I am still trying to get over those olympic qualifiers where the Philippines proved to be at par with the world's best and I just learned that it's only 5 days to go before the actual Summer Olympics start at Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The most awaited part will happen on August 6 the open ceremonies wherein these olympians will march down the grand stadium so they could wave to the crowd and represent their country in the most awesome sports event that only happens every 4 years.
TV5 has been able to get the biggest sports events covered, not to mention the last FIBA Olympics Qualifying Tournament just last month and they've done a spectacular job doing that. This RIO2016 won't be different as they will show some of the most exciting matches and events that our own 12 Filipino athletes will compete in. The rest of us at home should cheer because once they step into the ring or run on that track, we need to give them the support they deserve so we could win that elusive gold medal.
Catch the LIVE RIO OLYMPICS broadcast that will happen 7AM on August 6 at TV5 or you can stream it on www.SPORTS5.ph and all other affiliated channels on cable and UHF TV. The RIO2016 coverage is of course presented and powered by PLDT and SMART, the country's biggest network! Let's all get that Filipino heart pumping when it starts on August 6 and end on August 22, 2016!
I was able to cover the launch of the Regal Babies last 2015 and yesterday, I was a little surprised they're adding 4 more artists to the roster. Mother Lily certainly has never let down in discovering new talents and the ones I saw looked very promising. We had a small chat with them and got them all on video but before that let me introduce you to the new Regal Babies!
David Licauco is a professional model. He's been featured in various magazines and has been able to capture the hearts of ladies young and old. He's got a body of a demigod and those charming chinky eyes that would make your knees weak, how can you not love this boy? Aside from that, he's a title holder. He placed 1st Runner Up in Mr. Chinatown 2014, a sure fire reason to adore him even more. He's also raring to do drama or action movies, also very straight forward on the way he talks which is something I find really refreshing for those who usually filter their answers on interviews. Aside from that, he's very well educated. He just finished his course recently and he's very proud of his accomplishments. You'll love how he looks in person, and if you get to watch him on screen. I bet, he's going to be loved by a lot of ladies.
Chanel Morales is no stranger to show business as she's been one of the prettiest in TV5's stable for quite some time now. She's been released recently and this comes as an opportune time to spread her wings as an actress. I think I still get the gist of people looking at her to be an "expensive" kind of lady, as she is classy whilst her looks fit the role. Although when I got the chance to get to know her personally, she's actually a cowgirl, really nice and approachable. She's done countless shows in the former network and after signing up with Regal, she wants to do more romantic, drama and even horror flicks. I like her personality, quite bubbly. If she's done a remarkable job in previous shows, I'm sure she's bound to do good with more projects now that she's with the legendary film outfit. It was a pleasure talking to you dear!
Danes Lee (as Danielle Lee is fondly called) is formerly also from the Kapatid Network. She's done several shows and is very pleasing to the eyes. She's very confident, I like the way she carries herself. She's also the sister of Divine Lee, whom she says will cater more of hosting gigs while she's going to concentrate more on acting. She's quite beautiful and I could see her into more sexy comedy flicks or perhaps drama, she's up to anything. She also wants to become a beauty queen and follow the footsteps of Pia Wurtzbach or Megan Young, I could see her doing that too.
Jerico Ejercito also hails from the said clan. He's the grand son of former Laguna Governor Jeorge ER Estregan Ejercito and definitely picks up after their looks. I was surprised how very matured he thinks whilst telling us about his passion in acting. He's also a champion body builder hence the sculptured physique. You could tell he's a very intelligent lad by the way he talks, he also graduated Political Science in De La Salle University. He also learned a thing or two from growing up with showbiz family members and is eager to learn from the best actors in the industry. He's keen to do more action films in the future and very hungry to do challenging roles where he could further learn the ropes in the showbiz industry as he believes he's got to do the legwork and not just rely on his family connections. A noble guy with good looks and that body? Now ladies, don't you want to take him home to Mom and get married? LOL
Mother Lily remarks "I'm very excited! My Regal Babies have consistently turned out to be box office superstars and I'm sure these 4 are no exception. I see a very bright future for David, Chanel, Danes and Jerico."
The new Regal Babies are also managed by renowned Talent Manager Arnold Vegafria of ALV Talent Circuit. Regal Films' Roselle Monteverde exclaims "We trust Arnold's sharp eye in discovering talents. He's got a long roster of stars under his belt and his credibility is unquestionable. We're happy that we got to work with him and his talents for future projects that will be made for this generation." Now that sounds so re-assuring!
Here's our interview with David Licauco, Chanel Morales, Danes Lee and Jerico Ejercito. Enjoy!
Here are some shots from the contract signing yesterday!
