McCormick Flavor Nation Festival

McCormick gave me a weekend of flavor and heavenly treats on their Flavor Nation Festival last May 16, 2015. The event was held in West Block, Bonifacio High Street and was swarmed by food enthusiasts and bloggers alike. The festival was open and free to the public but if you purchased an Event Passport you got yourself a loot bag, a food magazine and passes for few chosen food stalls in the event.

The event was basically a showcase of food, booze and entertainment. Of course, the main attraction was the McCormick products available on the festival. McCormick is already known as a household must-have and is famous for their herbs and spices products. What the festival taught me about McCormick are the countless ways that you can maximize the use of each product on different dishes.

I spent the day taste-testing and basically, as someone who loves eating, the event was almost heavenly for me. It's a different flavor adventure on a different stall to the next, I couldn't explain how excited I was during the event. It wasn't just my tummy which was happy but even my eyes as well. The day was full of colors and scent of deliciousness. My expectation for the festival was set on high and I wasn't disappointed.

All in all, what I can say about the event is that - it's a total success. I had a lot of fun and I know my stomach would agree with me. I strong suggest for McCormick to hold another event next year because their festival was amazing! Aside from learning a lot about their products, I was able to discover new dishes and was entertained by the band and bartender tricks. I'm glad McCormick decided to host such an event and I am hoping that they would do it again so more people will be able to experience it.

Cafe Flafe: Korean Haven

Korean Haven in the City - 꽃 카페

So it was lunch time - my friend and I were so sick of the usual fast food take-outs so we decide to actually venture into 12 noon sunlight and find a new restaurant where we can eat. It just so happened that our area is full of Korean shops - from stores to cafes to ramen houses.

For those who doesn't know me well, I am into all Korean because of KPOP.

I was so excited and we checked out all the shops, but my friend was too picky.

Though it was so humid, we walked along the Korean street and finally came to this small cute-looking shop. Tired and sweaty, I went straight inside along with Ynnah. First thing I noticed was the lovely fake tree and a wall full of customers' feedback about the shop. It was just like being in an cafe shop in Seoul.

We looked around, checking out the place, and found a couple of Koreans eating. I looked over their menu and fell in love with what they have to offer.

My friend ended up ordering Bulgogi and I ordered Bibimbap. We took our seats and was soon joined with another friend who ordered herself a plateful of Gimbap.

The Food - 음식

Okay, I love eating. But with Korean food - I am very sensitive and picky. Korean dishes are usually full of vegetables and not everyone (like my friend) is fond of vegies. Even for myself, I have my hard limit on the greens. That's why a Korean dish have to be really good, fresh and authentic for me to be happy about it. Good thing I wasn't disappointed with the food!

Bibimbap

The Bibimbap serving wasn't as plenty as I expected but when I mixed it up and chewed a mouthful, I was almost crying with glee. The Bibimbap was so flavorful with the right amount of spicy for my preference. The rice was perfect and everything just mixed perfectly. I would give it a 9/10.

Kimchi

Flafe serves free Kimchi and its the one I'm so sensitive with. A good Kimchi should be fresh with the right amount of spices. I even told the server that I will be so happy if they have good Kimchi. And so I took a piece and ate - much to my delight! It's one of the best Kimchi I ate. Everything was fresh and the taste was just right. It isn't that spicy too, because I'm not really good with that. I fell in love with their kimchi that I'm actually giving it a 10/10.

Gimbap

This is my most favorite Korean dish - the Gimbap. This is like the Korean counterpart of Japan's California Maki. I am in love with both, it's just Gimbap is more health friendly because it has a lot more veggies than Maki. The day before we ate in Flafe, we just bought Gimbap from another Korean restaurant. It was okay as well, so Flafe's Gimbap was up for a challenge. And the winner? CAFE FLAFE! When I told you earlier that they have the best Kimchi so far, they also have the best Gimbap that I've ever tasted! I think it's their sauce too but there's something in their Gimbap that's so flavorful I had to groan with happiness every time I put one inside my mouth. This Gimbap also deserves a 10/10.

