Regine Velasquez-Alcasid and G. Tongi-Walters for the Covers of Mega Magazine June 2013

Wazzup Pilipinas!

This is a repost for Mega magazine as I am helping promote their two cover celebrities.

First is Regine Velasquez-Alcasid and the other is G. Tongi-Walters. Both are maybe in their 30s but they'e both very hot mommas or MILFs - if you know what I mean.

Admittedly, a lot has changed for both Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, and Manila’s former perennial it-girl before leaving for New York to become a serious actress, G. Tongi-Walters.

Regine has been into an adventure in marriage, motherhood, and a renewed love for music. Regine Velasquez-Alcasid is a powerful MEGA Global Pinoy and this June 2013, she graces the cover of MEGA Magazine’s Pinoy Pride Issue - I Am Global Pinoy.

G is now back bringing with her a husband, two kids, and a brand new point of view. She graces another alternate cover of the June 2013 of MEGA Magazine - I Am Pinoy 2.0.

What would you do to too many choices for your tea-based drinks? Try it all out one per day, or a different flavor three times a day,. morning noon and night?But there seems to be a new flavor coming out very often or at least once a month. Wah! Too many choices, so very little time. Maybe I should invite my entire family to their shop and we all try different blends at every visit. What do you think?

Super Duck Modern Tea Shop may have a gazillion type of teas to offer but all of their teas are superb in taste, and some even look and smell great! Promise!

Taste the authentic difference. Taste the leader of tea shops in Lu Kang. Visit their tea shop now!!!

I was a great deal early so I was able to watch the rehearsal of the Yahoo OMG! event from where I got the information that both Charice and Anne Curtis won as Media Magnets.

There were two winners for the 3rd Yahoo OMG!'s Media Magnet award - for Charice and Anne Curtis. But unfortunately, only Charice was able to make it to the 3rd Yahoo OMG! presscon and party, so she gets to be recognized as the Media Magnet awardee that night. The Media Magnet award was a result of the voting of the members of the media, including bloggers.

The voting for the 3rd Yahoo OMG! has started and everyone has the opportunity to vote once a day until the final deadline which will be approximately one week before the awarding on June 19.

She is known as one of the Philippines’ top teen stars whose popularity started with lead roles in highly rated GMA Network soap operas like “First Time”, “Pilyang Kerubin”, “Nita Negirta”, “Paroa: Ang Kuwento ni Mariposa” and the newly launched “Anna Karenina”. She has also appeared in top grossing movies such as “Ang Darling Kong Aswang”, “Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote”, “Tween Academy: Class of 2012”, “The Road”, “Ang Panday 2” and “Sossy Problems”. She is also one of today’s most in-demand young endorsers.

Now what used to be tween queen turned teen queen Barbie Forteza adds another facet to her young entertainment career—singing. She finally released her debut album under MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines). Simply self-titled, the album fits Barbie’s personality perfectly- bubbly, fun and wholesome.

It includes the carrier single “Meron Ba” about having a crush on someone but could not tell anyone including the person she admires. Its music video is now out on MYX directed by J Pacena and also stars fellow GMA artist Jeric Gonzales as Barbie’s love interest. The album, produced by Francis Guevarra, also features her version of Jolina Magdangal’s “Laging Tapat”- another song about young love, the bouncy track “Upside Down” (originally from the A-Teens) and an original song “Wala Lang”- written by Jude Gitamondoc. “Wala Lang” also comes with a dance version for those who want to groove to Barbie’s music. All tracks have minus one versions for those who want to sing-along to Barbie’s songs.

When in Calamba, Laguna - you must drop by the Rizal Shrine where you will see the birthplace of Jose Rizal, the Philippines' National Hero.

I was there for a tech seminar, but my guts prompted me to pass by the "Dambanang Rizal sa Calamba" but unfiortunately, the place is open only until 4:30 pm.

But due to the overwhelming desire to see at least a glimpse of the place (not really my first time but it will was several years ago when I last set foot at this very historical place.) my friends and I persuaded the guards to let us see the outer parts of the house.
