Anne Curtis and Dingdong Dantes for Sid & Aya

Haven't really watched this film yet but it looks so promising. You can say this is an acting piece and with Anne Curtis and Dingdong Dantes donning the role of Sid & Aya, this would be an interesting story. Dingdong plays Sid, an man suffering from insomnia. In one of his sleepless nights, he met Aya - a woman who made his empty nights bearable, but who is she exactly? That remains to he a mystery.

This isn't the first time that Dingdong and Anne is working together, they reprised the role of Iñaki Torres and Emily, not as sweethearts as they were paired with different actors. This time, Anne and Dingdong went all the way to Japan just so they could film their first on screen pairing. Though as they put it, this isn't a love story. The trailers only depict a few parts of an odd relationship, with chemistry, probably romantic. What would happen if their lives intertwined? What would happen if they meet? 

When I met Dingdong before, I was always playing support, it wasn't in the slightest idea for us to be paired. Since we have worked together, it wasn't hard because I already knew Dingdong. All we did in Japan, it wasn't typical. It's visually appealing to the eye, the teams went smooth sailing and one of the most exciting parts is going to be seen in the movie. Aya is a crazy girl, much like me."

Dingdong added "If I remember correctly, Anne was in Magic Kingdom when we worked together. I think I'm stuck in the 90's and the film is somehow connected to that. I think it's a good idea for us to be in a project now, we spent almost a year making this and it was hard on schedules, where dedicated teams spent time, blood and money to make this what it is now. We shot with a skeleton team in Japan, it's one of my favorite destinations and it was so nice to go there and work. Sid is a flawed person, he will get away with most trouble he's going to make."

Direk Irene says "The two characters are strong willed, so the name came from Sidaya which means cheating, but again this isn't a love story, as Sid mentions in the story not all I love yous means it is. The concept was made 4 years ago and I knew we had to make it, so I pitched it and the story needs to be in Japan as it is relevant to the life of Aya."

If you would like to know more about Sid and Aya, make sure you get tickets when it shows nationwide May 30 under Viva Films. Mind you, they will have different screenings here,the Middle East, Italy and Hong Kong. This is under the direction of Irene Villamor who did Camp Sawi and Meet Me in St Gallen.

Sexy Fun: OH BOY! & OH LOL! at the Music Museum

It's already the 16th and that means you only have about two days to go to purchase tickets to one of the sexiest and funniest shows this month called OH BOY! & OH LOL! which headlines 4 hunky men of GMA Rocco Nacino, Derrick Monasterio, Jak Roberto, Dave Bornea and the lovely comedians Donita Nose and Super Tekla. 

The previous show held at the same venue got a pretty good audience and they're raring to do even MORE this time with the new guys they are with, now that Jak Roberto and Dave Bornea will be joining them. Rocco in fact says he's going to do more prep work with the production numbers they'll be doing this Friday because they have a grasp pf what to actually do after staging the first successful one. He's also teaching the new guys what to expect in this new show, but always let them remember they can add their own style and flavor to their individual production numbers, abd those that they'll be doing in a group.

Donita Nose on the other hand says "Our kind of comedy is situational, live, and happens when it happens. So if you are expecting a LOT OF FUN that evening, that's what you'll get and more. People have always seen our antics on Youtube and our previous pairing on Will's show, but now we have 4 boys to play with and that only would mean we'll have a little more naughty fun. We will be interacting more with the audience and Tekla and I will be doing production numbers with them, this will be a riot for sure!"

The show OH BOY! & OH LOL! will happen on May 18th, this Friday at the Music Museum. If you haven't bought your tickets yet, you may purchase them at Ticketworld.com.ph and at the venue (while tickets last). They promise you'll get to see more sexy stuff and have fun while you are there. Hopefully they can take the show around the world because this seems all so much fun!

Can't wait to see you on this date!

Jameson Blake Pairs Up with Janella on So Connected

The first time I saw Jameson Blake was in a press conference in ABSCBN. Back then, he was already with the Hashtags and hit noontime show It's Showtime. It wasn't just me, but a multitude of people who saw how nice his skin was, that I though he was poreless, and he was so humble and said thanks to everyone who noticed. Even then, I felt that from the looks department alone, he was very promising, something bound for stardom and I hope he does hit gold in this upcoming movie where he's paired with Janella Salvador. It's called SO CONNECTED, and it couldn't have come at an opportune time.

You see, he's always said in interviews that if one day he'd be ask to be paired with someone on screen, he'd always say Janella Salvador. So this movie for him always felt like... a dream come true. I couldn't blame him, because as you may have seen in stars these days, Janella is one of the most accomplished teens in her generation. He says "I always wanted to actually work with her, and this is the first time we've worked together. My character isn't complicated, he's just someone who falls in love with a person on screen, and took action on his dream. I sees Janella's character as a matured, happy go lucky person, and welcomes and off beat non teeny bopper persona she portrays on online videos she appears in."

This movie will be shown on May 23, 2018 on theaters nationwide. This is also directed by Jason Paul Laxaman under Regal Films. 

I'm sure Janella's and Jameson's fans would like this film. It's light, easy and very heartwarming. They'll be having a premier night before the actual date and I hope I get to see it there too on the red carpet. Hopefully a blogcon this week, so we could ask questions. Hello Regal Films! *waves*

Volvo Unleashes The All New EC200D

If you hear the word VOLVO, what comes into mind? Of course there's the world class cars, but don't forget they also do heavy equipment, and they're very good at it.

Just recently, they launched the new VOLVO EC200D. It's an excavator, designed to speed up productivity, have fuel efficiency and safety in mind. It's around 20 tons, but what makes it different is the high swing torque and lifting capabilities. Now it would be easier for any construction professional to get the job done at a faster rate, safely. It can dig, lift, rotate and unload when needed. They also designed the Volvo D5E Tier 3 to have an output of 123 KW at 2000 rpm's and harness really strong hydraulics, in shorter cycles too.

It's so nice to see the new EC200 is also capable of lifting heavier weight, swing faster and still be stable when operating it. It only means this can translate into higher productivity, which could save corporations more money, faster and more efficient in any building projects. 

The EC200 is now available in Southeast Asia, India and the Philippines through Civic Merchandising Inc. - Topspot Heavy Equipment Incorporated. They will also provide on site support nationwide as they have 30 services points across the country. 

Congratulations Volvo! This is so good!