The Cafe - 카페

Most of the feedback pasted on the Customer Wall in Flafe were written in Hangul (Korean) but the English ones usually had "good ambiance" and "nice place". Well, it's true. It seems that the owner Miss Helena Jung is very hands-on when it comes to her shop. Everything looked like a cafe from Seoul and the cuteness is over-flowing. They even had fresh flowers on tables and pretty designs up on the wall. I immediately fell for the place. I told myself and my friends that I will always come back to this cafe because it's my Korean haven. They have good food and the place is just majestic. It's so cozy, warm and - well - Korean!

I had a little talk with Miss Helena and we even exchanged numbers when I told her I will be featuring her shop in my blog. She's really nice and she said she will be off to Korea for seven days and when she gets back in PH, she will enroll in some Tagalog class to speak more comfortably with her customers. She's really nice and sweet, she even offered to take our group photo.

All in all, Cafe Flafe is an amazing place if you're looking for authentic Korean dishes. It's has this nice, private and quiet ambiance that will surely captivate you. I'm definitely going back to try their Korean Halo-Halo "Bingsu". See you there!

Bili Moko Coffee: A Cup Of Reality

THANK YOU WATTPAD AND PSICOM

Bili Moko Coffee is my first ever completed story in Wattpad. I discovered Wattpad later than necessary and I was amazed of how much power this simple website/application can give to amateur writers and authors. For years now, Wattpad had been giving off great chances for writers to get their works published. PSICOM had been one of the greatest publishing companies that ventures out and publish Wattpad works, making dreams come true.

And my dream is one of them.

THE DREAM

It started back in March of 2014 when I saw the trailer of up-coming movie Diary ng Panget. As a long time James Reid fan, I immediately got hooked into his newly-transformed image along with this adorable and funny new face, Nadine Lustre. Curious what DNP is, I decided to read the book.

I knew about Wattpad before DNP but I didn't know how popular it is here in PH. I was surprised that Taglish stories are definite hits for all ages alike. I was amazed with Diary ng Panget and how Denny made me squirm like a little girl because of Cross and Eya. That's what inspired me to write again.

I started writing stories or novelette back in high school and my usual reader would be my best friend, Abbie. I would write these stories on a notebook and once they're done, Abbie would borrow and read it. We'll talk about the characters and the story and it was nice at least having one reader who appreciates your imagination.

But I stopped writing when life happened.

When I was just a kid, watching all Harry Potter movies and reading all the books, all I ever wanted to be when I grow up is to be an author. But real life doesn't permit that. You either become a teacher, a nurse or any normal self when you grow up. So the dream to be an author was put aside. I gave up on it, as well as writing, when life got too much and you need to earn more money than day-dream.

Then PSICOM happened.

BILI MOKO COFFEE

BMC started as a JaDine fanfic, but during those times - loveteam wars for James was still very hyped that I didn't want my story to get bashed. My inspiration for Alice Madrid is Nadine, but changed it to Baifern (Thailand actress) so the haters wouldn't have anything against her. Plus, the character seems to be quite inapplicable to Nadine's Eya image compared to the mature one she has now. Of course, the guy protagonist is in James' image. The story revolves around a famous celebrity guy and this early-married girl with a twist in her life.

I actually wanted to make a different story.

Most of the stories right now on Wattpad are all about mafia, Casanova, gangsters (though I have nothing against these plots) that I think readers would notice a story out of the norm. So I created the BMC's initial "unusual" plot.

Why BILI MOKO COFFEE? You must have noticed how weird the title is. Well, at first it got nothing to do with the plot. I was done with the first chapter and I usually create a title when I'm done with the entire story but Wattpad wouldn't let you publish without a title. So I was on my computer and turned to my friends behind me.

I was like "Anong magandang title?" out of the blue.

My friends turned to me then one of them said "Bili moko coffee." They were talking about coffee when I asked them and he just went straight with it.

Madali akong kausap. I shrugged and typed in the title. That's basically how BMC started.

PSICOM

It had been a year now since BMC and somehow it already reached a number of people far from my expectation. I am immensely blessed that there are people who took time to read my simple story even though there are already tons of others on Wattpad. The readers would comment on my social media accounts how much they loved James and Allie and the story itself. Nakakataba ng puso, sobra. BMC is like my baby and for people to love them as much as I do - super surreal. They would also add that they wish I could get BMC published too... I never planned, I told them - but I never stopped hoping.

