What's A Ukulele?

I have once mistaken a ukulele into a guitar. Both have a number 8 body shape though ukuleles are also available in a non-standard shape, such as cutaway shape and an oval, usually called a "pineapple" ukulele. Ukuleles are also smaller and it only has 4 courses of strings. Ukulele is sometimes abbreviated as uke and is actually a member of the lute family of instruments. Some known and good ukulele brands  are Alvarez, Alfred, Diamond Head, Hal Leonard and more. 

MOLITO's COOL SUMMER – Ice Cream, Desserts and More Festival 2016!

I'm sure you'll all agree with me that this year is by far the hottest summer ever. Mr. Sun is surely doing its job pretty well. But without a doubt, summer is still one of the most awaited seasons every year, right? 

It's during this season that we get to go on vacation getaways, spend more time with our loved ones, get reunited with some important people in our lives, have fun and of course eat! The scorching summer heat is more than enough reason to munch on some of summer's all-time favorite food like halo-halo and ice cream to name a few. 

Recognizing this situation that us Filipinos go through every summer, Molito Alabang launches its very first COOL SUMMER – Ice Cream, Desserts and More Festival 2016. It aims to bring the whole family together in a fun-filled and entertaining event that would make summer really enjoyable.

The Molito Lifestyle Center is a truly a perfect spot. Situated in the affluent locale of Alabang in Muntinlupa City, the name MOLITO is actually a Spanish word which connotes a “little mall”. It’s peaceful and breezy ambiance is perfect for relaxation, family dining, get-togethers, business meetings or to just simply chill the night out while having your favorite drink or coffee. Indeed, Molito is a place for those who want to lighten up away from the crowd.

Molito has a colorful floor fountain that matches the beautiful green lawn where children can play and the landscape is very conducive to casual chilling amidst the night wind. 

The Molito Cool Summer Fest 2016 will gather different ice cream manufacturers, distributors and specialty stores. Aside from ice creams, other related-products such as desserts and sweets will be

highlighted. There will be booths from the exhibitors and sponsors showcasing their products. Visitors will be surely delighted with the free products (samples), games, raffle and live music entertainment from guest bands. Admission is free.
