Giordano Monsters University Fair

Hey Coffeeholics! If you have been following my instagram (follow me! @kai_sensei) and twitter, then you'd see these awesome super fun photo of me and my niece Sofi having a blast!

Bigay na bigay kami ni Sofi dito! hehe!

Yes my dears, that's coz yesterday, we were able to "enroll" 

to the Giordano's Monsters University Fair at Trinoma.

Giordano Philippines is inviting you to get a taste of what it’s like to participate in Monsters University’s Freshman Fair when it opens its wrought iron gates. 

Yes they have mock gates! Nice noh?

Experience being in the world’s best scare university, don Mike Wazikowski’s shoes and attend Giordano’s Monsters University Fair on June 29-30 at the TriNoma Activity Center and July 6-7 at the SM Mega Mall A Showcase Area.  Fun and freebies await you. 
No tuition fee required!  Entrance is free for all!

Take a stroll around the booth area with friends and family.  Participate in various games and activities that will test your brain, brawn and scare-ability.  Win special prizes and display that Monsters University pride!

 

That's Sofi having her photo taken. 

Us bloggers got a chance to have our own Monsters University ID!

Also the lanyards (ID lace) and baller ID were sooo cool. Feeling student talaga! hihi!

At the Giordano Monsters University Fair, several fun-filled games are in store for you. 

The activity center is divided into several areas. Each area has a specific "course" where you can learn and have fun! So check out this first stop.

WELCOME TO THE SCREAMOLOGY SECTION!

  

Here in the Screamology section, your speed is tested! Test your mental speed with a playtime of 2Fuse at the first gaming station called Screamology. Yeah here, you can scream out your frustration as you try to beat that buzzer beater to get the top score. Combine numbers with similar colored cubes in 60 seconds. I have this game on my android app so I was pretty confident. LOL. Sadly you can't use the boosters.. wahaha. So my highest score was 43,000. T__T boo. 

 

Fellow blogger Arnie Villanueva (thats her on the left) showed her stuff and easily bagged the top score with a grand total of 80,000 plus. Ang taray! Look at her intense concentration sa game. hehe. Blogger Ana Gonzales on the right is learning the game! Go Ana go!

WELCOME TO THE FIELD OF SCREAMS!

Are you into sports? Wanna test your athletic ability? THEN you definitely shouldn't miss out trying out THE FIELD OF SCREAMS. This second gaming station allows sports buffs to size up their fitness and agility with XBOX Kinect Sports.  Find out if you can make it into the varsity team or if you need more training.

 Some of the "sports" available where boxing, volleyball, table tennis, group exercise, and probably a whole lot more! I tried out the table tennis. Basically its because its the best sport that I know!

Grabe super fun! It really felt like I was playing the real thing! I found myself making the proper posture and form in table tennis and nakaka "drive" or "smash" pa ko! hehe. Pinagpawisan pa ko nyan take note! haha. I think its an awesome way to exercise. o__o now I want an Xbox Kinect in my home. 

 LOL. Yes that's me "calibrating" for the table tennis game. Super fun coz I WON! BWAHAHAHA! 11 - 7 ang score. YAY! :)

Have a photo taken with Mike Wazowski! 

WELCOME TO THE SCHOOL OF RAWR!!!

If you are into music, then the third gaming station called School of Rawr, is perfect for you.  Amp up the volume and explore your musical prowess with Guitar Hero. Compete for the highest score and earn bragging rights as Monsters University’s primo rock star.

 

Its shopgirl Jen's SOFIA on the drums! :)

And that's me messing up GUITAR HERO. LOL! Grabe all I did was LAUGH so hard and pathetically tried to "play" the guitar in sync with the blinking buttons on the screen. LOL. 

Yes sorry naman. Super fail. I really am not musically inclined - especially with instruments.

Please don't ask me my score. Its not worth mentioning. HAHAHA!

WELCOME TO MONSTER 101!

