The Story of Us Grand Presscon

We're at the Grand Press Conference of the Kim Chiu - Xian Lim starrer "The Story of Us" today. Xian and Kim looked as sweet as ever! They first thanked and asked the press to spare space on their columns for the show and told us about the overwhelming feedback of netizens and the Filipino viewers til now.

The Story of Us is also going to have mini stories in between the life of Tin and Macoy, the continuation will be in radio (via DJ Chacha's show) and digital properties of ABSCBN. They're also asking inspiring stories from the OFW's, the public as they will feature them in the show. Mico Del Rosario also mentioned that because of the performance of Zaijan Jaranilla and Alyanna Angeles in the show, they will be also doing a full program for them, doubling good news.

Kim says "This is fun because people can really relate to the characters of the show. Every Filipino would realize that this is also their story. Tonight's episode will have me stay in a motel because of a discount card, funny but it's something that happens in reality. My character wants family first before going into love and relationships. We had fun in New York, Tita Zsazsa cooks for us early in the morning to prepare breakfast and clean the house even if we had a whole day of shooting. It was so cold there, omaygash, Xian tries to keep us warm with ear mops, hand warmer, and coffee. We didn't really like the weather in Central Park as it was dead cold! Every nice place in New York, you'll see that all in the next few weeks. We even rode the free ride to Staten Island and saw lady Liberty"

Xian says "Macoy is a very driven person, he's got a lot to prove like me. We met a lot of people along the way and they tell their stories on how they survive everyday. It's very relatable but when you see Macoy I hope you also see his struggle and learn from it. I love shooting in Times Square, even if it was difficult because there were a LOT of people. Filipinos there even were taking selfies while we were shooting, we felt very welcome because after obliging fans, they give us Pizza too! We were very happy!"

Meanwhile to answer a question about their current status, Xian proudly says "I'm not ashamed to tell people how much I love her, but I have to protect her. "Nagmamahalan kami".

Direk Richard Somes adds "Everytime they have moments, I think the magic is there. We have Xian and Kim to thank for that."

The Story of Us shows on the same slot as OTWOL, which they replaced after it ended a couple days ago. This is part of their primetime.

Hangry No More After Kanguru

Made arrangements to stay a few days in Golden Phoenix Hotel in Pasay City. It's so awesome to be only a few meters away from the Mall of Asia Arena so after we watched "TNT's Super Panalo Day" starring AlDub, Robin Padilla, the whole TNT Team and other stars, it was so easy to go back to the hotel and relax with my Mom.

We were waiting the whole afternoon and taking naps in between... until I got a bit HAngry. HAngry is the term of getting a little annoyed because you're hungry. Well actually, I was about too until I remembered to use an app on my phone called KANGURU. They're a food delivery service. Right now, they've got a couple or more restaurants in Makati/BGC area on their app to choose from. I had my eyes on one that's called Lazy Bastard. I think I've passed by their restaurant a couple of months ago in Jupiter street and didn't go there as I had an event nearby. I smelled grease from the road so I'm thinking this hole in the wall place must be good ha-ha! Anyway, I saw their prices on the app and theirs was I think "the cheapest". I'm a man and I need my burger fix so I ordered two of their Bacon Cheeseburgers, Onion Rings, a Fat Salad Dog and a Honey Parmesan Dog (don't judge). This was gonna be our merienda and Dinner that day so I ordered at around 4 PM. Golden Phoenix Hotel was in Pasay City so if ever they're going to take a longer time delivering that I'd really understand. 

I think I did a pretty good job on actually ordering as it actually amounted to exactly Php 1000. If you think about it, that's like 4 meals for 4 people so in a nutshell, that's already cheap for something that would come from a restaurant right? Now I'm hungry as a bear at this point so I'd really appreciate it if the food was delivered promptly. The premise is, if I was near the Makati and BGC area too they'd guarantee that my food will be delivered in an hour or less. Since I'm in Pasay City (near MOA Arena) I was totally okay if they took a little longer than usual to deliver it. 

