Thursday, April 29, 2021


It's 2021 and those properties in the south actually has become very appealing. The proximity to Metro Manila and the peace and quiet is really attractive for those who prefer a slight slow of pace or less of the noise in the city.

It should be affordable, accessible and independent. What that means is that it's priced right, set in a community conducive for living especially if you're raising a family. Independent in a sense that you can thrive and live without the need to go to other densely populated areas in order to get essentials for your home.

Bria Homes Astra residents would enjoy their own clubhouse , swimming pool, gym, function halls and just about anything that the developer and HOA agree on. Albeit a lot different than the usual city occupied condo units, the homes are both modern and contemporary enveloped in green spaces, trees and playgrounds where your kids could socialize (sans pandemic). Astra Vertical Villages are also very near restaurants, malls, churches, schools, all of which makes it highly livable and perfect for those who are finding communities their wife and kids would enjoy too, especially young families.

BRIA Homes President Red Rosales puts this as a very good ground as they expand the Astra market and says “BRIA’s Astra Vertical Villages located in Calamba and General Trias will answer the need safe, secure communities and the comforts of modern living. Aside from that, it's exactly what families can start with or live forever in, plus it's affordable. People can really find this a good investment."

Thanking the special people in your life is the greatest gift you can give them during this season. Although we're all locked up and in mumbo jumbo quarantine, our families have always been there for us. Jollibee has always connected with Filipinos for years now, and this time, they're going to make you say what you haven't been telling them.

 




Director Joel Ruiz who did this commercial says "Given the challenges this pandemic, we Pinoys have shown our love for family. I am greatful to be part of this project that champions Filipino families. It is my first time to work with Anne, we used real families as models and it was nice to see them naturally act, real authentic emotions that they share with each other."

Anne says "I was really nervous doing this because of the pandemic, being a Mom now you want to be with you family and he helped me to geyt through this, and now we get to see the final product that's full of joy, full of love. I was teary eyed to be surprised with a message from my family in Australia, I really miss them (she cries) since its been a long time since I haven't seen them. Being a Mom, my life has been changed. You know your time in real life, you realize how precious it is spent with them. I think I'm overwhelemed with the amount of support and love I'm getting from people, I really appreciate that."

Edric and Joy Mendoza, Anne Curtis and Francis Flores from Jollibee also had us listen to them when they went live on Facebook. During that session, they shared their experiences bringing up their kids and how they want their families to grow even during your lowest times. Jollibee being a brand spreads joy and this is an opportunity for them to focus on good things we have during these hard times. This campaign is certainly timely, powerful and relevant.

Jimuel Pacquiao, Nio Tria, Analain Salvador, Ashton Salvador, Alyanna Angeles Joins GOLD SQUAD PLUS


More artists are being introduced now as Star Magic and ABSCBN are ramping up their line of programs and the need for talents are evident as some of them have jumped ship (and we can't blame them either because they need to make a living). These guys and gals are promising but what we found out was... they were no strangers to the showbiz industry. 


Jimuel Pacquiao is of course the son of boxing great Manny Pacquiao and Jinkee Pacquiao. Nio Tria is the son of character actress Cherry Pie Picache. Analain Salvador and Ashton Salvador are both cousins of teen king Daniel Padilla. Alyanna Angeles on the other hand is a former child star and is now embarking on showbiz now that she's a bit older of course. They were all very smart, eloquent while being thrown questions by the press and we did enjoy the evening with them. They will be now part of the GOLD SQUAD PLUS group together with other teen stars which they introduced a couple months ago. Being part of this wasn't that easy and some of them were really nervous, they were asked how they feel now that they are officially launched.

Jimuel says "I was kinda nervous at first but I'm thankful as I get to make a name for myself now and perhaps be off the shadow of my Dad."

Nio says "Being a part of this surprised me, and being a Kapamilya, I had to ask her about it and I wanted to do my best now that I am part of Squad Plus."

Analain says "When I first heard it from my Aunt, I was ecstatic. To show talent and pursue my passion for acting, I am also happy to know that I'm with my brother too."

Ashton says "Admittedly I was nervous and speechless about entering the industry, even now I am a little afraid, but of course I am excited to enter showbiz too."

Alyanna says "Well I'm very thankful that even if it is during the pandemic, we were given the opportunity to be part of the Gold Squad Plus."

Here's part of the blog conference we had with them a few days ago



For now, make sure you catch them on KUMU during Mondays and the shows they are planning to have with them soon. Thanks to ABSCBN PR for allowing us to get to know them. Thank you!

WCOPA Champ Enzo Morales Shares Secrets to Success

Sunday, April 25, 2021


 

Filipinos have been known to be very talented singers around the world. Our beginnings have always been that story of our parents egging us to sing during family gatherings, and new artist Enzo Morales has had about the same fate. To tell that he's musically inclined is shortchanged. His family has always exposed him with the love for music and also, encouraged him to sing. 

