Fiery Style Southwestern Flaming Grill Spiced Up The Parkway Wing of SM City Fairview

12/21/2019 12:58:00 AM

Fiery Style Southwestern Flaming Grill is one of the growing companies in the food and restaurant industry that sets up a new branch in the Northern part of Quezon City in SM City Fairview, one of the known malls in the area. You'll find this location very far from the Metro and is almost at the boundary of Bulacan. This place is maybe far but I'm sure you'll find this place filled with so many things to go to.


 
To spice up the newest wing of SM City Fairview Parkway, Fiery Style is just the right Tex-Mex restaurant to place in this part of the mall, as they provide quite a variety of dishes to choose from.

Opening its doors to nearby residences, Fiery Style is already receiving quite many guests. The lining up of the crowd in the lobby only proves that people are interested in this Tex-Mex restaurant. I'm a testament to this as I'm one of the guests to partake in their flavorful dishes.


The place isn't big but it can accommodate several guests that will be there to dine and enjoy the live band, especially during weekends. There are plenty of delectable dishes but there are few that interests my palate. For this food journey, I liked their Steak and the Galleon of Bones. I do like the concept of how different dishes were mixed in one serving. Good for a group of four or more. While the steak ala familia is tender enough to bite and feel the juiciness.




Thirsty or not, you can also enjoy their cocktails and drinks. You can enjoy the night away.


Other dishes that might interest you are the Lord of the Wings, which is a selection of chicken wings in different flavors; their tasty Cheesecake for dessert; the Chili Beef Quesadilla that fills your palate; and of course their Fiery Nachos that is coined as the best nachos in town.


Enjoy your dine at Fiery Style! They are open 10AM to 9PM on Mondays to Thursday and 10AM to 10PM on Weekends.


Enjoy and see you around!

Coco Defends Country from War in “FPJ’S ANG PROBINSYANO’S” Fourth Year

12/20/2019 01:23:00 PM

“FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano’s” Cardo has endured unimaginable threats to his job, community, and family. But in the fourth year of the country’s longest-running drama-action series, primetime TV’s everyday hero is facing his biggest mission: to protect the whole Philippines against its gravest conflict yet.

“Next year, our story will be the story of the world. A big, big war will happen. It will be packed with more action, more drama, and more intense scenes. It won’t just be about Cardo and his family, but the entire country,” said Coco Martin, who serves as the lead star, creative head, and one of the directors of the program.

According to the King of Television, they will start shooting scenes in different areas in and out of the country for the program’s next chapter in January. Hollywood actors have already been confirmed to join the series, he added.

“What have we not encountered yet? What else does Cardo have to go through? We want to give people different flavors, different stories so everyone can relate to it. It has to be a new experience every time,” said Coco.

He added that 430 actors and actresses have had guest appearances in the already star-studded program, including Judy Ann Santos, Vice Ganda, Anne Curtis, Angelica Panganiban, and Christopher De Leon.


Meanwhile, Yassi Pressman expressed her appreciation and gratefulness for playing Alyana, Cardo’s wife and now a newly elected barangay captain whom she has come to love. “Alyana and the program have changed my life. I look up to her. She is good, kind, loving – all of the characteristics of a respectable woman.”

Viewers should also watch out for when Yassi and Coco have another baby as they prepare to rebuild their family, after the unfortunate death of their eldest son two years ago.

“We both have careers, how will we maintain our relationship? Having kids will add flavor and color to the story. It’s also a concern of Filipinos -- having to spend time with and caring for their children. That’s what we want to show as well, that we are a solid family,” said Yassi.

Amidst plot twists and foreign actors joining the show, “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” aims to showcase and reflect real-life experiences that are distinctly Filipino, said Coco.

“We have an obligation to the viewers. We will do everything so that every night they watch our show is worth it and does not disappoint them. They motivate us, they are the reason we wake up and go on every day, however we are feeling. They are our inspiration. Thank you all so much,” said Coco.

