A new coffee and milk tea shop opened last August at The Peak of Gaisano Mall of Davao. Bean Leaf offers a variety of coffee and flavored milk teas that everyone will surely love. We were invited at the grand opening last August 15 and we tasted their delectable food and drinks.
To start the Grand Opening Ceremonies, a barista showed his skills in flairtending and Mr. BeanLeaf came out to dance for us. So cool and cute!Ā
The cutting of the ribbon was facilitated by the BeanLeaf Master Franchisee for Davao Mr. Jim Sawers and BeanLeaf CEO Randy Salamat. It was also graced by Councilor Louie Bonguyan and Ms. Sweet representing Gaisano Mall.
BeanLeaf's tagline isĀ āExperience our Differenceā. BeanLeaf invites people to taste their food and drinks, to experience a difference. BeanLeaf prides itself as a standout among other cafes and mil tea shops.
NUTELLA OVERLOAD - I ordered this because the staff told me this is one of their best-sellers. It is very āchocolatey.ā. Itās like Iām sipping Nutella and dark chocolate at the same time. Too sweet.
LEMON FRUIT TEA - I havenāt tried this one but my friend Claudine Chua said,Ā āTo tell you honestly, I loved it. I have been craving for it ever since.ā (Photo credit: FashionVenom.com)
CITRUS MALUNGGAY FRUIT TEA - When my co-bloggers went to their food tasting event before the opening day, Clea Banal shared that this became their favorite saying, ā Our favourite was Citrus with Malunggay. It's refreshing and a must drink during summer. Doesn't taste Malunggay or Moringa at all! Perfect sinker would be Nata de Coco. It has green tea so it's healthy.ā (Photo credit: CleaBanal.com)
We also tried theirĀ CAKES IN A JAR. It has three flavors - Black Forest, Salted Caramel, and Cookies and Cream. My favorites were the Black Forest and Salted Caramel.
We had a great time at the grand opening and soon after the shop became crowded with customers. Experience the difference by visiting Bean Leaf at the Peak of Gaisano Mall of Davao.

First and foremost, I just want to say that I was really amazed when I learned about the newest ZenFones from ASUS. We were invited to join the ASUS ZenFest, a gathering of Zenfone fans at Rekado Davao. The ASUS team introduced the newest Zenfones in the market and all of us were truly impressed and we cannot wait to get a hands-on experience with these gadgets.
ZenFone 2 Laser
It comes with a 5.0 and 5.5 inch, 1280 x 720 HD Resolution and an Anti-Scratch Corning Gorilla Glass 4. It has a storage of 16GB ROM and it supports Micro SD Card. Front camera - 5MP and Rear camera - 13MP. Full HD Video recording 1080p @ 30fps capture. Dual Micro SIM wit Android 5.0 Lollipop. More detailed specs here.
Zenfone 2 Deluxe
One of my favorites because of itās sleek design and back case. It has a 5.5 inch display and an Anti-Scratch Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Storage is at 128 GB MLC ROM and supports MicroSD up to 64GB. Front camera - 5MP and Rear camera - 13MP. This has the PixelMaster and PixelEnhancing Technology that will make your photos even brighter and clear. Itās a DUAL SIM phone and it charge up to 60% capacity in 39 minutes! And as Iāve said, this has a unique back cover because it has a chameleon type of color. It has an illusion of changing colors. You see blue, then you see maroon, violet, etc. More specs here.
Zenfone Selfie
I guess this was the most promising phone and all of us got excited to try the Zenfone Selfie. It has a 5.5 inch display and an Anti Scratch Corning Glass 4.32GB ROM storage and supports micro SDās. The best part is thatĀ it has a 13MP front and rear camera! How cool is that?! It has low light mode, back light mode, macro focus, manual mode, and super resolution mode.

This year marks the 25 beautiful years of The Belo Medical Group in the science of beauty business. From a humble 40 sq meter clinic, they now have 11 clinics all over the country. They just recently opened 2 new branches, one in Davao which is a first in Mindanao, and one in SM North EDSA. So to celebrate another milestone, Belo goes festive last August 10-12 in Abreeza Mall Davao and made this a memorable one.
The Belo Medical Group in Davao opened its doors last February 2015 and since then, they received positive support from their existing and new customers all over Mindanao. The Davaoenos really waited for a long time for Belo to put a clinic here in the city. Now, we donāt need to take a flight to Manila or Cebu to experience the magic of Belo.
I was so lucky to be part of their grandest press launch at SEDA Hotel Davao last August 12. It was hosted by Cristalle Belo-Henares, with their endorsers, Margie Moran Floirendo and Piolo Pascual.
We had a great lunch and we had fun creating these headdresses organized by GatchiĀ & GatchiĀ Events.
Dr. Vicki Belo shared to us her humble beginnings and memorable experiences in putting up a big beauty business. Piolo and Margie also shared their stories and why they are still with the brand they love for how many years.
Ofcourse, I had to take a picture with us together to know who is the most handsome guy. Well, it looks like I win. Hahaha!
After the press launch, we head down to the ribbon cutting event at the Belo clinic located at the 2nd floor of Abreeza Mall. Next to it is the grand mall show with Piolo serenading the audience.
It was indeed a festive day for Belo. The continued growth and expansion is a testament to Beloās vision of making the Philippines the most beautiful country in the world, one person at a time.

