Last Valentine’s Day, we watched the movie “Starting Over Again” starring Piolo Pascual as Marco and Toni Gonzaga as Ginny. It was a different kind of love story. It was hilarious and at the same time it was a heart full of emotions. I think most of the people can relate to the story, especially to the people who have an old flame and called it “the-one-who-got-away”.

The movie started when Ginny received an email from a site called LetterLater, it was sent by Marco 4 years ago. So the message was old news from an old flame. It made Ginny a little bit hopeful that Marco still loves her. Then, they received an offer to remodel an old house to become a restaurant. When they saw the client, it was Marco. So the story begins…

The verdict

The storyline was not your typical love story and I like it. Writers here in our country are becoming adventurous and being true to reality. The movie is very relatable, it is close to reality. Please revive the local movie industry. I think enough of copying storyline from other countries, Filipinos want unique and an expected one. I am delightful that our country is producing nice quality movies. I hope we continue doing this. Let us support our own movie industry.

Going back to the movie, I will praise Piolo and Toni for doing such a good job portraying the characters very well. I cried at the scene when Marco (Piolo Pascual) went out of his car, running to Ginny’s house crying and begging not to go to the airport. Damn! Super kawawa.. I pity him. Anyways, It’s been a while since Piolo got a blockbuster movie; I think this is other big step for him to the spotlight. I have nothing to say bad about this movie. It is directed very well by Olivia Lamasan. I want to congratulate them for the success and for earning 150million in four days! Wow!

Watch the trailer here:

Hello, friends! Valentine's Day is so near! Do you have any gift ideas for your special someone? Well, I have one. Why don't you make your own mixtape for your special someone? You know sometimes it is hard to express your feeling towards someone but with the help of songs or music we can express it very well. Right? Because it is twentieth century tapes are not usually used by everyone. So decided to compile it and burn it on a dvd. Hell yeah! Look at the list of my songs. Cheesyballs galore! It is a mixed of old and new songs. 

I gave this last year during our 2nd year anniversary to my hunny my loves so sweet. Hahahaha I don’t have money to buy things kasi. Char! So burn burn na lang ng songs! Whahaha What I mean is, to be unique and to be more special so decided to make an effort to think of the songs and compile it. To make it extra special, I made a collage of our photos together forever ang peg. Then, print print lang pag my ink. hehehe

Are you looking for an action movie to watch? Well, I recommend watching On The Job. This is a movie I never expected for a Filipino action movie. Why? because this is not about saving a girl or a daughter from mafias then they live happily ever after. You know Filipino cliché action movies, very predictable. When it comes to this kind of genre, Filipinos are used to Fernando Poe Jr.’s boxing ability or whoever actor with a machine gun. However, this is different. It has substance and it is really happening in our society. It has a twist that I never expected.

This movie is about crimes happening in our country. They said it is based on a true story. Well, if it is. We have a fucked up society. Rich people are the one controlling the country not the government. It shows the corrupt and the unlawful ways of our government too. It is an eye opener for Filipinos. I congratulate Erik Matti for the success of the movie. It received many recognitions and awards from international film festivals like Cannes Film Festival and a lot more. Hands down to Joel Torre for receiving the Best Actor award for portraying Mario “Tatang” Maghari, he was the professional killer from the juvenile. Moreover, they reported it will have an US adaptation of the movie. I hope they won’t change a lot on the story lines. Joel Torre should be “Tatang” again on the remake. I think no one can be better than him portraying his role. Right? Hehehe

Bride for Rent is a movie about marriage. It is another blockbuster hit from Kim Chiu and Xian Lim. Congratulations to them for portraying the role with justice. I may not be a fan of Kim Chiu but she really made me laugh by playing the role of Rockylita a.k.a Rocky. She is playing a wanna be artist who landed the role of being the Bride of Rocco, played by Xian Lim. On the other hand, Rocco is a tall, handsome but a little brat and bossy guy in the movie. He party party and end up having a huge loan for about 10million, when betting all of the money to the game of poker. To pay up all the loans, he will receive his trust funds from his Lala, played by Pilita Corales, but he needs to be married first. This is why they thought of the idea of hiring an actress to portray as the wife of Rocco and it is Rocky. Yey! Then, the story begins. Watch it!

It is a feel good movie. Instead of movies about mistresses or infidelity, they should show more movies like this one such as true love and marriage. In the real world, only few people believe in love but if people in the movie industry will show that love still exist I think the world will be a better place. Anyways, back to the movie. It is funny with drama on the side. Go Xian Lim for crying and emoting! You are my new celebrity crush next to John Lloyd Cruz. I love your chiseled face! Hihihi Overall, the movie doesn’t have a dull moment. I will rate it 4.5 out of 5 stars! Good Job!

I love wearing dresses especially the dress that can me look stylish and chic. The key to have a simple outfit yet people turn heads because they notice your presence is the right match of accessories and confidence. Take a look of what I found on Modcloth.com, some nice pieces that can make your chic dress into something unique.

Spring/Summer is always the right time to look for the trends, because you know most of the styles are going to be around for a few months. Also, after the dark theme of the fall and winter, the summers make way for fresh colours and designs. If you are looking for Spring/Summer 2014 trends, here’s a list of the top picks.

1. Go metallic: While this is not something you haven’t seen before, metallic looks work because the colours are not staples for the summers and spring. The best thing about the current looks is the choice of patterns, which is not restricted to one colour but moves ahead to many shades and even the rainbow hues. There are skirts, dresses and accessories to choose from.

2. Go mesh style: If you are someone who dares to bare, get a good camisole and top it with a transparent or mesh outfit. The more you explore in the designs, the better, but this is one of the best trendy designs for the upcoming season. Black and white are great choices for that more stylish look, but given the fact that pastels are hot options, you can try them as well.

3. Go pastel with the palette: Floral for spring and summer is something we are always used to, which is why the choice of pastel colour as the spring essential is a good welcome change. Seen at most of the designers, the colours are versatile, starting from the beautiful rose and lavender shades to more cool shades of yellow and blue. Pick the single colours or opt for patterns- the choices are varied as ever.

4. Go the crop style: The Crop Tops are one of the hottest properties for spring this year. Spotted in DKNY Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear Collection among others, the looks are different and stylish by all means. Of course, you need to get in shape for trying the style, but this is totally worth the time you spend at the gym. The black and white combination was something that was seen in most fashion weeks, but if you love the pastel clothes online and on the runways- choose them too!

5. Go white: Just mentioned that black and white have been among the trending colours of the season, but the statement white blouses seemed to be a total hit. Lovely designs and simply cool enough for casual and formal look, this is one look that can be experimented with. While some designers seemed to love the look with embellishments, there were others who styled their models with shirts having necktie detailing. Choose what suits you because the occasion often determines what you wear.

Happy styling for the spring and summer!
