Kathryn Bernardo's Smart Way To Refresh—Oishi Smart C+

I gotta admit, I have probably gulped a number of unhealthy drinks for the last 100 days of summer.
I think you all did too. Aminin! But there's always a part in us that somehow prefer it to be healthier, without compromising the taste.

Something was up at Aracama, BGC yesterday and the theme goes Live. Travel. Adventure.

Upon arrival, the guests were asked to write their preferred travel destinations and stick it on a map.

And to even feel more of the vibe, we were all given plain tote bags where we can play art with it and paint whatever we feel that's close to the idea of Summer and Refresh.

My day wasn't going exactly well as planned—so I quoted Harlan Cohen, to refresh myself with a little wisdom. Please excuse my so-called art. I haven't been in touch with my côté artistique for a long time. :)

But fellow lifestyle blogger Marj Sia did a really good with her tote bag.

So good she can actually turn it into a business or something. :)

Slater Young graced the guests a warm welcome as he introduced the newest member of Oishi Smart C+ family, celebrity teen queen and endorser—Kathryn Bernardo!

With Kathryn Bernardo's successful career that keeps her schedule full, she still managed to always stay fresh and ready to take any challenge, on and off-cam, as well as how she balance her career and personal life.

Knowing how busy a celebrity must be, Kathryn walks in the room looking dashing and lovely. She's fun, refreshing, interactive and playful, and I must say Kathryn Bernardo's personality fits well to perfectly endorse Smart C+ by Oishi.

Oishi Smart C+, which comes in three variants—Lemon Squeeze, Orange Crush, and Pomelo Grapefruit—packs a punch of flavor with 500mg of Vitamin C found in every 500mL bottle. That's the equivalent Vitamin C to either four grapefruits, eight oranges, or 11 lemons.

Positioned as an alternative ready-to-drink product among health-conscious consumers, Oishi Smart C+ seeks to keep up with the dynamic lifestyle of the youth today, giving them their daily dose of vitamin C.

What Happened at Yahoo! OMG Awards 2013

I barely attend events with mainstream celebrities (no offense) but when Grace told me she got me in to cover the Yahoo! OMG Awards 2013, I couldn't say no. And truth be told, I only did my readings about it a day before the event (hehe). I was supposed to meet the rest of the media at 6750 Ayala Avenue but when my sister requested for me to pass by Maxims Hotel for a fashion emergency, which would make me minutes late from the call-time, I decided to meet the rest of the gang at Mall of Asia Arena. It was a Friday afternoon after all and we all know what could happen on a rainy Friday rush-hour on EDSA.

After claiming our media passes on the registration, we bumped into the Boys Night Out dj's Slick Rick (Eric Virata), Tony Toni (Anthony James Bueno) and Sam YG (Samir Gogna). And as always, they're so chummy-chummy to talk to. :)

Rain was pouring hard so we decided to get inside where we were ushered to the media lounge for dinner. Here with me is the smart and charming Andria—Grace's daughter.

We settled inside while waiting for the event to start. But while we scout around for a better place for photos, we hear fans screaming outside. As we walked towards the red purple carpet entrance, we bumped into radio dj duo's Nicole Hyala and Chis Tsuper—who are both nominated for Female and Male Radio DJ of the Year.

So we decided to peek for a closer look. And I landed on a better photo-view beside TV networks' cameras. Ha! :) 

Here's Marian Rivera being interviewed.

Rocco Nacino 

Barbie Almalbis 

Also nominated that night was Radio dj Papa Jack on red purple carpet with his wife and his daughter.

And Bea Binene—named Yahoo! OMG Awards 2013 Best Dressed—wearing a leather-chiffon gown by Porfi Medina.

Coke Mismo 300mL: Happiness On The Go!

Question: What comes to mind whenever you see, hear or think about Coke? 
Well, I can think of four. :)

Lechon. And must be the best one, of course! (Read: not makunat)

Shamrock's Otap (puff pastry).

We would get a box full of it twice a year every time my uncle comes to visit us from Cebu. And it goes well with Coke for merienda.

Christmas.

Only because this is the season when (almost) everyone, my mum included, are insanely hoarding boxes and bottles of Coke until New Year's Eve.

And lastly, Cecile.

Cecile Zamora van Straten is the blogger behind Chuvaness.com ―who blogs about almost everything juicy, interesting and beautiful, always wear her hearts on her sleeve, really nice to people who are also nice, loves wearing black, and (like me) also a sucker for Coke! :)

Coke on shabu-shabu in Ginza.

Japanese Coke.

.Her version of Coke in a bowl of ice! :)

And to quote her as a Coke expert, "Coke is the first thing to go because it makes everything taste so good."

Last week, everything on both Twitter and Instagram was all about the #ItoNa #GleeForCoke hashtags. And netizens, even on Facebook was buzzin' about what the red mystery crates in Glorietta, Ayala Market! Market! and Trinoma malls were all about. 

To bring more happiness to Pinoys, the red mysterious crates were simultaneously revealed last Saturday, June 8, 2013 on three Ayala Malls as Coco-Cola launched the Ito Na! Coke Mismo 300mL bottle for only P10 with four of today's global youth icons from the musical TV series Glee: Jacob Artist, Melissa Benoist, Dean Geyer and Becca Tobin.   

And to double the fun, the Coca-Cola Happiness Ambassadors' Enchong Dee, Julia Montes, Joseph Marco, and Kathryn Bernardo were there too!

 Iya Villania was hosting.

A few minutes before the red crates will be revealed, while Glee stars and brand ambassadors with Iya Villania walked to the red crates, the crowd went crazy and ran towards it.

That being said, this was my view.

Definitely not a good idea to mix media/press with the fans. 0_0
But I thought, I can't leave without better photos.
So I did the ninja moves, stood on a chair and took these. Ha! :)

Still, please excuse that huge camera right there... and a few hands.

Spotted! Brent Javier. 

Jujiin Samonte and Paulo Castro both wearing COMME des GARÇONS. Paulo is very chummy. He had me at "Gusto nyo ng cotton candy?" Haha! :)

Arran "Caloy" Sese, Coca-Cola PH's President for Happiness.

The Coca-Cola Mismo 300 mL available for only P10 allows more Filipinos to enjoy delicious taste and unique refreshment in a 300ml PET bottle that is easy to carry anywhere. For young troopers who are always on the go, say bulky bottles or even plastic bags from sari-sari stores no more, Coca-Cola Mismo provides instant access and portability to that ice-cold bottle of happiness.
