Wattpad Presents: Maid For Korean Boys

This week's episode for Wattpad Presents is totally cute. For starters, you've got Carl Guevarra, Eula Caballero and Steven Silva as the lead cast. Aside from that, they've all made us a little giddy with their past projects because now, they're fighting over one lady. The premise is, Eula plays the role of a maid who had to serve two Korean masters. One of them knows who she is, and the other only knows her alter ego. You have to watch the show to understand the story of "Maid For Korean Boys", but you know this is going to be sweet in so many ways because the two good looking men will provide a very good challenge.

Eula says "Steven is a little proper, he's toned down and a little serious. Carl on the other had is very funny and I enjoy being with them both. I don't mind falling in love with Koreans but I prefer Pinoys. It's possible but I like how Pinoys look in general. About the title of Wattpad Queen, I am really thankful for Baker King (she jokes!). I think the casting depends on who will do the role, if they can't do it I'll probably get the role. If they can't find one, I'll probably do it too. I'm very grateful because I can practice doing so much characters in a single show. It helps a lot make us do more. I want the feeling of being challenged. I had to do more than my previous roles and they give us the variety of stories, you can't run out of it in Wattpad. I've done almost everything but if I were to do, I'd probably do a horror flick since I've read something funny in Wattpad with that theme. I'm still happy now, I'm happy with my boyfriend and he inspires me to do better. In Wattpad, we're having distinct characters and I hope we're doing the new characters, new interpretations."

Steven Silva says "She's fun to be with because this is the second time. We had a phase to get to know each other. Carl and I already know each other because we've worked in GMA. She's really professional when it comes to her craft and I really appreciate that. About learning Tagalog, actually I have tutors before and I read a lot until now. I am still learning continuously and I hope to get to sing more. The prods make me learn how to dance, I do theater plays and musicals, I did La Cage a few months back and they would tell me they like how I sing. I would be happy but a little sad they didn't get to know it. I have to do my best as one of their talents and artists. I do my best in acting or performing, I look for auditions, I went in Kitchen Musical, I hope they would take notice that I do have other things. Grease was something I auditioned for, and I got into La Cage as lead so it's really a process and I have to do things on my own and not depend on help. It's a very good training ground. I'm looking for management right now and perhaps a new direction, don't get me wrong I haven't been offered anything yet by TV5. I just don't want the next three years to be like my mistakes in the past to repeat, I've learned a lot and GMA has been very good to me, we're still talking. I hope the next few years would be even better for me."

Carl says "This is the second time I've worked with Eula and before, it was a little awkward because we were getting to know each other. Steven and I didn't hang out that much but we always see and greet each other. I've done 5 episodes and I've done the good looking dude always. I wish I could do something ugly, or maybe something gay. I do this per show and I'm happy that I can do things as a freelance artist. I wanted to court Eula but she has a boyfriend (he reveals). Before Cinderella, she was my crush seriously. When I got to work with her, I was too shy actually, but now I'm okay. I'll wait. (then we heard shrieks from the press). Wattpad stories may have some similarities but you have to attack it differently every time. I'm happy that TV5 and Wattpad because I've done a lot, I hope the audience appreciates each thing we do."

TV5's Wattpad Presents: Maid For Korean Boys will be shown 9PM every day on the Kapatid Network. Make sure you don't miss an episode this week as these guys and gal make leveled up kilig moments on the show as you get another dose of romantic comedy simply done their way.

Derrick Monasterio Celebrates Birthday with QC Typhoon Victims

We went to celebrate the birthday of hunky Kapuso actor Derrick Monasterio in a community located at Tatalon, Quezon City. It's one of the most depressed areas in the metro and yes, I have to say there were shanties made of light materials which made most of the community's populace. They were also typhoon victims and I know the place is usually flooded when it rains hard in QC. I haven't been to places like these for a while now so I was a little shocked, but kept it to myself. I guess, just like any other individual, Derrick feels that no matter what they do or do not have... they have the right to be happy. So he went there to share his blessings and entertain them too, rightfully to which... he was surprised to see a lot of them that afternoon in the Multipurpose hall to celebrate with him. 

To host the games, we had Tess Bomb taking care of that. She was really fun and spontaneous as usual. She was really fun and the mom's and teens who were there really enjoyed her antics. Derrick's Mom was also there to say thanks to everyone who went there. She also shared some things about saving up for the rainy days and making sure they don't forget to assure their families of the right education as it's the only way they can ensure their future.

Derrick's Mom wished him the best for his career and continue to help people no matter how big or small that is.

Half Sisters: Thea Tolentino, Derrick Monasterio and Andre Paras

It was a pleasant day to see the stars of upcoming series "Half Sisters". Thea Tolentino who won the second installment of reality show Protege and lead star of Pyra: Ang Babaeng Apoy, plus the hunky lead of many GMA series Derrick Monasterio and promising new comer cum basketball star Andre Paras talked with us during a luncheon in Kimono Ken, Tomas Morato in Quezon City.

