NOIX Gear : Innovating and Re-defining Urban Street Fashion

Gearing up with my Noix white hoodie 
Photo by: Bedalyn of Beaux Memoir Photo Booth 

I am not a fan of sweat shirts and hoodie. But when it comes to comfort clothing coupled with style and fine texture, I'm so "in" to it! 

When Noix Gear was first introduced to me by my very good friend Stanley, I couldn't fully express my reactions yet, but when I finally geared up on it and headed the streets wearing this Noix white hoodie as my top, the people who were looking back and taking a second look can now attest to its street smart peg! It was so comfy I can even wear it sun up or sun down. 



Wearing Noix Gear gives me the freedom to express myself. I can freely move from one place to another unmindful of the weather. This is so versatile that you can also mix and match this with your skinny pants, like what I am wearing, it's a Uniqlo skinny pants (nice fit!)  and I also opted to put on my Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II black canvas (Climate Change). You can match this hoodie with your jeans, skirts or shorts perhaps. 


Experimental pose! Me and my friends find this pose funny but I still posted it because it's a self-expression. I wanted to show the different side of me. I can be boyish sometimes, you know... :)) 

Joining me during my photoshoot were my very supportive blogger/friends 

Angelyn Demo of mommysmaglife.com , me and Gracee Bongolan of itsmegracee.blogspot.com

NYC ACTING COACH ANTHONY VINCENT BOVA CONDUCTS WORKSHOP FOR GMA ARTIST CENTER STARS

 


New York City-based acting coach Anthony Vincent Bova conducted a special and exclusive 3-day acting workshop for selected GMA Artist Center talents last August 15-17, 2017.

Also an actor, writer, and artistic director, Anthony Vincent is a protégé of famed acting coach Eric Morris, who has taught some of the best actors in the Philippines, including Armida Siguion-Reyna, Leo Martinez, Michael de Mesa, Joel Torre, and Pinky Amador.  In fact, Anthony Vincent Bova is the only instructor in New York endorsed by Mr. Morris to teach the Eric Morris System of Acting, one of the most popular, effective, and credible acting methods in the world. Anthony Vincent’s credits include Reading Rainbow with Levar Burton, The Emperors Club directed by Michael Hoffman with Kevin Kline (The Pink Panther, Beauty and Beast) and Patrick Dempsey (Grey’s Anatomy), and the National Tour of Cats. 


Anthony Vincent Bova 

For the special 3-day workshop, Anthony Vincent facilitated classes together with Ana Feleo of Laurice Guillen Actor’s Studio (Ana is a Bova student in New York).

The lucky GMA Artist Center stars that participated include Addy Raj, Andrea Torres, Andre Paras, Ayra Mariano, Bianca Umali, Bruno Gabriel, Chynna Ortaleza, Dave Bornea, Derrick Monasterio, Diva Montelaba, Gabbi Garcia, Gil Cuerva, Isabelle de Leon, Inah de Belen, Jak Roberto, Jazz Ocampo, Jeric Gonzales, Joyce Ching, Juancho Trivino, Julie Anne San Jose, Kate Valdez, Kim Domingo, Klea Pineda, Koreen Medina, Kristoffer Martin, Lindsay de Vera, Matthias Rhoads, Max Collins, Miguel Tanfelix, Mike Tan, Mikee Quintos, Mikoy Morales, Nar Cabico, Pancho Magno, Phytos Ramirez, Rocco Nacino, Rodjun Cruz, Ruru Madrid, Sanya Lopez, Stephanie Sol, Thea Tolentino, Vaness del Moral, and Yasmien Kurdi.






“It’s rare that a network will groom their artists and invest in them. I’m very impressed by the way GMA is really stepping up and putting up an effort and it’s an honor to be part of that,” said Anthony Vincent Bova. “You might have talent but if it’s not cultivated it’s wasted, the artist will never hit their potential and never hit a high level of creative fulfillment.”

The participants, who were carefully selected to be scholars for this world-class acting workshop, were given individual and group exercises where they had to tap into previous experiences and use those to help them with their acting scenes. The activities were especially crafted for the GMA Artist Center stars to further improve their skills in character development and empower them to become confident, creative, and consistently effective actors.

Jerico Estregan stars in "Amalanhig | The Vampire Chronicle"

Jerico Estregan stars in his very first action-horror-thriller movie entitled "Amalanhig" 

This is the very first time that I've heard of the term "Amalanhig." Just like me, I am pretty sure that you would also like to know anything about it. From what we we've known during the film's presscon, "Amalanhig" is an evil creature in Visayan mythology and folklore, particularly among Hiligaynon speaking groups from Panay Island. 

