Isang Sulyap TVC of Camella Homes: Young Hearts Brought Together by a Master-Planned Community

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"A young boy looks up and suddenly his world changes. In an instant, he has been cast out of the boyhood life of toys and comics, playing pranks and computer games and entered into the world of love-at-first-sight-- or was it crush-at-first-sight?

But the first sight may be the last. Or maybe not..."

That was a portion of the description of Camella's newest Television Commercial (TVC) that you can view below about young love between a boy and a girl brought together conveniently by a pet dog that obviously understands his master so much. Yup! All the elements for a romantic teen teleserye love story infused with our love for adorable smart pets are all here.

No adults were explicitly shown in the story because it mainly focused on our three lovable characters which made the TVC a lot more interesting since it was easy to grow so fond of the lingering scenes when the boy seemed to be thinking about the girl he almost met. The last act of the dog was so cute that I wouldn't want to spoil it by giving it away already. It's better that you watch the video clip on your own so you'll appreciate it more.

Just in time before Valentine's Day, Camella creatively introduced its master-planned communities with an interesting and cute love story that speaks directly to the Filipino heart. The video would like to share that "One does not just own a home in Camella. One lives a life."

Radioactive Sago Project Steps Into Eraserheads’ Shoes In “Manhid” This February

Wazzup Pilipinas!

“MANHID: The Pinoy Superhero Musical” brings together not only talented actors, singers, and dancers, but critically acclaimed musicians too! Audiences will be treated to live music in each show, care of the Radioactive Sago Project. The sought-after group is taking over where the Eraserheads left off in 1991, as the production’s live band.

The Radioactive Sago Project’s perennially surprising stylistic excursions have earned them a cult following, from critics to art fans, even to discerning rock audiences. The band is fronted by four-time Palanca Award-winning writer Lourd De Veyra, along with alumni from the UP College of Music, two-time Gawad Urian awardee for Best Music, Francis De Veyra on bass, Jay Gapasin on drums, Junji Lerma on guitars, Pards Tupas on trombone, Arwin Nava on percussions, and Wowie Ansano on trumpet. Eventually, the band added Roxy Modesto (tenor and baritone saxophone) and B-boy Garcia (turntables) to beef-up the lineup.

“We’re greatly honored to be performing alongside the Radioactive Sago Project,” says Ballet Philippines Artistic Director Paul Alexander Morales. “We had a great experience working with them during Rock Supremo, so we are very eager to do so again.”

As the talent-studded cast of “MANHID” will be doing the singing for the show, frontman Lourd De Veyra’s involvement in the production is limited. His brother, Francis De Veyra serves as the production’s Musical Director, which he did for “Rock Supremo” as well. As a whole, the band brings a new vitality to the musical’s songs, which were originally performed in 1991 by the Eraserheads.

Qi Wellness Teahouse and Bathhouse of Tagaytay

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I knocked on this huge red door for one of the most pleasant nights I had in my life. It was almost seven pm and the sky has darkened. My consort and I are cold and tired from the drive. The door opened and we were greeted pleasantly by a man, “Welcome to Chi Wellness!”

Alas! We missed the sunset overlooking the beautiful view of Taal volcano. A marvelous view of the volcano can be grasped even though the darkness of the night covered it. On the other hand, we saw the pleasant night view surrounding the area.

We were toured around the place with a glass kitchen to showcase the artwork behind their dishes. The chef gave a smiling face as we passed by. The big dining area can accompany 20 guests and could be booked privately. A grand event like a bachelorette party, a corporate event or a birthday dinner would be nice to have here.

Going down the stairs, is an even more lovelier place. The bartender offered us cocktails and we hanged out by the bar and were offered the menu. The menu is limited but with absolute taste. It is well thought of by the chef.

Skin Philosophie by Dr. Kyla Talens: Be Among Their Masterpieces Flaunting Beautiful Flawless Skin

Wazzup Pilipinas!


I guess everyone, especially in the Philippines whose people are fascinated with glutathione solutions and whitening soaps and creams, would want to have smooth, flawless and glowing white skin. Unlike in the other countries whose people would spend for tanning equipments and bum under the sun of tropical beaches just to get that perfect tan, we Filipinos would want to look like we belong to the affluent by becoming as white as our foreign counterparts we deem blessed with white or Caucasian complexions.

We also don't want to see blemishes, wrinkles, acne, warts, blackheads, whiteheads and all sorts of skin flaws to make us less confident and appealing. We want the best for ourselves so our physical appearance become one of our primary concerns. Admit it or not, people still have the discrimination against people who look like they belong to the lower class. Since our complexion is obviously the first thing people see, we strive hard to make it more acceptable in the judgmental eyes of many.

This is why many of our fellow countrymen dream of having celebrity-like skin. Sadly, skin care treatments would mostly be expensive for the common people. Blessed are those that can afford to spend a fortune in perfecting a flawless complexion since some dermatologists would normally recommend the most expensive or lengthy treatments.

But there's great news for everyone now that there's a new skin center that was recently opened just last November 2014. Skin Philosophie Medical Aesthetic and Lifestyle Solutions by Dr. Kyla Talens promises to make you their masterpiece - because they believe crafting beauty is an art, and they want you to be among their many fully satisfied masterpieces.