Going out with friends on a Monday night couldnāt get any better! Especially if youāll get to enjoy good food, karaoke, and massage in one place. I was surprised to be invited to K1 Family KTV and Spa to try their food and services. At first, there were no slots available. But then Ate Ria texted me to come and join them. I met Caryl Lim, the owner of K1 at their restaurant and was able to try some of their food.
Ms. Caryl Lim brought us to their KTV rooms. She showed us the different rooms that are good for 4, 8, and 12 people. They served us a blue margarita to freshen up our throat so we can sing in tune (well, that was a joke), and some desserts.
We also had a chance to use the Kinect. It is a motion-sensing game that allows gamers to use hand gestures and spoken commands while playing the game. We had a dancing game which we really did enjoy. We danced in groups and in pairs to different dance music.
After dancing, itās time for some relaxation at their spa. While waiting for our turn, they served us this yummy pizza!
While finishing our dinner earlier, the staff asked us to pick a spa service to be given to us after the activities. The remaining services were Facial (Diamond Peeling) and Radio Frequency Therapy. Since I just had my facial a few days back, I chose the Radio Frequency Therapy. I was a bit concerned when the staff told me that I should not drink or eat an hour before the therapy. So I was limiting my food and drinks after the dinner. But then we had karaoke and Kinect, so it took me 2 hours to prepare for the RF Therapy.
First, the staff instructed me to take off my clothes, except the undies. Then she let me wear a loose shorts and measured my tummy. I layed on the bed and asked her if itās really painful. She said it is painful, but not really. So imagine my face when she said that! Haha! I felt like I am up for a major surgery. Well, she gave me more info about how it works and it calmed me down a bit. Then she wiped a cream or a lotion on my tummy before she used the vacuum. It was hot and itās like someone is pinching your stomach. you can feel it sucking your stomach and yes it hurts, but youāll get used to it. Youāll see the results after and I was amazed. It took 5 inches on my waist and you can really feel that it tightened your skin.
This experience was really one for the books. I felt like Iām an artistaĀ that I went through this type of procedure. Hahaha!
I would like to thank Ms. Caryl Lim for the warm accommodation and to the staff of K1. Eventually, I went back 2 days after and brought my barkadaĀ so they can enjoy teir services too. It was really fun!

The 1st Microsoft Authorized Reseller Store in Mindanao opened itās door last August 1 at the NCCC Mall of Davao. Iām glad to be one of the few selected bloggers to attend this event. They had on-the-day discounts for all attendees. The first 30 customers who purchased a Lumia 930, 830, 730, 640 XL and 540 got a FREE Nokia X and a choice among the Coloud Headet, Coloud Speaker, or a Power Bank. Then, the next 50 customers got P1,000 discount on their Lumia purchase.
It was a very good day to buy your new Microsoft device. With all of their promos and discounts, I really pushed my mom to buy at the store right away. Though these promos were only available during the opening day, the store will be selling Microsoft devices everyday during the mall hours.

