KadaKwento: 5 stories of friendship

being inside a group is fun. but each member has differences and stories. KadaKwento is a series of short clips about 5 friends. with differences that everyone has, they still have managed to meet in one spot where they all bind together.

this project is produced by Pelicola.tv and Globe and is released thru new media. so we can catch all episodes with just a click of the mouse at www.globe.com.ph/kadakwento

EPISODE 1: TRANSIT
Dani (Jen Chuaunsu) is an adventurous young traveler who constantly seeks for new adventures. Her story is told by every step she takes to and through various places. With each jouney, she makes it a point to take home a piece of her latest exploration. Dani’s wanderlust is driven by her desire to experience new things; to experience all things that she could. Throughout her travels and experiences, she constantly searches for the one treasure that she will hold dear forever.

EPISODE 2: PICK
Pol (Nicco Manalo) and Penny (Via Antonio) are best friends with contrasting personalities. The more level-headed Pol and the headstrong Penny submit themselves to constant friendly bickering that are resolved by a simple game of “Bato-Bato-Pick”. It is their differences that give their relationship such a strong foundation which result in an understanding all their own. Like constantly clashing children, they always emerge with one winner and loser but always still best of friends.

one last thing, you have to really watch EPISODE 2: PICK and watch for that unusual brand of chocolates by the counter at a convenience store. they are call Shurikan Bars. why Shuriken? found out here in these videos:

Total Relaxation (Spa and Movies: WHY NOT diba?)

with a lot of you've been doing, how can you still manage to go take a rest? people would say, RELAX, SEE A MOVIE. but isn't it also stressful going to the movie houses and you won't even be able to watch the movie as you wanted because of noises in the room? like when i watch Harry Potter and kids are making a lot of noises and keep asking their guardians why is it and why is that? i would say to myself, just watch the movie, you brats! now tell me, did i get a relaxing moment? no. and with all the work at the office, even while just sitting down is hard on the back. sometimes you get your eyes tired and your shoulders get pains. some stretches won't do if you got tons of load. in those times, i just wish that someone could give me a back rub or a little massage when i want to get the pain off.

but i want to get both perks at the same time. movies and back rubs combined! you think that's impossible? no, it exists! really! how? this is the new buzz. i came across this blog (http://techfilipino.com) about the new BlueWater Day Spa located in Ortigas and found out that they have developed a Spa Theater! a theater in a spa may have been off the track but the owners of this spa have made it possible for us. imagine, you are getting your muscles relaxed and your eyes satisfied with your favorite movie!

BlueWater Day Spa's Spa Theater has a 28-people capacity so you can have 27 of your friends and loved ones in one great party. i would like to have a game on this, i would ask 27 people who say they are "virgins" to touches, massage touch if i should specify on that. the ones with the funny bones or the komikeros and komikeras and we'll see who won't stand on a stroke on the foot, a little pressure within the waist area. hahaha i don't know if there's still people like that who are malakas ang kiliti. and then the funniest movie will be shown here:

what do you think? it's nice, right? but wouldn't you think that it's nice to have a movie party if you have Dolby Surround Sound 7.1 reception, a projection of about 160 inch-5 feet wide, while sitting on a Lazy Boy couch. whoa! ang sarap!

back on the game, everyone should give in to the pot money and stay focused and relaxed without laughing at a massage pressure. at mahahawa na ang lahat once may isang taong kakaiba ang hagikgik. the winner gets the pot money! of course, everybody will benefit from it too. katuwaan lang na walang tatawa sa masahe. (i think i'll lose this game in the middle. hehe)

what if, a date auction! hahaha.. never been to those kinds of events but i think it's fun. and then the bids will be used for charity para may good cause. a bundle of searchees will be paraded and the searcher with the highest bid will get the seachee for a date. sa private room pa ng spa. hahaha... may pumatol kaya sa gimik na to?

oh well, in case you want to know more about this new spa that people have been buzzing about, check out their website. and hope your imagination will overflow with ideas on how to spend your quality time there.

