    Trixia Salonga

    Hi! I'm Trixia and welcome to my slice of life. I'm not your average blogger, I'm a hybrid of multi-dimensional shoujo, a rare breed of legal loli and a unique original producer of ideas and inspiration. My path goes on the other side of the road which is less traveled, where thrill and excitement rests. This blog holds my inner thoughts, experiences, opinions and out-of-the-ordinary theories which I keep as a journal of my life's highlights.

    Halloween in the Philippines! Ah~ reminiscing... oh! yup! My Halloween celebrated this November 1 was different from before, I no longer have the semestral break which I used to have when I was still a student, oh how  I miss those days! Looking back, I had cosplayed Caroline when we had a Trick or Treat on the neighborhood sponsored by one of the running electoral campaign, but since there's no election as usual in the Philippines, everything is quite silent in the village. Although malls had celebrated a lot of treat or trick Halloween special celebration, I was able to see one in my workplace, besides the Pokemon Party, we had a special kids Halloween Trick or treat where we bring a kid with us or just bring a bag full of candies. I was only able to bring a bag of candies since I got so busy lately I wasn't able to invite any kids. A lot of people had dresssed up in their maleficient inspired costumes and vampiric costumes which seems to be most easy to dress up. Kids loved to dress up as snow white, batman, their favorite justice league heroes and more, it was really busy at the building but we couldn't see some clients joining the festivities though. My Halloween was full of gastronomic experiences, New opened shops around neighborhood had popped out and  have to make scheduled changes to try them all!!! hehehe! You wouldn't imagine the traffic during weekends at work, we had one food stop lane opened and since the parking space cannot accomodate all the cars around, cars cramp around the highway creating more traffic. I wasn't able to visit my dead loved ones at the cemetery but had paid respects to them thru prayers. Mom and Meaw had gone there to visit them for the day, when I woke up, it was  already dark and we had a work on the same night. Yup I don't have a vacation, the company only recognizes Thanksgiving as their official holiday thats why Halloween and Christmas is not celebrated as a paid holiday vacation, but I made sure that this festive seasons will be kept very productive and all my dreams come true!
    It is quite true that when you finally get the chance to become an adult capable of having the financial capabilities time becomes one of the most challenging issues but we have should not give up fulfilling that dream of ours. This November the Supermoon was a bright and phenomenal, most of my friends have appreciated the big, bright moon last November 14 and photos of that gone viral all around the world in the blessed day, the next will be witnessed on 2034! I was not able to see the bright Supermoon but the pictures shown on social medias have made my night grand. How did you spent your time last November 14

    PERSONAL EXPERIENCE on press conference
    November 8, 2016 at Golden Phoenix Hotel Manila 1:30 pm – Hello Everyone! I'm so glad to be able to write a new adventure again! This time we were invited to join a special awarding press conference for HSMA VIRTUS AWARDS 2016. The chosen bloggers were invited in a group chat in facebook informed of the meeting place, date, time and contact persons. The date was set on Tuesday at 1:30 pm for meetup and it was perfect timing since I have a night off that night. We dined in to my newest favorite food chain, Manang's Chicken at Munoz, Quezon City before we head to SM MOA where the hotel is located we took the train and public utility jeepney on our way and surprisingly walked under the heat finding the hotel, but when we went inside the hotel, the lobby was so grand! I, again felt like Cinderella coming into the ball, we asked the concessionaires the location of the event and was assisted by the courteous hotel personnel.

