Ice Seguerra and Nyoy Volante at Palacio De Maynila

It has been a while since I’ve watched an acoustic concert but it has always been a staple for Filipinos especially as it patterns on our love for “harana” in ways to woo those who we love and perhaps get that special YES we always looked forward to. Ice Seguerra has had a number of hits and has always had that voice unique to her, you would want to get her songs played over and over again. Nyoy Volante on the other hand may have been super good on musicals lately but even before that, he’s always taken us on acoustic trips in gigs here and around the country, so seeing them together in one occasion may be the perfect pre valentines gift to get your romance going. It is called Acoustic Love Journey which is to be held at Palacio De Maynila in Roxas Boulevard, a good jump off point to anything romantic in the charming historic city of Manila.

Ice Seguerra says “My style has always been fit for Valentines shows and it gives me joy when you see people enjoy the music. I don’t like what ifs, I want to always try things and in politics and show business you learn to be immune, but I always miss my wife and I have to take care of my relationship, my family. I like it in Palacio De Maynila because it is very intimate, there are no bad seats, although Lisa couldn’t go to some of my shows, she will be here."

She reveals “I really am planning to have a child and on January we started doing injections because we need the quality of the eggs to be really good, we had to go through the process and after harvesting and freezing, I had to choose profiles of Dads and when we Lisa and I have to talk about it all. It’s really nature taking its course, it is from me, we just got help. I didn’t have to pay myself, or have surrogates, we have a chance and I hope we get lucky. In his profile he says he looks like Liam Hemsworth, 6ft (we need to compensate), blue eyes, and his profile was almost the same traits as Lisa, I hope he is.”

Make sure you get tickets via SM TICKETS or via Palacio 5247606 / 5273239. Their concert starts promptly at 8pm, so let your special someone enjoy the evening of acoustic love with Ice and Nyoy. You will definitely enjoy this!

Martin and Lani Does TIMELESS CLASSICS

February 14 seems to be a good day in the Philippines as it always seems to be filled with love. Valentines day is no excuse but Martin Nievera and Lani Misalucha is dishing out TIMING CLASSICS at the PICC produced by Starmedia Entertainment and co presented by Global Police Community Relations, PLDT and Belo. This will be under the musical direction of Louie Ocampo.

The Concert King and Asia’s Nightingale has always been a staple during this season because of their long standing love songs, opm hits and just about any song they can get their hands to because they can sing a dictionary and get away with it, they’re that good.

Lani says “Martin and I always do something different even if I don’t rehearse because he doesn’t just perform, he makes sure it comes out well, he has always been hands on. He is OC, a control freak, but he wants that. He and I want people to have a good time. He is an appetizer for that Valentines night, he sets the mood. The songs will be beautiful, it won’t be the songs we did in the past, better bigger song numbers.”

Martin adds “We are going to do songs that are timeless, give you our renditions, all timeless classics and I always put things around Lani and it will be a good night. We won’t be putting in too much songs you would get tired. There will be motown, feel good type of songs. She will also sing a new Lani song called Timeless. It’s a great song.”

Second Act Mirrors Workforce Issues

Who says life is fair? It really isn’t.

Now how far would you go to really fix your life!? Would you be okay living simply or would you rather go ahead of the pack and live a life of lies?

These are the questions that will be asked in the movie Second Act which stars Jennifer Lopez and Vanessa Hudgens. Yes, this movie felt it was much like the second coming of Maid in Manhattan but it was more of women empowerment, less the drama and stress because everyone was so accepting. The film also discusses the reality of teen pregnancy, adoption, being homeless and how opportunities only usually go to booksmarts and not street smarts. Jennifer Lopez is always endearing, you will always root for her and the reason I mentioned it is not stressful is because it falls into place and it makes her life susceptible to misfortunes, but she gets to still fix it with second chances. Vanessa Hudgens on the other hand was brought up well, aggressive but not to the point of hating, not to the point of being a b!tch, she really isn’t.

If you do love Maid in Manhattan on some level, this will surely be something you would love too. This is also distributed by Viva Entertainment in the Philippines. Go watch it on January 30!

Joshua Garcia Cries Over Hotdogs

When Joshua Garcia arrived at his house, he saw his friends from a distance, laughing, enjoying their time together, holding in their hands one thing. It’s the Classic Cheesy Jolly Hotdog. It’s made of beef, enveloped in a soft bun then smothered with their special dressing, grated cheese and ketchup. Yes he feels betrayed because they started eating first, but for sure his friends made an effort to make it up to him by serving him the same Classic Jolly Hotdog, who wouldn’t be happy about that!

Ria Castillo the brand manager of Jolly Hotdog says “In behalf of Jollibee, welcome. For such a todo performance, only Jolly Hotdog can compare. What more can you ask for? It’s doesn’t only taste good, it’s delivered through a one of a kind campaign. We are happy to see Joshua Garcia be part of our Jolly Hotdog campaign, todo toppings, todo sarap!”

Joshua says “I’m really happy that Jollibee trusted me with this, I remember I always had a dream or having a Jollibee birthday party. Back then, it was considered not a complete childhood if you didn’t do it here. How I wish I had my own party in this place and have my friends over. It’s todo sarap, todo toppings! I wonder where my Jolly Hotdog is? (Then they served it to us).”

You will be seeing this new video with him and the rest of the gang through Jollibee’s official social media channels, Jollibee Studios on Youtube, Twitter and Instagram. The Classic Jollibee Hotdog only costs 50 pesos in all Jollibee stores, if you want one, you don’t have to cry.
