DEVANT + Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron Bring Greatness in One

lifestyle, products, Avengers: Age of Ultron, announcementI am sure you have all seen the latest Avengers installment. I, on the other hand, am still in the process of convincing the little one to go see the film with me. All my efforts were in vain, so far, as the little guy deemed the film too scary for his delicate eyes to see. It was a far cry from his all-too-excited mood last month when we saw the film’s trailer for the first time. It is rather a difficult task to convince a 5-year old to do something he was not up to so I guess I had to think of new plans to see this much talked-about movie.

Meanwhile, TV brand DEVANT partners with Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron to bring the DEVANT’s TV Collection. Read all about this exciting partnership in the press release below:

The Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2015 Screening Party

Nickelodeon, lifestyle, events

I was invited to the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards {KCAs} 2015 Screening Party and I readily said yes because I am sure the little man will enjoy it. He loves a number of Nick characters, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Ben10, and I am sure he will be thrilled to see them there

The KCAs 2015 Screening Party was held at the Resorts World Manila Cinema in Pasay City. We arrived early and had ample time to check out the booths set-up outside. I also managed to take a snap a photo of the little man with Tobot, another Nick character.

They opened the doors to Cinema 2 and ushered the people in, not too long after. We were also handed swag bags that contained a Gundam Toy, an Origami set, a Nick tee, lanyards, and a set of colored pens.  Popcorn and bottled iced tea were also waiting for each attendees on their seats. We failed to have our photos taken at the photo booth outside so I was delighted to see the mobile photobooth roving around the cinema while we wait for the screening to start. I just wish the little man smiled even just a little in our photo!  :-))

A short program was held before the Kids Choice Awards screening began. There were fun games for children and grown-ups to participate in, as well as exciting raffles and prizes. But what excited the little man the most was when 4 familiar green characters were called to perform ~ the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! The pizza-loving dudes’ performance was followed by a song-and-dance number by Sponge Bob and Patrick Star and the little ones in the crowed cheered even more.

The screening of the annual Kids’ Choice Awards started shortly. This year’s KCAs was hosted by Nick Jonas and was held at the Forum in Inglewood, California and even when we were miles away, it is great to be let in on the fun and have a taste of this slimey-riffic party! Everyone was excited to find out who will take home the iconic orange blimp this time around. Local Teen King, Daniel Padilla, was also nominated and even though he failed to grab one of those orange blimps, he managed to win the Slime-A-Star Award, beating nominees from New Zealand, Brazil, and United Kingdom.

A star-studded occasion, this years KCAs was joined in by popular performers and celebrities, including Jennifer Hudson, Iggy Azalea and 5 Seconds of Summer. I am also glad to find out that some of our favorites won, including Emma Stone for The Amazing Spiderman and Angelina Jolie for Maleficent. I love both actresses’ performance in their respective films and I thought they are most deserving to win.

We may not have managed to stay until the credits because the little guy was already fidgety in his seat and asked for us to go home that we had no choice but give in, but we totally enjoyed our very first Kids’ Choice Awards Screening Party. Thanks for having us and until next year!

A forest made up of 90 larger than life light flowers, Olivia d’Aboville’s Giant Dandelions installation is a brilliant masterpiece where people can freely walk through and take photos. 

The spirit of caring that embodies Christmas is the inspiration behind the plastic Giant Dandelions installation recently unveiled at the Sky Park of SM Aura Premier in Taguig City. Famed textile artist, Olivia d’Aboville, thought there is nothing nobler that caring not just for loved ones, but for the one thing that has nurture us the most in more ways than we can imagine ~ the environment.

For their holiday launch, SM Aura Premiere partnered with famed French-Filipina textile artist Olivia d’Aboville, as the mall held a light show showcasing the artist’s art installation called Giant Dandelions. 

Oliva, a young French-Filipino artist based in Manila, is a staunch supporter of environmental efforts. She specializes in tapestry and textile structures, as well as adapting various techniques to create her very own woven forms and recycling had already been a major component of her pieces even while she was still a design student in Paris. She is drawn to mass-produced objects and has found a creative way of manipulating and recycling plastic spoons, water bottles, cocktail stirrers, and a whole lot of other materials create new work. She is also mostly known for ocean inspired works and is very sensitive to light, fluidity, and movement.

When asked about the nature of her art, Olivia shared, “I do a lot of recycled art and then progressively incorporate different materials to my work. Plastic is really an element that I like working with, and also the fact that I am a textile designer makes everything I do have some sort of textile technique within the piece.”
