Lots of…read morecouples nowadays want to find the intricate balance between the fast-paced life and relaxation, structure and freedom, convenient but private. This is pretty much one of the reasons why The Blue Leaf at McKinley Hill is a venue of choice for quite many couples for their wedding reception. A space that could comfortably fit 200 people standing, the garden by the driveway makes for a wonderful cocktail area, with cabanas that can be comfortable and convenient. It's a secluded patch of green that's not far from the bustling Bonifacio Global City. The versatility of the venue allows for functions for events with guests that go from anywhere between 100 up t0 400 guests with the two bigger function halls combined. What's also great about Blue Leaf is that they have provisions for almost all add-ons like draping and additional electricity for a minimal fee. They are also quite flexible with some rules and regulations, depending on the requirements of the event at hand. It's no wonder that many couples still choose to have the feast for their wedding here, or even families holding special occasions, and companies hosting events for launches, appreciation parties, and many more.

The venue was amazingly decorated, and the ambience was perfect for the event. I learned later on that the Blue Leaf is basically a shell, a chameleon, designed to change its interiors depending on what you need it to be. This made me respect it even more, because anything that can morph from a laid-back dinner party, to a hypeactive children's birthday party, and to a rip-roaring, crazy college party is amazing in my book.

The place is tucked right in the heart of Makati with free parking which was a huge win after circling forever elsewhere. Food came out quick and tasted amazing (that foie gras appetizer and the steak frites were spot on), drinks were strong but smooth, and the staff were genuinely friendly--our server even remembered our names after the first round. Perfect spot for a chill celebration without feeling overcrowded. Left happy, full, and already planning the next visit. Highly recommend, 5 stars no question!

A couple of weeks ago, J and I were on our way home but we were still a bit hungry and didn't…read morereally feel like going home yet since it was still early, only 6 pm! Since we had no plans, we decided to just check out Circuit Makati, the new Ayala development on the site of the old Santa Ana Race Track, which was on our route home. I have passed by the Santa Ana racetrack area since it was still a racetrack and have been seeing the progress of the construction on it, but have never really checked it out yet. I know it's been open for a few months already, but I felt like there was nothing there yet. Anyway, this was my chance to finally see it. CIRCUIT MAKATI Parking was free, thankfully. I'm sure once it's fully opened, parking won't be free anymore, so if you're curious to see it, now 's the chance! About half of the establishments are already open, mostly restaurants. Some shops are still closed. It has an open design, which seems to be the "IN" thing in malls now. It reminded me of the Ayala Serin Mall in Tagaytay. A lot of the space is open air - this is great if you are a nature lover; I think you'd be able to bring your pets, like in Serendra. It also saves the mall on air-conditioning costs. On the other hand, it can get hot, humid, and muggy, and on that night, it was drizzling, too. However, I appreciate the abundance of plants and little pocket gardens and oasis-like ponds. Pretty. Circuit Makati is 3-floors high, with 2 long buildings with balcony walkways facing each other. The 2 buildings are connected by several bridges. The little balconies with the orange umbrellas by the water remind me of the ones in The Venetian in Macau. I'm sure it will become a prime spot once Circuit Makati is fully opened. There's a Grab Taxi stand out front, and I saw signs for a free shuttle service to Makati. Somewhere, I can't figure if it's on the side or behind the mall, there's a kart racing place, and beside it, there's another area like a big, big tennis court where many kids were doing sports things. Haha, I can't tell what sport it was and I was too lazy to walk there to check. I am actually looking forward to going back there to hang out at CBTL or Starbucks. Why not? Parking is free, and even on a Saturday, there weren't too many people there. Sometimes you just want to hang out at a place where it's not too crowded, almost secluded, 'ya know? Appreciate it while it's still not filled with people. To me, the picture below looks very inviting, because I'm really just an introvert, truly. However, security still seemed to be a bit lax, maybe because Circuit Makati is still new? I saw a group of more than 10 pre-teen to teenage kids hanging out near one of the pocket gardens, with no visible adult companion around to keep them well-behaved. I don't think a group like this would get past security at other malls. Anyway, it seems safe enough, but best to still be alert and keep to the main areas and avoid the darker areas where a lot of shops are still closed.

A mid-sized convention center, the Bayanihan Center will not be competing with SMX or World Trade anytime soon. However, if you have a decent-sized event, the Bayanihan Center is a strong contender. The biggest thing going for it would be its location. Located in front of Pioneer Center in Kapitolyo, the venue is close to EDSA, Greenfield, and Ortigas Center. Having a supermarket beside it is also a huge advantage. And for those who attend any event there, it's proximity to the food centers of Greenfield and kapitolyo must be some sort of happy bonus. Make no mistake, Bayanihan Center is a damned good event venue.

Just a couple of years ago, when the metro was affected by Ondoy, White Space opened up its doors to anyone who would want to help pack food and clothing to give away to the flood victims. Just last month, I attended two events in the same week. One was for the Jack Daniel's On Stage Final event wherein they had a number of bands performing to culminate their two year music campaign. The other was for my grandfather's 90th 1950's themed birthday. Last December, Status Magazine had their annual Yardsale, a bazaar showcasing different independent stores and artisans of Manila. And they also had a little stage for a few bands to perform. A few years ago, Sonic Boom Philippines brought in Four Year Strong for a concert. And a year before that, they celebrated one of their anniversaries, setting up two big stages for various local independent bands to play in. White Space is humongous and perfect for any kind of event. It's easy to decorate and if you find it too small, you can rent out only half of it. I think the main problem though is parking. But don't you worry, at night, parking in the street is allowed. And if you run out of space for that, right across is Eco Plaza who has plenty of space for parking.

Another reason is because of its spacious and spotless bathrooms. From an event organizer's standpoint, Whitespace acts like a blank canvas for any sort of event one would want to organize in here.

How's that for being adaptable?

Events Center at Century City Mall is a 400 sqm plus events space with an adjacent 100 sqm plus al fresco area. It can comfortably seat 200 to 250 people and 300 to 350 people standing up. Air temperature is not a problem because they have more than enough air conditioning units. Every Sunday, the mall hosts Catholic masses in this space. This space is located at the 5th floor of the mall, right beside 12 Monkeys. I love the service pantry and kitchen that this space provides. It's all fitted with stainless steel counters and cabinets that rival professional kitchens. Century Mall is strict when it comes to heating equipment though: only electric appliances are allowed. There's also a male and female toilet available inside the space. Take away: the Events Center of Century City Mall should be a candidate for all your events space needs because of their awesome layout, high ceilings, and nice views.

I have only fond memories of the Events Center at the uppermost floor of Century City Mall because…read moreit was there that I watched Tofff De Venecia's staged reading of "The Glass Menagerie," one of my favorite plays written by the American playwright Tennessee Williams. Against a minimalistic backdrop displaying no more than a giant frame and white blocks to imply a living room, the actors had read their lines from the script with such emotion and vivacity that I now see the Events Center as a place where people are free to express themselves as they choose, to applaud and laugh should the occasion arise. It was really enchanting to see this particular interpretation and production of "The Glass Menagerie" come alive at the Events Center, and with such a bare yet evocative set, a space that could easily function as a performing arts venue as well as a spot for a press release. Also, they gave away free Krispy Kreme donuts that night, which pretty much clinches it for me.
