Last Saturday, May 12, 2012 - Together with Philippine Street Fashion writer, Rabsin Dela Cruz, I was able to attend and join this Summer's most beneficial event, Ang Summer ni Juan, A Fashion Show for A Cause at the Celebrity Grand Ballroom of Montebello Villa Hotel. The affair was the culminating or the finale of Limelight Male Model Management on their Male Modeling Workshop done in the past weeks. It staged Summer masterpieces of Cres Abines, Cebuano young fashion designer and the event's creative director.

The raised money from Ticket Sale on that Fashion Show is donated to Gualandi Volunteers Service Programme, Inc. (GVSP) – Gualandi Mission for the Deaf with the help of Save A Life Today, Incorporated (SALTI).

Here are some Photos taken by a photographer friend, Mark Ramirez, back stage.

I'll become a liar if I said I don't like this front or hind leg of a pig including the knuckles or commonly known as the "Pata" paired with Beer or favorite hard drinks. I am a Gym Boy but Yes, i am a Pata Lover most especially when this Pata comes from the Best Crispy Pata in Town, Alejandro's! Last May 8, 2012 - Tuesday, the new Alejandro's was unveiled at the heart of Cebu's uptown area and guess what? They are focusing more on Customer needs and comfortability, not to mention a more secure environment, more parking spaces and of course, indeed an accessible location for everybody. Aside from the most craved Crispy Pata, what else do we need? I bet everybody needs a "chillax" moment, and hey! let's do it at Alejandro's Crispy Pata!


Personally, unlike other lousy Crispy Pata , Alejandro's made me think of bringing my buddies for a food trip after a weekend Clubbings at the Mango Avenue. Their Pata is not just Crispy, it is not dry and you can truly taste its juice and tenderness inside. So much of the Star of the Resto, what elese do you think is new at Alejandro's?

NEW LOGO

A newly "refreshed logo" of Alejandro's is introduced today. A more dynamic, young, "moving-forward" design befits Alejandro's commitment to keep up with the times, always offering something new and exciting




UNLIMITED RICE


The Alejandro's Crispy Pata is a great beer match but to many, it is also best eaten with rice, lots of rice! Given that, our Unlimited Rice offer is here to stay so that each one can enjoy their meals at Alejandro's to their heart's content.


NEW DISHES


The Pochero Tagalog and Crispy Sisig are only two of the many exciting new dishes Alejandro's has to offer. More coming soon!

I was asked how much will I rate for this worldwide most anticipated movie, The Avengers, with 5 as the highest and 1 as the lowest, I answered 6! Why not? Aside from the expected action filled scenes from land, water, air and even outside the earth, a Lough Out Loud moments that Robert Downey Jr. (Ironman) punched in most of his dialogues, a no "OA" drama of Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye)in their acts and the adorable, everybody's wanted Chris Evans (Captain America) and Chris Hemsworth (Thor) must watched scenes and talks and lastly, the smashing Hulk (Mark Ruffalo)- these stuff will truly satisfy your movie cravings! Did I mention that the movie does not offer a lousy moments to viewers?



Gaining a "Stark-Tower" high rating from Rotten tomatoes's Tomatometer of 97% (as of this writing), The Avengers 2012 Assembly showcased more of a traditional Super heros behaviour and moves. Joss Whedon, the director, also gave highlights to some members of the Avengers who basically do not have a super power just like Black Widow who astonishingly jumped to one of the villain's flying transpo and fought fist to fist and then landed to the rooftop of "The Big Ugly Building in New York" (as what Captain America said in the movie) which is actually Ironman's Stark Tower. And do you think it's more on explosions from here, there and everywhere? Well, Whedon just did a very great job by balancing all the superheroes' abilities, flashing their fight scenes one by one but with an art. Honestly, after you watch the movie, you will recall every moves that each members did in the film.


So much of the Heroes, how about their Villains? Well, Everybody knew that Loki, Thor's half brother of Asgardian, who is fueled by jealousy and a thirst for power, is one them but yes, no spoilers but you know what? Loki is not the Villains' Head, who? You must watch the movie! lols

Of course, action movie will always contain a lacking ingredient. And for The Avengers, to understand and appreciate more on some scenes, you need to watch those previous Marvel's movies such us Ironman, Hulk, Thor and most especially on Captain America: First Avenger.


To give you a funny twist, here are the best dialogues i jot down while watching the film in SM City Cebu, IMAX Theatre.

(inside the jet aircraft)
Captain America: Stark! We need a plan of attack,
Ironman: I have plan, attack!

(while discussing within the team)
Thor: Loki is beyond reason, but he's of Asgard and he's my brother.
Natasha: He killed 80 people in 2 days.
Thor: He's adopted.

Just a little spoilers maybe but how about you? What could be your rating on this film? Is it worth watching at IMAX theatre? say some comments below and SMASH!

In just 2 years, they’ve bypassed the usual steps to making it big by proving they have super-star quality in everything they do. They are sought after producers, remixers to the A-list elite and number 1 hit makers. The accolades they’ve clocked up within this relatively short time are equal to those some DJ stalwarts amass during a lifetime!
