What's up Philippines

I was invited to attend an event for the Neutrogena brand and was hosted and newly endorsed by the very beautiful Kim Jones (Jericho Rosales' Fiance) Meeting her made me understand more why Jericho loved her, she was so nice and witty and super fun to be with during this event.   I admit... This was the first line of a sentence where there was a mini activity room during the Neutrogena event.  My answer? I admit to not using moisturizers and lotion. Why? Because I felt like it's too sticky and greasy, yup might be the exact words from TV ads but it does happen in real life. Even before I am not really a fan, aside from the fact that I think it takes much of my time to apply them, the feeling discomforts me, I also tried, really really tried to love it and make it a habit, but it doesn't really work for me. But it all changed during this Neutrogena day. Maybe it's true, that you really must search for a product that fits you because not every TV ad you watch will exac...

It has been a long talk in and out of showbiz: The rift between the former best of friends Kim and Maja, even their fans on social media also had their share of disgusting words used against their idols. But here's a post of Ogie Diaz that made everyone curious. For real? Are they okay now? If yes. that is very good news indeed, Hope everything's well for both ladies and also with Gerald Anderson. I think this happened tonight on the thanksgiving party of Dreamscape, one of ABS-CBN's business unit team. Basing of course from the tweets of bothe Eric John Salut and Ogie Diaz even tagging both Kim and Maja on tweeter. Healing takes time, their friendship may not be the same as before but at least they did the first step in restoring it.

Was tonight the confirmation of Sarah Geronimo and Matteo Guidicelli's relationship? Instagram photos and videos made waves in public as both Sarah and Mattero showed that action speaks louder than words. And just as everyone is too happy and giggling about the unfolding of this love story, Mommy Divine (Sarah's mom) was present during this celebration. Could this be the start of a happily ever after for the pop princess? We hope so too =)  InstaVid CTO: Monique

Photo taken from FP The other day, Maja Salvador had a press album launch for her album "Believe" and of course Press people would love to get straight answers from artists on such events.

I might have the best wife and daughter award after the purchase. Lol! So anyway, I tried to first purchase the perfume, I thought it would ...