Though talented, he's always had this notion of insecurity. He wasn't too keen in joining contests like what usual amateur singers would do in the country. After joining choirs in primary and secondary school, he was urged to join a school competition during his senior year, and that landed him 1st Runner Up. It was then that made him think to pursue greater things in singing. 

 Later on, he decided to audition for something big. It was for the World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA) in 2014. He passed the auditions to represent the country and got mentored by former champ and singing phenom  Jed Madela. He says "I knew then that I had to use the gift and share it with people. In the competition, I was glad to have been able to represent the country and we bagged four awards in that stint. The WCOPA surely wouldn't be my last, and I am open to more opportunities that would come." This resulted in him winning one gold, one silver and two bronzes for the country.

When he got back to the country, he had the opportunity to perform in different radio and TV stations like DZRH, the Eagle network, participate in ASOP (A Song of Praise) competition, guest at DZMM Teleradyo, Wish FM and Walang Tulugan with Master Showman Kuya Germs.

Currently, Enzo Morales finished his Bachelors degree in Psychology from Far Eastern University and is working as a flight attendant for the nation's official carrier Philippine Airlines. He also continues to hone his craft by joining Center for Pop Music Philippines and Star Magic Workshops. 

His advice for those pursuing their dreams of becoming a professional singer is that "You need to practice, surround yourself with people that have the same passion as yours. I feel alive singing, it gives me that adrenaline rush when I am in front of a crowd. Each time I do, I feel like I'm a different person bringing different emotions on stage. Know who you are as an artist and people will adore and support you in your journey."

That makes a lot of sense. If you want to know more about the artist, you'll get to see him more events soon. He's very talented and surely, he's going to give honor to the country even more.

I personally love the different fruity flavors of Mentos but have also grown to like the AIR Action and Spearmint flavors too. It kinda falls on what mood I'm on in different days and yes, I'm sure that I'm not alone when I say that it's been a huge hit for years that, you probably grew up with it. This promo that they're having is just a good way to remind you to CHOOSE FRESH especially this summer. It's pretty hot in here and the pandemic has kept us in cramped, tight spaces, we need something that can cool us down, to feel like we're on a vacation even with a simple thing as a piece of Mentos. It's also meant to be shared and honestly, I'm going to give away some of these to frontliners here in my neighborhood so that they'll have something to feel happy about, even for just a few minutes. I want people to feel they're appreciated at times when they feel like the world's about to fall apart especially in this part of the globe.

 



 

Up for grabs in the promo are choices between Potato Corner or Chatime Vouchers (for week 1), Prepaid Load of Pocket Wifi (week 2), iTunes or Netflix Vouchers (for week 3) and an 8th Gen iPad or Smart TV (on week 4). Now if you actually win the Grand Prize, your choices would be a chilly vacation in Baguio City's The Manor Hotel or Batangas' dreamy Acuaverde Beach Resort. Think of it, you'll get away and spend chilly nights with a cup of coffee in hand and a fireplace, or spend the whole day frolicking in the sand and swimming in the crystal clear waters off the coast. See what I said about being the boss?


To join the actual raffle, you need to buy any of these Mentos rolls then keep the receipt as that would be the convenient proof of purchase that you need to also include in the raffle.

Meet the New Mi 11 Lite


One of the leading smartphone manufacturers Xiaomi Philippines has launched the newest addition to the Mi 11 family, they call it the Mi 11 Lite. It's young, fresh and hip, designed for young trendsetters in mind and donnes an ultra slim and light design. The actual unit only weighs 159 grams and the form only is around 6.81mm thin. If you compare that with things that have come out recently, this is definitely one of the lightest. The grip on the other hand isn't flimsy and don't be fooled, this is a pretty powerful phone. 


It has a Qualcomm SM7150 Snapdragon 732G processor and is octa core.It comes in 8GB+128GB variant of storage and memory. The triple camera setup comes with a 64 MP f/1.8 wide main camera, an 8 MP wide angle lens (ultrawide) and a 5 MP f/2.4 which can do macro shots for those closeup things you do for food. The battery is also fast charging at 33W so you can do more things in less time, plus it has a  4250 mAh capacity which can last you the whole day.

The front camera is 16 MP, pretty decent to take selfies with. The video capability of this stays on HD range at 1080p 30fps and 720p 120fps, perhaps enough for online content. When I said young earlier, they got the colors very fancy and called it Boba Black, Bubblegum Blue and Peach Pink. The Mi 11 Lite 8GB+128GB variant is only Php 14,990. You can now purchase it via authorized Mi Stores and their partner retailers nationwide. It is also available online at their official stores in Lazada and Shopee.

See IKEA's Life at Home

Saturday, April 24, 2021



What does your home look like? What do you think your home needs in order to make it better? How do you live your life at home?

