Last May 5, 2014, So It's You bloggers conference was held at the Imperial Palace in Timog, Q.C.  It was an afternoon of great talk and intimate discussion with the stars Carla Abellana and Tom Rodriguez.  They were very accommodating in answering questions from us, the bloggers.



For Carla and Tom, this is their first ever romantic comedy film and their first movie together.   Carla played the character of Lira who is a bubbly person but couldn't get over from the heartache that she experienced while Tom played the character of Goryo who is a shoemaker who wants to move on with his life. Both of them were brought together by their misfortunes in love. Lira was dumped and left behind during their wedding day while Goryo is a single dad.



During the conference, Carla shared that her character Lira was very far different from her personality which is hard for her to portray the character.  She even disclosed that her character Lira is all out when fall in love but Carla on the other hand makes reservation. 



For Tom, his role with My Husband's Lover was a blessing and a wonderful opportunity for him plus a great leap for his acting career. He even shared that he auditioned for his role in My Husband's Lover. Tom was very thankful for all the blessings and he was thankful that So It's You was one of them.


The movie is directed by Jun Lana, a critically-acclaimed director of Bwakaw and Barber's Tales. According to them the material was first created before the cast.



We all know the love and heartache story of Carla but no one knows what's the story  behind during the making of the movie.  Though going through with the negative side of love, her performance in the film showed no trace of what she's going through while shooting. 

Thank goodness that it's holiday, Independence Day as most of the workers enjoy the day of resting and taking the time off. For me, it is also a time off from my duty as a mom for a bit. Jollibee and Man of Steel was able to provide this Mom a chance to have a great movie time. Though I'm not a very much of a fan of Superman I definitely know the character and how the story goes. I was thankful that my hubby of Kwento Ni Toto was with me to explain some of the details about the story.


Of course a movie would not be complete without something to eat and drink so since Jollibee was our sponsor for this great movie experience we got some goodies to enjoy while watching the movie. But before the movie started there were some explanations and promotions of what Jollibee offers like the bucket of Chickenjoy for only Php575 with the Man of Steel pictures and designs outside of the bucket, of course for the kids and kids-at-heart is the The Man of Steel action figure and other items which is included in every Jollibee Kids Meals.




When the movie started I was really got lost because of the way it was pictured out. I did noticed some familiar scenes but most of it are not as I pictured it once. Good thing that hubby was there and was able to explain some of the stories that I don't understand. Over all, I like it as it presented a different view of the story but for those who really knows the ins and out of the story perhaps you wouldn't appreciate it much but I'm sure you'll like it.

Thanks to Jollibee for that great afternoon, a movie experience that I enjoyed and most especially on a holiday.
