My Binondo Girl the DRAGON Finale!

Watching My Binondo Girl has been a habit for me and my relatives at home. It's like automatic that before I leave for work or just plainly dinner; it should always be at the time when Jade comes in the picture. We're not necessarily addicted because I know of some people who record this series and play them all day, but we are hooked just like the rest of the households in the Philippines. It was a great thing I got invited to the My Binondo Girl Dragon Finale just this last weekend. Check this out!


Just like me, and hundreds that flocked SM Skydome that afternoon you can see the eagerness to see the stars of the series and the little perks in between. You sort of kinda wish what they do in the show is something that happens in real life.


Phomela Barranda was there to cover the event for The BUZZ. They even had remote live interviews in the venue. It was finally some place that they could confirm things like if Xian Lim is courting Kim Chiu... is he? =) What do you think Team Jandy?! =)



The cast which includes those who are in Jolo Revilla's Store and Amethyst were there picking out lucky audience members and having them play a couple of games on stage. It was fun listening to them utter out Chinese phrases. =)


They thanked those who have supported My Binondo Girl and said to watch out for the show in its last two weeks of airing. The dubbed this as the Dragon Finale!


Before the rest of the cast came out they had these awesome Dragons and Lions doing their thing plus a long one with around 15 men lifting and roaming around the venue to the beat of the drums. It was really nice, see the intricate details on the Dragon head? Ain't it pretty?!

Then came out Richard Yap aka Papa Chen. To my surprise, the fans just went wild upon seeing this guy. It must be that magic of seeing the pair up with Ms. Aiai and the romantic stories in between. The last time they had a kissing scene together so everyone was eagerly awaiting their love story in the series.



Ms. Cherry Pie Picache, Papa Chen and Ms. Aiai on this bit was interviewed by Toni Gonzaga. I must say, they even kissed on the lips to the delight of the audience... even if the real Mrs. Chen was in the audience!


Fans went wild at the sight of Kim Chiu and Xian Lim! Cute couple!


They didn't escape the questions when the live feed from the BUZZ started. They were asked point blank about Xian courting Kim Chiu... and a resounding YES came out of his mouth. Kim just smiled so much after hearing that and said "Sobrang nakakababae" to that statement. Yes ladies and gentlemen, Xian is courting Kim Chiu and he is looking forward to continue this thing they have even after filming My Binondo Girl.


Hello! Diabetes! LOL!




Comedy Concert Queen Ms. Aiai gave this crowd a great song and dance number! She really gave it her all! What a performance!



Ms. Cherry Pie Picache and Richard Yap sang a love song too.



Not to be outdone this new loveteam of Zeny and Papa Chen just was the best part of the show. Everyone was rooting for them on this bit and screaming more for a kiss!
Ms. Aiai gladly obliged hehe!


Veteran actress Ms. Gina Pareno (clad in Betty Boop ensemble) and the cast invited everyone to watch My Binondo Girl in its last two weeks of airing!





Xian Lim serenades the crowd with a couple of songs with him playing the keyboards himself. So talented I'm proud of this former UE Red Warrior!



Kim Chiu looks so sweet she also sang something from Rihanna if I'm not mistaken. The upbeat tempo and new song was well appreciated by the crowd. She looked so pretty in her red number, her shoes were deadly too!




We've got a lot to look forward to in these last two weeks of My Binondo Girl, don't change that channel because there will be more surprises and twists to the story. You'll surely love the cast all over again and be excited as some of the characters try to do some things that you'll never expect. Is it time for revenge?


Watch out for that! My Binondo Girl The Dragon Finale will surely take you to the edge of your seats! Last two weeks, so you better watch it!

Watch Out for Prison Dancer: An Interactive Musical Web Series

Tuesday, January 10, 2012


When you watched the inmates of CEBU dance to the tunes of artists like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Lady Gaga and stare at awe how this great number of people do it like it was so easy; then you are in for a treat because it has now become a musical! Yes ladies and gentlemen, imagine these guys hitting those tunes and shaking their booties to songs reminiscent of Miss Saigon/Glee. I saw some awesome clips this evening and OMG it was definitely world class I'd probably mistake this for something within the ranks of broadway!