As you know, IKEA is set to open its doors in Pasay City soon. But before that, IKEA wants to know these too so that they would be able to bring modern furniture design that could help Filipinos thrive at home. This helps them understand what we need so they made the effort to talk to several locals who will benefit with IKEA opening at the SM Mall of Asia grounds soon. It's why they had the Life at Home series launched in their official Facebook page recently.

They now know that eating and sleeping is pretty much cookie cutter but there are really stark differences when it comes to culture because we're very sentimental, and always have extended family at home. Your grandma for instance play a role in the lives of everyone in the family, which is not common for other EU or US households and they talked to Filipinos about it. 

Georg Platzer the Store Manager of IKEA Pasay City says "The four dimensions that help us define home are: the people we live with, the things we own, the amount of space we have and the place we live in. Home is a feeling. This fascination helps us to better understand people’s needs, dreams, and challenges, especially for the new markets we enter like the Philippines."

If you want to know more about how they did it, check out the videos here and their website. You would learn a lot how IKEA studies are conducted in the Philippines.

JULIE ANNE SAN JOSE and DAVID LICAUCO Brews Romance in HEARTFUL CAFE

Thursday, April 22, 2021


 

It was a fun evening to be with Pop star Julie Anne San Jose and the hunky David Licauco. They're having a new show startingthis Monday called Heartful Cafe and it was supposed to be shown on GMA News TV a couple months back, but they wanted it to be done on prime time now and on the main GMA channel, this is good news no?

Julie says "I am so glad this transitioned to GMA and is going to be shown in prime time. It only means that it would be shown to even more people, and I'm excited for them to see our story."

David says "This character is not so far from who I am in real life, I am a jokester, a simply guy who wants to have fun (a little bit of a player), just a slight difference in the family. But we almost do have the same characteristics."



Julie plays Heart who is a matchmaker in the series. David on the other hand is a little bit of a playboy, a little fresh and good looking so he gets away with trouble if he gets into it. We can't spoil much of the story because it would be better if you watch the show, here's part of our interview with them this evening. I like the other characters  portrayed by Jamir Zabarte, Victor Anastacio, Aira Mariano, Zonia Mejia and they will make this a little sweeter because they have their own pairs in the show.


Make sure you watch GMA Telebabad this Monday! It'll be so good you'll have a cup or more servings of this sow.

2021 GINEBRA Jersey and Cap Collection Launch "Bagong Tapang sa One Ginebra Nation"

This is one of the most awaited events of the year and because of the pandemic, things have not been as normal as they should be. Ginebra San Miguel won't be beat so they now are launching the 2021 Ginebra Jersey and Cap Collection which was done through a live stream on their official Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/BarangayGinebra. This is their first virtual launch dedicated to all their consumers and appearing during the event are Ginebra superstars #5 LA Tenorio, #6 Scottie Thompson, #47 Mark Caguioa, #11 Stanley Pringle and #25 Japeth Aguilar. Participating products include GSM Blue, Ginebra San Miguel Premium Gin, Vino Kulafu, Ginebra San Miguel, Primera Light Brandy, and Anejo Gold Rum. Ginebra has always believed in the Filipino spirit and through this campaign, they want you to embody the "Bagong Tapang" we need to survive this pandemic and become the worthy people our loved ones believe in when times are rough. 

 

I played the online basketball shootout and managed to drop some shots.

Ginebra also launched their own website for this particular campaign over at https://1ginebranation.com. It's got information about their beverages, some basketball games, photos of previous Ginebra teams which have been collected through the years and the full mechanics on how to get the Jersey and Caps that are part of this collection. 

Emmanuel Macalalag the COO for Spirits of San Miguel Food and Beverage Inc. and GM of Ginebra says "The need for unity to rise beyond challenges, this is what Ginebra and the Gin Kings embodies. The passion for the game, the never die spirit can serve as an inspiration for many Filipinos. We partnered with Gawad Kalinga to help Filipinos, as every Jersey and Cap claimed will support programs of this organization."

 


The challenge of the bubble conference of the PBA also was hard for all the professional basketball players and the Ginebra Kings is also part of that. The experience of doing the bubble made them even closer as it forced them to live together for the duration of the conference. They even dedicated all their games to their loved ones, and to the thousands of fans they have across the country. The players also are hopeful that everything would be back to normal, and wish for everyone's safety.



Now how do you get the Jersey and Caps? What do you need to do to get one?

You need to collect 6 Caps of any participating brand under Ginebra San Miguel and pay 100 for the shirt and 150 for the cap to get them. I saw how the players wore them during the launch and I'm eyeing the Caguioa Jersey and Cap myself <3 You then can get it via participating Puregold branches nationwide!

As you can see it's so easy to actually get one, they really made it that way so they could help the organization they are supporting and as a THANK YOU for all their fans. Now what else is there to do but to get your own products, use the caps and exchange them for the collectible Jerseys and Caps plus the corresponding amount you have to pay for. Just the thought of it going to the NGO makes me so happy that they thought about it during this time. They chose to help, and that is even worth more than their recent championship!


Congratulations Ginebra!