    hsma virtus awards 2016 We took elevators to 7th floor and changed to my Cinderella dress~ hehe I wore a fitted elbow length lace top that is connected with striped black and white skirt jumper, it was edgy and classic combined in one fashion.Outside the hall is a restaurant slash bar and its so luxurious looking but it was currently closed when we got there so even though I wanted to shot a pic I felt really shy. A few distance from that is the Swimming pool area, the corridors are lined by intricately designed carpet and silence is observed. The main elevators are intended for the tenants of the hotel so we use guests elevators. I had contacted the numbers for the contact persons and they replied and assisted us inside the hall. We had provided our names and website before we got inside and when I saw the event area, definitely felt like Cinderella instantly! Seats arranged in circles the table with incredible yellow and white combination lights and small projector and stage for the show. We met bloggers and the President so Media representatives, It was so fun and honestly I couldn't stop my self from taking so many pictures because it is the only time that I could get incredibly perfect light and setting! The Salad was the appetizer which consisted of Lettuces, cucumber,orange pulp, carrots and a special oil underneath. For the main course, Pasta in White Sauce fully loaded with bacon, Roasted pork with side bread, for  dessert, Chocolate and tart combo. For the drinks, iced fruit mango peach garnished with orange pieceThe President had given out her calling cards to all medias on the room and the event started with a joyous humble beginnings of the awards

    hsma virtus awards 2016

    PASAY CITY, MANILA 8 November, 2016. Golden Phoenix Hotel Manila hosted the Press Conference of the prestigious event for outstanding hotel professionals – the Hotel Sales and Marketing Association (HSMA)’s 2nd VIRTUS Awards at the Aura Ballroom. The Virtus Awards aims to transform the mindset of sales and marketing professionals in the hotel industry to set the tone for excellence, quips Ms. Margie Munsayac, the President of HSMA.
    HSMA is an association of hotels and resorts sales and marketing leader which count 76 members of 3 to 5 star properties in the country.

    Golden Phoenix Hotel Manila joins the competition with Ms. Adana Bautista; the hotel’s Corporate Graphic Designer for the Outstanding Sales and Marketing Associate and for the Marketing Campaign of the Year led by Mr. Juan Miguel Barrera, Marketing and Communications Specialist.
    The hotel’s marketing campaign, Sleep with Us, focuses on the physical and mental benefits of sleep as it has a direct correlation with performance and giving guests more reasons to stay with them, whether it may be a business meeting,  a family staycation, or maybe even simply looking for new places to discover and explore.
    HSMA with the support of the Department of Tourism and the Tourism Infrastructure Enterprise Zone Authority will announce the winners of the Virtus Awards 2016 on November 15, 2016 at the Novotel Manila Araneta Center. Virtus Awards Nights tickets are available at hsmasecretariat@gmail.com.



    Con't Personal Experience on Press Conference
    Upon the Question and Answer portion, I was able to participate and ask the future events that we can look out for including more Participating Contestants, scrupulous judging and ensuring integrity of the interviews, they will be HSMA believes to focus on Quality over Quantity so for our future participants and audience, this event is going to become more and more exciting. 
    hsma virtus awards 2016
    These aspects are strengthening to contribute to Philippines expanding participation to promote tourism and hospitality. I root for this event since I myself knows how difficult it is to contribute to uplift society's tourism and it is a rocky road on the way but the fulfillment is truly rewarding!

    It is seldom that I am able to go out and join blogging and cosplay, I admit that I am in difficulty with time management since I focus more on resting during my day breaks from work, it is difficult and lately work hasn't been really friendly, most of the time have a hard time coping with stress and fatigue, but the more that I don't fulfill my dreams the worse my performance gets. My dreams truly are important to me and I feel like a zombie if I give them up, no reason to wake up and look forward to everyday, No goal at all. I've committed to fulfilling my dreams even though it is  truly difficult and I have to be wiser with my health, now I realized why God had let me pursue medical course, it is perfect so that I will be able to have the knowledge and expertise to stay strong and fulfill the dreams. It is tough but this is one start. Soon, my contract from work will determine if I am legible for becoming a regular employee and being a trainee seriously has taken toll to my health, big time!

    hsma virtus awards 2016

    So After the event they had a small raffle and I was shocked when they called out my name, I thought we were just going to do a picture taking, but my manager told me I won a Grand Prize I was astounded. My Grand Prize was something that was my dream that I wanted to have and God had granted it, if you wanna know what that Grand Prize is stay tune to my blog and I will feature that sooner or later.


    Transportation was rough but the event and the received reward was everlasting.

