Entertainment Everywhere with IFLIX!

Yesterday was Fathers Day and I couldn't quite think of anything to give to my Dad as gift. He doesn't need material things, I think he's got tons of that. I don't think he's also the handyman type and love those things in the garage which most Dads do. I thought about the hours he spend watching videos on iPad when he rests or when he tries to get some sleep. It's like a habit and since I'm the good son, I probably should think of giving him iFlix subscription. Now that's a good idea!

IFLIX is a video on demand service that's got countless videos on it's library that you can watch while you're subscribed to them. The thing is, it's designed to work with your handsets too. So wherever you are, when you're stuck in traffic or just at home, you can watch all day from thousands of movies using their app. Now I'm a little worried about costs but I went ahead and installed it on my Dad's iPad yesterday.

Complete with a sad face, the app says I don't have a subscription, but I was quite surprised it's dirt cheap for just Php 129 a month. You can even save more if you purchase Php 1308 per year. I scrolled down a bit and even got the BIGGEST surprise too.

OMG! Would you believe? For customers of PLDT, SMART and Sun Cellular, you can have the subscription for only Php 99 per month! Now that's even better! :) 

As for the choices, my Dad loves action movies. One click on the menu and you've got tons of action movies on your screen. If you're fond of Jackie Chan movies like I am, you'll have Rush Hour, The Tuxedo, or the Shanghai series to start with. Aside from that, they've got tons of TV shows also available on the app. Now, it would be a waste if only Dad would be able to use it right? So the next best thing is to install this on 5 different devices. Yes, you're reading that right. Now I can install this on my 2 iPhones, 2 iPads and use my laptop at the same time. We can watch different shows even when it's in the middle of Edsa as long as I'm covered with my Smart and Sun lines!

Entertainment Everywhere while living the Smart Life!

Aside from that, Smart has got FOX too where you can get 9 new live broadcast channels from Fox International. Now, there's no excuse NOT to be entertained while you're out there. It's like having cable TV on your smart phones, tablets and laptops. It's not too late to be Smart and live the Smart life that everyone's been dreaming of. It shouldn't be hard to do that right? Check out https://www.iflix.com/ today or http//smart.com.ph/smartlife and ask yourself, how do you lead a smart life?

By the way, Dad's still at it today and using the thing to watch Korean shows with Mom. Isn't that the perfect Fathers Day gift? :)

Wattpad Presents: Jenny and the Magic Arinola

I guess people are already waiting for a new Wattpad Series episode this week because they played replay episodes last week together with the Sea Games. As usual, TV5 is offering a new play and flavor to make the fans of this show a little more faithful in finding love in unexpected circumstances. You wouldn't believe this one because aside from the "love story", they're bringing in some magic.

It's been a while since we've seen Alex Castro on TV. Right now, he's doing Pasion De Amor in ABSCBN. His political career hasn't ended yet and he's planning to go for a higher post next election season. This time, he's in TV5 doing a Wattpad episode as a Genie. Yeap! You might see a little skin, that's given... I mean who wears those arabian looking outfits once they pop out of the lamp right? Oh... and that's another thing, they're not actually using a lamp for this episode. The title of the week's book is "Jenny and the Magic Arinola". So just imagine how funny it'll be when he comes out of that thing... they told us it's not just going to be the normal smoke on some instances LOL!

Isabelle De Leon on the other hand has been appearing in Wattpad Presents for a couple of times now. She's also starred in several shows in the Kapatid Network of which one is noted, remember Trenderas? Isabelle is a spirited singer, and she can do ballads, pop to rock without any hitch. Among her many accomplishments, she's considered to be one of the TV5's prized singers and actresses and I think she's even a triple threat. She's putting her singing prowess aside and wore poor girl's clothing on this episode as Jenny. She's about to beat those who have hurt those in the past with the genie's help, but what if she ended up in love with him too?

Home Made Bread, Cakes, Cookies, Meals and Coffee at Kamuning Bakery Cafe

I live in a very peaceful neighborhood, right here in Kamuning, Quezon City. I know the place like the back of my hand. There are only a few places left in QC that you can say, would be still here from ages ago. One of them is the oldest city bread shop called Kamuning Bakery. I often go to this place every week because right after we celebrate mass at Sacred Heart Church, we buy bread and refreshments here. That's not about to change, well a little actually.

The 76 year old bakery that has been the go to place of politicians, artists, singers, celebrities and personalities ramped up the old shabby nook into a well designed store plus a real deal cafe. What you saw on the video is now called Kamuning Bakery Cafe which serves all the bread there, new pasta creations, Kamuning iced tea, Kamuning chicken basket and tons more. You need to go there to taste, and have it. If you're around the area or craving for something home cooked and comforting, their plated meals can do it. 