And then one time, a friend told me that PSICOM was looking for new stories to publish.

She gave me the details on how to submit the story and I just went with it. I edited the Wattpad version, put it in WORD format and sent it via email. That's it.

I prayed for that little story to get noticed but, again, I didn't raise my hopes up.

Time went by and I forgot about that submission. It was until one time, PSICOM replied that they received my manuscript. It was just an acknowledgment but still I was thrilled to know they gave it, at least, a chance. I thanked them and went on with my normal life.

Months passed and once more, I forgot about BMC and PSICOM. A lot has happened in my life the past months and it totally took the story off my mind.

Then one day, while I was working alone in the office, I received a text message.

Good afternoon, Biankee. This is the editor in chief of PSICOM. We're interested to publish your story, Bili Mo Ko Coffee. Are you available this week for a meeting?

I didn't read it twice - it immediately sank into my mind.

And then I cried.

I was crying so hard as I dialed Olibs' number. It took her awhile to pick up and I was sobbing and crying while talking to her. I was so happy and shocked. She tried to calm me down  but congratulated me. Even when I  ended the call, I cried for hours. I worked as I cried because of pure happiness. 

This was my dream long forgotten.

No one knows how much I wanted this. Since I was a kid, I always wanted to be an author. And PSICOM fulfilled it. I met with them within the week and finally, it's all happening. I couldn't give out the rest of the details but my book is currently on its process into getting published. I am so excited no word can properly describe it.

I would just like to thank Miss Khuey and PSICOM for giving me this chance and for fulfilling my long-time dream. I will never forget about this for the rest of my life. I am eternally grateful.

Now I can't wait to get my hands on the actually hard copy of BMC.

I know I'll cry again.

Meeting Anthony: Juan Miguel De Guzman

My Anthony

That Thing Called Tadhana

So yesterday, I was able to meet JM De Guzman with my Hukbong JM family after one of his mall tour in Robinsons Place Antipolo. We cheered for him first during his performance then we went to an exclusive dinner for the fan group. The first time I saw JM in person - up on the stage - he's super gwapo talaga. He's very charming and he kept on going to the audience to take selfies with them. There was even one fan that grabbed him full on the face and tried to kiss him. He just smiled and laughed it off then went back to singing. He really sings well! 

First Meeting

We went to Cloud 9 in Antipolo and got there at the same time with JM and his RM. The fan group sat first on a table and waited for him. When he finally got out of the car, he approached us and greeted the members. Then he finally went to me. I was sitting down and he really went over to my spot and offered his hand.

"Hi, I'm JM." 

Those were his first words for me. I took his hand and replied "Hi, I'm Biankee." He gave this huge pearly-white smile and we finally let go. He's soooo good-looking up close, I was stunned! He then greeted everyone else and settled down.

  

Anthony

First impression of Juan Miguel is that he's a very serious person. He goofs around naman when around the usual Hukbo members, but he seems to be a real silent type. Nonetheless he was very game when it was finally selfie time. Nuella (his fan group president) urged me to go first and I just took the chance. They made me sit with him and I asked him if he could hold the phone because my hands were trembling. Juan Miguel took the phone without hesitation and we positioned ourselves.

Then suddenly, he asked "Okay ka lang dyan?" Like, asking if okay lang ba na medyo malayo ako. 

To be honest, I'm a sucker for moreno.

My preference for fangirling is the mestiso/chinito type but my personal preference for guys will always be moreno. That's why JM had this huge impact on me. The moment I sat down beside him and he turned to look at me, I froze. Everyone laughed because I was stuck for a moment! I couldn't help it. It was like I was electrified. Ang tangos ng ilong nya and his smile's so dazzling - I was captivated!

We took the photos and I actually requested the Tadhana pose. He was so game about it even though mukhang pagod na sya from the mall show. After me, the members took turns on the selfies until everyone was done.

Juan Miguel talked to Hukbo members and I just observed because I'm this new comer/outsider into their circle. They're really comfortable and I immediately saw the attachment from members to JM and vice versa. He seems to be a really nice guy and he's really close to his fans.

