PENSHOPPE Launches #iamdifferent Campaign

Have you ever been bullied? I have, a lot of times actually. I am glad to have joined several campaigns that have tackled this difficult problem that people have been through all these years. It makes me realize that it's a also a cycle, admittedly I have also bullied some of my friends, and I know it's not right. As much as I can, I try not to do that anymore because it's wrong on so many levels. I'm glad Penshoppe is doing it too.

You see my crazy hair? The weird clothes I wear? The shoes that I use? I love them all, but I'm sure a significant part of society won't consider that normal, up to their standards, but if you think about it I am the personification of this particular campaign because #iamdifferent. Being different doesn't mean people have the right to abuse you, use you, or tell you bad things because it's not right. That difference should be celebrated, because it's something good, it's individuality, it's taking a gamble with non conformity. It's cool, it's fashion forward, and no one should put you down because of it.

Together with the iconic men and women that are endorsing Penshoppe like Lucky Blue Smith, Sandara Park, Cameron Dallas, Kaia Gerber, Bella Hadid, Mario Maurer, and local stars Tanner Mata and Hashtag Ronnie Alonte, this night was something they wanted to happen because they were excited about this cause according to Jeff Bascon, Penshoppe's Fashion Director. It's very current, it's still happening and they will put a stop to it by funding a grassroots program module that would teach kids acceptance, against bullying via the organization Teach For The Philippines. 

All you have to do now is support the movement by purchasing limited edition shirts included in the #iamdifferent collection. Each shirt has a unique serial number and is supported by models, artists, individuals from around the world who believe in the cause. I'd like to take this bit to thank PENSHOPPE for including me in this campaign. I would really love bullying to end, and I know this is just the start. 

If you want to support the cause, please visit your nearest Penshoppe branch and purchase these lovely shirts made of really good material, with specially hand crafted tags just for the cause. Congratulations Penshoppe!

Mario Maurer and Baifern Pimchanok for Penshoppe Fancon 2013

It was awesome awesome awesome! I couldn't be so happy to see them in the flesh! We were there to cover Mario Maurer and Baifern Pimchanok's Fan Conference at the SM Mall of Asia. As you know we've been able to do this these past few years, and if Penshoppe throws an event like this, it's just massive! With Thai Superstar Mario Maurer and the gorgeous Biafern Pimchanok in the Philippines, you're sure to witness something good for the senses... I love these two!

But before that, the fans were treated to trivia games

These guys were so serious too because the prize alone was too good to be true, they were given personally autographed tees from Mario and Baifern. That was really sweet!

 Then they came in, and everyone went wild!

 I don't know where they get their skin but these guys look so flawless! Baifern looks like a smaller, thinner and prettier version of Jinri Park whilst Mario Maurer looks better in real life than in photos. He looks thin in my shots but he was quite a well built guy when we saw him there!

Cute as a button, Baifern and Mario took time to say hi to fans at the SM MOA Atrium. It was jam packed and even the higher floors were full of around 3-4 layers of people. It was epic!

Mario Maurer and Erich Gonzales Star in Suddenly It's Magic!

You guys probably know by now that the Mario Maurer and Erich Gonzales movie entitled "Suddenly It's Magic!" is going to be shown soon. We got first dibs on asking the stars of the movie. I was eager to see both of them but I kinda knew that Mario is in Bangkok. You guys pretty much know I love Erich since I've covered her way back Maria La del Barrio and Corazon days. This light hearted film just spells so much excitement to me because this project by Star Cinema is going to other places than just Manila. Imagine, they are also going to be shown in other countries like Malaysia, Thailand, probably China and other Asian countries. It's a step, and everyone knew what was going to happen next.

Her face just lighted up the room, when she arrived she immediately told the host to introduce all of us and she remembered me.

So I didn't ask tough questions later hehe =)

She told us how easy it was to actually work with Mario. She also mentioned how gorgeous Mario's skin is, told us he didn't have any pores and doesn't want to do overtime when the hours are done. Shooting in Thailand was very disciplined and you won't be able to do anything more than what is submitted to the authorities there. It was strict but you kinda see how they were able to work with different nationalities. If they say that the shoot will start at 8AM in the morning, they will start at that time and would have everything ready in 30 minutes. All the lights, rigging, cameras are all ready to go.

Enrico Santos says they don't really have any problems shooting in Thailand. Erich has nothing but very good words about the film crew there. There is a huge difference but even the Filipino crew didn't become a problem either so it was smooth sailing. Even if it was only a few days they didn't have any problems with food, or comfortable chairs because even Erich brought Mario one. So did Mario when they went to film in Bangkok. They had the greatest scenes filmed in Ilocos, the scenes in Bangkok were good too. They wanted to do a balance between tourist spots in both countries and show the best. The majestic churches, windmills, beaches in Paoay, the temples in Bangkok, the rivers and the lovely side streets of Thailand, it was like a combination of both and as what we saw in the trailer... it really did work. I even asked Erich about the slapping scene, if you saw it (Maaawa ka kay Mario) because she slapped him so hard! But they were happy about that take because they only did it once. =) She said sorry afterwards, of course!

Enrico Santos presented Erich as the next Asian beauty. Different, non Caucasian, pretty face she's got all of that. He says Erich Gonzales will be the one to look at as The New Asian type of leading lady.

I totally agree.

Then to my surprise we were able to get someone hooked up through Skype.

 

It was Mario Maurer! =)

Erich and Mario were joking about how each of them looked. I was lucky enough to ask questions about this and his other films. Of course there is probably something different =)

I tried my best to talk in Thai but I guess he didn't understand it LOL. Anyway he said this is a feel good movie and the conditions of the other movies he did in Thailand are totally different. Plus the chance to work with other actors from different countries was a great experience. He says he loves adobo, and everything in the Philippines. He's planning to go back next year just for a tour because he wants to get to know the country more. He also wants Erich to do the same so he can take care of her when she's in Thailand. He wants to show her around just like Erich wants to do if he comes back for a vacation.

He was so nice, I got very nervous honestly. There is something to look forward to in this movie and if you are not going to do anything on its showing date on October 31, 2012! We just can't wait to see the chemistry between Mario Maurer and Erich Gonzales to spin and make this movie a little sweeter! Are you excited as I am? =) Mario Maurer and Erich Gonzales would like to see you in theaters too! =)
