IFLIX is Coming

You must be dreaming of good things that will come to the country, and by a stroke of luck,  the entertainment gods listened so here comes the long awaited streaming service called IFLIX. Yes! They are finally going to be in the Philippines.

IFLIX is a video on demand service. You can probably compare this with NetFlix in the US but it is still a start up company. It's got it's base covered by PLDT, among other investors and people that is. It's also listed in the Australian and Malaysian stock market if I'm not mistaken, and backed up by the CATCHA group who's executives are part of some of the who's who of Hollywood production houses, technology groups too. They're pretty much designing the platform and service to fit the Southeast Asian market and - you and me.

During this very intimate launch, they told us that they're having around 10,000 hours of content in the system, including some of your favorite movies, shows, and series. They've got some of the biggest production companies signed up and if this becomes a norm in the Philippines and our other Southeast Asian neighbors, they'll be changing the landscape of video streaming services in the country.

IFLIX is bringing the best of Hollywood into our region. I also heard that they're doing this in unbelievable fashion. It'll be priced to stream per month and there will be availability to download it for mobile handsets which would be better for carrying around rather than use your data caps per network provider. They're also be offering the subscriptions in jaw dropping prices, which they'll be announcing as soon as everything is rolled out!

IFLIX is COMING, and they'll be knocking on your doors pretty soon. I can't wait to test it my self.

Cinq Dessert Boutique

I was just killing time and thought of having coffee in a small cafe at Jupiter street in Makati. They call it Cinq Dessert Boutique located a few meters away from the Buendia MRT station. They had tons of things in the fridge but the one that caught my eye was this Aurore cake.

This stuff is made of dreams. Think of rich dark chocolate ganache, caramel on the bottom, and very minimal crust. There's also macadamia on top and a bit inside the cake. Damn, it was really good. I had them prepare brewed coffee too so I'd have something to pair it with. They have some other cakes but they all look so pricey (confirmed), I guess you really get what you pay for these days. This would be a really good place to hang out after office hours or maybe after going to restaurants nearby and you just wanted really good dessert. It's like a specialty place, you get me right?

Wish I could taste the other ones but I was already pretty late for my next event. I hope I'd be able to go back here soon! It's a little pricey (please remember), but I think for the quality of cakes they have, it's kinda worth it!

Ciao!

TV5 Renews Contract Of Derek Ramsay

Here's more happy news from the happy network! Your favorite hunky and sexy guy Derek Ramsay from TV5 just signed another contract with them for another three years. This means you're definitely going to see him again in top rating programs and reality shows from the Kapatid network. 

Present in the contract signing were TV5's Head of Programming Atty. Dan Padua, JLD Management's Jojie Dingcong, TV5's Chief Entertainment Content Officer Wilma Galvante and TV5's President and CEO Noel C. Lorenzana.

Derek Ramsay says "I am so happy to have renewed my contract with TV5. I'm still working with them in top "Mac N Chiz", Extreme Series "Kaya Mo Ba To?!" and tons of other things in the pipeline. I have no complaints, it's hard, it's something new for the viewers. I had to give back to the network for it to grow. There were rumors in the past of me going to other networks but I immediately quashed rumors because it would be disrespectful to the network. TV5 allows their artists to grow, my priority is with the network and I'll work around it. I have to work hard to make the network bigger and better. The series, we'll be sitting down on that. The Mac N Chiz program is such a happy set, I look forward to always be with John and Empoy in the show. In the Extreme Series, I will do everything except rats. I can do anything but not that. I'd like to also see Kidlat be back on TV, that project is hard but when you see the kids even those from far flung areas without electricity and they call you that hero, the happiness is insurmountable. I'd like to see that be back on TV. TV5 looked me up, this is my home and I'm very very happy here and what we could concentrate more is perhaps movies in these next three years. I'd rather sing than dance, but I'm not too keen on that. I'd rather jump a building than dance. I don't want to injure my self doing that. We're going to get bigger and better and I'll help the channel, thank you for te trust, it's mixed feelings, I'm definitely enjoying my stay in TV5."

TV5 ran a cute throwback video and how his journey with them went like in Amazing Race, Kidlat, Sa Bawat Sandali, and the three years was fun as they say. He's got adoring fans all throughout the Philippines especially the kids who's faces light up when they see him in costume was just priceless. Ms. Wilma Galvante also divulged afternoon shows, movies and another sitcom for him, he didn't know that was going to happen so he was very emotional about it. He has gotten a lot of complements from a lot of people and he's ready to make more good scenes so that even more people would see it. The new one is in the works and they're still in the planning stage. 

No talent fee increase he says and only stayed the same as the one he had 3 years ago. Mr. Lorenzana even said "He's the biggest male star there is in Philippine TV and aside from his good looks, it's who he is that personifies TV5. During the Amazing Race he could have been in the VIP section but he chose to be with the rest contestants, I mean who does that at all!? Every person in the board were unanimous, we didn't hesitate to renew him in TV5."

You have to watch out what would happen with Derek as he's definitely up for a challenge.
