Concert Series: Yamaha & BAMBOO rocked GENSAN

As part of the promotional tour of YAMAHA Motor Philippines, a 3-day promotional activity they have dubbed as YAMAHA FIESTA 2010 were conducted here in the Tuna Capital of the Philippines, where else but in General Santos City. Staged in the newest mall in the city, Robinsons Place, they brought BAMBOO on the second night to give free and wholesome entertainment to the Generals.

Who am I to miss a free and good show? The gang went to Robinsons Place to check the new models of Yamaha Motorcycles and I fell in love with the new Yamaha Scooter "Fino". Might get one of these Authentic looking scooters one of these days.

Now, on with the show. 

As people start to pile up the parking lot of Robinsons Place waiting for the much awaited performace of Bamboo, Yamaha took time in bragging their latest motor models through interesting dance spectacle. Funny contests also liven up the crowd.

 Then came BAMBOO!

As expected shrills conquered the cloudy evening of Saturday when Bamboo Mañalac grabbed the microphone and started the group's performance. Together with the ever delictable Ira Cruz and the rest of the band, BAMBOO made the crowd go gaga as they played their hits like Tatsulok, Noypi, Probinsyana, Hallelujah and more famous Bamboo songs that made the crowd sing along.

The mood became nostalgic, when the group performed tracks during their Rivermaya days. I jumped, danced and sang with the rest of the Generals when Bamboo performed Ulan, Hinahanap-hanap kita and Awit ng Kabataan.

This had been the third time of Bamboo to visit GenSan and they never fail to put the crowd in awe. Always wowing them with their energy and superb performance. 

Thank you Yamaha for bringing Bamboo 

to General Santos City!

A WEEKEND THAT WAS: Blogging Events

My Saturdays and Sundays are usually spent in my crib, facing the monitor most of the time, wasting the nice weather hibernating than going out and mingle. That is not the case with my weekend last August 7 and 8 (Saturday &  Sunday). It was a rare weekend overflowing with laughters and cheers. 

The Ganda Ever Blogversary Bloggers Eyeball Party!


I was waiting for this particular Saturday, even marked it on my calendar a few days back. I am excited for this will be the day when my cyber friends will come to life. Plus, I will be getting my much awaited blog contests prizes from GandaEverSoMuch.com blogversary. Clad in my mini black dress, I was one of the early comers for the party being thrown by the GandaEver Orman for his blog's first year! 

thanks for the warm hug

The party atmosphere was relax, as expected! I was welcomed by a hug by the Uber Gandang Orman Manansala who were rosy red that night. Bloggers, friends and love ones of Ganda Ever cracked jokes, giggled on some naughty jokes of the hosts, chowed down on the sumptous food courtesy of Le Jardin Arnevels , camwhored thru the EZCAPTURE Photobooth and took home prizes from different sponsors on that  memorable Saturday! Everyone left with HAPPY FACES, wishing the night will never end.

Robinsons Bloggers Wifi Party!

But it did not end there. I juggled a Family and a Blogger Day on Sunday! Fresh from last night's party, everyone still cannot get over with what and how the evening that was. With still the blogversary hangover in everyone's system, conversations became animated among everyone. Though, everyone is half way done with their lunch when I came, everyone was still beaming upon seeing me. The happy bloggers became happier with our loot bags from Robinsons Place Gensan. Very generous of them :)

That weekend with the bloggers made me realize, never to miss a single Blog Activity ever!

LOVING ROBINSONS

September 30 of last year was a beginning of a new shopping lifestyle for the economically improving city of the Generals.With the growing numbers of migrating residents, the opening of Robinsons in Gensan was in perfect timing. Shopping enthusiast from Gensan and other neighboring areas welcomed the new addition to their shopping destinations with an ear to ear smiles, so eager to have a taste of the popular "Robinsons Malls Experience".

The 32,700 square meters Mall caters to everyone. Young and Not-so- Young. Students and Professionals. Paid employees and Businessmen, and to every different clientele you can think of. 

It is not hard to fall in love with any Robinsons Malls in this side of the planet, Robinsons Place Gensan most especially. I can say they are the most GENEROUS Mall in General Santos City. They are the only mall in the city which offers ABSOLUTELY FREE WIFI ACCESS in almost every corner of the mall. (You can get better wifi access at the FOOD COURT, AL FRESCO and the line of RESTAURANTS in the mall). In this time of new age technology, where you can easily connect to the whole wide world with a simple thumbing of your internet-able mobile phones, wifi access inside a mall  is the "honey to the bees" for our multi-tasking shoppers. Robinsons Place also brought quiet a number of celebrities, artists and famous characters to General Santos City and everyone is invited. No need to purchase THIS and THAT to get closer with their idols. "Just be there when it happens" is always the motto, proving that MAS MAPAGBIGAY kami dito!

Robinsons Malls are consistent and genuine with their SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. In their special ways, the management makes an extra effort in getting acquainted with the community. They hold Catholic Mass regularly, initiate Exercise Sessions to promote healthy lifestyle, and open its doors for different local offices and organizations to hold events/activities in their ATRIUM. Aside from those, what I love about Robinsons is the fact that they are trying their best to keep safe the environment. Their Think BIG. Think GREEN project is being practiced extensively. Starting from the building construction to the EcoSavers Bag, Robinsons reminds the Generals once in a while that even big establishments such as Robinsons is not just all about the financial profit. Indeed, "MAS MABAIT KAMI SA LAHAT DITO"

Robinsons Place Gensan knows how to TAKE CARE of their costumers. Putting their foot in the costumers' shoes,  Robinsons Place Gensan management see to it that we shoppers are well taken care of. Consistent temperature of the Cooling System, Fast, Efficient and Friendly sales people, availably Clean Comfort Rooms, and sufficient fixtures to sit-on everytime your legs tire-up. Therefore, "MAS MAALAGA KAMI DITO"

Robinsons Place Gensan's Number 1 FAN

Robinsons Place Gensan is also KIDS HAVEN which made them an A PLUS for my family because of our youngest sister! The ATRIUM with the QUANTUM toys(FERRIS WHEEL, CRAWLING ANIMALS and TOOTER TRAIN) is like a chocolate factory for the kids and kids at heart. With 3D Movie readily available courtesy of Robinsons Movie World, don't you wish you can live inside the mall? It is definitely "MAS MASAYA at BONGGA dito!

Aside from those facts, having Robinsons Place around made the Malling Business more competitive in General Santos City. Alarmed with their existence and sudden claim to fame, other malls also made improvements as well. Improvements or None, mas MAGANDA pa rin dito sa Robinsons Place Gensan!
