NomNom Foodie Club Christmas party with Kraft Eden Cheese's "Sarap ng Pasko"

Christmas Party is one of the most awaited part of the holiday season. This is where everybody prepares and shares their gifts and blessings for their friends and love ones, or even for someone you didn't know at all. Sharing something with other bloggers is one of the best part of the NomNom Foodie Club Christmas Party that happened in Kraft Eden's Sarap ng Pasko Booth in Mall of Asia last December 1.




The said event is the first Christmas Party that I have attended. It was also participated by NomNom Foodie Club members and some winners from Boy Kuripot's Blog.



The event was headed by Jonel Uy, NomNomClub.com and letsgosago.net (travel blog). He gave a short introduction of NomNomclub.com's highlights of 2010 and plans for 2011 while having our dinner prepared by Kraft Eden Cheese. It was a cheesy meal.:)




Awarding of Best in Christmas Attire, Best Gift and Best "Sarap ng Pasko" Blog ( where I was one of the 3 finalists ) was also given during the event. And of course it would not be called a Christmas Party if there is no traditional exchange gifts, or the so-called Monito Monita where the required gift should cost atleast P50. A raffle of different prizes was also conducted where everybody didnt go home empty-handed. The grand prize was sponsored by Samsung.





The event was co-sponsored by Geiser Maclang.

I really had fun mingling with other bloggers and meeting Boy Kuripot (Jeff Siy) personally, the one whom I should thank for after joining and winning some contests he posted in his blog. NomNom Foodie Club Christmas Party was very successful. Kudos to Jonel Uy.

Winners of Muzikademy 2010

Happiest amongst all the music campers, Marla Planas, Jephone Petil and Slash and Burn Band emerged victorious in Muzikademy held last November 26-27 at Fontana Hot Spring and Leisure Parks in Freeport Zone, Pampanga.


Marla Planas, got the 3rd spot after singing her original composition entitled "What Can I Do" and singing a cover song "I Still believe In Loving You by Sarah Geronimo". She was born in Isabela and currently a 4th year student in New Era University taking up Bachelor of Science in Business Administration major in Banking and Finance. According to her, she started composing song during her sophomore year. She already had 18 original compositions. Marla's main subject for her composition is about friendship, love, and inspirational. Her winning piece "What Can I Do" is the most requested song by her friends and cousins, that's the reason why she chose it as her entry in the Muzikademy. She is a big fan of Sarah Geronimo.



The Second Placer is Jephone Petil., a 26-year old call center agent in Makati made the audience sing along with him during the performance night with the very catching lyrics of his composition "Bahala Na Si Batman". He took up Networking In AMA-Las Piñas. According to Jephone, he composed his winning piece last March of this year. He loves to listen to the radio.




Slash and Burn Band was hailed the as the very first Grand Winner after their electrifying rock and roll performance of their original "Itaas Mo!" and their cover song "Long Rock and Roll by Matley Crue". "Last but not the least",that's how I will describe this group. Being the last performers in the competition, they made the audience shout and wake up as they were the last to perform at around 2AM in the morning. The band started in 2003. Band members are Gerald "Agie "Martinez (vocals), Martin Jose and Jan Clyde Polintan (guitar), Aaron Kevin Alocillo (bass), Gilbert "Burn" Martinez (drums). Agie and Burn are the remaining original member of the band while the others are new members.
