To be fit is easier said than done, some would say being fat or thin doesn't mean you are healthy. I am on the heavier side, but to be thin is not actually my greatest goal in life, I exercise because I want to pump up my body. Some would agree with me when I say doing the regular exercise routine is kinda boring, that's why many kinds of exercises were created now. Well as for me I am more interested in dancing while burning those calories, or anything that doesn't have to be repeated over and over again for a month or so. Here comes Subic Fitness Festival, this is actually a competition that's going to happen in Subic before this year ends, they partner with different fitness advocates here in Manila to teach us and let us experience the 24 disciplines of fitness. We opened two weeks ago running our third week now, and started with Circuit Warz, Urban Street Dancing and Meta Cap at FTX Gym in Makati.

Afternoons were traditionally used for nap times, but in this day and age, several telenovelas were able to break that tradition. And now another one will surely change the game in ABS-CBN's Kapamilya Gold time slot. Galema Anak ni Zuma, is a remake from those Zuma and Galema movies way back years ago, but this time it will be done on television. Direk Wenn V. Deramas is handling this project and personally chose Andi Eigenmann to portray Galema because he believes Andi is very talented and is always ready to do anything just to make this project successful. Galema will also be the comeback for the loveteam of Andi and Matteo Guidicelli, which started from the successful prime time bida teleserye Agua Bendita. So for the fans of these two, you are in for an afternoon treat. Galema will be airing on September 30 and will also be top billed by great actors and actresses. Another story that will surely surprise and make your afternoons more exciting.

Photo courtesy of Star Magic Ten years, this is how proud Erik was when we had the chance to have a quick interview with him during his photo shoot for his 10th Anniversary concert happening in November 9, at the PICC entitled "inTENse. He said he has a lot of surprises in store for everyone and what extremely excites him was having his special guests say yes to celebrating the event with him. "Give it your all, if you are not willing to give your whole heart and effort to your craft, don't even start to go there, kasi kung hindi ka sigurado, huwag mo na lang umpisahan kasi masasayang lang," His words when I asked him what advice he can give to aspiring singers. They will start rehearsing soon and will update this post when I get to have more information about the concert, but for now, you can start saving because for sure, this concert is worth your money.

Finally, I was able to watch this much talked about film and winner of several awards from the Cannes Film Festival. I must say, this movie blew me away. On The Job "OTJ": The movie is an eye opener for everyone, that there are a lot of kinds of illegalities happening around us, it's like there's more to just those pickpockets, kidnapping, rape, murder, and everyday news. It's another side of this world we live in. OTJ shows us the reality that in this country we live in, money is very very powerful, and politics is the way to having power. I can't imagine someone being killed and not be given due justice because the suspect can't be found anywhere. Why? Because they are really in jail and the one's in power have the ability to let them out just to finish a job order. I was completely bothered after watching the film, and with what's happening in our country today, issue on the Pork Barrel Scam, I wish and hope our current government is really seri...
