Derek Ramsay, Coleen Garcia in Star Cinema's Ex With Benefits

It was a hot and humid afternoon that greeted us in a school location of the film "Ex With Benefits" starring Derek Ramsay and Coleen Garcia. This is produced jointly by Viva Films and Star Cinema and directed by Gino Santos. The film is set to be shown next month and is eagerly awaited by fans of the book and its artists. Derek Ramsay says "The set is fun, our environment is young and is very conducive for making this film. The screenplay is written by the writer of hashtag Y, so it's going to have small similarities in treatment.

ABSCBN was so kind to invite me to promote in several of their shows. Coleen here was very very good, we're like family even before the shoot and she also adds in a lot of things in scenes where I think she surprised me. Most would think she's antipatika but I got to know her on a personal level and I felt she's really humble. 

I learned how to become an actor with the great directors that I've worked with in the past. This is because they believed in me, and they have asked me to be paired with great actresses too. We had our issues in the story line, but the relationship between Coleen's character and me never died. The attack is fresh with our film. About the issue online with medreps, like anything in life you should get all the information that you can before you judge. I hope they watch the film first before they jump into conclusions and not just because they've only watched the trailer."

Coleen Garcia added "This is the most daring thing that I've ever done on film, but it's not the path I'm only considering. I want to do more, other roles that can challenge me as an actress and hopefully I'd do good. One benefit that you can get from falling in love with an ex again is the familiarity, and the fact that you already know what it is about him/her that didn't work. Aside from that, the feeling of not having attachments, aside from that, it's the fantasy that you had a moment with the person you loved. 

Right now I'm experimenting with the roles that I'm taking, I feel everyone's leaving their mark and we're different people. I couldn't even go to showtime to promote this and because of schedules. Angel Locsin even advised me about this project, she really helped me. This character had to be strong, I'm different than my character in this film because I don't brseak dsown my walls. I had to be very vulnerable in this film, so I had to put myself in the character's position.  I hope people see that. I hope you give this a chance and see yourself, your friends or family in the characters. I hope you support the movie, it's officially my launching film."

"All of them will have hugot lines. I know I'm young, I'm only 25. People might think that's a hindrance and people might bash me because of that, but I'm aware that it's normal in the industry. The love scenes I can say are very animalistic on paper but when they executed it, it looked very classy. Some people even say it looks like a Hollywood movie, we'll take that! I'm very excited to let you see this project, my first mainstream film." says the films director Gino Santos.

As for me, I think they've got a point. The consensus I found is that the film is fictitious, if a character is being portrayed I don't think it should be taken that they are insinuating the whole industry IS like that. If they had cops here, would the whole PNP be offended? Remember The Love Affair? The lawyer there became a third party, but that didn't get lawyers filing cases right? MTRCB understood that and say this is a work of fiction, if you feel offended, watch the whole movie first before you pass judgement, you don't know the whole story yet.

This movie will be in theaters this September 2, 2015 so you better go to theaters next month to watch it!

Really Be Rich with Just Roll It

This day has been really fun, happy and exciting. I've been buying a lot of properties lately, built houses, hotels, towers and had several colonies this afternoon. I won a lot, some other people also owe me money. I lost some earlier but played for it again, and got it back. Oh yes I've been also riding several spaceships, going back and forth to Andromeda galaxy, bought planets, space stations and needles and still have some of the others placed with tariffs so my enemies would have to pay a hefty price. I want them all to lose their money in just a few minutes because I want to win. Obviously, the fact that you've read that just now may imply that I'm crazy. No, I'm definitely not. It' just that I've found an online game lately that have sparked my interest. It's called Just Roll It. It's catchy, easy to understand and they've got plenty of game play you could choose from. I just installed it on my laptop this evening and by the looks of it, I'm hooked!

Here's how we got it installed:

Register an account first by going to http://justrollit.ph and clicking on the Register link indicated there.

Registering an account would make you play tons of online games on their servers. Since we're here for Just Roll It, go back to the http://JustRollIt.ph page and click on Download. It will prompt you to save an executable file on your PC so go ahead and say yes, then run the file and follow the prompts.

Installing is easy and only requires a few megabytes of disk space.

It will also be creating a shortcut on your programs list, so go ahead and hit NEXT.

Confirm all the settings and click the Install button.

Wait for it to complete extracting files and install the game on your computer.

Now it's time to launch the game and play Just Roll It!

After installing the game on your laptop or PC, launch it and you'll have this prompt. This is where you'll input the username and password you created when you registered. You've also got the links of their social media channels plus their community. It's also got a bulletin where it indicates the updates they do for the game. If you need help on how to play the game, they've got the game guide also listed there. If we're all set let's login.

