An Afternoon with "Kambal Sirena's" Mike Tan and Louise Delos Reyes

We met with good looking Mike Tan and the gorgeous Louise de los Reyes a few days ago in a small restaurant in Quezon City. They're the most revered pair in GMA's latest fantaserye "Kambal Sirena" (Twin Mermaids) where Mike's character Jun is paired with Alona, one of Louise's character in the series.

Jun is a fisherman so it goes without saying that he'll be not to well off here but he's got one or more things that would make any mermaid and woman fall in love with him still. His eyes, looks, and almost perfect physique that he says he doesn't even workout made me realize some people are just blessed. Louise also mentioned that Mike is really professional. If he's in character, you won't make him lose focus on what he's doing. She speaks so highly of him even if he's a funny chap on set. I guess that goes without to say that Mike is definitely a good guy. No matter how much he probably is in stardom, he remains humble and really someone who you can get to talk to in so many levels.

He was found to have controversies a few weeks ago when he stated his stand about being compared with the other mermaid program from another channel. He was a little apologetic about it but I didn't think he had to. Sometimes, things like he said wouldn't be accepted by closed minds. It was after all an opinion. I laud him for that.

Louise de los Reyes had so many things going for her. I've heard so many good things about her from GMA artists I've interviewed before. Aljur Abrenica the last time said he's so impressed with Louise. Adds that when he saw her and her passion for the craft... that immediately just says working with her would be such a breeze. 

I've also discovered that afternoon that Louise is so beautiful without that much make up on. I've only seen her in events where she was heavily made up, but this number was so nice on her no? That and an outfit to boot, she looks gorgeous. Plus, she's really nice when we asked about the project because she doesn't think that the great ratings doesn't just fall on her... she says it's the whole team behind it that makes it successful. Bloggers observed that the reason why GMA trusts her is because of the performance of her shows in the past. She did not disappoint them and she says she remains so thankful of it. Humble and sweet, she hopes all of their work translate into getting more support from the viewers. 

 

 

The story is going to be more complicated as the days go by. Mike Tan as Jun and his other voice on the show will surely make you think if he's the right man (who knows?!) for Alona. He still knows her secrets, and if that's going to spell if a love story is in the works then stay tuned for more of "Kambal Sirena." Other stars on this show are Ryan Eigenmann, Tessie Tomas, Mickey Ferriols, Yuk Servo, Hershey Garcia, Angelika Dela Cruz, Rich Asuncion, Polo Ravales and anti hero extraordinaire Gladys Reyes.

Watch the show on GMA's Primetime slot every day as they make a splash in your homes every night!

Allison Harvard and Phil Younghusband for Sprinto

Guess who just opened their first kiosk/shop over at The Block at SM North Edsa? Yes, you heard that right, it's Sprinto. They didn't just opened shop, but they also had a couple of surprises in store for those who love their eye wear. They were already letting us have a preview of their current models plus a mere countdown to summer via their Color Clash campaign set here and other cities like Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore. 

We gasped at the sight of those sunnies. From classic shades, to shaped ones, aviators and durable sports grade eye wear, Sprinto has got it all. They don't compromise one thing though... and that's quality.

I thought I've seen her before. Oh yes, she's one of the finalists in My Foreignay if I'm not mistaken. She's wearing Sprinto eye wear! Cool!

She even brought her model friends with her. See? It's the perfect thing to wear this summer!

Whether you're out on the beach or just posing away at the mall, Sprinto eye wear would just be the perfect thing to complement your outfit. These ladies looked HOT!

Then, Sprinto's first ever endorsers in the Philippines arrived!

Now you can't say that's only local endorsements if you have Allison Harvard of America's Next Top Model, nor would you discount Phil Younghusband, a famed International Football player adored by fans of the Azkals!

Isn't she pretty? I love her! Isn't Phil Younghusband good looking? :)

There's a drawback having eyes like Allison's because she can't really stay outside and frolic in the sun like the rest of us. She needs better protection for her eyes, so this really is a good endorsement for her. It's meant to be! Still, don't we just love her blue eyes?! :)

Phil on the other hand stays out in the sun for hours because of the games he play. If he can, he really makes it a point to wear Sprinto eye wear when that happens. It's his first line of protection when there's harmful UV rays.

Fashion wise, Allison says she stays with Sprinto because it doesn't just look good on her but the quality is something that she'd be proud of when endorsing this brand. She is simple, but when she goes for those andorgenous looks she's well known for, Sprinto can still be wearable. Perfect for models like her!

A Night at Buddha Bar with Parisian Mixologist Mathias Giroud

I'm young, wild and free and when it calls for a party, I go out with friends and have a great time with beer, wine or anything mixed in between. It makes the occasion a little better when you get a little loose and your inhibitions a little lower when you get tipsy. Not that I'm saying it's good to drink but everything in moderation is something called for. Best of all, you have a world class Mixologist Mathias Giroud whipping up drink after drink on the bar. It's one that most celebrities do when in Paris so why shouldn't we have that same love in Manila right? :)

He was already behind the counter when I arrived and stirred up his magical concoctions that he says is close to art. We understood by the way he presented it in a real deal palette.

He pays real close attention to detail. This one was served for me and I loved it!

It's watermelon, vodka (I think), some liqueur and a slight hint of Ylang ylang, the flower that they use to make Chanel No.5. He's making this on top of his head without a recipe on display.

Crosswinds: Grand Quartier III

Nestled at the cool, breezy, mountainous region in Tagaytay is this 100 hectare property that boasts of thousands upon thousands of pine trees, steep roads, heavenly views and a quaint community that could simply be breathtaking anytime of the day. This is Crosswinds Swiss Luxury Resort. It is composed of a couple of real estate projects namely The Alpine Village, The Swiss Quadrilles, The Grand Quartier, Deux Pointe and one or more custom home sites. They have just inaugurated a part of the Grand Quartier property that we'll be seeing in a bit and I'll be showing you some nice ones that's surely be great for investments if you currently have the mileage to own one of them as well.

Some weekend warriors actually have kept this place a secret because they usually lounge around the cute coffee shop and gift shop found right near the entrance of Crosswinds. It was like Christmas all throughout the year!

Later on this year, there will be a huge windmill on the front of the estate. They plan to open a dedicated coffee shop and a full blown restaurant on this part of Tagaytay. Business will surely grow when they start developing this area.