ABREEZA FASHION FORUM: Meet ASNTM Monika Sta. Maria
I never imagined to meetĀ a Filipino representative from Next Top Model franchise. So when Abreeza invited me to join their new Fashion Forum, I never hesitated to say NO. Why? Because their guest was Monika Sta. Maria, the last Filipina standing in the latest season of Asiaās Next Top Model. She talked about her career in modeling and what she learned from the reality show.
Monika is the 1st runner up in AsNTM Season 3 next to Ayu Gani from Indonesia. She was a volleyball player from De La Salle University and a psychology graduate. She also won the Century Tuna SuperBods last 2012.Ā
During the Fashion Forum, she shared to us her experiences when she auditioned for the show. She actually auditioned for the showās Cycle 2 but she didnāt make the cut. So when she heard that there will be another audition, she really came in first and proved to the panel of judges that she is really serious in joining the next cycle. She successfully made the cut along with Amanda Chan and a DavaoeƱa Franchesca Lagua.
A lot of fans were able to ask her questions during the interview. And of course, I stand up and asked a very simple question. Fanboying here. LOL!
āYou were a volleyball player in DLSU, right? Then, what made you decide to do modeling?ā
āOh, actually I am into modeling na talagaĀ and then I want to do something in school so, I became a volleyball player. Kaya lang, magkaiba kasi ang diet ng isang volleyball player compared saĀ pagiging model. Vigorous kasi ang training namin. So I really have to choose.**ā
We also had a chance to take pictures with her on stage.
A selfie is mandatory. So here she is.
Sheās very tall and skinny but just right. She really loves all of her fans and never lets them down if they asked for a selfie.
Thanks to Ms. Cheekie Albay and Abreeza Ayala Mall for inviting me again in this monthly convergence of fashion and lifestyle.
The Davaoās most anticipated and exciting bazaar is back on its 5th year! The GreatĀ Kadayawan Trade Fair and Bazaar 2015 is now officially open at Davao Convention and Trade Center located at F. Torres St. Itās a gathering of DavaoeƱo businessmen, food shop owners, and entrepreneurs Ā to market and sell their food and products. I got the chance to visit some shops and booths at the bazaar with my fellow Davao Bloggers yesterday. Here are some of them that I would recommend you to visit.
GET ORGANIZED
I love this shop! Iāve been eyeing to buy organizers for my travels and even for my not-so-organized stuff at home and in the office. Well, maybe they are the answer to my not-so-organized life. #Hugot. They sell unique, high-functionality, trendy, and affordable organizers, bags, and travel packs for a clutter-free lifestyle. They are also selling in all CHIMES Specialty Stores and NCCC Supermarket.
Planning for another OOTD? Visit their booth inside the convention center and get cool imported items such as dresses and even shoes. For guys, bring your girlfriend here so she can shop for new outfits. Donāt worry, they are on sale!
They started selling dim sum from the same trade fair last 2013 and after that, they were the talk of the town. They serve the best siomai and siopao right now and I just want to take home some.
They are located beside Caitlyn'sĀ so itās not hard to find them. They serve flavored lemonades in a unique sling pack. You can choose from 4 flavors - Green Apple, Kiwi, Passion Fruit, and Lychee. You must try the Passion Fruit flavor!
KAIāS ARTISAN CHOCOLATES
I must say, this made me happy the whole night! You got to love chocolates and you got to love KAIāS. Why? Itās home-made and itās made from scratch! My eyes were gleaming when I had a chance to taste all of their chocolates in one seating. The best one for me was the Matcha Chocolate.
They are the newest in town, but they surprised us with what they have to offer. They serve burgers with 100% pure beef and itās also 100% delicious! You got to order their Bacon burger or their Homemade Bacon and Mozzarella Sandwich.
The Great Kadayawan Trade Fair and Bazaar 2015 will be open for the public until AUGUST 16, Sunday. It's FREE ADMISSION! Here's the schedule: AUGUST 14-15 2PM-12MN and AUGUST 16 12NN-9PM. Enjoy shopping and dining! Thanks for dropping by!
SM Lanang Premier presented their latest denim collections from the SM Youth Brands last July 18 in the #DenimCitizens Fashion Show. I was invited to check out the latest denim wear, showcased on the runway by Davaoās top models and the SM Youth Ambassadors.
There was an ensemble of denim pieces from Tee Culture, Markus, and a lot more. I never thought you can wear denim on denim without looking like your Aunt from the 80ā²s. Haha! Well, I gotta admit, Iām really not good in style.
SM Lanang Premier was struckĀ by teens and young adults because they know that the guests of the fashion show were the SM Youth Ambassadors, LA Aguinaldo, and Richard Juan. Richard was one of the finalists of Eat Bulagaās Foreignoy and LA is the AXE Gold Man and the newest Asia Model Star.
Weāre glad that we had a chance to meet the Ambassadors and the head stylist of the show, Mr. Bjorn Medina.
Rush down to SM Lanang Premier to get the latest denim trends. All of their denim wear is located at the Ground Floor near the entrance of SM Department Store.

