Preview magazine announces its October 2013 cover model as Toni Gonzaga!

She is remarkably pretty in punk in the October issue. I swear I couldn't have recognized her if it wasn't mentioned. Loving the hair color, and the "bangs", and the new look of Toni here!

But I think the make up is too romantic and bridal for a punk-themed shoot. Though I'm so glad to see a different face in Preview mag, even though it's her second time.

Wearing the latest from Miss Selfridge and ACNE, the host/actress finds the rebel in her as we celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a punch.

Wazzup Pilipinas was invited for the special media presentation of the 20 candidates of the Miss Resorts World Manila 2013. I am very fond of attending pageants since I've attended all of them here in the Philippines like Binibining Pilipinas, Mutya ng Pilipinas, Miss Earth, and other similar pageants where Filipinas all compete for the title of a beauty queen, and then eventually get the chance to compete at an international beauty competition.

Miss Resorts World Manila 2013 is a celebration of beauty, congeniality, luxury and world-class elegance. As Resorts World Manila (RWM) brand ambassador for an entire year, the winner will play a key role in events hosting, radio and TV guestings, fashion shows, and print ad modeling, and representing RWM in various events and activities.

The Media Presentation and Swimsuit Competition event had a distinguished set of judges composed of Jeff Evora - Senior Director for Gaming Events and Promotions of Resorts World Manila (RWM), Scott Sibley - Chief Hotel Operating Officer (RWM), Stephen Reilly - Chief Operating Officer, Martin Paz - Chief Integrated Marketing Officer (RWM) and Tati Fortuna - Managing Director of Scribble Works Productions, Inc. who were all instrumental in determining with their points or votes the winner in the best in Swimsuit competition.

The event also awarded the Darling of the Press, or the Media Darling, as voted by members of the press including Wazzup Pilipinas.

Who were the winners? Read on!

I'm a self-confessed chocolate lover! I would do anything for chocolate even if it means sacrificing other sweet treats just to have a bite of the sweet chocolatey goodness of this treat sent from heaven!

The Greeks were on to something when they called the cacao tree the “food for the gods.” It is, after all, where chocolate comes from. And, if left on their own, people would anoint chocolate a food group, like grains and vegetables.

To many, chocolate is already an elixir, capable of banishing fatigue, boosting flagging spirits and mimicking the giddy feeling of being in love. That chocolate has other health benefits (decreasing the risk of stroke, upping heart health) is, well, more reason to eat it!

In fact, Goya has found another easy-peasy way to get your fix: by just taking it with the new Goya Take It.

Each one of us would like to be able to run a business, may it be big or small, solo entrepreneurship, partnership, or even a corporation.But almost everyone starts out small (unless they have a rich financier, or kapag big-time si Daddy, or when you suddenly win in the Lotto, or got a huge "pamana" or inheritance).

For those who do not have the means yet to make it instantly big, there is a new website that allows us to post our small businesses or "rakets" and gather attention from the public looking for products and services online.

RaketMarket.ph is an online marketplace for Pinoy’s who want to make extra money using the Internet thru “rakets,” or small services. It is also a place where members can sell their own products, or refer the products of other members and receive a certain amount from the sale.

But wait, everyone can actually also post in the site regardless if they're business is big already (though many of them can afford aggressive promotions already if they really are "big" enough). The site adds opportunity for the business owner to increase its potential customers, and since its Ambassador is the very popular comedian Tado Jimenez, that's a face you can trust that will surely appeal to the masses or "madlang people".

I'm sure not to miss the blocked screening of THOR: The Dark World 3D on October 30 at Shang-Cineplex, EDSA Shangri-La Plaza. Wow! The Php 550 blocked screening fee even includes free popcorn and drinks, loot bag goodies, plus a chance to win in raffle for all attendees!

I'm a fan of all Marvel comic book, cartoon and movie franchises so hearing that there's going to be dedicated movies for my beloved comic book characters is awesome news!!! I've watched all of them superhero movies - every single one of them, both on the big screen and at home when the DVD copies becomes available. I guess I never get tired and would always have a kid's heart and love for these fictional characters from the imagination of superb writers and artists from the comic book industry.

The fascinating CGI or Computer-Generated Imagery that the movie producers have been incorporating on their movies have improved a lot and continuously making people impressed with the life-like and stunning visual stunts and effects to enhance our movie experience! It has made superhero movies feel more powerful and a feast to the eyes.

I've been playing the NBA 2K game franchise since its very first release! Whew! Did I just revealed my age? Nah! I started out young, as a toddler! Hehehe !!!

Seriously, I really played the latest basketball game version every year, and comparing the newest version with the previous, the updates, the improvements, the additions, even tried the patches released that will somehow modify or enhance the game.

I played on both PC and Playstation but I really prefer to play longer on a PC so that I could easily multi-task with other work. I only play on the console if I really want to keep focus on rest and relaxation.

It was great news to know that the season is on for NBA 2K14 as it becomes available here in the Philippines.

The SRPs of the game boxes were reported as Php 2,395 for the PS3, Php 2,195 for the XBox, and Php 1,295 for the PC.
