Once a year, the bloggers and vloggers of the Philippines get to meet and be together in the same room for the E! Bloggers Ball.The theme for this year's Ball is High Shine fashion and I must say that everyone looked so stunning with the shiny garments of their look. Despite the theme of the ball, everyone got to flaunt their style in different gowns and suits that would show their personality. So I decided to put together my top 10 Favorite Lists to show how High Fashion the night was with all the high shine fashion looks! 

Besides Gela Muñoz, the Best Dressed awardee, there were so many other bloggers/vloggers who really stood out with their sparkly dresses and killed their E! Red carpet walk!

I also loved the looks of the awardees of Best Groupie in E! Bloggers Ball 2017, as always they were so resourceful and creative in putting together a look for this year's theme like how they did last year.

Mike Miguel, the Best Dressed for the gents, really followed the high shine fashion theme without forgetting to show his personality with the look (No doubt that he was awarded!). But besides him, there were alot of ladies and gentlemen who really rocked their shiny suits and stole the moment of the girls in sparkly gowns in the E! red carpet.

Perfumes may be so pricey that some people would be okay to stick to just one scent and try a new one when they finish a bottle of their expensive perfume. But if you could have many scents for an affordable price, why not have many perfumes for different moods and occasions right?

Everything is made easy and convenient for us these days, we could have whatever we want in front of our doors easily skipping all the commute or drives to places to get what we are craving for. A group of friends have just craved for buko juice and realized that satisfying coconut cravings is very hard eventhough Philippines is a country known to have abundant supply of coconuts. So they decided to the dirty work of choosing the best coconuts, extracting and bottling the juice, then delivering them to our homes and offices for us. Just Coco may be the usual buko juice but they offer the convenience for city dwellers to avail and enjoy the best drink in the Philippines.

We Filipinos have also been conscious with our health for there are many illnesses that are suddenly appearing these days, and I guess its nice to let you guys know the BENEFITS OF COCONUT WATER:

• Taking a sip before your workout can help BOOST performance, especially when working out first thing in the morning. 
• The PERFECT THIRST quencher after your workout as it has a low carbohydrate content as well as electrolytes. 
• Better way to hydrate. Coconut Water is naturally packed with nutrients, minerals and vitamins so you are getting more from every glass versus artificial juices and soda. 
• Naturally moisturized skin from within. 
• Known to dissolve kidney stones, it also aids in urinary health, digestion and constipation.
• It is THE MIRACLE DRINK for coconut water had more potassium than banana and contains electrolytes that is close to human plasma.

There's a new trending video that already reached more than 3 million views and over 50,000 shares! It was just uploaded last June 20 in Jollibee's official Facebook page but already reached so many people, that even international vloggers like HugKnuckles and Adobo Sandwich have been talking about it! Jollibee has just challenged one of the best dance crew in The Philippines, UPeepz to have a dance challenge with his crew! 

It's so funny how the coach of UPeepz just twitted that he was excited to train again with the crew for a new project and unexpectedly, Jollibee just twitted back to their post. (How I wish Jollibee would see my posts in twitter whenever I'm craving for peach mango pie! HAHAHA) 

Jollibee brought his squad- Twirlie, Hetty, Yum and Popo- to challenge the world champions through old school dance showdown fashion where crews would take turns in showing off their wonderful moves. The UPeepz crew really danced in sync and owned the dance floor in this third installment of the JolliDance Showdown series. 

The two teams grooved to the tune of 80s song "It's Tricky," never giving up a single inch of the dance floor. Yet towards the end, UPeepz shares the stage with Jollibee and his friends in one exciting dance finale that will surely have you guys strutting to the moves as well. 

Here's the epic showdown between the UPeepz and Jollibee dance crew! If it is buffering, you could see this video on Jollibee Philippines Youtube channel, and can easily view it through its official hashtags: #JollibeeDanceShowdown and #JollibeexUPeepz

From their first store in Melbourne and then to the second one in Sydney, they chose to expand in the Philippines for many Filipinos crave for coffee alot. I myself would be guilty of craving for coffee everytime! Plus coffee shops are just my go to place for reviewing, working, or simply meeting up with friends. They started in Ortigas then in Makati, and now they have just opened their first provincial branch here in Pampanga. The timing of their opening is just perfect for me, for I am currently staying in Pampanga and catching up on my blog, and I think I just found my new workplace! They are located at the newly opened hotel, BEST WESTERN Bendix Hotel (you might want to check my blogpost about the newly opened hotel and pack your bags for a staycation with them!), which is in San Fernando, Pampanga. 

I had so much fun sipping a nice cup of coffee and meeting local bloggers of Pampanga during their opening. We were welcomed by the Hotel owner of BEST WESTERN Bendix Hotel,  Sir Rion Patawaran.

And their barista told us the story behind Where's Marcel and all the process of their best tasting coffee. 

We were also invited to watch some coffee art, and surprisingly asked to do it ourselves! (THIS WAS SO EXCITING FOR ME FOR I AM REALLY NOT AN ARTSY PERSON!) 

I got the chance to take a picture of some of the prices of their drinks to give you guys an idea of the price ranges of their products!