I believe that every food tasting is a blessing! Haha! So I was really glad to be one of the Davao bloggers to taste Primoās newest dishes last June 18. PRIMO has been operating in Davao since March 16, 2012. A group of friends who loves food decided to build this restaurant where everybody can hang out, eat good food, and have fun. PRIMO means ācousinā in Spanish, or a āclose relativeā. In English, it means āfirst in excellence, quality, or valueā.
When I visited PRIMO for the first time last 2013, I only had a drink and believe me, I can still remember how good their mojito is! So I am excited to taste their food for the first time. Mr. Alex Tiaoqui accommodated us and introduced their dishes one at a time.
TUNA SASHIMI DIABLO (P165) - Itās not that sour, but it was really spicy. It also tastes āmilkyā for me. I like the combination of the crunchy wonton chips and the spicy tuna sashimi. Itās like an āAsian Tuna Tacos?ā haha!
CHEESE STICK FLAUTAS (P150) - I was hesitant to try it first because when I heardĀ āflautasā, I imagined a big and very spicy green bell pepper inside this Lumpia wrapper. But when I tried it, it only has a small amount of green bell pepper and it tastes good! Itās more cheesy than spicy and the roasted tomato salsa is really good!
SIZZLING BEEF TENDON (P220) -Ā I am not a fan of beef tendons or ālitidā, but their version of this dish is a āthumbs upā. It has a thick gravy with garlic. I highly recommend this as a main dish served with rice.
MUSHROOMS AND CHORIZO (P185) - Sauteed chorizo, button mushrooms, and caramelized onions in Olive oil and garlic. The chorizo was too salty for me, but the mushrooms balanced the taste.
PESTO LINGUINI (P155) - I was surprised that their version of pesto pasta is not oily, which is a good thing. I like the saltiness of the parmesan cheese and the crunch of toasted cashew nuts. This might be a new favorite for pesto pasta lovers.
BACON MUSHROOM MELT (P255) - I really wanted to eat the whole burger by myself, but I had to share it to my fellow bloggers. Haha! The beef patty was delicious and the bacon was crispy and tasty. The french fries was seasoned just right. Iāll think of eating this when Iām in a bad mood and I want to eat something to de-stress myself. Haha!
SHRIMP DIAVEL PASTA (P250) - I love seafood pasta and I must say that this one was cooked to perfection. The spicy gambas were not overcooked andĀ the marinara sauce gave me theĀ ākiligā feeling. Haha! Definitely, a must try!
SEAFOOD SUPREMO PIZZA (P360) Ā - This is one of my favoriteĀ dishes too! Itās a thin crust pizza with shrimp, anchovies, garlic, onion, and mozzarella! You can really tell that there's anchovies because of the strong smell and taste. I couldnāt ask for more!
GRILLED CHEESE, TOMATO, AND BASIL (P140) - They combined the rich flavors of cheddar cheese and basil sandwiched in a toasted wheat bread. The smell is strong, but it adds flavour in every bite. This is a perfect meriendaĀ served with an iced tea.
CLASSIC GOLDEN WAFFLE AND MANGO JUBILEEĀ WAFFLE (P110/P170) - Both waffles are yummy. But the best waffle goes to the Mango Jubilee. Vanilla Ice cream + Mango + Waffle = best dessert ever!
If you would ask me what are myĀ top 3 dishes, that would be the Shrimp Diavel Pasta, Seafood Supremo Pizza, and the Mango Jubilee Waffle. Per order is good for 2 persons. So if you are going out in large groups, you might have to order more. The price range is Php150-Php360. They also serve different beers and cocktails.
We would like to thank Ms. Karla SingsonĀ for inviting us and for organizing the food tasting event. Thanks again to Sir Alex for the warm accommodation.Ā

Thank you so much for visiting! I'd be happy if you'll leave a comment below. Have a great day!
Getting fit is not my thing. Really. Trust me. You can definitely tell when you see me. But, fun runs are cool. Itās like jogging but with a twist.Ā Everyone is wearing the same top. You run the same route at the same time. You can run with your friends or family. You get to win cool prizes. And well, thereās usually a free egg and a banana. I can share more cool stuff about fun runs, but itās better experienced than read about.
I joined the COLOR MANILA RUN at the Davao Crocodile Park Grounds last May 24 and whew, it was not a typical fun run! Itās colorful and itās a first in the city!
I must say that this was one of the most organized fun runs Iāve joined. I left my Brother Ink drawstring bag with all of my important stuff at the baggage counter without any worries.
For P650, I got all of these cool stuff.
Of course, we need to warm up before any fun run. It was too early to flaunt my dancing skills, but I had to do it to avoid injuries while running. So I joined, probably, half of the routine. Hahaha!
The run started at 5:20 AM for 10K runners, 5:30 AM for the 6K runners, and 6 AM for the 3K runners. I joined the 6K category to show that Iām humble to my friends who canāt run 10K. Just kidding haha!
BTW, when we started to run, we ran through this area where a huge fire truck was splashing cold water to all the runners! Unfortunately, I have no picture of it because my phone will be soaked in water if I tried. It was fun but come on⦠wala pa akong ligo noh! Haha!
We ran through 3 color stations. There wereĀ some people throwing colored powders at you. Like literally throw it to your face but, it was really fun.
Finally, I reached the 6K U-Turn somewhere in Ma-a. Haggard na, oh!
I finished the race after an hour and I got a balloon and a Brother pillow! Yaaay!
I met my officemates Davey and Ms. Queck after the race. Theyāre all covered with colored powder, too! We claimed our colored packets for the ceremony so we could all end the raceĀ with flying colors. Literally. :)
The day could not have gotten any better, but it did when the DJ played some party music! Who wouldāve thought we would have a rave party so early in the morning?!
The countdown began and we throw all the colored powder to the air!
The people behind this are crazy!Ā In a good way of course. They totally brought theĀ āfunā in the run. Me and my friends enjoyed this colorful event. Thanks to Brother Ink and Color Manila Run Team for bringing this colorful event here in Davao.

