SM Cinema Free Movie Day (Registration Story)

After i heard the news about the SM Cinema Free Movie Day i plan it because i know what will be the result afterwards the registration is open.

the tickets

Last August 25 2012, there's a CLEAR Dream Match and actually the tickets for that is for FREE . The procedure is to reserve a seat and print the ticket and present it to the ticket booth in the day of the match. When i first time reserved for the ticket, "Disappointed" is my feeling, the app is breakdown because of Technical Problems, the admin said, "watch out for the next few days for the comeback of the app" so I'm very active to visit the app everyday to check that the app is now ok because i want to watch this match between Team PHIL and Team James. after a few days, I got one! :D because of this i also invited my friends to reserved quickly also before it's too late. Here are some photos:

The Game

The Players

So i will expect for this FREE Event is in Negative side that it will breakdown after the registration is open because of thousand of people who want this and this is first time in our country.

My Plan is to wake up early and register, this is Good plan! so i do it and it is also a hardtime not because the error error like that but the movie that you will choice and the branch and time so i finalize it after half hour. STEP-UP REVOLUTION 4 SM NORTH EDSA 1:00PM DECEMBER 8.

Thanks SM Cinema and E-Plus for this

After several hours, i visited the app and "HI5" for me that my expectation come true. Not happy but also sad for the other people that did'nt get movie voucher in earlier time. In my research, the App started at 1:00am and the problems (like mistaken names, etc.) started after few minutes that the app is open. Some 'Internal Server Errors' started at 9:00am and it is fully breakdown at 12:00 noon

and E-Plus and SM Cinema officially annouced

but you can find the word in the picture that "CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES" so know what to do just like i do in the CLEAR DREAM MATCH. Be Calm guys and wait to have a Movie Voucher at SM Cinema Free Movie Day! :)

Today, you can now exchange the movie voucher at your own cinema.

2012 Belen Lighting @ The Araneta Center

For 20 years now, the Araneta Center has put up the Belen, a traditional Filipino Christmas icon that depicts the birth of Jesus Christ. This life-sized depiction of the Nativity at the Farmers Market, which serves as a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas, has come to be a yearly local attraction, and Christmas at the Araneta Center is not the same without the Belen.

Following the Giant Christmas Tree lighting last November 9, the Araneta Center continues the tradition of ushering in the holiday season with the annual Belen Lighting ceremony.

This year’s Belen Lighting ceremony was held on November 16 at Farmers Market. Present to witness the solemn ceremony were Quezon City Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte, Quezon City 3^rd District Congressman Jorge Banal, Barangay Socorro Barangay Chairman Joey de Guzman, Quezon City 3^rd District Councilor Pinggoy Lagumbay, and Quezon City Market Department OIC Noel T. Soliven.

The Christmas cheer continues at the Araneta Center after the Belen lighting, so be sure to check out all the holiday sights, sounds, treats, and activities lined up for the whole family from November until January 2013:

Buy all things Christmassy at the Parolan bazaar in Farmers Garden; get your fill of fresh-cooked puto bumbong and bibingka, plus other mouth-watering treats at the Christmas food fair in Quadrant C (Giant Christmas Tree area); and be dazzled with the showcase of brightly-lit electric capiz floats also in Quadrant C. Get great bargains as well during the Araneta Center Pre-Christmas Sale on November 23 to December 2.

Be serenaded by the different chorale groups as they sing your favorite Christmas carols every weekend from November 17 to December 23 during the Chorale Competition; marvel at the fireworks display every Friday and Saturday all throughout the holidays; and get your kids to meet Santa at Gateway Mall, Ali Mall, and farmers Plaza every Friday to Sunday from December 1 to 25.

The British are coming to Manila, as well as your favorite Disney Princesses and Heroes, this December! Catch Sir Elton John and Sting as they stage back-to-back concerts at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on December 8 and 9. And on December 25 to January 3, see your favorite Disney princesses Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Aurora, Snow White, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Tiana, and their equally dashing princes in Disney on Ice: Princesses and Heroes! Log on to www.ticketnet.com.ph or call (02) 911 5555 for tickets.

Thanks for The Araneta Center for inviting me in this Great Event, but there's a bad thing, My camera that i will used to capture photos is lowbat :( so i have no photos for the lighting of Belen, but i can share to you what happened in this event.

There's a Special Mass and Blessing of the Belen, after that, exactly 6pm the Belen light up! with the help of some VIP Guests so after the lighting, the Fireworks started with the singing of the Choirs of some tagalog christmas song. The event was fun! Christmas in Araneta Center! :D

I will do my best to get photos of the 2012 Belen Lighting so i go again that i'am ready! :)

Experience @ Sumosam (Birthday of my Bestfriend)

"Top Fans" Promo of The Araneta Center
First, thank you sa The Araneta Center sa pagbigay ng prize na GC para sa Hearty Treat for Two @ Sumosam Restaurant.
Binigyan ko ng pansin ito sa bestfriend ko na Birthday ngayon pero ginamit ko na ang GC kahapon para mas advance! and We are 3 Persons dahil nagyaya pa ako ng isa pang kasama. Sa SumoSam, Nakita namin na Complete Lahat sa Food, Facilities and the Employees, parang mga Kaibigan mo lang sila sa pagseservice sa amin, and also yung mga other na kasabay namin kumain. First time ko at ang mga kasama ko kumain sa Sumosam kaya umabot kami ng 30 minutes sa pagpili ng Menu #Seryoso. :p The food we choice is "Happy Birthday" Noodles, Oyster and Fries, Banana Split, and 2 Shakes. Sa loob ng oras na kumakain kami nakakuwa sa akin ng atensyon sa isang malaking window na kita ang Gen. Roxas Ave., Farmers Plaza and the GIANT Christmas Tree, hindi lang yun kundi nakita ko sa saktong oras na 5:30pm eh biglang naglight ang Christmas Tree, nalaman ko lang na testing ito ng pinatay ang lights after 30 min. Binigyan kami ng Card na isulat namin dun ang aming feedbacks/comments/suggestions at isa sa mga nilagay namin eh "We learned how to used chopsticks" :p hahahahaha nakakahiya pero totoo naman na yun ang naging comment namin dahil yun ang isa sa mga experienced namin :p Marami pang nangyari pero di ko na mailalahad dito. Overall "Goodtime" ang Nov. 7 namin na kumain sa Sumosam. Thanks again The Araneta Center and Sumosam.
'Till next time :)
