Last December 4, I was able to do one of the things in my wish list and that is join a bazaar! I was into it just for fun and the experience, not really for the money. What better place to do so than at the newly-opened Mercato Centrale weekend food market at the Fort slash Bonifacio Global City area. Fellow bloggers Noemi Dado and Melo Villareal arrived at the appointed time which was 6 a.m.! Shame on me because I organized our food bloggers' participation and I arrived one hour late, jeje. Noemi and Melo were really well-prepared, complete with food-themed ... Continue Reading...
Premium Brands Midnight Sale on December 15-17, 2010
In my bid to visit major bazaars in the metro, I've put this on my calendar: The Premium Brands Midnight Sale happening on December 15 to 17 at the Megatent Events Venue along Meralco Avenue, Pasig City, from 12 noon to 12 midnight. The good thing is that this bazaar is all happening for a good cause. The main proponent is JCI-Manila or more popularly known as the Manila Jaycees. They will use proceeds from the sale to fund their noteworthy projects for the community such as the Alay Lakad, the Ten Outstanding Young Policemen (TOYP), the Blessed Theresa of Calcutta ...

Noel bazaar @ World Trade Center shopping finds
Unlike the free entrance policy of the Cuenca bazaar, my family had to shell out P50 each to enter the Noel Discovery bazaar at the World Trade Center in Manila. I grumbled a bit. I mean, why do we have to shell out money to be able to patronize something that's earning from the tenants already? I just hope the fees they collected go to charity as the place was just packed with people on the day of our visit. And unlike the Cuenca bazaar which was in a remote location, I thought the Noel bazaar had less security. The WTC being in the boundary of Manila, Makati and ... Continue Reading...
Cuenca (St. James the Great) bazaar in Ayala Alabang: shopping finds
It was my first time at the St. James the Great bazaar (better known by its shorter name Cuenca bazaar) yesterday and I had a blast. Now I know what makes this event a famous pitstop of shopaholics from all over the metro even with its out-of-the-way location. I thought it was just across Alabang Town Center. Turns out you really have to drive all the way through the posh neighborhood of Ayala Alabang Village until you reach a far end, the so-called covered court of Cuenca St. Parking can be a pain because of the volume of visitors. But I must say I liked the ... Continue Reading...
Aranaz launches Mercato bag for Rags2Riches
The Mercato bag, a stylized market basket designed by Amina Aranaz-Alunan was recently launched at Members Only in the Fort. What makes this bag significant is that they were made by the poor women of Payatas under the Rags2Riches social business enterprise. I've seen a similar bag design before by Rajo Laurel and I was certainly impressed with the way they have turned scraps and recycled materials into a thing of beauty. Photo shows some of Manila's most stylish women modelling the Mercato bag after an afternoon tea party: (from left) Amanda Griffin-Jacob, ... Continue Reading...
