Can we live now without internet? In this digital age, people depend most of the time through social medias. Living without internet, that's almost like living in the Dark Ages. As much as we have to admit it, we eat, breath, and live our lives on the internet and the only time we go offline is when we need to get some sleep. Yah, I admit it.

Even in expressing our feelings, specially our loved to someone is as easy as 123.  We even manage most of our relationships online, and for a lot of people, those "likes" and "comments have become a gauge of their friendships.

With that, I have so many realization after watching "Ang Babaeng Allergic Sa Wifi". Cignal Entertainment, the new original content division of Cignal, in partnership with the Idea First Company and OctoberTrain Films, presents a fresh look at love in the digital age with "Ang Babaeng Allergic sa Wifi"

When a teenage girl develops an allergy to Wi-Fi, she is forced to live in a remote province, pushing her to reevaluate her relationships and the boy she believes is her one true love.

The movie stars Sue Ramirez, Markus Peterson, Jameson Blake and its directed by Award winning Director Jun Robles Lana.

"What interested me most about the idea, when I came across a 2009 news report about a British mn who was allergic to Wi-Fi, is the opportunity to explore the underlying sadness and emptiness of modern relationships," shares Director Jun Robles Lana.

"Nowadays, with the advances of technology, no matter where we go, it's so easy to get in touch with our loved ones. But a lot of our correspondence has also been reduced to emojis and likes and superficial interactions online. What happens if the technology that's supposed to connect you to the whole world suddenly isolates you literally and take away your freedom and the life you once lived and knew.

The movie really hit the millennial, I myself is also a millennial. After watching the movie, since it's about the love life of teenagers, I miss one thing, I miss the old ways of courting the girls, and especially when both of you are officially in a relationship. The love letters, the stuff toys, the visits, the date without gadgets, the HHWW (Holding Hands While Walking) those are the things I misses the most. The hardship of the guy to visit the girls in their houses just to court or see him personally, those are the things that makes kilig to both who are in love with each other. Well, when millennials have finally watch it they will surely agree with me.

Let's talk about the acting of the stars of "Ang Babaeng Allergic Sa Wi-Fi".

First, Sue Ramirez, you nailed it girl! The role is so perfect for you, and acting wise you give justice to the character. You Make Norma a strong girl to face everything just for love. Keep it up.

Markus Paterson, Good Job boy! Though it was your first acting opportunity, still we didn't see that your a newbie in this movie. Your acting is superb. You make Leo faced the hardship of showing your love to your loved ones, forgive and to give way.

You make Aries character be longed by so many girls. A boyfriend or loved one like you to have in their lives.

Margaux (Norma's friend)Girl you're noticeable here in the movie because you make Margaux hate because of what you did to Norma. The role is also perfect for you.

When I attended the Press Conference of the movie Mr. & Mrs. Cruz, I told to my self that I will watch this movie not just because it's created by the same writer and director who gave the Kita Kita movie but because the location of the movie is in Palawan.  This is one of the places that I love very much and I just want to reminisce my memories during my stay in this wonderful island. That was when I was still working.

Wish answered and I did it. I was able to watch the movie and take note I watched it with my hubby.  There were so many #hugotlines (emotional quotes or quotable quotes) in the movie and there were also issues about relationships. Love really conquers all, even yourself are conquered and it really affects your individuality and personality. The whole you is affected. The ideas and thoughts about Commitment, Marriage and Love are all ingredients in this movie, an issues addressed and trying to cope to answer questions about it.
In the movie, both Gela and Raffy are brokenhearted individuals who are looking for the right answer for all the things that happened to them, the reasons and the answer to the whys. The story gave a definite realization on both of the characters, they achieved what they want to know and a good lead to where they are supposed to heading. There are so many issues that were touched by the movie and I think millennials and even the gen x will surely learn a lesson or two.

The story is beautiful and there are so many quotes that can be use and share, some of them are "Nakita ko na si Nemo!", "Basta kulot salot.", "Di ko na kelangan mag-kape, makita lang kita nag-papalpitate na ang puso ko.", "Alin ang mas masakit yong iniwan ka sa araw ng kasal or after ng kasal.", and more.





This movie is for those who needs closure and to move on from the relationship that they have. Very simple yet it pierce through the heart. The lines were interesting enough and so are the characters throwing the lines at each other.
The place, who wouldn't love Palawan. This is the place that I want to go back again and again. There's a local saying there that once you've been there you'll always long to go back and they coined it as "Come back, come back". I've been there with my ex boyfriend turned out to be my hubby now, so it is really memorable. I really love the spots they had the shoot and what's great is that it was taken from an aerial view. It will definitely attract more tourists and local travelers.

Overall it is a great movie in this era. Kudos to all the people behind the creation of this movie!

When was the last time that we feel the true Kilig in our life? The happiest day that you've been together with your love one? The sweetest day every time you see each other?

Well, those were questions I reflected on the movie that I watched "Suddenly It's Magic". The movie tells the true meaning of "in love". Most of us experienced those "in love" moments in our life.

The movie "Suddenly It's Magic" is directed by Rory B. Quintos which starred by Erich Gonzales and Mario Maurer.  The movie is about a love story created out of a brokenhearted pastry maker and a foreign actor who seeks a quiet life.  It's a different feel of story and different attack on how the story would go.

