MYOH 2014
I strongly recall my first encounter with Make Your Own Havaianas (MYOH) back in 2007. Fond memories of learning, laughter and love – but that’s another story. Haha! But kidding aside, I’m glad to say I’ve grown up with MYOH!
Customize Your Own Pair!
MYOH lets you have fun by giving you the freedom to customize your very own pair of Havaianas! Choose your own sole and strap color and make it look even cooler by adding a few pins. I had a hard time picking a combination!
Assembling a pair in MYOH
From 2007, 5 MYOH events forward as an assembler, I am in front of the counter for the first time and it felt really exciting. Here’s Jay helping me make my pair!
MYOH 2014
MYOH definitely knows how to bring it on bigger and better! This year, it was held in the Glorietta Activity Center and the MYOH 2014 family got bigger as well! See what we down during the Media Launch!
Yuki Tansengco
Make Your Own Havaianas (MYOH) ran from May 8 to May 11 in the Glorietta Activity Center. The media launch, held two days earlier, felt like a summer party in the city! Havaianas definitely brough Brasil to Manila with the festive dance numbers and yummy entrees.
MYOH 2014 pins
The theme of the pins this year is all about Brasil! Having originated from there, the MYOH media launch had capoeira, dance numbers, snacks and festive headpieces for everyone. It was super fun!
How To Make Your Pair
Each attendee was given an MYOH menu where they can pre-select their sole and strap color plus the pins. Once they’ve decided, they fall in line and hand it to the assembler. This is Jay working hard on mine! Game face ON!
Hosted by DJ Chino Lui Pio
You see their creative headpieces? The launch truly embodied the Brazilian lifestyle and the fun nature of the brand. Obrigado!
With fellow bloggers Ava Te and Ana Gonzales
The launch was graced by celebrities and members of the press. Shoutout to 2 of my favorite bloggers momma Ava and Bloggers United pioneer Ana! 🙂
Make a wish! | Bonfims
SO COOL – we were even given these bonfims to tie around our wrists. Saying goes, tie 3 knots, once the bracelet comes off – your wish will be granted! Can you read whats on my bonfim?
With Lynch, PR of Havaianas
Obrigado, Lynch! Thank you for having us! I enjoyed the launch because it was so festive and the venue was bigger than Rockwell Tent!
With my I Am Meg girl, Julz Savard
It was good seeing a lot of familiar faces who also love Havaianas! Here with me in the photo is Save Me Hollywood vocalist and our I Am Meg host Julz Savard!
Nikita Conwi and Yuki Tansengco
My partner in crime, radio jock of RX, Nikita Conwi! We love our feathered headpieces – as if we came to party the Brazilian way! 🙂
Thank you to my assembler Jay!
What I love most about MYOH is the amazing team behind it! The assemblers are so engaging and really know the brand well. Thank you Jay!!!
My MYOH 2014 pair
For this year, I chose the commemorative pair with a white strap! It’s only available during MYOH so I had to get one. Look at the pins I chose! The red hot chili pepper is my favorite :))
MYOH 2014 Team
It was so nice seeing old and new faces during MYOH! I love how its work but doesn’t feel like it cos its so fun and you really enjoy with your colleagues. Thank you for the warm welcome, guys! 🙂
With Gary Villanueva of Creative Juice and Ammiel De Leon of Terry SA
With my former MYOH bosses! Hehe! Congratulations for the very successful event and I’m thankful to become part of it! I learned a lot from Sir Gary and Sir Ammiel when I was with the team. I am definitely looking forward to MYOH Year 8! 🙂