Hell this would probably give Glee/Hairspray a run for their money. I wanna see hardened criminals, people who violated their parole and a lot of other characters never before seen in international television/mediums like youtube/facebook. I wonder what they will do with the interactive part and how this would eventually land in public TV too. This is a first of its kind I think and from the production, to editing, to cinematography, the actors, it'll be big I tell you! Best of all, it's hilarious you'll wet yourself a couple of times!

Oh and did I mention Mikey Bustos is here too? Yeap! Watch out in a few days as I interview them only here at KUMAGCOW.COM... KAPOW!

A Toast for 2012!

Tuesday, January 03, 2012

The Christmas and New Year celebrations are not complete without the essentials. We whipped up a couple of regulars like ham, pasta, salad and of course the dessert! People in this side of the world usually gain 5-10 pounds because of the season and that is considered normal. What I mostly like about this time is the change to give and receive wine gift baskets. With family and friends around; you'll never have a dull moment for sure. We'll have lots of fun from here on!




The fact is, every celebration should end and start with a toast! With all the celebrities, famous people I've met this year and the hundreds of blog citizens I got to meet; it's so nice to rejoice and have that perfect MERLOT, SAUVIGNON BLANC or bubbly whilst clinking those glasses for the next year! With a sunny disposition, a clear mind and a great set of friends cheering me on I'm sure 2012 will be even better. There will be huge changes in the coming weeks so bear with me if you experience down times. While reading some of my entries this time last year, it looks like I took leaps and bounds in this craft. I hope I can continue to experience a lot of things this year so I can tell you the stories like you were there. That's my goal after all. It's that and something that would make the statement "I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN" a reality. Cheers for 2012 and let's all drink to that!

Thank you 2011!

Sunday, January 01, 2012



Indeed 2011 was a year of ups and downs both locally and internationally. It's been a great year for me and my site and you guys know that right? I'd like to thank this bit to thank a couple of people who made my 2011 great.

Thanks to all my blog friends, I probably shouldn't mention you one by one because you are too many! But you know who you are... and to my hater na blogger din, magbago ka na dahil alam ko kung sino ka! hahahah :P

UBLOG Family, thanks for the Iloilo trip. Thank you also to the wonderful times together! (Namamaalam?! LOL!)

To the peeps over at Pinoy Bloggers, thanks for keeping it professional and letting me be sometimes headache free hahaha!

To my sponsors, great PR companies, brands who made it possible for me attend their events, thank you so much for everything! Without you I wouldn't be inspired to write, meet people and have a wonderful time outside my work.

To the supporters of ABS CBN and the celebrities I love... of course MELASON and their millions of friends; (I don't wanna call them fans coz they treat them like family) I wanna thank you so much for the overwhelming support I get when I write about them! Thank you for being so nice! (You know who you are!) and please let me do Philippine Fashion Week every year! :) Coz you made my article number 1!!!!

Enchong Dee and Erich Gonzales, for making me believe that there are real people behind those good looking faces. I really love you two. Thank you for being so nice to me and recognizing me even if you are so busy with other people in press conferences/shows. (Ambait sobra!)

Thank you also to Rocco Nacino and Kris Bernal, you know you are the only guys I support there in the other station. Even if I was offended by a show's production and the people over there, you made me understand that there are nice genuine ones like you. Thanks for being good friends.

Thanks to my Sensei in Fashion Photography Xander Angeles and Boss Niko Villegas of Edge of Light Studios and The Fashion Academy/Elite Manila. You made me see light in a different way.

And to you dear readers, and non readers that only get photos from my site (baka gusto nyo nang magbago LOL) thank you so much! You have made my 2011 worthwhile and I hope that things will get even better this 2012!
