On Being Number One

I have three reasons why I have to write an article about Number One . First, Valkyrie recently celebrated its 1st year Anniversary last November and it was a blast. Two of the most energetic house DJ duo, Sunnery & Ryan Marciano celebrated with them.

Next on my list on "Being Number One" is #ThePalaceManila. Remains on top of the notch when it comes to clubbing and party venue. The Palace Manila which consists of Valkyrie, Pool Club, Cafe Naya' and the newly launched Revel remained the most sought after party venue among the group of college students,  young professionals and executives. If you have not visited The Palace yet, then December is the right time to be there. Don't miss the weekly themed party at Valkyrie, Pool Club and Revel.

But this article will focus on  how it is be like to be "Number One". I had the chance to work with the Number One promoters of The Palace and they are Arvil Cabatic and Pixie Villocero.

I was sub promoting with Arvil early this year and I was so impressed that he is very professional and dedicated when it comes to serving his guests at Valkyrie . No wonder why his guests  keep on coming back at The Palace. He never missed any guestlist request and once you book a table or a couch to him he makes sure that he puts his hands on your accomodation. From waiters, receptionists to bartenders and bouncers you name it . Everybody knows him at Valkyrie. Same with Pixie, the two are good friends from Republic days to Universe now The Palace Manila. Their many years working together evolved them and that made them the Number One Promoter of the Palace.

On Being Number One...

 Arvil's ability in creating a buzz for The Palace Manila's event with social media trends is his key to being Number One. "Issue press releases, other promotions and news documentation online, as well as posting hashtags and associated images, sharing posts, and more." Those are the words that he had shared to me as his sub promoter.  Arvil have the potential to show up on trending lists on social media, appearing on the sidebars of every single page of that social media network. This is something to go after for big events, raising the hype and offering deals that can be shared on social media. 
During the First Year Anniversary of Valkyrie following the Awesome Halloween Party . Arvil was able to guestlist approximately 90% of the total number of people that celebrated the Anniversary of Valkyrie last November. 
                                                
                                          Game of Thrones Halloween Event at Valkyrie
That night in the reception area, you will hear the buzz of Arvil Cabatic's name from one corner to another since he was able to bag over 1,000 people to come over Valkyrie and celebrate it's Anniversary. This marked the history among the promoters of Valkyrie and makes him the Number One promoter of Valkyrie from it's inception.

Final word from Arvil Cabatic on being Number One promoter of the Number One Club on it's 1st year. Track What People are Saying About You.
"You have to be responsible for checking up on the buzz, the latest that is surrounding you online. What are people saying? What are they up to? Reinforce the positive comments and look into the negative ones. Respond to them.This will show your guests that you being proactive and taking their input. Work on what needs fixing and politely counter the comments that are untrue. Post about what you’re doing to fix negative aspects. Customers will see your extra effort and reward it. Always work on improving your nightclub."

WHAT MAKES ARVIL AT THE TOP OF HIS GAME?

Immediate access to a reliable network of positive, party-going people 

It is basic I should say. People love to go out with Arvil. Because he is fun to be with, very down to earth despite of his achievements. This is a definite description of Arvil that made him a good club promoter and he can manage to bringing up to 100 people even on a weekday.

The right aesthetic
The hottest clubs in the city rely on promoters to bring the right looking crowd into their establishment in order to attract more of the right crowd. Arvil has that image that a club is looking for. Pleasant personality a good party host and can work with confidence even under pressure. I witnessed that while he is accomodating several VIPs, corporate executives in Valkyrie, with their Skybox reservations!!!!
Stamina and patience

He loves to go out and are good to go through 6am most weekends, but mixing work with pleasure as a club promoter can be stressful. You will see Arvil on his phone texting and calling all night, negotiating with his friends and friends of friends to make it out as soon as they can. No matter how demanding the workload can be you will still see him smiling and partying with his guests. 

Those are the key to success and to be number one in the most finest club is something that takes a lot of hardwork but I think this is innate to Arvil which makes him stand out of the crowd.

