Three Tips for Lighting Up Your Patio

Lighting up your outdoor patio is essential if you're looking forward to entertaining guests outside, but it can be a challenge to know which lights to purchase. While weatherproof lights are definitely an obvious must, you'll also want to look into what other differences exist between these fixtures.'

Setup and Power
One of the biggest things that you'll want to look into when comparing lights that can be used for your patio is how they're installed. Some lights run on solar power, allowing you to simply open the packaging and place them wherever you like in your yard. If the lights need to be plugged in, you'll need to get creative with the cords so that they're hidden and in a safe position.

Styles Available
Keeping in mind the other furnishing and decorations on your patio is a good idea in order to keep the patio looking great. A lot of people make the mistake of purchasing lights that are a bad fit in comparison to the rest of the details in their patio. For example, you should stick with tropical lighting if you already have this theme present.

Amount of Light
While some lights are meant to be staked on the ground and produce only a small amount of light, others are meant to be much more bright. Comparing your options will help you find the best fit.
After you make a decision regarding which lights are best for your patio, go ahead and order today your favorite fixtures.

SM City Pampanga: #PampangaIsMyRunway Finale Fashion Show

SM City Pampanga is the Philippines' longest mall.  But, the mall doesn't just boast of its length, SM City Pampanga also highlights that Kapampangan's are very fashionable with its regular monthly #PampangaIsMyRunway fashion show.

For the year-ender finale, they made it more special with 100 models (some of which are winners of the Pampanga is My Runway Photocontest) to showcase various brands including Me&U, Lhasa, Apple & Eve,  Mags, Cotton On and Uniqlo.

I was able to witness it for myself and i swear I have never encountered a fashion.runway as agile and lively as this!  The show had a cool introduction with the remixes by DJ Ace Ramos at the SM City Pampanga Annex 3.  Soon, 100 beautiful and handsome models entered the scene gleefully rallying placards of either " #PampangaIsMyRunway" or the brands they represent.

 Models for each brand collection had their turn to walk on the ramp.

The shoppers, supporters and fashion enthusiasts all gathered around cheering wildly, photographing non-stop and admiring the style and colors of the fashion rally.

What make's this fashion show unique is that it parades around 4 parts of the mall: Annex 3, Main Mall Atrium, Annex 1 and Cyberzone with a band drumming at the back.

There was also a dance number that was performed upon reaching the Main Mall Atrium.

Uniqlo Collection

The audience are scattered all over the mall.  Some chose to watch from the top floors, others waited by the 4 stations.  While, most chose to join in on the joyful rally.

It was amazing to watch as you can feel the rush and synergy of the models and the tide of crowd flowing through the long mall.  I found myself immersed in the celebration as I too felt the rush of excitement as I participated and became part of it.

Mags Collection

Cotton On Collection

It went on for two rounds.  The first round ended at the Cyberzone and the second round was in reverse.
