Global Mala Manila

GMP_Poster3_11x17_JUL19v1_DUST

On September 21st, Manila yogis and yoginis will come together at White Space on Pasong Tamo Extension, in Makati. Together, we will celebrate peace and service by offering classes all day long for yoga practitioners and beginners in a community event that caters to both adults and children. Because the number of students and teachers in Manila is multiplying exponentially, this year’s event boasts an increased variety in class offerings. White Space serves up four different venues for all of the teachers to share the gift of yoga. Mala volunteers will fill these classes with over 20 different types of yoga, healthy living talks, reiki, theta healing, and work life balance.

I jumped at the opportunity last year, to become involved with Global Mala. When my friend, Ginger Diaz, of Bikram Yoga Alabang asked me if I would be interested in teaching the kids yoga classes, I immediately said yes. I had been wanting to get involved with Mala for years, but for some reason, was never able to work it into my schedule. Thankfully, I was welcomed into fold of the Global Mala family and had a great time teaching my kids yoga classes and attending the drumming and poi classes with my son, Diego.

Teresa Herrera has been organizing Global Mala in Manila, since Shiva Rea conceptualized the idea in 2007, of a “Mala around the World.” By promoting peace, environmentalism and healthy living, Shiva Rea’s vision was to have yogis and yoginis all around the world, on all 7 continents, practicing yoga for a higher purpose, for a community, and for one another. Global Mala is touted as the “largest unified yoga event promoting positive change” in the world and falls not only on the Fall Equinox, but also on the United Nations’ International day of Peace. What a wonderful way to celebrate both of these days surrounded by like minded creative people!

So many classes will be offered this year!

Kids will be admitted FREE to the kids yoga classes if they are between the ages of 3-8 years old. Simply “like” the Global Mala Facebook Page, and include your child’s name and age in a private message to the moderator. Your child’s attendance will be confirmed if he or she is one of the first 20 kids who sign up. Older kids can participate at a discounted rate of 50% regularly priced admission, however, teens that are 15 years old and up must pay full price admission.

This year all the funds raised from Global Mala will be donated to three different organizations including A Liter of Light, Trees for the Future, and the Tubbataha Foundation.  Supporting an event like this makes it easy to know that you are enjoying the gift of yoga and giving back to a great cause.

Waterside @solaireresort’s BBQ Brunch Buffet has Waterside @solaireresort’s BBQ Brunch Buffet has all the southern fixings and more.

Grilled and smoked meats. Seafood and mixed drinks. Fried chicken and fish and chips. Starters include fresh salads, corn bread, nachos and more. But the kicker comes in the form of a Make Your Own Milkshake bar, and YES, you can order it spiked with your favorite liquor! 

Waterside is only one of quite a few restaurants that you can enjoy  beautiful weekend brunches with your favorite person, the fam bam, or your friends. 

Check out www.mommanmanila.com to see the full menu and what Nino and I enjoyed most.
Creating food together is one of our love language Creating food together is one of our love languages. We flow in the kitchen. I get excited and move too fast, and she grounds me, and slows things down. We can move around one another while still staying in sync. In our own kitchen, there is music that guides us and sets the tone for the meal. Gelli would be in the mix, the boys will set the table, someone makes dessert, and maybe @manila.gent  makes a drink. 

When we prepare our table together there is so much that goes into the process and the ingredients. This mindful movement brings me so much joy when we are all together.

Even more so when we attend classes together to learn new dishes too.  @themayakitchen1 has regular classes offering cooks of all abilities to learn something new when preparing meals for for our families.

Check out my new article on @rappler for @kitchen143 where Gia and I learned from Chef @cocoyventura a few new Pinoy dishes that will definitely be on rotation for #TeamGellibean.

Crispy Pata. Is there anything better than perfec Crispy Pata.

Is there anything better than perfectly brined crispy fried pork? 

@manila.gent and I visited @viicsrestaurantph for simple Pinoy fare that hit the spot. Admittedly, after moving here so many years ago, I took a while to warm up to this dish that is one of Nino’s (and my mom’s) favorites. But every once in a while-I won’t feel guilty about indulging in this deep fried treat.

Happy to learn that we can also order for when Mom arrives through @foodpanda_ph too!

Looking forward to bringing the family back soon!

Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGu Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGuardia, was picked up by one of my dearest friends and spent the entire day at the beach just catching up on LIFE.

It was a breezy day. Overcast. A little chilly to be in a suit, but it was perfect to catch up with my girl Candy. Sometimes, if you have chosen your friends well, you can pick up where you left off, as if no time has passed at all. 

Just like I did, sitting in that beach chair, feeling the mist of the Atlantic Ocean, and watching the seagulls pick and the seaweed.

Thank you Candy! For the friendship, for dropping everything to come and pick me up. Drive me around and have dinner with me and Fayth. 

Wishing I was sitting on this beach with you right now!!!
Eggs Benny with BBQ Pulled Pork was just one of ma Eggs Benny with BBQ Pulled Pork was just one of many dishes that we enjoyed during #SundayBrunch at Waterside in @solaireresort .

From cornbread, to mom’s potato salad, melt in your mouth whisky cured short ribs, homemade sausages and more. This #BrunchBuffet had @manila.gent and I rolling each other out the door!

Hard to choose which was our favorite from the feast that was set before us!

Brunch is inclusive of some delicious drinks, some Southern smoked and BBQ Fare, and a most colorful sweet dessert buffet by way of Milkshake Bar!

Missing my @migaventajado The short time I had w Missing my @migaventajado 

The short time I had with this guy in Florida was definitely something I will look back on. Wish we had more time to explore and do some fun things on our own.

Gah. How is this kid 20 years old already?
I remember when he was little and he loved peanut butter, chicken nuggets, Kylie Minogue, and sitting on my lap. He was squishy, in tune with my feelings, and I was always worried that he might have an asthma attack in his sleep so I would nebulize him every few hours. He always looked at new experiences with gratitude and wonder, much how he did while we were in FL together.😍

Praying he continues to strengthen his faith as he grows. 🙏🏻👨🏻🙌🏻

Miss you Miggy!