Since you're new around here, you have to choose your initial character. They've got different ones that have different characteristics and strengths. I obviously would choose the one closest to my looks and that's Steve. He's good looking, has a bit of a back story (which you can read after you click) he's a bartender just making ends meet, but I chose him mainly because of his high amount of Fortune Luck.

This would mean that if you choose to have other characters, you'll get other parts of the stats higher. Playing this game would not just depend on the way you throw the dice and land on the board because the character you use also matters.

Then after that, they'll ask you to create a nickname that you'll choose to use on the game. Of course I used the obvious choice for it, my website. Then I was taken to a Tutorial that would explain step by step How to Get Rich. I strongly advise you go through it as they'll give away freebies right after it that could make your game start a tad better. They'll give you extra characters, things that could pimp up your character so you've got backgrounds and stuff. I just got a rain cloud by doing this, isn't that neat?

Just Roll It has different servers and different rooms that you can choose from. You get to play this game with other people online and in real time. I lurked around too much so I stayed in the lobby. If you're there observing other players, chances are; you're also going to be invited by other players who also created rooms. You can choose to accept or decline, but I think I played with this guy alone for my first match. I was then sent to the actual game after accepting his invitation and you know what? I won my first match!

The game's concept is pretty simple. It's an online board game. You basically "Just Roll It" which means "roll the die" and when you get a number, your character goes to that planet and ask you to put up an establishment. Other players who land in your planet will have to pay you rent but they'll be able to purchase it if they have the money available. There are also other parts on the board where you need to pick a card and it'll contain either taxes (which you need to pay for), attacks (so you can pillage your opponents planets) or get perks (like discounts on properties or defend yourself from other players). The bigger the establishment you can put up in that planet, the bigger the rent. You basically have to make your opponents run out of money, have them all go bankrupt so you can win the game. You can battle it out with three other people, or team up like the one above. If you need another player, you can invite people in the lobby or those in the same servers.

As for me, I'm going to play this game like a pro. I'll have to buy more planets, obtain more galaxies, ride space ports and try not to land on Andromeda and get trapped there. I still have a lot of colonies to put up so I could get my opponents give up when they see my name on the players list. Nah I'm just joking! I just saved the best for last, this should be a good reason to play "Just Roll It".

Just Roll It wants you to be rich in real life! Yes, if you play enough to enjoy this, they'll go ahead and make you the high roller that you want to be. You get the chance to win Php 1,000 daily, a prize pool of Php 62,000 monthly, or qualify for the weekly and monthly raffle in a span of 3 months so you could win a prize pot of Php 1,000,000. So come and join me in the craze and play the newest, cutest and most exciting game online. This is Just Roll It!

Barbie Forteza: A Meaningful 18th Birthday Celebration

I was in the same place when Barbie Forteza celebrated her birthday party last year and she's at it again. When asked about how to celebrate her debut, she uttered "I am so happy, I am excited to turn 18 but can I wish for something? I don't want to have a party!" which started us to get interested how she wants to do it last July 31. Barbie wanted to use the money to celebrate for other meaningful things so she did the deed by going to Philippine Children’s Medical Center again, although this time, she's participating in the “Adopt-A-Room” program of the said hospital.

Kids here have a special place in Barbie's heart. She's actually been doing this in the last 4 years and with the program she could adopt a room, then transform and renovate it into a special private room. The proceeds of the room will go to the PCMC charity rooms on a continued basis so it could help countless children in charity cases, something she's always wished for every time she's here.

The project is still on going and Barbie's adopted room is still being worked on with the help of Architects Jose Ricky Martinez and Richie Ongteco. GMA Artist Center has also helped with the arrangements as usual. Barbie Forteza is officially the first celebrity to do this because the other rooms in the hospital were adopted by private institutions and brands. This is an opportunity that she says is very thankful for.

Barbie Forteza was also joined by her friends and fellow Kapuso artists Krystal Reyes and Thea Tolentino. She was also very thankful that they were there to help her give joy and gifts for the kids.

Barbie also joined in entertaining the kids of PCMC, a puppet show, gift giving and snacks were served. Barbie Forteza thanked her sponsors BNY, Unisilver Time, Posh Nails, Flawless, BS Mobile, Fruitas, Belladona Bags, Boysen Paint, Happy Haus Donuts, Pizza Pedricos, Kettle Korn, JC Catering, Cris-Carl Stuffed Toys, Megasoft Diapers, Muebles De Cristina Furniture, Fernando’s Bakeshop, Aquabest, Chocovron, Ritz Biscuits, Jao Ming Glutathione, RPKreativ, Dove and Fresh Look Contact Lenses for also chipping in on the renovation costs and giveaways during the small event.

This celebration was definitely meaningful, no wonder she's so blessed and still continue to be in GMA top rater Half Sisters. Stay humble and sweet Barbie!
