There Exists: A Wine In A Box

Friday, May 05, 2017


I watch the Ellen Show every day. She's interesting, dances as much as she can and she's super funny. There was an episode a couple of months ago when the Obama's were about to step down from office, a whole enchilada of secret service people lined up at the front of CVS (which is a convenience store, pharmacy and grocery in the US) and when she went down, people were just startled. 

Then Ellen came and announced her arrival, with a MEGAphone haha!



Now I tried to watch this video a couple of times because I specifically wanted to know what Ellen and the first lady described as "A Wine In A Box" as I was really caught off guard by it. I mean, how in the world did that happen? Wines in boxes? Now that's just crazy.


I've been looking for this since then but the only clue I had was it had a wine glass in front of the box. So imagine my surprise when I saw this on the foyer when I got home. Apparently this wine in a box is a Chillable Red Wine from FRANZIA. It's also available locally through Fly Ace Corporation, a leading food and beverage consumer goods company in the Philippines. Franzia apparently discovered this niche so they developed their very own innovative Wine Tap.

Wine taps are often seen on wine establishments and stores but this time, you can actually enjoy and take it home. You can also take it to outdoor parties, picnics, lovely reunions or even your perfect date. Now it's portable and you can just have it chilled without worrying of spoilage because it's packaged right.





For the purists, don't worry because Franzia Wines are still available in California Red 750ml bottles. This 3L box and Chillable Red 3L box is just one of the many things they've thought of in wine serving and if you're up to it, you can now buy it off the shelves of leading supermarkets and wine stores. Visit www.franzia.com and facebook.com/winelifeph if you want to know more where you can get it!

As for me, cheers!

Jaya Almost Quit: Now Stages A Concert

Thursday, May 04, 2017



I have had the pleasrue of seeing JAYA during the hey days and just like wine, I feel she's getting even better. After winning Metropop, countless number one singles, tons of albums, she's back in the concert scene through the Aqueous Entertainment's JAYA: NO BOUNDARIES Concert slated this Friday May 12, 2017. Isn't that good news?




The Queen of Soul is not letting out without new material beacuse as she mentioned "I don't want to be tagged in just one music genre whether it's classical or musical, I don't mind! You can expect stunning performances from my guests too." The concert's title was actually coined by Cornerstone's Jeff Vadillo and Jaya herself to mark her comeback to the concert scene. Producers Vinz Abasolo and David Bhowie Cabawatan promises you'll still get a glimpse of the iconic songs she's had over the years especially those that have marked platinum status plus a couple more of her favorite songs so you could enjoy what's about to happen in this single night. 




Her guests include Queen o R&B Kyla, Thor, KZ Tandingan, Kara, UPGRADE, Dancing in Tandem Royalties, Moira Lacambra, Jannah Zaplan, Nick Vera Perez and Reign Basa. JAYA: NO BOUNDARIES still have tickets available at SMTickets.com, all SM Ticket Outlets nationwide via 4702222 and Music Museum's TIcketron (in Greenhills) or via 7210635/7216726. This is also co-presented by Star Image, Studio Q and is line produced by Cornerstone Entertainment. So remember the date, May 12, 2017 at 8PM. 



"I have a lot of things that I want to share and for that evening, that is the goal. The exciting part is that I'm singing again. I'm happy to be back doing concerts and being on stage, I've been in different parts of the world too because of my friends from cornerstone. I feel honored being in the midst of talented singers too. I didn't realize it is near mothers day but it was just time, I even watched my Mom's videos last night and when my daughter even realized how great she was even now, she'll live forever and she's going to be part of the show. There's just going to be something for all of them. At first I didn't feel like prepared as I'm starting again, but the venue felt just right, I would feel crazy if this is in MOA or Araneta. I still have a dream, perhaps a concert with Regine and Lani, hopefully soon as I never had that opportunity so I'm dreaming about that (never hurts to dream right?). I prayed about this and almost thought of quietly leaving for the US during those 3 years because I had to make a living for my family, I asked the Lord to lead me when I was about to give up and when and event happened, Cornerstone came in the dressing room, and that was my turning point. That was it and now I'm doing a concert, even in other countries, plus It's Showtime on ABSCBN. I suggest those who are just starting, to perhaps when you're up there, don't rely on superficial ajilation. You also have to learn to ignore and let those people be blocked and deleted because all they want are attention. You don't have to give them the pleasure. 
Now the genre is getting wider, broader and even the men are singing different music. There is still so much more out there. My Mom is probably jumping for joy now because she's seeing change happen to me right now. On the concert you'll be seeing a lot of surprise numbers, me and the guests, you'll surely enjoy it!" she added.

