Bored with the run-of-the-mill weekends you seem to play on repeat? Let us liven them up with a dash of Jameson and some fun ideas to change things up.

If you’re one of the lads and ladies looking to broaden their options for enjoyment, read on!

1. Making connections: a BBQ meet and greet

Looking to meet new people but don’t like the pressure and predictability of the party scene? There are few better ways to get a bunch of strangers together than a good old-fashioned barbecue.

Up the ante and require that every friend that you invite to bring someone new (and preferably single) along with a potluck dish. Your job, then, as host, is simply to provide the venue, the food, and the booze. Pour some Jameson Irish Whiskey over ice and top up with ginger ale. Stir to mix. Take a large wedge of lime, squeeze and drop it into the glass. Now sit back and watch the sparks fly!

2. Stack them up for Board Game Night

Not really feeling the outdoor vibe? Set up for a comfy night indoors by inviting your geeky friends for a rousing game of anything from mahjong to Dungeons and Dragons!

To make things even more interesting, serve themed cocktails to go with your game. Say, if you’re playing Monopoly, serve Manhattans made with Jameson Whiskey for that chic uptown vibe.

3. Movie marathon and chill

Invite people over to watch the latest season of your favorite series or movie trilogy and you’ll realize that there’s a special kind of bonding that can only happen over hours of cinematic ploys and several servings of pizza. End the night with a few Jameson and beer combos.

4. Get creative: host a cocktails contest

Love to get all lush but are getting bored with your regular tipple? Tap your friends’ creative sides and host a make-your-own cocktail party, complete with a small prize for the creator of the most delicious mix!

Provide the basics: a couple of bottles of your base, such as Jameson Whiskey; a good supply of basic ingredients such as mint leaves, lemons, sparkling water, and soda; and a heaping amount of bar chow.

Jameson is a good base for cocktails for its smoothness and versatility.

5. Rough it in style: explore Glamping

Sleeping under the stars is great, but let’s face it: not everyone enjoys sand in their sleeping bag. But there’s a new trend that’s worth checking out, dubbed “glamping”: basically camping, but in style. You get to sleep outdoors under the night sky, but you also get the benefit of creature comforts like running water and a working bathroom.

Spice up cool nights with a nice hot toddy by steeping a tea bag or some ginger in hot water and pour the brew into mugs. Add some Jameson whiskey, honey, and lemon to taste. Stir with a cinnamon stick, and share stories around the campfire with your buds! 5/20/2018 (The Lifestyle Portal)

This summer, countless wide-eyed fans came for an experience of a lifetime with their favorite artists at the Mall of Asia Arena. The venue had one of its most jam-packed weeks of the year with back-to-back sold-out shows from some of the world’s biggest acts.

On April 28, passionate K-pop fans of EXO filled-up the Arena during the Elyxion concert, the 4th installment of the superstar group’s world tour. The multi-awarded K-pop band held a show complete with laser beams, a stylish bar, and light effects that matched their songs perfectly. With fans like EXO-Ls, the show took a mesmerizing turn as the audience made an ocean of silver with their light sticks moving to the beats of the band.

After his last concert with One Direction in 2015, May 1 saw the return of Harry Styles to the Philippines with his first solo tour. Harry did not disappoint as he serenaded his fans with a powerful performance.

“I only have one job here, and that is to entertain all of you,” said Styles as he rocked the Arena with hits “Sign of the Times” and “Only Angel” from his self-titled album.

Just a day after Harry’s show, the Arena was again filled with eager fans for another world-renowned performer: Bruno Mars.

The concert kicked-off with a bang, as award-winning dance crew Jabawockeez took to the stage, and segued to Bruno Mars and his band, the Hooligans. The Grammy Award-winning artist brought the house down as he started off with his chart-topping hits “Finesse” and “24K Magic”.

The 2-day concert attracted Bruno Mars fans including local celebrities Vicky Belo, Vice Ganda, Ogie Alcasid, Luis Manzano, Jessy Mendiola, Carmina Villaroel, power couple Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes, Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Maxene Magalona. Some of the celebrities came with their families and friends.

The 24K Magic Tour Manila came to a close with Bruno dedicating “Just The Way You Are” to his beloved Filipino fans. Truly a tour to remember, his performance showered the crowd with gold confetti that matched his eclectic energy on stage.