It is a hybrid being (half-man, half-animal) with longer upper canine teeth used to kill its prey. A subspecies living in isolation thirsty for blood. It is a monster cross breed/ mutation between zombies and vampires that may be the missing link between humans and animals. The last survivor of man's genetic ancestors. 



What caught my attention in this movie was the mysterious story itself. And since vampires and zombies are also the "in" plots nowadays, I feel much curious about what this movie "Amalanhig The Vampire Chronicle" could offer, a Pinoy version of zombie-vampire genre. 



Sanya Lopez 

Joining the newest action star if the millennial age is the "Encantadia" star, Sanya Lopez who plays Jerico's girlfriend in the story who also went out with him to pursue the search for "Amalanhig" in a very remote place called San Esteban. 

During the presscon, Jerico related to us that, her leading lady in the movie, Sanya was direk Jun Posadas' personal choice. The young Estregan also shared us, "Habang nag-shushoot kami, dahan-dahan din naman nadedevelop 'yung friendship namin through out the set because indirectly, at the back of my mind, we had to because in this movie, girlfriend ko s'ya dito. Kailangan, I had to be charming towards her, I had to be caring towards her so I had to show in the movie na 'hey this girl is whom I love . Na-build naman ang friendship namin througout this movie kasi we had a kissing scene " Jerico also shared to us that he did all the minor and major stunts in this movie. 'Atta boy!!! 


Jerico and Sanya 


Jerico Estregan showed his super fit body during "Amalanhig" presscon. It was surely worth every sweat he shed and effort he made. 

The newest millennial action star, Jerico Estregan who is also Jorge Antonio Genaro J. Ejercito in real life belongs to the very iconic showbiz clan. He was the third son of action star in the 80's and former Laguna governor E.R. Ejercito (Jeorge Estregan) and Pagsanjan, Laguna Mayor and former actress Girlie Maita Ejercito. Jerico is also the grandson of the multi-awarded movie actor, the late George Estregan and Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada. 

He has appeared in several films like his dad's film, "General Emilio Aguinaldo," "Asiong Salonga,"  where he played the young Asiong , also in "Muslim Magnum 357," "Across the Crescent Moon," and "Mandirigma." We should also take note that Jerico has still two upcoming action films entitled "Ben Tumbling Robinhood ng Malabon" and "Pancho Villa" where he plays the legendary Filipino boxer. 

During our interview, he was proud to say that, his family wanted to consistently produce quality movies for the moviegoers to see and to give jobs to the people not only from the main scene but to the people behind the camera.

As of now, he is taking his Masteral Degree in Communications Major in Applied Mass Media in De La Salle University Manila and is currently Nike's ambassador. Apart from his numerous awards and recognitions, Jerico remains grounded. The 25 year old actor is very well-rounded and is very active in sports and other physical activities such as athletics/ track and field, mixed martial arts (MMA), Parkour, gymnastics, and Arnis de Mano. He is also knowledgeable in Microsoft programs, photo & video editing and is currently active in media production communication, hosting, acting, dancing and sports coaching. 


Jerico poses with his very supportive dad, E.R. Ejercito during the presscon 

Just a brief plot of "Amalanhig The Vampire Chronicle:" 

Jerico and Sanya both belong to the graduating medical students who found a mysterious unfinished letter with blood stains and infos about human vampirism virus. Finding this, their group proceeded with their research. They went to a San Esteban, one of the barangays of the remote municipality called Pilar. The letter by the way came from the Chief of Police of that place. 

Their search started on Maundy Thursday during the Holy Week, their main mission is to interview a cult leader and faith healer known as Amang Kulas. In the event of their quest, the group still decided to pursue their mission despite the warning of Amang Kulas. Incidentally, the following day, which is Good Friday, a lunar eclipse will take place, blood moon or Hunter's moon on a Good Friday is a bad omen for the people of Pilar. An impending doom and danger for the group who are also strangers to the place awaits. They had even suspected Amang Kulas as the "Amalanhig." 

With this plot, you would now imagine how terrifying and horrible the scenes would be! A mixture of zombie and vampire in the middle of nowhere?! My gosh! No way! I wouldn't risk my life. But these millennials were so brave, risk-taker and adventurous. I really wanna find out how would they face the real struggle that they have to experience. 

So if you're a fan of zombies and vamoires and action/ horror/ thriller films, this one's for you! 

Brought to us by Viva Films and VicVal BlueShowing Sapphire Productions, this movie is showing on September 20, 2017 in cinemas nationwide! 

See you there!!! 


