Tony Labrusca for Deja Blend

When you hear Tony Labrusca now, what do you usually think about? Watched him during the BoybandPH stint, albeit not winning the competition, he was destined for stardome. An illustrious career in showbusiness, several projects and shows under his belt, a few movies here and there, and now not just an endorsement, but a part of this business called DEJA BLEND. 

Deja Blend means already blended, which is something they've been working on in the past few years. They are so confident that they have perfected the flavors they have come out with and pretty much they are putting their names and this personality on the line. This person may have come from a reality show, impressed people and has a career in the making. He is officially investing in this beverage brand under WBC Food Kiosk they call DEJA BLEND The Perfect Blend. He has chosen to get involved in this as he sees showbusiness might turn out not to be forever. He's preparing for his own future.

Tony says "I am in showbiz but I want to secure my future, the next option for me was putting up a business. I'm happy to be part of the Deja Blend Family. I met him years ago (the owner and CEO) and when I asked to venture with him, they got me to do this. I feel like everything happens for a reason, I don't compare myself and I try to stay grateful, with Gods grace. I want to secure the life of my family and this was a no brainer. I am doing three movies this year, hopefully finish them all including indie movies. The third one is a secret. This is a huge opporunity and I just came at the right time. As for the Darna movie I am not sure yet, if I am to be chosen it would really be an honor. For Cinemalaya I am doing ML, it stands for Martial Law and it will be an interesting movie. It is timely, a thriller, I don't want to spoil things but it will be with me and Tito Eddie Garcia. He's the man, a new actor working with him, I learned a lot to bring out emotion because I was really afraid of him even though he's a very nice guy. The Cinema One film is a thriller too, in sports, I play a gymnast with Joem Bascon. This is a sports erotic thriller, something that would be crazy and will shock you guys, it's an amazing project because it's a messed up movie - I'll just sag there is a nymphomaniac. You'll see. We'll have a trailer too, one's a safe one and one that's red. Everything that is going to be shown has a reason for it, be shot artistically. My image is wholesome but I take movies seriously, I want to show people that I want to earn my spot seriously. When I was in highschool I had to take entrepreneurial class, I feel when it's my time it's my time. I'm not the most business savvy person so I need all the help I can get managing my finances." 

Deja Blend is concentrating on 4 drink categories right now, the pearl teas, the Frapuccino, the milk teas and the Lemonoids. They want to work with entrepreneurs, Filipinos outside the country too and help you put up your own franchise. You may talk to their franchise team if you are eager to get your business started. 

Their tea is not that sweet, they want it that way and you could customize sugar levels in every store. Branches are in Taytay, one in front of UE Dentistry building in Recto- soon in 999 Divisoria Mall, and others to follow soon. "For 550 K (their franchise fee) you can enter and manage it, we are lower than usual businesses because we have suppliers. Sell it for 60-70-80, people can earn a lot. This includes training, manpower management, but accounting will be yours. After your ROI, we will plan many things for you. We will also have activations, it will have Tony involved in it so you will see him more. You may search for us in Facebook just put in Deja Blend and I'll personally answer your queries." says JR Cruz, the Operator and Owner of WBC Food Kiosk.

For what it's worth, Tony knows how to market himself, trying different things, shooting while the iron is hot. He's one of the most good looking actors this country has seen, he can also sing, and now even manage an up and coming brand that he surely believes in. 

I tried it myself and those Lemonoids and best selling teas really hit the spot, I envy him for doing these things even if he's so busy with his current commitments. You'll love him even more now that he's starting to grow his business. He's very down to earth too, I am glad to have been able to talk to him even for a few minutes. 

Contact them through Facebook at Deja Blends and get your own business running! It's darn good!

Make Sure You Watch The Write Moment

I missed to watch this during the premier night and managed to only see it yesterday. I had high hopes because talking to them a few days ago already got me hooked, as this movie is based on real life experiences of writer and director Dominic Lim.

For starters, it’s not a rom com (some parts perhaps), if I had one word to describe it, it’s a huge FRUSTRATION. I’ve never been affected by a film about relationships, a shady one, which tells me my personal story would have been a good one because other people didn’t have closure, nor the ability and capability to move on. It’s IN YOUR FACE reality budding on how they tell no person should leave a person hanging. Doing that would only lead to pain, suffering, for one or more party. Ahh I don’t want to spoil things for you, I’ll let Jerald Napoles and Valeen Montenegro do the talking.