If you need to be guestlisted under Arvil Cabatic and experience how he take care of his guests you may get in touch him at : 09275320273. Or you may also coordinate with me at : 0935-1759272.

BCBG Party in Fashion “Bon Chic Bon Genre”

Wednesday is the Big day! Cecilia Pitre's arrival in Manila. Let us be prepared to party in style. Cecilia has a great fashion sense, she indeed captured the heart of Asia party people. It is of my great pleasure to present to you what I have discovered through out our email conversation what made Cecilia the hottest Party organizer in Asia. 



You wanna talk Fashion ?


Cecilia who is the CEO of BCBG Party Style by Cecilia …. But it all in this title … it can be for Party but it can be for Fashion ….








BCBG : “Bon Chic Bon Genre” french words for always be Chic and have Good attitude.

I was really thinking of what BCBG means from the time that I get to know Ceci. But it is really nice that she mentioned it already to me.
Also for her Fashion is about “Style” whats the mood of the day , the place you are and people your with …. If u adjust all those together then people will always say that you have style and that your are right in the Fashion :) Fashion for her (French lady living in Thailand for 11 years) is very different from 1 country to an other one …. 



Party in Style in India was introduced by Cecilia as well. She fell in love with the country the first time she set her foot in India and I am hoping that she will feel the same way when she arrive this Wednesday in Manila.


She LOVES India and the amazing Colorfull Saree she get one photoshoot for hand made Pakistanis Dress … Everything can be amazing and everything is .. If u look at it with the right eyes.
In Thailand the “Haute Couture” style will be more about the wedding dress … as u can see photos arched , it s open to any ideas and colors …. Also the very important in Fashion …. ACCESSORIES ….
don’t forget to be in “you need everything matching !"

Photography gives me a chance to see the beauty in things that I usually wouldn't give much attention to, I hope this beauty can make others feel optimistic about what they have all around them always. In Phuket the lush colors filled with saturation always make for beautiful, bright and uplifting photo's that remind me of how beautiful this planet is when you focus on the positive. … Sean Oliver Moonwalker



I had recently watched Cinderella and remarked on it's beauty. I really wanted to have a set piece that showed a more elegant style of dress, something we don't see much in Phuket because of the heat. When I saw Cecilia had this dress and such a wonderful venue to shoot it, I naturally jumped at the opportunity. Cecilia personally has always had a keen eye for style and is a perfectionist by nature, I always love people that make me raise my own standards, it was fun to be challenged and to collaborate with her on this project.

Cecilia has her own designer in Phuket Thailand as well .



Sun Arthit Taninpong is the designer of Cecilia whenever she is in Phuket.


According to Sun Arthit. Since his childhood he was in love with all kind of art but because he had to begun to work at 15 years old, I could not study it at school.



"I worked first as a car washer but quickly I find a way to reconnect my passion for beauty by working as a performer in a cabaret show."

"That's where I really begun to learn about art, make up, fashion and entertainment. From that time I keep watching everything about fashion on all media to understand what makes it special to develop my own creations.
For me fashion is "haute couture" which mixed many artisanal knowledges to become Art.A few years ago I met Christian Surscene who made my dream come true by giving me the opportunity of being his designer and business partner, in our costume shop we opened in July 2014 : Phuket Dressing Room (https://www.facebook.com/phuketdressingroom).There we create something different from other places : you can rent or buy all kinds of costumes I design from cocktail dresses or wedding costumes to cabaret and fancy style."

Creations of Lorieme for Cecilia Pitre

Cecilia never failed to miss talents all over Asia and that is the same reason why she identified Filipino talent our very own Emerilyn Suya. Look at the frienship that they built togther. It makes me feel overwhelmed that a socialite like Cecilia gets to know talents of my kababayan Emerilyn Suya who is also making some noise for creating clothes for most of the socialites in Asia like Korea, Thailand among others.



