It looks like these kids surely had so much fun in the last Shakey's Junior PizzaMasters workshop. They were trained to make their own pizza, pasta, chicken, mojos and the best things on Shakey's menu. It was so nice to see these kids toss pizza doughs, put their favorite toppings and learn more about the chain's history. It was a learning experience to say the least. Best of all they all made new friends. It was so nice to see they didn't waste their whole summer while at home. Shakey's also got them awarded their certificates last May 8, 2012. The different branches had their own share of getting these guys the spotlight that they deserve. Congratulations to these young achievers! Your Mom and Dad would surely be proud of you! I'm sure Shakey's will have a similar program next year since this year it has been so successful!

You know what, I failed to actually go to the launch of this wonderful burger. So I did the next best thing, I went ahead and visited the nearby Mc Donald's branch and got me one of these! For what its worth, I'm so glad I did!
It's called Big N’ Tasty and this isn't going to be available forever. Yes, they only got this out for a limited time. I won't be missing this for the world so at first bite, I got to know what all they hype was about. This burger was a whole different than the usual awesome burgers that Mc Donald's already has. Imagine a quarter of a pound 100% pure beef patty, seasoned lightly using only salt and pepper, smothered with creamy cheese, a hefty serving of crispy lettuce on top, juicy red tomatoes, fresh onions, sweet- tangy pickles, plus a new special smoky sauce sandwiched in between two faces of their sesame seed bun. It was comfort food, created on Earth, but just tastes so heavenly!
I love the smokiness, it was so good I even bought 2 for Mum and Dad to bring along home! Pair it up with my favorite Monster Sized McFloat and its a done deal! So make sure you drop by your favorite McDonald's stores nationwide. If you prefer to stay at home go to McDelivery Online or simply dial 8-MCDO. The burger is just a few clicks away. It's the perfect way to reward yourself after a long day at work or on a rainy day like this!
He's one heck of a superhero and he's probably one of the most prominent ones that comic books has ever produced! He's so close to me and a lot of other people because he's almost human. I like that and I'm sure once this movie hits theaters it'll be a battle in the box office success. Avengers, meet your arch enemy LOL!
It's so nice that this is showing in the Philippines, but you know... THERE'S MORE!

I've taken a long vacation and right after I got back from my Bohol and Cebu trip, this comes along!
It's the Jansport Super Sized Summer: Our Last Hurrah Before the School Year Starts! This was indeed a welcome message to me and my friends because we don't want the season to end YET! Rod Magaru and I even went and joined their competition at the Mall of Asia: By the Bay Grounds. We were both late so don't ask about how we fared... but we basically did the Inflatable Obstacle Course, the Coin Swimming thing, and lastly the Wall Climbing! OMG! It was one of the hardest things I've athletically done in a while LOL! But I think we survived it!
Being a backpack lover that I am, JANSPORT is pretty much a staple. This is a confession: I've got around 30 bags at home of different sizes and shapes. I've probably had 3 Jansport bags in my lifetime, not because I'm cheap... but because its so comfy and so durable! It lasted a couple of years and I even influenced some of my friends to get it. You'll surely never gonna look bad when you have this on your back right? Because of its stylish and colorful variety it has been an early fashion statement for highschool/college guys and girls. It became a must in our school to have one because its practical and doesn't sacrifice anything on the "looks" department. You'll be the envy of everyone too!
Students, professionals, anyone of any age, shape or form all went out this afternoon to enjoy what Jansport had prepared for us. It was nice to see faces light up when they finish the whole course. I didn't even know there were prizes up for grabs, then it hit me... Oh.... so that's why those people were dead serious when the game started! LOL
For what it's worth, I enjoyed having fun with my friends and new ones I met in the event. I got shots of those who won in the race. I was so excited to see Students won since there were professional athletes in the mix. Life is gonna be so good for them these coming months I'm sure coz they won some hefty amount of change!
Congratulations to these two guys! They won 50,000 pesos in cold cash! Perfect to end the day with that!
We're so FLY like that!
I can't wait for what Jansport would have next year. This event has really been so successful! Congratulations to the winners and everybody else like me who had so much fun before school starts! Thank you so much to Jansport and Primer Group of Companies who made this event a resounding success!

