A Memorable Family Bonding Moment at Buddha-Bar Manila's Magical Easter Sunday Celebration

Wazzup Pilipinas!
Easter Sunday was made extra special for the children at Buddha-Bar Manila's Magical Easter celebration.

Amidst the gigantic Buddha glaring from the second level, kids were treated to several games, artsy activities, and a magical show, plus a hearty lunch, on a Sunday where the Easter bunny came out form a magician's hat!

Parents bonded with their kids as they played through the different fun challenges and recreational activities specially organized by Buddha-Bar Manila.

I got hooked with the design your own cookie that's shaped like an egg (or was it a huge water droplet? Lol!). The kids got to use their a mix of their favorite frosting colors, together with tiny marshmallows, color-coated candies, rainbow sprinkles and many other edible decors to enhance their creativity. The best part of the challenge is someone gets to win for the best design, and they all get to eat their creations afterwards.

All the challenges would entails some lucky kids to win toy prizes from Buddha-Bar Manila. I love that portable basketball ring!

All children present were also given loot baskets and cupcakes the moment they entered the place so that meant smiling faces already at the very start of the day.

Filling up both parents and children was the sumptuous buffet spread from delightful salads, to yummy main entrees, all the way to sugary sensational desserts of many varieties. There is no doubt the kids enjoyed these treats as well.

Pilyo Cheesecake Soufllés in Iconic All-Time Favorite Bibingka Flavor

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I don't know any Filipino who can resist eating our iconic all-time favorite "bibingka"  or rice cake that is often seen when the holiday season is around. Though there are some street food stalls and restaurants that still cook them even after Christmas, they are still a rare find making them rare treats for those craving of these delicious rice cakes.

Now, there's an alternative to having the traditional "bibingka" because a couple originally based in Australia has conceptualized the Cheesecake Soufllés in Bibingka flavor! This means Christmas everyday and would also satisfy your craving for cheesecake as well!

We met with the people behind Pilyo Cheesecake Soufllés accidentally through an event held at their restaurant, and after several months we were actually aiming to reunite with them to feature their place. However, they were in the process of re-conceptualizing their business, but they offered instead another one they were currently doing home-based. They were referring to Pilyo which offers Cheesecake Soufllés of different varieties, and among them is the bibingka-flavored!

"We put the cheek in Grandma Filo's food using a playful approach reflective of Australian culture whilst paying tribute to traditional flavours. So come and shout “wala 'yan sa lola ko!" (that's nothing like my grandmother's!)."

My luck that bibingka happens to be an all-time favorite of mine. I don;t need to wait for Christmas for I can eat bibingka everyday. Still, it is very much appreciated that Pilyo has taken "bibingka" to the next level...and that level is delish all the way!

Go All-Natural with Electrolyte-Infused Roar Sports Drink

Can you bear the heat this summer?

Now, imagine being under the sun ding your favorite sport like basketball, volleyball , or even just running or brisk walking? That would surely make you frown not only because of the heat but also of the dehydration you're sure to experience if you are under that scorching sun.

Those under the shades are already complaining, what more those who are perspiring outdoors. Be also wary that dehydration may cause damage to your health including giving you sunburn and skin diseases. Getting a dried throat and sore eyes also would lead to serious complications. This is why being hydrated is very important.

But you don't need to be an athlete or fitness buff to require proper hydration. As news and events bloggers, we keep on running from one news-worthy event to the next for our media coverage. And if you are without a car, this means hopping from one public transportation to the next whether it's the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) or Light Rail Transit (LRT), taxi, jeepney, bus, tricycle, or even the pedicabs. If we have the budget, we could take the Uber or Grab cars, but that would mean spending extra.

Now, it would have been easier if there's no more need to walk (or run) if all places are connected by public utility drop-offs or pick-ups, but it's not so there's still the need to perspire some more to reach our destination. This is why I always keep an extra shirt to prevent me from seemingly showering in sweat.

To keep myself hydrated, thank goodness I had the Roar Sports Drink with me at every occasion. It is my life-saver to keep myself composed, relaxed and definitely away from dehydration. The best thing is I got my hands on the rainbow samplers - different varieties or flavors so I could taste each one.

Now I'm craving for more as my stock is already at zero.
