His new album, "Spread The Love" for him is a way which he can share his music and all originals songs which he mentions is his contribution to OPM. We will have this album soon on Music Lyf Listening Room soon!

For the Love of Dogs and Frencheska Farr

Intimidating. That’s one of the first impressions that you can get from Frencheska Farr. The Kapuso artist is statuesque and gives out high-energy performances that have become her trademark. It’s a relief to know that the reluctance to approach the actress dissovles within a few  minutes of talking to her as you’ll find that she has a bright and happy aura around her. Frencheska was at GMA Network Studios when she tipped us in on her new show, “Binoy Henyo”. “Sinisimulan na namin yung taping. Makakasama ko dito sila Sheena Halili, Luis Alandy, Gwen Zamora, Rich Asuncio at Nova Villa,” she spilled.

Her excitement is doubled because her team in “Sunday All Stars” has emerged as the back-to-back victors in the musical-variety show. Frencheska was quick to point out that Tropang Trending’s Team Leader, Mark Bautista, was to be given most of the credit for the team’s onstage success. “Si Mark talaga ang nag-ayos ng lahat. Ilalatag niya samin yung concept niya tapos he’ll listen to our suggestions. Pero siya talaga ang may final say kung ano ang gagawin namin sa production number.” When asked if she is ready to take over the role of the team leader, the star was humble in her reply. “Hindi ko pa nakikita ang sarili ko as leader kasi si Mark, sobrang galing niya. Hindi rin naman importante sakin ngayon na maging leader agad basta sinisiguro ko na may input ako sa bawat production,” Frencheska said. Her team is now under the helm of Mark Herras and is well under way with their preparations for next Sunday’s show.

Impressing the Ladies Like Sef Cadayona

If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, what then is the route to a lady’s heart? It was just our luck to run into Sef Cadayona while he was taking a break from rehearsals at GMA Network Studios. The actor has his hands full with his shows Bubble Gang, Vampire ang Daddy Ko, Mundo Mo’y Akin and Sunday All Stars but still manages to keep romance alive with his current flame. “Ah madali lang yan,” Sef joked when we asked him for tips on getting the girl. “First, I think that humor goes a long way. I think sa girls you like a guy with a sense of humor kasi if the person you’re dating is putting in the effort to make you laugh, in a way pa-bibo siya sayo diba? Tsaka mahirap yun ah, paano kung fail tapos nagkatitigan lang kayo?”

Max Collins on Making Movies and Music Videos

Beaming as she sat down for a quick chat while taking a break from rehearsals for “SundayAll Stars”, Max Collins looked as fresh as ever. Casting a quick glance at her laid-back charm, you’d never guess that the actress was juggling an independent film, a musical-variety show and acting lessons. “I have too much on my plate right now,” she confessed. “It’s my first time to work on an independent film and I find that the attack is very different. Sa indie film kasi parang you have to be more subtle with your acting unlike sa teleserye na talagang big emotions dapat kung minsan. Siyempre iba rin kasi yung setting namin compared sa studio.”