I don't know anybody who's not excited to watch this! I love Eugene Domingo. You can ask my friends how many times we've met after all these years just to see her movies. Each time she makes one there's like an automatic reunion of some sort. I'm not surprised though.
Did you know Kimmy and Dora Go Dong Hae is back? Yeap! Now it's Kimmy Dora and the Temple of Kyeme, they are holding the premier today. Tomorrow, we will surely hound the cinemas and watch this movie!
Imagine these people traveling all the way to South Korea just to bring you a bigger and better KIMMY DORA experience! They worked with people who couldn't even understand them. The lead star Eugene Domingo laments that she even talked to them in Filipino because the Korean group they worked with had basicall ZERO English skills. It was not that hard though to work with them because they understood one thing... the passion to make movies. It was a great experience even though slightly hard because of the weather. It all paid off said Director Joyce Bernal. The places they went to in South Korea were all cinematic she says and the Korean crew definitely had so much fun with them because they were doing something different. "Masyado silang serious, kasi sila gusto nila work lang samantalang kami we were having fun! Iba daw ang experience working with Filipinos" says Bb. Joyce Bernal. They shot scenes in Gwanghwamun Plaza, Cheonggyecheon, Myeongdong, Namsan Tower, and Doseonsa. When Ms. Eugene Domingo was asked about a role she wanted to do after this, she said "Porno, kung sino yung available ng araw na yun tas bukas ulet.." then we all laughed! She seriously wants to do a travel show in the future. She's doing something she loves now which is a modern take on Nora Aunor starer Bona. She's so glad to be back on theater. You should definitely watch out for this movie though!
If the trailer didn't convince you, check out this KIMMY DORA Music Video!
Kudos to the people who made these gorgeous outfits for both Kimmy and Dora Go Dong Hae during the film, the photo shoot and the music video! Each outfit seemed delicately made for Ms. Eugene Domingo. This movie is THAT GOOD! BIGTIME!

Levi Celerio was such an inspiration when I was a kid. I always watched documentaries about this noble man who turned simple things like a leaf into works of art/music. His numerous compositions were genius! I couldn't find anyone who would make Filipino music the same way again. It was so good FREEWAY included him in the coveted people who are in the ranks of the ones they pay homage to. I got the chance to attend their launch a few days ago.
The mood was so great and I love how Freeway makes art and fashion combine. It has been pretty successful with national artists in the past and why not include one of the best historical icons in Philippine culture right? It was so nice to see people from the same industry and Levi Celerio's own kids were in the audience. This night was absolutely perfect!
I love the owner and fashionistas all over Metro Manila that came and represented that evening. It was something a guy like me would look forward to.
Seeing one of Freeway's very first model and prettiest faces was a bonus. G Toengi is back in the country for good. I hope some of you have seen her kids, they are adorable!
Asia's Queen of Songs Ms. Pilita Corrales was actually Levi Celerio's friend. She also talked about how wonderful it was to work with a genius like him. Imagine making a song virtually in minutes. Did you know he made around 4000+ songs in his lifetime?
Ms. Pilita also sang some of his greatest hits. I particularly love the instance where she invited some of the kids to participate while she was singing... it made perfect sense who would eventually LOVE Filipino music. They were such a sight to behold, imagine these kids appreciating Levi Celerio's work at an early age. The pieces that were also made to pay homage to the national artist was no joke either. They were all works of art!
The pieces were simple interpretations of Levi Celerio's songs. I love the ones with the stars and music sheets on them. There were even pendants that you can use to make music too! I love the CILINDRO! I love the jackets, trench coats and dresses. It was so nice to see his songs come to life! I'm sure when he's alive and saw these things paying homage to him, he'll be one proud man.
Levi Celerio's kids were so proud of their Father. Seeing how they react with the things done by Freeway to honor their Father was priceless. They were so proud of him. They've got their own lives now but they would never forget how much of an inspiration HE was while they were growing up. I couldn't imagine the amount of music that they probably have inside their homes. Not to mention the lyrics that were like poems in our ears!
Congratulations to FREEWAY! A lot of other brands may have tried to do this but they failed at one thing in particular, FREEWAY not only loved what they were doing... they knew right from the start that it involved the history and family of the artist to get a connection to the collection. That right there is the right way to pay homage to these people. It would be futile if you can't get your point across. This should be a lesson learned for those who would want to go through FREEWAY's path. I'm sure there will be more of our national artists to be honored by this great brand!
