Party Away at 55 Events Place

55 Events Place is the ultimate happening venue, it's where extraordinary parties come to life.

Located at Scout Rallos in Timog, Quezon City, 55 Events Place has that zen and minimalist feel with its large picture windows, doors and earth-toned interiors.

The outdoor garden space that leads up to the bathroom and courtesy room where guests can lounge and retouch their make-up.

I love the modern feel of 55 Events Place, it gives me a lot of ideas for events I'm planning.

You can go grand and set a lavish affair in their ballroom area which is very ideal if you're expecting a large crowd like with debuts, weddings and golden wedding anniversaries. 55 Events Place is 700 square meters of multi-functional space which can easily be set and prep for your party needs.

If it's an intimate affair between friends and family, you may go for a casual and relaxing ambiance in 55 Events' very inviting zen garden.

The garden has this impressive cascading water feature which can be cool and relaxing for the guests.

I'm thinking a tropical Luau party would be perfect in this area.

55 Events Place is the perfect venue for weddings, debuts, birthdays, corporate events, parties, seminars and reunions.

In addition to a stage and backdrop, dance floor, widescreen and projector, the venue also offers the use of KTV and a lighted dance floor. 

There has been a lot of great themed parties held at the venue. Notably a black and white debutant party with giant dice replicas on the dance floor. A Disney-inspired party, and a Hello-Kitty themed party, which included a huge inflatable slide and a parlor for kids, complete with nail polish, glitters, glitter tattoo, and a photo booth. 

55 Events Place has its own in-house catering, as well as accredited and known caterers in its roster. Namely the following Philippine caterers:

• Hizon's Catering
• Josiah's Catering
• Tamayo's Catering
• Verleo's Catering

For the event, Hizon’s catering prepared a truly Filipiniana feast.

Desserts Galore at Tamayo's Catering. I had like 3 of these choco swirls and 2 of the Jellies. 

Tamayo's catering featured a romantic wedding buffet and an all-white table setting.

Josiah’s catering went all out with a fun children's party buffet.

I went gaga for these adorable baby burgers just right for the kiddies!

Swan catering offered the guests a flavourful and spicy Mediterranean buffet. I felt so stuffed like a kebab afterwards!

At the oriental buffet by Verleo or VS&F catering, we were treated to a golden table setting and festive Asian cuisine.

Miss Mars Abesamis of 55 Events Place and Mr. Kiko Rustia host the day's event.

"Last 
year, 2008, we decided to renovate the warehouse and make it into an events place. We saw the demand for party venues. People would really rather celebrate their parties in a place where they could transform it the way they want it and not worry about cleaning up after, which is the case when they have it at their own homes." 

"Our clients like the idea of a worry-free party. They just go to the place, have fun, party, eat, go home and rest." - Dick Balajadia and Mars Abesamis of 55 Events Place

To date that event at 55 Events Place was the most fab and fulfilling gastronomique treat for me this 2009!

55 Events Place is a great location for fun and unique events.

BabyCow's First Cosplay Event

We went to A-Venue Mall Makati last Monday for my son's first Cosplay.

The event was called Hero Nation: The Ultimate Youth Gathering (Strictly no parents allowed hahaha) Well, not really. 

Nikki, my friend's sister is the total cosplay fanatic. She informed me of the event the night before and I spent my whole morning trying to make a Hobbit hoodie for my CowCow. It was a sewing disaster befitting a project runway okrayan (critique).

But CowCow was happy to parade in it anyway sans the hobbit curly hair and hairy feet.

He had no idea how big the event was.

We merely told him it would be a big birthday costume party. He got so overwhelmed that he didn't want his photo taken with any of the cosplayers. He also got very hungry.

After a good meal, Cow was less cranky and now wanted a photo op with one guy, his only favorite cosplayer.

This really loaded army guy. He calls him Mr. Counterstrike. The rest didn't matter to him. I have a feeling though Mr. Counterstrike is the oldest guy in costume. Cool ey?

One can never be too old or young to enjoy something this playful and creative.

Some teens came with their nannies and moms in tow.

Some with their peers.

I may no longer be this anime buff like I once was growing up and I am no longer attune to whatever series is holding these young kids captive.

But I do appreciate the passion they have for dressing up.

I love the detail and work they put into their clothes. Some take about 1-3 weeks to prepare their outfits and accessories. The mental prep for self-promotion though comes naturally.

She reminds me of Candy Candy!

 

Love the flaming hair!

Sheer joy!

How about a pencil trick?

A bride or a nun? Take a guess...

DaddyCow used to be "in-betweener" for anime like Twins of Destiny (Julio & Julia) and Midnight Pierce. Okay so that's roughly revealing his age. Hah!

Cow likes her!

Cute as a button!

Lovin' the Metal Gear Box

No storm trooper showed up so it kinda disappointed Cow. Nikki told me we should go to a Sci-fi convention next time. Yeah and maybe by then I should wear some psychedelic bouffant with a really tight, suffocating Edwardian bodice. Or I could just show up as a giant dairy Cow!

SpongeBob Square Pants Spotted at Glorietta

I was on my way to a meeting when I stumbled upon Bikini Bottom at Glorietta. This was taken a few weeks ago. 

I felt really bad my son wasn't with me. He would have gone bonkers seeing Spongebob and Patrick Star!

Even Patchy the Pirate was there. Aaaw. But no Mr. Krabs in sight! He's such a cheapskate!

Moms Breathe Easy with Electrolux Air Conditioners

If you can't stand the humidity in Manila then invest in a dependable air conditioner. At some point, living here in the Philippines, you're bound to give in. Why suffer sweating throughout the summer months? Why locked your selves in away from the smog and endure hours of stale air?

