Out and About: Phoenix 2012 Business Partners Appreciation Night

 Phoenix Petroleum Philippines, Inc. celebrated a successful 2012 as the leading independent oil company with a night of gratitude, fun and celebration last December 8, 2012 at SMX Convention Center Davao. Dealers, distributors, suppliers, commercial clients, and business partners in their best Filipiniana inspired suits and gowns attended the said event. 2012 was a big year for Phoenix. This year we were more dynamic, more active, and more aggressive. (...and you are probably raising one brow, and say: what's up with the very serious note) (trip ko lang!) Despite my lousy introductory blah blah blahs, I beam of hope that you will have fun browsing the photos, which I managed to gather during the actual event.

Scanned copies of the souvenir photos 

SMX Center was transformed into a seemingly elegant mansions during the Spanish era; Footmen were wearing katsa and the typical suits that you probably have read in the novel Noli Me Tangere.

 

 I am with the best escort.

Beau is wearing a Barong Tagalog designed by Niko Oxales of KC Couture. The shade of which, perfectly fits my purse.

A wonderful view from the back. That headpiece was freaking heavy!

THE COMPANY doing what they do best: entertaining the crowd.

 

TMQ is blatantly displaying how much she loves the gown.

 See you at the red carpet lovies!

Thank you for stopping by and accept my apologies for the minimal updates... J t'aime ya'll! ♥

Across the finish line or on the trails... GIRLS GET DIRTY TOO!

You will never find the words dirt bike, power sports, drag racing in my lexicon. And never mind if it is almost 3:00 AM because my mind need to be freed of these thoughts. And I swear I will never ever stand under the scorching heat of the sun in order to watch a male specie trade his life just to be the master of motocross.  (I know I said "never" a lot. My apologies.) Motocross is such a pointless act of suicide! I hate these types of sports but  as the cliche goes, "the more you hate, the more you love." Today, I woke up and found myself in the borderline of like and love.. you dig me? I woke up early just to watch a Motocross event! Did I just say that? and yeah, I must admit that I've watched a couple other tournaments before. This makes sentence number two out of order. The thing is my interest for the sport is slowly progressing. God forbids if I transform into an off-road vixen one day. 


I have some photos to share that were taken at a Motocross event sponsored by Phoenix Petroleum Phil. for the Araw ng Sta. Cruz celebration. I am not riding any bike this time.. But I promise you the next time I post a blog regarding extreme sports I will be the one making all the kings bite the dust! Har har... But yeah I am serious, I will learn how to ride a bike, a honda CRF150R perhaps and try to maneuver it in a terrain. (added bucketlist and I will offer a novena to the holy archangel that he will protect all my limbs and body parts as I try to enter into the world of race track) but for now let's leave all the daydreaming aside and appreciate the beauty of the sport. (long sentence! please excuse the manic)

I've never seen enough dust in my whole life until this day

The messy girl after the event... sweat + dust= liquid foundation

PS

At the event I saw a good friend who will be entering a world much more dangerous than extreme sports: MARRIAGE. Haha! I wish her luck though and lots of kids!!! ;)
