Last Chance for Promo Seats with AirAsia

If you haven’t gotten one yet, there are just a few days left before they wrap up their biggest sale to open up 2019. If you haven’t gotten your family and friends local or out of the country trips yet, then this is the opportune time to do it. Be a BIG member and catch these awesome deals from AIR ASIA Philippines.

For BIG members, there are still flights to Manila, Clark, Cebu and Cagayan De Oro for only 519 pesos. If you plan to Tacloban or Bangkok (which I’ll be doing soon), or Shenzen you’ll save a lot on flight fees if you get it from them. I have compared it myself on Skyscanner and Air Asia always leads the pack.

Think about it, this is the best time to fly!

BORN BEAUTIFUL: Martin Del Rosario on His Kissing Scenes

Good looks and puppy dog eyes won’t get you roles if you don’t really have the talent. This has been proven by Kapuso star Martin Del Rosario as he reprises the role of Barbs in the sequel Born Beautiful. 

Martin says “I really felt pressured but very honored to have been chosen by Direk Perci Intalan and Direk Jun Lana. Of course people are expecting a lot with the success of Die Beautiful, add to that I had to become the new Barbs in the film. I believe we have done our best to make this as good as the previous one. I had to trim down a lot and diet because I had to fit in female clothes. I also avoided working so I would look more feminine without the muscles. I also had to groom myself and undergo waxing, to get into character because Barbs is complicated so I had to study how she moves.”

He adds “I watched the first Die Beautiful movie and I was glad to accept the sequel, it is a challenge but I have worked with them in other projects before so I knew this was going to be good. Die Beautiful was simple, but this one is more matured in understanding Trans people, finding happiness, having an identity crisis after Trishia died. I will met Trishia’s ex, my ex and go on a journey finding that happiness I am looking for. It was offered to me after they had complexities with Barbs, but definitely I will have a different take on her. I don’t really get affected about what they say online, I read it but I don’t reply. Paulo gave me beauty tips, fixing nails, stuff, he was there in the first day and he made me comfortable. It won’t be so far if you compare the cut and uncut versions, just a few bleeps and scenes shortened but you will still understand the story. The uncut scenes will be on the Friday when you come and watch it on our premiere. My discoveries? It’s difficult to be trans, the physical and mental changes, the acceptance, the love, it’s different but at the end of the day we all have the capacity to love and be loved. Aki was more nervous than me, I already had a scene with Kiko before hand but Aki had to be the one to approach me since I have to be more feminine, Kiko was wild and had s3xual tension. For me, kissing guys and girls are the same. Maybe it just depends on how the kiss is executed.”

“I only had problems on the first day, I was perspiring, on the chair for two hours and was clean shaven everywhere. It did also hurt, I only got used to it on the few days after. When I got to be trans, I was surprised because I looked beautiful. I felt in character and do female things, but the reality of being taped and wax was a sacrifice. This has more drama elements I think, it’s a more matured way of telling a trans story. Christian and I haven’t met each other but we did talk on Twitter about it. More than the ones you see on trailer, you’ll see even more on Cignal.”

Born Beautiful will be premiering on January 23 in Cinemas nationwide!

Music, Food, Fun at Hard Rock Cafe Manila

Yes they’re back! With good reason because Manila can’t get enough of their very own Hard Rock Cafe. We’ve been in their Glorietta branch ages ago but that got caught on fire for some reason, this new venue is BIGGER, BETTER and a lot more FUN than what it used to. I think it’s the charm only these places can bring that appeals to more Filipinos. So amidst the evening traffic, we headed on to S Maison at the Mall of Asia complex in Pasay City.

On stage was a band I’ve never seen before but they were all singing like pros reminiscent of QUEEN, STYX, DEF LEPPARD to slow rock legends and our jaws just dropped.

They have a long list of cocktails but I suggest you start with the Blue Frog. Pretty good so you can let loose after a few minutes. Do not drink when you are the designated driver though!

They’ve got a mean Cheeseburger where the patty was just thick, char broiled perfectly so it was soft and smoky inside. The melted cheese and peppery rocket leaves was just so good to keep it interesting. You should come for the burgers alone, I’m not even joking.

The appetizers were a mix of american favorites, but this Asian Spring Roll felt like a meaty burrito. Fills you up with protein in no time.

The pasta was served piping hot, be careful of the hot plate because it’ll be really hot when it lands on your table. If you like fresh stuff, they have that done to a T.

How do they do it? By putting the open kitchen right beside you. Even if the place was packed, they maintained quality in everything we ordered. These people trained for crowds I’m sure! Kudos to the guy manning the grill because the burgers are TDF!

Now don’t go home without getting your own souvenir shirt, cap or anything that would remind you of this evening. Hard Rock Cafe just rocks and whether you want GOOD FOOD, ROCK MUSIC, or just a simple night with friends, you better do it in HARD ROCK CAFE MANILA. I am not even exaggerating. Drinks are 200-2K depending on what it is, food is around 195 (for appetizers) to about 1595 for the large protein plates. Pretty descent if you ask me.

Now lemme ask you, where will your next party be?