Don’t miss the action and lessons in “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,” weeknights on ABS-CBN and ABS-CBN HD (SkyCable ch 167).

12/20/2019 12:45:00 PM

Ion Perez 'nagtampo' with Vice Ganda? Why?

We have seen how the relationship of Ion Perez and Vice Ganda progress through time. And the madlang people watching the noontime TV Show, It's Showtime, are the witness of that love story. They have this non-verbal communications that entices people to follow what's the story behind.

In one of the press conference, Vice Ganda shared that she's happy with her present situation.  She openly shared "Masaya ang puso ko, in love ako…. kasi marami akong nagugustuhang iba pero parang di naman ako nai-inlove  at maraming nagbago kasi this time yong taong in love ako mahal nya ko…. ngayon masaya kasi yong pinili ko pinili din ako."

MMFF - The Mall The Merrier

Without any particular with the names we all know that she's referring to Ion Perez.

Why did we come to a speculation that Ion Perez feels bad with Vice Ganda, well, there's one answer of Vice during the conference that probably made Ion feel bad or 'nagtampo' with Vice, it's the time that Ion asked Vice with the big WHY? Why couldn't they show and express their love for each other in public?


Here's what Vice said in the conference, "....nung nagtanong siya kung bakit hindi pwedeng sabihin…. yong tungkol sa 'ming dalawa. Ba't di pwedeng sabihin, ba't di pwedeng aminin.Hindi nya maintindihan, hindi nya matanggap na bakit hindi nating pwedeng sabihin?... na-realize ko kung hindi ako mahal ng taong 'to hindi sya masasaktan na tinatago naming ang isa't isa kasi kung wala lang naman to okay lang din itago natin…. siya hindi s'ya papayag. Dun ko na-realize na mahal ako ng taong 'to kasi kaya nya akong panindigan. Siya lang  yong may boses at dila na kayang ipagsigawan ang pangalan ko at sabihing may damdamin sya para sa akin. Siya lang yong may kamay na kayang humawak sa akin kahit maraming nakatingin. Siya lang din yong may kayang yumakap sa akin kahit maraming nakatingin at hindi kami nagtatago sa dilim. Kaya nong ginawa nya sa akin yong ay totoo na to....."

Yam Concepcion and Joseph Marco in an iWant Series about Separated but Living Under One Roof entitled "Uncoupling"

12/19/2019 01:56:00 PM

What can go wrong when timing is a bit unfriendly? Well, just got into a media conference of this new series that will air on iWant this coming December 20. The iWant series stars Yam Concepcion and Joseph Marco in a story of failed relationship while living under one roof, "Uncoupling".


According to its director Dwein Baltazar, they got the idea of the story after hearing and learning that some of the big foreign actors and actresses revealed that they are uncoupled already. Thus, creating this light, funny but realistic story that revolves around the story of Alex played by Yam Concepcion and Carlo portrayed by Joseph Marco who decides to become friends after their marriage crumbles - all for the sake of their only son.

This is husband and wife who have fallen out of love and have been struggling, for years, to save their marriage. On the eve their anniversary, they mutually decide to "uncouple" and live their separate lives while figuring out how to keep their family intact. Probably, one setting that is uncomfortable and uncontrollable.

 
Their plan is all set and all is well until reality sets in. It does not take too long before their devoted in-laws enter the already complex picture and try to get them back together.

As they go into an uncharted territory, will Alex and Carlo be able to protect their son from the grief over their complicated setup? Is it really possible for two parents and former lovers to move on from each other while being together?

Sincere and sprinkled with lighthearted comedy, "Upcoming" tackles the reality of married couples' struggles today.


 
Co-produced by iWant and Big Reveal Entertainment, "Uncoupling" is directed by Dwein Baltazar, who also directed the acclaimed iWant original series "Past, Present, Perfect?," wrote the blockbuster movie "Exes Baggage," and won Best Director and Bes Screenplay for her movie "Gusto Kita With All My Hypothalamus" - also named Best Picture - at the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Science (FAMAS) Awards 2019.