I attended the Davao Bloggers Society Acquaintance Party last May 16 at the White House Fusion Cuisine and Wine Lounge. It was my first time to attend to an event this big with my fellow Davao bloggers. I was so excited to join the party when they announced it online, that I have to let go of the other big parties outside the city. This is one of the DBS events that I get to meet other bloggers and mingle with them.
What really amazed me is that we have a lot of sponsors for the party. We had a raffle and I won these prizes! Isn't it AMAZING?
The White House is the best place to spend the night of fun with the DBS bloggers. It's very classy and it has good ambience. The food was delicious too! Kudos to our organizers!
We also had fun taking pictures from our sponsor, Fujifilm Instax. Everyone had a chance to bring home a photo from the party.
Desserts overload from Lachi's, Anniepie and Alor's! These are to die for! Thanks! Plus free Krispy Kreme donuts for everyone! Yay!!!
We were divided into 4 tables. In our table, I had Mommy Ann, Olive, Timothy, Claudine, and Julie. We had chitchats and shared fun stories.
I also met the newest members of DBS. They are all good looking! I'm the odd one out! LOL!
The crowd went crazy when we played charades! The room was filled with laughter even our sponsors had fun watching us play.
Move over Marvin and Jolina, or LizQuen, or Kathniel... Angel and Anton is the next loveteam of the year! Hahaha! Peace guys!
Our head Mr. Andrew Abella Dela Serna, announced that SMART Communications is now an official partner of Davao Bloggers Society! Ms. Christine Liwag was also happy to announce the partnership.
It was indeed a memorable event for me. I am so honored to be part of this amazing blogging community. I joined DBS some time in November last year and they accepted me wholeheartedly. I was able to meet new people, do something different and exciting, and learn from them. From travel, lifestyle, and food blogging, this community helped me to become a better blogger. Even if you are a newbie or a professional blogger, you are always welcomed.
Cheers to all members of Davao Bloggers Society and thanks to all our sponsors and organizers!

I brought my cousins, nephews, and niece to Jollitown Funtasy Land last May 9 at the SMX Convention Center inside SM Lanang Premier. Jollibee Funtasy Land caravan made its way to Davao City to give joy to all kids and kids at heart. They prepared a lot of fun games and activities for all young Davaenos!
Thereās the Rainbow Slide and Jollibee House for kids to slide and bounce.
Kids also sang to their heartās content and made their own albums at the Twirlieās Music Studio.
The little guests even got up close and personal with their favorite Jollitown friends and joined them with their show-stopping dance moves.
Kids also loved hanging out at the Dingdangdong Clingers and get lost at the Enchanted Maze. There's a tablet play area too!
Funtasy Land visitor and their families also purchased Jollitown souvenirs to add to their collection. Guests were entitled also to a raffle entry and the kids took home a loot bag containing Jollibee goodies.

It was my first to attend a Fashion Forum in Abreeza and I was really looking forward to this for the longest time! One of my inspirations in blogging, David Guison took the spotlight in this monthly gathering.
David introduced one of Americaās most iconic fashion brands, The Original Penguin and he presented the newest Spring 2015 Collection with styling tips and tricks for men.
He also helped some of our guests to look dapper with pieces from the Spring 2015 Collection.
The guests were able to ask questions after the presentation which is very helpful to all of us. (Photo credit to Abreeza)
David stayed with us after the talk for a meet and greet with his Dabawenyo fans and readers.
It was a chance of a lifetime. I was on cloud nine ā #fanboymoment LOL
Feeling close... Idol eh! :p
We were invited to go to the Original Penguin store to check out their newest designs and we also received gifts from them! How thoughtful!