All in all, I am so happy to meet him for the first time. He's on my Bucket List for 2015 and now I was able to achieve it. When he left, me and the Hukbo went up to this 360 Tower and saw this amazing view. Aside from the amazing moment of meeting Juan Miguel, I also had such a great time with the gang. They're super nice and very funny. I am looking forward to more Hukbo bonding and more Tadhana moments with Juan Miguel. I think it's definitely "meant-to-be".

Meeting Matteo Do: Richard Juan (Hwan)

Richard from the Star

So I was just browsing the net one day and I just came to see an article from GMA about a remake for My Love from The Star with a photo of Marian Rivera beside a guy who looks extremely like Kim Soo Hyun from South Korea. Of course, I fell in love with Steffi Choi and Matteo Do when I watched that KDrama and immediately got curious as to who might be the cast to play the remake. After checking out the article, they just proposed pegs and the one they felt like portraying Matteo Do is Foreignoy finalist Richard Hwan from Hong Kong. Thats where it basically started. 

I checked out Richard "Juan"'s social media accounts and found out that there's already a hype for him even before Foreignoy and his fanbase is continuously growing. He's very good-looking, a Chinito - which is actually the weakness of most audiences here in Phil. After digging deeper into his accounts, I found out that his fans are very close to PH Matteo Do. Having easy access for fans doesnt only mean that he makes time for them but also it encourages and draw new fans into his already-growing fandom. 

After everything I've seen, I decided that I need to meet him.

Hwanderers

Im not sure if this is coincidence but one of Richard's fansclub admins is also a JaDine fan. When I asked where and when I can meet him (because I also have this friend - lets hide her with the name of Denlene - who's so eager to see Richard), Melissa informed me about this event in SM North Edsa. With it being a weekend - and weekend is fangirling day - me and my friend decided to check it out with, of course, some coordination with his very helpful fansclub. 

DC WORLD

Guess what? I was late. LMAO

My friends Denlene and Alannis (both members of WAW) were already there in the venue. When I got there, I immediately saw the small crowd swarming around the SM Youths. Richard was among them. First impression? Gwapo talaga sya. He's the type of guy that you'll immediately notice in a crowd. He's wearing this Green Lantern sort of costume and was standing out with his 5"11 height. While I was looking for my friends, I just watched as girls automatically rove around him and his fellow SM Youth Tommy Esguerra. 

Suddenly though, they started leaving and we just followed them to the Department Store from the Activity Area. Thats where I met Melissa, one of his admins. She's very approachable, friendly and we somehow spazzed about JaDine in between all that Richard-talk. Not for long, she finally introduced us to him. 

Richard Juan

As a fangirl, I'm not the hysterical type. I would usually like to observe an artist from a distance first before I get to meet him. I would somehow base my reading of his personality by how he interacts with fans and all the people who would ask him selfies. Richard was very kind and approachable. People were automatically drawn to him. There were a lot of girls, even boys, who took photos with him and he would talk to them as much as he could. 

When Melissa introduced us, she immedtiately told Richard that we wanted to take photos with him. I instantly pushed Denlene as bait since she's also the one who's head over heels for the guy. I took their picture and I urged Alannis next. When both of them were done, I passed my phone and approached him for the first time. First thing I told him was "Hi Im Biankee."

I watched his reaction as recognition dawned on his face. He greeted "Hi, nice to meet you." and we then posed for the camera. Im not that sure how our conversation went but I also told him how big of a fan Denlene is to him. He seemed delighted to know that and even gave Den a high-fave. He also gave me one. 

Richard was very game with all the selfies we took and sometimes (well, most of the time) he would hold the phone himself. I know how tiring it is for an artist to smile and accommodate a lot of people for pictures but he didnt show how exhausted he might have been. There were fans here and there but he took time and still tried to talk to everyone. 

I was also glad to notice how close he really is to his Hwanderers. I am an admin myself for King's fansclub and I know how important it is for an artist to interact with his closest fans. A good fanbase can keep an artist afloat in this industry. The larger the demand, the greater the opportunities. So I was happy to see how close Richard is to the people who will help him on this field he's currently taking. 

Well, aside from Richard, I also met Tommy Esguerra and he is also a charmer. Girls swooned over him with his cheerful smile and friendly aura. Apart from that, he has this kind of appeal that actually drew girls to him. I must admit that sexy mane must be a factor too. 

