It was a really fun evening to talk to the cast and production of the upcoming romcom flick Wheel of Love presents "Weekend to Remember". This new show was made and created by the almost the same people behind the hit BL series "My Extraordinary" which garnered a couple million views a few months ago under Asterisk Entertainment. The series will also be shown on the Asterisk Entertainment YouTube Channel starting this Sunday (today!) at 7PM.
Truth be told, some of the cast members also appeared in the previous show and we got the preview the pilot episode (which you will get to watch today). The show also has no specific lead stars, but more of an ensemble cast which would be quite good since they can cover a lot of things during storytelling. Wheel of Love presents "Weekend to Remember" will be composed of several love stories that talks about young love, hetero and gay relationships. In a nutshell, it's about a family where the Asuncion brothers will be involved in different connections that might all blow up during a special occasion done during the weekend, hence the title.
I got to ask a few questions during the livestreamed media conference yesterday and talked to Nico Nicolas and Kristine Hammond who will be doing the hetero type of romance in the story. They're pretty good friends in real life since they're both under Asterisk artist management and these roles would pretty much entail them to become even closer because they'll be falling in love in one way or form. For the two, doing the role of Miguel Asuncion and Jane Del Pilar was comfortable and felt like they were not working at all because the people around them was so much fun to work with. It took off the stress and craziness of doing the shoot during a pandemic and they felt quite taken cared of by the production.
Nico told us "I am really a very shy person, I'm not the type who would tell a partner about my feelings but more of just show it through actions. I don't usually say I love you, or I like you, I just do it if I can. When I met Tin for the first time, it was in an events place in Filinvest. She's very beautiful, her eyes are very attractive and so I didn't have a hard time showing how our characters would fall in love in this series. She's also very kind."
Kristine says "Before we even started shooting, in our short workshops we would often ask what we like about each other. I think we really started connecting from there, I'm really happy that he said that. He's a guy that you can talk to quite easily and quite down to earth. When I arrived in Asterisk, I wasn't able to talk to him as we had different projects and never had time to be together in a project. I already knew who he was because friends were talking about him, and I've grown quite fond of him during the whole filming. Yes, he is indeed boyfriend material."
I can't wait to see how their story will unfold as I think that will be done in future episodes.
The first episode that will be shown today will be touching on a pairing we've seen in the previous series "My Extraordinary". One of the BL stories will be done by Keijee Mesina and John Cortez. Their previous Isaw romance took a turn and became a little more about a boss and a kasambahay/assistant who's become secretly inlove with him. I bet, you'll love how these two will have their love story starts in the first episode entitled Arina Grande. Their funny antics and life like reactions to love like getting giddy, the banter between Keijee and the other help in the house would make this a good continuation of their previous love story. The two are fine actors and you'll be amazed how it'll become something that would span across pronouns or orientation, it will affect you because love is love. It's a hugely successful pairing and I hope there will be something more even after that. I really hope so.
Again, this series stars Nico Nicolas, Sam Cafranca, John Cortez, Hannah Balahadia and Enzo Santiago. They also are with Kristine Hammond, Orly Mejia, Sean Guyamin, Philip Dulla, Ayumi Takezawa, Daryll Rodriguez, Louie Caminade, Tysh Basa, Carl Williams and Keijee Mesina. They are also introducing the good looking Yam Mercado who will be playing an anti hero in this flick.
The series is written by Jaymar Castro and Jaja Amarillo. This is Directed by Jolo Atienza. Their original song "In love ako, In love sayo" sung by Camille Rose Tarrosa is already out on streaming sites and apps so do that while watching the show. Again, make sure you're tuned in 7pm at the AsterisK Entertainment Youtube Channel in the next 8 weeks.
It'll be shown every Sunday so go fall in love with them like I do!
Finding a home these days must be extra difficult because of the pandemic. It's not just in the National Capital Region, but in nearby cities, towns, and it doesn't take a genius to know that it doesn't choose any age, race, health condition, rich or poor, because it can affect anyone. Although that's a huge concern, the real estate market is definitely bullish and judging from what's seen in my social media timeline, properties are cheaper and I think this is the opportune time to get your own home. Settling down takes a lot of effort but you've got to balance a lot of things in considering a community where your family will reside. Aside from the village amenities, you've got to be sure that you are nearby a hospital, school, groceries, your place of work and accessible via normal transportation.
Now BRIA Homes is no stranger to building really good communities. They've got over 50 of them that are strategically located in existing and thriving cities/municipalities that are of high quality. The culinary capital of the Philippines is Pampanga, and over at Barangay Sto. Rosario in Magalang, Pampanga, BRIA Homes has BRIA Homes Magalang.
It's a sprawling 29-hectare property and has got several house models
you can choose from. The Elena (22 sq. m. floor area on a 36 sq. m.
lot), a two-storey townhouse called Bettina (44 sq.m. floor area on a 36
sq.m. lot), and the one with a single firewall called Alecza (36 sq.m.
floor area on an 81 sq.m. lot). BRIA has also staged these units quite
well and have fit in one to two bedrooms, a service area, a dining area,
a living room and its own toilet and bath. If you choose the Bettina
and Alecza, it's got its own carport for those who have automobiles and
need one sheltered. They also have basketball court, a covered court,
several jogging paths, a playground where your kids can enjoy, a guard
house, 24/7 CCTV coverage and a perimeter fence so you have peace of
mind because the community is secured.
Now BRIA Homes wants these properties to be closer to you so they now have partnered with property solutions platform Ohmyhome which has been in the Philippines since last year. Today, you can visit the Ohmyhome website or download the Ohmyhome app so you can look at different properties in BRIA Homes that you would want to get. There are ready-for-occupancy (RFO) house-and-lot units in BRIA Homes Magalang and Ohmyhome can provide assistance if you wish to purchase one in Pampanga or different BRIA Homes properties. Units range from Php 520,000 to Php 1,436,000 and is available through different flexible payment methods plus BRIA Homes Magalang customers get perks such as free move-in fee, loan charges and water and electricity installation.
All you need to do is download the Ohmyhome app or visit their official website and start your quest to find the perfect home for your family there. The DIY option (which of course you can opt for) comes free and the Ohmyhome channels are simple and easy to use, very simple to navigate and find your place of refuge.
You can also opt for the professional assistance too as Ohmyhome offers the services of highly trained agents. But in both processes, Ohmyhome is something you can use that is fast, easy, and very reliable.

Aside from the fun and laughter, they will be also showcasing a few phones like the AI powered TECNO Spark 6 Go which has got a quite large 6.52” HD Resolution Screen, AI Dual Unlock Feature (to use your face or fingerprint to unlock), AI Beauty Mode (to hide those small imperfections), 18 AI Scene Detection (so it would be easy to take photos of things, people, landscapes), 5000 mAh battery (so you can play hours of music and play games) and Audio Share (so you can connect several speakers and devices with one phone).
TECNO Mobile also has the CAMON 16 smartphone which can be availed only through TECNO Mobile partner retail stores. It costs Php 7,990 and has got a main 48MP main camera, quad lenses for wide, bokeh and macro, plus huge RAM and ROM capacity of 128GB+6GB.

They have other phones which can handle gaming and pretty much everyday communication, plus tons more in the pipeline as they listen quite well to consumers and put what we need on their smartphones.
