The Joy of Art Maki by Jannet and Bubble Man

Attending an event is a great opportunity for me to meet new friends, or see my blogger friends again and update each other and get to know them better.

I was so happy to receive an invite from Mommy Joy Mendiola to attend “The Joy of Art Maki by Jannet and Bubble Man”, we’ve been together a few times during events, and I always thought that she’s a very nice and jolly person, not to mention her OOTDs are just awesome, thus I look forward to seeing her photos and videos on facebook, Instagram and would visit her blog “Occassions of Joy” often. 

Joy was a former Human Resources - Recruitment and Training Specialist, a Marketing Supervisor, and she is now an Events Consultant of Occasions of Joy Events, and a Joyful Lifestyle Blogger of www.occasionsofjoy.com and on top of all that, a happy and proud wife and mom of 3 beautiful kids.

The intimate event was held at the Tokyo Café, located at the lobby of GoHotels in Edsa, Mandaluyong. The café was an ideal place for friends to meet over great coffee and they also serve authentic delicious Euro-Japanese cuisine.

About X-Men Apocalypse

Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel's X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto, to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven with the help of Professor X must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.
