AXE Dares You to #LiveYourStyle

What's your style?

Have you always asked yourself that question? It's kinda intimidating. I've tried to ask that question myself. For me, it's just being easy. I don't quite go overboard, do dress up if it's needed but if it doesn't feel like I have to, I won't. I guess it comes with the territory, I mean most QC people would do the same. If you're about to go to far places, might as well make it comfortable. If you're in the mood to fun and sexy, expensive looking and extravagant, or just simple and chic, men can definitely do that.



You can do with accessories, watches, bracelets, socks, simplicity, quality and rocking smart. Use classy watches when it's in the evening, something sporty in the afternoon, or perhaps use clunky ones because BIG watches are okay. You can also use bracelets. I have nautical ones, some made with paracords, even silvers if I feel like it. You can also do earrings, studs or loops, it doesn't matter as long as you're confident with it.



If you want to be remembered, that's simple. Get a fragrance that could get women crazy for you. The sweet and sexy AXE Chocolate, the classy and extravagant AXE Gold, and the manly AXE Black. I adore the last one the best because it's the one that fits me well. I can use the body spray all day and feel confident, not worrying that I'll be smelling funny after a few hours. You know it does wonders!

So now I ask, how do you #LiveYourStyle?

Fate of the Furious 8 with #SmartGigaMovies


I feel so good just being a Smart Subscriber, especially having been in Postpaid for years because the perks are awesome! Just a couple of days ago I got hooked up BIGTIME because we got to see The Fate of the Furious 8 which has got the original cast of the Fast and the Furious franchise plus a couple of enemies that jumped ship. Now I don't want to spoil the film because a lot of you probably haven't seen it yet. Though let me just give you a hint on how the story turned out. 


You will see a different Vin Diesel here, not because he's tougher, meaner and flipped around but maybe because he's not the same Dominic Torretto because of one reason: FAMILY. I won't elaborate anymore on that part because you might know the plot. But do know one thing, remember that rumor about Vin Diesel and The Rock not being in good terms? Apparently that story is TRUE, how do I know? Well, I paid attention so much about the shots in this film and not once did Vin Diesel and The Rock got into the same frame. Aside from that, when they were being put together, it looked like they were on split screen and that's a lot to actually understand.

(Photo credits to the owner and not mine)
Vin Diesel and The Rock are two alpha males, so I could actually understand why they won't be good friends. They have really strong personalities and if you think about it, Rock's supposed side role is now part of the franchise and that means he's going to be a more prominent cast in the future ones, I do expect a part 9 of course!


Oh and each movie from #SmartGigaMovies also includes a raffle or contest so if you're asked a question, don't hesitate to answer or raise your hand. I felt I needed Brian O'Conner and see what I got after the event! I LOVE THIS!

Now it's just a matter of seeing another great premier at Rockwell as another #SmartGigaMovies premier will happen next month! I can't wait! If you want to join the movies, just follow @livesmart on IG, Twitter and their official Facebook page because that's where the magic happens!

Century City Mall is Now Pet Friendly

Saturday, April 22, 2017



It's a wondeful day to see super cute pets at Century City Mall in Makati. Today they're holding a Philippine Canine Club Inc. event at the top floor of the mall for all dog enthusiasts, even from the Asia Pacific region to see who's the best in show. They have separate categories according to the dog's breed and I don't even know where to look because they are all so beautiful! 





The mall also has pet access registration going on available every Tuesdays, Friday-Saturday. But you can always go to http://centurycitymall.com.ph/ if you want to have them registered early on. Now the rules are simple, you can take your pets anywhere except the cinemas and there are specific stickers which you can find in their stores to know if they are allowed fully or in just certain areas. 


As a responsible pet owner, you should also have them in diapers, on top of paper or plastic when they are dining, and of course you should have a way to pick up after your dog, that's a must! 

It's going to be a regular thing now and they're still in the works of having a few buildings nearby to house condominium units and a supposed Asian Breast Center that's got state of the art facilities for your medical needs soon! They are part of Century Properties, so there's really nowhere to go but up!

Brillante Mendoza Presents: Pagtatapos

Friday, April 21, 2017


A few days ago, we had the chance to watch the next movie made for TV made by brilliant Cannes Film Festival Awardee Brillante Mendoza (oh yes I said that!). This is part of the program Brillante Mendoza Presents shown o TV5 wherein they already released Tsinoy and Everlastig to coincide with the celebration of Chinese New Year and Panagbenga Festival in Baguio City both of which they've utilized lesser known actors. They did this to concentrate more on the story than the personalities and I think it's a good thing.




According to TV5's CEO, "It's not planned to go to festivals or make awards, we just have to be different and be an alternative. We took courage to embark on this and support Direk to do his best work. The first two, it hasn't been much into the taste yet but there is a reason to this partnership. 12 made for tv movies, we are working on a one year relationship. We want to be the home of different kind of producers, directors abd story tellers. The reality in todays medium is that we have to consider the entire journey of the content, the plan is to put this on video on demand directors cuts which we can show on digital content. Direk is working on the talents and there is room for good stories which we hopefully will bring. We are finding ways to bring you quality ones even on a limited depth of talent and hopefully develop more talents in the future as this is a transition, it's a business decision." - Coach Chot Reyes of TV5



"We do have professional and non professional actors and hopefully it will be shown internationally. We have our people go out and make location based movies made for tv and we have a process in place. This is an alternative, a film is a film, and we concentrate mostly on content rather than personalities. Like what I said in past interviews, they got me a go signal to have creative freedom and TV5 gave me that. We do need sponsors and ratings to survive but they got the challenge and didn't ask me to compromise. I don't think I had to lower the quality, and it will find it's audience. A story is a story, if I make a good story then that's where I'll give my all. On the business side, we have a unique budget, a bulk figure then just work with that in these movies made for TV. Everytime it's a different experience as we include the locals. I do realism, they say it's ultra neo realism but I did a different style in Japan which I plan to do also in my next projects.  You should watch out for that."- Direk Brillante Mendoza

Brillante Mendoza Presents: Pagtatapos will be showing this coming April 22, 2017 at 9:30PM. There will be a couple more in the coming months and these works of art will be available to people pretty soon on digital streaming services worldwide so you better get in the habit.
