Shots From The Grand Press Conference of Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang

I was one of the few guys who probably got so depressed after the Maria La Del Barrio Finale, why you ask? Well let's put it this way, its just so hard to understand that we won't see them every night anymore. Erich Gonzales and Enchong Dee pretty much are like friends and if I don't see them that regularly, you kinda long for them... It's a natural thing. ABSCBN did a pretty nice job reinterpreting and extending the MLDB run. I wonder what projects they have next? Erich Gonzales answered that question a few days ago.

This was the Grand Press Conference of Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang. Shooting this started years ago, even before No Other Woman. It was quite difficult because they had to create a whole other world in the vicinity of Rizal. The whole town and story was a child project of Director Richard Somes and yes he's got a whole production outfit called SKYLIGHT FILMS to back this up. Star Cinema believes that this project will surely be another hit not to mention the two past movies that had Derek Ramsay in it. This is his favorite movie too, he was always telling the press how excited he is about this coming out. It was high time because he knows how important this is in merely telling the story. Imagine how creeped people are in the teasers then later to find out that this is mostly a LOVE STORY and DRAMA. The great story, plot and skilled actors like Derek and Erich, it's surely a formula for International release. We have yet to find out later if its going to happen, I'm sure Star Cinema can do this.

You should definitely watch how PASSION and LOVE come into play in their relationship. How a man loves a woman. How a wife would give it all to make her husband happy. I don't think I really need to convince you to watch Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang, because just knowing Erich Gonzales and Derek Ramsay will be there would spell YES... am I right?! =) Plus Derek says that his LOVE Scene with Erich here is WAAAAAY more passionate than his scenes in No Other Woman... the same person who shot that is the one who shot the scenes here too. So just think about it... you know you gotta watch this! Showing in cinemas on March 14, 2012!

Now I promised you guys that I'll be releasing some photos from the Grand Press Conference right? Here it is! =)

Here's hoping we get over the sadness brought about the end of Maria La Del Barrio! I really miss that show.. =(

BUM Summer Collection : DARE TO EVOLVE!

Let's check out what BUM has in store for their summer collection and see how it will fare with the brands that earlier released their lines. You guys know I loved what they had previously (re: Goth, Cosplay) and to put it in a nutshell it was really EVOLVING. I might have failed to actually catch the photo shoot but I got first dibs on the prints. They obviously love me =) now let's do the next best thing and give you a rundown of Summer collection they aptly call "DARE TO EVOLVE".

Empress Schuck

Empress Schuck has been carrying the brand since time in memorial. In this bit, she carries recognizable style which BUM has been known for which is the consanguinity to the black and white palette. They obviously toned down a bit on the emoness and ventured into a more subtle feminine version of it. It looks fierce yet pretty if you ask me.

Her lifestyle calls for something that her job entails and that would include activities such as dancing, acting and everything else in between. You know how unpredictable it is in showbiz, and if you can't catch up with what you do your wardrobe will surely suffer too. Good thing the material is light and even if you layer them like this it wouldn't hamper you from doing the things you wanna do. Match it with short shorts and it's a POWERFUL number to follow. Plus, the fact that you don't have to stop being FEMININE. See?! =)

Dino Imperial

Good looking (like me LOL), cool, calm, collected and unpredictable... Dino Guevarra exudes confidence like no other. It's no wonder he's getting all the attention he needs when he endorses a product. True enough the sales of the men's line says a lot with this and I'm not surprised. They have been doing so good interpreting the lifestyle BUM wants their patrons to have. The summer line boasts of light easy to wear materials. The major change is the appreciation of color. It looks like we're seeing more things other than black and white. Some shirt prints also have paisley, aztec, animal patterns on them which was not really present in their previous releases. This is a welcome change by any standard... truly BUM is EVOLVING.

This would also mean a huge change in the way BUM enthusiasts look at their wardrobe. The evolution would mark the same attitude and lifestyle that the design wants to happen. It's about time!

Make sure you have those other shirts and pieces to mix and match with these new ones because as far as I know even if its black and white it'll still work. That's probably also one of the goals of this new designs, that it will still work with the existing things people own. I love the turquoise and reds that's happening here. Pretty good to see in a pretty boy eh?! =)

Bea Binene

I got shot in my ear with the throng of fans that screamed when she went out the stage in the last fashion show BUM held at the SM Mall of Asia Atrium and it was all about this girl Bea Binene. I honestly haven't watched any of her shows but it seems that this sweetheart has a lot of promise. BUM sees that and what awesome time to dress up this summer with their Dare to Evolve line.

Just look at those prints at her. Some sort of ethnic - Mexican vibe going on and some on a toned down shirt. Just imagine how you could use these pieces on a night out in town or maybe layered with your favorite dress/top it on great hugging jeans. It's gonna look good in all the right places because things like these are not hard to work with. It flatters women. You should definitely get one of these in your closet.

If you want to have what she's having and get the same mood you wouldn't be disappointed getting BUM this summer. It might have changed quite a mile but if you think about it, they made each of these pieces to complement what you already have. Bea can work it right? It's not impossible so YOU can do it too!

Introducing DANIEL PADILLA

BUM is excited to have one of the greatest TEEN HEARTTHROB signed up on their brand and that is the one and only Daniel Padilla. Son of famed Rommel Padilla and Karla Estrada... Daniel is indeed making waves for himself. I'm not surprised that he got signed up with BUM because of all the right reasons. The brand now has color, vibrant and active. Just like Daniel the line is easy to wear, mix and match... any boy would love to have this in their possession. It has enormous amount of potential like him. When he wears stuff like these a lot of other guys would wear it the same way. I've seen this getup before and if this is what SUMMER will be for BUM it's going to sell. It's pretty awesome!

Like Daniel is with BUM, it looks like a brighter day with this brand. The summer collection definitely embodies the EVOLUTION they have been trying to inculcate in their designs and graphic prints. Now that followers of the brand have CHOICES, change is no longer too far from the horizon. Congratulations on a well executed collection BUM! Welcome also to Daniel Padilla your brands newest endorser!

I'm sure you'll have a heck of a lot of GOOD TIMES with BUM! LOL!

Marriott Manila's New GM William Scott Sibley

Marriott Manila has been my haven for scrumptious meals (via M Cafe), rest and entertainment when I'm around the Resorts World area in the South. That establishment has a lot of promise since its inception early on; and I've heard good news yesterday about them having a new General Manager Mr. William Scott Sibley.

With a very impressive resume (which includes thirteen different properties in various countries of the Marriott brand: Marriott Hotels Downtown, Renaissance Hotels, and Marriott Resorts and Spa) and a throng of Filipino staff to work for him in Guam Marriott Resort, Scott is quite enthusiastic to take on this great challenge to take Marriott Manila a step further than what it is today. His heart is very close to the Filipinos; he's married to one to say the least. He says “I’ve found love here ( Philippines )—from people, culture, to the feel of a beautiful tropical country”.

He also authored a book called "Tour South East Asia with Scott" and has made remarkable achievements even before he became GM of Guam Resort and Spa. He's very optimistic that Marriott Manila will soar higher and better this year. Congratulations to Marriot Manila for having him on board and I'm so excited about the things that he has planned for the hotel this 2012!

There's nothing left to go but forward!
