"TUHOG" NOW SHOWING IN CINEMAS NATIONWIDE!

Some of the best people I know in the showbiz industry just decided to make a masterpiece one afternoon and wanted to come at you with everything they have. Something about life without even taking away from it. It makes sense, it talks about real life and the wonders of asking one question... what if you get to see them die? Who deserves to suddenly lose their life?

It was more fun because I got to ask questions about their characters. See? hehe

Who in the right mind wouldn't love someone as good as Ms. Eugene Domingo? She plays a character called Fiesta. Just the name along would probably give you the notion that she's fun. But in this one, she's dead serious. She also presents something so typical of a Filipino trait. It's how we care for our elders. Unlike what is practiced in western culture, we don't usually put our parents up in homes. She feels like her own Father is a burden but she does the right thing and takes good care of him. Even call him her own version of "hell" on some instances. But really, it shows how much she has made life at least a good thing as payback to the one that took care of her all these years. She might have forgotten herself in the process... and when the time arrived for her to have a glimpse to fall in love... will it be the perfect time for her to die while being loved by someone with the likes of Jake Cuenca? oh no...

Good looking Enchong Dee on the other hand plays a virgin. Big issue. Men in their teens or late teens would probably connect with machismo and losing it in one night. Who doesn't even want that? He plays Caloy in this film. Being a guy in a long distance relationship must have its frustrations. You can't touch, have it with your girl. You wait for years and it doesn't happen. And then there's this opportunity for you to do it with others, you just grab it as it comes. I don't even know why I kinda relate with him LOL maybe it sounds like some people I know. When the one you love suddenly appears and catch you doing it with someone else, who wouldn't get mad right? Well it's one thing that he gets caught, but what if he hasn't said sorry to the love of his life then gets to meet an accident and die? 

Leo Martinez plays Tonio, a retired old man living his dreams at the expense of his family. Making decisions here and there that are outright crazy. He wants to do so many things before he gets too old for it. But while everything was already going right for him, he gets into the same accident. Does he deserve to die too? Oh my...

A masterpiece that was just made in a workshop then turned into a full film, who wouldn't want to watch this! Who makes it into this whole TUHOG incident and doesn't appreciate something so dark, yet so fun in between stories. It's making raves right now on cinemas and it's not too late to go ahead and watch it... who dies in the end? It's an offering from Star Cinema in celebration of their 20th year in the film industry plus they get to work with one of the best indie film outfits Skylight Films. You just have to find out! Watch TUHOG on cinemas nationwide!

Kim Chiu and Xian Lim stars in Bakit Hindi Ka Crush Ng Crush Mo

Fans have been eagerly awaiting this film and why not, it's the hottest love team in Philippine TV and Cinema who's starring this flick. The beautiful princess Kim Chiu and the hunky Xian Lim in celebration of Star Cinema's 20th year is going to answer one tough question: Bakit Hindi Ka Crush Ng Crush Mo? 

In the blog conference, they answered some very tough questions as bloggers and fans get to ask those that's about the movie, and their personal life. They gamely answered but you can feel how Xian reacts to kilig questions because he smiles first before doing it. Kim Chiu on the other hand never fails to charm us with her quirky anecdotes and experiences while doing this film. This is their first team up on film and onlookers have nothing to say but good things since it's also directed by the one and only Bb. Joyce Bernal. 

Kian's role is Edgardo, Kim's bf who turned EX and starts Sandy's depression. Xian's Lim is a rich boy who owns the company and later on promises to change Sandy played by Kim Chiu. Sandy is from the city of Busobuso, prolly fictitious but it shows how much she was a little late both in the looks and personality department. 

Xian just celebrated his birthday and says this was his happiest because he feels how important it was to celebrate it with the people he loves. When asked what gift Kim gave him, they both said "sobra sobra na" then laughed it off. 

Kean Cipriano says everyone probably has felt and gone through the situation and they agree that it is very realistic. Writer says it's a hundred percent loyal to the book where this was based from and they didn't have to do much in creative production. Ramon Bautista also has a hand in making the film and Direk Joyce had very good execution for this romcom.

They are excited too as this is one of the few instances where Star Cinema is doing something based on a book. Kim was so glad that the scenes were so light and totally different from the heavy drama they usually do on TV. 

We had so much fun hearing their answers especially when Rod Magaru asked "What is beauty?" A very beauty queenesque question, so funny! 

People should truly watch this movie coming out in July 31! You'll see a different kind of Xian Lim, a different Kim Chiu and a different story that will surely surprise fans soon! 

Here's more photos from the press conference!

Hope you love the photos! Nuod tayo ha! =)

The Canon Pixma MX527 Experience!

One of the nicest things ever for a photographer to see is to have his work printed. It kinda gives you a real world feel on how your images impact yourself and other people. It's how you see the quality of each shot and physically hold it rather than just see it digitally on computers. It's like honoring the quality and having people appreciate it. I haven't had may done in such a long time.

This is Canon's Pixma MX527. This is one of the most talented, multi function Inkjet printers that Canon has on their belt. It's a printer, scanner, copier and fax machine all in one. Best of all, it's wireless, so you don't really have to worry about logistics of running wires, networking cables around your house. Just plug it in, install the drivers and have it connected to your wireless network.

Have you ever had that problem about always having to turn on that computer that's got the printer attached to it so you can use it as a network printer? Well you don't need to do that on this one because it can stand alone. With it having designated IP on your network much like a print server, you can save a lot of standby power and don't have to have that PC ON all the time just to get other pc's on the network have this function. It's also got a more ergonomic interface which can easily be learned in just a few minutes.

To get the best output possible, it's also a must to have genuine Canon printer cartridges. The Canon Pixma MX527 uses #740 Black and #741 for color. Boxes come with hologram stickers so you can spot the real ones from the fake.

I tested it's scanning abilities by doing myself the best editing job yet for a photo. I plan to restore my graduation pic haha (so don't judge LOL).

It's got water damage, spots the whole thing as it got wet during a storm (coz Mom wants to show it off to relatives in our living room, it's got a window). So cleaning that up would probably be a nice thing to do with my photo editing skills.

Just press the scan button, then the green button to execute.

The scanner was solid. It was fast and I didn't have to wait too much for the output. As for details, it did deliver so I don't need to do much when editing. Maybe it would take me an hour to do this plus my other prints. I'm loving every bit of it!

I installed the cartridges... and it was easy!

Take off the seal, pull down the levers and insert the cartridges. Then after that, just pull the lever up and get the printer cover on again. It's that simple!

I installed the drivers and used LPR or IP printing. You have to connect the printer to the wireless network and after it gets the IP address, you just have to let your computer search for a network printer. It was pretty easy for me.

Press the MENU button then choose to scan and select the Access Point

 If you have security employed on your network, you must input the passphrase. I have WPA2 on mine so I went in and did that.

You have to choose the source and can even get it online directly from the printer. I chose the one from my laptop computer as the source.

I edited the photo I scanned on the Multifunction Printer. It took me a few minutes. Then after that, I printed it out. It took a few seconds per photo and I figured this was what I'd expect from a Canon Pixma printer.

 

No more water damage! It's even better looking! =)

The Canon Pixma MX 527 has great printing speed. It's usually measured my PPM or IPM. The term  stands for pages per minute and images per minute. This is an ISO standard set for all manufacturers and this one stands at 5.5 IPM.I didn't settle for just looking at the specs of course! I did the next best thing and tried to print some of my shots from Philippine Fashion Week!

Then of course after a few minutes, I had the best photos printed out!

Some of the stars that have graced my lens are here! Sarah Jessica Parker, Apl de Ap, some of the Glee cast, Lee Min Ho, Richard and Lucy, Jennelyn Mercado among others. Then after that, I got Furne One from Philippine Fashion Week also done!

It was so nice! I had both Photoshop and the Printer manage my color settings. It was really awesome to see my shots physically here! 

The Fax Machine was too advanced that when I tried to send something from our other line it printed out like a copier machine on this end for the black and white text that it had. The sending on the other end was slow, but when this machine received it... I couldn't believe it took around less than 3 seconds to do it. The copying was good, I even tried different paper sizes and it didn't have a problem at all. The scanner was so smart, I didn't have to crop anymore because it seemed like it detected the photo all on it's own when I did it to my graduation photo. I'd like to thank Canon for letting me experience printing off a truly world class device. The Canon Pixma MX527 indeed has delivered for printing, scanning, fax and copy features. I am just truly impressed! I hope this isn't the last time you would get me to try one of your machines. I just got addicted to its speed, performance and color. I have to give it to you guys, this is really your forte!