After placing the order, paying for it using Cash (specify if you need change for a larger bill), I got a call from their contact center, a text from their office plus an email confirmation which includes all the details of my order. I had all of that on the app already but it was nice that some person was taking care of you while you wait for your order. That's a personal touch, which is good in my books. Aside from that, I wrote in the last portion of the checkout section the address to the hotel so they didn't have to ask me when they called on my Smart phone. They also have credit card and Paypal options which bloggers like me or any online worker would love. Technology at it's finest!

 

I waited for around an hour, and got a text message on my phone saying that the Kanguru rider was already in the lobby. That was fast. And when I got to the lobby, this young man smiled and thanked me for ordering through Kanguru. I think he was very professional. You don't really get these kind of things anymore in ordering food so it was a breeze. I was very hungry though so right after the photo op (I asked permission from Kuya Driver), I carried the bag with the Lazy Bastard burgers, hotdogs and onion rings up to our floor because I was already HANGRY.

I was surprised at the quality of burgers and hotdogs that they have as it was surprisingly VERY GOOD. I'm tempted to order again very soon but might order from a different restaurant next time because I love variety. Mum also said I should cut down on protein (oh yes she touched on that subject) but I digress, I'll do it again. I love burgers and it satisfied me, the Onion Rings was also LARGE cut which I may say was one of the best I've ever had. So the HANGRY became SATISFIED in a matter of minutes. Everything was seasoned well, priced fairly and delivered promptly. If I could do something else, I would have ordered way earlier and had it scheduled on the app (Oh yes they have that!). Now that's special!

Will I order again through Kanguru? YES, I'm planning to do that tomorrow and I can't wait to have those scrumptious burgers again. Oh and the onion rings too! So, shall we?

Meeting FatOut and Vita-E

 We've seen food supplements come and go, some of them promising one thing and not all of them are quite good to tell you honestly. I don't take them because I might be the earliest guest to go out of an event since I do frequent them quite a lot being a lifestyle blogger. What's refreshing to see is that companies seem to have already made headway in making good food supplements these days that not only can keep your FatOut but also keep you healthy and regularly go do your "thing" when you need to. Now I don't mean regular as in everytime, but regular as in the normal way that you do it. ATC has come out with FatOut, a food supplement that hastens to make you go to that regular trip in the comfort room. This isn't just for fat people per se and that's one of the reasons they got Kim Chiu as an ambassador for the brand because it's for everybody who needs it, not because you have to in your shape or form. In my books, that's a good thing because they don't really force it out of you but only makes you "do it" when you want to, in your own regular time. 

As with any supplement, things like these should be taken as directed by your doctor. The active ingredient is Psyllium Husk Powder, something that softens things when you're in a stump (if you know what I mean). Aside from that, it's got Green Tea Extract which I've seen can also keep your stomach healthy just like when you're having it like tea. The Japanese have already been using this for years and I know their lifespan is long, so why not put it there right? I also have read it is rich in anti oxidants which can help you keep healthy blood vessels and heart. The Oat Fiber also helps in cleaning your business down there, so in a nutshell you'll get your digestion in check... who doesn't want that right? Oh and please make sure you are 18 years old and above before you do decide to take it, it was explained to us by ATC's reps (so you can decide for yourself of course and consider yourself an adult).

 This isn't just for ladies. Vitamin E actually helps in better blood circulation, and that's what's in Vita-E. When that happens, you naturally get really good skin. There are some instances that people get breakouts, so in all cases please consult your doctor for it. Vitamin E is seen in vegetables, meat, poultry, eggs, but if you don't have much time or you can't meet the daily allowances then a supplement is recommended. Right after exercise of physical activity, this would be a good place to start and recover with. I don't have this on my regimen but if it'll make my skin smoother, firmer or maintain age marks on my face, why shouldn't I do it right?

Do you need help in digestion? Or do you lack Vitamin E on your diet? Then ATC might have already answered your questions. If this makes you think, believe me, you need it! Oh and before I forget, FatOut has got a promo for those who actually would buy their products. Want to get a chance to see their endorser Kim Chiu? Well all you need to do is get them and join their promo here. For more details on their FatOut Fans Day, please check their channels below. Thanks ATC for explaining things for us, that was a lot of information in one day but I enjoyed it! I'm glad I met FatOut and Vit-E!