Lorieme By:Emerilyn Suya. Will be opening her shop soon in Alabang and we are actually planning to organize a pool part for her swimwear collection. Watch out for it guys. I will keep you posted definitely.
Lorieme Shop in Alabang soon
I had the chance to talk to Emerilyn as well after Cecilia introduced me to her. And I found out that she has a good heart. She asked me to plan and organize an event that will helped single parents. Not just single women but she wants to make social awareness that single parenthood shold not lead to poverty. A fashio show for a cause is what Emerilyn wants to organize. And I am very much excited to lead and organize that event.

Emerilyn added that fashion for her is self expression it's art, often people; include fashion to describe there feeling or mood, colors are very important, I prefer bright colors, I guess I consider my self a happy person, and it helps to look good. as for fashion in Thailand, I love the weather as it is always warm, so I enjoy wearing free flowing bright dresses. https://www.facebook.com/Emerilynsuyafashioncollections?pnref=lhc—  Our philippines support for the next event in Manila – Party on the26th of September with the famous DJ Sabrina Terence at Royal Club Makati.



I can't wait for their arrival in Manila. I know that it will be a busy week for Cecilia but I hope that on Saturday we will be able to discuss future plans for parties and events.

CARNAGE IN THE HOUSE

Ready to rock the stage of Valkyrie this wednesday night is DJ/Produer Carnage. 
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT VALKYRIE!!!
HipHop, Trap, Progressive House DJ/Producer CARNAGE in Manila brought to you by the finest club in the Philippines Valkyrie at the Palace.
September 16, 2015 it is!!! For inquiries and Reservations: 09351759272.




Real Name: Diamante Blackmon
City Born: Los Angeles
Country Born: United States

About Carnage

I had a hard time researching on Dj/Producer Carnage. Looking back at the archive of my blog you'll see that I wrote about him in one of my articles about the September event of the Palace Manila together with Pacha Ibiza and DJ Alesso. But I haven't digged in so much about him on that article. However, here it is , what you need to know about this DJ/Producer that is about to rock the world of Valkyrie this wednesday September 16, 2015. 
Born as Diamante Blackmon back in 1991, DJ Carnage is actually making a name for himself in the dance music world. After scaling the dance music ladder apparently instantaneously, the renaissance man musician has great reason to be thrilled. With creation credit on RiFF Raff’s lead single, the arrival of an approaching SiriusXM radio show, an enormous EDC Vegas performance and (to top it all away) Chipotle offering the DJ free burritos (“burrito bowls when I am feeling fat”) for life are just a few of the motives why Carn – as his boss calls him – is prepared to fend off his “#Chipotlegang” followers and rock to Laidback Luke as though he were a lover, and not your own friend of his.
The audacious producer burst after his remix of Hardwell’s “Spaceman” a just ten months past and adamant on making music history. His coming hardstyle-esque single with Tony Junior, “Michael Jordan,” is a graphic painting of Carnage’s fearless tenacity: “It is simply a mythical record, everything I make is celebrated. I’m like a robot,” he says matter-of-factly on why he called the track after basketball’s best. The guy is feeling like he’s #23 and he desires everything. The tour is named ‘6 Rings’ because “[Jordan] won six rings. This tour is all about winning the title. Every show is a game and I’m going undefeated.” Let’s trust Carn never gets traded to the Wizards.
The hip-hop beat-smith, festival trapaholic and large room house hybrid vehicle reflects on if he had never lifted the decks: “I had been a tornado chaser,” he says with no millisecond of reluctance. It’s a great interview reply. Creative and most likely in jest yet it makes sense because in certain manners Carnage is a tornado chaser; consistently looking for another matter that’ll tear up sh*t. Upward. Acknowledging his ill-famed festival snare is coming to an end via a twitter rant, house and trance are Carn’s following thunderstorm with “huge music, large sh*t and substantial material.” This man is a schemer.

Yet there appears to be no process supporting the madness of Carnage’s diversity and multi-genre abilities: “I really enjoy a life of whatever I feel like doing. It’s impulsive. If I need to make a rap record I make it, if I desire to create a home record I make it. If I desire to make some pretty sh*t I make some pretty sh*t, you know?” Carn is as free and untamed as the twisters he pursues, against the actual carpe diem approach and true interest for investigating the musical spectrum, never fearful to remind you that he’s the league MVP.
