Speed Dating: How Does it Works?

Exoro Events is inviting you to “It’s a date!”  to be held at Club Tilt on Saturday at 5:00 pm, February 11. 2012.

It’s a date!  Is a speed dating craze that is fun, fast and safe and the first of its kind in Cagayan de Oro City.  Every single men and women ages from 20 to 40 are invited to join. Who knows? You might find the one perfect or not so perfect mate for you. So, wear your best attire and your best smiles and paint the town red!

It’s SAFE, FUN, and Fast!!

No more personal ads, blind dates or bar scene pick-ups. Where else can you meet a dozen or more people at one time who are there for the same reason you are?

“Speed Dating” events are a modern way to bring single professionals together in casual, fun and pressure-free environments. Everyone’s been talking about it, and you’ve probably seen the concept on popular TV shows such as Sex and The City and in the movie Hitch.

How It Works:

Register:

Step one is to register for the Speed Dating event, just fill out the Registration Form available at Club Tilt or you can request thru email at exoroeventsites@gmail.com

Once we receive your Registration Form and payment, well send you an e-mail confirmation and text confirmation of your registration. If we don’t receive your Registration Form and Payment before the specified deadline, you may be added to our waiting list.

Sign In:
Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the official start time to sign-in and mingle. We will begin promptly at 5:00pm.

The Waiting List:
To ensure an even balance of men and women, if you do not sign in at least 15 minutes before the event starts, your spot will be given to the top name on the waiting list. If you are on the waiting list, we ask that you arrive 30-45 minutes before the start time and let us know that you are present. Feel free to mix and mingle with the other participants beforehand, and keep your fingers crossed...a spot may open up for you. (We may also contact you before the event if we receive a cancellation.)

The Big Event!
On the event date, February 11, Saturday, there will be an equal number of men and women. We facilitate the whole thing so you are guaranteed to meet everyone. To maximize your experience, we hold the events in private or semi-private areas at an upscale venue. We will give each participant a Welcome Pack, including a name tag (with your first name and a number only) and Score Card. A cash bar will be available for soft drinks or something stiffer (please drink responsibly).

We will review the Ground Rules a few minutes before the start time…you do not disclose your last name, where you live or work, phone number, etc. Nor do you ask someone out during the event itself…no pressure!

At the start of the event, everyone puts on a nametag with only your first name and a number. The event is organized so that you will chat, ask questions, and check out the chemistry with everyone in a string of one-on-one conversations lasting 5 minutes each. At the end of the 5 minutes, a bell will ring, and you will have 1 minute to fill out your “Score Card” as to whether you would like to see that person again in the future. The men will then move to the next seat.

The process continues until everyone has met. Half way through there will be a short break where you may refill your drinks, stretch, etc. When all the men have met all the women, you hand in your completed “Score Card” to the host. The event itself will last for about two and a half hours. You are then welcome to stay and mingle for a while, take the opportunity to meet other fabulous people who are there to meet others just like you, and learn more about the New Castle Jaycees!

It's a Match! (Or two, or three, or more...)
After the event, we will compile the information from everyone's Score Cards to determine who matches up. If two people mutually checked “YES,” then that's a match (odds are you'll have one or more matches). You'll receive a private e-mail within three days of the event listing the first names and e-mail addresses or phone numbers of the people you matched with. From there, it's up to you to contact one another to learn more about each other and set up another date.

Fun Day at Barangay Lapasan

Exoro Events team, together with participating sponsors finally holds its first Christmas event for this year. The Christmas Bazaar at Barangay Lapasan, was an event of yuletide celebration of fun, games, food and surprises to people of Lapasan, especially to the children.

The event was held at Barangay Lapasan Covered Court, which we, personally considered as a strategic place in holding the event considering its vast number of population, people’s active support and participation, lastly, good sound system. We are honored that upon our request, Hon. Omar Labuntog, greatly extend his support on our endeavor. He personally requested to hold the event at the covered court which is located just beside their Barangay Hall. 

After a month of preparation, we were able to launch the event last December 15, Friday and ended on December 16, Saturday. The day started as the staff and crew from different participating establishments were busy installing their booths for their product display and selling, leaflet distribution, as well as posting of marketing material such tarpaulins. The Barangay Lapasan staff added tone to the event as they started to do the “recorrida” or the public announcement using their mobile patrol. This helped us informed the people about the event and invited them to participate on our activities and witness some of the performances from our invited guests.

During the two days, the programme always took place in the middle of the day, as the venue started to gather more audiences. Each kid was given a cute and colorful mask from Dunkin Donuts as they joined, while other people are busy buying food from vendors within the event area. 