The new Kamuning Bakery Cafe I must say, is a great idea. New owner, entrepreneur and prolific writer Wilson Lee Flores boasts almost all the products that they have inside the store is cooked the old traditional way via the pugon (brick oven). He's planning to put up another pizza and chicken place by utilizing and reviving the second pugon oven right beside the store. This artisanal way of making bread has been passed on by generations. The bread called Pan de Suelo still remains to be the favorite among consumers - and even that has got history. As for me, their "just right sweetness" Egg Pie, the various cakes and pastries, the new Kamuning Chicken Basket, their Benguet Coffee, the Iced Coffee, their Blue Moon (which I think is a blend of international coffee beans) and their sisig pasta is worth ordering. The good news is, they're open til midnight. If you're up for nostalgia, good food, and great times with friends and family, this place would be a nice refuge. Take the time off and visit them at 43 Judge Jimenez Street corner K-1st Street Kamuning in Quezon City or call them 4112311, 3326066, 4151692, 4126685, 09178481818, 09228321888, 09188077777 if you would like to arrange small events as the place can fit prolly 20 people.   

Kamuning Bakery has been loved by the community since 1939, I think it's about time the whole metropolis knows about the oldest bake shop in Quezon City - and love it like we do.

Enchong Dee and Richard Yap For Wansapanataym Presents: My Kung Fu Chinito

Seeing Enchong Dee and Sir Chief on TV is probably a dream for most of their fans. As you may understand, they haven't been on the boobtube for quite while and the notion of them being together in one project seems a little far fetched. ABSCBN probably thought of the Chinese lineage before they made arrangements to create a new Wansapanataym series for Richard and Enchong. This is entitled My Kung Fu Chinito and hearing them talk about it during the press launch, they seem really excited about it.

Dreamscape announced that Someone to watch Over Me will be put on hold because the queen of soap operas Judy Ann Santos Agoncillo is pregnant. That project is together with Richard Yap and he'll wait until she becomes able to do it again, in the meantime they will have another project with Richard Yap so he's going to be very busy in the next few months.

Richard knows how to do martial arts and Enchong had to train for it. Although he did some action scenes before, this would require him to fight and use harness. It was pretty hard to do this because they're jumping like superheroes. Wushu is Chinese Kung Fu, and they're pretty much going to do this along with the fantasy sequences according to the director. Almost 80 percent of the cast is Filipino Chinese. They made a casting just for this project. This is also the first time Richard is working with Enchong. Even if he doesn't know how to do Wushu, he seemed pretty great at it because he dances. So the flexing moves, it was easy for him. It looked even better on screen because he knows how to move. Enchong on the other hand mentions that Richard is a jokester on set, they laugh profusely before a scene and sometimes Enchong feels that people always takes Richard seriously when he is actually funny in real life.

The story revolves around a matured super hero wanting to transfer his duties and responsibilities to a young man played by Enchong and he had to train hard so he could become one. Enchong also adds that he's not been able to appear that much on TV because he had to concentrate on his album which is now gold. In My Kung Fu Chinito, it's going to be a little dramatic in the next few months. You'll know and understand where he's going to come from because that's where the story is heading in the first few episodes. There is pressure to make this a good and be at par with Yamashita Treasures which had good ratings. This is going to be a little epic, grounded on reality and on a present time setup. You'll understand how these people become who they are before they divulge themselves as superheroes. Enchong wanted to be Lastikman once because people who have done it got immortalized and this is the same thing he wanted to happen with My Kung Fu  Chinito. Hopefully the future Kung Fu Chinito will have to own the medallion that he'll be receiving from Richard Yap in this show. The scenes are really hard, they also had to work even if they're hurt since the scenes are very hard to do as it's choreographed by David Chua, a professional stunt coordinator.

Ms. Mari Lamasan wrote the script and it's an original concept, this is directed by Erick Salud. They were initially doing a love story but since they needed to make a character out of it, they made it into something like a reluctant hero instead. They just followed how the story would evolve on the script, eventually they almost didn't need a love interest because the characters themselves already had a story to tell. You'll really love how My Kung Fu Chinito will turn out to be a well loved superhero, especially for the kids! Richard's character will also be bearing revenge while Enchong will be just loving the fact that he's going to be handling the responsibility of being an icon. He proudly says he wants to be one. He wants Kung Fu Chinito to be remembered like that. The director is also aware and very careful not to anger anyone in the Chinese community, and Richard Yap says most Filipino Chinese are not in agreement with what China is doing but it's really up to governments to talk. Rest assured, everything in the project is just feel good. Enchong added, My Kung Fu Chinito is also about bullying and how people should not do it for the wrong or right reasons.

Wansapanataym Presents: My Kung Fu Chinito will be shown on ABSCBN this Sunday evening so watch out for it!
