6 Reasons Why You Should Watch The Hopeful Romantic

Had fun watching the movie The Hopeful Romantic by Regal Entertainment. It stars Ritz Azul and Pepe Herrera who did a really good job playing Jess and Veronica, it felt genuine, endearing. Love has definitely a lot to do with this story, when you give your all, when is it okay? When is it called love? 

Here’s some reasons why you should watch the movie:

1. It’s time to prove or unprove if the only virgins left in the world are the UGLY ones.

2. Pepe Herrera is such a great crooner. You’ll melt your knees listening to him sing.

3. The two leads have comedic timing. You’ll never see a use for whitening lotion the same way again.

4. See opulence, lifestyle of the rich and famous. Big things by Hashtag Niko.

5. Lies, deception, you’ll learn where it takes you. You’ll see why you should always be yourself and see why it shouldn’t be something to start a relationship:

6. The movie is fun, there are a ton of funny scenes which are not shown in the trailers.

7. As a bonus, you will learn a lot about how to love, how to face your fears and pray for the film. Hahaha. You’ll see why I said that when you watch this on theaters starting September 12 on theaters nationwide!

Good job on the film Topel Lee! 

Congratulations Pepe Herrera and Ritz Azul, you’ve done a good job on this one. It’s well made for a Filipino comedy film, I hope people get to see this because it’s really nice. Kudos also on Beverly Salviejo, get her a bonus!

Now go to theaters nationwide on the 12th and find your one and only true love!

Pepe Herrera and Ritz Azul for Regal’s The Hopeful Romantic

Topel Lee has done several of Regal Films movies and among them are the iconic Shake Rattle and Roll series which has been a regular in Metro Manila Film Festival, but this time he’s doing a light romcom, which is pretty far from what they do. Though it looks and feels weird, the trailer for this new movie just looks so promising. First off, you cast a young man, a veteran theater and character actor Pepe Herrera, then form a connection with vixen and drama actress Ritz Azul, wouldn’t that be interesting?

During the press conference held last week, a couple of questions were asked that delved around him being not much good looking and her being the gorgeous gal. Though I couldn’t really point out who asked that question, it’s a formula that have been successful in Hollywood movies - and Disney toons too. Like Beauty and the Beast, things around that genre kind of reminds me of this flick. Pepe plays an innocent man named Jess, who you could gladly level with a regular joe, or a wallflower. Ritz on the other hand plays Veronica, a prized catch, a trophy wife material, would they be a likely couple? I feel that’s not even a question of a possibility, because in this day and age... anyone can love somebody, I picked that up in their conversation a few days ago. 

Pepe even shared that if there’s something nice he finds in Ritz, it’s her ability to be like a man, like a cowboy, because he was raised by his Mom who he says is a legitimate Alpha Female. Ritz on the other hand says if she would need to identify something lovely with Pepe, it’s his ability to care, and his eyes. She says it tells a lot and I don’t blame her. He really looks like he’s got a lot of stories in between those ears. I wouldn’t be surprised if they would like each other in real life.

Anyway, I’m going to watch the movie in a few minutes, I’ll tell you if it’s good or not. But so far, with the way they are telling things, this is a good story of love. 

You should probably watch it too! It comes out on theaters this September 12. This is under Regal Films.

Zandra Lim Bridal Marks 15th Year

Nothing beats a woman adorned in their favorite sequined dress, with lace details, all white or not. Each wedding is special, a sacrament, a dream for every bride and we all know how it is important to not only be happy, but look the part which designers have painstakingly tried to perfect for years - like they always do.

A byline in every wedding/bridal fair is Ms. Zandra Lim. She’s dressed celebrities, politicians, famous people, and just about every Jane you could ever imagine. I always pass by her atelier whenever I go to Manila as it sits in E. Rodriguez in Quezon City. This year, she marks her 15th Anniversary in the industry and what better way to celebrate that but through a charity event. This is why Crystal Bridal Fair was put up, happening on September 15-16, 2018 at the posh Discovery Primea in Ayala Avenue, Makati City.

All the proceeds will go to fund the social service and cancer patients of St. Lukes Medical Center in Quezon City, a really worthy cause. Ms. Lim is married to Oncologist Dr. Mars Imasa and she has learned of the plight of patients who wasn’t able to get medical attention and chemotherapy due to financial constraints and in time had worsen their conditions. This shouldn’t happen in this day and age and hopefully, this will help a lot of people.

For those who don't know, Lim was educated at the Istituto di Moda Burgo in Milan, Italy, where she took Istilista di Abiti di Sposa (Fashion Design, specializing in Wedding Dress) and also took Textile Effects at the University of the Arts, London-Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design, which tells you the quality of work won't be just simple, it's well thought of, with expertise everytime.

Getting in to the Crystal Bridal Fair is FREE so for those looking for the perfct gown, suppliers, make sure you drop by. This event is also staged by her partner brands Niceprint Photo, Amantefleurs, Rhed Sarmiento Events and Discovery Primea (of the Discovery Group). They are also helped by Metrotech Projectors, LST Lights & Sounds, and Pikulyar Photo.

For those who wish to be there and take part in the fashion show (tickets sold on this one) you may go to the Crystal Charity Event Facebook page or ZandraLimDesigns.com for more information.

This is such a noble cause, combining industry leaders in the Wedding industry, fashion all for a lovely cause. I fervently hope they get to help more people because cancer isn’t a joke.

Praying for you all!

Home Loans In One Day: It’s Possible!

Everybody dreams of their own home, I know I do. In the eve of high inflation rates, unavailability of cash, we all wonder how other people do it. Why is it easy for them to have loans from banks and why is it faster for them to actually get one while your bank is still taking months, maybe years to even approve papers. Are you already getting confused? Are you at your wits end? Maybe it’s not you, maybe it’s your bank.

Banks these days are so strict, when you’ve got all the requirements and funding to back it up, why all the fuss? why all the delay right? Imagine all the wasted time involved when you only wanted to have your own home. Now don’t you worry, because I heard it’s possible now with one of the country’s best Philippine Savings Bank (PSBank).

You see, PSBank has been in the industry for years and they are the consumer banking arm of the Metrobank Group so that at least assures you of good consumer practices and proper funding. They now have a policy of a 1 day credit decision on home loans if you are purchasing new condominium units or properties from their accredited developers. Now that is just unprecedented in the Philippine banking industry so just imagine how much help that would make for prospective home buyers across the country. PSBank’s SVP for their Marketing Group says “We have streamlined our own internal evaluation processes so our banks could decide on home loans as fast as possible. We want to make it quick and simple for all our customers so if you are planning to get condo units or properties from our accredited developers which includes Federal Land, SM Development, DMCI, Megaworld, Rockwell, Ayala Land Premier, Avida Land, Alveo, Amaia and a lot more (others listed on their website). This is our promise.”

Aside from that, they have perks for those who would want to pay in advanced as they have equivalent rebates for it. They also have very flexible terms so for those who want something easy on the pocket, all you gotta do is ask. You can even do payments online or on mobile, you can also pay through post dated checks, over the counter method or Bancnet capable machines nationwide.

Now don’t fret if the condominium or house unit isn’t on the list because if that’s your case, you’ll be still viable for their standard 5 day process. Approval will be sent via sms and this also applies to new home loans, house and lot, duplex, townhouse, vacant lots or small to medium construction. They have been doing this kind of approval for Auto Loans too and if there’s one thing you should try, give your neighborhood PSBank branch a visit and make your dreams come true!

Give it a try!
