Gowns by Damsel: Biggest One-Stop Rental Shop in Metro Manila

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Why buy when you can just rent expensive gowns that you'll just probably be using once in your lifetime?

For instances like occasions that only happen once, it is more practical to borrow or rent rather than purchase something that would only rot inside the cabinet.

After all, it is the memory of the event that is more precious and not the material things that were used to make it extra special. So instead of gathering dust, insects or cobwebs in one corner of our homes, we would naturally consider using a rental gown.




The biggest and most extensive one-stop rental shop in Metro Manila - Gowns for Rent Manila by Damsel - will be joining as an exhibitor in the following wedding and debut exhibits:

The holiday season would always be the busiest times for our kitchen appliances as we would definitely be doing quite a lot of cooking on both Christmas and New Year, especially for the grand and festive meal times when the whole family gather together to partake of delightful dishes.

Thus, we see cooking stoves, ovens, and refrigerators working overtake to both cook and store these dishes before, during and after the celebrations.

Our guests are given extra special impirtance during these occasions so we serve them fresh, hot and cold dishes that they will surely love. Entertaining them comes easy with the right technological products to help us with our chores.

This holiday season, make sure to enlist the right refrigerator that will transform you into the best host; the LG InstaViewTM Door-in-Door (DID), party planning and entertaining becomes easy. With a state-of-the-art mirrored glass panel, checking the fridge for ingredients that you have to buy at the grocery is as easy as taking a peek. You only have to knock twice to see inside the easy access compartment without ever opening the door, reducing cold air loss to help keep food fresher longer. The LG InstaViewTM DID is also equipped with the SpaceplusTM Ice System. The door-mounted slim icemaker provides 20% more storage space, so you don’t have to lose your cool about running out of ice during a party.

Furthermore, fresh produce stays fresh longer with the Moist Balance CrisperTM. Specially designed by LG, the Moist Balance CrisperTM is an innovative lattice-patterned box cover, which maintains the moisture in the food and vegetable section at the optimal level.

Hiraya Artisan Chocolates: Filipino Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Company

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Who doesn't love chocolates? I've never met anyone who refuses to take a bite of these yummy sweet treats that are loved by both young and old alike.

There are quite so many brands available especially with the imported or foreign brands, but did you know that there are also a few Filipino brands out there?

Hiraya Chocolates takes its name from HIRAYA which is an ancient Filipino word which means “the fruit of one’s hopes, dreams, and aspirations.” Quite appropriately, the fruits, or "cacao beans" in this case, are harvested and sourced directly from local farmers. The company is a Filipino bean-to-bar chocolate company who follow sustainable, socially-conscious practices, and fair trade principles, making them an ideal company to patronize.

Their mission is to improve the lives of our cacao farmer communities through direct and fair trade. Their vision is to produce a strong brand of fine quality chocolate and chocolate products. To date, they have one (1) community composed of 58 farmers in Brgy. Malabog, Davao City.



The company may be profit-oriented just like any other business, but at its core they also tackle and help provide solutions for social issues. Their efforts have since provided +200% in income for their
community of farmers in Davao.










Their products are as follows:

* 72% Dark Chocolate Single-Origin Davao (85g)
* Flavor Profile: fruity with just a slight hint of bitterness
* 100% locally sourced ingredients, all-natural, hand harvested cacao
