James Reid Endorses Fujifilm

Takuya Maeda of Fujifilm quips "Since we started our business here, together with our X Photographers we have been successful in penetrating our market because we're not just after sales, we're about making great cameras. Thanks to our influencers, our customer service centers, we have been successful in satisfying the Filipino customers even though the market is in a slump. We are increasing sales and we provide ways and reasons how to make customers enjoy our cameras. We can't think of any other endorser who would appeal to our market more than James Reid, he is sophisticated, good looking and he's got what we say that knack for photography."

It feels great to endorse a product that I use everyday! I only discovered it end of last year, pretty recent, I used different cameras before but it's the style I sticked to. I used the XT2, my favorite. It shoots in 4K video and I use it on the teleserye, very helpful. I have a lot of good memories in this canera, and BTS? They're coming. I guess I just pick the best ones and post it on Instagram, I'm a fan of apps but it's so much better to have it physically on hand that you can give the people. I love architecture, the places I go to give that, I take landscapes, my girlfriend (the crowd kinikig). I'll have an announcement post soon. You'll see it on my Instagram account too. 

I take photos of her when she sleeps, we travel a lot so she's my favorite subject. I have yet to experience taking photos of other people, I haven't though about it yet what to put in an exhibit. I don't know what line I'm interested. I think I'm a good photographer, they say I have a knack or eye for photography.

The project I'm in (showing on August 29) tackles LGBT relationships, I'm glad that ABSCBN trusted me with daring projects like that. I love Santorini and Mykonos, it's impossible to take a bad photo there. The most beautiful photo I've taken of Nadine is the one in Lake Tahoe. I like the XT2 and the videos and photos are used as part of the show. The design is me. Nadine got me into photography, she takes a lot of photos of me and I do too with her since she is my favorite subject. 90% of the scenes in my new show has this in my shoulder. I'm used to it, it's part of the job, it's been a long time and we're used to it. 

Congratulations James on being the newest face of Fujifilm!

Get "The Secret Life of Pets" in Every McDonalds Happy Meal!

It looks like McDonalds is taking news of pets that seem to have some sort of secret lives very seriously. Word has it that Max seem to have not only been that little cute terrier we thought he was. He must have turned into a threat when his human owner adopts bad boy Duke. Just outside their home, they saw a group of not so ordinary alley cats who got caught with them inside the city pound. Cute furball bunny Snowball tries to them all from captivity while demanding Max and Duke to join his gang of disgruntled pets against these humans who have done them wrong. It's a great movie for kids, so they know how to take care of their pets, not leave them without proper care. The cuteness is personified in these Happy Meals out on McDonalds stores nationwide!

They have their own different features and they're not just ordinary toys. They've been out on stores for quite some time now and people are hoarding it. You should definitely drop by McDonalds today and see if you could get your hands on The Secret Life of Pets in every Happy Meal!

Universal Harvesters Incorporated Launches 2nd TOFARM Film Festival

I haven't seen this event last year, but it's always a good day to get acquainted with TOFARM FILM FESTIVAL as they create a new avenue for film makers to showcase their work on it's second year. Universal Harvester Incorporated's Executive Vice President Dr. Milagros How expressed her excitement as they are seeking talented individuals from all over the country, of which they just started the first leg this August 24-30, and starting the ones in Cebu and Davao this September and October too.

With the theme "Planting Seeds of Change" they want to take this year's festival to new heights to en-vibe the farmer's everyday realities and tell stories that reveal success, hard work, and life stories of those who belong in the agricultural sector. They are working in difficult regions, and the corporation has been also giving awards for unheard farmers who have been able to inspire others since a few years ago. They are doing something and that's a great deed in itself.

Festival and Famed Director Maryo J. Delos Reyes says "This came in a time where there should be an awareness amongst our people that agriculture, farming and the life around it should be regarded as a noble and honorable profession. Working on the theme Planting the Seeds of Change means the farmer needs to open himself up and imrpove his life, accept change and innovations so they could farm even greater and yield a film that talks about their lives, include this in the process. I enjoin hobbyists and producers before Friday at the TOFARM offices, accomplished forms with synopsis and a full length screenplay in Filipino. We will make sure everything will be impartial and be sure we are producing quality films."

In this year's festivities, the judges, the screening committee and organizers are going to pick 6 film scripts which would have a Php 1.5 Million grant to start off their projects and put it on the silver screen. The judges then will award the 3rd Best Film Php 300,000, 2nd Best Film with Php 400,000 and the Best Film with Php 500,000. There will be a Special Jury Award also amounting to Php 100,000. The winners will also take home the coveted TOFARM Film Fest Trophy, something only a few people posses. They already set a deadline on November 18, 2016 so if you are thinking of joining, you better have your entries submitted before that date.

For more information on how to join, please check out their official website www.TOFARM.org and their official Facebook Page TOFARM Festival Philippines. You may also reach them at info.TOFARM@gmail.com.

Mountain Dew Asks YOU to Choose, Gets YOU New Pickup Truck!

I had a ton of work, a photoshoot and a full working day during this launch so I missed it. Although that doesn't mean I wouldn't enjoy what Mountain Dew has up their sleeves at home. See, they have come out with Dewmocracy. A term they coined to introduce two of their newest flavors. I am currently a stockholder of Mountain Dew (a joke, but I've probably held down countless liters of the original Mountain Dew these past few years). I've probably drank half of it during my blue collar days as it keeps me awake in the office, people get scared when they see me easily drink a whole 1.5 bottle in one sitting. I guess it's because I like the lime flavor, it takes me back to when we were kids and I enjoyed this in glass bottles. To cut the long story short, I'm a big fan. Now that they've decided to make us have a CHOICE with these new Mountain Dew flavors, I couldn't wait to get my hands on Mountain Dew Live Wire and Mountain Dew Blue Shock. Now how about the taste?

Judging by the looks of it, colors are VERY attractive. The Mountain Dew LiveWire is pretty much your lovely Dew with a blast of Orange. When cold, you get to feel that extreme burst and sharpness on your tongue, then leaves you with a more intense orange flavor. It was like a jolt, but definitely something to love other than the original one. 

The other one is the Mountain Dew BlueShock. Like the name says, it's Raspberry Citrus flavor comes like a shock. I bet this would be good for those who want something unique, because it is different. Taste wise, it's like a mix of fruit juice or more of a mocktail without the guilt of alcohol and just uses 2 fruit flavors to achieve that.

For those who would choose Mountain Dew Blue Shock or Mountain Dew Live Wire, they're making it even EXTRA fun by letting you choose your favorite among these two flavors. This is a DEWmocracy after all and everyone who practices his voice and use either hashtags #DewBlueShock or #DewLiveWire would stand a chance to win A NEW PICKUP TRUCK when you vote the winning flavor. Now how's that for your NEXT wild adventure?!

Now go post your entries on Instagram or Twitter to make your voice count. Follow them on the same channels @MountainDewPH and their official Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/mountaindewPH to know more about the promo. I personally would choose #DewLiveWire because I like it's flavor more. Letting people know about it on Instagram and Twitter could win me a NEW pickup truck, I say bring  it! I want one! Woohoo!
