Extra Service with Director Chris Martinez

Chris Martinez just headlined last MMFF with his great Eugene Domingo film "Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 2" plus the blockbuster Vice Ganda and Coco Martin starrer "Super Parental Guardians" and he's not stopping there because this 2017 he wants to open the new year with a bang. A movie with Coleen Garcia, Arci Muñoz and Jessy Mendiola, Star Cinema proudly presents a swash buckling, sexy action adventure film called EXTRA SERVICE. 

No, it's not what you think you naughty little boy. It's affinity to that and what is served is something funny. I've seen the trailer and got to see Coleen do waxing services with Vin Abrenica, Arci does foot massage with a foot looking man, and Jessy play around with Enzo Pineda. Now they're not just masseurs all day because they're a real deal crime fighting squad and agent spies set to seek the lost "Perlas Ng Silangan". They've got to find the secret treasure that belongs to the Philippine government via the original femme funny fatale Ms. Carmi Martin.

Direk Chris Quirps "This movie is in some way a work around beautiful faces. They trained under Erwin Tagle who's a champimm fighter. They were all willing to undergo rigorous trainings, they did mixed martial arts and were done seriously. But if they need to make it funny, they also use massage moves. The formula? There's none, but you always do what you can creatively. This is up my alley and I can do this without doing anything nasty. This is spas by day and spies by night and I've done really funny things so make sure you stay at the last part of the movie because there will be something there for you. I always have flare, something sexy, something explosive and more. The ladies have no hangups, when Star Cinema called me there are already stars and I've worked with some of them years ago. They're going to be funny physically so it's very new to them and the audience. Add to that really physically fit boys like Enzo, Vin and EJ and you know you're having a great time. They were afraid at first but all I asked of them is to just have fun. When they made this, they were developing characters and they envibed them right away. Even if Arci was tired, she got it already, no qualms at all. You'll love them for sure. They (the men) were excited and knew they had to show everything that they can do, they're going to channel different characters and you have to watch how they get involved with the ladies. EJ may not be in the trailer but he's got a surprise in this film as an ex who wants to get back with her (Arci). They have different relationship angles, but all in the spirit of fun without being overboard on sexy comedy."

The movie is under Star Cinema and Skylight Films and will show on January 11. This is the first offering of the production so you better watch this if you love the ladies!

Papa Jack Officially Leaves Love Radio

Ever wondered why Papa Jack went missing on Love Radio? He's the hit show host of TLC: True Love Confessions and he's been teaching a lot of love struck Filipinos for over 12 years about how to deal with love, with being real and tells it like it is. He suddenly went missing during mid December and people have been looking for him. According to a source, the talented radio jock seems to have resigned from his radio station amidst conflicts with management and his career decisions. This really caught us, his listeners really off guard.

He's currently being sought for by other radio stations and TV Networks but have decided take a short break first but plans to put up a radio show and podcast very soon. Now isn't that more exciting? Aside from that, you'll hear him no holds barred and you'll get an even better version of this guy in the future shows. I wonder where he's going to next?

Mario and his Friends in McDonalds Happy Meal

If you haven't seen it yet, McDonalds released new toys for the McDonalds Happy Meal! It's just in time for the Super Mario Run release last December 15 and I've been playing it for a couple of days already. Although not all of these guys are on the game, the history was enough to spark interest with these cool guys who have already been part of my childhood and they're going to be part of this generation. That's something really good.

Yoshi here is an Egg Sticker Dispenser. Just roll out the strip using that grooved dial and let him lat eggs of different colors and sizes! Pretty neat!

The enemies are also in cute stuff, King Koopa just brought his manual spinning plane which you can twist around nunerous times and he still won't be dizzy! At least he won't bother Mario :)

Princess Toadstool brought her pretty dress and umbrella but you can find tons of stickers underneath her skirt, just pop it open like a bottle and you'll see her favorites like flowers and stuff, most little girls chose her, so stores might run out of these very soon!

Cute and bubbly, Toad would love to wave at you all day! Jusy click the notch on his back and his arms and hands would go up and down. Like airplanes would stop if he's around, but not if it's Koopa on the plane of course!

Ever hated these ghosts? Boo can give you a fright while his tounge goes from side to side. Now think about it, if he's chasing you while you're getting those coins, wouldn't that be scary? I bet!

This one is cute, the Small Mario with the Question Mark Box that gets you a star when you hit it. This is a super nice piece!

My favorite character of all, spins like there's no tomorrow. He'll surely hit other characters if they're around. I will still play with him if he's in the game!

Super Mario complete with sound effects so you can hear him jump and jump and jump whenever he needs to and want too. Again, you can get him FREE in every McDonalds Happy Meal so rush to stores before the month ends!

Maisen Opens Restaurant with a Japanese Bar at Shangrila BGC

I'm so excited to tell you about this. This is Maisen Shangrila BGC and we've featured their restaurant a couple of months ago when they opened shop at SM Megamall. There's no stopping them. Maisen is first and foremost a Tonkatsu house and they serve premier meat dishes, but their Kurobota Meat is by far the best in Manila. I've had the chance to actually try their dishes ahead of the public via their special invitation. I was a little late so I didn't get to talk with the other bloggers, but that's a good thing since I'd be enjoying the food and ambiance myself without peer influence, turned out like a good thing eh? :)

This is a sight to behold, their Shio Pork. Shio means salt which is basically the only seasoning the pork needs when it's lightly roasted/fried. It comes in a set so you can wrap it up with lettuce leaves and dab a little of everything like the chili, put in radish, scallions, Kimuchi and even the Philippine calamansi. You must have this hot so you could get to eat it while on a soft state. You can't really reheat it and they use a steel pot for obvious reasons. Make sure you eat it fast!

This is the Oshi Meshi Unagi. It's grilled eel slices that's smoky, sweet and savory, put on top of white Japanese rice. It haunted me in the next few days because I was craving for it. It was still flaky when I bit it, but it's designed to be devoured in one mouthful. I didn't want any sauce on it as it's good on it's own. This is one of their new dishes in this joint. It's super good if you're a fish lover!

This Maisen branch in Shangrila BGC is special because it's the only one that's got a full working wet bar with classically Japanese trained bartender as they want you to experience the exceptional city that never sleeps, like as if Tokyo/Ginza District would be brought to Manila. Now it ain't your typical bars with some lazy drinks that they could probably whip up to, they've got specials and I've had the opportunity to taste them. My personal favorite was the Pineapple Vodka and they did it with flare. To let you get that experience too, I've shot a short video of my Maisen visit. Here you go!

So now you've got Maisen in SM Megamall, SM North Edsa, Greenbelt 5 and the newly opened one in Maisen  in Shangrila Mall at BGC. You've got a dining destination plotted out for you and it's time you try their drinks, especially my personal favorite the Pineapple Vodka. Please ask for it when you're in Maisen's Bar and I assure you, you're never going to have another look at Vodka the same way again! 

Trust me on the vodka LOL!
