Spoiler Alert! – Glorious (Catchy lines)

 

Eto na nga ang pinakaabangan ng karamihan, ang pelikula hatid ng IWant TFC at Dreamscape; Glorious. Bida si Angel Aquino at ang baguhang aktor na si Tony Labrusca. Una ko sya nakita sa Pinoy Boy Band. Spotted agad. 😍

Nakakaintriga ang mga romantic scenes at ang istorya. Trailer pa lang ay 2M views agad sa loob pa lang ng 3 oras. Hindi nila inaasahan ang mainit na pagtanggap ng publiko. Ang init naman din kase talaga. Hot ang aktor na si Tony at ang kanyang leading lady na kahit edad 43 (kung hindi ako mali) na ay pwede pa makipagsabayan sa mga nakababata. Panoorin ang trailer.

Ano nga ba ang istorya? Ang karakter ni Angel na si Glory ay may 3 anak na nasa legal age na. Ipinagpalit sya ng asawa nya sa kanyang sekretarya. Sumusuporta na lang sya sa kanilang mga anak. Nakilala ni Glory ang karakter ni Tony na si Niko nang tumingin si Glory/G ng lampshade na binilin ng asawa nya. Sa kasamaang palad, pangit daw ang taste ni Glory.

Dun na nag umpisa ang istorya. Binata si Niko na hindi sumuko na makipagkaibigan kay Glory. Hanggang sa nagkita sila at nagkaalaman na click naman pala sila. Kay Niko naramdaman ni Glory na maging masaya at magaan ang buhay, maalagaan at marami pang iba. Naman, kung ganun nga, hindi ka ba ma-fall? Mabuti na lang seryoso si Niko sa kanya kahit pa 22 anyos lang sya at 50 anyos si Glory. Hindi ito karaniwan. Kaya magiging laman talaga ng usap usapan ang ganung relasyon.

Mabuti na lang tanggap ang relasyon ni Niko at Glory ng mga anak nya. Di ko in-expect. May suporta pa. Sana lahat ng dadaan sa ganung sitwasyon maintindihan din ng iba. Umasa tayo. 😣

Natural na hindi lahat ay maiintindihan o tatanggapin ang kakaiba nilang relasyon. Hindi kumpleto ang buhay pag walang kontra bida. 😁 Yun ang conflict. Panoorin nyo na lang ha. Ang mga hot scenes sa tingun ko ay Rated R. Ano nga ba ang rating na binigay ng MTRCB? May values pa rin ang movie kahit na may ganung mga bed scenes.

Eto na nga ang mga nagustuhan kong salita o linya na galing sa Glorious:

1. My beautiful sexy lola.

2. Alam mo edad lang yan, ang importante ramdam kita.

3. Siguro naghihintay ng tamang tao. Ako ba? Sulit ba?

4. Viscos – masarap at hindi nakakaumay

5. Pag may importanteng pag uusapan, kailangan disente.

6. I’ve never felt this alive in my life.

7. Hindi sya bata pag magkasama kame.

8. Magsilbi sa mahal mo.

9. Tatlong bagay na iniisip ng mga tao na basis ng relasyon na ‘to: pera, good f*ck, mother figure.

10. Kahit magkaedad tayo, kung hindi tayo magkakaunawaan, magkakahiwalay din tayo.

11. Sya lang yung nanjan para saken nung hirap na hirap nako sa thesis ko (Oh wow! This is crazy .i.)

12. How young is young pala? Mahal mo na?

13. We can’t choose the people we love.

14. Glory: Ang bata! / Friend: Syempre noh, idol kita. Mentor!

15. Niko: Sexy mo naman. / Glory: SEXY mo naman…

16. Ikaw pinakamahal ko sa lahat ng naging girlfriends ko.

17. (Talking about annulment) Gusto ko pag ipunan yun. Magkano kaya aabutin yun? Sa tingin mo, ilang ilaw, ilang cellphone o ilang spare parts ang kailangan ko ibenta para pag-ipunan KA? (whew! kung ako yan, haba ng hair ko)

