CONTEST ALERT! Share Your DiscOVIries: Travel Destinations
I would like to thank everyone who sent their photos and recommendations to the first week of my Nokia OVI contest! The photos you’ve sent are mouth-watering and thinking of whom to pick for the shortlist made me really hungry 
The theme for this week will best suit our lakwatseros and lakwatseras like me. Mind to share your Must-visit travel destinations? Whether that is located somewhere in Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao, it doesn’t matter. I am looking for something that is something the Philippines will be proud of.

Here’s a sample entry for Week 2:
Plantation Bay Resort and Spa was hailed as one of the Top 100 Resorts in the World by Conde Nast Traveler and one of the Top 10 Family-Friendly Resorts in Asia by Asia Spa Magazine. I went to the place for a quick tour last January and now I know why this place is very much recognized around the world. I would love to go back! It is located at Mactan, Cebu.

On The Red Shoes, Shabu-Shabu and Donuts
Thank God It’s Friday! Aside from I have no work on Fridays, it is also the day wherein I am able to meet-up with some of my friends or have some ‘me’ time. Last Friday was extra special because of the following reasons: 1.) I am one of the first to see Unitel Pictures’ The Red Shoes 2.) Late Gloria Maris Shabu-Shabu Dinner 3.) Project52Weeks completion at Krispy Kreme.
Nuffnang Bloggers at the Frontrow
Nuffnang Philippines gave me an exclusive pass to the Media screening of Unitel Pictures’ The Red Shoes. If you are a regular reader of my blog, most probably you’ve seen the advertisement with the faces of Marvin Agustin and Nikki Gil on it. To be honest, I first find the Marvin-Nikki tandem very dull. Maybe it is because I never really pictured them to be a loveteam in a movie or tv series or yeah, the Kapuso-Kapamilya thingy too LOL.
So initially, you will only see The Red Shoes in the trailer and movie poster. I thought the movie will focus more on Imelda Marcos’ addiction with shoes (Mas sikat pa nga si Imelda Marcos kaysa sa Pilipinas! – Tessie Tomas, The Red Shoes). If you are a devotee of the 1986 People Power Revolution, i’m sure that you will enjoy this film. But wait, the story doesn’t really revolve there.
Kenyo and Hi-C’s Simulan na Natin – Setting the Sexy Mood Pinoy Style
Let’s face it - In the Philippines, only a few OPM artists were able to record a song that can set a very sexy move. Some tried, but most of them failed.
Just last weekend, I stumbled upon the newest music video of Kenyo featuring Hi-C. It is the first time that I heard of their newest song entitled ‘Simulan na Natin’. The video is undeniably sexy and I bet the fans of Hi-C envy MCoy while watching it. As a fan of Orange and Lemons (Hanggang Kailan, Heaven Knows, Magkayakap sa Dilim) and Dice & K9 (Itsumo, Shake, Bestfriends, Rendevouz), I am glad to know that MCoy Fundales and Hi-C collaborated for this wonderful project. The music video was tastefully done and the song can simply make anyone feel sexy ones they hear it
Casting Call: Male Lead Actors Needed for an Indie Film
HUBO Productions, the team behind the indie films such as ‘Compound’ and ‘Sa Pagdapo ng Mariposa’, is set to do another indie film. This time,they are collaborating with Trinity Hearts Media for the movie In Nomine Matris. The said film will be directed by Will Fredo.
The storyline has something to do with drama, romance and dancing! I’m pretty interested with the project since I found out that a dance choreographer from Spain will train the actors and dancers that will make it on the film.
The team behind this wonderful project is still scouting for potential lead actors. Please refer to the requirements below:
