Another Year of Productive Partnerships with Filipino Bloggers Network




As a budding blogger, being a member of a reputable group like Filipino Bloggers Network is really an honor. Last year, my online life evolved around FBN and MetroBuzz (doing campaigns and attending invites from FBN and MetroBuzz) because I know that their partners are indeed awesome. Whenever Im torn between an invite from this group and another group, I would always prioritize FBN's invite, because I know I'm with good hands.


Last December 28, 2016 Filipino Bloggers Network (FBN), one of the most active bloggers group in the country, in cooperation with MetroBuzz Bloggers held its annual Christmas get-together at St. Nicholas Catering and Restaurant in Mandaluyong City. It was indeed a night of great fun, awesome and grand giveaways , delicious food and meeting new friends.

FBN currently has more than 1,800 blogger members and continue to expand as it provides a venue for Filipino bloggers to interact with other members from different part of the Philippines.

Unica Y holding our VIP tickets! Woot!

We, my daughter and I, are so lucky to have watched 'Le Grand Cirque' at the Big Dome this afternoon, a day before Christmas!

My daughter's eyes sparkled and her face  could not hide her excitement when we arrived at the show's audience entrance. 

Aerial trapeze

Jugglers

Acrobalance/ Adagio

Aerial silk aka aerial contortion

The spectacular event is filled with non-stop thrills, death-defying stunts, and unbelievable acts! A high-octane family entertainment indeed!

Amazing Trampoline acts

Aerial cubes

Plate spinners in combination with contortion! Superb!

This power duo is the bomb!

After each act, the audience were entertained by the most funniest clown/mime (but truly with class)! And he makes sure that the audience are part of his act. 😊

Mime and his victim haha! 

This show is a must for every family. An unbeatable way to spend quality time with your loved ones! Once in a lifetime experience! 

We never clapped so much in any show we've been to! 



It is going to be an exciting visual display of talent mixed with an amusing play of lights and music that perfectly set the mood for every act. It also promises an extravaganza of action and spectacular choreography as well as colorful and elaborate costumes.
