Since last year, I’ve been playing Snoopy’s Trade Fair in my iPhone (the same beeline offline game that produced “The Smurf’s Village” which I got obsessed at one point). That’s why when I got excited when I found out from fellow Blogger Ruth Floresca that   9 Works theatrical will be showcasing “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”. I’ve been a fan of Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang way back in my elementary days. Although I love Garfield more, I secretly read Snoopy’s comics and draw them alongside Garfield. Here’s an info I found at Wikipedia to give you an…

I have a Puerto Rican-American friend named Antonio Robert Cortes who is the former lead guitarist/back-up vocals for the band HYBRID DAWN (f.k.a RECEPTOR) based in New York City. I’ve met him thru an acquaintance, Jing Maniebo, who is a big fan of Cebuano-band Cueshé, whom I promote circa 2006. She asked me if I’d be willing to help Hybrid Dawn in finding a record deal in the Philippines. Antonio Robert Cortes or Tony is not really new in Manila as they have traveled here before as part of a tour they did. His band also have a Filipino member,…

Singer/Songwriter and Pilipinas Got Talent Season 1 finalist Markki Stroem recently posted this teaser photo at Twitter taken from his photoshoot for his upcoming concert “Make Me Sweat” this coming February 04, 2012.

Finally, ABS CBN is now promoting “My Cactus Heart” movie starring Maja Salvador, Matteo Guidicelli and Xian Lim. I was actually wondering why it’s not getting much promotion and publicity and I realized maybe it’s because of the Metro Manila Film Festival, and maybe because it’s still conflict with the ongoing “My Binondo Girl” where the three actors are also part of the hit teleserye. Here’s the full trailer of “My Cactus Heart”:

I bumped into this at Facebook when a blogger friend, Alex Dizon, shared the trailer video of “José Rizal The First Hero” at his Facbook wall. At first I thought it’s Rico Blanco playing the role of Rizal, that’s why I clicked on it. Then I realized it’s not Rico Blanco. But I still continue watching it because I got curious what the movie is all about. And yes, it’s a movie about the Philippines National Hero. But not just a movie, it’s a documentary. And it talks about “the truth about

It seems that TV5 is doing its best to further boost its ranking in Philippine broadcasting network with the latest addition of American Idol star David Archuleta in the Kapatid Network. The charming 21-year-old American singer-songwriter is scheduled to arrive in Manila this coming January 13 to do a primetime series for TV5. In an official announcement posted on its website, the Kapatid Network reported that David Archuleta will “do a primetime series with homegrown Kapatid stars Jasmin Curtis Smith and Eula Caballero.” The Kapatid Network has aggressively been signing Philippine superstars over the past two years. Last year, they…

What happens when love beats to a different drum? For him…it’s love. For her, i’ts fun. Do relationships need an official status? For many, yes! But for the rest, pwede nang ‘Unofficially Yours’. After seeing the trailer for Star Cinema’s upcoming romantic-comedy movie “Unofficially Yours” (and those soon-to-be famous punch lines) I can’t wait to see the full movie this coming February. This is a perfect must-see Valentine movie, I must say! “Unofficially Yours” stars two of ABS-CBN’s blockbuster actors John Llloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin,

Saw Warner Bros. Pictures first offering for 2012 – the Philippine premiere of “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadow” held at Glorietta 4, Ayala malls, last January 05. I loved the 1st Sherlock Holmes and the sequel really excites me. I’ve been a long fan of actor Jude Law and he was amazing alongside Robert Downey Jr., whom I’ve only liked in the Sherlock Holmes movie. Like in the 1st movie, director Guy Ritchie did an awesome work with the sequel with super awesome fight scenes and those unpredictable humor. I personally enjoyed the chase scene in the forest and…
