Wow, what a night! SideQuest: Cafe + Hobby Lounge in Pasig City was absolutely buzzing as Gamer Girls Philippines (GGP) threw one of the most epic gaming events ever — Beauty & Buffs: Level Up Inside & Out.
With over 100 gamers packed into the venue, the atmosphere was nothing short of electric. Everyone was smiling, making new friends, and celebrating our love for gaming. Powered by VALORANT and backed by amazing sponsors, it was a night I won’t forget anytime soon!
Star-Studded Fun and High Energy
Keeping the vibes up all night was none other than the energetic Coach Abby! She kept us hyped and entertained like a pro. And it wasn’t just the games keeping the excitement alive — some of our favorite creators were there too! I couldn’t believe it when I saw Johan, Een, and Charess in person. They were so nice, and while I didn’t have the courage to approach them for a selfie, just seeing them up close was already a fan-girl dream come true.
Epic Giveaways and Fantastic Prizes
Okay, let’s talk about the giveaways. Because WOW — the prizes were insane. A PlayStation 5, a PlayStation 2, and even a sleek TTRacing standing desk were up for grabs. And guess what? I actually won a Genshin Impact – Klee Impression Backpack! I couldn’t believe my luck. On top of that, everyone went home with awesome Valorant goodies and cute sticker packs. Safe to say, I left with my arms (and heart) full!
A Stylish Surprise: GGP x BLCKBOX.GG Collab Merch
Just when I thought the night couldn’t get any better, GGP unveiled their collab merch with BLCKBOX.GG! The oversized hoodie and the cute tee are seriously next-level. Comfortable, stylish, and totally gamer chic — I’m definitely eyeing that hoodie for my next gaming session. Perfect for those cozy nights in!
Discovering MAONO: Your New Audio Companion
Another highlight? Meeting MAONO Philippines! They introduced their line of pro-quality microphones, and I was genuinely impressed. Whether you’re a podcaster, streamer, or just like to sound like a boss on voice chat, MAONO’s gear has you covered. Studio-quality sound with no complicated setup? Yes, please!
Gaming Fun with Cookie Run: Braverse TCG
And then there was Cookie Run: Braverse TCG. I got to try my hand at this adorable trading card game, and it was so much fun! The game masters were there to teach us the ropes, and they made it easy to dive right in. Plus, we all got our own starter packs to take home — which means more TCG battles are definitely in my future.
A Celebration of Women in Gaming
But beyond the giveaways and games, what really made the night special was the feeling of community. The room was full of empowered women, supportive allies, and passionate gamers all coming together. Beauty & Buffs was a true celebration of how far we’ve come in the gaming world, and I left with so much gratitude for being part of it.
As I walked out with my Valorant goodies and that amazing bag I won (still can’t get over it!), I couldn’t stop smiling. Events like this remind me just how incredible the gaming community can be. Here’s to more nights like this — full of joy, laughter, and epic loot!