DJ MOD's talented kids were also there on location playing the dopest jam that made the afternoon even cooler. I was amazed how these kids got their dad's talent on making music. They looked really comfortable and used to their craft that I couldnt believe these youngsters can be as good as any other international DJ. I guess hard work can definitely beat society's judgmental age restriction. 

The event on SM North Edsa was definitely a blast because of the SM

Youth Ambassadors. It was a total success and they even made it possible for fans to meet their artist and hang out with them even for just a short period of time. I am always amazed how these young people can actually do great things and share happiness with ways of their own. They're not just famous, heck they are always humble about it, they are famous but still such grounded people. I appreciate artist who are very loving to fans. Behind all that support and dedication, an artist's recognition is enough for a loyal fan as reward.

Juan-derful

What do I think of Richard?

One, he is very kind and two, he knows how to handle fan interaction. It is a must for an artist to know how to take care of their fans, how to keep them happy, satisfied and interested. As for Richard, I can see a lot of potential in him. To be honest, current hype about him is because of Kim Soo Hyun but I am confident that at the right time, if he will really pursue this career, he will be able to a name for himself and veer away from the shadow of KSH. I strongly believe that if he will decide to continue this, there will be a lot of work for him. Filipinos are crazy for Chinito guys, and I dont think that this kind of trend will fade any time soon. Richard is already very attractive so all he has to do is maintain the personality. 

I wish he would stay the same, nice and friendly like the first time I met him, grow with his chosen career and take care of the people who had always been there for him from the start. Its very fun to meet the Matteo Do of PH, no scratch that, the Richard Juan of PH. He's not just an eye-candy but someone with a lot of potential. I dunno where or when I am going to be able to see him again but I hope it could be very soon.

THE TRUTH BEHIND JADINE VERSUS KATHNIEL FANWAR

THE BEGINNING

Diary ng Panget (2014) – James Reid and Nadine Lustre suddenly got all the attention because of their sudden success with their first movie from VIVA FILMS. Of course, since they’re this new love team, comparison cannot be avoided. But what made JaDine stood out from the rest and connected them to what seemed to be the most successful love team in PH – KathNiel – is, not only their huge success but also because of Nadine’s resemblance to Kathryn Bernardo.

The so-called fanwar or fandom war started when KN fans began comparing Nadine to Kathryn. First breakout of the fight was when KN fans branded Nadine as a Copy-“KATH” because of their similar facial features. James’ bad boy image in the movie DNP also became a factor of the fights as it was a contrast to Daniel’s bad boy already-made image.

Nadine’s growing fans, plus the new breed JaDines, backlashed to what the KN fans started and thus, the rest is history.

THE ISSUES

After a year since The Beginning, a lot of issues happened between the two fandoms. They weren’t the nicest things, especially the issues were always hyped by the media, and brought shame to both love teams as it went on. From fans threatening, insulting, bashing and disrespecting the artists to fans creating fake accounts to start fights with other local/international fandoms just to put the other into deep shit.

THE CASUALTIES

People have to understand that NOT ALL JaDine and KathNiel fans are fighting with each other. There are fans who are friends with cofans from the other fandom who are frequently dragged into the fanwars. In the world of fangirling, there’s this rule that Fault of one, fault of all. It means that one fault from a fan, the entire fandom will be responsible for it. To be honest, there are groups from both fandoms who were dedicated into defending their artists but would end up getting regular enemies themselves.

Aside from that, there are fans that are just very young to be in social media. Most of the warfreak fans from JD and KN are within the 12-15 age brackets. They are usually, but not all of them, very fearless on fighting thru Twitter or Instagram and wouldn’t think twice on whatever they post. Some fans, older ones, who joined the fanwar were either forced into it by defending their artists – but there were fans who just wanted to get attention and jump into any fight.

They are the kind of fans who would, for example, create a fake fan account, pretend she’s from the opposing fandom – create fights with other fandoms so that the opposing fandom would take the blame. These are the kind of fans who doesn’t think about their idols at all. All they think about is getting attention on social media and proving that they can fight with curses and insults unimaginable. These fans only think of themselves. I don’t think they even consider what these fights would bring to their fandoms or how it would reflect their artists. These fans enjoyed the rush but completely disregarded the other fans that wanted nothing but peace and were eventually pulled into the war as well because of their love for the love team they support.

