Amaia Scapes North Luzon Opens New Communities

Looks like Amaia Scapes Bulacan is going to have their blessing rites for their basketball and village pavilion on August 25

Having a house of your own these days is acheivable because you’ve got better real estate properties that more affordable, better spaces and really good communities. In northern Luzon alone investments have gone up as they slowly decongest Metro Manila and finding a good home is easy, but what do you really need to make it liveable?

Easy, as Amaia Land Corporation puts it, you have to offer both functional and leisure amenities. This is what is happening in their communities nationwide. They just had the village pavilion at Amaia Scapes San Fernando and village pavilion and basketball court Amaia Scapes Capas  blessed last August 18. Meanwhile, they will have the village pavilion and basketball court of Amaia Scapes Bulacan blessed this coming August 25.

Now the homeowners have new venues for celebrating family parties, milestones so they can celebrate life with friends and neighbors. This is their goal of having holistic living experience for their residents. At Amaia Scapes San Fernando in Pampanga, they have history surrounding the city but also have modern lifestyle convenience mixed with it. Just imagine how much fun they’ll have in family picnics and fun watching basketball games in their amenities.  

At Amaia Scapes Capas in Tarlac, they have their own village pavilion, swimming pool, basketball court and kiddie playground. For sure, residents will thrive in this wholesome community, plus have the choice of being in one of six modern house designs so they meet their family’s growing needs.

At Amaia Scapes Bulacan in Sta Maria, people can have refreshing dips in the pool, tumble in the patio green and run amuck at the tree-lined spine road, so you never run out of activities. 

For those who would like to live in Amaia Scapes communities, just visit amaialand.com or follow their page via facebook.com/AmaiaLand because it’s all there!

Julia Baretto and Joshua Garcia for Ngayon at Kailanman

This evening was nice, more so to see the ensemble cast of Ngayon at Kailanman the new soap starring Joshua Garcia and Julia Baretto. The two have been making waves in recent blockbuster movies, more so with their previous shows and this exciting drama - and love story.

Today was the first day to forever, they had us enjoy the pilot episode this evening with the cast and their fans, plus a glimpse of who their characters were. They set the mood straight and told us the reason why they ended up fatherless, and how their lives got in great danger.

Now more characters start to unfold, but the thing we noticed earlier is how intense each one of them presented themselves especially Iza Calzado, the kids and Mercedes Cabral in the first few gaps. This involved murder, death and lies told for years just to save the young Julia Baretto in the series.

I asked them earlier about having this ended early so they can market this in other countries but they would rather do it for years just like the successful shows Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa starrer years back that got the nod and dubbed in other countries, the same fate definitely wouldn't be bad.

Make sure you watch this show on ABSCBN's primetime slot. It's got more up it's sleeve and we couldn't wait to see more of Julia Baretto and Joshua Garcia on screen. This chemistry must be tested on daily TV.

Natural Bodybuilding Competition Slated October

Had lunch with the people who organised the World Natural Bodybuilding Federation of the Philippines. They did this small luncheon to promote bodybuilding as a sport in the country. I have attended about two of these recently (other competitions) and have seen how remarkably improved our athletes have become. It is true that they spent blood sweat and tears in order to be in their best shape but I guess WNBF Philippines will be making this a whole lot different, a whole lot stricter.

The organization is affiliated with the WNBF which has been around for 30 years and now has about 24 countries competing. They are still growing and to get in alone is a task - because they do polygraph and urine tests as a form of seeing who’s getting illegal substances in their system. The federation also bans athletes who fail these tests for 7 years, so don’t even think about it!

Chris Byrne VP of WNBF Philippines says “People can go to our website and register at wnbfph.com , requirements only include membership in the federation and be an adult (18 and above) and we are expecting around 50 competitors and it depends on how this would run. We would have stricter regulations than the olympics and it levels the playing ground. A lot of people are using illegal substances, this won’t shun them but we really want a platform for those who does it naturally. We will have judges from INB Canada coming in to do this in October. Last June was a test and we plan to do 5-6 competitions a year. It doesn’t much have cash prizes but we have a collectors item medal to give out. We will also be accepting sponsors as long as it’s natural, organic, as we plan to do this in other parts of the country. This is more of a sports competition, after they get the medals the athletes stayed anyway. We’re confident that it will be in Johnny B. Good formerly Hard Rock Cafe Makati, this will be called WNBFPH3 which will be done on the date we mentioned. You can also go to our social media channels and we can get them aboard.”

Last June they held one of these competitions in Johnny B. Good (a local restaurant in Glorietta 3, Makati City) and some athletes from Taiwan, China, Korea, Mongolia and our very own country joined in. They will be doing the same this coming October 27, 2018 so if you’re ready to show your sculptured physique, sign up for it now. There will be international competitors, judges and organisations again in this leg so make sure you represent Philippines well if you plan to join.

THE CLASH Finalists Backstage Interview

Took some time out to talk to the finalists of THE CLASH a few days ago, some really good singers I must say. I mean they wouldn’t be in the finals if that wasn’t the case right? I was a little nervous doing this interview because apart from just watching the show, I don’t know much of them on a personal level. In a way it was hard for me to ask them because I didn’t know more about them, so I did the best thing of doing this from a fans point of view. I asked them about their beginnings, things they were doing before they auditioned for the show... and some about their personal life so I’d get to know them even for the few minutes we had the chance to interview these guys and gals. It went without to say, a very happy chat with them instead of a nervous wreck I anticipated. I felt that they were just ordinary people like you and me, just a little more special because of the biological setup of their pipes, which has taken them places literally.

Most of these guys hailed from small towns in Visayas and Mindanao, of which only a handful of them coming from Valenzuela and nearby cities. Most of them are amateur singers who frequent Barangay Fiestas and join shows to win things to put food on the table, while others are first timers who just one day said “I’m going to try this out!” to see where this takes them. I remember one of them also saying he didn’t even join contests outside school, which I felt humanized this competition to ultimately get their stars to shine, on a national stage. Some are OFW’s finding a silver lining, earning for their family and thinking about their survival.

Clad in their gowns, suits, hair rollers, little to no makeup before the show, these men and women of The Clash taught me something, that it doesn’t have to be all complicated. There are hindrances that life may present to you, but a dream is a dream. Let no one tell you that you don’t deserve this shot -and GMA has given them the platform to make their dreams into reality. With the show almost ending, I’ve seen standouts and worthy adversaries for the last showdown, but I’m keeping my cards private. They all deserve to win but only one will be chosen, this will be a hard predicament, a hard choice, but the judges have to do ther jobs. Do not hate them if your bets don’t win, it’s a vicious cycle, but they have to do it.

We had the courage to ask them about their crushes on the show, this is fun!

Congratulations to whoever is going to win! Thank you for being so nice and candid during our short interview.