Me and my blogger/friends with Jerico Estregan and his dad, Mr. ER Ejercito during "Amalanhig" presscon

Discover the World-class Taste of Two Well-Loved Filipino Brands

Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach for Goya 


While most Filipinos know Goya to be a brand that they grew up with, little is known about the struggles that the brand had gone through. From the time that it was established to produce confectionary and coffee in 1956, it had gone through five decades of tumultuous ownership changes that left the brand a little worse for wear. None of the entrepreneurial families nor the foreign and local investors that took ownership of the brand would give it the direction it needed to make a mark in the local chocolate industry.

It wasn’t until Goya was acquired by Delfi in 2006 (then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petrafoods, and one of the top global players in the cocoa industry), that it began to find its rightful place in the Philippine chocolate market. With a chocolate expert like Delfi at the helm, Goya went on its long but steady journey of reinvention and innovation while maintaining its equity as a Filipino heritage brand.



 While more popularly known for its bite-size chocolates, Goya would have to compete in the bars category if it was to be considered a serious contender in the minds and hearts of chocolate lovers and connoisseurs. Beyond the challenge of venturing into a new format, is the more daunting task of havibng to compete within a category long-dominated by well-established, imported giants. Despite these odds, Goya was determined to be the best chocolate in its class.

With Delfi’s focus on innovation, Goya was able to come up with a high quality chocolate bar that suited the taste of the Filipino chocolate lover: Goya Dark Chocolate. Taking the sweetness of the good old chocolate that Filipinos love and rounding it off with the right amount of bitterness, Goya defined for Filipinos what good chocolate should taste like. It is with that distinct taste that Goya Dark Chocolate would dominate the moulded non-bitesize category, besting even popular foreign brands to make it the No. 1 chocolate bar in the country and making it a truly World-Class brand.



To further solidify its place among confectionary brands, Delfi beefed up the Goya range, expanding the portfolio beyond bars to include chocolate coated dragess, enrobed chocolates, novelty chocolates, and even other segments such as biscuits, wafers, spreads, ready-to-drink beverages, and culinary chocolates. To-date, Goya has over a hundred SKUs to offer each and every Filipino – all home-grown, all world-class.

As Goya sets its sights on bigger conquests, it sought a personality who can embody what it stands for as a brand – a world-class Filipino icon who has withstood adversity and persevered to emerge triumphant. Goya found its personification in none other than Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach.

But more than the similar paths of these two Filipino icons, Pia’s love for Goya despite having tasted the best chocolates in the world – the Universe rather – is further testament that Goya truly is world-class.

Show your love to them, celebrate "Grandparents' Day" at SM Supermalls

Celebrate Grandparents' Day at 63 SM Supermalls nationwide! 

We always look forward to celebrating "Grandparents' Day" every second Sunday of September right?! Aside from celebrating Mother's Day in May and Father's Day in June, this celebration of love and appreciation must not be overlooked or taken for granted at all. They were mainly the reason why we are all here... the root of our family. 

Just recently, we were able to attend the media launch of #DateWithLoloAndLolaAtSM held at Mall of Asia Arena Annex (MAAX). Present during the launch were celebrity lolas Miss Angelie Pangilinan and Miss Jackielou Blanco, together with Mr. TJ Cuenca, SM Supermalls AVP for Marketing and Mr. Danny Chavez, Program Director for SM Cares Committee on Senior Citizens. 


Celebrity grandparents present during the media launch were Miss Angelie Pangilinan and Miss Jackielou Blanco, together with Mr. TJ Cuenca, SM Supermalls AVP for Marketing and Mr. Danny Chavez, Program Director for SM Cares Committee on Senior Citizens.  




The two beautiful and happy lolas went to talk about how they had discovered that they are goin' to be first time grandmoms. It was so refreshing to see these two fab lolas telling stories about their apos (grandkids). For me, I still couldn't believe that they are already in that status. 

During the launch, SM Supermalls was very generous in raffling off SM GCs and yours truly was also fortunate to bag the grand prize which was a 24" LG Led TV!!! My utmost gratitude goes to the Lord for this brand new blessing and of course to SM Supermalls! It was a belated birthday gift for me! XOXO 


This is me!!! Yey! To God be the glory!!! 

I would like to share you amazing peeps this picture with my Loli (Lola/ grandma) from my mother side. She was the only living proof of our family's roots. My Loli Luding is so precious to me, I only wanted her to be happy and comfortable always. Whenever we have free time, we see to it that we make quality bonding that we can forever cherish. I love her so dearly and I do believe that we should render full respect and understanding to all elderlies, relative or not because someday we are all going to be like them too, right?!

My Loli, me and my son Jigo. This was taken just recently at SM Mall of Asia during my pre-birthday celebration. 

My son Jigo, was so fortunate that he was able to be with his great grandmother. With this alone, is a great blessing itself and another reason to celebrate. 

Me and my Loli 


 To my Loli, happy happy Grandparents' Day! I love you very much more than you'll ever know.
