Bohol's JAM 403 Mesmerizes in Maldives

JAM 403, one of Bohol’s most celebrated acoustic trio is back in town after playing a repertoire of mostly jazz & bossa nova for a month at the Ellaidhoo Maldives By Cinnamon, the undisputed unrivaled superior Maldives beach resort that offers the ultimate tropical vacation with its cozy accommodations and luxurious amenities.

Lead vocalist Krizia Marie Gango described the resort as an island paradise in Alifu Alifu Atoll surrounded by gently swaying palm trees, white sandy beaches and a turquoise lagoon.  She said JAM 403 was invited to provide the resort’s live entertainment through the recommendation of fellow Boholana Kelly Dee Borja who worked at the resort as Guest Relations Executive.

Krizia chimed in that she and bandmates JV Rama & Frank Ungab had the best time during their Maldives gig.

A Russian couple was so impressed that

they were booked as wedding entertainers.  

“It never felt like work at all. It was more like a one- month long all- expense paid vacation. We only played during evenings six days a week and we had the whole day to enjoy the island’s facilities like guests.”

"More than the opportunity to perform at another side of the world, the best thing about the experience was forging friendships and creating memories that would last a lifetime”

BOHOL PRIDE: Chef Maggie, Krizia & Kelly Dee 

In that upscale and luxurious island paradise, two other Boholanas reign supreme there. One is Chef Maggie Agenar whose culinary creations especially her salads are raved by guests. The other one is Kelly Dee Borja whose warmth and innate charm makes her perfect for interacting and assisting the resort guests.

Rose Rara Sarabosing Marks Her 60th

 Ma’am Rose embraces  new phase in her life

It was an extraordinary celebration befitting a queen. 

Considered by many as a queen when it comes to the king's language, Rosalina Rara Sarabosing, one of Your Roving Eye’s favorite and closest mentors during his college and post- graduate studies marked her diamond birthday bash at the fabulous Alona Tropical Beach Resort’s Baybayon Restaurant that offers a spectacular view of the stretches of white sands of Alona Beach in Panglao.

ADORING STUDENTS

Your Roving Eye and throngs of other graduates like Judge Jennifer Chavez Marcos, quondam beauty queen Fiel Angeli Araoarao-Gabin, Mary Ruth Dancel- Gango, educator Ramon Boloron & songstress/ actress Lailette Geulen who have been enrolled in her classes remember being enamored with how she uses words to weave a tapestry of magic to prove a point.

For many of her former students, Ma'am Babes is more than a teacher. She is like a mother hen to many of us and Your Roving Eye can attest how she helped when he was just starting out as an emcee in many campus events. She also mentored and encouraged many of us when it came to the nuances of writing.

Four of her five children Kino & spouse Shawee, Lisha & hubby Angelo Yuguing, Ton and Isah Mariah came home to celebrate the occasion with friends and family. US- based Kira Sarabosing- Poquita greeted her mom via a video recorded message. JAM 403 Acoustic provided the musical entertainment that alternated between soothing bossa nova & party music.

 With Krizia Gango, Aya Montero& Deo Guden

As Maam Babes or Rose, if you will, acquire her second citizenship with a birthday cake from the city and free tickets to movies, her adoring students & loved ones wish her nothing but good health and may she embrace the new phase in her life with the beauty and magic of lessons learned and imparted. 

Happy birthday again Maam Babes!

Ryan Sines: Bohol's Top Hairstylist

Ryan Sines, Bohol's popular & well- loved hairstylist and ultimate BFF, marks his birthday every 1st of September

This year, the movable feast day for Lindaville Subdivision where Ryan has reigned supreme for the past 24 years fell on September 7 and so it was decided that he hit two birds with one stone

What a meaningful double celebration for Nayr as he is fondly called by friends, family and frenemies

It was a heady mix of friends from childhood, from school and from the beauty & fashion scene where Ryan is in great demand for the way he weaves magic and beauty to every girl’s crowning glory

MANE MAVEN

Yes, Ryan is Bohol’s numero uno when it comes to stunning hairstyling. Women, men and even those from in- between including Bohol’s top socialites, beauty queens, models, brides and debutantes have availed of his services

When 2010 Miss Universe runner up Venus Raj flew in to Bohol to grace the 2013 Miss Panglao Pageant, it was only apt that the honor of making up her fabulous hairdo would naturally go to Ryan Sines  

Beauty & The Best

It’s always a stress- free moment with Ryan when he is busy with your tresses. 

He never fails to put a smile on your faces when he gives out his jokes 

FABULOUS FOOD. FANTASTIC FACES. 

Sinfully Sweet