Now showing on these theaters

Provincial cinemas

I need not convince you to actually watch this because just like me, you'll be recommending this to your friends once you come out of theaters. This surprised me in so many ways, you will be too if you watch this in these selected theaters. It's good to finally watch something worthwhile in Philippine cinema. You can't argue with that.

You'll relate to him in so many circumstances, no matter how crazy you think he may be. This is brought to you by IdeaFirst Company.

Josiah’s Starts SARTIN at Summit Ridge Tagaytay

Cuba in Pasig, a posh night

Attended the Cuban themed event a couple of weeks ago. I felt Havana was a stones throw away from Pasig City as Josiah's Hospitality Management celebrates the forthcoming F&B operations management in Summit Ridge Tagaytay City. They call the place SARTIN of which is prolly a connotation from period english "certain", to minic in agreement or more. We got to try different drinks, authentic Filipino street favorites which they also put in their Josiah's twist.

Josiah's Catering has established themselves as one of the industry's best and has been the go to food service company in the Philippines for several years now. Not surprised as they've gotten the nods of food critics, celebrities, ordinary people because of their exceptional dedication to prepare food that's good, presentable, even world class. It's prolly the reason why they've taken strides to up the anté with Josiah's Hospitality Management, a subsidiary that is concentrated on hotel management and f&b operations, because they can.

With fellow bloggers at the Josiah’s catering event

As their CEO Fresh Versoza puts it, “Tagaytay has and always been a good location - it's certainly a great way for us to initiate our first F & B operations. With its picturesque views and cool climate, it's the perfect backdrop for what we see as a significant culinary destination. We want people to experience an exciting and delicious haven." the Josiah’s Catering, Inc. Executive said.

Everyday should feel like a holiday, these drinks got us in the mood

Shrimp for the lovers, breaded and fried for antipasti

Burned my tongue with these dynamites, just the way I like it

Chicken Skin, Chicharon Bulaklak and everything that’s good on the street

Boneless Roast Pig, unbelievably good!

Food and beverage wise, they deliver. The service that evening was equally good. Now if you’re expecting for anything less, that would mar what Josiah’s have been working for all these years. They are one of the industry leaders because they’ve done the legwork. If you are a property owner and want to be a part of their success, you may contact them through their website contact channels, they’ll be doing a good job for you too.

Host Jun Dumlao, Ms. Jill Miranda-Tan (Brand Director-Josiah’s Hospitality Management), Drixel Ortega (Operations Manager-Summit Ridge), Fresh Versoza (COO-Josiah’s), Monica de Ocampo-Casperino (Director for Sales - Summit Ridge) and Lisette Arena (Senior Marketing Manager-Summit Ridge).

We said they’re good with good reason, it’s what the Josiah’s brand is all about.

Feel It, See It in ADRIFT

A five month journey from the shores Tahiti in 1983, swept away by the winds of the world trying to find a final destination she too doesn't know about. She's Tami, a wanderer, who picked up odd jobs that would take her to the next place she wanted to go to, played by the divergent girl Shailene Woodley, she shared the dream and made that love story she with a brit guy named Richard (played by Sam Claflin) who also made the boat and obviously addicted to sailing - specifically through the horizons, so you can just imagine where that would be. Of course, there would be disaster, otherwise this wouldn't be a movie. 

Of course for non swimmers like me, this might look and feel like a horror flick (totally acheived that), made me feel awful in each scene while in the ocean, especially when she had to go and dive for dear life. This movie though by all means would be good for those who want to see and feel hope, love, being ADRIFT in the middle of nowhere, feeling you would die, no shipping lights, no one knows if you're there and you still want to hope that you'll be fine.

Again it's nauseating, with waves as big as mountains in a category 4 storm, would they be still alive? 

Go watch ADRIFT on theaters, this is distributed locally by Viva Films. You'll never look at peanut butter the same way again.

Set sail! See if you survive. 3/5 Cows 🐮🐮🐮.
