Myke Celis Does TEDx Hong Kong and TEDxYouth Lucena City

It looks like Life Coach Myke Celis is in a roll. He did a few TEDx stints in Malaysia and just recently he did TEDxCUHK in Hong Kong last April 6, 2019 as part of the roster of speakers of the event.

He says “This really was a dream cone true and I had to even wear a Superman costume to prove a point. I discussed “STUCKcess: When Success Plateaus” and how we were all brought up to be invincible like him. But I digress, we all have a purpose and what’s important is how we all grew in the process, to be our own heroes and how we can become our #bestmeever.”

“There were about 500 people in the audience, it was the biggest I’ve ever done a talk in. It was life changing and I am so grateful even my co speakers messaged me and told me how they enjoyed the topic.”

He also did a talk in Lucena City via TEDxYouthLucena, he wanted to inspire more people and had to start them young.

Right now, he is still busy with his #BestMeEver Self Actualizarion Personal Breakthrough Program slated on May 3. If you want to collaborate or get in touch with Myke Celis, you may contact him via myke@bestmeever.com.

EBC Films Does Guerrero Dos

After the successful staging of Hapi ang Buhay the Musical, EBC Films continues to produce inspirational and values based projects hence this new one called “Guerrero Dos, Tuloy ang Laban”. If you remember Director Carl Cuevas did the first installment but people have clamored for a part 2, so they gave in and made this possible.

EBC Films is the film arm of Eagle Broadcasting System. Guerrero won Best Feature Comedy Film at the Amsterdam International Film Festival and Best Editing for a Foreign Language Film at the Madrid International Film Festival. They promise to make inspirational and values based films without making it so boring. Guerrero has also been screened in the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, and hopefully they would be able to make the same feat with Guerrero Dos or even surpass it.

Weng Dela Fuente the Eagle Broadcasting President says “How do we face life with lots of rumors around you. We did this with humor with our first project Hapi ang Buhay the Musical and this time we are doing a storycon of Guerrero Dos. Being a part of this is an honor and we are looking forward for more movies like these, keep up the good work and continue to make us proud EBC Films!”

Present also at the occasion was Stephen Cruz, Julio Sabenorio, Carlo Cuevas, Art De Guzman, Mia Suarez and Genesis Gomez.

Carlo Cuevas says “This part 2 will be starting with the story and struggles of Miguel Guerrero. It has a serious message but will have a light take on it. It will be shot mostly in the hospital. Mang Ruben will be pivotal, he will be there standing by another patient that will also be told in the story. His patient has depression, but will be cured by his faith. Miguel will be in a coming of age stage, so there will be awkward lines, but still in a positive vibe. It will be entertaining and hopefully touch more on his family story. He will be waiting for his brother to wake up so you will see that unfold.”

There you go!

Php 299 Buffet + Music at JKAS Place Congressional

In my side of town it's actually easy to do events, host parties or just have a good time because of my proximity to Tomas Morato, which probably has everything we need for anything under the sun.

In the North, not much, but I'm so glad to note that it is about to change with a new spot in Congressional Avenue. It's called JKAS Place at 618 B Congressional Avenue Project 8 Quezon City. It is a full blown restaurant, an events venue and a hangout place after office hours, my friend Rodel Flordeliz of Nognoginthecity.com introduced me to it. They are open from 11am to 11pm but the buffet pretty much starts in the evening, I couldn't believe they've even offered it for a measely 299 which is super affordable. We tried it out for change.

This place is huge, which pretty much could accommodate 200 people. It is divided into three sections, a restaurant cafe in one side, then a music lounge/events space in the other half of the ground floor. They also have function rooms upstairs for private functions and the place is pretty new, no signs of wear and tear, I would be surprised if they have lots of weddings and receptions held here. Though in this part of the metro, they don't do highway robbery and kept their food priced low which I think stemmed from their experience in the food business. You see, they started as a catering company for a couple of years and they know how to keep people coming back. Serving quality but affordable dishes must have been second nature for them.

The day we went there was special, Fridays at JKAS Place had us enjoy live bands namely G7 band and Plethora. The Wish 107.5 bus often also docks in this place so if you're raring to have a grand time with friends and family, maybe a short visit to Congressional Avenue should be done. Check out how fun it was being there during weekends!

They have tons of food for the buffet spread and a dedicated place for preparing your own "sawsawan". If you prefer ordering ala carte, that would be easy. If you are in groups, I would suggest you call in advanced and reserve a table via their phone number 728 22 98 or 09171005086. They do Asian Fusion dishes so if you are fond of the cuisine, they do those lovely spring rolls that are quite good. They also have a mean beef dish you should ask to recommend if you are there. 

You may also see their Facebook page for schedules and additional promos because it's all there! I had a wonderful time with my blogger friends, I would say, the journey there was surely worth it! The food was good especially for the price!
