I’ve always loved hosting events and especially kids’ events. I think after being a mom, I loved it more. I was always the “fun” cousin with my younger cousins every holidays and now, with my own kids, it’s even more of a passion. I recently hosted the Robinsons...

It’s that time of the year again! Soon enough we’ll have people asking if you collect stickers and if you’ve got your planner yet. It’s almost like a tradition now to have a Starbucks planner and have a taste of their holiday specialty drinks when Christmas comes...

TV5 has a new weekly drama series on air that has Alice Dixon wearing a bikini and Derek Ramsay in a reverse “Indecent Proposal” role. It is similar in a way with the Demi Moore movie however in this story, Alice Dixon, a hot and obscenely rich older woman, is ready to give the...

For those who know me from way way back, they know that I have always loved writing poems and prose. I’ve been a writer more than an actor or a singer. However, I never really publicly showcased any of my poems. It’s an unnerving feeling when my poems get out there – like...

I was three when I first saw the ocean and remembered it. It was a beautiful day and there were families all along the beach, kids playing on the sand, trying to build castles and other kids wading on the shore, letting the waves lap at their feet while they happily scream and run away from...

It’s always sad to have a series end, even a short one like this one with Wansa. You build relationships, share kwentos and learn a little bit something extra about that person you just used to see on TV. I am so grateful to have been given this opportunity to be in this show and so...

I think the only thing missing from Balesin would be a never ending supply of chocolates and maybe Johnny Depp on my bed. If it had that then I would most definitely believe that I have died and this is my heaven. It was Tessa’s weekend birthday celebration in Balesin and I was there to...

As far back as I can remember, the one thing that defined you as a woman were breasts. Real women have boobs. BOOBS. In Tagalog, suso. These two bags of fat defined who I was and how attractive I should be. Boobs. The definition of my attractiveness lay in that one hilarious word –...

Well, I did win a bottle of Cointreau last Tuesday so that kinda makes me COINTREAUversial. Tuesday nights are the Be Cointreauversial nights at Escape Resto and Lounge. The place is luxuriously cozy and is always packed with beautiful people and the best staff! It’s like the old school...

In showbusiness, the whole ethos of the game is to stay current, fresh and in the news. Most people think it’s about relevance but let’s be honest, most of the time the most irrelevant actions are the ones that get the most publicity. There are some artists who are lauded for...

My very first show EVER in showbiz was Labs Ko Si Babe and my character there became so popular that my showbiz name kinda stuck with the character’s name: Duday. My very first director was also the one who baptized me with that name – Jerry Lopez Sineneng. When I got the news...

I’ve always believed that true love exists. Medyo mahirap mahanap at minsan mas mailap pa ito keysa sa niyebe sa Pilipinas. Pero paminsan-minsan, pag sinuswerte, makikita mo ito. Meet Zoe and Halla. Actually si Zoe di ko pa nakikilala ng face to face. Si Halla ang talagang kakilala ko....

If you’ve been following me on Twitter and on Facebook, you may have noticed that lately I’ve been posting a lot about positivity. Truth is, I was a skeptic. It was hard for me to be positive when I was at the lowest point in my life – no job, no love life and my health was...

Pinoy comedy has always been a piss-take and is relegated in the shelves of either slapstick or lactose intolerant cheese sprinkled with a production number in the end. For a time, Pinoy comedy films was in itself a punchline. As the decades rolled on, the punchlines were better and I have...

The man said write about what you know So, I write this Because it is what I know. I know that you can make me stop mid-sentence with just a memory of you and your eyes and your smile and your hands. I know that I’d like to drown in the bright fluid sound of your laughter; fumble and...