Ohmski's Blogline: now I understand what INDIE means

i came from Beverly Hills where stories are being told.

a very worthwhile experience for movie enthusiasts lalo na sa mga storytellers ang event na naganap nung sabado sa Marilou Diaz-Abaya Film Institute. storytellers because of the stories that everyone wants to share, to give ideologies, to appreciate. and that's what Mainstream Loves Indie's mission is. we were joined by exceptional filmmakers like of course, Marilou Diaz-Abaya (Jose Rizal, Muro-Ami), Laurice Guillen (Tanging Yaman), Mark Meily (Crying Ladies, Baler), wife Lee Meily (cinematographer), Tony Gloria (producer and Sharon Cuneta's discoverer), Sari Dalena (Rigodon), Tara Illenberger (Brutus) and Jim Libiran (Tribu).

so what is indie by the way? it is not our misconception that indie are just made by small time filmmakers. it's not. these big names said that making indies is in the manner of how you make it. kung halimbawa you are having a hard time with the resources at abunado ka pa sa mga props, etc., ganun ang indie. even Crying Ladies is an indie kahit nakapasok sya sa mga big film festivals at lalo na sa MMFF. there's a lot of obstacles for indie films alam nyo ba? especially with the distribution of the films they make. i also found out that most these people started sa advertising industry. so may relasyon pala ung post ko dito.

the whole experience was fun! shempre marami naman ako natutunan dun. and the institute was very welcoming and you will feel very at home. may i add, the dojo of the school is open for Art's sake. babayaran mo lang e P500 for each aircon electricity consumption. big deal dba? and i feel very at home. a filmshowing of some shorts from the students and concerts. masaya!

My Shopaholic Confession

hi i'm ohmski, and i'm a shopaholic.

i have this very impulsive instinct when it comes to shopping. usually when i get bored and i found that i have money in my wallet, i buy all stuff that i want. lately when i had received my christmas bonus, immediately i bought some shirts, shorts and my basic needs for my own pampering. of course, i needed to reserve some for stuff at home and this leads me to the shopping mecca of the philippines, divisoria!

usually every christmas season, me and my mom are going to divisoria and all is on me. we start by dropping off at reyne rejente's meisic mall and from there, i can already get best buys. then a little walk at 168 to divisoria mall even at the tutuban center. even while on the road i can stretch my money and getting the best items on sale. 

i love getting bargains and wholesale items as gifts for my godchildren and relatives. i still end up buying more stuff for me. no need to ask, it's my own money! but i still manage to get all nice stuffs for everyone on the list. i want to be like a Santa on christmas. but i consider factors for the items to give to my love ones. the quality is still number one. that's why i'm having my mom to shop with me because she can be my advisor if an item is good.

but still i end up tired going home because i have bags of clothes and gift items on both hands. even though my feet hurts, i still have another day and another day to sweep the next shopping destination... the mall.

eto ang di ko napansin nung una:

mga bagay na nakakagigil pero masarap gawin

nanggigil ka na ba? naramdaman mo na ba yung pakiramdam mo ay inis na inis ka at gusto mong may masaktan o masira? yung tipong mapapakagat-labi ka at mapapangiwi sa yamot at sa pwersang gusto mong ilabas. gusto mong mantiris, mang-hampas, manakal, manabunot, manuntok, manampal; halos pati sarili mo ay gusto mong saktan sa inis na parang lahat ng nasa paligid mo ay PESTE at walang lugar sa iyong mundo. hinihiling mo na sana kaya mong gawin lahat kahit maging si superman o batman, si wonderwoman o darna. kahit role ni maricel soriano, nora aunor, christopher de leon. isama na rin sina lolit solis, nadia montenegro, at iba pang lumabas sa TV na galit na galit. parang nuclear bomb ang usok sa iyong ilong at may dala-dalang mga armado sinapa pati ang mga spartan at mga elves na pare-parehong lalabanan ang orcs pero disappointed ka dahil piccolo lang at espada ni voltez v ang dala-dala mo. at pagkatapos mong ilabas ang iyong galit ay napakagaan ng iyong pakiramdam at gusto mo namang magpahinga.

narito ang ilang bagay na masarap gawin pero nakakagigil:

1. mantiris ng kuto - tatanggalin mo ang matatabang kuto mula sa anit pati na ang mga lisa. iipunin sila sa isang papel at sabay-sabay at lalabas ang madaming dugo sa papel.
   
