Get ahead of the class with McJim’s back-to-school style

As another school year starts, another door full of opportunities opens to help you get closer to your dreams. However, it also means that a year full of cramming and sleepless nights is ahead of you.

If you look at the bright side, it’s also the time to see your old buddies and meet new ones. What’s even better is it’s another full year of preparation for your future career in the real world.

But if you’re still feeling nervous for the year ahead, what better way to crank up more enthusiasm for the serious business of studying than the prospect of wearing your best first-day-in-school look?

#PinoyAndProud This Independence Month With Jollibee

Exciting new things are happening this June at Jollibee! They are unveiling a lot of great news just in time for Independence day! They revealed it in a press event to introduce the grandest Jollibee Independence Day campaign, #PinoyAndProud: Ang Sarap, Ang Saya Maging Pilipino! 

This campaign closely follows two successful Pinoy pride celebrations from Jollibee. 2014’s “Foreignoy” campaign related the stories of foreigners who consider themselves Pinoys at heart, while 2015’s #HappyBdayPilipinas compiled wishes, hopes, and promises of the Filipino citizens.

Let me share you about a new yet limited-time offering they have for Jollibee, the NEW Adobo Flakes Yum! Burger (P59) and the NEW Halo-Halo Sundae (P35)! The langhap-sarap Yum! Burger that’s made with 100% beef is made even more flavorful with real beefy adobo flakes and special adobo sauce, while the well-loved Jollibee Sundae is made more special with favorite Halo-Halo toppings such as nata de coco, macapuno. Both creations have a thumbs up for me! (I do recommend that you would like to spread the adobo flakes away from the center for best taste)

Flores De Mayo Celebrated Fabulously in Ermita-Malate

The  tradition of Santacruzan is one of the highlights of the month of May. And as many of us have their own version of the parade which has become a part of our culture. We can see many of them in town and cities, but it has been taken to another level in the Malate-Ermita district of Manila.

Known to be the top business and tourism part of the city of Manila, and where you can also see famous landmarks such as the Manila Hotel, Rizal Park, Remedios Circle, and Baywalk, we can say it is a business and leisure center. And for the second year, led by EMBOA (Ermita Malate Business Owners Association), they hosted Paseo de Malate - Flores De Ermita.

Tarzan, Jane One with the Apes in "The Legend of Tarzan" Main Poster‏

Tarzan (Alexander Skarsgard) and his wife, Jane (Margot Robbie) join the ranks of the mighty apes in the newly released main one-sheet for “The Legend of Tarzan.” 

From Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures comes the action adventure “The Legend of Tarzan,” starring Alexander Skarsgård (HBO’s “True Blood”) as the legendary character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs. 

The film also stars Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson (the “Captain America” films), Margot Robbie (“The Wolf of Wall Street,” upcoming “Suicide Squad”), Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou (“Gladiator”), with Oscar winner Jim Broadbent (“Iris”), and two-time Oscar winner Christoph Waltz (“Django Unchained”).

It has been years since the man once known as Tarzan (Skarsgård) left the jungles of Africa behind for a gentrified life as John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke, with his beloved wife, Jane (Robbie) at his side.  Now, he has been invited back to the Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament, unaware that he is a pawn in a deadly convergence of greed and revenge, masterminded by the Belgian, Captain Leon Rom (Waltz).  But those behind the murderous plot have no idea what they are about to unleash.

"We're the Millers" Director Back with "Central Intelligence"‏

With the hit comedies “Dodgeball” and “We’re the Millers” to his credit, Rawson Marshall Thurber, director of Universal Pictures' new action comedy “Central Intelligence,” was looking to expand his filmmaking repertoire by incorporating a run of action in his next film.

“I’ve loved action movies my whole life and I’ve been wanting to make one since I was about, oh, eight years old,” Thurber says. “This has been a lot of fun.”

“Rawson really understands tone and timing,” Kevin Hart says. “It’s not just the rhythm of the action, it’s how everything meshes. The segues are seamless, the writing is smart, and there were small moments that we were allowed to make big moments because we had a great cast to work with and Rawson gave us the room to play.”

Director James Wan Terrifies Audiences Again with "The Conjuring 2"‏

This June, writer/director/producer James Wan seeks to terrify moviegoers once again with his depiction of another highly publicized case involving the real-life horrors experienced by paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren with “The Conjuring 2.”