18. Oo, gusto kitang pakasalan.

19. Alapo (Lola of Niko)

20. Hija, hindi mayaman ang aming pamilya. Ang tangung yaman namen ay ang aming relasyon sa isa’t isa.

21. Ang marunong umalis, matutong bumalik.

22. Sana naghintay ka muna Mia. Sana you took your time.

23. Lahat yan tatanggapin ko, kase mahal na mahal kita.

24. Kahit kailan, yun talaga ang parte ng buhay mo na hindi ako makakasali. Basta andun si Mike.

25. Wala ako sa lugar para husgahan ang kaligayahan ng aking apo.

26. Ang sa akin kang, magsabi ng totoo!

27. Bakit kailangan itago ang katotohanan?

28. Alam kong mahirap tanggapin kung anong meron kami. Pero umaasa lang ako, sana iba yung samen. Mahirap pong pigilan. Hindi ko naman sya pinilit.

29. Yung pinaramdam nya saken, kahit kailan hindi ko pa naranasan.

30. Halos ikamatay ko ang desisyon ko na manatili sa relasyon na yun.

31. Pero nung dumating si Niko, gumaan lahat.

32. Alam ko na may hangganan ang lahat. Pwede kami maghiwalay. Pwede ako mauna sa kanya.

33. Ayoko na magsisi ulit. Kaya kinuha ko ang pagkakataon na binigay saken. Yung ayokong manghinayang na hindi ko naramdaman yung ganitong pagmamahal. ❤

34. Kung talagang mahal mo sya, wag mong nakawin ang pagkakataon na para sa kanya.

35. Tibayan mo ang puso mo na huwag padala sa mga husga nila.

36. Kahit saan tayo lumipat, uulit at uulit lang to.

37. Ayusin mo ang sarili mo.

38. Kung tunay ka nyang mahal, babalikan ka nya.

All lines are in chronological order. You probably know how the story went. Worth watching! 5 stars to the actors, crew/staff, cinematography, writers and director. Credit to the Official sound tracks. It made the scenes more romantic, heavy, and all messages they wanted to convey. Congrats!

One of the Official Soundtracks available for now. I will update once available; (Magkaibang Mundo by KZ). Below is Saglit by Moira dela Torre.

I can watch it all over again. To view this digital movie, you simply have to download the new iWant mobile app for free (Android or iOS).

Questions in mind:

1. Ok ba talaga gumawa ng paso na may kahawak na kamay?

2. Babae talaga ang huhushagan sa kahit anong edad, pagkakataon at panahon?

3. Ilang Glorious ang nagtuloy at nagpigil ng mga nararamdaman nila?

4. Ilang Niko ang naging totoo? ang nanindigan?

5. Iiwan mo ba talaga kahit mahal mo pa?

Pakisagot nga po. Alin din ba ang paborito mong linya?

Please like my Facebook page kung sa tingun nyo may sense pala to.

Kita Kita Movie 2017; 10 Reasons Why

Hi I’m Hannah Panadera. Ay, Porsche Cadiz pala. But I’m not suicidal. Hehe… Napanood namen ang pelikulang Kita Kita. Pakita pa lang, alam ko na maganda ito. At nang lumabas sa sinehan, hindi ko ito pinalampas. Ang buong istorya ay nangyari sa Japan. Ang mga artista ay sina Alessandra da Rossi at Empoy Marquez. Magaling sila. Nagampanan nila ang hinihingi ng pelikula, walang alinlangan. Sa Direksyon ni Sigrid Andrea P. Bernardo. Samantalang sina Piolo Pascual, Director Joyce Bernal, Erickson Raymundo and Suzanne Shayne Sarte ang mga Producer.

Warning: Spoiler Alert!

Isa itong romantic comedy. Tumakbo ang buong istorya kay Lea (Alessandra) at Empoy (Tonyo). Nagkaroon ng pansamantalang pagkabulag si Lea matapos nya matuklasan na niloloko sya ng boyfriend nyang Hapon na si Nobu. Lingid sa kanyang kaalaman, sinusundan na pala sya ni Tonyo matagal na. Nang panahon na wasak naman si Tonyo sa pagkakahiwalay nila ng girlfriend nya, si Lea ang nagbigay bigay sa kanya ng pagkain at tubig. Kaya naman sa panahong kinailangan ng tulong ni Lea, andun naman si Tonyo para sa kanya. Nagpakilala si Tonyo at nagbigay ng mga pagkain. Pumapasyal sila sa mga pasyalan sa Sapporo, Japan. Nagkakaroon ng biruan at harutan. Hanggang na-develop sila sa isa’t-isa habang nasa kondisyon ng pagkabulag si Lea. Stress daw ang dahilan ng kanyang pagkabulag. (Malapit na rin siguro ako mabulag. Haysss.. ) Isa sa mga pasyal nila Lea at Tonyo, iniwan saglit ni Tonyo si Lea  sa isang tabi para bumili ng regalo na teddy bear. Biglang luminaw at unti-unting nagbalik ang paningin ni Lea. Natanaw pa nya si Tonyo sa kabilang kalsada. Kumaway sya. Nalaman ni Tonyo na nanumbalik na ang kanyang paningin. Ngunit sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, nasagasaan si Tonyo. At yun na ang una at huli nilang pagkikita. Maraming natuklasan si Lea tungkol kay Tonyo nang nagpunta sya sa bahay na inupahan neto. Kasama na ang paggawa ni Tonyo ng isanlibong “paper cranes” at pagkatapos ay humiling siya na manumbalik ang paningin ni Lea; sulat ni Tonyo na inibigay sana sa araw na nangyari ang aksidente; sya pala ang saging na pinagkatiwalaan ni Lea ng buhay nya; at sya din pala ang nagpapunta kay Lea sa Beer Garden para makita nya ang kanyang boyfriend at kaibigan na nagtataksil sa kanya.

Request kong panoorin mo rin. Para makita mo at maramdaman ang emosyon na meron sa pelikulang ito. Hindi maipaliwanag. Pasensya na, napahaba ang kwento. Eto na ang aking sampung (10) masasabi sa pelikulang Kita Kita.

Isa

Nag-iisa ang pelikulang ito. Hindi typical. Hindi predictable ang istorya, may lungkot, may kilig, may tawa.

Dalawa

Dalawang beses ko narinig at tumatak sa akin ang kantang “Two Less Lonely People in the World” sa bersyon ni KZ Tandingan. Punung-puno ng damdamin. Orihinal itong kinanta ng Air Supply.

Tatlo

Tatlong babae ang katabi ko sa kaliwa na panay ang komento sa bawat eksena ng pelikula. Gusto kong sabihan na, “Manahimik Kayo!”

Apat

Halos apat na raan piso (400) na pala ang sine ngayon.

Lima

Hindi ko sigurado kung limang beses kinurot ng pelikulang ito ang puso ko. Tignan nyo ang limang linya na tumatak sa isip ko.

“Bulag ka ba? Nakikita mong bulag ako?” – Lea

“Eh, ano kung bulag ka, ako naman ang magsisilbing mata mo eh.” – Tonyo

“Noong nakakakita ka, ‘di mo ako nakita. Nang mabulag ka, doon mo lang ako nakita.” – Tonyo

“’Di ko alam kung bakit pinili kong umihi sa salawal kong saging kaysa mawala ka sa paningin ko.” – Lea

“Nang gabing ito, pinagkatiwala ko ang buhay ko sa isang saging.” – Lea

Anim

Pang anim or six, No SEX scene pero makabuluhan ang istorya.

Pito

Hindi lang pitong beses ako tumawa.

