Avengers and Marvel fans unite at SM Cinema for Infinity War

Marvel fans assemble at the SM Megamall Cinema lobby to get a first look on the most-awaited Marvel movie of the year, Avengers: Infinity War, that will arrive in theaters April 25.

Cosplayers and avid movie goers had a feast for everything Marvel -- my mom and I are fangirling and fanboying on these awesome cosplayers and the gears are amazing. The biggest cosplay was Thanos that stands around 6ft and in the details were on point.

With Ant-Man

With Spider-Man

With Quicksilver

With Captain America and Doctor Strange

When we entered the cinema, we really don't have a clue of what's going to happen aside from just watching the Marvel event in Singapore. But lest that we knew that we will be also get a closer encounter with Anthony Russo (director of Avengers: Infinity War) along with Karen Gillan (Nebula) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange) via Skype call!

Anthony Russo (Director)

Karen Gillan (Nebula)

Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange)

We were really surprised to see them on screen and they were so jolly as they entertain questions from avid fans. They love the Filipino fans and some time they wish to be here too. We knew that Robert Downey Jr. was with them too but he was entertaining another interview on the side. It's still good since this was a rare time to see them and conduct some interview.

I also got a chance to win a Doctor Strange table display from Petron's raffle and you can collect all 5 featuring Iron-Man, Captain America, Hulk, and Thor. Many of us also won tickets to see Avengers: Infinity War from Globe.

Thank you SM Cinema for this wonderful experience!

HOOQ Hangouts: Mano Po 7 Chinoy

Spent the night of February 4 with a few friends which I haven't seen in a long time. I can again feel that I am back to the blogging world and happy to be with missed friends.

And we went to the Globe Iconic Store at Bonifacio Global City where there is a huge screen playing videos. I was in HOOQ Hangouts which they've done more than three times now. And for that night, they are playing Mano Po 7: Chinoy for free at the big screen for everyone to see. It was just after Chinese New Year so the place is adorned with Chinese lanterns, blossoms and ang paos, and serving Chinese delicacies for us to feast in.

Later on, Jean Garcia and Richard Yap graced the event before we started the screening. The movie came back to theaters on February 8.

But the movie is already available at the HOOQ app for streaming. HOOQ lets you watch more than 10,000 TV series and movies online. All you need is a laptop, tablet or even your smart phone and you can watch anywhere, anytime. Here are available HOOQ plans from Globe:

HOOQ is also ad-free, features both local and international productions, and you can opt to cancel your membership with no hidden charges. I'm starting to download HOOQ so I can enjoy movies and TV shows while offline. I hope you can try it too.

since Christmas is not only celebrated in the Philippines, this event will also be held in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. so our kababayans will also join Manila in opening gifts at the same time. this event is supported by local mobile networks, Hong Kong CSL, Taiwan Mobile and SingTEL in Singapore. calling is very affordable with Globe and through these networks with the cheap rates they offer.

the event schedule for December 18 is as follows:
10 AM - registration
12 NN - opening of gates
330PM - gift giving and opening of gifts

there's no amount requirement for the gifts that you're going to give. just be generous enough to bring the good cheer to the other participants this Christmas. the current holder of this record is ITV from UK with only 1,600 participants -- but we Filipinos, like to grab it all. the current registration is already 3,500. but if you invite your OFW relatives, we can surpass the record not just twice but even more!

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:
