Regine Topbills New GMA Show Poor Señorita

This afternoon was fun as GMA launches another fun series starring Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez. This is entitled Poor Señorita, where Regine plays a rich successful woman who was struck with news that she's dying and only got a few days to live. She later finds out that she was misdiagnosed but the problem is, she already gave away her wealth to charities, her relatives and signed it off already. Unfortunately, none of them were willing to give it back. Now, the Señorita only had the clothes on her back and nothing more. She's now as poor as a rat.

Caught Regine lined up on the way to the press conference. I must say, she's still gorgeous and fun as always. She said she enjoys making comedy shows and this is but a welcome treat. Aside from that, she gets to work with really great people like Jaya, Snooky Serna, and the rest of the cast!

Caught these two looking so cute! It's the first prince and princess of Starstruck Season 6. Elison looks so happy now that he's given a break. He's also going to be paired with the lovely Ayra Mariano. It's also his first time to work with GMA's biggest stars and he only wants to do good and show his best foot forward. 

This is the first time Mikael Daez is working with Ms. Regine and says he's been wanting to do that because his guestings in Sarap Diva (Regine's cooking show) didn't push through. Regine also said Nate was asking why she's kissing Mikael in the trailer but explains she's just abusing him, a joke obviously from the Songbird. Regine wants to know first hand the personality of the character so she also adds that she had to ask about what direction they're taking the character. She has to be more animated since it's a comedy even if their peg was Devil Wears Prada. It's situational and says it's a bit hard to make people laugh. This is also for family viewing, so they don't really stress out doing the show. They made it light on purpose says the director. 

I'm also happy that Sheena Halili's back and playing the role of Regine's assistant. She's a bit quirky, fails at times, but still does good things. Regine says she's thankful for GMA giving her 4 years to spend with her son. It was enough time to mold her son she says and this is the time that she's going to work on a project that is this BIG. It's a wonderful soap and she's happy to see new people, reconnect with the old people and hopes the ones at home would be able to appreciate it. It's going to show right after 24 ORAS.

Chynna, her Music and Lara Serena

I've already interviewed and met Chynna Ortaleza several times so I thought I already knew her. Her stint at The Rich Man's Daughter sort of have given us another side of her, which we all probably didn't know she's very well capable of. The other cast members did as much work as she did, and look at what their show now. Ratings have gone sky high, the amount of support they're getting is big, but are we just scratching the surface? I bet.

 I've been to 70's Bistro, a long time ago in fact to watch my favorite bands perform, and perhaps see up and coming artists who are all trying to make it big in the scene. What I got from Chynna that evening was her extreme gusto to explore another world. She feels she also belongs to the indie scene and finds that it feeds her artistic hunger. I was even able to see Chynna watch bands from the audience and how she gets excited when we hear their music. 

Oddly that it seems, this is much like a dream for her. When Darwin Hernandez and Kean Cipriano help her produce some of her work, everything just came into place. They named the band Lara Serena, which is Chynna's real name. Together with Chen Pangan on Lead guitar, Mat Rabena on rhythm , Z Mendioro on bassand KV Viloria on drums, Chynna took hold of the vocals and had their band formed during the last week of June. Friend and co-artist Glaiza De Castro also helped in some of her original tracks which they played during their first gig in Saguijo. This time, it was for the BabaePower tour which aims to hasten women empowerment, hence the great lineup with female vocalists and musicians.

Gorgeous GMA Artists Visit Soldiers in V.Luna Hospital

Rich Asuncion, Sheena Halili, Yasmien Kurdi and Colleen Perez (not in photo) celebrated their birthday at the VLUNA Hospital

I think this story is just in time. We've heard the horrible news about the 44 fallen soldiers who lost their life to MILF men. Unfortunately, there's still an ongoing investigation to find out who ordered who and who's responsible for the death of these heroes. Anyway, I was fortunate enough to witness a worthwhile birthday celebration at the VLUNA Hospital in Quezon City. Stars of GMA Rich Asuncion, Sheena Halili, Yasmien Kurdi and Colleen Perez wanted to at least give back to the community and spend some time with soldiers that have been sick, injured and on rehab while they are have served the country all these years. We all have dreams, these men are just like the rest of us, they have families, they have kids to support but they still chose to defend it against the country's enemies. It's for this reason that these ladies find it important to at least make them happy, even just for a while.

The ladies started by singing and dancing with the men, women, their relatives who are all confined at the hospital. Their smile, it was priceless. You wouldn't even see that they have reasons why they are confined there, but some even if they've got one leg left, some confined to a wheel chair, they all joined Rich, Sheena, Yasmien and Colleen standing up a couple of times so they could participate with them.

Yasmien's wish is just to have Yagit to further be successful and she's even excited to share that there will be more things to watch out for in the story of the show. She also got her daughter there and everyone adored her - she even started to play along with the crowd. Star quality? Perhaps, but just like any parent, Yasmien would want Ayesha to finish her studies first before anything else. She greatly credits the viewers for the success of her show and promised you'll be seeing something shocking in the coming weeks, especially with the issues behind Elisa and the Dad. 

Talking with Rich, she only wished for her studies to be done on 2017. That's quite near and it's UP. She also wishes to have a love life soon. She's independent, she's got lots of friends, she entertains all of them but hopes he arrives soon, she's so ready! Haha :) She also thanked everyone who supported Yagit and now it's going to be extended, I heard until April if I'm not mistaken. With the event, she thanked Artist Center. She didn't have a celebration personally but this event really made her realize she still has a lot to thank for. She also wishes everyone would support the soldiers, as they've given so much for the country. Rightfully so, they deserve all the help they can get. 

She also added "Congratulations to MJ Lastimosa, she's done a great job representing the country and I'm proud that we came from the same trainer. The fact that she represented us, we all should be proud of that. For us you are the winner! Thank you!". She also teased that there will be a lot of things to happen in the story, she even hinted a wedding will happen real soon! Who? She wouldn't tell, but you know how that goes. 

Sheena celebrated in  Baguio and had some "Family Time" because she's going to be very busy in the coming months. She doesn't want anything, but she wants a real, exclusive love life. She's 3 years single but is still looking for that perfect guy. She's not choosy, but she just knows what she wants now. Simple things, a sense of humor, adventurous, stable, affectionate, nothing big really. In VLUNA Hospital, she felt really good to have seen the soldiers and says thanks to Artist Center for making this event possible. They may have gone to kids centers, some seniors and these soldiers are way different and it was touching to see them smile even at their state. She's working hard and also thinks about her education. She still wants to finish her studies and it is very detailed so sometimes she needs to go to her classmates house just to understand subjects even if she had to go right after a shoot. She feels her grades are a little sacrificed because of her work but hopes she can go back to it seriously. She's not contented with just plain studying at her capacity and wants to do more because she knows what she's capable of. They had so much fun that afternoon and thanks all the soldiers for accommodating them.  

Thank you so much to their sponsors Thai Tea, Mogu Mogu, Boardwalk, Flawless and GMA Artist Center for chipping in so they could give the soldiers some gifts too before they left the hospital that afternoon.
