Many thanks to friends from Oppo, I was able to see Finally Found Someone, the 4th movie of John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo ahead of everybody else.

Aside from that, selected fans who have pre-ordered the unit have also been given the chance to grace the opening night, to experience the OPPO F3 Sarah Geronimo Limited Edition unit before the movie began.

Actor Ian Veneracion Finds A New Love . . . In Ascof Lagundi

At age 42, gentleman actor and reluctant heartthrob Ian Veneracion appears to be a star whose time has come. Although he started acting at the age of 5, Veneracion’s career took a long, circuitous route to leading man status, something he finally achieved when he was cast as a swoon-worthy hero in hit TV soaps.

Today he seems unstoppable, his career trajectory leading him to a place that much younger and more aggressive actors have yet to reach.
Ironically, it is from this enviable place that Veneracion now seeks balance even as he appreciates the perks of stardom. He has kept the debonair good looks that make fans—age 18 to 80—swoon, yes, but the Gen X actor now finds fulfillment in matters that are more constant and stable, and less transitory.

Hizon's Catering Will Make Your Dream Events Come True

Don't get me wrong. I'm happy with my MARRIAGE now but not with the WEDDING then.
I thought it was a nightmare. I can barely look at the photos taken at the reception because none of the guests were smiling. Picture a horror movie setting.

It was in 2004 when I walked down the aisle, right after college. We had a traditional, Catholic wedding attended by only 50 guests. But I'm still wishing it happened in this era where you can easily get ideas on event planning right off the internet. I would definitely include those chalkboard signages and mason jars I often see in Pinterest if ever I get the chance again.

I didn't hire the services of a wedding organizer since it was not really the thing in the past. Or so I thought.

Diana Stalder Celebrates 3 Years. Introduced New Luxury Facial Treatments.

Yes, motherhood may be a big transition and the best thing to a woman's life but sadly, you tend to lose and forget yourself when motherhood happened. Just as I did a few years back.
While I was flooding my family with the love they need, I've seemed to have forgotten that my needs were just as important as their needs, too.
Overwhelming motherhood duties made my face extremely itchy and tiny red bumps have started to appear. Apparently, having a period was not the only thing that causing these unwanted breakouts.
That's the time I realized I needed to start taking care of myself again. You need to shell out extra for this but totally worth the money if it can redeem happiness.
Although I had anxieties about other people touching my face, not to mention the overall painful procedure( which I already assumed but not confirmed), I still searched high and low for that perfect facial center for my poor skin.

I had heard so much about Diana Stalder way back in college. I remember about celebrities promoting the brand as well. So with my spare time, I decided to just go and give the face the care it needed.
My very first trip to their clinic was just 4 months ago and what can I say, I loved every minute of it. There was a bit of a sting at first but still loved it.

Just recently, Diana Stalder Face, Body, Skin Care and Beauty Cafe has celebrated their 3rd anniversary held at dS Gateway,

Why It's Better To Run With A Buddy | Robinsons Supermarket's 10th Fit and Fun

Running was really not my thing. I'd rather catch up on my reading or watch my favorite Kdramas on a rainy weekend morning. But after becoming a parent, my outlook did a 360 degree turn. Goal now is to be fit and healthy, with a bit of running on the side. I didn't say I would give up on Kdramas though.
Since my dad had a stroke before the age of 50, I've decided to improve my health status and not follow on his footsteps. But I've felt my own body weight's increasing recently because of my diet, I thought there's something that really needs to be done.

Discover Boracay | A Journey To The Paradise On Earth

Mother Earth indeed has so much to show and I still have so much to see. They say, for a healthier being, one must travel. Certainly, euphoria came about when we set foot on this island paradise not so long ago. Didn't just experience the best tour, but I also got to be part of a new and fun circle.
Going to new places will definitely bring out the best in you. I may have waited until I was in my mid 30s for this trip to paradise, regrets happen, but finally found the courage and went for it.
This is the second part of my http://www.ericayub.com/2017/06/experience-azalea-boracay-your-holiday.html , our Boracay Island journey courtesy of Azalea Boracay and their travel concierge that led us to breathtaking corners of the island, amazing food houses, and all sorts of things I’d swear you'll never find on any brochure.

3rd SM Cherry Mall Opens In Antipolo

Hello Kuya J's. Hello Japan Home Center. I'll wave to the new SkyGarden, too. When did this area become so cool?

Movies for JULY 2017 :)

One moment we were heading for a fun day at the beach then preparing for the midterms the next. Boom! It's July, people! Meaning, we're already halfway through the year. Time indeed is like a wind, gone in a few, without any warning.
In this particular moment, I'm in full swing preparation mode for our "big move" and still was not able to work my agenda to have a full day off or even half of one with the kiddos. But I will try my best to catch up on things, on movies most specially. I have failed to take my 3 and see Despicable Me 3 on the big screen the past month, so on top of priority list this July will be the third installment in the CARS franchise. We're also looking forward to see Spiderman : Homecoming since the stealing of Captain America's shield in Captain America: Civil War.
Although there's love-hate for me when going to cinemas, you know, way too pricey and all that, not to mention "other people" being rude and disruptive, happiness finds me when I'm watching with my 3. You should, too!
So, here you go, the list of movies for the month of July. Do not forget to put the CineLokal Films -those independent, award-winning films - on your priority list. Tangkilikin ang sariling atin.
Enjoy!