Watch and stream "Uncoupling" for free starting on Friday, December 20 on the iWant app or iwant.ph.

Mindanao, A Story of A Mother, of Love and Culture

12/19/2019 01:29:00 PM

Mindanao is another movie created by one of the renowned director that portrays the reality of life and culture, Director Brillantes Ma Mendoza. As expected this new movie, that is part of the 2019 Metro Manila Film Festival, will definitely give you a glimpse of what is the culture of our fellow brothers and sisters in the south. It is also an eye-opener for every viewers that will watch or have watched this film, about the situation, the struggle, and the life everyone faces in Mindanao.

The movie Mindanao is starred by the Teleserye Queen, Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo and Allen Dizon and some casts that will definitely bring you to a different perspective about the people and culture we don't usually see. A life of a mother, a wife and an individual living in Mindanao.

 
Just recently, I was able to attend the advance screening of the movie Mindanao, missed the press conference but was able to get a crisp of what is the movie all about. It is really hard to tell about the story of film to give your idea about it without spoiling the movie, but we will try to provide views that viewers can pick up and ponder.

The reality of life most of the time hits really hard and seeing the film Mindanao breaks my heart into pieces. This is probably what Director Brillantes aims as he creates the film to let you know, feel and realize that this is happening and he wants us to see life as how he sees it through his films. It may be a film but it's sad to know that there are characters in real life that is like them, fighting and coping what life has given them.


The character of Judy Ann shows not only how she embraces life and struggle but how a malong is given many ways of uses she pictures life as it is, how we all face life in different angle.

Mika Gorospe Celebrates Her Birthday at SOS Children's Village

12/19/2019 01:11:00 PM

A special day for Mika Gorospe but instead of celebrating the usual party with friends, she celebrated the day in a Charity Birthday concert in one of SOS Children's Village together with some of her guests, the Clash Alumni. The event was held last December 10 where Mika spent her day in the village with a mini concert afterwards. It was a fun musical night.


From the Clash Season 1, Mika Gorospe is the bubbly sweet teen who has belted her way. She may have lost in that season but she won the heart of many fans, which were present during the mini concert as their way of supporting Mika.







SOS Children's Village is an NGO that helps orphans, abandoned and neglected children. The concept that intrigues me about their organization is being a family for the children. They have their Tatay, their Mama, their Aunties and siblings. It's a big family where love is given to these children. Mika became a volunteer for that particular day and spent her day helping out with the children.

Happy Birthday to Mika Gorospe and continue to be an inspiration to everyone who dreams.

12/19/2019 11:55:00 AM

It's music time and will be sharing our local boy band that bring the ladies to their 'kilig' time. Yes, this all-male singing quintet BoybandPH—composed of Ford Valencia, Joao Constancia, Niel Murillo, Russell Reyes, and Tristan Ramirez—is back to teach a lesson or two about boldly professing love for one’s special someone with the music video of their sweet track “Pa’no Ba,” produced under Star Music.

The song is one of the tracks in the group’s sophomore album “Love, BoybandPH,” which was released last year. The music video, meanwhile, is the third in a series that dropped this year, starting with “Hanggang Kailan Kaya” in June followed by “Kung ‘Di Mo Natatanong” in September.

“Pa’no Ba” is a ballad written by “Tawag ng Tanghalan” season 1 finalist Froilan Canlas, which takes the point of view of a person who’s head over heels in love with a significant other. It paints the colorful image of effortlessly falling for someone despite having doubts about the possibility of the relationship not working out.


Officially formed in 2016 after winning the reality talent competition “Pinoy Boyband Superstar,” BoybandPH has since released two albums, with their titular debut record being certified gold. They have also collaborated with Jona for the song “Till The End of Time” and frequently perform on “ASAP Natin ‘To.”

Watch the music video of BoybandPH’s “Pa’no Ba” on ABS-CBN Star Music’s YouTube Channel. For updates, like Star Music on Facebook at facebook.com/starmusicph, and follow it on Twitter and Instagram (@StarMusicPH).

Yes, Vice Ganda teams up with Anne Curtis in a family comedy film "The Mall, The Merrier".


Another plus, is the presence of Dimples Romana, still a villain but this time showcasing her funny side.

3 Created Reasons Why We Attend and Celebrate Christmas Parties

12/18/2019 08:39:00 PM

In just few more days we will be celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Early this month and until the day before the Christmas Day or even after that day, we attend Christmas Parties. Probably some of us, couldn't get that schedule because of the invitations from friends, companies and relatives. In other words we're here there and everywhere, especially if you're really that lucky person who is just loved by many.

Beyond that celebration do you really know why parties are created in the first place? Well, probably we often missed that because sometimes we all do is get to the venue and start eating or drinking. Chat a bit and boom where off again to another party.

So, I just have this few ideas that I want to share why parties, particularly Christmas Parties, are created. Of course with a bit of a created story about it.

1. To reconnect. Yes, in some, there are Christmas parties set to create connections with friends and relatives. It is not just music, booze and foods but it's also about reconnecting to your long lost friends or getting closer to them.

2. To getaway. Probably for the working class, the yuppies, or the millennials, Christmas parties are one way of getting away from the load of life or work. You get to have fun, enjoy and laugh even for just few hours of your life.

3. To relax. Yes, for some people parties are their way of getting relaxed. You get to stay at your seat and enjoy the program, the music, the performances and of course the raffle, which is definitely will get you relaxed specially when you won the grand prize.

These are just the 3 generals things that reasons out why we all attend and celebrate Christmas parties. Of course, there are also other reasons like have fun, boast around your new dress, or because fo the prizes that will be raffled.

So, whatever your reasons just be sure that you enjoy and be a blessing to others.

MAJA, GEOFF, JANELLA, and JOSHUA Fight For Their Lives in “THE KILLER BRIDE” | Is It Near The Finale?

12/15/2019 11:30:00 AM

It feels that it was just yesterday when I published my blog post about the 5 Reasons How Viewers Are Lead To Think Camila Is A Ghost in Killer Bride, I even coined that "nabudol tayo ni Camila". Now, The Killer Bride is nearing its finale and the series made an interesting impact to its viewers. A kind of TV series that is comparable to other international TV Series.

During the Media Thanksgiving Day of The Killer Bride it was shared that the series has its time frame and it will end on that specific date. But of course, the directors and writers assured that more plots of the story will unfold. One of which, is Camila (Maja Salvador), Vito (Geoff Eigenmann), Emma (Janella Salvador), and Elias (Joshua Garcia) will face the biggest battle of their lives as they take down Alice (Precious Lara Quigaman), who disguised herself as the feared killer groom, and make sure she finally meets her demise in the gripping remaining weeks of “The Killer Bride.”


The speculations behind the true identity of the killer groom finally ended last Friday (December 13) after Alice was revealed as the person behind the masked murderer. But being exposed will not hinder Alice from putting all her evil ploys to work, especially her plans of revenge against Camila.

Meanwhile, a darker side of Las Espadas will unravel now that viewers can uncover the town’s most gruesome and controversial secrets in the series’ extended version “The Killer Bride: Killer Cuts,” which exclusively streams on iWant.

“The Killer Bride: Killer Cuts” shows the primetime series’ unrated and uncensored scenes, hinting answers to some of the most mind-boggling questions while taking everyone to the characters’ last moments before their horrific end.



Adding to the terror are the sky lanterns, which fly every time a person meets their untimely demise. Viewers should take note of the episodes with the sky lantern logos on iWant as these are the ones that contain the “Killer Cuts.”


As the series nears its finale, “The Killer Bride” remains as one of the most watched primetime series in the country. It hit an all-time high national TV rating of 25.6%, according to data from Kantar Media.


Don’t miss the “The Killer Bride,” weeknight on ABS-CBN. For more information, follow ABS-CBN PR on Facebook (fb.com/abscbnpr), Twitter (@abscbnpr), and Instagram (@abscbnpr).