May marks the anniversary of the Mall of Asia Arena, which launched its first show in 2012, with Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Ball Tour. As Manila is currently a hot scene for world-renowned acts, the venue takes pride in continuously being a host to many live shows. True to the vision of the SM Group to bring quality entertainment to the Philippines, the Arena has now become a valuable partner to the nation’s top promoters and organizers who repeatedly chooses the Mall of Asia Arena as an avenue for their events.

Apart from catering to various audiences, the Arena is also home to corporate brands - with partners like PLDT, Globe, Unilever, Solaire, LBC, Tanduay, Meralco, Powerstroke, ABS-CBN, 8990 Holdings, Belle Corporation and newly-boarded partners Peerless Products Manufacturing Corporation and Oriental Group Entertainment and Leisure, enjoying the venue’s shows, amenities, and advertising assets on a yearly basis.

St. Joseph’s College (SJC), Quezon City, in celebration of its 85 years of providing excellent education and support to the community, hosted a press conference, May 12, 2018, 4:00 pm at its Audio Visual Room. The press conference highlighted SJC’s Jubilee 85 accomplishments and future plans to improve and expand school programs and facilities.

Sr Teresita C. Babaran, SFIC and school president, shared: “The event will include testimonials from key stakeholders on the significance of an SJC education that is characterized by academic excellence for social transformation in the service of God and people. Founded in 1932 by Dutch Franciscan sisters, SJC has been a leading institution of academic excellence. For 85 years, it has educated more than 400,000 global alumni who are transforming and leading the communities in which they live and in the professions they each have chosen to pursue.”

Vice-Mayor Joy Belmonte has been invited to provide the keynote address to share her thoughts on the value of a strong educational foundation for the careers of the future. Congressman Bingbong Crisologo, another esteemed speaker, will feature the important role SJC, the oldest educational institution in the city, has played in the community then and now.

During the Japanese occupation, the school was closed down and the buildings were used as a mini-military hospital by the Japanese army and later by the US military. Additionally, SJC, together with 10 other private colleges and universities, became a charter member of the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) in 1957.

In the 60’s, SJC was one of the leading forces in the development of performing arts in the country, with its impressive 1,200-seating capacity Mater Dei Auditorium providing the venue to many critically acclaimed plays for the community. Today, the school continues its tradition of social outreach by providing feeding programs, medical missions and free tuition to deserving indigent students.

Attorney Jose Sison, father of deceased alumna Joyce Sison and host of long running TV show success “Ipaglaban Mo”, will provide parent testimonial on how SJC has molded their daughter to be service oriented through her work at Opus Dei until her demise. He added, “SJC continues to be a part of our family even through the years.”

Alumna Architect Stephanie Gilles, a leading practitioner of sustainable urban design, will also share how SJC has prepared her to be successful in her field. She will also unveil the design of the new school façade which will be underwritten by donations raised by Jubilee 85 fundraising.

Entertainment will be provided by Batch 80 Alumna, singer and visual artist Iwi Laurel. She and her sibling, deceased Stella Laurel, were SJC high school graduates. Their father was the former Vice President Salvador Laurel.

Other VIPS include Jerramy King, PBA star athlete and son of US based nurse practitioner alumna Jocylane King. Jeremy relayed, “I am proud to represent my mother and be connected to her roots.” Fr. Mon Eloriaga, parish priest of neighboring St. Joseph Shrine Parish, will do the prayer invocation and has also lent his support for future fundraising efforts.

Following the testimonials and entertainment will be the presentation of three checks – Php 300,000 donated by Batch 1980, Php 200,000 donated by Batch 1979, and Php 100,000 donated by Batch 1974. Cynthia Ragil-Paras, finance and compliance expert, will present the check on behalf of the Batch 1980 whose generous donors include graduates from all over the world.

Lastly, an announcement will be made on the upcoming fashion show gala fundraising event to refurbish the Mater Dei Auditorium, to generate sustainable funds for the school through venue rentals from the community. The elegant fashion show will be in collaboration with renowned international designers Jhun Ador and Albert Fontanilla, and Chada Roxas, celebrity makeup artist.

Sr. Immaculee Pagalilauan, Alumni Office Coordinator, shared, “I am grateful for all the hard work of our alumni in marshalling the efforts of our Josephines near and far to bring about a renewed commitment to the school. This is alumni in action --- alive, functioning, and meaningful. Your help will ensure the continued legacy of our school so that future generations may also benefit from the education and tradition you have experienced.” 05/13/2018 (The Lifestyle Portal)
