MEETING LILIA CUNTAPAY

Im a 90's baby and being a 90's baby will not be complete without seeing a single Shake Rattle and Roll movie of Regal films.

And when you say Pinoy horror movies, one face always stands amongst the cast of the movie...that is no other than Lilia Cuntapay.

One day, I got the chance to pose a picture with her.

GOD IS GOOD!

One of the benefits of being an employee is having a healthcard and the priviledge to have one member of your family as an extension to it.

In my case I got my Papa and Mama their own.

My Mama went to this private clinic in Tayug, Pangasinan and had her CBC and ECG. The doctor told my mother that her heartbeat is just around 40 plus per minute which is kinda low compared to the normal hear rate of a person. She was advised to undergo echocardiogram to further determine if there is some major problems. A 24-hour holter was also suggested to monitor her heartbeat.

I asked my mother to go home here in our house in Bulacan.

We went to The Manila Doctors Hospital for a second opinion.

The next day, we went back to the hospital and have the 24 hour holter attached to her.

After three days, I was relieved to see the results.

Indeed, God is good, all the time!

INZATIABLE MEETS MARIO MAURER

I've been a fan of Thai Heartthrob Mario Maurer eversince he starred in the movie The Love of Siam.

Even before ABSCBN showed the tagalized version of his teen flick movie Crazy Little Thing Called Love, I've already seen it a couple of times.

I've also seen some of his horror movies like Buppha Rathree.

Yes, I'm a avid fan of Mario Maurer like super!

I was surprised when I found out that Mario Maurer will do a movie co-starring Filipina Actress Erich Gonzales. The movie is entitled Suddenly It's Magic that revolves around a Thai celebrity who fell in love with a girl who's living a simple life far beyond from his.

Last Monday, during the one on one interview arranged by Star Cinema, my dream finally came true, to meet and have a picture with Mario Maurer.

When Mario Maurer entered the studio, he warmly greeted all of us with "HELLO PO" then he was escorted to the couch where the interview proper will take place.

MARIO MAURER GETTING READY FOR THE INTERVIEW

I was starstrucked! Words won't come out of my mouth. I couldn't believe that Mario Maurer is just in from of me.

After the interview, I got the opportunity to have a picture with him.

ME WITH MARIO MAURER

That moment was remarkable, truly memorable!

Mario Maurer, till we meet again!

Khob Kun Ka!

FIRST KISS: A ROMANTIC COMEDY THAI MOVIE

You know for a fact that I'm such a fan of Thai movies most especially the horror flicks...last night I watched First Kiss, a romantic comedy Thai film produced by Five Star Production, starring Kaneungnich Jacksamithanon and Pichasini Tanwiboon.

The story is about a higschool boy who fell in love with a 26 year old lady whom he met on a bus who is in search for love and looking forward for her first kiss.

BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME

Last night, as agreed...JB and I met in Glorietta.

He was late for like 20 minutes but that's ok.

First agenda, dinner. He said that he wanted to have rice and insisted to dine at Max's so I gave in. When we got there, he ordered this sizzling tofu which is a must try for less than P200.00. I'm not in the mood to eat chicken nor have rice that night so I ordered pancit canton. Aside from the sizzling tofu, he ordered Max's Tapa for himself.

Personally, I felt no connection when we met and when we started conversing which is so ironic when we chat in Yahoo Messenger or exchange text messages over the phone. And I wonder why.

After dinner, we headed to UCC Cafe for coffee.

As I sipped my Cafe Latte and smoked my cigarette, we talk again...and again, there was no connection.

While I was listening and looking at him, I thought that he's not that bad looking at all. I mean, I'm ok with his physical appearance. He stands probably about 5'7, kinda chubby, skinhead, moreno but there is something about him during our meet up that makes me not to like him.

So to save me time, I told him that I need to go home early and have to catch the last MRT ride and that I need to wake up really early in the morning for the live airing of Salamat Dok.

We parted ways at the foot of MRT Ayala's escalator.

As I head home, I kept telling myself that there goes my happy ending and better luck next time.

2012 COSMO BACHELOR BASH: VIDEO EDITION

As promised, below are just some of the videos I have of the recent Cosmo Bachelor Bash Last September.

This is just the first batch.

Enjoy!!!

MEETING MS. CYNTHIA VILLAR

She's the wife of Senator Manny Villar, the mother of Camille, Mark and another son whom I don't know the name...she's the lady in the infomercial of the Villar Foundation, no other than Ms. Cynthia Villar.

Mrs. Villar used to be a Congresswoman in Las Piñas and now she's targetting the Senate.

We (my team and I) arrived at the Villar's residence in Las Piñas around 10am.

Mrs. Villar welcomed us with her simple red dress together with her husband, Sen. Manny Villar and son who's now the present Congressman of Las Piñas, Mark.

The Villar's were accommodationg. After the interview, they invited our team to have lunch with them.

SMILING...

You may have notice (if you are one my followers) that I've been posting some mushy, corny tweets over the past week...well sorry about that. The reason is because I'm smiling and kinikilig.

Last Tuesday, a guy from an online dating site for gays sent me an private message on Yahoo Messenger. The conversation that started with "HI" and "HELLO" went a long way.

I was having second thoughts on naming this guy but I guess I owe it all you. His name is JB, short for Jay Brian, a certified nurse but currently works in the BPO industry. He's 34 years old and living in Laguna.

So far, so good.

As of now, I'm full of hope and that's enough reason for me to smile.

LEA AND JEFF'S CIVIL WEDDING

Yes, another good friend of mine got married. It's no other than Lea who said yes to Jeff, a 26 year old guy whom she met when she worked in Macau last year.

JEFF AND LEA

PHOTO INCLUDING THE ONE ABOVE WAS TAKEN FROM LEA'S FACEBOOK ACCOUNT

As far as I know, Jeff is a resident of Macau and they met at work. Love really moves in mysterious ways.

Last Sunday September 30, the two got married through a civil wedding ceremony witnessed by the couple's families and close friends at Cherubin Gardens in Meycauayan, Bulacan around 10am.

Of course, Zelda, Mael, their son Iver, Dai and Cholo, Carol and me were there.

LEA'S BRIDAL SHOWER

Another friend of mine will soon walk down the aisle to be Mrs. Jimenez. So what we did is give her a simple yet memorable bridal shower.

The shower took place at Holiday Inn last September 22 around 5pm. Zelda, Lea's bestfriend was the one responsible for contacting all of Lea's friends and colleagues, apparently only few made it.

The venue and the gift certificates given as prizes were courtesy of Edenne. She also acted as one of the host together with yourstruly.

We prepared a little tiarra for Lea for the royal treatment, hehehe.

For the food, we had pizza from Yellow Cab, some biscuits as pica-pica and cupcakes with some cute and naughty designs for dessert.

We played our version of Pinoy Henyo.
