ELIZABETH: MANILA MARRIOTT HOTEL

"There is no better friend than a sister. And there is no better sister than you!"
My sister is the culprit behind these Elizabeth posts on this blog and I love having quality time with her, be it with my cute adorable nephew, project site inspections or like in this case, having a chat and camwhoring (which is the old term for "selfies") at the lobby of a hotel while waiting for time.

Instead of hot tea, I opted for something cold since it's a hot afternoon after all.

Lemonade Watermelon

I actually snatched that sugar syrup because my lemonade is with real lemon juice and I was not prepared for it. hihi!

Hot Calamansi Juice

 I'm actually with my sister Gerilen at Manila Marriott Hotel last October 20, 2014, because Colgate launches their new product, Colgate Maximum Cavity Protection plus Sugar Acid Neutralizer that you could read about here.

Below are the four-course meal Colgate served to the guests. This dishes are prepared by Marriott Hotel.

ELIZABETH: Chef Tony's Popcorn

 My latest addiction.. popcorn! from Chef Tony. 

These popcorn are oh so yummy! You'll gonna love it too! :)

 Each Chef Tony’s Tub begins with the best and rarest corn kernel found in the United States. Each kernel pops many times its original size to a perfect sphere shape giving each bite a crisp and creamy mouth fill. Then they season each kernel using a secret 3 stage process which allows all the special ingredients to remain crisp and fresh on each kernel up to the very moment you pop it in your mouth!

My nephew Clyde loved it so much too! :)
