The (Mis)Adventures of Superboink

What a great blog comeback post! Coming from a long break (been busy with a lot of things - like work, etc.) I am sharing with all of you my first blog entry for 2015.  The Philippine International Furniture Show (PIFS) will take place at the SMX Convention Center, Manila from March 13 (Friday) to March 16 (Monday). About 8,000 visitors from 70 countries are expected in the event, which features the best Filipino interior design products --- furniture, home decors, and many more.  This event is one of the most awaited in the interior design and furniture industries. It showcases the finest of Filipino designs and serves as a platform for international and local buyers to connect with our homegrown artists. PIFS 2015 also features the Million Dollar Decorators Mary McDonald and Nathan Turner as its special guests. Some of the Show exhibitors include my personal favorite Vito Selma, Ito Kish, Locsin International and Azcor Lighting.  To know more about the ...

*This is an overdue post.* In the spirit of Easter and the cute Easter bunnies...I am posting about 'HOP' , a movie we watched early this month. It was a story about family, acceptance and reaching for your dreams. The movie (for me) wasn't as good as the Disney movies like Cars or Finding Nemo, but I am sure it was able to send the moral lesson across to kids and even adults like me. I asked W what he learned from the movie and he said, "I learned that I should always listen to my mommy and daddy so I won't get into trouble." I think he got that from the scene when E.B. (the next-in-line Easter Bunny) ran away from the Easter Island in his attempt to avoid the big responsibility that is being the Easter Bunny and he ended up getting hurt. For a preview of the movie plot, here's a video of the trailer: We were lucky enough to witness a promotional for the movie right after the show. We waited outside the cinema for the lead characters (mascots) ...

My dad is celebrating his ...ty-seven birthday on March 1st and so we've decided to celebrate at Resorts World last weekend. Luckily, the show KAOS is still running (it is on a 6-month run since December of last year) and we booked 23 of us in the family. Too bad that they don't allow babies inside the theater so my barely 2y/o neice (and hence the mom & dad) were unable to join us (but are set to watch next week but without the baby). The show started promptly at 3pm, with ushers politely guiding guests to their seats in the Newport Performing Arts Theater (at the 3rd floor of Maxim's). Most of the viewers were families with kids and families with balikbayan relatives and foreigner friends. M and I were seated at the middle-front row of the Balcony area while the elders (mom, dad, lola and our balikbayan tito and tita) were at the Deluxe. The kids and my bro and sisses were at the far back of the Balcony area. :: :: :: The story of Kaos revolves around the ques...

M and I were fortunate enough to have a generous dad, who gave us 2 tickets to "The Balladeers on Valentines Day" show held last February 14. Free Vday date! Held at the Manila Fiesta Pavillion of the Manila Hotel, the show is a benefit concert as the proceeds will be for the construction of the San Roque Church in Agmanic Santa Fe, Romblon. We arrived early (7pm) but the show started about 9pm. Dinner was served promptly after we were seated. --- Our ticket included a dinner, though I believe they also sold 'show-only' tickets as there were seats lined up at the far end of the pavillion;
