Jamie Fournier

Jamie Carmel Fournier is an events host, radio DJ, instructional designer, and artist. Interacting with individuals while hosting, enjoying music every single day with others, and losing herself to days filled with painting are amongst her favorite things to do in life. She loves traveling and is absolutely crazy about dogs. To her, these two make her busy life more exciting. She always has a soft spot for dogs, whether it's a working dog she sees in the mall or any dog that she meets every day. She treats them like human beings; she sees them like human beings. They feel, they communicate, and sometimes she even thinks they have bigger hearts than people. Jamie has a 3 year old beagle named Chase.


Lestre Zapanta

Lestre Zapanta is well-known in the pet community as "The Pinoy Dog Whisperer." As a dog master with 15 years of experience analyzing canine behavior, he has become the go-to guy for people whose dogs are aggressive, fearful, excited, or have other behavioral issues. Growing up in the province, Lestre has observed street dogs whom he believes are more sound, stable and secure than most pampered purebreds. Although he studied Engineering in the University of the Philippines and also took up Flying in Airlink, Lestre still landed in the place he truly loves--being with dogs.

Multiple Intelligence International School invites families to a run-by-any-means fun run for a greener tomorrow



Multiple Intelligence International School, an advocate for sustainable schools and the multiple intelligence framework implemented in the United States and other countries, is hosting a run-by-any-means fun run on March 8, 2pm, at the University of the Philippines Diliman Academic Oval.

Part of the “Green MOVEment #4GreenPH” campaign, the fun run or fun walk is inviting mommies and daddies with their kids, grandparents, even those in wheelchairs; and anybody with a heart for the environment to be part of the awareness activity.

“The activity aims to encourage everyone to make a stand to ensure a green future for today's kids,” says Joy Abaquin, founding directress at MIIS.

Kids can wear costumes made of recycled or upcycled materials. The best “green” costume gets a reward at the end of the race.

Cash prizes, medals, and certificates will be given away to the fastest, youngest, oldest runners and the family with the most number of participants.

Participants can choose either the 3K or the 5K category. Both are open to parents, kids, and running enthusiasts of all ages.

Other activities include a performance by MIIS students using indigenous instruments. The school, in cooperation with Smart Communications, will also be recognizing the 2015 Multiple Intelligence awardees. These are personalities who have changed the lives of Filipinos through their particular intelligence in the area of sustainable development.

The Green MOVEment will benefit the Cambantoc Reforestation Project, a six-year-old MIIS endeavor that helps in the replanting and maintenance of trees in the Laguna watershed, promote environmental literacy in public schools, and fund the school community’s Green School Movement projects.

“Advocating for a sustainable future for our children is a shared responsibility of all parents. We invite everyone to lead the way by joining the fun run or fun walk,” enjoins Abaquin.

Italianni’s new ‘Tastes of Italy’ dishes are inspired by authentic Italian flavors



The passion and flair that Italians are known for are evident, not only in their culture and the arts, but in their cuisine as well.   Antipastos and primos lovingly tease the palate ;  secondos are savory, they immediately satisfy while dolces are  decadent, you could not afford to miss a mouthful.

The delectable dishes of Italy come alive in Italianni’s new offerings collectively known as  “Tastes of Italy.”   Created by Bistro Corporate Chef, Josh Boutwood, these were inspired by the authentic flavors of the region using fresh ingredients.  What’s more, they are available in big  servings that are made for sharing, staying true to the Italian tradition of  celebrating with family and friends over mounds of food on the dining table.



Osso Bucco di Fattoria

Start off with Osso Bucco di Fattoria, a Milanese specialty of veal shanks braised in a  richly-flavored sauce of vegetables and wine.  Served on a bed of polenta, it is rustic and comforting which explains why Chef Josh chose to add fattoria (farm) to its name.


 Agnello Brasato

                The heartiness of Italian cuisine is also apparent in Agnello Brasato, lamb shanks  cooked in a robust mixture of vegetables, red wine and other seasonings.   Choose between creamy polenta or garlic mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce.


Guanciale Croccante e Vongole

Dining at Italianni’s is not for the faint-hearted, especially when feasting on hearty meat dishes like pancetta or Italian pork belly.  Chef Josh has prepared the Pancetta Croccante e Vongole which are crispy fried pork ribs and Manila clams served with Arancini (or Italian rice croquettes).


Parmesan & Garlic crusted Atlantic Cod

The vast coastline of Italy also presents a  great opportunity for relishing seafood.  Italianni’s introduces the Parmesan & Garlic crusted Atlantic Cod, a light but filling fish dish seared with lemon potatoes and little neck clam sauce. 


Pan-Seared Peppered Fish


And while you’re at it, have your favorite glass of wine with the Pan-Seared Peppered Fish. Italianni’s has opted for the popular Tilapia and melded it with mixed fresh almond infused pappardelle, artichoke, sundried tomatoes and olives.

“Tastes of Italy” guarantees that you’ll get the most out of your Italian dining experience in every visit.  Italianni’s warm and effusive flavors beckon you. Come in. Have a taste.

CAVA: The Name To Remember in Beauty and Aesthetics




February 24, 2015. We are in an age where looking good is just as important as being smart and talented. When we look good, we feel good and that confidence helps us reach our full potential.

Whether you're learning makeup in order to bring out your beauty
or striving to become a professional makeup artist, CAVA is the acronym that stands for it all.

Advanced Airbrush Makeup (8 hours)Meant to complement the Basic Airbrush Makeup  course, the advanced course tackles a variety of looks to be achieved using the airbrush such as bridal airbrush makeup, avant-garde looks, and tattoo coverup.

