Last August 14, Bloggers were invited by Robinsons Galleria to experience the ROBINSONS MALLS – RED HOT SALE promo and yes, I was excited about it. Being a shapaholic myself, I always wanted to get the best buy especially during mall sale. After the briefing and lunch at Chicken Bon Chon, we all trouped to the stores we pre-selected to visit. I was joined by my fellow blogger friends Iris and Montch Acosta and we tried to visit almost all the stores that participated in the mall-wide sale. Of course, I didn’t miss visiting some of my favorite stores like…

I have only seen The Planet of the Apes (with Mark Walhberg) and I was not that amazed both with the story and special effects. I remember it being a big joke with reference to Michael Jackson’s look-a-likes. It’s a sick joke, I know. And then there’s a huge buzz on the return of the apes dubbed as “Return of the Planet of the Apes”. This time around, it stars Hollywood actor James Franco (who’s most memorable films includes “Spider Man” and my favorite “127 Hours”) and a more realistic images of the Apes. Most of my girl friends who…

I’ve known R&B Singer Luke Mejares since his South Border years and managed to be friends with him. He is a great singer with great sense of humor. He never fails me with his jokes. But most especially, I admire this guy for his talent and his passion for music. After leaving his band, he did well with his solo career and as part of the now-defunct “Sabado Boys” (along with other top OPM artist/musician like

Some example that I didn’t like the new transformations are Scooby Doo, Garfield,…

The event place was colorful and converted the basketball court of Ronac Art Center into a huge playground. I’ve been invited to Jollibee’s twice (the 1st one was at the launch…

I was invited yesterday (August 11) to cover the press conference for Kapamilya teen actress Kim Chiu as part of the promo for her upcoming comeback in primetime TV via “My Binondo Girl” held at Choi Restaurant, Greenhills, San Juan. Although it started late, Kim Chiu was apologetic enough when she arrived but everything was forgotten because we were all mesmerized with her charm. Wearing a skimpy designer outfit and shoes she recently bought at Hong Kong, Kim Chu is a picture of an elegant primetime princess. Kim Chiu gamely answers questions from the member of the press and bloggers…