Want a more pensive, subdued setting?  Train your brain with Twinoo at Monster 101, the fair’s fourth gaming booth.  Sit back, and let logic and art come together in this classroom-type station.  Put those thinking caps on and show everybody why it’s cool to be a nerd. 

 I'm a bit competitive by nature but this is Math AND Arts. 

A game where you have to use both mental powers at the same time. KALOKA! But fun! :)

 

Pahinga muna! hehe. A moment when the TEACHER became a STUDENT. Hehe.

(You do know that I'm a teacher right? Hence the "sensei" on my handle? lol)

Of course besides these areas, there are other cool areas to check out like the 

FREEDOM WALL where you can post a note there. 

 I <3 GIORDANO! Monsters University ROX! Yep that's my note. :)

ALSO, they have a face and body paint area. SUPER COOL! You can have some of the characters from Monsters University painted on you or some other cute and cool stuff.

Fellow blogger Marj had Boo painted on her face. CUTE!

Well me of course I had a PURPLE BUTTERFLY painted on my arm. 

Super cute noh? hihihi!

Me and Sofi showing off our arm tats! (Hello Kitty for Sofi!) Chos! Hehehe!

Ito Na Glee for Coca-Cola PressCon

Hey Coffeeholics! If you have been following my twitter and instagram (@kai_sensei) then you would know that I was at the presscon for the #ItoNa #GleeforCoke at the Manila Peninsula. 

Let's welcome the GLEE CAST here in the Philippines!

 It is a known fact that Filipinos are natural born singers. Regardless of the genre and artist, give a Filipino a microphone and we instantly transform into our own versions of musical gods and goddesses. Karaoke mics aside, when it comes to celebrations and parties, we are first in line. That goes without saying, best enjoyed with an ice-cold Coca-Cola.

 

Becca Tobin and Melissa Benoist

B.U.M. My Reality My Story - Bloggers Meetup

http://bumequipment.com.ph

FINALLY, the school year is over! And now, I get to sit back, relax, and update my life online. Last April 8, 2011, Friday, my cousin Jen invited me to go with her to the BUM Equipment 2nd Blogger's Night @ Dulcinea, T. Morato. The event was supposed to start at 7 pm. But since I came from work (my last official day of duty before my summer break from school!), I arrived late.. around 8pm. Thank goodness I didn't arrive too late and I was able to have a fun time there to meet up with some bloggers, view BUM's new clothes, and have a grand time taking pictures!


So as it was my first "bloggers" meetup and event meetup too, I was really excited. I didn't know what to expect. It was great that my cousin and Rache were there so I didn't feel too uncomfortable. Later on, I was able to meet up with another fellow blogger, Bec and we had a cool time getting to know her as well. As for the event, it was really great! They setup a place where you can take pics of yourself with the BUM logo at the back. 

Then I registered and was given this really cool giveaway bag with awesome goodies (thanks so much BUM... the black bag is my favorite.. a teacher can never have too many bags.. hahaha). 

Vote for JEN!

We were also given a chance to "vote" for our favorite blogger and of course, who else would I vote for then my cousin. She also won a prize for being one of the top 3 "most voted" blogger.

Then Rache and I checked out the clothes. 

B.U.M. had a lot of statement shirts. Definitely for those who want to express themselves--especially for the Emo people out there. I know, I used to be a bit "emo" too! LOL. Here are some of the shirts that I found interesting and struck a chord with me.

Hmmm, I guess the shirt brings back strong memories of me when I was still in High School! Hehehe.. I'm not gonna elaborate on that. Oh the sweet, poignant, and now something to laugh over memories. :p

When I saw this shirt, it really spoke to me.. and I remembered the times when I felt empty and broken. Now, I'm Healed and Restored and I can now look back at those times with a smile on my face because I know that God can use a situation to make you into a better and stronger person.

Anyway I had a lot of fun and hopefully I will be able to do things like this again during my summer vacation. Thank you BUM, Jen, Rache, and Bec for the awesome time last Friday. For me, it was indeed an event to remember!

Rache, Bec, Jen, and ME!
