A Glimpse of Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club in Morong, Bataan

I’ve seen the photographs and read the write-ups about Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club in a number of websites and magazines. Little did I know that I’ll be able to stay there overnight with a number of travel blogger friends.

Sleeping at Anvaya Cove

Last Friday, we were invited by GMCI and Ayala Land to visit Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club, which is located at Morong, Bataan. There’s a lot of good words to say about the place and surely, nature lovers must include it in their must-visit places soon.

For now, I’ll be giving some keywords and photos describing my overnight stay at Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club. Enjoy!

ALCUTRAZ Hair Studio Grand Opening Night with Tanya Garcia

Just a little trivia: I enhanced my web designing skills (through mano-manong HTML coding via notepad) way back in high school. I ended experimenting and getting traffic by making fansites for celebrities such as Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham, Ellie Campbell (does the name ring a bell?), Cogie Domingo, Jade Lopez and many, many more.

Alcutraz_Tanya_Garcia_Launch1

The first local celebrity who noticed my efforts is Tanya Garcia, who was then playing the role of Cecilia in the teleserye Sana Ay Ikaw Na Nga opposite Dingdong Dantes. At first, her cousin e-mailed me then her mom followed. Later on her elder sister Denise was texting me until I received a call from Tanya herself during my 16th birthday. Our communication never really stopped since then 😛

I know that Ate Tankee wants to have her own hair salon business and we even talked about it last year. I smiled when I received a text from her inviting me to her first salon venture here in Manila. She is now the proud owner of ALCUTRAZ Hair Studio located at Metrowalk, Ortigas. In addition, if you’re looking for a dreadlock product, consider using this dreadlock soap, which is perfect for all types of hair.

Ang Pagbabago sa TV5: Para Sa’yo, KAPATID!

Kanina ko pa sinusubukang gumawa ng napakagandang artikulo rito sa aking blog tungkol sa pagbabagong naganap sa TV5 noong nakaraang Marso 25, 2010 sa World Trade Center, pero tila nahihirapan talaga ako sa hindi ko mawaring dahilan kaya akin na lang itong isusulat sa Wikang mas kaya kong magkwento ng buong puso at walang pag-aalinlangan.

TV5_Grand_Launch_Kapatid122

Masaya ako na nakadalo ako noong nakaraang Huwebes sa World Trade Center para sa napaka-engrandeng pagtitipon na inihanda ng mga taong bumubuo sa mas palaban at mas maliksing TV5. Hindi na sila ka-Shake ngayon, kundi mga Kapatid na. Ayos, ‘di ba?

Huwag ninyo akong kontrahin kung sabihin kong isa akong malaking tagahanga ng TV5. Kung mabibigyan nga lang ako ng pagkakataon ay nanaisin ko talagang magtrabaho dun at maging opisyal na Kapatid. Nakikita mo kasi na handa silang sumugal para mas lalong umangat ang kanilang kumpanya at mas mapagbigyan ang gusto ng mga masa at sosyalerang manonood.

Sinu-sino ba ang mga naispatan ko noong gabing iyon? Teka, magkukuwento na nga lang ako sa pamamagitan ng sandamakmak na larawang nakunan ko gamit ang aking kamera. Eto na!

Alodia and Ashley Gosiengfiao Cosplay at TV5’s Grand Launch

I am not a Cosplay fanatic, but I learned to appreciate this artistic hobby upon meeting Alodia and Ashley Gosiengfiao in person last October 2009 at the Nuffnang Blog Awards. My friends and I were a bit intimidated with the two lovely sisters because we heard a lot of praises (and criticisms) about them. We are lucky enough because we were able to spend a whole day with them just touring around Singapore Lah!

Cosplay stars Ashley and Alodia Gosiengfiao

Just last night, I saw them again at the backstage of TV5’s Grand Launch. Nice of them to approach me first and call my name! 🙂 It simply means one thing and I bet you guys know that 😛

Though I don’t really blog about cosplays and I never really tried to do anything related to it, I would like to share some of the photos of Alodia and Ashley Gosiengfiao taken during the TV5 Grand Launch. Mocha Girls lead singer Mocha Uson is a bonus too! Hope you guys and girls will like it! 🙂

Nuffnang PH’s Rockeoke Night with Tim and Ming!

Thank God It’s Monday! I was invited by my friends from NuffnangPH to meet Tim and Ming, the young founders of Nuffnang, the leading blog advertising network in Asia! Since most of the Nuffies are Rockeoke regulars at Mag:Net High Street on Mondays (paging Kel, Carlos and Judd!), no wonder they decided to make the first night of Tim and Ming in the Philippines extra special by letting them act like a rockstar even just for a night.

Carlos The Rakista

How do Nuffies do the Rock 'n Roll? Let Carlos teach you lah..

I went there at 10PM (Failed to drink Margarita with them at Agave – Boo!) and as expected, everyone is ready with their song. I will simply present a photostory for you to have an idea on what happened that Nuffy Monday 😛

JC De Vera: The Prince of TV5 is Shaking it!

THE NEWS IS OUT: JC De Vera, a homegrown talent of GMA-7 is now an official TV-5 Talent.

The news is not a big surprise after all. I bet the followers of the actor would agree with me that they would rather see JC signed in another network than keep him as one of the ‘frozen’ artists of the Kapuso station.

JC De Vera - TV5's Newest Prince!

I was invited by Kuya Myk to attend the official solo launch of JC De Vera as the newest ‘ka-shake’. With my friend Ada, we went straight to Mario’s Tomas Morato last Wednesday after my shift at work. I must admit that I am a fan of JC.

CONTEST ALERT! Share Your DiscOVIries: Must-Watch Movies

Do you love watching movies? Well, I’d be more than willing to hear your recommendations as the theme for Week 4 of my Share Your DiscOVIries has something to do with films. I am scouting for the ‘must-watch movies of 2010’.

Here’s a sample entry:

Clash of the Titans at Krispy Kreme

Hello Perseus! Why don't you take a break and drink iced mocha?

I am looking forward to the Philippine release of the movie ‘Clash of the Titans’. The movie is a mythological fantasy clash with Sam Worthington playing the role Perseus. Just saw the trailer awhile ago and I would love to see this film in a 3D mode. I bet it will scare me in some parts! Aside from the fact that this looks like a well-made film, the endorsement of my favorite donut shop is a plus factor 😛

Any movie will do – whether that is comedy, drama, romance, action, sci-fi, indie -anything! Whether that originated in Hollywood, Bollywood or even mainstream and indie films from the Philippines as long as the movie is intended for release this year (2010).

Visita Iglesia for Semana Santa

Holy Week 2010 is fast-approaching! Surely, most of you are going out-of-town with your loved ones though some might just stay at home. Aside from the fact that people tend to consider this as a good break from work, it is also a special week that we dedicate to our Creator.