Thank you to Regal Films, Sir Tinnie, Sir Arnold Vegafria of ALV Talent Circuit for having us in your event! Can't wait to see them all on the silver screen soon!
I've had this brand in our pantry for ages as much of the people at home are heavy tea drinkers. We also get a little festive at home, even more when there are guests of friends and family so we do get Liptom Iced Tea served in so many ways. It makes conversation fun, sweetens up things and keeps us hydrated. It gives that positive vibe no matter what time of the day!
The good news is, Lipton is evolving. They want their products to fit a new generation of tea drinkers as they up the antè with taste and the benefits you get from having real tea. The drink also has low calorie content so you don't have to worry doing other things all throughout the day because it's light and easy. The Green Tea variant was a favorite at home, with that light lemon flavor, you get the lovely refreshing feeling in each gulp because you know it goes good in any situation. The Red Tea on the other hand has that lovely deeper tea flavor but with a hint of orange, making it sweet but a little tangy. The classic Lemon Iced Tea on the other hand still satisfies me. Sitting on the top floor balcony, letting the sun shine while you watch the sun set on the horizon. Ending the day with a sweet note, dreamy, but imagine all the possibilities!
Lipton pushes you for positive change. Take it easy, take it one day at a time. Make yourself enjoy the moment and see how you, your friends, and family could make every day a #LiptonPositiviTEA day! I'll go ahead and share these bottles to the most precious people at home, so go buy one in your favorite convenience stores, groceries, supermarket and be a good man or woman by bringing positivity to friends and family everyday!
I visited the Egghead Audiohub through the invitation of Sennheiser folks a couple of days ago. I've been a fan of their products especially the microphones, but had little knowledge about their other audio products. Turns out they have a whole line of headphones and their flagship products have been released recently and we got to try them out recently. I imagined it to be some unfathomable high tech devices but the two kind gentlemen from Singapore put it in plain words for me and a couple of bloggers I was with that afternoon. I'm not much of an audio expert, but since I have background in Engineering I know the concepts of audio and acoustics. These are the same technologies they use for features of the headphones particularly the noise cancellation so you can take care of those in the background. I learned a lot in one hour, but I bet you guys should be in it too.
This is the Momentum wireless headphone. It comes in Over Ear and On Ear models and are quite comfy. As for aesthetics, they do present their designs as very modern in terms of technology but is still reminiscent of what was happening in the 70's. Yes, you'll get that classic look but you won't be shortchanged on technology. These headphones both have 90% noise cancellation technology. It's so remarkable to compare them with the other while we were there at the Egghead Audiohub because you can literally try them on first before purchasing it.
I actually like the On Ear version most because my ears are kinda out there - and this basically makes my face look smaller as it gets pressed or tucked in gently. I swear I could wear this for hours and not get tired while listening to my favorite music. I could picture myself in my man cave and have this for pleasure, a thing that countless men would do in their spare time.
These are the HD 650 (left) and the HD 630VB (right). It's quite different for a reason because the left one is designed Open which means you can get the air travel freely on the headphones. You'll get that open air concert venue quality which is quite lovely especially for those who love voice/crooner type of music, plus the comfort wearing it because air flows in and out. The other Closed type headphone on the right is quite fancy, it's got dials on the headphone's sides so you can play with bass levels. It's also got a manual switch for iPhone or Android remotes so you can control it. You're also assured of quality as it is made in Ireland, standards are a little better there!
These are the HD 800 and HD 800S. It's available in Silver, Matte black finish. The headphone's "absorber" technology makes smoother sound even more easier to listen to - so you can use it for longer times. This would be great for unplugged music and make you feel that you are there in a concert, or studio. It costs roughly around Php 66,990 and Php 92,990 and is made from Germany. A lot of concert artists and professional musicians use it, and it sounds absolutely phenomenal I'd want one for myself.
This one is the Amplifier HDVD 800, it costs around Php 115,990. I was quite interested about this because of the cable that they're using with it. As with any sound equipment, I know that cables matter. Their Balanced Cable actually improves sound and it comes with the headphone already. For the quality it gives, I'm sure this specialized connections have played a role on how sound would turn out on the device. Remember, each wire has resistance, when you run current through it makes or break the acoustics and engineering has played a huge role in getting that perfect sound to come off of it.
Thank you so much to Egghead Audiohub and these young fine gentlemen from Sennheiser who accommodated us inside the store. You should come and visit as they have these new Sennheiser models on display which you can try out even before you purchase it. They've got a studio at the back too so don't be afraid to ask if you want to experience world class audio in one place. Egghead Audiohub is at the Shangrila Mall's East Wing, at the 5th floor left side if you're facing the main entrance. They are open mall hours so go ahead and take a look!
