O’sonho Portuguese Fusion: Iced Lemon Tea, Latte and More

Posted: June 22nd, 2010 | No Comments »

Almost hidden from the crowd at the New Eastwood Mall is this dining place called O’sonho. It’s a Portuguese Fusion restaurant and not Japanese, as many often think because of its name. O’sonho (pronounced as “osonyo”) means dream in Portuguese and the owner, Anton Nik Brancik, says he named it so because it was always […]

Forever Flawless and Beauty & Butter’s Videoke Night with Bloggers

Posted: June 21st, 2010 | No Comments »

Two weeks ago, I was invited together with a few bloggers at the Videoke Night hosted by Forever Flawless & Beauty and Butter at Redbox Greenbelt 3. Some of the celebrities spotted during that fateful Thursday night include Lorna Tolentino, DJ Mojo, Hayden Kho Jr. and the newest all-female girl group Pop Girls.

Beauty & Butter's Pop Girls singing 'Crazy Crazy'

That night was full of fun and laughter. The Pop Girls were really cute and reminded me much of my high school years (I wanted to be a part of a girl group way back… aw!).

Forever Flawless' main endorser Lorna Tolentino

We were all quiet when Lorna Tolentino suddenly went inside the room. It is my third time to see LT in person, but I am still shy to approach her

Rockstar Fritz and DJ Mojo singing 'Endless Love'

DJ Mojo was ‘happy and gay’ all throughout the night. His Endless Love duet […]

A Father’s Day Story

Posted: June 19th, 2010 | No Comments »

‘Ikaw ang pinakawalang-kwentang ama sa buong mundo. Wala kang silbi! Ang malas-malas ko na sa dami ng taong pwede kong maging ama, ikaw pa! Sana iba na lang ang naging tatay ko. Sana ‘yung mas responsable at mas matino. Hindi katulad mo na kung umasta akala mo kung sinong binata. Para ipaalala ko sa’yo, may anak ka nang dalaga at may bunso kang may espesiyal napangangailangan. Gabi-gabi ko na lang ipinagdarasal na sana tumino ka, pero ano ang ginagawa mo? Suko na ako sa’yo. Kung makahanap lang ako ng paraan, aalis talaga ako sa bahay na ito. Ayoko na sa’yo! Ayan, maligayang araw ng mga ama sa’yo. Sana nagustuhan mo ‘tong liham ko ng hinanakit. Sana naman tumalab ito para gumana ‘yang konsensya mo’

Isinulat ‘yan ng galit na galit na si Emma, labingdalawang taong gulang habang lumuluha. May nalaman kasi siyang hindi kanais-nais na balita tungkol sa kalokohang ginawa ng […]

On Princess Velasco’s ‘You Still Have My Heart’ Music Video

Posted: June 18th, 2010 | No Comments »

Micamyx is currently watching Myx. I am busy updating some of my blogs when all of a sudden, VJ Nikki introduced Princess Velasco’s ‘You Still Have My Heart’ in Myx’s Pinoy Countdown.

I bought a copy of Princess’ sophomore album last February as a pre-valentine gift for myself. Her first single is her very own acoustic version of Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’. Her version is obviously a more soothing one, but I didn’t like the music video that much. She has a number of good revivals in the second album and finally, she recorded one original song. The title of the track is ‘You Still Have My Heart’, which was written by Davey Langit of Pinoy Dream Academy Season One. I fell in love instantly when I first heard the song. I even used it in one of my Project 52 Weeks entry I am so happy to know […]

My PBB Teen Clash of 2010 Big Winner is Ivan Dorschner

Posted: June 16th, 2010 | No Comments »

Pinoy Big Brother fanatics all over the world are excited for the upcoming big night of the PBB Teen Clash of 2010. As a fan of Pinoy Big Brother since it started, I can say that for the teen edition, the viewers are not only searching for a certain role model for the youth. They’re also looking for someone whom they wish to see on the teleseryes and movies soon. Take for example its past winners like Kim Chiu and Ejay Falcon.

As someone who works for a magbloid, I am tasked to sort out pictures sent to us by in-house and contributing photographers. I remember that during the grand launch of PBB Teen Clash of 2010, the one and only housemate that really caught my attention is Ivan Dorschner (Ivan Dorsner). I was able to catch the video of Ivan’s entrance in the PBB house and my, he does remind […]

Film Showing + Pasta Buffet + Doughnut Overload on The 12th of June

Posted: June 14th, 2010 | No Comments »

June 12 is the official Independence Day of the Philippines. It is considered as an important holiday for the Filipinos because it is the day wherein our ancestors finally had their freedom from the Spaniards. It also happened to be an important day for my second short film called The 12th of June. It has nothing to do with the history of the Philippine Independence, but errr… I consider it as a special day since it also falls on a Saturday this year.

Watching The 12th of June on the 12th of June, 2010

I first had my film showing at Mam Bebs in Davao City last year with the help of Avatar Media and had another one at Tomato Bomb. Some of my blogger friends were able to see Kuya Bunso and Positive. However, more friends were asking when I’ll be having the next screening. Since I wanted to host one […]