This fresh new start seems to be the path she's taking and rightfully so, she deserves all the success she's getting. She's a fellow Trinitian (I'm a different batch) and I hope she does well in all her endeavors. She asked for the signs to stay, I guess she's going to get it all from God, loud and clear. Congratulations Ms. Jaya!

The Ginebra San Miguel Ganado Classics Jersey Collection

Wednesday, May 03, 2017




I just got off the PBA Cafe in Metrowalk Ortigas for the launch of Ginebra San Miguel Ganado Classics Jersey Collection Promo. Who would have known (unless you're a die hard Ginebra fan of course) that this never say die brand has been in the country for over 30 years and is still living that spirit. Now, fans have the chance to get their own jerseys that defined what GINEBRA is today. 




They did the arduous task of finding 5 significant moments and players in the past 30 years to let you be a part of history too. Imagine owning a JAWORSKI 7 First Edition NSD jersey, DAVID 1 for the Ginebra Na!, CAGUIOA 47 for Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings Edition, and recently the THOMPSON 6 Jersey of Barangay Ginebra San Miguel. Take part in getting all these jerseys and be part of the moments where the Ginebra spirit lives. As Ginebra San Miguel Brand Manager Paulo Tupaz puts it, "Fans can now relive the Ginebra San Miguel Team's historic moments as these jerseys represent notable players from different Ginebra eras. From the time Jaowrski started everything to the new generation gin kings, you'll truly feel you're part of the never say die legacy" and this is true.



         OMG it's Bal David in the flesh! 

If you want to get one just buy any GSMI Product and every 5 caps of Ginebra San Miguel, Vino Kulafu or 3 Caps of GSM Blue, GSM Blue Flavors and Primera Light Brandy entitles you to get these jerseys for only Php 100. Isn't that awesome? I think they're almost giving it away for free in that price point. All these jerseys will feature two patches to make sure you're only getting the authentic one, so head on to your favorite supermarkets, convenience stores and outlets nationwide! Head on to Facebook.com/barangayginebra  www.ginebra.com.ph to know more about it. You can also call them at 6322564.



In the meantime, I'll be playing these games with the Ginebra players first! Wish me luck hahaha!

A Good Day and Greenwich Lasagna Supreme

Tuesday, May 02, 2017



So, how did your day go?

Me? It's been a long day. Tiring but very fruitful one as i had the chance to see two pairs of teen superstars plus a few more surprises from  brand that I'm working with this afternoon. I would have to make you guys wait for that as it's highly confidential and we're going to have that released around late May so it coincides with the release of the collection, stay tuned for that!





The trip there was a little bumpy but I didn't mind as I was with my friends and I felt the need to go out with my barkada at the outskirts of Manila. Even if it was just in San Pedro, it was all I needed to de-saturate from busy Manila. I got what I want and when we went home, we all got stuck at C5 for two long hours because apparently there were cops chasing drug addicts in C5 and the shooting incident meant one lane of the road had to be closed, we had to wait more til it was safe to pass.




After all that pseudo stressful adventure down south I thought the day wouldn't be better. Imagine my surprise when I arrived at home and GREENWICH surprised me with these travel essentials. Aren't they sweet?





It's a Green Backpack, a rough and tough Water Bottle, a map of future destinations and my favorite Greenwich Lasagna Supreme. Aghhh... I was drooling the moment I laid my eyes on it. Imagine the layers of pasta sheets, the beefy meat, the fruity-tangy tomato sauce and tons of cheese in one hot dish. Mmmm...

Now I'm good, I'm super excited to write about it (and I did hehe) plus I got to enjoy my #EpicLasagnaSupreme at the comforts of my own home. I also saw I wasn't the only one enjoying this because look at mermaid Yassi Pressman, King of PPOP Dance Julian Trono (Hi Julian!) and the country's premier dance professionals G-FORCE on the Greenwwich Facebook Page on how to spend their summer the best way this 2017!

Now it's you turn to #GWithTheBarkada and make your own epic adventures this summer by visiting your nearest Greenwich pizzeria or call Greenwich Delivery via 5-55-55 to have this delivered to your homes before you embark to that great barkada journey! I know I'm happy, you should too so get that #EpicLasagnaSupreme now!
