Regine and Nate for Jollibee

Can I just say? That Jollibee commerical with songbird Regine Velasquez and son Nate is so cute!

Like the spaghetti, it falls on a mom's sweet moments with the kid hence the same perfect sweet spaghetti that Jollibee is also known for. Nate has always been the sweet one according to Regine and to give him what he wants while bonding, she makes sure she gets Jollibee Spaghetti when they're watching TV at home. This goes the same with special occasions when rewarding the good boy. During the commercial, Nate wanted to eat the spaghetti they had for props, it was that good, he always loved it! 

Meanwhile, I already have my Jollibee UAAP doll which I had to scour three cities, 9 stores, 5 malls. I think now that you're reading this you have to go to Jollibee and get a Spaghetti meal so you can purchase the dolls for 399.

I'm hungry.

OPEN with JC Santos and Arci Muñoz

Spent some hours in ABSCBN to talk to the stars of the film OPEN by Blacksheep and TRex outfits. Good reviews so far, but we had to hear their views about the topic of the movie, it is after all about open relationships. We felt how they got so serious about the journey of the two main characters.

Arci shares “I want to be able to do scenes that would satisfy the director, the artists, it was heavy, even the location was the same. I had to drink so I could vent out cry. We never faked it, I had to drink even before the scene and it was really had. I saw JC’s thing, but funny it wasn’t seen in the camera and we laughed about it. It didn’t make the cut on the heavy scene. I like the light scenes, if there is cake, wine, I love those scenes. I don’t know if there is one, it might spoil the movie. All movies I made, I wasn’t so involved but OPEN had me crying so much in the theater. I couldn’t breathe and had to freshen up before the interviews. It affected me much. If it has been mutually decided, maybe I could think about it. Maybe I’ll try it now since I’m single. It was just the right project for me, maybe in the future I could do it. I didn’t agree on it when I read it, but there’s a lot of types of being open so as long as you have constant and proper communication, and agree on it, maybe, and date people. We didn’t think about how we look, it is the feelings, the emotions, especially the ending because it was heartfelt. And I had to go back a lot of times. I have been cheated by all my exes, all three of them, and since we didn’t have rules or talked about it first, that’s cheating.”

JC says “My favorite scene was when he knelt down, Ethan isn’t like me, I couldn’t believe sometimes how much he’s like that. We are so different. Is it right? Do I receive things correctly!? I didn’t know I was funny, I felt he was wrong a lot of times. But I was with guys in my row of seats in the premiere, and we were laughing about it, it was because we know why.”

Andoy says “I guess that is also my statement, that ending had to be revised 27 times, it depends on the person looking at it on how they want to end. Arci was also sick at that time, I took that inspiration based on the emotions that the artists had that time. My friends were iffy about the topic, they are so sensitive, my artists often had to switch. I have no idea if there are plans on joining other festivals, TREX and Blacksheep will have to decide on that. The original directors cut was 2 hours and 9 minutes, maybe the producers cut would be shorter, but that had the explanation, maybe if Netflix picks it up it will be better. It went to different drafts, but I don’t think you’ll love Ethan after. It discusses a lot of taboo, ironic even the top grosser is about LGBT, there are a lot of things to talk about especially discrimination.”

It’s still showing on theaters, go check out the film OPEN and maybe, just maybe, you’ll change your mind about it like they did.

Unboxing the JOYROOM JR T04S Wireless Earbuds

This literally came at the right place, at the right time. 

For those who know how I work, I need about two powerbanks, two phones, my earphones and editing software so I could upload videos on YouTube. I also need this for listening to audio interviews so I could encode it as statements in my blog. Aside from that, I need ear phones to also use for listening music so I continue to get inspired to write. I also need it for gaming because we all know how important it is to hear footsteps in PubG, also the warnings on Mobile Legends. I have been using the wired earplug type for approximately two weeks when the unimaginable happened, the cord just went ballistic on me and suddenly looked like trash after being folded a couple of times in my bag. The wired earphones was expensive, but it didn't quite last long, I felt sad about it.