Walo

Tunay nga na walang katapusan ang pag-ibig. Eternal/Eternity ika nga. ♾ Kahit nawala na ang taong mahal mo, magpapatuloy ang pag-ibig mo.

Siyam

Pang siyam o nine. None! Walang tapon ang pelikulang ito. Sana marami pang kahit hindi star-studded na pelikula ay may aral. Napagtanto ko na hindi kailangan ng magagandang mukha sa showbiz ang gaganap para maging kapanapanabik ang bawat tagpo. Kaya kang pakiligin ng isang magandang istorya at sinematograpiya.

Sampu

10 stars ang rating ko! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Chill, Relax, Tawa, Iyak, at Realisasyon ang naramdaman ko sa pelikulang Kita-Kita.

Talaga namang bagay ang puso ❤ at ang saging 🍌. Ikaw, ano ang bilang sampu sa buhay mo? Share mo naman. 😊

Paborito ko nga pala ang karakter na si Sapporo. Kita kita tayo!❤🍌

Fifth’s 1st Birthday at Uncle Cheffy Centris 2015

We had a hard time to book for a venue around November because it was fully-booked everywhere (our choice of food chain). Fifth’s 1st birthday was December 1, 2015. No weekends were available anymore for party. Until we accidentally noticed Uncle Cheffy located in Centris Quezon Avenue as we passed by going to another food chain for inquiry. The manager; Morish was very accommodating as we ask each and every party packages. Then, we ordered for lunch since we were so hungry also just in time for lunch. After dining, we decided which package to avail and even asked to serve everything in smorgasbord or buffet style instead of plating them. 20% down payment was given upon contract signing. We reserved on the first weekend of December 2015 for 150 pax. 4 hours of party time. Venue was FREE as long as you order all the food from them. It was made exclusive for Fifth’s birthday because of the number of pax reserved. Corkage applies if you want to bring Lechon or other party food. Done deal.

The costume of Fifth was tailored to fit him well. Thanks to mommy Liz. The party was sailor inspired since my father was one when he was alive. Balloons were sponsored by ate Trisha and ate Sean (our lovely nieces). Bubble machine was sponsored by Eloisa (my long time friend). Party emcee was also Eloisa. She facilitated the games for kids and adult. My eldest daughter and her 2 girl classmates presented a dance number. We prayed together as we dedicated Fifth to the Lord God and Jesus. Ninongs, Ninangs, friends, and relatives celebrated with us. Though our 101 year old Lolo Osong Geronimo just passed away a couple of weeks ago, we had to continue the party since reservation was done. And it was Fifth’s very first birthday. In our hearts, Tatay Osong is loved. His memories remain as long as we live. Love you Tatay O!

I would like to commend the managers and staff of Uncle Cheffy Centris Quezon Avenue for excellent service. Special mention to sir Morish who was there from reservation, follow-ups, actual party until billing.

Food was really good from Pasta, Chicken, Fries and their signature oven-baked Pizza which they call Panizza. (You will fill the ingredients of your chosen variety on the crust by yourself, served together.) Below are our pictures during the party filled with fun!

After the party, we went to our condo in Quezon City for a quick swimming, snack and chat. Basketball game for boys. Only few family members were able to attend. But, it was totally fun.

Uncle Cheffy is open from 11am-11pm everyday. By schedule there are live performers on Centris Walk stage which is facing them. Free live music with good food to enjoy. They also accept major credit cards. For inquiries and reservation, here is the contact number is 02 3760051.

Movie Review: Pixels – Sponsored by Gist Ph (Block Screening)

I saw the ad about FREE block screening tickets for Pixels starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan and others. I undoubtedly participated without any hassle. The Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) has been widely used and a great medium now a day for advertising. I was lucky to be one of the 20 winners! I love the part that we all stood up to sing the National Anthem. (It has been a while since I stay at home most of the time. I am indeed proud to be a Filipino.

What is block screening? The easiest way to describe it is, the cinema is rented and reserved for a specific group of people or company. It has exclusivity among the group/company. No ticket is sold in the cinema (Not to scalpers). Less people, no lines.

