Jamba Juice EDSA Shang is Now Blending!

That's right guys! Another branch of my favorite smoothie brand, Jamba Juice, is now open at Shangri-la Plaza East Wing. It's in perfect timing too! The scorching heat of the summer sun makes me crave for ice cold fresh smoothie! 

 I'm so honored and happy to have been invited to the pre-opening event which happened on April 24, 2013.

And what a treat! I was given this medium sized Berry Banana smoothie on the house! I chose this because I haven't tried this variant yet. I was curious why it is one of the bestsellers. 
It was my first time to try Berry Banana smoothie!
After a short break with that yummy smoothie, I was invited by the Jamba Juice Ambassadors for a tour and to blend my own drink! Yay! The person who taught me was Majoy! She is cute and perky! And she volunteered to take photos for me! Yay!

 I never thought that I would be able to wear the Jamba Juice apron and cap! I so love it! It made me feel like a pro. LOL! 
Me... wearing the Jamba Juice black apron and cap!
Majoy asked me to choose a drink on the menu. I was wondering whether I should pick a new drink to try or just go with my usual smoothie. My favorite of all favorites was the limited edition Berry Bitten smoothie, but it was not available on the menu anymore. In the end, I decided that it would be better for me to know how my current favorite, Strawberries Wild, is made. 
So many smoothies so little time...
The  first ingredient in Strawberries Wild is Apple-Banana juice (if I remember correctly). Now I know what those juices at the back of the counter is for.

Adding yogurt was next. I have forgotten what flavor it was... but it was the yogurt at the center of the picture below. It was so creamy! 
Yummy yogurts at Jamba Juice.

Next would be putting fruits! As I have made this smoothie by hand, I realized how fresh the ingredients are. Each fruit is frozen as hard as rock to preserve all the nutrients. As a result, I had a hard time scooping out the strawberries and bananas for my smoothie. 
These fruits are frozen to preserve all the goodness!

But of course! I just had to have a picture of me putting all these ingredients! I hope I get to do this again soon!
LOL! 
The fun part is next! Adding shaved ice! Pros at Jamba Juice toss the ice on air and then catch it! I wanted to try it too! But at first I failed. The kind staff offered me help! Yay! They toss the ice on air while I  catch it. I succeeded at the third try. I could have had put the shaved ice without a toss, but where's the fun in that? 

This is how they do it! Look at that ball of ice on air (near the light bulb).
Then it was time to blend everything! They must have awesome blenders for it to rip all those frozen hard-as-rock fruits!
Look mom! I used a blender!
Finally, I put in the final touches! Majoy taught me the art of transferring the smoothie to a Jamba Juice paper cup, and then the creative way of putting straw. There! It's done!
Putting the straw with a BIG smile!
Yay! I finally got to know how to make my own Strawberries Wild! The Jamba Juice ambassadors gave me a round of applause! Awww... so sweet of them! I would like to give a very special thanks to my partner Majoy! She is great!
Me and Majoy. :) 
My cup of Strawberries Wild, if I were to rate it with my critique self, was average. It's creamier and yummier when the pros make it.  I guess I need more practice, eh.

While enjoying my drink, Ms. Sharon T. Fuentebella, Managing Director of Jamba Juice Philippines, welcomed us to this pre-opening event. She told us about Jamba Juice's mission of bringing healthy food choices to the people. And that as you enjoy each cup, you also know that you are doing something good to your body. I couldn't agree more!

It was nice to see Ms. Fuentebella and the people behind Jamba Juice. I'm so happy that they brought this brand to our country. 

 I explored the store afterwards. It's more than just smoothies! They also offer snacks, Jamba Juice items, and of course... my favorite free photobooth!
Healthy snack options available.

Oh look at those gorgeous items for sale... and that photobooth wall!
What makes Jamba Juice stores a standout among its competitors is the good vibes you get upon entering the store! They have friendly and cheerful staff! I feel so special and happy! Not only do I get to enjoy the drink, I get to have more positive energy from the people too! 

Smiles for me! 
They serve your drink with a smile!
Tasty smoothies, healthy food, free photo booth, and good positive vibes! There are a lot of things to like about Jamba Juice! Visit a store now to experience it! My favorite branches include Bonifacio High Street, Robinson's Midtown, SM Mall of Asia, and now... Shangri-la Plaza East Wing!

The 2019 Starbucks SG Planner

Happy New Year, dear readers! The year 2019 comes with new wishes, new beginnings, and of course, new planners! Yay! I'm excited for all of it. The new year for me means a fresh start for all the failures I've had for the previous year. Yep, I feel ya! 2018 was kinda rough for me, too. But anyways, I'm here to share with you a tool to help us face the days ahead.  I'm sure that some of us take life as it goes along. But there are others, like me, who have a planning personality. And lemme tell ya, it's really frustrating how things don't go according to plan. Most of the time, life doesn't make it go as planned. Ugh... But fret not! Even if life foils everything, that doesn't stop us from using planners! Wheee~ They're cute and inspirational. They give us a sense of "getting our life together" , too. Hahaha~ So for this post, I'm gonna share with you the Starbucks Singapore  2019 planner!  The 2019 Starbucks Singapore Planner

Presenting The Starbucks 2014 Planner

There are a lot of 2014 planners available out there. For this post, let me share with you the 2014 Starbucks Planner. Every December, people are talking about it! The cover and the layouts are something to look forward to, as well. For this year, it came in four colors: yellow, magenta, brown, and black. The black one is the Philippine edition ( hmmm, tempting! ). I'm very much impressed because the cover feels like leather.  I will feature the magenta one. My friend owns this. I already have a planner for 2014, owning another doesn't make sense at all. Hehehe ~ So, I decided to take some photos of it and share what's inside. (^_^) Left: the box, Right: the planner.  The cover is embossed with coffee icons and Starbucks coffee blend logos. I noticed the symbol for their coffee Sumatra and the elephant icon for Kenya. The 2014 Starbucks Planner in magenta I saw the symbol of the Starbucks coffee blend Sumatra embossed on it. Here is a really cute featur

Lee Min Ho Mall Tour: SM Mall of Asia Leg

I still can't believe that it was just two nights ago (November 18, 2012), I saw Lee Min Ho in the flesh! As early as 5:30PM, I was already in SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, joining the fans as we eagerly wait for his arrival. The crowd was very overwhelming. I bet some people waited there two hours earlier than I did!  Lee Min Ho is a South Korean actor. His popular dramas include Boys Over Flowers, City Hunter, and Faith among others. His prowess as an actor and his to-die-for looks are enough to make women go gaga over him -me included!  He is my favorite actor. I love his dramas. In the future, as I gain more skills, I plan to cosplay his characters, especially Johnny from City Hunter. He is the reason why I love Korean products like Etude House . Now, I have another brand to love... and it's a Filipino brand! I'm very happy that Lee Min Ho is the latest endorser of the clothing line, Bench .  Crowds make me uncomfortable. It was my first time to have ever attended