First impressions, Andre is so tall, articulate and very accommodating. He wasn't as shy as I expected him to be as he was friendly and didn't bat an eyelash answering questions. He really thought about each one first before blurting out something. His charm might have fallen in his ability to communicate with a very gentlemanly demeanor which I think comes from his right upbringing. He's starting right and this project will be something that'll test how much he's learned during the small workshops here and there.

Derrick even thought he was going to be a little hard to be with but was surprised how funny this guy is. It even came to a point that the Director Mark Reyes had to put them in different places just to stop them from playing antics against each other. That part failed though because the guys still went to the ladies tents later on. Somehow, they already gelled early in the making of this series. Andre plays Benjie Castillo who plays a college jock who's also part of the basketball team. Rich kid but not an anti hero - you'll probably see their characters have a love triangle and or become a foursome during the story. Find out how complicated that is for him and the sisters. That'll be an interesting take on his character.

Barbie Forteza Excited for "Half Sisters"

We saw a very bubbly and perky Barbie Forteza at the GMA Studios a few days ago. This is my first time to see her in person and I must say I already know why people love her. Her stints in various GMA shows like Stairway to Heaven, First Time, Pilyang Kerubin, Tween Hearts, , Nita Negrita, Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin, Luna Blanca and Anna Karenina made her who she is right now. She's done well in these shows which is why GMA is trusting her with another one together with Thea Tolentino (of Pyra), hunky Derrick Monasterio and new boy Andre Paras. The show is entitled "Half Sisters" which is another melodrama that'll be shown worldwide on GMA Pinoy TV. She's excited about the first episode which they have already done taping and says you should watch it so you get to understand the plot of the story. They are sisters but have different fathers, but they won't know yet until after some time. This explains the different treatment between her and the other sister. She plays Diana Alcantara on this project and pretty much, you'll find her in different hardships as she finds out who she really is... and maybe find the answers to her questions.

Speaking of which, Barbie Forteza will also be seen on a weekly webisode on GMANetwork.com named "Barbie in Bloom". It'll be shown either late June or first week of July and she'll be answering some of the most toughest questions thrown at her from social media. She was really game and didn't bat an eyelash on most of them but extremely giggled when the questions were more about her ultimate crush Dennis Trillo. I couldn't blame her though because she's so right about the things she admires about the Kapuso leading man. More so when Dennis Trillo himself wanted to have a project with her, that made her scream a couple of times during this interview.

She also gave time for her fans that afternoon. She did some fansigns for those who also communicated with her online on GMA's channels. In the interview, she mentioned the biggest challenge she's encountered so far... which is just being game all the time. She wants to be bubbly, presentable and pleasing all the time and wants to do this on and off cam. Even if she's tired, she makes it a point to publicly be accommodating. She owes this much to her fans and it's her way of appreciating everything. She also said she'll try to never be late because she wants to get the habit of being professional... something she learned by the likes of veteran actresses Cherie Gil etc. As for her bashers, she just keeps an open mind and reads them still in social media. If it'll help her in the future, she takes it as it is. There will be more of these questions answered like these when you watch the webisodes.

Barbie Forteza is excited when this shows on June 9 right after Eat Bulaga. This is a real case so you'll surely believe the plot according to Barbie. Her character is not the typical heroine who gets beaten up but a woman with sheer eagerness to fight. She fights because it's right... Thea Tolentino was a little soft but she says they worked together to make it even more intense. This is directed by Mark Reyes. Some of it is being filmed in a correctional facility but finds the people quite good there. She found a whole community and was surprised that they were all so nice. She's also going to be seen regularly in Sunday All Stars and she hopes to do the rivalry episodes with Bea Binene. She finds that very challenging and was so glad she got to work with very talented people in that bunch.

She's a pretty girl, with a very promising career already. Make sure you don't miss any episode of "Half Sisters" 2:30 PM weekdays on GMA!

Penshoppe Holiday 2013 for Philippine Fashion Week!

I have been so blessed last Philippine Fashion Week and what gorgeous way continue this series but by showing you the runway looks as if you are in the front row. I've been doing that for years and this time is no different. I bet you are excited as I am about one of the best brands from Golden ABC which has began stamping it's brand internationally. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Penshoppe Holiday 2013!

They opened up the show with sleeved shirts, probably cotton based. It looks light and airy. They paired that together with pants of the same material, the other had cargo pants. The one below had leather and denim jackets together with skinny jeans and a more straight cut faux denim fabric on the latter.I love the shiny look though.

Then they followed up with ladies wearing faux leather skirt, pants, denim skinny jeans, and colors on the guy's pants too.

Key Pieces: Jackets, beanies and Man Bags.

It was at this part where I was kind of recognizing the overall vibe of the collection. It was almost looking like Oxygen because there was only little hints of color then most of it are grays and black. I thought the Brand Director was Alex Mendoza because of the shows of Penshoppe in the past. They are definitely going on a different direction. It was because the new guy was showing us his none edited taste, this is the work of Jeff Bascon aka Jeff Bacons.. no wonder it's looking more adventurous!
