The Slapshock Experience

It was such an honor to meet one of the most influential rock bands in Philippine history. If you hear the name "Slapshock" and you live in the Philippines; you probably would faint while in the presence of the greatest, internationally acclaimed rap metal - metal core band this land has ever produced.

They signed up again with Polyeast Records (formerly EMI) and working with them has been an a great decision "Jamir (vocalist) said". Working them has been beneficial and this would help them produce better music in the coming months so make sure you stake out their albums as soon as it hit the shelves soon!


I listened to their last album called "Carino Brutal" which was released in late 2009 and I was impressed to say the least with the carrier single with the same name. Their gigs here and in the US probably would tell you how great their songwriting and music is. Take a moment and watch this!

I wish I had their energy and join that mosh pit! I'll surely be bashing a couple of people for sure! Did you see those Americans too? Imagine our own rock gods being worshiped by them... it's such a wonderful feeling that they REPRESENT!!!!

Another interesting video that I saw is a collaboration between Southeast Asian countries. Who made the cut and got us on this? Of course Slapshock!

I'm so proud of these guys... Jamir was a highschool batchmate so I'm not surprised about the overwhelming talent that he has! With Lee Nadela on bass, Lean Ansing and Jerry Basco on guitar the silent but deadly Chi Evora on drums, how in the world can we go wrong with that?!

I'd like to take this bit and thank Slapshock for the nice afternoon... Dickies, Red Horse and Polyeast Records for making this possible!



P.S. Watch out for the intimate interview we had with them after the contract signing! (To be posted soon on HD video)


Kapish!

The Snickers War VS Hungerlings!

You know that time of the day when you already had lunch, dinner or snack but you still feel hungry? I often end up either sleeping it off; because I go all grumpy and rowdy/really if not violent when I see other people happy. I need that certain sugar rush to bring me back to reality and keep me sane in this crazy world. Would you believe I look like this when I'm possessed by a hungerling?! >>>>

You won't see me smiling or making jokes or worse I play tricks on ordinary humans so I can get satisfied with whatever I want to do that day (like throw bombs and fake candies!). Oooh and it only starts from there!

Last April 15, 2011 we were invited to an afternoon of fun and games over at Snickers. Yeah it's the candy bar everyone loves. I was thinking this might be the actual cure to this hungerling symptom so I signed up and got in the mood for war!

Our main tools for warfare: Laptops and Internet connection.

Mommy Bloggers also held the same armaments as we did. They were real troopers!

This is really serious... real serious! They did not let their guard down!

Even after their turns, they watched from the sidelines.

When they finished, everyone was happy and there were no signs of hungerling exposure!

There was only one winner when we went on full alert! How did we win? That's easy!

Surely the Best Comedy Film of the Year! Pak! Pak! My Dr. Kwak!

I am so lucky! I don't really meet celebrities that much these days but I was so glad I got invited in the press conference of Pak! Pak! My Doctor Kwak! at ABSCBN's Dolphy Theater. Watch this!

Star Cinema and MZET Productions finally released this great film from the one and only Prince of Comedy "Bossing" Vic Sotto and Romance-Drama Princess Bea Alonzo. Directed by Tony Y. Reyes this surely will be another unforgettable comedy film for the whole family. I got there on time and boy I was really star struck with Bossing. Just look at this humble, handsome guy up close when they walked in the venue.

I was thinking "Oh my God! There he is! Ang Idol ko! Heheh" as Bossing (which he is fondly called) walked inside the ABSCBN Gardens. He is a household name and everyone knows him weather they belong to class ABCDE. Not that there is a caste system here but I was just pointing out he is loved by everybody!

Look at who he's also with on that press conference... the pretty Bea Alonzo. She's an eye-catcher to say the least and we know here from her films and TV team ups with local cinema hearthrob John Lloyd Cruz. Apparently this is very new and who would ever thought they would be in the same movie together. There was a lot of discomfort from the movie press and the viewing public because as you can see in the cast, a lot of them are from GMA which is an arch enemy in Philippine television of ABSCBN; Star Cinema's parent corporation.

From L-R Jose Manalo (GMA), Pokwang, Direk Tony Y. Reyes, Wally Bayola(GMA), Vic Sotto (GMA), Bea Alonzo, Zaijan Jaranilla and Xyriel Manabat.

The cast ain't no small thing too. The best comedians from both channels are in this movie. You can expect a riot from Jose, Wally and Pokwang. The throwing of lines and antics will surely get you in a strain of laughter once the movie starts. Did you know Jose and Wally are named Phil and James? Yeah I know! The AZKALS must be jealous! LOL!

Bossing Vic Sotto was serious before the interview of Ms. Korina Sanchez in TV Patrol.

See how pretty she is up close? That's Bea Alonzo for you!

This film wouldn't be possible without the help of Ms. Malou Santos, the Head of ABSCBN Entertainment Group. This must be her pet project!

Bossing and Bea laughing it out while being interviewed live on TV Patrol on this snap shot.

This movie is all about Vic Sotto, a quack doctor that fell inlove with a real doctor played by Bea Alonzo. Zaijan Jaranilla (who played the role of an Angel) fell from heaven and made the miracles true. The story revolved around this but I wouldn't want to give away the details. That, and the great comedic cast... you should really watch this movie. You won't see anything like this happen in the near future because it is so hard to get people from different networks together. Make sure you buy tickets once it opens on April 23, 2011. Yes that is Black Saturday and this feel good movie will surely be a treat for the whole family!

The cast and director of Pak! Pak! My Doctor Kwak! Vic Sotto will surely make you laugh all throughout the movie as the Quack Doctor. Please watch it! I know I will! =)

This film is Directed by Tony Y. Reyes.

P.S.

I saw one of the greatest models in the Philippines interviewing them. Ms. Angel Aquino, please let me have you in one of my fashion shoots! Pushing my luck here! Ha-ha!



FIN!
