A New Chapter in Philippine History: Yehey! Goes Public

11:24:00 AM 0 Comments


After 14 years, Yehey.com has finally went public last October 18, 2012 at the Philippine Stock Exchange. It was my first time to go to the floor of the Philippine Stock Exchange. I have always imagined it as a place with rowdy people because of how movies portray it. However, it is actually quite peaceful. The people are just on their phones talking in a low voice. The only voice I heard that morning is the voice of Issa Litton who was the host of the ceremony.

The host: Issa Litton
Vantage Equities Inc President Wilson Sy said in his speech that a digital marketing company has never been listed in the Philippines before. It is truly a historical moment not just for Yehey! that day but also for the Philippines.

Yehey! General Manager Jay Arellano introduced "Yehey! Bloggregator" which will put all Filipino bloggers under one roof. It is like a directory of blogs to help the Filipinos look for topics and articles that would interest them at the same time, it is an area where Filipino bloggers get their exposure & their articles will be read.

When the speeches were over, the Board of Directors of Yehey! went to the stage and waited for 9:30am to ring the bell which symbolizes the opening of Yehey! as a publicly listed company.



After the ceremony, since it's my first time inside the Philippine Stock Exchange trading floor and it's also the first time of Issa being there, we had to take the opportunity to have our photo ops.

Us again with the Yehey! sign :)
Of course, I must have a solo shot. I'm loving this first time moment!

That's me! Outfit: Tweed Jacket from Mango. Black Dress from SM Classics.
RJ and Mark of Yehey! also had their photo ops since it's their first time too! Our tourist mode was definitely turned on! =D

The guests were invited to have breakfast at the lounge which has a really great view of the stock market floor.

The table cloth even has PSE (Philippine Stock Exchange) embroidery!

View of the trading floor. How peaceful & beautiful it looks, right?
Congratulations again to Yehey! for creating a new page in Philippine history! Cheers to more good times like these and for more success!

Yehey! for Yehey! =)

Dream Christmas Goodies

10:59:00 PM 0 Comments
On my way to work, I saw that there are already some Christmas decors on the streets which reminded me of how soon Christmas is arriving. Since my work as a Digital Marketing Officer in ladies fashion requires me to check out the latest trends online, I can't help but see some pieces that I like so I have decided to save some of them up and put it down in this post as part of my Christmas wish list.

Enchanted Atelier Liliana Comb

I think this comb will add a touch of glam on my hair whenever I attend parties and formal gatherings even if I don't go to a hair stylist to style my hair. Don't you agree?

Kenneth Jay Lane Crystal Lace Bib Necklace
Shoshanna Lilleth Dress

Marc by Marc Jacobs Sparking Bow Bracelet
The bib necklace, dress and bow bracelet make a perfect match! I can imagine myself wearing this on a Christmas date night with my fiance at a posh restaurant with candlelight. I have actually seen a cheaper version of this bib necklace at Zara. I'm still thinking if I should get it.

Kelly Wearstler Twisted Brass Bracelet

Kenneth Jay Lane Spiral Earrings

Free People Contrast Denim Maxi Skirt
Twisted accessories paired with this boho-inspired twisted maxi skirt is just perfect for casual day out with friends on a Saturday afternoon whether in a mall or at a movie theater. The drama of the twists spell F-U-N and A-D-V-E-N-T-U-R-E!

 Shoshanna Bethany Dress

I love how this shiny glittery dress has the right balance of glitz to stand out at parties but not as attention grabbing as sequined dresses. Don't get me wrong. I like sequins but then too much of it seems like telling everyone to look at me which will definitely make me conscious with my movements and uncomfortable that people keep looking at me. Having the right balance of glitz can turn heads for just a short time. It's just that moment where people look at you and think that you look great in that dress then they go back to chit-chatting.

Zara Gold Embroidered Ankle Boots
For times when I'm too lazy to choose a fashionable piece of clothing to wear, just grabbing really beautiful shoes with heels already makes a difference. I'm not sure if this Gold Embroidered Ankle Boots from Zara is already in the Philippines. One thing I'm sure, it's going to look fab on any plain outfit!

Lauded as “one of the best horror stories you will ever see on the stage”, The Woman in Black is based on Susan Hill’s highly regarded 1983 novel of the same name.

Dulaang Kalay and Word of Mouth Theater Philippines proudly present The Woman in Black on October 19 and 20, 8 p.m. at T.E.A.T.R.I.N.O. of Greenhills Promenade in San Juan City

Due to numerous requests to restage the play, noted actors Jeremy Domingo and Reb Atadero shall reprise the roles of older Arthur Kipps and the young theater actor, respectively.

Dulaang Kalay (DK), the first student organization in South East Asia to stage this West End classic, produced and was presented an advanced engagement under the direction of William Elvin Manzano last August 31st. 



Jeremy Domingo co-founded Word Of Mouth Theater Philippines (WOM) in 2006, which produced Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth Unplugged’; a staged reading of Steve Martin’s ‘Picasso at the Lapin Agile’; and the original musicals ‘The Aqua Barkada’ (for RCBC); ‘Maiden of the Sea’ (for Manila Ocean Park) and ‘Flight of a Falcon’ (for AdamsonUniversity). ‘The Woman in Black’ is WOM’s first co-production with DK.

Since then, he has appeared as an actor in numerous productions in and out of the University of the Philippines. In 2011, William established himself as a songwriter for the theatre, beginning with a Filipino musical adaptation of  'Cyrano de Bergerac' for UP’s Dulaang Laboratoryo . In July of the same year, he wrote music and lyrics for Dulaang UP's 'Rizal X'. He started 2012 writing the music for WOM’s ‘Flight of a Falcon’, a musical to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Adamson University. He also directs plays for DK.



Janine Santos is a graduate of the UP College of Music, major in voice. She was part of several opera productions of the UP College of Music, as well as Dulaang UP’s ‘Atang: Dulang may Musika’, ‘Isang Panaginip na Fili’ and ‘Noli: The Opera’.
