After my clinic work , I took a stroll around Cubao, I had the chance to pass by the new Ali Mall. I remembered that this used to be the place we frequent when we were in high school. It was the “in thing “ during that time (late 70’s). Some portions are still undergoing renovation and I’d love to blog about the changes in the area.

I passed by National bookstore to buy some school needs and was glad to find the newest magazine “Sharon at Home”, its first issue. In “Sharon at Home”, she writes about her “real life”, the life she treasures most, her life with Kiko, KC, Miel and Frankie, her kitchen and books, most especially her home.

The first issue of "Sharon At Home" Magazine (Jan - Mar 2010)

Throughout “Sharon at Home” magazine, her handwritten notes can be read. Sharon’s endorsements are all over the magazine too. Grab a copy of “ Sharon at Home”, ‘Good beginnings –its our first issue!’ priced at P 120.00.

Want to be a shopaholic for a day? I did for only 2 hours at the World Bazaar Festival 2009 at World Trade Center.

An alternative to malls, no long queue at the cashier, various products in one roof, lots of one of a kind finds, cheaper price, a pinoy atmosphere and you get to see showbiz celebrities.

Part of the proceeds of the World Bazaar 2009 will be donated to the project Kapit Bisig sa Ilog Pasig, which aims to rehabilitate the 17 kilometer Pasig river system.

World Bazaar festival 2009 at World Trade Center was made possible through partnership of Worldbex and ABS-CBN network.

It was the premier night of the movie Tanging Pamilya at SM megamall Cinema 10, starring Toni Gonzaga, Sam Milby, Erap Estrada and Ai Ai delas Alas, with the special participation of Mommy Dionesia (Pacquiao’s famous mom). It was my first time to attend a premier night. It was standing room only , fans, security people, big muscle men, movie and TV reporters . But I failed to see movie stars.

Well anyway, I enjoyed the movie for it was fun and it kept me laughing, The antics and pun might be recycled stuff but it still kept me glued to watch it till the end. It was a love comedy story and a dash of action with the fight scenes of Erap. As in his old movies are like that, as I watched him when I was a kid. His Chuck Taylor rubber shoes, even in Barong Tagalog, wrist band, but where was his hand towel, which is always on his neck?

Toni was her usual self, I liked the way she acted, so natural and cool. Ai Ai was at her best as a natural comedianne, she did not fail in being the martyr wife of Erap, and a cool mom to her kids. Sam Milby delivered comedy and drama lines, his Tagalog needs more practice. Mommy Dionesia was also in the movie in the latter part. The Ai Ai and Mommy Dionesia Dance Showdown was  the best part of the movie.

Some of the dialogues were taken from different tele-serye program.It might not be an award-winning movie, but I did enjoy it. I want more movies to entertain me, make feel light after and not those movies that I have to think about after watching.

I am looking forward to the December 2009 Metro Manila Film festival. I am a fan !