What is Gist Ph? Up since January 2014, Gist.ph is establishing itself as the go-to site for the concert-going crowd, with content on topics of interest such as music, movies, travel, fashion, art and food — everything that concerns their lifestyle. Created as a website that reaches out primarily to millennials, it is also gaining traction among older audiences, proving that fun is indeed universal. Its tag line, “Be Here Now,” communicates what it is all about: a call for netizens to get up and go out, see the world, and look up from their phones once in a while. (credit to Gist.Ph)

What is Pixels? It is a movie about the famous 80’s video game and the arcaders (the gamers) as they call themselves. Let us watch how they battle against the alien’s misconception of war.

The Plot:

When aliens intercept video feeds of classic arcade games and misinterpret them as a declaration of war, they attack Earth, using the games as models. Knowing that he must employ a similar strategy, President Will Cooper (Kevin James) recruits his childhood pal, former video-game champ and home-theater installer Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), to lead a team of old-school arcade players and a military specialist (Michelle Monaghan) in an all-out battle to save the planet.

My Review:

The movie Pixels is so Adam Sandler. He nailed it again. I laughed more than a couple of times. It was a movie about animation, comedy and romance in one. I relived my computer game experience back in the days. I actually still keep my “Family Computer”. It is not the Nintendo (white and maroon). It is the gray one with hundreds of games in 1 cartridge. It also has the gun accessory for Duck Hunt game and other related games. Oh! Childhood days… I love the romance part of the movie with Lady Lisa (Ashley Benson) and Ludlow Lamonsoff (Josh Gad). Funny movie! I gave it 4/5.

Thank you Gist Philippines for a wonderful experience. You may visit Gist Ph where you’ll find news about events and lifestyle.

Caesar’s Coffee Shop at Makati Palace Hotel – A Review

My husband had a cluster dinner with his colleagues at work; October 6, 2012, Saturday. Our kids and I were not supposed to join but we attended a birthday party in Greenbelt 1 earlier that day so we were company with them. There was an all-you-can-eat dinner buffet at Caesar’s Coffee Shop in Makati Palace Hotel at 5011 P. Burgos Corner Canceres St. It is near the entertainment district of Makati. There were glittering lights all over the area outside of the hotel.

They found a deal at Metrodeal, instead of Php 700/guest it was down to P299. They saved Php 401 each. It was stated there that the foods to be served are Filipino staples such as: Pandan Rice, Chopsuey, Relyenong Bangus, Kare-Kare and Lechon Kawali.

Unfortunately on the actual buffet, Kare-Kare and Lechon Kawali were missing. Instead, some familiar dishes with no labels were served on the table. The food I was able to identify were Fish Fillet with Taosi sauce (is it?), Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet, Pork Fillet(?), Sotanghon as the soup for the day, some kind of Vegetable dish, Plain rice, Pandan rice, Pancit (Miki), Menudo and Maja blanca. There was a vegetable salad bar in the corner.  The amount paid per head was just equal in value for the food quality served. It will be too much for Php 700/guest. The over-all taste was fine, nothing really special. Here are some pictures taken that night. I missed to take a picture of other food like their Plain rice, Pandan rice, Pancit (Miki) and Menudo,

The Blackberry team managers held a surprise baby shower for Boss Thea who has been waiting for her due date sometime 3rd week of October. They prepared gifts for her like lollipops, baby album, well-wishers card and other gift left wrapped. It was a fun evening seeing them throw their jokes to each other. I know most of them because I also worked there for more than 2 years. It was nice seeing all of you again. Nice to meet you guys to those I haven’t met personally and who just got promoted. My husband will be transferred into other Line of Business. This might be the last time he can have dinner with them. But who knows?!

My kids sure did loiter around. Eventhough a high chair was provided for Fourth, he did not stay for long there. He liked it better to walk around. Here are the evidences…