My option was to get the Apple Airpods, but when we talk about budget constraints, it just throws it out of the options. It costs an arm, and a leg, and the whole head. It was obvious,  I needed wireless earbuds, and I needed one fast. Dropped by the Digital Walker Store and found these JOYROOM JRT04S Wireless Earbuds for less the price. Heck, you could literally but several of these for one of the Airpods, so this for me was the more viable option. I wanted to be practical, but I was so surprised that with this, I didn't feel I was shortchanged.

The box contains the unit, the earphone charger and USB micro cable.

The actual earphones sits snug on the dock. It lights up when charging in and out of the container. I used it for several hours and lasted me the day after, before I had to charge it again. You'll hear a constant beeping sound in ear when it's about to run out of juice. Easy to know when to do it.

The earphone itself has a clicker on the side which functions like a home or play button. It can pause or play your track or video on YouTube, no need to do it on the phone at all. I loved that part so much I used it to play mobile games too!

The Selfie Lord had to do it LOL... it's very minimalist, light to carry around in your pants or even your bag.

It fits snugly on my ear, I have a huge one and it felt just right for me. I looked happy just abusing it with music all day!

I even ran around the house, cooked while it was attached, it didn't drop or stop connection even if I was a bit far from my phone. It uses Bluetooth connection so you can know how far it goes.

The audio from this one is not much concentrated on BASS, it had the type with real sound. I had it on full volume and I didn't get annoyed with the things I heard from it, this might be the coolest gadget I have to date. I should have bought one ages ago! I mean, why didn't I think of that right?

When you double click it, you can use it for SIRI functions. If you press it longer, it goes to the previous track on the left, the next one on the right. Like a kid in a candy shop I was already thinking about who to give this to during Christmas, I have tons of techie friends who would appreciate it. It also works on my other phone which runs on Android so it isn't just limited to my iPhone. I really love it, especially that it only costs Php 1,390. Digital Walker might run out of this thing in the next coming months, so if you're in the area, might as well get one fast! It is also available at OMG Feel Good Gadgets Store.

I'm enjoying it so much I have it with me all the time! So for my friends, you can ask me and if you're good, I'll let you try it. For everyone else,go get it in Digital Walker Stores nationwide!

Beard Papa Does 20% OFF 6pc Box Set

Whenever I hear Beard Papa, my mouth just starts to water. It happens every single time I pass by their Glorietta store. There’s also one in Greenhills Promenade so each time I have to do a premiere night, or attend a concert at the music museum, I get a fresh batch of those heavenly cream puffs which no one else can equal. The secret? I think it’s not, it’s just how fresh and natural it is. It’s exactly why they’ve been successful for 20 years, and to celebrate that they’re bringing you a treat that you won’t be able to resist. Ooohh yeah! It’s going to happen all days of September! 

Have you seen their Lengua de Chat? It’s a crisp cream puff topped with lengua de gato on top so you’ve got a mix of both flaky, a little sweet and crunchy. It’s the best of both worlds combining what they’ve loved in Japan and the Philippines, and before I forget they’re offering a whopping 20% discount for these as part of their 20th Anniversary 6pc box set. Today until the end of the month, they’re offering this for only Php 380, now isn’t that awesome?! 

Lengua de Chat

Lengua de Chat with White Peach cream filling

Chocolate Topping with Charcoal Crem Filling

Oh and if you don’t mind me suggesting, there are other things on the menu you should look out for. 

I’ve tried all the variants and they’re all good. The best one for me is the White Peach because it’s got that same cream with a whiff of white peach flavor in it. For those who choose to stay in the classics, the Vanilla Custard is divine. If you’re a little adventurous, the charcoal flavor is might good and grainy (with health benefits too). If you’re a chocolate lover, try the variants with chocolate base on it, because with Beard Papa, you can’t really go wrong. 

Hurry before things run out! It’s the best time to go back to Beard Papa! Yum! Again, they are located at the 2nd Floor of Glorietta 2 and Greenhills Promenade. Just go and get them while it's fresh and hot!
