April 2014 DECLARED Holidays, Holy Week!

March 6, 2014 by Janey

Holy Week is next month.

It can easily be one of our favorite parts of the year due to the long non-working holiday break.

Most importantly, we all remember what Jesus has done for us on the Cross…

While we were sinners, he loved us and died for us.

And that LOVE continues to bridge us to Our Father in Heaven.

The Script, Jason Mraz, Aerosmith and Cascades 2013 Live in Manila CONCERT – where to get tickets!

March 22, 2013 by Janey

There are four LIVE concerts in Manila this summer that I am itching to watch…

1. Jason Mraz LIVE in Manila

Ovation Productions and Music Management International brings back American singer-songwriter, Jason Mraz to Manila. I remember watching his concert last year with Toca Rivera with my Victory church friends. That was back in October 2011 and nay even 2 years, and he’s here again. This year, he plays with his band.

2. The Script Live in Manila Concert

On March 31, 2013, The Script returns to Manila as part of their #3 World Tour at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Midas Promotions brings back one of the most loved bands in the world composed of the trio, Danny O’Donoghue, Mark Sheehan and Glen Power.

I also watched the last Script concert in Manila and it was with CW. We both decided to give the Bleachers, also known as General Admission section, a try and experience a concert from that perspective (other than ticket prices are expensive and the seating area we like are already almost sold out). Lo and behold, it was one of the most fun concerts we’ve experienced. We were just chill and we could sing out loud without a care in the world. Money well spent.

Jason Mraz LIVE in Manila Concert on October 30, 2011

September 13, 2011 by Janey

American singer-songwriter Jason Thomas Mraz is coming to Manila for a concert on October 30, 2011. I am almost missing this but I’m only flying out to Hong Kong the next day so I can still catch this 34-year old Grammy winner!

Concert is entitled Jason Mraz: Special Acoustic Evening with Toca Rivera and tickets are available through Ticketnet.

Mr. AZ will be here and all I can say is, “I’m Yours!” All yours baby! 🙂

Mraz’s international breakthrough came with the release of the single “I’m Yours” from the album We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things. The single peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Mraz his first top ten single.

Go Green at Krispy Kreme!

February 3, 2011 by Janey

In line with the release of the Green Hornet movie, Krispy Kreme recently launched a limited edition of Green Hornet Doughnuts. One bite and you get that minty-familiar-somewhat-fruity-perplexed taste that can probably remind you of your favorite bubblegum when you were a kid. This bubblegum flavored pastry treat is drizzled with a refreshing sting of cool mint.

Head to your nearest Krispy Kreme branch and grab their limited edition Green Hornet Doughnuts. Inspired by the excitement of the newest movie to hit big screens—The Green Hornet.

This limited edition of the confectionary treat lasts only until February 13, so be sure to grab one before you head to the cinemas to taste this special flavor edition of Krispy Kreme.

John Mayer Concert in Manila Postponed! –Battle Studies World Tour!

March 29, 2010 by Janey

***UPDATE as of April 22, 2010***

John Mayer Concert in Manila is supposedly moved to October 1, 2010. I wonder why it’s postponed to later this year?

“Due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts, the concert being held at SM MOA in Manila on May 16th, 2010 is being rescheduled to October 1st. All original tickets will be honored then. Our deepest apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.”

—————

John Mayer is coming to Manila for his Battle Studies World Tour on May 16, 2010. It’s going to be his first show ever in the Philippines.

Timbaland feat. Justin Timberlake and Jojo Post-Concert Review:

How did you guys like the Timbaland concert? 🙂 It supposedly started at 10PM to make way for the Earth Hour? I heard a lot of people were disappointed that JT didn’t really dance that much and production was only so-so? How true is that? Would love to hear your feedback!

POV -it’s still fantastic to see JT and Timbaland and Jojo no matter what! 😉

Cheers!

Krispy Kreme Egg-citing Doughnuts

March 26, 2010 by Janey

One thing parents and children alike get excited about during Easter Day is the Easter bunny egg hunt. A lot of hotels have small egg-hunt events for their patrons.

Ancient cultures like the Egyptians, Persians and Hindus have believed that the world began with an enormous egg, and various cultures have since adopted it as a symbol for rebirth or renewal.

Since then, the most popular tradition associated with the egg is Easter, when the vibrant colors of spring inspire the decorative motifs. that give the eggs their characteristic look. Apart from being a symbol of new life, Easter eggs are still given away as a token of friendship, love or good wishes –enduring beliefs that outlast the fast pace of life.

And with Easter just around the corner, expect Krispy Kreme to fill everyone’s baskets with Easter joy. To celebrate this age-old tradition, the famed doughnut shop has transformed their wide selection of treats into egg-shaped delights, featuring Hershey’s Dark Chocolate, Hershey’s Cookies & Cream, Peanut Butter & Kreme, Snickers Classic, Chocolate Custard Filled, Chocolate Kreme Filled, Sugar, Cinnammon Apple, Caramel Kreme Crunch, Chocolate Iced With Sprinkles and new varieties like Lemon Iced, Blueberry Iced & Strawberry Iced. Available starting March 29, be sure to get these limited-edition doughnuts while supplies last.

Krispy Kreme has been making Filipinos happy since 2006, when they opened the first branch in Bonifacio High Street. Since then, it has spread to branches in Greenhills Shopping Center (drive-thru), SM Mall of Asia (drivethru), Trinoma Cinema Level, SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia, Ayala Avenue, Robinsons Galleria, Gateway Mall, Glorietta 4, SM City Annex (North EDSA), Annex 2 SM Fairvew, Eastwood, Marquee Mall, SM San Lazaro and SM Manila. Log on to www.krispykreme.com.ph and be a Friend of Krispy Kreme to get update or call 0917-8053000 for parties and special function needs.
