Love and luck at Araneta Center
MANILA, Philippines - Celebrate love and luck at the Araneta Center in Quezon City starting today until Sunday.
Usher in the Year of the Metal Tiger with dragon and lion dances all around the country’s premier lifestyle hub.
Firecrackers will be set off to chase away “bad” luck while spectacular fireworks displays will light up the Quezon City skyline to delight shoppers and diners during the three days.
On Feb. 14, witness a grand dragon dance to welcome the third sign in the Chinese Zodiac known for its courage. A fearless and fiery fighter, the Tiger is revered by the ancient Chinese as the sign that wards off the three main disasters: fire, thieves and ghosts.
Marvel at nimble wushu performers as they demonstrate this sport derived from traditional Chinese martial arts at the Green Gate of the Araneta Coliseum.
Meet and greet the 24 official candidates of the Bb. Pilipinas 2010 pageant at the new Ali Mall and at the Green Gate afterwards.
Get to know this year’s most beautiful Filipinas and have pictures taken with them while enjoying the various activities in the Center.
Put some sparkle in her eyes with flowers, sweet music, and dazzling fireworks — all within easy reach during the Valentine weekend.
Treat her to a day of shopping at Gateway, Ali Mall, or Farmers Plaza in Araneta Center. Fashion items, shoes, accessories, kitchen utensils, and even toys at 20 to 50 percent off.
Woo her with flowers as you settle down for dinner or some coffee and sweets, while enjoying soft, sweet music from the roving musicians at the Coliseum Circle and Ali Mall.
Better yet, let Side A, Freestyle, and Nina serenade her with love songs tonight at their “Love2Love2Love” pre-Valentine concert at the Araneta Coliseum.
If relaxing acoustics and jazz music are what she wants, take her to the Times Square Food Strip and Courtyard for some soothing entertainment in the next three days. Ask her to turn her eyes toward the sky as the stunning fireworks display at 7 p.m. every night of the Valentine weekend will surely sweep her off her feet.
