We had so much fun during the advanced screening of Camp Livebetter, the reality web series of Philam Vitality over at their Youtube channel. You might have seen one or all of these episodes while watching Youtube and they are showing the final episode tomorrow at 2PM.

Before the activities, we were treated to good organic food at Green Pastures. It was ultra healthy but filling, I didn’t get to eat much because they had seafood but twas okay! Anyway it’s part of the journey of these guys and gals were taking because in order to have a good life, we all need to have better lifestyle choices and invest in ourselves. Health, activities, even financial and life planning is essential nowadays and should be part of adulting. Here’s how our plates look like! :)

I hope you were able to enjoy the first two episodes. This time you are going to see the advanced screening of Camp Livebetter”

Josh, Arman and Arnold (all financial advisors of Philam Life says “This camp will make me understand my health and fitness goals, I lost weight already but with the help of my friends, I am checking my progress so they can support me, gain new friends in the process and that’s what I got from Camp Livebetter.”

“It’s not just health and fitness, but also managing our finances. Knowing the steps to get there while improving our health, those are our goals in life.”

“Raymond gave us his secrets, that it’s not a secret at all. We just have to be conscious about what we eat, read labels and see the ingredients as is. Put in excercise everyday to maintain it and be consistent. He told us his old photos, that’s what keeps him motivated. I’m happy about what I saw he can do, thanks to Mond we’re going to Bali!”

Judy Ann Shines, Angelica Sparks in Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes

I've seen the film industry improve over the years and one glorious evidence of that is the film Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes (The Two Mrs. Reyes) which is produced by Star Cinema, Quantum Films and made by the Idea First Company under Perci Intalan and Directed by Jun Lana. I've honestly been bored of Filipino films lately that I haven't seen some of them in the recent MMFF, but this piece wasn't going to pass me since Judy Ann is doing it. Yes she's got hits and misses but I guess this material was just promising. It's got all the angles in it, romance, love, infidelity, s3x, foreplay, even food and the whole enchilada of LGBTQWTFOMGBBQ causes you can think of.

Judy Ann being the Queen has never lost her touch. She cries like a river, and can definitely touch you in so many ways that you'll find yourself crying in the dark corners of the cinema. Yes I admit that might have been me, not once, but twice because her monologues was just the highlight of the film, one that you should pay attention to when her character starts posting a Facebook status towards the end of the film. You would fall for her, feel her pain, her agony, her angst and you would feel good while she's letting it all out on social media, just like what your friends do on their timeline too.

Angelica Panganiban on the other hand had her own battles. Like a woman scorned, she wanted revenge, but later finds herself learning, enjoying, moving on from the whole ordeal. She also presents the punchlines so well you'll hear the gallery laugh quite hard during the whole movie. She's going to get mad and bonded with cats, travel the world to seek revenge, then perhaps fall in love with a stranger found in the most unconventional places. She's also going to cancel all holidays for you, that particular line will stick to you like glue so pay attention when she does her outbursts... oh she's got a ton of that. 

I haven't had so much fun in movies lately, this particular one made me cry twice, had me laugh and made me feel good about Filipino movies again. This film also stars JC De Vera and Joross Gamboa, you'll love how their pair would intertwine their story in different situations. As Direk Perci said "This is our opening day and I hope you see this film, if you like it please spread the word. I really hope you like the movie because as of now we are hearing it’s doing good in the box office. If you are posting anything on social media please use #AngDalawangMrsReyes so we can see it!”

Screenings started yesterday and if you haven't watched this movie yet, you better spend for it today because it's really good.

The Greatest Showman

Our friends from BLUE ANT formerly known as RTL CBS Network hosted a screening of The Greatest Showman last night and boy it was good. It's the story of PT Barnum and how he put up his CIRCUS. Well yes, it's a tale on how the Barnum and Bailey Circus roadshow started but there were so many things that were in this movie that made me want to suddenly burst into a song and perform with them. 

The music alone would make this all worthwhile, but let me tell you, this isn't just a Hugh Jackman piece because you'll get a touch of Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Kealla Settle (The Bearded Lady), Zendaya Coleman as they all take their pipes into another level just so you could hear something so good, you would want to see it again. Nevermind the critics, or the earlier naysayers because this movie is worth every cent. I've read the man's bio and it looked very close to his real lifestory but won't delve too much on the political side, but mostly love, relationships, work and family.  

If you want to see similar shows that astound and entertain, you may opt to watch the Blue Ant channel on cable like what I do with Skycable. They've got America's Got Talent, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and just about every nice hit show in the US on that channel. 

Thank you Blue Ant for having us that evening!

The One That Got Away on GMA

Had the chance to watch THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY this afternoon through an exclusive screening. The series is starred by Dennis Trillo (Liam) and his exes Rhian Ramos (Zoe), Lovi Poe (Alex), Max Collins (Darcy). What would be fun to see is how they (the ladies) were able to keep friendship in tact despite being a common denominator for one guy, the one that got away. This is an original concept by the GMA Entertainment Content Group.

William Dominic “LIAM” Illustre is a businessman, the most prized batchelor in town. When Liam got into an accident, the three ladies found themselves inside the hospital, bedside their exe’s. This looks like a riot, the most awkward scene, but Mark Sikat Dela Cruz (the director) made sure you can differentiate one from the other. They’ve got their families, their friends that would act as their conscience.

Nar Cabico entertained us during the screening. He sang the theme song GAGA which you can find in iTunes and other digital stores, just search for it!

Nar says “I was inspired by people who ask opinions about love, so this song is for them. They learn a thing or two in the song. I’m the best friend of Darcy here, I tell a spade as a spade out of love for a friend, a sister so you will relate to him a little.”

Max says “I am so excited to see the fight scenes, it’s super funny!”

Lovi adds “You’ll see our group’s chemistry, it will show on screen because we blend in even if we are fighting over a guy.”

Rhian says “This comedy is outlandish, I am excited for you to see how the heart is involved with real people.”

Dennis proudly adds “This show is a different mix of people, different personalities so I am do excited for you to see how it will show on the series. It will be shown tomorrow right after Kambal Karibal.”

Saw the first episode, and on thing I can say is... it looks so fun. Their introduction alone had people jeering in the audience. Nar Cabico was hilarious, saying it straightforward means he’s going to be exploding expletives every now and then. When they met, it was awkward, but meant that there are still unfinished business between them and the other ladies which Liam should finish. Their past is colorful, don’t get me wrong, but Liam made sure they are not in a relationship at the same time, he’s doing it fair.

Don’t also discount the fact that their respective families and friends are quite colorful, each having their own characteristics which still end up going for Liam as well. Destiny? Karma? Comedy rolled into one, that I think is TOTGA.

The show also includes Migo Adecer, Jason Abalos, Sophie Albert, Ivan Dorschner, Jason Francisco, Luz Valdez, Ayra Mariano and a lot more!

This is just the start, so if I were you don’t miss the first episode right after Kambal Karibal on GMA Telebabad.
