Please watch “Crazy Rich Asians”

I don’t normally recommend movies to watch, but this one is just too good to pass up on.

Was able to catch “Crazy Rich Asians” yesterday and boy, am I glad I did because this is the kind of feel-good film I crave for. All.The.Time.

Constance Wu and Henry Golding make a delightful couple onscreen, but it is the role of Gemma Chan I aspire to identify with the most. Don’t ask me why just yet. I just love her “Astrid” character.

And the part of Kris Aquino? She is definitely not an extra. It was more like a special appearance that made her look like the definitive #CrazyRichAsian royalty as Princess Intan. I love it that Michael Cinco dressed her up in that fabulous yellow gown – a true “color of joy” in a movie so pleasurable to spend 2 hours and 10 minutes in. And there’s nothing to feel guilty about it either.

P.S. Don’t leave your seats immediately after the end credits start rolling in. ‘Nuff said haha

Listen now to the opening track of the movie based on the bestselling Kevin Kwan novel that sets the tone to an altogether wonderful movie experience!

Sunday “Guessing Game” Specials: Who will co-host The 65th Miss Universe?

Can you guess who?

After a news bit came out that Kris Aquino did not get the green-light to co-host The 65th Miss Universe next month, the guessing game continues on who will be paired with Steve Harvey for the job. DOT Secretary Wanda Tulfo-Teo has already shared that a Filipina co-host has been indeed selected, but could not be named just yet.

The name of Joey Mead surfaced before, but methinks it could be another personality. With Solar Entertainment Inc. as the official telecast partner of The 65th Miss Universe, it might help to gaze in the direction of CNN Philippines too.

Your guesses, dear readers?

Christi Lynn McGarry gets her chance to explain on Aquino & Abunda Tonight

image See why Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2015 Christi Lynn McGarry is more confident this time around to perform well in Miss Intercontinental compared to the first time she took part in the same last 2010.

Christi Lynn has already fully accepted her fate. And while Miss Intercontinental 2015 still feels like light years away (no updates yet on when and exactly where in Europe it will be hosted), she is aiming to bring home the country’s first title in that pageant.

Watch now her TV guesting on Aquino & Abunda tonight. 😉

And aren’t you just loving Janicel’s brand-new confidence now? A Bb. Pilipinas crown really does wonders to a title holder’s over-all aura. One might think that she could have wilted in front of a picky host like Kris Aquino. But no, she held her own.

Watch now. 🙂

Consider this post my small contribution to the Pope Francis fever currently raging in the country. I am Catholic and quite religious. But I don’t want to write about something too fundamentally spiritual as it is not wont in my character to be preachy or anything of the sort. So let us take a look at the real Pope Francis as seen through the eyes of Fr. Luciano Felloni, an Argentinian priest who has been staying and serving his vocation in the Philippines for around twenty years now. In fact, he speaks very fluent Tagalog. 

Click below on the video of Fr. Felloni’s guesting on Aquino &  Abunda Tonight. This is one interesting watch, I assure you. 🙂

By next week, Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2014 Kris Tiffany Janson will be given a send-off by Bb. Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI) before she finally departs for Tala Bay in Aqaba, Jordan on October 5.

And last night, she was the featured guest on Aquino & Abunda Tonight where hosts Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino asked about her preparations for Miss Intercontinental 2014.

As expected, the more popular “Kris” (Aquino) got a bigger slice of the spotlight with her comments about asking the more beautiful “Kris” (Janson) if this is the first time the Philippines will participate in the competition and saying that Miss Intercon got popular only after being taken in by Bb. Pilipinas.

Anyways, just watch the video below and tell me what you think about the new version of Kris Tiffany Janson. 😉

The wait is over. SM City BF Paranaque is now open.

The wait is over. SM City BF Paranaque is now open.

It was only a matter of time before the biggest chain of supermalls in the country invades the biggest residential subdivision in Asia. And the wait was all worth it.

Yesterday afternoon, your blogger (who lives just less than a 5-minute drive away) was invited to cover the blessing and ribbon-cutting of the newest and most exciting shopping mall south of Metro Manila – SM City BF Paranaque.

Located at the strategic corner of Dr. A. Santos Avenue (Sucat Road) and Presidents Avenue, it will definitely complement the large market of shoppers in the populated villages surrounding the same, including the ones from nearby Taguig and Las Pinas Cities.

I have followed the rapid growth of SM Supermalls in the Philippines, and this is the first one built and named after a specific residential area. The convenience it will bring should add more value to the over-all next-door shopping pleasure.

All the shopping you need is right here.

With four huge floors being occupied by a spacious SM Store, a stock-filled SM Supermarket, a techie-tempting Cyberzone, an assortment of shops carrying established retail brands (like Uniqlo, Bench, Nautica and Camaïeu), an inspiring Our Home furnishings outlet, Watson’s, Ace Hardware, branches of popular restaurants and cafes’, an abundant food court and a spanking new 6-screen cineplex (on the 4th level), there’s really no reason to go anywhere else.

SM Endorser Kris Aquino shopping to her heart's delight.

And if that’s not enough, a planned expansion building will rise beside the structure in just a little over a year from now.