    An inspirational movie to check out:

    This movie is perfect for you! Whether you are planning to join for the next Virtus award or not, find out the reason why this young man was able to fulfill a dream that he thought would never happen.

    Bedtime Stories 2008 starred by Adam Sandler
    This Movie has inspired me, Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler) is a hotel handyman who was promised by his father, Marty Bronson (Jonathan Pryce), to be the manager of the family hotel. A mysophobe named Barry Nottingham (Richard Griffiths) agreed to keep that promise when the Bronson family sold their hotel to him—then built a new hotel instead. Thirty years later, when the story begins, Skeeter is the hotel's handyman while management is held by Kendall (Guy Pearce). Barry's new hotel, the Sunny Vista Nottingham Hotel, is a hit, but he's got plans to build an even more elaborate hotel, one designed around a theme that he's keeping secret.


    Thank you very much to Ms. Jamm, Mr. Richard, Ms. Sara and the hospitable staff of Golden Phoenix and everyone that welcomed us in this event! We look forward for success of the event!

    hsma virtus awards 2016

    . Monday, November 07, 2016 .

    Hello Again! On our recent gastronomic experience, we visited Manang's Kitchen , A 100% Filipino owned company, owned and operated by Giabella Foods Corporation. The branch we visited is on  Munoz, Jackmann Plaza. We honestly got disappointed when we found out that Chicboy had closed down on that same location, but we couldn't stop ourselves to try the new food chain in town so we were excited to give it a try. 


    The Setting of the whole place is inviting and clean. A great Art of Munoz and good landmarks were on the walls, the air conditioning is a thumbs up, I even got really cold after a few minutes mind you the time we visited the place was just a few minutes on their first hour of opening at exactly 10:00 am in the morning.
     On that wall is the great history of how Manang's started :

    "That sweet, salty, crispy, juicy chicken you’re sinking your teeth into has been a staple at our family dining table for the past 20 years. Our beloved cook, affectionately called “Manang,” whipped it up for all of our family occasions and nobody ever got enough of it. Fast forward to 2011 and Manang’s soy garlic chicken evolved from the comfort food of our dining table, to the local weekend market, and finally to a growing chain of fast food restaurants! Manang unwittingly redefined fried chicken for the Pinoy market.
    The good news is we’re just getting started — the best is yet to come! Just keep bringing your appetites and leave it to us to satisfy your cravings for insanely good chicken. Make Manang’s Chicken a delectable part of your family and barkada gatherings. It has certainly been a delectable part of ours."
     A recognizable LRT North Edsa Munoz on the Art of Manang's Kitchen wall featuring a bus heading to Munoz, making the room lively and partnered with orange coated chairs fit perfectly on the color palette of the wall.
     A feature of their Halloween Spooky Sundaes on the wall served this November.
     Seats accomodate upstairs for more guests.
     What we ordered:
    Ultimate Bucket 
    Including 3 Rice
    2 Sides, 2 Chips, 2 dips and 1.5 L pepsi



    Then we added to try out their Cupcake Sundaes:
    Triple Chocolate and Red Velvet



    Although since they recently just opened, the 2 sides coleslaw and corn are not available they let us replace the two with more Chips and I fell in love, the taste had given me nostalgia of my childhood days when mom takes me to Cubao to watch on Christmas on the panoramic dolls moving on a building, one of my most incredible childhood memories~!
     The Chips are original cripy taste that I have never tried before, it looked liked somewhat Shakey's mojos but it had different savory and taste, one that I cannot forget then I dipped them to the two sauces, Creamy Cheese and Mayonnaise it was heavenly!!





















    These are three of the 6 pieces of Manang's secret glazed chicken, this is an original recipe perfect to suite the salty taste buds and herbs to savor plus chewiness of the chicken! A definite drool!!

    I can't really stop thinking that all these settings are quite similar to my favorite food chain KFC, but the menu are unique especially the chicken and my new love their chips! 


    I am not done with discovering more of Manang's great food menu, next I will feature some of their menu items not mentioned here and don't forget to stay tune to my blog,
    to keep updated follow my blog or social media links on the page thanks!

    For their delivery:
