Barbie Forteza Excited for "Half Sisters"

We saw a very bubbly and perky Barbie Forteza at the GMA Studios a few days ago. This is my first time to see her in person and I must say I already know why people love her. Her stints in various GMA shows like Stairway to Heaven, First Time, Pilyang Kerubin, Tween Hearts, , Nita Negrita, Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin, Luna Blanca and Anna Karenina made her who she is right now. She's done well in these shows which is why GMA is trusting her with another one together with Thea Tolentino (of Pyra), hunky Derrick Monasterio and new boy Andre Paras. The show is entitled "Half Sisters" which is another melodrama that'll be shown worldwide on GMA Pinoy TV. She's excited about the first episode which they have already done taping and says you should watch it so you get to understand the plot of the story. They are sisters but have different fathers, but they won't know yet until after some time. This explains the different treatment between her and the other sister. She plays Diana Alcantara on this project and pretty much, you'll find her in different hardships as she finds out who she really is... and maybe find the answers to her questions.

Speaking of which, Barbie Forteza will also be seen on a weekly webisode on GMANetwork.com named "Barbie in Bloom". It'll be shown either late June or first week of July and she'll be answering some of the most toughest questions thrown at her from social media. She was really game and didn't bat an eyelash on most of them but extremely giggled when the questions were more about her ultimate crush Dennis Trillo. I couldn't blame her though because she's so right about the things she admires about the Kapuso leading man. More so when Dennis Trillo himself wanted to have a project with her, that made her scream a couple of times during this interview.

She also gave time for her fans that afternoon. She did some fansigns for those who also communicated with her online on GMA's channels. In the interview, she mentioned the biggest challenge she's encountered so far... which is just being game all the time. She wants to be bubbly, presentable and pleasing all the time and wants to do this on and off cam. Even if she's tired, she makes it a point to publicly be accommodating. She owes this much to her fans and it's her way of appreciating everything. She also said she'll try to never be late because she wants to get the habit of being professional... something she learned by the likes of veteran actresses Cherie Gil etc. As for her bashers, she just keeps an open mind and reads them still in social media. If it'll help her in the future, she takes it as it is. There will be more of these questions answered like these when you watch the webisodes.

Barbie Forteza is excited when this shows on June 9 right after Eat Bulaga. This is a real case so you'll surely believe the plot according to Barbie. Her character is not the typical heroine who gets beaten up but a woman with sheer eagerness to fight. She fights because it's right... Thea Tolentino was a little soft but she says they worked together to make it even more intense. This is directed by Mark Reyes. Some of it is being filmed in a correctional facility but finds the people quite good there. She found a whole community and was surprised that they were all so nice. She's also going to be seen regularly in Sunday All Stars and she hopes to do the rivalry episodes with Bea Binene. She finds that very challenging and was so glad she got to work with very talented people in that bunch.

She's a pretty girl, with a very promising career already. Make sure you don't miss any episode of "Half Sisters" 2:30 PM weekdays on GMA!

Lovi Poe Shines in GMA's New Drama "Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real"

Gorgeous goddess and premier drama actress Lovi Poe is at it again. After the very successful shows in the Kapuso network, she's back to play the role of Sheila Salazar - Real in long awaited "Ang dalawang Mrs. Real". She'll be playing opposite Diamond Star Maricel Soriano and paired with third sexiest man in the world Dingdong Dantes. 

Her role in this series would be a lot different than those which she has previously played as she'll be a lot adventurous and strong willed. She's going to give it all for her man. Her vulnerability will also show in the series, much like any woman in her situation. Playing as her husband Anthony Real is Dingdong Dantes. She fell in love and got married with him, not knowing that another one exists. 

Lovi says “My character here as Shiela has a strong personality and is a bit boyish. As compared to my role in ‘Akin Pa Rin ang Bukas’, my character there was a little too weak, she just became strong when she sought revenge. In this one, she already was strong in the beginning but when she found out what happened… no matter how strong she was as a woman, when our hearts get broken.. we just sometimes give up. I think that's exactly what’s going to happen”.

Lovi Poe is excited about this project as she is going to work with critically acclaimed actors like Ms. Maricel and Dingdong. Will she fight for the love or give up once she finds out about the affair? Don't miss this very special Teleserye from GMA on June 2; to be shown during the GMA Telebabad time slot. This is another promising project after Lovi Poe's hit shows "Akin Pa Rin Ang Bukas", "Legacy" and "Yesterday's Bride" proven with high ratings and great performances bar none.

Blue Water Day Spa's Newest Services

One of the biggest names in the spa and care industry just introduced new services that's even a little easy in the pocket. Blue Water and Day Spa that's got branches in Ortigas, Makati, Eastwood, Tomas Morato, Capitol Hills, Naga City and Cotabato City will now have EMANS Massage and their favorite Brazilian Hand and Foot Massage as part of their services.

Now you must be wondering who these celebrities are on the poster, yes that's Anthony and David Semerad on the cover. They're the new image models for Blue Water and Day Spa and it was nice to see them in the flesh as part of the celebrations that afternoon. They really hit two birds with one stone.

The Brazilian Hand and Foot massage was basically made to lift your body. It also hastens to regenerate your skin and make your complexion a tad better. It utilizes a special massage for the hand and feet which techniques were made for the prevention of the appearance of varicose veins by using special crystals. It's something comparable to acupuncture since they concentrate on pressure points without really using needles. It is also said to prevent pain in the wrist and fingers making it all good for hand and muscle motion. Best of all, if you're tired and want to relax from blogging all day... this is the perfect way to get back in the groove again like pampering specific for the hands and feet.

BUM Back To School: The Official Photos

Now I promised you guys a couple of articles ago that I'll be releasing the back to school behind the scenes shots from BUM Equipment's latest campaign "BUM Univarsitee". It pays homage to a colorful, fun and athletic school life. They say it shouldn't be boring or a sad story so they're bringing out their guns and making you choose a multitude of colors perfect to wear in school. Mix and match it with your current wardrobe, it'll still look good. They want you to look different when you go to your classroom and hope you won't look like your classmates. That individuality still runs through your veins and say "I'm proud of who I am!". Everybody should have their own style and should always be non conformist without breaking the rules says Rai Lacoste of BUM. So I'm cutting to the chase because I literally had to write a new article because of these new photos. I know you want to see this! :)