2. paghiwalayin ang split ends - kahit anung suklay mo ay magpapakita pa rin ang tikwas ng iyong buhok at wala kang magagawa kundi bunutin ang buong buhok dahil kung hindi, magkakaroon ng isang hibla na alanganin sa haba ng iba pang buhok. ang nakakagigil ay pagkaliit-liit ng split end pero gusto mo syang paghiwalayin hanggang sa dulo ng hibla. pag hindi successful, hahanap ka ulit ng split end hanggang mawala nang lahat ng split ends sa ulo mo. e lahat ng buhok mo meron...
   
3. umapak ng ipis - nakakadiri sila. nakakatakot lalo na pag lumilipad. ayaw na ayaw mong mapalapit sa kanila pero pag nagkaroon ka ng pagkakataong ihinto ang kanilang pakikibahay sa iyo, hahabulin mo sila hanggang sa kasuluk-sulukan at hahampasin ng tsinelas at tatawa ng parang demonyo habang nagsasabing: "Die, EPEZ, DIIIIIIEEEEEEE!" at ititwist mo pa ang paa mo para lumabas ang mga natitirang itlog at dugong mala-berde at parang nana. (bakla pala ipis noh? hahaha)
   
4. tanggalin ang dry pimples, black heads at white heads - bad ang gawaing ito ayon sa mga derma. pero minsan di mo maiwasang kutkutin ang mukha mo. masakit lalo na pag hinog na hinog ang pimple mo na parang tumor sa laki at nagbeberde na rin ang nana. magugulat ka habang binibigkas ang mga katagang: "it's ALIVE! IT'S ALIIIIIVE!" so wala ka nalang magawa kundi hintayin ang pagtuyo nito with proper care at pagkatapos pag natuyo na ang pimple ay ready mo na pigain ang mala-bigas na bagay. yun nga lang, mukha ka nang buwan at magkakaroon ka pa ng peklat.
   
5. pumatay ng lamok - masarap gawin pag gabi lalo na kung mainit at malamok. lalo na siguro pag brownout. makaramdam ka lang ng kati e hahanapin mo ang bampirang nananaba sa iyong dugo at gagawa ka ng paraan para hindi na sya makapambiktima pa ng iba. pag natigil sya sa isang mukha, hinay-hinay mong itatapat ang iyong kamay para biglang IHAMPAS ang iyong kamay at lalabas ang dugong dmo na mababawi. nagkaroon ka pa ng bagong kaaway -- ang nasampal mo ng hindi sinasadya.

Ohmski's Blogline: Bloggers eat Super Bowl of China

another pig-out moment for me and other bloggers last night as Yehey and Super Bowl of China unveils to us their new servings, the Crispy Mandarin Chicken, Seafood Chopsuey,Tao Sa Pao and Lechon Macau. these four unique selections are only available for a limited time and goes with Super Bowl's all time favorites: Deep Fried Cuttlefish with Spicy Salt, Yang Chow Fried Rice, Hunan Tofu, Crispy Shrimp w/ Sweet & Sour Sauce, Fish Fillet with Taosi Sauce, Sweet and Sour Pork, Honey Glazed Pork Ribs, Sliced Beef with Brocolli, Szechuan Shrimp, Golden Shanghai Chicken, Steamed Fish Fillet w/ Garlic, assorted dimsum, roasts, rice toppings, and desserts.