THE CYCLE

If I can remember correctly, there used to be a JD KN Friendship Day when some of the fans from both fandoms decided to make a truce and call it quits on fighting. But that didn’t last long. Because there would always be fans that would start a fight and bash one of the artists.

It is a nonstop, senseless and dumb fucking cycle

When a fan bashed an artist, the opposing fan would bash the other artist – and thus, the stupidity of it all.

Worst part is, it is quite unavoidable. The lower the hits on bashing, the greater the fight became. That’s why it could never stop unless the entire fandoms would unite into getting peace. As long as there is a fan throwing hate on one of the artists, it would never stop. Because fans are very protective of their artists. Fans are very emotional, passionate and over-protective. Whenever the bashing gets worse, it even worsens the backlash. It is a sad cycle that needs a lot of time to make it stop.

THE SAD TRUTH

Daniel Padilla, Nadine Lustre and James Reid had already given their pleas to the fans to STOP THE FANWARS. All three of them had urged their fans to ignore all the bashing and hates so that it would benefit both fandoms. Everyone is still waiting for Kathryn Bernardo to do the same and ask her fans to stop fighting with the opposing side. Unfortunately, despite the 3/4 request – fans wouldn’t listen.

Why? Because there are immature kids who are too early to be on Social Media and warfreak fans who are inconsiderate of their cofans and the artists they love.

If you ask me, I don’t think peace will come to both fandoms any time soon.

Unless of course, we could see the two love teams hanging out or be really friends so that the fans could follow suit.

Still, I am not giving up hope. I’m still waiting for that factor that could stop the fanwar and make a change. I am hoping for anything that would put a stop into this senseless, endless and mindless war of people who could actually be friends rather than foes.

It might not be achievable in an instant, but I am sincerely hoping that this fandom war would eventually end in the long run.

Good luck to both fandom and to their fans as well.

Screamfest and Uncut

So, yesterday was John "Jang Loyd"'s birthday and the entire team decided to watch a movie to celebrate. Of course, it was my suggestion to watch OUIJA which I had been eyeing since I saw the trailer on Youtube. Though the team was incomplete, we still went on and watched the movie. Before it happened, we already talked about the seating arrangements and such. That's how random we are, sometimes. So this is how it happened.

JOHN, QB, OLIBS, JORRIEL, LYKA, AIZIEL

At first I wasn't able to contain my excitement. I may not be such a scaredy-cat but I tend to scream when surprised. I love horror movies. I mean, the adrenaline and the mystery... who wouldn't love them? I guess the entire team. Haha!

All throughout the movie, we did nothing but scream our lungs out! The movie was okay somehow, Annabelle seemed worse but there were a lot of screaming for Ouija (on our part, though). But it was downright fun! Horror movies are awesome to watch with crazy screaming friends. I thought I might be late for work because we watched the last full show but thank God I didn't. It was the best way to spend JL's birthday. As far as I know, these people are one of the real friends you can get in the fandom.

To be honest, Jadine Land is full of drama. And there are deceitful folks roaming around. Some would betray you, some would leave you hanging, and some would totally forget about you. 

But Team WAW so far proved to me that it is still possible for fangroups to unite and be honest with each other. Since this group was created (ReidersxNaddictsxJadines), I was just a plus one because I am basically a JaDine but also a Certizen, these people had been nothing but real. This is what we need in this fandom -- real people. Okay, let us not be hypocrites and we might have been not-so-real for others in the past, but we are being real right now with each other.

I witnessed firsthand that these people are dedicated to give updates to co-fans and very passionate on supporting our artists. I am blissful that this kind of relationship exists right now. I am thankful that this kind of agreement can happen. 

And while we are on the topic of TEAM WAW, we present:

You can now order TALKBACK AND YOURE DEAD DVDs through Naddicts, Reiders  and We Love Jadine! The copies are already signed by James and Nadine (and if you're lucky enough, there might be some LUCKY 13 signature too!) and it's also discounted! So what are you Talkbackers waiting for? Order your copies now and you will get to watch the UNCUT scenes in the movie!
