Are you tired of the usual balloon acts by clowns during children’s parties? Would you like to see balloon versions of your favorite cartoon characters? Would you like to see the Best Balloon Artist in Manila?
If you answered YES to all the questions, then you’ve got to see Jiggles the Balloon Lady. I saw her in the last Expo MOM and was fascinated by her Balloon Show.
This video is the official entry of an OAP friend, Katrina from JWT, who joined a competition sponsored by Oxfam International and Cannes Lion. It is a film that tells people to sign a petition to get world leaders to attend the UN Summit for Climate Change at Copenhagen in December.
The next generation of the Hi-5 cast for Series 11 is now in Manila. It is composed of Lauren Brant, Tim Maddren, Fely Irvine, Casey Burgess, and Steve Nicholson. Hi-5 is a children’s pop musical show, which, through singing and dancing, explores different places, people, animals and technology that are important for children to know. Aidan loves the Hi-5 show because of the bouncy music and animated dances of the Hi-5 cast.
Aidan, Joshua and I got food poisoning (we suspect) last Sunday. We are recovering from it and I would like to share with you some facts and strategies on how to deal with it. When we visited the Makati Medical Center Emergency Room, I think most of the complaints that night were about upset stomachs or cases of food poisoning. I believe we got the same treatment, advice and prescription.
We were hesitant at first to visit Taumbayan (near the Kamuning/Tomas Morato area) because we thought it was a bar that’s only open at night. Curiosity won out though, so we brought Aidan and Joshua along to check it out. We were pleased with our Taumbayan experience that we wished there’s a tambayan like this in the Makati area. It reminded me of the original Trellis along McKinley road.
Spiral is a multi-cuisine restaurant with the biggest buffet in town. It has several live cooking stations and boasts the widest array of dishes. At the center of the restaurant is the spiral staircase connected to the main lobby, accented by the spiral art centerpiece.
Li Li Dimsum Buffet (P1,342 net) in Hyatt is one of the best Cantonese dimsum buffets in Manila. It’s just like the ones you can enjoy in Hong Kong. The restaurant is named after Li Li, a famous member of the Hongkong elite. Two of the private rooms are named after her daughters Fei Fei and Bai Ling. The menu is created by five highly skilled master chefs from Hong Kong to ensure the culinary quality and authenticity that Hyatt is known for.
The Family Crossover Brunch Buffet is the best buffet deal in town every Sunday. You get to try the best Thai, Japanese and Italian cuisine in Makati for P1,450 net from Dusit Thani’s specialty restaurants – Benjarong, Umu, and Tosca, respectively. The continental buffet in Basix restaurant is also included but it takes a supporting role, providing the Peking duck, prime ribs, shawarma and other common dishes one would expect in a hotel buffet.

Circles in Makati Shangri-La is best known for pioneering the Interactive Theatre Kitchen, where the chefs get to interact with the people and accommodate customized food requests with a smile.
