Meeting the Puzzle Queen at the Puzzle Mansion

Puzzles may not be the in thing in this generation with the emergence of electronics and gaming. Some may find them more like kids' play or not challenging to many, but how many of us can even assemble a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle? How about 3000, 5000, or 32000?

Puzzling as it may seems but jigsaw puzzles is now an art and this is proven by a proud Filipina who now holds the Guinness world record for the largest collection of jigsaw puzzles which was awarded last 2012, Mrs. Gina Gil-Lacuna.  Her passion for this kind of hobby started 27 years ago and has made 1028 puzzle collection (as per record with Guinness and still adding up new ones). This one of a kind collection is not exclusive with the regular jigsaw puzzles but a whole lot more.

MUSIC LYF: John Rendez Returns to Rap Recording

With a lot of new rap stars now, its hard to find the artists who started with the "old school" style which paved the careers of rappers like Francis Magalona. But through the years, these rappers either shifted to a different genre or migrated to a different county which made the rap scene a little obscure and branched far from its roots.

Now a returning artist, John Rendez came back to launch his new album under Polyeast Records with the album "Metaldog". Not to be confused with Pitbull or Fliptop artists, John Rendez wants to be known in the music industry with that title with his rap which brings the sound style of the 90s and upgrades that can grab the attention of the present generation.

He might be on the same age range of he popular rap artists, he is very confident that his style stands out among the hiphop artists now. With his first album relased back in the 90s, he still have what it takes to make good tracks that can get the attention of the new rap generation.

REEL DEAL: Iliw SPOTLIGHT

Iliw is a full-length narrative feature inspired by true stories of Japanese-Filipino-American War in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Philippines from 1941-1945.  Since World War II, Japanese people have been misunderstood.  They have always been pictured, described, defined, and judged as the ultimate enemy in the horrors of war. 

As cinema is a very powerful medium for transformation, the film is written in such a way that it will be a very potent tool for education/re-education and re-orientation of the collective mind of all the Filipinos in the Philippines and all over the world.  In this case, the film redefines the social connection of Japan and the Philippines and manifests the social, spiritual, and cultural intricacies and diversities that help shaped the Japanese war period in the Philippines specifically in Ilocos Sur.

Iliw takes advantage of the technology, it uses High Definition camera with an adapter PS Teknik so one can make use of  varied film lenses to achieve the 35mm film look,  thus making Iliw a 35mm Digital High Def-- a filmless film, indeed.

Comedy Night at Solaire!

It has been more than a month since Solaire Hotel and Casino opened to the public as another entertainment, gaming, and leisure destination in the Philippines. And with a growing economy, tourism, and infrasturctures in the country, people do want to experience fun and excitement in their (and our) lives.

Solaire recently had a Comedy Night held in one of suites of Solaire which have great sunset view of Manila Bay in the afternoon and going into the golden sunset. I actually wanted to go to Solaire just to see this scene unfold before my eyes. And like the majestic sunset, the hotel and casino is indeed one of a kind in the world.