Give your family some space to breathe and relax, invest in an AC unit that would soothe you to sleep without racking up a huge electricity bill. Of course, Moms you should know how to properly manage your hours of AC use.

I'm seriously thinking of getting an airconditioner for my son's room. I think Christmas would be a perfect time to get one considering the promos available. The last time I bought an AC was five years ago, I got one when my son was a newborn since he was prone to allergies, I bought an AC and an air ionizer then but we left the units at the old house when we moved out. 

After going to the Electrolux showroom, I got to see their air conditioner series up-close. An Electrolux AC unit is an all-in-one model that can provide you with clean air, moisturized skin and targeted cooling. In addition, with an extremely high energy efficiency rating of 11.6, you’ll enjoy numerous benefits such as low noise, energy savings and optimal temperature without sudden changes.

I particularly go for products that are cost and energy efficient. I prefer products that are easy to use, I'm not much into features that require selectively programming a machine (like Daddycow does) I'm all for no fuss, pre-set functions. But with Electrolux ACs you have the best of both options.

What I like about Electrolux Air Conditioners:

• Cost Efficient. The air conditioner also minimizes power consumption - by reaching the required temperature rapidly, and then reducing power usage to just what’s needed to keep the temperature stable. This is great value for your money.
  
  
• User-Friendly. The AC has a luminescent LCD remote and one touch climate control.
  
  
• Unique Follow Me Technology. Call it cooling precision when your home AC sees you as a target. Carry the AC remote around with you and the AC tracks and directs the cool air wherever you are in the room. Oh yeah, the future is indeed here.
  
  
• It's easy to clean
  
  
• Unobtrusive design. It's not a noisy, hulking mammoth in the room, the AC can blend in with any interior style.

Bonus Mommy Points for:

• Vitamin C Filter. Say NO to Dry Skin: Electrolux ACs keeps you moisturized with its Vitamin C filter and for those who want fairer skin, you'll benefit from its melanin reduction features. This AC keeps you fresh all day by continuously releasing nano particles of pure Vitamin C into the air. 
  
  
• Bio HEPA Filter. The Bio HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter removes over 95% of bacteria and 99% of dust particles, and thus eliminates the problem of re-pollution when the filtered air is re-circulated.
  
  
• Active Plasma Filtration. This reduces the incidence of allergies, asthma and even the common cold by guarding against 99% of airborne allergens; 95% of harmful bacteria and 85% of viruses.
  
  
• Great After Sales Service. Electrolux won't forget about you. To thank their consumers, they would even call you up for the free cleaning service of your AC unit (That's 4 times in one year). They also have a 5-year compressor warranty.

A Scandinavian Christmas: God Jul from Electrolux Philippines

God Jul! That's Merry Christmas in Swedish.

Electrolux, a Scandinavian brand with 90 years of global experience in home appliances has just launched its special series of Split Type Air-conditioners in the Philippines.

Most of us are probably not aware that the global brand Electrolux hails from Sweden. Yeah, Sweden the land of garage punk music, graddost cheese and The Moomins. And I got to experience an early Holiday event at the Electrolux showroom.

A lovely Swede talks about Scandinavian Christmas traditions! Ja!

Mr. JP introduces Electrolux's new range of air conditioners. I so dig the Christmas tree tie, I wonder if it lights up?

Vitamin C Moisture Test: Studies made on the new Vitamin C filter. A special feature of the Electrolux Air-conditioners.

As an effect of the Vitamin C Filter, it restrains the production of Melanin, making your skin look fairer. 

For lunch, we had a taste of Swedish Cuisine: Sweet & Sour Red Cabbage

There's lotsa Salmon in the buffet too

The Lovely Miss Kath from Real Living magazine

Time for games people! No hiding behind the Christmas tree

We got to spruce up this Ginger bread house!

Everything one needs to decorate a Ginger bread house is in a box.

My icing nozzle was clogged and I made a mess of the roof. I call this Hansel & Gretel after a blizzard.

Ginger bread house winners!

Q&A hour on Electrolux innovations

Miss Nikki Ong of the Manila Bulletin asked about the Melanin factor & the Follow-Me technology.

"Electrolux air-conditioners are designed for real consumers' needs and lifestyles." Mr. Terry Sales, Marketing Manager of Electrolux

More surprises

We had the pleasure of meeting a local Jultomten. A Swedish house gnome who brings out the gifts like Santa.

A Toast and more God Jul!

Cheers!

Michelle Obama: A First Lady that Rocks!

Obama lovin' (Obvious ba? In love ang lolobels!)

Mrs. Obama is stunning in her golden strapless silhouette gown by Naeem Khan. The Indian bangle bracelets are a plus.

The event was a state dinner with the Indian Prime Minister and his wife, Gursharan Kaur.

Will our next Philippine First lady be this charming?

A Family that Shop Lifts Together

A Family that Shop Lifts Together... will sooo land in jail.



Mommy naman idinamay mo pa mga anak mo? (Mommy why drag your kids into theft?)

Years ago, there was this pregnant woman who shoplifted a large can of milk, her infant was starving. Mommy had gone criminal for her kid. She was arrested and thrown into jail with her baby. The next day a politician bailed her out and bought the milk for her. This was in the tabloids. This was sad and wrong yet somehow we find it in our hearts to understand the mom's predicament. 

In this case, however, Mom and Pops are going high-end, thievery hits the designer stores. Read the original post and photo owner Mr. John - here at the Fatlace website

Sorry I had to post this, I really found it disturbing.
