Last May 16, the CEO Group of Companies holds its 40th year anniversary at the District 8 bistro in Greenhills, San Juan City. It celebrated the company's dedication in raising up gentlemen's power and confidence through clothing and looking back to humble beginnings with their first brand Sahara and grew with more brands Arrow, Izod, Van Heusen, Wall Street, Ultimo, Criterion, CEO+ and Espada.
Benito & Huy Kun Lim, CEO Group of Companies' head, recalls their hardships that includes 10 machines and limited people and later on grew to a clothing empire. “We began with a small-volume set-up producing ladies’ blouses, then eventually switched to school uniforms, which we sold to department stores under the brand name “Sahara,” he said. From there and penetrating the largest malls nationwide, the name Sahara has become the leader in men's wear and executive fashion.

Models walked in pride wearing Arrow, Wall Street, Izod, Van Heusen, Espada, Ultimo, and Criterion.

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!

Incredible trailer for the Incredibles 2!

Disney and Pixar is making new waves in the release of the trailer of The Incredibles 2!
In this new adventure, our favorite superhero family balances work and homemaking as Bob was left with the kids as Elastigirl takes off to fight crime with a new villain. Watch the trailer below:


Awesome and incredible is definitely how to put it and here are a few takes on the trailer:

Violet gets control as a bigger sister for Dash, teaching him about proper table manners.

Felt poor for Bob when his ego was stepped on as the government solely chooses Elastigirl for the job.

New house, new life! Dash loves mom's new job.

Bob's parenting skills which many can relate to.

There's Edna Mode, darlings. Nuff said.

And at least we know now that Frozone already knows where to find his supersuit.

Watch The Incredibles 2 in theaters this June!

A QUIET PLACE movie review

If you are not fond of silent movies, you will love how genius A Quiet Place is. This thriller with John Krasinski and Emily Blunt gets you still in your seats and will have you motionless for about 95 minutes throughout the duration of the movie.
These are the reasons why this brilliant picture should be watched by thrill seekers:

1. The deafening silence is riveting. From the beginning of the movie up to its end, you will be in a quiet setting that you won't dare make a sound.
2. You are not safe with a small movement or a shriek from your seat. It is also very much advisable for you to turn off your cellphone or into airplane mode so any sound will not

3. Demogorgons and aliens combined. Stranger Things and Aliens movie fans can clearly see what I am talking about when they see the movie starting April 11.
4. Everybody is in unison with their reactions to what's happening in the movie. Simple shots and events in the lives of the Abbotts introduce danger that would give the same reaction to the faces of each viewer.

5. John Krasinski and Emily Blunt are quiet great parents.
6. This movie would be a great video game franchise including the story background. Just like Sims only scarier and intense, dark and exciting.

See A Quiet Place and #StayQuiet in cinemas starting April 11.