clockwise from top left: Crispy Mandarin Chicken, Seafood Chopsuey, Tao Sa Pao and Lechon Macau

we have got the chance to see how these very tempting foods are made as Mr. Bob Vallar, the MK Director of Big Buddha Restaurant, took us per batch at the kitchen and introduced us to Chef Mike and Chef Roy, the head chefs for Super Bowl of China. Chef Roy showed us how to make the Crispy Mandarin Chicken while Wok Chef, Chef Mike demonstrated a little on making the Seafood Chopsuey. though the temperature was a little high inside the kitchen, the information was priceless. a little tip on deep-frying : if you are to deep-fry and wanting to check if the oil is hot enough, use a dry chopstick and dip it in the oil. if bubbles come out of the chopstick, then it's ready for use.

Chef Roy and Chef Mike on demo

as a group goes into the kitchen, the rest of the bloggers are in contest mood pimping their personal bowl. art materials are provided and just let the bloggers squeeze the creative juice to design the humble bowl. and as everyone is busy with the bowls, food just kept coming in until we surrendered. haha!

Z from top left: materials, my design, the contestants, the winners

the night ended with the announcement of winners for Most Creative, Most Original Design and Most Festive. congrats to the winners. and lastly, everyone did not go home without a bag to carry as the hosts handed out 2 boxes of treat: a Christmas ham and roasted chicken! how generous is that for a blog event? thanks to Yehey and Super Bowl of China. love 'em and hoping to see you again on your next event!

Super Bowl of China branches are located at the 2nd level Glorietta 4, Ayala Center, Makati City; 3rd Level Chefs Avenue Festival Mall, Alabang; 2nd level SM City North Edsa, Quezon City; 3rd level Gateway Mall Araneta Center Cubao, Quezon City; Ground floor SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City; M1 Activity Center Trinoma Mall North Edsa, Quezon City; Ground floor Midtown Wing of Robinsons Place Manila; Ground floor Bluewave Marquinton Mall, Marikina City; and at the affiliated Big Buddha Restaurant located at the 2nd level of Greenbelt 3 in Ayala Center, Makati City. And watch out for the Grand Reopening of Super Bowl of China at the 4th level of SM Megamall’s newest wing in Mandaluyong City coming very soon!

bakit kaya kada mag-oopen ako ng Plurk, katakot-takot na alerts ang nakikita ko. tapos nakakasama pa ng loob ng minsan wala pang nagreply sa plurks ko. ang sarap tuloy mag-mute. si kumpareng ping.fm naman nagf-flood ng mga plurks nya.

nagresign na si Villar. bahala sya. pero bakit si Enrile?

goodluck kay Pacman. nga pala, may link si cheftonio na virtual game related sa laban nila ni Dela Hoya sa december. sino manonood sa sine at PPV? basta walang magtetext sakin kahit delayed ang telecast ha!

mamaya manonood ako ng mall tour ni Michael Johns. sa mga fans dyan ng AI alumnus, kita-kits tayo dun. sana makapag-photo op ako.

wala pa kong Christmas wish list. pero utang na loob, bakit naman "workers" ang theme ng Christmas Party ngayon! ang hirap maghanap ng costume! uulitin ko na naman ba ang tubero costume ko 3 years ago? wala pa ring exchange gifts. at mukhang hectic ang sked ko this december a. after Christmas e maghohotel ata kame ng family somewhere. aba, bongga! pero shempre share kame ng ate ko. (hoy dapat lang!) at lagare naman ako sa Nasugbu ulit with officemates. baby shower sa aming pinaka-balahurang Batista-fan na si jouie. krung krung, kita-kits tayo after Christmas. wag na gift, magni-ninong na lang ako. pero para sa baby yun, hindi sayo. lol

ohmski sits on the green backseat

Blogger widgets are so amazing. and thus, i welcome The Green Backseat to my blogroll and he will be updated on my posts, news, etc. a new online friend for me. i don't know what reason he has to follow my blog but it is a great honor to get in touch.

