Master of Art (MOA): Timepieces with a Soul

Master of Art is a special breed of timepieces with a soul.  According to its main designer Frances Kay, she walked the street of Geneva to search for timepieces and noticed that they all offered the usual designs that for her represented mundane things.  This inspired the young lady to design watches of her own based on life moments depicted by different art elements. 

Frances whose name means "the free one" believes in shaping ones life.  Although we cannot control every circumstance in our lives, we can choose how we can react to it.  Thus, life is an art where everyone is an artist in shaping one's destiny.  

I was fortunate to have met Frances Kay herself as she shared her story and inspiration for her art pieces.  I also believe in her concept of life.  As a blogger, I would like to believe that everything I write is my very own masterpiece.  What I see, write, express and compose moments of my life with my post that is forever etched in the world wide web archives is purely mine.  The photos I take and share on Instagram is like that too.  When I reread my posts or I review my Instagram photos, memories I  want to remember rush to my mind.  I can personally say the same with things and objects we purchase and wear like timepieces.  When a person is gifted a watch, every time he/she is glances upon it for the time, he/she is reminded of that person and of the moment.  When one choses a watch, it symbolizes himself/herself and he is reminded of that as he/she looks upon it.

Aside from Frances Kay, Master of Art also collaborates with other designers such as World-Renowned Fashion Designer Francis Libiran.  I am a proud owner of the Evantris 51 mm watch of the Francis Libiran Collection.

Evantris 51 mm

Look at how sleek the design is?  It also comes with a 3-year warranty.

The design gives off a sophisticated yet synergistic look.  The date is easy to see.

It is made of high-grade stainless steel and water resistant up to 100 meters.

Even the hypoallergenic rubber strap has a unique pattern.  The buckle has a brand logo too.

The black and rose gold combination is just perfect.  Because it is made of hard plastic, it is like yet durable for every day use.

Shakey's Scallop Primo Launch: Pool Party at Y2 Residence

Last week, I got invited to a pool party where Shakey's was to unleash their all-new summer surprise.

I have to admit, this is probably my first time to attend a pool party so I was excited for both the party and the summer surprise!

While waiting for the product to arrive, I enjoyed the pool party with these cute pizza floaters.

Check out the pool of Y2 Residences and Hotel.  I actually thought it was just shallow.  To my surprise, it was 5 feet deep.

Swimming always makes me hungry so by the time the product arrived, I was even more ecstatic.  

So what's in store for the summer?

Can you guess?

Scallop Primo Pizza

Tada!  Packed with flavors of the sea, it's the all new Scallop Primo Pizza.  This is available Dine in, Carry Out and Delivery in all Shakey’s restaurants nationwide for a limited period March 1 to May 31 only.  

Scallop Primo Pizza

It's a combination of succulent scallops, thinly shredded crab sticks, aged cheddar cheese, fresh herbs of basil and parsley, and dash of chili flake.
 

Scallop Primo Pizza

Because I'm a scallop-lover, I was so thrilled with this innovation.  I never thought I'd see my favorite as a pizza topping.  The price is reasonable too!  Price starts at 294 php for a regular thin crust and 344 php for hand tossed.

Ahead Tutorial and Review: Money Back Guarantee

It has been a very long time since I had undertaken my college entrance exams.  Yet, it was such an important milestone in my life that I can vividly recall every moment of it.  Ahead Tutorial and Review understands how important it is which is why it is now offering a money back guarantee to assure both the student and their parents.

Not only is Ahead Tutorial and Review, the leading review center bolstered with advance research programs and tutors composed of top graduates from top universities and multiple awards, it is now confident enough to give you back your money if you don't pass your entrance exam.

During my days, I was not aware of Ahead Tutorial and Review.  It was only 3 years later when my cousin had enrolled therein to pass the DCAT when I heard of it.  She said it is very popular at her school (ICA).  She and all of her classmates who reviews with Ahead passed DCAT.

But, I think what every parent is thinking is whether or not it is worth the money?  Especially since it is quite common for a child to take several college entrance exams to keep their options open.  Sometimes, you are even forced to pick a college based on the course availability.  I recall taking UPCAT, DCAT and UST entrance exam because of different courses.  I took UPCAT for journalism, DCAT for accountancy and organizational communication and UST for accountancy.  Maybe I was too young them not to be pressured by what's at stake so I didn't take it seriously.

I didn't realize that you can only take the entrance exam once.  Or, that the people you will meet there will mould and influence you as a  person.  Had I known then, I would certainly appreciate a money back guarantee to grant me confidence and peace of mind for my parents. 

Coming from a small Chinese School in Manila, studying in DLSU has been a big leap for me.  I was never studious but being surrounded by the most intelligent and diligent students really pushed me to be one.  My seatmates became my best friends for life.  Although we didn't pursue being CPAs as a profession after we passed our CPA exam, we are still grateful for the training and network we gained in college.  My bestfriend C is now a businessman, E is a successful lawyer in a top law firm and H is a soon to be lawyer while working in his family business. 

Aside from the money back guarantee, I also found the trainings offered by Ahead Tutorial and Review (such as the mind mapping and speed reading) not just helpful and applicable for the entrance exam but also later on in life.  So it you're interest to secure your future, check out

Citadines Millenium Ortigas Manila: First Look and My First Paint and Sip Experience

Last Saturday, I was invited to have a first look at Citadines (CDC) Millenium Ortigas Manila and their Paint + Sip activity.

Citadines (CDC) Millenium Ortigas Manila is located at Lot 4 Block 1, Ortigas Avenue Ortigas Center.  The location is very prominent since it is at the very heart of the busy ortigas district.  It is just across Robinsons Galleria. 

What I found interesting about Citadines (CDC) Millenium Ortigas Manila is that it is a 32-storey building with mixed-used development: 96 units of Residential Condominium (starts at P 110K/sqm) and 290 units of serviced apartments (starts at P 115K/sqm) managed by The Ascott Limited.  The Serviced Apartments comes with  meeting rooms with business service, self-service launderette and fitness center.   The Ascott Limited will also facilitate the common areas.

There are 4 types of units available for the Residential Condominiums occupying the 25th to 30th floor: Studio, 1-Bedroom, 1-Bedroom Deluxe, 1-Bedroom Premiere and 2-Bedroom.  While the Serviced Apartments occupying the 4th to 24th floors has 5 types of units with an addition of 3-Bedroom. The latter also has a few upgrades like having a synthetic granite counter top instead of synthetic stone counter top and a carpet flooring for the master bedroom.

As you can see, the units are already fully furnished with their uniform interiors.  It comes with a living and dining area, kitchen, bedrooms and toilet and bath.

The walls are polish finished while the floors are matte finish so it's not slippery when wet.

Doesn't this make you feel like you're in a five-star hotel?

Among the common areas is the Resident's Lounge...

which overlooks the Infinity Swimming Pool

and it also has a good few of Ortigas Avenue.

Paint + Sip

I have to admit that I was lured in by their Paint + Sip activity because it is the first time for me.

The instruction was pretty simple.   Start with the lightest color so I drew the outline with the lightest color I could mix and then just shaded as fast as I cold because I was running out of time.  I wish I could have allocated more time for this activity but I was late for my own birthday party. =(  It was a great experience but I bet I can try harder next time.

So it was twice the learning and twice the fun for me.
