The film also showcases how we shouldn't fail to appreciate small businesses like Sari-Sari Stores around the country. It's an integral par of Aling Puring's movement, which is very Filipino, no matter how you put it. It's one of the reasons why there are stores nearby, always."

SARAH G and Mimiyuuuh Wants you to Show Your Happiness with TNT

If you're watching things online this weekend, chances are, you've already seen the new TNT commercial. The one and only Pop Princess Sarah Geronimo Guidicelli and the roar induced YouTube phenom Mimiyuuuh appeared in a new music video to enjoin Filipinos to find their happiness amidst these challenging times.

They call it "Tuloy ang Saya!" (Continue the Fun!) and in it, they collaborate in a fun song and dance number that showcases how one can be happy and finish work in very simple ways. Like for example, talking to loved ones on messaging apps, or spending countless hours perfecting that dance number on TikTok, playing lots of games online, even learning crafty stuff on YouTube or getting online stores up and start a business, the possibilities are endless!

According to Sarah, she says "I'm extremely happy that I got to come back with a project together with Mimiyuuuh. The importance of this lies on the message on how much we've managed to weather through hardships, continue to grow."

Mimiyuuh has expressed joy about this collaboration and says "I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with Sarah G. especially about how it celebrates the good traits of Filipinos, because at the end of the day, TNT, Tuloy ang Saya! (Continue the Happiness!)." If you want to join the fun, go post your own dance videos at TikTok and use the hashtags #TNTuloyAngSaya.

Here's some of the behind the scenes photos from the shoot:

If you're with TNT, they have a new promo called Sulit Affordaloads. You can choose between Pantawid 10, SurfSaya 20 and All Star Data 50 that also has a Free TikTok for All with it. So go dial *123# and choose the best data, call or text promos from the options there. TNT is also covered by Smart, so you've got the widest coverage in the country.

This is epic!

RIA ATAYDE's Back In Primetime on VIRAL SCANDAL

She's one of the most beautiful actresses in the Philippines and yes, she's going back to primetime programming in their new show called VIRAL SCANDAL. It's a social drama set to be shown this coming November 15th in ABSCBN partner networks like the Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, iWant TFC, TFC, and Jeepney TV. This will also be shown on A2Z Channel 11 and
TV 5 on free to air broadcast channels.

The series is directed by Dado Lumibao and Froy Allan Leonardo. It's about the story of a young girl who got involved in a scandalous video. It has torn her family apart, and changed the lives of so many people. Ria plays Laura Dizon who's primary aim is to get those who have done this, their time in court, and get justice.

It's been a while since Ria played someone pivotal as her last one was Parasite Island back in 2019. She's gotten to work with a lot of talented actors, veterans whom she have been able to throw lines with. I can't wait to see more of Ria this time since it's an intense gripping drama. She's one of the most accomplished actresses in the country with top rating primetime series like Ninging, My Dear Heart,
Halik, and episodes of Maalaala Mo Kaya (of which she won 2016 PMPC Best New Female TV Personality). Ria also appeared in high grossing "Can We Still Be Friends", The Girl In the Orange Dress, The Hows of Us and Love or Money which most of which are under Star Cinema. She also is the face of popular beauty brand Beautederm and stalwart of several social advocacies including Voter Registration and join movements against false information on the internet which this series also tackles.

Ria says "I'm so glad to be back at work. I also feel good doing these locked in tapings because we can finish projects quite fast. I know that I'm safe together with my co-actors because we strictly follow protocols, we also get to spend time and bond during the filming of this project. Aside from that, this series has a very timely subject especially how social media has affected the lives of people. I am a staunch advocate of truth, lies are unacceptable. My character in the series does what I do in real life, how I have strong convictions against misinformation and fake news." which I always see whenever I see her posts on social media. 

Go watch how Ria will play Laura Dizon and follow her social accounts @RiaAtayde on Twitter, @Ria on IG, and Ria Atayde on Facebook to know more about this series. Again, this will start on November 15th, so you better be ready!

They also used this to introduce products which is available in store so you kinda get knowledge about them without the need to go there physically yet.

GVBoys also talks about the importance of family, of friendship, how to have fun and what lengths you should go to when you're helping other people. The two special episodes will come out this week and next week, so make sure to subscribe at the Puregold Channel YouTube account and hit the notification icon.

OpenSnap: A Great New Way To Share Your Food Adventures!

Asia's premier dining guide just expanded their portfolio by whipping up a new app which is now available for FREE in the App Store and Google Play Store which is aptly called OpenSnap. It's something new that concentrates on mostly food and food establishments so if you want to go out and dine with some of your friends and family, you won't have any problems choosing which place to go and what things to order because it's all there!

I love my timeline already. I initially had restaurants from around the world on it but as I progressed to add some of my friends and family, I'm already seeing some of my neighborhood restaurants which is so good! It'll be easier to see if they have something new on the menu and places to hang out.

Obviously, I'm seeing those that are near the Tomas Morato area too because I live within the vicinity. There are also a couple of coffee shops that I frequent in and I'm so excited to push some of my photos in the system. Remember, installing OpenSnap will get you connected to the OpenRice database which will get you hooked up to over a million restaurants in the Philippines.

OpenSnap even got my photos organized automatically by the app and set it by location. Whatever restaurant I indicate, it automatically goes there. isn't it convenient?! :) There might be some bugs to work on says the Brand Manager Ms. Heidie Agbayani Tan but rest assured they are all using the feedback to better resolve these issues. Just like any app, some are found while on transit but they've got a pretty good form that you can fill up via the app or web.

The app also gets you to share your food stories to top social network sites such as Facebook, Twitter and China's Weibo. You can also log in and allow your usual credentials to log in on the app so it'll be easy to register your profile. If you wish, you can register a separate one just for the app. Isn't that great?! :) Oh and before I forget please follow me on the app by searching for the name indicated above. I'm sure he's good looking haha! Like my photos too so you'll have great fortune as you go along this thing we call life!

Install it on your phones now, because pretty soon this will be a hit and you'll thank me for it!

Fun in Social Media

The world is not so small anymore considering the number of Social Networks that brought us together. Imagine business partners, families, classmates, and friends reconnecting through one medium or another. I've been a firm believer that Social Media will get better in the years to come and with improvements here and there it'll all come together soon. Our own personalities will also be reflected on these avenues so you can totally differentiate one person from another. Featured Facebook Layouts are also even coming out and this would change one aspect of our social networking behavior. The whole system would get real deal demographics from specific parts of the community and get marketing analysis easier. The differences will be a deciding factor of things you want. If you are a business owner; you get the market that you want for the product that you make. They also will be able to target only the people that want it and spend less for advertising in a general scale.

There are new ways of jazzing up our profiles on the social media channel we use and making an impressive image to any of your contacts or friends might make or break a deal if you are in business. It's like a change of clothes; people would start noticing you and get to celebrity status. You'll feel like a rock star or be anything you want since you control your destiny. Don't you want to start with simple things like these now? You know what to do so log in and take a different view you'd definitely like!