Multimedia Makeup (12 hours)This program is essential for artists who want to work in the entertainment industry. It teaches the proper way to do makeup for print, television, film, and theater.

get the complete makeup experience from each class. CAVA employs standard modules that
are uniquely CAVA's. This, combined with the mentors' distinct style of teaching, ensures that
students will have more than a complete grasp of the course.



Hazel Gonzales, one of the pioneers in the industry, she started as a make-up artist and beauty consultant for Estee Lauder, being primed under the highly esteemed international trainers for the brand. 


At the forefront of CAVA's highly-trained and highly-esteemed mentor roster is CAVA founder

and moved on to be distinctly recognized as an International Airbrush Specialist, Professional
Bridal Makeup Artist, as well as the Creative Director of HG Studio. She was also given the
honor of being the first prestige member at United Makeup Artists of the Philippines (UMAP),

Makeup Artistry, New York Make-up Designory and Tony Galvez School of Cosmetics in Manila;

The big-budget epic "DRAGON BLADE" marks a new milestone in Jackie Chan's career

The Protection Squad


Jackie Chan waited seven years for this. This February, everyone can finally see why Dragon Blade is such an important film for the beloved action legend.  Aside from being the lead star, he is also the film's producer and action choreographer. All his hard work is for a noble purpose.  And everything began with a meeting with Director Daniel Lee.

            While discussing potential projects together seven years ago, Lee told Chan the legend of a Roman legion coming into China, and Chan asked him to develop it into a full screenplay.  The two agreed on the main theme of the movie - that people from different races can live in harmony.  Lee followed it up with extensive research, even attending a touring exhibition called "The Two Empires: the Eagle and the Dragon".  The resulting script is the compelling story of an alliance between a Chinese warrior named Huo An and a Roman commander called Lucius, fighting a power-hungry Roman ruler that is Tiberius.  Together with Jackie Chan, bringing these characters to life are Hollywood superstars John Cusack (Being John Malkovich) and Adrien Brody (The Pianist). 


The blades of Jackie Chan and John Cusack clash


            In Dragon Blade, Huo An (Jackie Chan) is the Commander of the Silk Road Protection Squad that protects China from invaders.  Wrongfully accused of treason, he and his men are sent as slave laborers to repair the city walls of Wild Geese Gate, a forsaken trading post in the desert.  Meanwhile, Lucius (John Cusack) is fleeing his land with his legion of soldiers and a boy named Publius whom he is protecting from the ruthless Tiberius (Academy Award Best Actor Adrien Brody).  Their journey led them to the Wild Geese Gate where they encounter Huo An's troops.  A battle ensues, but the two leaders surprisingly become comrades.  But Tiberius (Adrien Brody), who has killed his own father and blinded his younger brother Publius, is not far behind.  Arriving with a giant army, he demands that Huo An hand over Lucius and Publius.  As Lucius and Huo An join forces to take Tiberius down, an even bigger conspiracy involving the fate of China unravels. 


The duel between Jackie Chan and Adrien Brody is the climax of the film

           
            An epic story calls for a grand production, and Dragon Blade is making records for its US$65 Million budget, making it one of the most expensive films in history.  100,000 film props were used, 60,000 of which had been handcrafted.  Director Daniel Lee admits that the amount of props made for Dragon Blade is larger than any of his previous films, but it is necessary to give justice to the historical scenes.  To build and store these props, the production team had to build a warehouse with a floor area of 2,500 square meters.  Even Jackie Chan marvels at the scale of the warehouse, saying, "You’ll definitively be stunned if you take a tour around it."  He has also been part of the film's key creative team from concept to the construction of the large-scale props. The prop team jokes that “he did most of the work on set."


There are a lot of great scenes in Dragon Blade movie


  Jackie Chan and his stunt team handled the action sequences that are at the center of the film.  Since most of the cast did not have an action background, the team trained the actors and designed the sequences around them.  Chan himself trained John Cusack during breaks, teaching him tricks in sword-fighting. 


The 36 nations of the Western region


            700 crew members of different nationalities worked on set, speaking more than ten languages including Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Korean, French, German and Russian.  Despite their differences, everyone worked hand in hand in overcoming the many obstacles in filming.  Shot in China's western frontier, the cast and crew had to endure extreme weather conditions, like the  continuous rain in Hengdian and the countless sandstorms in Aksai. Tents and camera equipment got damaged, the cast had to endure the unbearable heat (sometimes above 50 degrees Celsius) wearing heavy armor, furs and overcoats with an average shooting day that lasted 14 to 15 hours.  Jackie Chan said that conditions were so unbearable to be beyond one's imagination.  But just like the character of Huo An who never loses faith in his dream of peace, they all carried on, moving forward, helping each other create the unique action epic.


Choi Si-won of Super Junior in one of his many scenes with Jackie Chan


            Dragon Blade also stars a couple of Asian heartthrobs: Choi Si-Won, from Korea's popular boy band Super Junior, who plays Huo An's right-hand man; and Vanness Wu, from Taiwan's F4 & Meteor Garden phenomenon, who himself filmed in 40-degree heat without shade and dressed in full winter gear as the contemporary archeologist who finds an ancient military journal that reveals the story of the lost Roman legion in China.  Describing the film, Wu says, "I believe the audience will be moved to tears.”


            Catch this remarkable story of peace and heroism.  Dragon Blade opens in cinemas on February 18.  From Viva International Pictures and MVP Entertainment.