he says:

i am a hopeless romantic. i am a sucker for the written word. i like shakespeare, as much as madonna or xtina. i curse, weep and howl. but i also smile the sweetest of smiles and bellow ear-shattering laughters. i am a connoisseur of visual and aural feasts--of all things ethereal and sublime ; ghastly and profane. i am a son. a brother. a loyal friend. a doting uncle. i am a librarian who enjoys pigging-out on his fave food in silence. i am butter melting deliciously on your tongue. a camera-whore who flirts with the lens on like, a regular basis. i am yoga-smitten, lara, too. i live in the present, and jazz is my religion; but i am a schemer just the same--i plan, i execute...i dare to live in waking dreams. i am tragedy and success. i am beauty and ugliness. shadow and light. agony and ecstasy. cold as ice, hot as fire. take a deep breath... i am gentle. pleased to meet you!

bahala na kayo.

i'm a Nuffnanger but i don't know how to use it

i've signed up for another "money-making" blog community and i think i'm doing pretty well for a starter. i cannot concentrate on it much because of the "OMG-i-had-a-lot-of-accounts-to-maintain" sickness. getting more webhits is not a major concern for now but i wish those webhits could be converted to cash! i imagine that i got more than 12000 views from my multiply, whoa! i can pay my credit card! i also installed this map application and i'm surprised that i have visitors from America and Europe. so there's a little pressure on me to post mainly English stuff trying to beat inday. do you think i'm doing good?

this post's main objective is to share that i have visitors from abroad. as i've checked on my Nuffnang, here's the breakdown. (i think the Phil breakdown mostly came from me. LOL)

but wan't it amazing? i know i'm not that big time blogger but this makes me feel grateful. i wonder who might those be. in case you are reading this, i'd be very happy to hear something from you.

Ohmski's Blogline: Pantene satisfaction in 3 Minutes!

last Friday was another night for me to remember. Pantene hosted this night for bloggers and offered the experience their latest product: the new Pantene 3-Minute Miracle treatment. why 3-minutes? it can restore your 3-month damaged hair in as fast as 3 minutes! all of us won't believe it at first and would say, only a miracle could do that. thus, Pantene 3-Minute Miracle gave us a new gift that would fix all hair problems, again, in just 3 minutes! me, as a Pantene user myself, is also curious to try this out.

everything went well and all is done, 3 minutes by 3 minutes. the program started with a 3-minute countdown, i ate all everthing in my plate in 3-minutes (joke! and another set of food from the TasteAsia buffet which i enjoy everytime, thank you very much), and i would even give a testimony that Pantene really worked in 3 minutes! i have alex, rio and even my sister with her officemates who won the "Pantene version" of Pinoy Henyo. i'm so proud of her. the game was already a give-away. guess what's behind your back in the shortest time for 3-minutes. it's cool that the only thing left to guess was the product itself. it's even better when you say it right.

one of the highlights of the night was when Judy Ann Santos arrived. i am a confessed Juday fan and i'm so happy that she went to the event. but i felt bad that we have no photo souvenir together. lucky for azrael and joriben, two online friends to be able to take pictures with her.

Juday narrates her experience with the whole advertising campaign and she too is amazed that Pantene 3-minute Miracle Treatment worked for her. so she vouches for this product for everyone to try.

the night closed with live bands especially with Pinoy Dream Academy contender, RJ Jimenez that serenaded all guests with hits for the heart and songs for the soul.

in short, na-starstruck talaga ako. hahaha

take me to my roots

i have wondered how i came to being. of course, there's the fact that i have my parents and grandparents. but beyond that, i have no more information of my genealogy. i knew as my mom told me that my grandpa has become a councilor of Marikina. and i happen to be cousins with the current Marikina representative, Del de Guzman. the Dela Paz clan, which my mother's roots happen to fall into, is a very big group in Marikina. i'm sorry that i didn't have to know our relatives i don't know our connection with the Legaspi actors (Zoren, Kier) but she also said that we are on the third degree of kinship. sometimes i want to assume that it is true but i'd like to trace our connection. maybe i got this "celebrity potential" too. ;)

i sometimes wondered if i have foreign roots, from which branch of the family tree did i get my physical features, how my ancestors look like, what they do when they were still alive. i also want to ask them, how do they spend their leisure time and what do they eat. time has left this information and most of us don't even try to take a look back on our ancestry.

