The IDEAFIRST Company Artist Management

It looks like a new wave of talents is coming your way via The IDEAFIRST Company. Now they won't be just producing shows for TV5 but putting up The IDEAFIRST Company Artist Management means they'll be handling in house artists, a range of Directors to be part of a whole plethora of talents made to cater and complement what the content creators from The IDEAFIRST Company is already doing. 

Perci Intalan says "We are excited, it's like coming of age, exciting times, and it's interesting. Storytellers are already getting fame, social media makes them celebrities just like in Hollywood. It's a sign that the formula is changing, the good story, the good cast is now appreciated. When we started the company, we wanted artistry to be the heart of the business. We expanded beyond production and now it goes in different ways, this is in the heart of IDEAFIRST Company."

7 of the brightest Directors have banded together and will be part of the Dominic Lim, Ivan Payawal, Mikp Livelo, Prime Cruz, Sigrid Bernardo, Perci Intalan and Jun Lana. This will mean they will line produce for the big studios and represent these celebrity Directors and manage them accordingly. We will support them, tell them the next step, Directors and writers don't know hownto represent themselves so we are empowering them even if they are not doing projects under us, but with other production companies. Though they have different styles, they will still tell the stories how they want it. Some will get to work together, and will make this grow. Be prepared to see even more great stories, as they will be mentored by the people from IDEAFIRST Company specifically Perci Intalan and Jun Lana. 

Direk Jun Lana says "Managing talents came in at the right time. It's like a natural extension of what we do and we have them all work with us in past projects, you'll know about them later. When we created IDEAFIRST, we knew we had our hopes on the creative side so we really invested with great writers and storytellers. We will continue to be a production company and we will be content creators for other companies."

As mentioned earlier, they will also be managing talents and we got to see three of them. Cedrick Juan, Adrianna So and Christian Bables.

Cedrick Juan introduced himself and said "I came from FEU and UP theater companies, worked hard and had to represent myself. I personally talk to producers and tell them what I do in theater in the hopes of getting roles in films or TV. I am so glad I'm going to be taken cared of by IDEAFIRST, with a clear career path and vision of who I want to be as an artist."

I have watched how Malak So now Adrianna So grow as an artist in TV5 but now that she's out of the contract, and now joining IDEAFIRST she says "When they asked me what I'd like to achieve, I wanted to be a good girl. It was my first time to also be in the lead. We discussed changing my name (which she had long been wanting to do) but didn't get it at the time. (Now they did it and she's glad to keep the surname as she keeps it for her mom). I trust these people, I believe IDEAFIRST has a lot of things in mind that they could do for me. I am so glad to be with them."

Christian Bables adds "I've been asked by so many people and management companies but I know how they are like family to me. IDEAFIRST made me and I am so excited to see what the future holds for us."

Stay tuned for more of IDEAFIRST Company's artists in various shows, in different movies and channels.

Kenny Rogers Garlic Butter Roast

Suddenly you just see yourself drooling with this new item on the menu of Kenny Rogers Roasters. Their chicken is one of the healthiest among the fast food outlets in the Philippines because of the way they cook it, completely roasted.

They probably thought of upping the anté in the flavor department and this comes as a welcome addition to the throng of chicken dishes they have on the menu. Do you love butter? Do you love intense garlic flavor that's been browned a few seconds in a pan then mixed into the chicken? That's exactly what the new Garlic Butter Roast is and more. They do it slowly in the modern rotisserie, making the chicken meat soft and juicy in every bite. 

They also come with sides like your favorite mashed potatoes, carrot and corn, mac and cheese, plus veggies and gravy that's savory, you'll ask for more! 

Thank you Kenny Rogers! Gimme more of that chicken please! 

Converse Releases Chuck Taylor x Nike Flyknit Sneakers

I went here with GUM SOLE SHOES, also from CONVERSE Philippines.

I'm the fat guy who got to visit the new CONVERSE store in Eastwood City a couple of weeks ago. I also was one of the few who got to see one of the newest additions to the Chuck Taylor line which I have to explain to you how special it is. You probably know NIKE too right? Well they've partnered up with Converse on this new one and with great reason, NIKE has in the past released quite a number of FLYKNIT footwear. The fabric they use for the NIKE FLYKNIT line has been precision engineered for stitches that make your feet divided into sections where it needs stretch or support. Meet the new CONVERSE x NIKE FLYKNIT SNEAKERS.

The shoe uses special fibers that are incredibly strong than the usual panels they put in on regular ones. It's one of the things that provide the necessary support when you move fast, in performance tasks but remains surprisingly light. Part of the fabric is made of ultra light yarn made with the thought of reducing waste, so you get less of it in the trash later on if it gets worn out. This unbelievable fiber technology from NIKE is the same one that is being implemented in these Chuck Taylor x Nike Flyknit Sneakers that's breathable, making it stay light and comfortable the whole day. The sole is also using Nike Lunarlon technology, taking your that amount of comfort you already have even further.

Since we were there already, we also took a look at these Chuck Taylor All Star II Pastels that would be so perfect for the ladies. It'll be cute, sassy, trendy, but still lovely as your other Chucks in the racks. Aside from that, we took a history class about how THE FASTBREAK from Converse came about. Did you know a LOT of famous NBA stars started wearing these shoes for professional basketball? I certainly think so too in the local PBA back in the days, because who wouldn't love such a cool looking pair?

Now here's the new Chuck Taylor x Nike Flyknit Sneakers for your viewing pleasure!

These good looking shoes will be sold in all Converse stores and shops nationwide. Make sure you ask for stocks because special shoes like these could run out as there are existing collectors and shoeholics like me who would take it away from you. Don't make me do it and get one now!

I've been wearing this pair for about a week now to test if it's comfy. It's available in two variants, the charcoal black shade and the other is on the green side (which I got). I think it's passed flying colors despite torrential rains this week. It hugs me in two parts, like the part where it's right after the sole and the part after the middle part of the foot. That's where most of the tension lies when walking so it supports me in those areas. That's a cool pair right there. If you want to know more about it, follow their social media channels @ConversePH on IG and Converse.PH on Facebook. Follow where the one star goes!

Greenwich Hawaiian Overload Pizza Now In Crispy Thins

I don't know how to thank people especially when it's like fate. I was a bit hungry a few hours after lunch and it was probably merienda time already but Mom was busy so we didn't have anything to eat. I don't skip meals because I am on a weird diet and starving is a big nono especially for big guys like me. Good think Greenwich was like that barkada who knows how to spoil you when you need em the most. They got me two boxes of pizza, the lovely Greenwich Overload Hawaiian Pizza and the other was the Crispy Thins version of it. 

It was a totally different experience because you get that very filling feeling with the original one while the other gives you that feeling of CRUNCH all over it from end to end. It's also my Mom's favorite so she felt like it was her birthday when it arrived. I was also touched that it came with a Karaoke microphone so in a few minutes we were already singing to our best Karaoke tunes, like the party that it should right in our own home!

Call #55555 now to get that pizza today!