In the movie, Erich and Mario portrayed their characters Joey and Marcus pretty good, since they are still in their young age, they sure make people Kilig in every part of the movie. They sure have the chemistry, and they feel the intensity of being in love together.

The places that they have been adds up to the spices of the movie.  Their shoot in Ilocos and somewhere in Thailand makes the whole scene much more interesting and romantic.   It's really fun in the Philippines, Hahaha!  Well, there was one shot that was shown on a different angle which shows the sweetest day in their life as girlfriend and boyfriend.

Just like in most movie that hits the public, there are these quotable quotes to make the movie even more interesting.  Thus, gives a plus value on the movie and even make moviegoers goes kilig to the bones.  

One of the "quotable quote" that I remember was when Marcus told Joey "I want to kiss you now....".  That was the time that they became girlfriend and boyfriend.  Most of the teenager that will watch this movie will learn more or get some ideas on how to express their love in a right time.

It is not just love and kilig moments but there are also lot of things to learn in the movie, just reflect and feel it.  It tackles all about love, sacrifices, and values.

Aside from Mario and Erich, Suddenly It's Magic is also stars by Joross Gamboa, Kakai, Bautista, Dionne Monsanto, Joy Viado, Guji Lorenzana, Ces Quesada, Dinkee Doo, Jestoni Alarcon, John Lee and Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul.

This movie hit the big screen last October 31, 2012.

Having a chance to make a review of the movie wouldn't be possible if I were not invited to this block screening so I would like to give thanks to the Ericholics and Mario Maurer Phils for having me in this event.

Another indie film that hits the mainstream, Bwakaw is a critically-acclaimed first independent film by Jun Robles Lana. The film recently won the Best Actor Award (Eddie Garcia), Audience Choice Award, and the Netpac Awards in the Director’s Showcase Category in the 8th Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival.

Bwakaw is a movie that I’ve thought of about greediness but I was intrigue and curious because the film is a drama-comedy. It tells a story of an old man named Rene who looks forward of his death. He thinks that it is too late for him to feel love and all that is to look forward to is death. Rene has a dog named Bwakaw, who follows him wherever he goes. Bwakaw is Filipino slang for greed.

For an average viewer who’s not well aware of the present issues in the society, this movie will be just another sad and funny movie to watch and enjoy but for those who truly knows what is happening this could be an eye-opener and a lesson as well.

I would rate this movie a well rounded good for story and great for their acting.

Aside from Garcia and Princess, the dog, “Bwakaw” also stars Rez Cortez, Gardo Versoza, Bibeth Orteza, Soxie Topacio, Allan Paule, Joey Paras, Beverly Salviejo, Soliman Cruz, Bibeth Orteza, Luz Valdez, Jonathan Neri, May-I Fabros, and Ms. Armida Siguion-Reyna. “Bwakaw” hits cinemas nationwide on September 5, 2012.

A few days ago I get a chance to watch an unusual love story.  It's not a typical romance movie where you can find cute love story of a couple but a love story that is unique because of its lightness.  No heavy drama and not too much comedy.  It just got the right amount of emotional mixes.

The movie is entitled "Just One Summer" where things happened during that particular summer in a typical Pinoy country side setting.   A place where farming is the source of income.  "Just One Summer" not just tells the story of romantic love but also about family.  The different family relations. 

Though the story is just light, the main characters portrayed by Elmo Magalona and Julie Anne San Jose came out just perfectly nice.   The story was an open-end where you can continuously think of different endings.

The movie was produced by GMA Films under the direction of Mac Alejandre, “Just One Summer". 

I am not very fond of watching suspense-horror movies, though I don't scream that much but because the movie was from the Star for All Season, Governor Vilma Santos, I decided to give this suspense-horror movie a try.

From the title of the movie “The Healing” or by just reading it would give you an impression that the movie was about the healers or the faith healers which most of the unfortunate people goes to whenever they feel sick or with a health problem. It's because this is the only alternative that they have to cure their illnesses and for the fortunate ones this is the other way to heal their health condition.

Since I'm not well versed with different suspense-horror movies I might just have to inject my observation regarding the movie. First, I'm not really sure about the relationship of the crow in healing but it sure does makes a creepy idea about it. Second, the scene of the doppler ganger showing up was something likely in the movie “Feng Shui”. Perhaps it was influenced by that since Chito Rono was the director. Third, it has an interesting story line and perhaps according to my level of knowledge about horror and suspense. Fourth and the last, the movie was color coordinated. Over all, it was a great suspense-horror movie to watch for.

“The Healing” has two ratings, the PG13 and R18. This gives you, movie goers, more freedom on which version to watch. If you feel like watching the obscene and gory part of the movie, then take the R18 and if go with the PG13.

“The Healing” was starred by Governor Vilma Santos and together with Kim Chiu, Martin Del Rosario, Mark Gil, Allan Paule, Cris Villanueva, Daria Ramirez, Ces Quesada, ynez Veneracion, Simon Ibarra, Abi bautista, Joel Torre, Chinggoy Alonso, Mon Confiado, and Carmi Martin, Pokwan, and Ms. Janice De Belen and was directed by Chito Rono under Star Cinema.
