This evening, we were able to watch Kiko en Lala. It’s a movie starred by Super Tekla directed by Adolf Alix Jr. and produced by Backyard Productions. Yes it is comedy, but it has shades of romance, slapstick, situational and skilled comedy. The story is cute and very funny, a bit slow on some instances but the crowd loves it. The kid beside me was barking, no joke, and her mom had to restrain her a couple of times because she was copying Super Tekla’s lines. Honestly, the crowd was cheering for the Derrick Monasterio - Tekla love team, but they had a twin situation, so you’ve got to see how their relationships would turn out. There is also a slight horror bit, but fun overall, you probably could take your family along if you want to laugh, I guess it is exactly what they want you to do. We also covered the red carpet. The cast and their celebrity friends supported the premiere night.
I really don’t think there would be words that could personify the one and only Megastar Ms. Sharon Cuneta and Asia’s Songbird Ms. Regine Velasquez, but this is happening this October 18 and 19, it’s called ICONIC, a fitting title to some of the country’s artists. What’s going to happen during that evening?
Ms. Sharon Cuneta says “I am emotionally and mentally drained (talking about retiring) and since I was in my teens, I have always said I will not allow entertainment to ear my soul. The landscape has changed and it has been a very good business, it’s just time to relax and focus on children. Actually I was shocked, we were not supposed to be together and then, he asked if he could talk to me, I said okay and we talked, we’re okay. PLDT, Martin and Pops were joking, people were warm. I told people in social media about my sadness, I had a lot of debt, like half a billion and had to work non stop, it was just focusing on God that I had to do. I was becoming like the people despise, I just surrendered everything to God and it was becoming lighter.”
About Ms. Regine, she says “I get kilig when she calls me ate. I believe in Regine and her sincerity, God is so good. Just like Bukas Luluhod ang mga Tala, the song Pangarap na Bituin happened to her. I don’t buy friendships, as many of you know I only do it quietly, sometimes I just have to scream about people who you are so proud of. It was a ring I bought in Sex and the City. It took a few months and got it made, it was really special and I wanted her to keep it for the rest of her life, they have been there for me since I was a kid but I want more love for the person I am and she has a very good heart. Ogie is my friends since the 80’s, they have been there for me since then.”
She was asked about the Sharon Gabby reunion last night and if he appeared in the concert, Ms. Sharon laments “I hope it won’t be a surprise like last night because this is a music event, I don’t think it’s the right time, last night wasn’t planned and it was for the teachers. My teachers in St. Paul they always see me in concerts in the US, I picked up a lot of my sweetness from them. It was so overwhelming because it has the chemistry, you cannot fake it, we have our families and it’s been years. It was so unplanned and the reaction of people was unbelievable, I put it all to God because we can always do plans, but it was God’s way to put it that WE ARE OKAY. It would be nice to work again.”
Ms. Regine told us about guests in her concert and says “In my side I would have Zeph in our concert, in Sharon’s side it will be Jeremy and I am happy for them. Might as well, we are doing other concerts but hopefully we could do this on a tour for Europe or Japan, I really want Japan! On stage we will have different food, with their support I am thankful to them because in the layout seeing two of the companies supporting us, it was really nice of them to support their artists. We will have lots of songs, LOTS of it. I was wanting to do a concert with her but it was hard because we were in different stations. It was hard to even talk, until serious stuff happened last year. The name Iconic was hard to come out with because it will look like we’re putting it lightly but I would use it for people who have put in the work. I have worked with a lot of singers and the concert that i do is a lot of times not about me, it’s about our collaboration. It’s a story and not a showdown, not a concert, there is a lot of heart in it. Us working together is our love and respect for each other, we have different preferences but we know we are loved, it’s a journey and it is heart not just made for the concert. I hope you all see us at the Araneta Coliseum. Don’t ask me about how I love her, I already put it out there and this is it! I have been the Chona all these years, after the concert, we might not be able to talk but I know I will be always here.”
Here is our video to tell you about the press conference:
Now all you’ve got to do is show up and buy tickets (Platinum is all sold out), you can get them at Ticketnet or the Araneta Ticket Booths. This is directed by Rowell Santiago, Musical Direction by Louie Ocampo and Raul Mitra. This is presented by Pagoda Cold Wave Lotion and PLDT Home.
The film features Millenials, one who grew up with internet, social media, for them to understand more how they became who they are. It’s not a singular message, but a throng among these different personalities. It also talks about intimacy, about numbers, self worth, not to justify but an understanding about what the picture is. This is under Regal Films and Directed by Jason Paul Laxamana. It stars Myrtle Sarroza, Jane Oineza , Albie Casiño, Jerome Ponce, Tony Labrusca.
The film also discusses how they go through their problems, it’s why they made the characters totally different from each other so you get to have your own perception of love, how it begins and ends. They hope this gets watched by different generations, why Millennials get to walk and talk that way so you could understand this generation and perhaps get a glimpse how they get through life, and the high competition of society.
That was deep, really deep. It shows on theaters this October 2, 2019. Maybe you should watch it so you could understand the generation which you already generalized and don’t understand.
Had so much in my plate literally and figuratively so I didn't get to pay for my bills this month. I have always been relying through online banking but if you count the number of instances that it's offline, you would get depressed I'm sure.
What I love about Paymaya is that they give you options, plus the fact that they give CASHBACKS and feel like everyday is Christmas! Imagine if you pay your PLDT, Meralco, Smart, Pagibig Fund or other merchants (on Fridays and Saturdays of September) until September 30, you instantly get Php 100 cash back on your first three bills (if you pay in full and on time). On top of this, you also get the chance to win in their promo worth all your bills next month (100 promo winners!), isn't that just AMAZING? (You just got to pay three unique bills worth 5K)
I did this on my phone last week, it was easy, not complicated and it's just a few clicks with Paymaya. Just choose Pay Bills, choose your biller, enter your account and payment, confirm your transaction and voila! It's that easy.
If I were you, I'd download Paymaya now because you don't really get cash backs in your bank's mobile app anyway. If you were to choose between the two, I'd rather pay where I'm getting something back right?
