See You at Vertis North Quezon City

     Last week, I was invited to the launch of two exciting destinations in Quezon City- Seda Vertis North and Ayala Malls Vertis North. These two destinations are essential to take the quality of life a notch higher in a city that’s already progressive—one that offers seamless hospitality at par with global standards and another that delivers a hip lifestyle experience that can make people feel more alive.

     Can I say that I'm lucky because I live in Quezon City? I don't need to brave the traffic going to other cities because of the leading hotel chain- Seda Hotels and the first millennial mall in the Philippines- Ayala Vertis North are now open to serve the public. Let me share a quick tour of two essentials to the Quezon City Central Business District after the jump!

Feature: Avida Land My Path to Financial Freedom Planner

     Hello dearies! How's your weekend so far? Mine's so busy. Aside from blogging, I also had a guesting gig in one of the tv shows last week, run errands for our family's business, took a day-off from social media sites because of exhaustion. 

     I'm back today and would like to share with you a feature of one of the planners that I have on hand. It's from Avida Land- "My Path to Financial Freedom". It's basically a new format of planner for me because it is something that will help me jumpstart my future towards financial freedom. Is this really attainable? Sharing some interesting information on how to take the path to financial freedom after the jump!

Avida x Ayala Museum "Inspire Every Day" Event

     What inspires you every day? A question that made me think not only what but also who. We all have inspiration and whatever it is, that is the very reason why we stay positive despite the negative things that we encounter everyday. My answer to this question is simple and I can sense that mothers out there can relate. 

     So again, what inspires me every day? Every time I see the priceless smile on my son's face. It reminds me that I am blessed to have a reason to be more positive, responsible, and thankful to whatever life brings. Seeing the smile on my son's face, I see that he will embrace life to the fullest with deeper understanding and will be thankful for all the things that life has to offer when he grows up. In line with this question, Avida Land, Ayala Museum and CNN Philippines Life, recently held Inspire Every Day—a full-day event that celebrates art, literature, history and everything in between, aiming to inspire visitors to pursue their passions in their daily lives. See highlight of the event below :)

Avida x Ayala Museum "Inspire Every Day" Event

     Admission for the event it free. I've seen a lot of visitors who gamely engaged in a day of interesting activities and fun-filled pocket events in line with the theme, “Inspiration Got Us Started, Passion Keeps Us Going.” It's a day of fun and activity and visitors are in for a treat!

• Free access to enter Ayala Museum and the Filipinas Heritage Library 
• Visitors were also treated to a selection of changing exhibitions that included Object Travelogue/Dialogue, which showcased pieces from the Ayala Museum collection that have been featured in exhibitions abroad; Sanso: Setting the Stage, an exhibition of reproductions of Sanso’s work by artists Toym Imao and James Reyes that showcase his stage and costume design work; and The Diary of Tetsuya Noda: Steven Co Collection, which presents an intimate glimpse into the life of the Japanese contemporary printmaker. 
• Guests also got a special look at an exhibit from Julia Nebrija called Old Manila Lego Architecture.

Highlights of Avida x Ayala Museum "Inspire Every Day" Event

1. One of the most exciting part of this action-packed day were the talks on How to Make it in Manila from the metro’s most in-demand fashion photographer BJ Pascual, and Historical Films from multi-award winning film director, composer, editor, sound designer and writer Jerrold Tarog.

2. Another highlight of the event was Avida Land’s Homepossible installation, located at the Museum Café and brought to life by painter and calligrapher Anina Rubio’s live art. Through Avida’s Homepossible event, visitors were given an opportunity to become homebuyers, find a space where they can express themselves and experience an inspired life firsthand.
