Weekend Tidbits

THE phone to have NOW. The now phone is the Netphone.

The Mr. having some Wave 89.1 action.

The place was filled to the brim. And the line outside was still insanely long.

Andi Manzano and KC Montero hosted.

Armed for the night.

Suffice to say the highlight of the weekend was Smart Netphone's grand launch. This is just one of the rare occasions mummy goes clubbing. I'm so not cut for the clubbing scene. But boy did I have fun! I tell you, no one else throws a party like Smart. 

In other news, Le Misch and I are in the hometown for a week-long family bonding. My little seasoned traveler is such a delight to travel with. It's just the 2 of us. No nanny in tow and no Dada too. (As you can tell above, he is still crazy busy with the Netphone.) No fuss, no tantrums, nothing. So in spite of my Netphone hangover, we made it through the flight. Thank goodness.

The weekend that was. How was yours?

P.S. The Smart Netphone is out in the market! Be sure to check it out at all Smart Stores or online and see why this phone is THE one phone to have now. I shall tell you how this phone fits a mum-on-the-go-who-goes-clubbing-once-in-a-while lifestyle like mine, in another post.

What do you GET UP for?

Was the question of the night at Golden ABC's launch of its Corporate Social Responsibility platform, GET UP. Golden ABC, a major player in the industry has brands like Penshoppe, Oxygen, ForMe, Memo, Regatta, and Tyler under its umbrella. They are not just all about fashion and the business of it, though. 

The company has been quietly supporting various organizations and foundations for over 2 decades now. In celebration of its 25th year, Golden ABC decided its high time to share what they've been up to and that the best way to do so is to engage all of its customers in raising awareness to several advocacies the company has a soft spot for. The categories are divided into Education, Community Building, Environment, and Arts & Culture.

Here I am with the other (very young!) bloggers, rubbing elbows with CNN's 2009 Hero of the Year, Efren Penaflorida and Golden ABC's CSR maven, Pat Magbanua.

To know more about GET UP, watch this.

We all GET UP for something. I GET UP for my family, my work, my passions. I GET UP for my daughter. I GET UP for mothers and young children. Golden ABC is making it easier for me to GET UP for my cause/s. To know more about GET UP, their advocacies and how you can be part of it, check out their site.

And even just by shopping can make you part of GET UP too. As for every Php1000 minimum single receipt purchase from any of Golden ABC's brands, Php25 will go to a GET UP advocacy of your choice. 

Time to GET UP! 

dissection of an ensemble

A quick post before I head back to the grind. I've had a couple of challenging last-minute shoots thus it has been quiet around here. I can't wait for the weekend and for our short sojourn to the hometown next week, where time is just pleasantly slow. For now, here's an outfit post of what we wore running errands last week. 

This is the closest I can get to pajama dressing. For some odd reason, I cannot do the  light printed pants number no matter how comfortable it seems. Perhaps I haven't found the right print. Perhaps its just not me. I don't know. One thing I know is that I love peter pan collars and the scallop detail of this pair of shorts. 

I also love how such a happy, easy going child Mischka is turning out to be. Just look at that mirth on her face. Contagious.
