Love or Luck? Which one will you consider in your life? This is what bothers the character Joma Labayen which is played by Jericho Rosales. He is having the biggest choice of his life that will eventually will make the story revolves.

From the team who created the phenomenal box-office hit movie "Camp Sawi" and the director of mega-blockbuster movies like "Always Be My Maybe" and "Walang Forever", offers an exciting, enchanting romance-comedy that will differentiate Love from Luck, "LUCK AT FIRST SIGHT".
Bringing together two of the industries fine actor and actress, Asian Drama King, Jericho Rosales and Primetime TV Gem, Bela Padilla for the very first time in a Joyce Bernal production under Viva Films and N2 Productions. A movie that is about luck and life-charms.

In the movie, Jericho is Joma Labayen, a down-on his-luck guy who believes that a "life-charm" could help make for him a rosy existence despite the drudgery of everyday living. By accident and by some stroke of fate, he meets Diane Dela Cruz (Bela), who he thinks is his "life charm". Little did he know that their encounters would lead him to the toughest choice his heart will ever make: Luck or Love.
Diane, however, is no sucker for stories of luck and/or life charms. She is a firm believer of love and how romance sheds light, beauty and happiness to one's being. Their partnership proves lucky enough until they discover that choosing between luck and love can be a tough pick.

"Luck at First Sight" is a concept Bela thought about while listening to the radio.
"Nasa kotse ako, nakikinig ng conversation ng DJs sa radio. Tapos, naisip ko yung title, dun nabuo ang story. Tungkol siya sa dalawang tao na sinuswerte kapag may physical touch sila.

"Ako gusto ko makapanood ng konting feeling ng magic, parang maniniwala ka uli sa isang bagay na hindi mo nakikita. Sa totoong buhay, NAniniwala ako sa swerte, ibang forms lang siguro.
Nung nag-iisip na kami kung sinu ang kukuning directore, sabi namin, dapat si Direk Dan ito. Sobrang galing kasi niya, sobrang ganda ng shots saka gusto naming ma touch din ang point of view ng lalaki sa pelikula". Bela Explains.

As for Direk Dan, working on "Luck At First Sight" made him excited.

"Ang difference nito sa mga nagawa ko na, yung dati, rooted on reality, kung anu ang nangyayari sa totoong buhay. Kaya na -excite ako rito kasi may magic element, 'di realistic. Medyo hyper realistic siya, magical, fantastic," he says.
"First time kong gumawa ng ganito, so minsan, yung pagtimpla ng mga eksena, mapapaisip ka, exaggerated na ba 'to, baka masyadong mababaw o matiga. Rom-com sya, pero may magic realism element," he adds.





 
Echo, like Bela, is totally absorbed by the project. Though "Luck At First Sight" may be their first as a tandem, he shares, "May commitment sa isa't isa na ito ang pinakamagandang movie na gagawin namin together."







Bela say Echo is easy to work with, "hindi niya ako pinahirapan." Echo, for his part relates, "Working with Bela was great. She's very open, walang showbiz na vibe, "Pag nasa set kami, nag uusap kami ng concept and ways to promote or make the film better. It's nice that she's open to exploring things, wala siyang masyadong inhibitions. It's been fun."

We apologize for extending this raffle as we have some family matters to attend to in the following days.

Summer time is activity time and for parents, like us, are involved in thinking different ways on how our kids will enjoy their summer vacation. Though there are plenty of things to do under the sun, still, I would prefer the indoors for my kids. That is for now. These indoor activities will definitely enhance their social skills and the best thing is make more friends.
I was glad that one of the known food chain in the country, McDonald's invited me and my family for the media launch of their McDonald's Kiddie Crew Workshop. It is their annual summer activity and kids love having this kind of activity.

Aside from the launch of their summer workshop they also introduce their newest brand ambassador for the workshop, the Sotto Brothers. It was fun and full activities. Our kids were able to experience the activities of the workshop. It was a week long activity that was squeezed into a few hours.








The activity is mainly becoming the crew of McDonald's in Kiddie format where they does what the actual crew does, like being a door greeter, a lobby person, a cashier and also the crew handling the drive thru. Aside from that experiences they also did the best part how to make their own cheeseburger and sundae mixes.

Here's a glimpse of what they did.











So Mommies and Daddies let your kids be part of McDonald's Kiddie Crew in this a week long workshop. They will learn a lot and develop their social skills.

GMA Network got something new for the kids and kids want to be in their line of shows. Something that is magical, kid-friendly and family oriented that will make Sundays a day to spend with the family, it's the DAIG KAYO NG LOLA KO. Starting April 30, this show will spread magic and life lesson to its viewers.
Aiming to shape children's values through its stories, the show narrates the magical adventures of Lola Goreng, played by Ms. Gloria Romero, and her grandchildren Alice and Elvis, portrayed by Jillian Ward and David Remo who find themselves living with Moira, a child who they found on the streets, portrayed by Chlaui Malayao. Adding more magic to their story is Jorrel played by Julius Miguel.
Tagged as the "millennial lola" because of her previous roles, Ms. Gloria Romero is very pleased with the Network's trust on her. "I'm flattered kasi ako ay kinuha ulit sa ganitong klaseng concept na show. Who would have thought that at my age, I will play a role of a fairy, di ba? It's nice because light lang yung ginagawa namin. Ang cute, kasi nag eenjoy ako."
If you know Ms. Gloria Romero is already 83 years old and for that age she still can perform. She really loves acting. According to her she doesn't take any medications expect for her vitamins and for her vertigo. Other than that nothing, no maintenance.