so i signed up with this website i found for genealogy and try to trace back my ancestors. will i get my connection with celebrities? historical figures, maybe Jose Rizal or some Chinese business tycoon?

hirap pala mag PayPerPost

kelangan ko na talagang pagkakitaan itong pagboblog na ito. so i signed up to many sites where they can give you revenue from blogging and one of which is PayPerPost.

nahirapan talaga ako actually nung una kung pano gagamitin to. kala ko they will send topics for me to blog. yun pala, they are opening opportunities and you should be reserving them as they appear. e ayun, swerte naman sa unang post ko at na-approve naman. i am expecting a $5 revenue from that post. e nung mga sumunod nang opportunities, mabilis nauubos ang reservations. ayos sana ang mga topics at para na rin may magawa ako in my spare time para makapag-blog.

so kelangan nosebleed ang mga post mo dun kasi US-based ata ung mga clients mo for blogging. pero kelan ko kaya makukuha yung $5 na yun? hehehe...

Ohmski's Blogline: Oktoberfest '08 at TasteAsia MOA

by the way, mang-i-inggit muna ako ha. i've been attending to these kind of events kasi, first of all, LIBRE FOOD. thanks to TasteAsia for that wonderful treat always. lagi na lang kayo may plugging after every eveny. but everytime i go to TasteAsia, i really enjoy every experience. i think it's always a different set of buffet. nahihiya lang ako bumalik.

next, ANOTHER EB ito with other bloggers. first time to meet gneth from multiply and she had with her, jhuly. we had a bunch of topics to talk about and that includes other multiply users. malamang, dun kame nagkakila-kilala e. we even dreamt of holding an event for us multiply users pero cguro dpa masyadong bigtime. maybe an invitation to users within the MegaManila area muna. kung may sasama, go lang ha. wanna help with organizing? even saw my sisters officemates at the event. nice meeting you guys. i have also met, vera (aka trinalabandera and halavera) with a couple of Greenpinoy'ers. ang saya nilang tignan.

third, MAY FREEBIES PA! mantakin mo, nagpa-register ka lang, pumunta ka sa MOA on a typical gimik-night, free concert with Moonstar 88, libre kain at nag-uwi pa kame ng gift pack from SMB! aba magkano kaya ang ginastos ng SanMig at TasteAsia para malibre kame lahat? even lex won stuff from the raffle. nakakainis lang nung sunud-sunod na number e number ko ang nasa gitna. ako lang ata hindi natawag. grrr...

sayang sa mga hindi naka-attend. we hope that there's a halloween party. i wanna see guys again IN COSTUME! hahaha.. basta ako prepared na, just waiting for the announcement kung meron mang halloween party.

I FEEL SO SIKAT! (you know, hahaha...)
as always, you see photobloggers lurking in these kind of events showing off their DSLRs to others. (lol joke lang. e camera phone lang kasi meron kame nun kaya low-quality ang mga photos namin.) and then there's this Chinese blogger na biglang lumapit sakin, "Pwede magpa-picture?" i thought na magpapapicture sya kasama ng friends nya at ako ang hahawak ng camera. yun pala ako ang gusto nya kasama sa picture! wahahaha.. blog celebrity? ako? no way! alam kong sumikat at blockbuster ang blog ko minsan pero i never imagined na may magpapapicture kasama ako. hahaha... si Tanggera yun. nice meeting you. kasi ako daw yung nanalo sa Trinoma Blogger Food Tour photo contest. e gusto nya i-document na i was there also. so aminin ko na, na-flatter ako sa ganung approach sakin. next time nga makagawa na ng scandal. hahaha.. (not to mention my jaywalking incident.)

almost 2AM (what?!) nako nakauwi. nag-enjoy talaga ako sobra.