The event was graced by the Barangay Lapasan Hon. Omar Labuntog as he gave message to the people… and the rest was followed by fun, fun, fun games and surprises. Different parlor games was set during the day, namely, Bunny Hopping, Bring Me Game, Walk Like A Japanese, Longest Shout, Hoola-hoop dance, Fishing Rod, Trip to Jerusalem and many more. It was really amazing how the people eagerly participated on the games. Not only they had fun, they also received prizes like Sweet Ham from Slers, gift packs of Bambini soap and Biogenic alcohol from Romgenson Marketing, and assorted donuts from Dunkin Donuts. The spirit of Christmas won’t be complete without the sweet smiles of children as they receive assorted toys as their prizes too.

Far from more than having fun-filled afternoon of games, the day was heat up as our guests, Tablon Dance Company and The Shadow; both dance competition finalists showcased their best performances on the dance floor with their hip-hop moves, and groovy music. But nothing could be more jaw dropping with the world class presentation from Latin Premiero as they danced the Pasa Doble and Jazz. We were so entertained and fascinated with their grace, pose and liftings which made the crowd requested for more. Well, the performers were so kind that they granted the peoples request and danced for the third time!

The event won’t be made possible without the support of the Lapasan Barangay Hall members and staff, and also to our sponsors, who generously provided us with the prizes. Our deepest gratitude to Slers Industries, Dunkin Donuts, Coca –Cola Bottlers Phils, Nature’s Spring Water, More Bites Pizza, Romgenson and Parasat Digital.

We from Exoro Events hoped that this would be the start of a good partnership in events organizing.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

How to Celebrate Chinese New Year

All creations are reborn in New Year ’s Day, a Chinese proverb says. It is a celebration of change. The Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year because it is based on a combination of the lunar and solar movements. New Year begins on January 23rd in 2012. It is the Year of the Dragon.

The events that occurred during New Year’s Day may impact your life for the rest of the year so better be careful in your actions. Be selective with what you eat and greet people who will bring you joy. To ensure a prosperous and healthy year, you should enhance and stimulate positive energy flow at home, at your business and at work.

Greet others with "Gung Hey Fat Choy" which means "Wishing You Prosperity and Wealth".

Give two lee see’s to each child. Because happiness comes in two’s, do not just give one. This is your way of passing good luck to the next generation. Business owners also give lee sees to employees and associates.

Wear brand new clothes - preferably in red. Children should wear new clothes with new shoes.

Throughout the New Years season, certain foods are served because they symbolize abundance and good fortune. Besides preparing special dishes, tangerines and oranges are often passed out to children and guests, as they symbolize wealth and good luck.

An important tradition on New Year's Eve is for families to gather together and spend the evening preparing Chinese dumplings (Jiaozi). According to Chinese Culture Guide Jun Shan, it is common to hide a coin in one of the dumplings. Whoever gets the dumpling with the coin will supposedly have good luck in the coming year.

As you prepare for this important holiday, think of the changes you want to make in your life ... perhaps spend more time with your family, reduce your credit card debts or pursue a new interest. Gung Hey Fat Choy ... and Happy New Year!

Model-O-Mania's Help for Sendong Victims in CDO

Approximately 270 affected families whose houses and properties where totally washed out by typhoon Sendong are sheltered at Upper Balulang covered court located beside the Xavier Heights Barangay Hall.

Yesterday, January 11, 2012, these families were visited by  Exoro Events Organizer Ronilen Robas Alas together with PS2 Station Commander Police Senior Inspector Elmer Feliciano Robas with his staff to turn over relief goods such as clothing, rice, noodles, kitchen wares and assorted toys for the kids. Zoe Botwin and some of his models were there to assist in this worthy endeavor, not only through giving out material needs but appeasing the victims anguish by their smiles.

 Part of the donation comes from the proceeds of the recently concluded Model O mania organized by Exoro Events.

Some of the Barangay officials were present during said event and they are very much grateful with the donations as this will surely help the flood victims.

Moments and activities were captured through the lens of photographer Hink Plenos Ferrer.

Fashion Show For A Cause

The Model- O- Mania, a Fashion Show For A Cause, which was oraganized by Exoro Events and participated by MACDO (Models Association of Cagayan de Oro) held last December 30, 2011 at Club Tilt was a tremendous success.  Thanks to the supportive people of Cagayan de Oro City who joined and participated in the said event.

It was really a night of fun, glamor and style with different mix of crowds just enjoying, keeping up with the beat to show the world that everything’s going to be just fine. A sign that people are starting to pick up the pieces as Cagayan de Oro will STAND and RISE again.  Everybody’s just proud to be a Cagay- anon.

It was a standing room party all night long. Crowds were awed with the models dressed in designer’s apparel donned by fashion icons Guella Raagas Ampong and Ronald Enrico.

And in keeping up with their worthy cause,  Exoro Events Director, Ronilen Robas Alas with Zoe Botwin,  Manager of MACDO, and  in cooperation with COCPO Police Station 2 spearheaded by Police Senior Inspector Elmer Feliciano Robas will be in Balulang, Cagayan de Oro  City tomorrow, January 11, 2012, as they will be donating goods to the affected victims of typhoon Sendong which left the city greatly devastated. 

Sharing is their way of saying thank you and hoping you will still be there on their future events!