In addtion, she commends how the kids show their love for their craft. " Sa totoo lang, itong mga batang kasama ko dito, ang gagaling. I can see their passion in acting. Minsan nahihiya nga ako kasi ako yung madalas magkamali. Sila, they can deliver their dialogues right away. Alam nila agad yung lines nila. They come to the set prepared. So, ako, nahihiya ako whenever nagkakamali ako," she says.
On the other hand, the kids are all smiles as they share their working relationship with the veteran actress.


Jillian said that she is inspired with her stories especially when it comes to work. "Tuwing break po namin sa set, nakakautwa yung stories ni Ms. Gloria kasi makakahanap ka talaga dun ng inspiration para mas pagbutihan mo pa yung work mo," the Kapuso child actress said.
While David states Ms. Gloria's playful side, " Si Lola, nakakatuwa kasi makulit din siya at nakikipagbiruan sa amin."
Meanwhile, Chlaui says she is overwhelmed with the simplicity and knidness of Ms. Gloria. "Nung una, nahihiya ako sa kanya pero super bait niya and simple sa maraming bagay."
Julius Miguel, however, says it is his dream come true to finally work with Tita Gloria. "I am amazed na naka-work ko na siya kasi dati nababasa ko lang siya sa magazines and napapanood sa movies. Kaya I'm very happy every taping namin."
Under the helm of Direk Rico Gutierrez and creative leaderhsip of its concept creator Agnes Gagelonio Uligan, Daig Kayo Ng Lola Ko will showcase different stories filled with values and lessons depicted in a playful manner that children and adults alike will love.

Marian Rivera is no doubt every Filipina’s #lifegoals. To start, she is married to top matinee idol, Dingdong Dantes to whom she shares her adorable daughter Zia with. She holds the title of Kapuso Primetime Queen, being the only actress in television history to have played all three iconic roles of Marimar, Darna, and Dyesebel. And who can forget the fact that she has millions of loyal followers and a beauty that gets her thousands of likes for every social media post.
Marian’s Eurasian features are best complemented with her sweet smile, but her most valuable asset is really her baby soft, smooth skin. You may blame good genes for that but according to the superstar herself, keeping her skin beautiful actually takes a lot of effort, especially since she is constantly exposed to thick makeup, heavy lights, and sleepless nights. So, how does a Marian Rivera keep skin perfect despite all these?

“Sa totoo lang, ang pinaka-importante talaga sa akin eh yung pinapanatili kong strong and healthy ang skin ko so it can keep up with the demands of my family and my career. That’s why I use products that provide moisture and deep nourishment like Johnson’s® Milk+Rice™ and Milk+Oats™. I believe that when your skin is strong and healthy, it’s easy to achieve beauty,” shared Marian.
This is true according to Dr. Loverna Arcilla Suratos, MD, FPDS, a guest resource speaker in the recently concluded Johnson’s® #Dadventures Camp media event held at Dusit Thani Manila. “More than aiming for cosmetic benefits such as whitening, it’s important to choose products that can nourish skin to make it strong and healthy. Strong skin is more resilient against harsh environments that can cause dryness or even scarring, possibly putting cosmetic efforts to waste,” she said. Marian Rivera swears on using Johnson’s® Milk+Rice™ and Johnson’s® Milk+Oats™ in keeping her and Zia’s skin in tip-top condition. Johnson’s® Milk+Oats™ contain avenamethrides, a naturally-occurring compound that protects skin against irritation. Oats are also known to specialize in healing dry and sensitive skin, bringing soap-damaged skin back to its natural, healthy state. Johnson’s® Milk+Rice™, on the other hand, is fortified with 200% more vitamins that works deep within the skin to provide long-lasting moisture, improving skin smoothness, softness, and suppleness with every use.

Get strong skin that stays baby soft and smooth like Marian and Zia with JOHNSON’S® Milk+Rice and JOHNSON’S® Milk+Oats. Available in leading supermarkets, drug stores, and department stores nationwide.

It is an artful interactive and fun experience at SM City North EDSA as they open the ART KARNIVAL. A fun place at SM City North EDSA where their exhibits invites people from all walks of life to experience art first hand.




This is no ordinary exhibit but it is one of Manila's hippest contemporary art galleries in partnerhsip with Vinyl on Vinyl. Instead of having the usual activities, SM City North EDSA initiates a different mall-going experience through  a voyage of discovery of the visual arts. SM City North EDSA supports young artists Anjo Bolarda, Bato, Blic, Garapata, Jeffrey Jay Jarin, Tyang Karyel, VOV Studio, and Whooop. This edgy initiative by SM City North EDSA hopes to spearhead a new appreciation of art in the north.


Each piece in this exhibit was carefully selected and placed in areas that would bring not only the art piece itself to life but the surrounding area as well. As mall-goers walk the meandering path, installations pop out at them, drawing their eyes to their surroundings, stimulating interest. This whimsical almost fantasy-like world perfectly complements Skygarden's tenants.


For mall-goers, this is going to be a fun day strolling around and spending the day at SM North EDSA seeing those different arts at Skygarden. For us, it will definitely another bonding moment. Hubby loves art very much and into it as well. He also does some paintings so he will for sure enjoy visiting this exhibit at SM North EDSA. My kids too will really appreciate the exhibit since their Daddy showed them how to appreciate, love and like art works.








So Mommies, bring your whole family at the SM North EDSA Skygarden for the Art Karnival Exhibit, it will be your bonding moment with them too while appreciating the artworks.



Come to SM City North EDSA's ART KARNIVAL at the Skygarden. The exhibit which runs the entire length of the Skygarden, showcases unique installation pieces by each featured artist curated specially for the space by Vinyl on Vinyl. The exhibit runs from April 21 to June 12, 2017.
