MUSIC LYF: Sarah Geronimo - Pure OPM Classics (Album and Listening Session)

It has been a long time since we heard Sarah Geronimo launching a new album despite an unceasing career in showbiz. With a lot of endorsements that prove her status as a trustworthy brand representative, plus also having a lot of concerts, movies and even her own show for herself. Indeed Sarah is a gem for Viva who handled her since her first year in showbiz.

It was great for us to visit Viva Records and their studio to see where the musical magic happens and for which many musical legends had graced and sung to record their timeless classics. Of course, the hottest artist on their line is Sarah Geronimo who also holds a lot of records and even a great following online. She actually holds the record for the longest trending topic in the Philippines which reached worldwide also. 

She is now on a roll again with a great album to be released this november under Viva records, PURE OPM CLASSICS. We will soon post a  listening room album review soon!

REEL DEAL: Hitchcock TRAILER

MASTER OF SUSPENSE IN LOVE IN “HITCHCOCK” TEASER TRAILER

In the world of Alfred Hitchcock’s movies, chaos, danger and sinister evil hide in the shadows of his characters’ ordinary lives.  But what about Hitchcock’s own everyday life?  The consummately skilled director carefully cultivated a public persona – constructed out of his portly silhouette and macabre wit – that managed to keep his inner psyche tightly under wraps. But for decades the question has lingered:  might there be a way to get inside Hitchcock not as an icon but as a person?

Now, for the first time, filmmaker Sacha Gervasi’s “HITCHCOCK” lays bare a captivating and complex love story.  It does so through the sly, shadowy lens of their most daring filmmaking adventure:  the making of the spine-tingling 1960 thriller, “Psycho,” which would become the director’s most controversial and legendary film.  When the tumultuous, against-the-odds production was over, nothing about movies would ever be the same – but few realized that it took two to pull it off.

MUSIC LYF: Moonstar 88

COMPLETE YOUR YEAR WITH THE ULTIMATE 2012 SOUNDTRACK! 

GRAB A COPY OF MOONSTAR88’S LATEST ALBUM “THIS YEAR”

After the success of their studio albums and chart-topping hits like “Torete”, “Sulat”, and “Migraine”, Moonstar88, composed of vocalist/guitarist May Chelle Baay, guitarist Herbert Hernandez, bassist Paolo Bernaldo and drummer Bon Sundlang, rises to new heights with the release of their newest album “This Year”.

With the band members having successful careers outside their work as musicians, this album is a certain proof of hardwork and dedication. “I guess may magic din kasi yung pagiging Moonstar88 namin, [yun] yung pinaka-escape namin sa personal and work stuff, doon namin nabuhos lahat ng emotions sa pagsusulat ng kanta and pagtugtog,” Moonstar88 reveals. It took them two and a half years to finish the album, from pre-production, demo and playing the songs live on gigs.

A Christmas Treat From BPI and Globe!

Mobile banking is gaining popularity here in the country due to the need to always be on the go for the busy working Pinoys. And I am one of them, as time is very important and delays and lines causes stress and frustration. And another dilemma that we face is when we run out of prepaid load in our mobile phone, which is a nightmare especially when you are far from loading stations. 

And with Christmas season just a few week...well days from now, would it be nice to spend more time with family and friends rather than be in long queues. But Bank of the Philippine Islands and Globe Telecom has a new treat for account holders that definitely make the Holidays easier and also rewarding! We also heard that they have more up in store in the coming days involving the use of mobile technologies! 

GUYS MANUAL: Pogi Points By Stanley Chi

Stanley Chi, the genius behind the bestselling Suplado Tips series (read: over PhP2M worth of books sold in just one year) goes out of his comfort zone to write a “not-so-gentleman’s guide to looking good”, as the cover of his newest book, Pogi Points, announces brazenly.

Chi is out to prove he’s not a one-hit wonder after his first humor book, Suplado Tips, underwent reprinting five times in a year. The follow-up Suplado Tips 2 fared just as well, if not better, establishing Chi’s reputation as a legit writer who can sell books to people who don’t normally love reading.

Pogi Points is a collection of tips on how to get ahead in love through strategic behavior. It teaches the naïve boy how to act around his object of admiration (or obsession, whichever applies).
