Wanderland 2013

Got VIP passes from PLDT to be a part of Wanderland 2013 last May 18 at The Circuit. It's indeed a fun experience and I'm glad to have spent it with my close friends. Also, it's so nice to see a lot of friends, acquaintances, and familiar faces at the event.

What I really enjoyed were the free cocktail drinks from Havaianas, free Magnum ice cream, 3 cups of Smirnoff-Sprite or Captain Morgan-Coke for only Php 200, and the music of Tully on Tully, Avalanche City, Up Dharma Down, Temper Traps, and Neon Trees! We arrived during sunset so we missed the other performances such as that of Taken by Cars.

It's a crazy night indeed! We were kinda hit by alcohol which made it even more fun! Can't wait for next year's Wanderland Arts and Music Festival! See you all again soon!:)

BFFs all dolled up for Wanderland! :)

Behind the Scenes of PLDT's heyU

Do you remember these videos that went viral last February?

Well I was actually a part of the team behind these digital advertisements by PLDT's new product, heyU. It's actually a VoIP service that works like Viber, but this time, it's free to call landlines. Telpad users can download the app for free, while regular PLDT landline subscribers have to pay Php 100 on top of their monthly service fees (MSF) in order to avail of the service. Besides free landline calls, heyU also allows calling the US, Canada, and Hawaii for only Php 1.50/minute just like that of a budget card. A special rate of Php 5/min also apply for calls to Sun, Smart, and Talk N Text.

As part of the digital team that handled heyU, we were the ones who developed the online ads, and the videos as well. We were also the ones who conducted the "heyUpickMe" twitter promo that made one girl win a date with Daniel Matsunaga. However, I just left my job even before heyU's official press launch at White Space last April 24. But still, I felt happy that the brand I used to service had a successful launch. Too bad I was out of town so I wasn't able to witness it live. But thanks to social media, I got updated real time.

Anyway, it was an honour working with team heyU -- clients, agencies (digital, PR/media), production house (including the director, producer, editors). It was a quick yet fun experience for me. I met new friends and I've learned a lot too!:)

Here are some BTS photos I wanna share:

JLo Dance Again World Tour Manila!!!

Sorry if this is a month-late post. I just had to post it.:)

Unlike the other girls, I wasn't really dying to have a ticket to JLo's concert. Despite the fact that I love almost all of her songs, I can say that I wasn't much of a JLo fan...but everything changed when I've seen her perform LIVE!

On the 26th of November, I woke up at around 1pm. I read my messages and one of them was my BFF saying that she got me a free upper box ticket to JLo's concert. I wasn't convinced that much because Mall of Asia Arena was too far from where I live. But since Pam's also coming to join me in the upper box, I got out of bed and fixed myself for the concert.

I wasn't impressed with the front acts, plus I didn't like the fact that the program was "ON and OFF", you know, there's a break after every front act, plus another break before the "real" JLo concert. But the mood was perfectly set when JLo came out with "Get Right", as an opening act. Pam and I were so stunned!

Then on the second song, Dianne told us to meet her as she had spare lower box tickets. So we had lower box tickets but the organizers lent us an All Access Pass that got us in. We proceeded to the Patron VIP section immediately. OH MY GOD, we were just a few inches away from JLo...and that became one of the best nights of my life! I AM NOW OFFICIALLY A JENNIFER LOPEZ FAN!:) What could be better than dancing in a club with JLo singing live as your background?!? Yeah, it wasn't a club, but it felt more like it 'coz we were so crazy partying on a huge dance floor infornt of JLo! haha! You know, rubbing elbows with the IT-girl barkada LOL! Again, this is what you call MAXIMUM FUN WITHOUT A COST! haha!

Here are some of the photos I've taken:

happy girls!:)

And of course, the video of my favorite, "Dance Again":

Dance Again (JLo Live in Manila) from royciepoisie on Vimeo.

I also loved the mash-up of all JLo's songs such as "I'm Real", "Jenny from the Block", "Love Don't Cost a Thing", etc. I just wasn't able to upload the video because it's quite long and my laptop and internet joined forces in being slow haha!

And most of all, I love JLo's outfits! They're all sparkling! Everything was just made right for her. It's my dream to be as hot as JLo when I'm 43! (fingers crossed lol)

Thanks PLDT Fibr!:) #PLDTFibrJLo
