Eat Bulaga Indonesia Invades Broadway Studio!

A few days after Eat Bulaga Indonesia premiered on SCTV (Indonesia's leading television network), it zoomed to the top of the TV ratings! At ngayong ginaganap na ang Little Miss Indonesia ay lalo namang humigpit ang hawak ng Eat Bulaga Indonesia sa number #1 slot sa rating! 

Iyan ang masayang binalita sa amin ni Mr. Gerry Guzman, a true-blue Filipino who's currently the Creative Head of SCTV who has been working for almost 19 years in Jakarta. 
 

Mr. Gerry Guzman

Malakas sa mga viewers ang iba pang segments ng show tulad ng Indonesia Pintar na version nila ng Pinoy Henyo na masaya at magulo nilang nilaro with the Indonesian hosts, the funny Uya Kuya, the good-looking Rio and the very beautiful Claudia last Monday, January 28. Riot talaga especially nandun at nakigulo ang original and undisputed Pinoy Henyo na si Jimmy Santos! 

Isa pang hit na hit sa Indonesia ay ang Satu Untuk Semua, Semua Untuk Satu na kanilang counterpart ng ating sikat na sikat na Juan for All, All for Juan! 

Kasama dito ang guwapong si Rio at ang isang Filipino host na si Leo Consul who flew in to visit us 

last week. He sang an Indonesian song and danced the very popular Cha-Cha with our Little Miss! 

Sshhh... there's a rumor going around na dadalhin daw ni Ryzza Mae ang Cha-Cha Fever sa Indonesia? Well, stay tune kung mangyayari ito at remember, dito nyo mababalitaan yun! 

Going back to Mr. Gerry Guzman, 

 nabanggit niya na Indonesians are obsessed with Twitter and Facebook (just like anyone else in the world)! We have noticed sa dressing room, na kung hindi sila nagkukulitan ay busy sila with their cell phones. But once nagsimula ang biruan nila, they are as crazy as our Dabarkads!

Uya Kuya, Claudia ang Rio are as crazy

as their Dabarkads counterparts!

Shrimp Ratatouille at Celi's!

Celi's Restaurant @ Hotel Celeste, Makati

Forgive me but I've been wanting to re-post (from Facebook) my birthday dinner pictures (at least the food) taken two years ago. It was memorable, that's why. There were only the three of us (I was with Tita Nelia and Tita Susan) that night who had a great time... we merrily sang along with the lounge singer while enjoying the wonderful food and bottles of wine (I had too much). The Quadruple Chocolate Cake which Tita Nelia baked for me, I think, was the real star of the night. She surprised me with it. Everyone in the dining area who sampled the cake had only praises for the home made masterpiece. 

It was my first time in Hotel Celeste in San Lorenzo, Makati. It's a quiet little place. Food was heavenly, place warm, servers attentive. They're the type of waiters who know when to appear and disappear. 

Food? We had Caesar’s Salad and Grilled Salmon with Shrimp Ratatouille, which I really, really loved. Just like the service, the food was perfect.   

Ryzza Mae is Pretty in Pink!

 Isn't she

Pretty in Pink? 

Dumating ang Little Miss

na pink na pink! 

She was wearing this 

pink Barbie shoes na 

pinalitan niya ng 

flat shoes na pink din

katerno ang kanyang 

pink Hello Kitty bag! 

 Ano kaya ang color niya today na for the first time ay pagsasamahin ang Pinoy Henyo at Indonesia Pintar na version ng Eat Bulaga Indonesia with their Eat Bulaga Hosts! Remember it will happen on Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 11:30! 

Maglalaro kaya ang Little Miss? Don't forget to watch to find out!  
 

 

Christmas Lunch at Cafe Asiana, The Palms!

Cafe Asiana @ The Palms Country Club, Alabang

I don't go to Alabang that often. If ever I do, it's for a good reason. Like the Christmas lunch I attended with my former co-teachers. It's a yearly thing we do and that lunch was set as early as last year's Christmas get-together at Gerry's Grill, Greenbelt. Yes, isang taon nang naka-set ang Christmas lunch na iyon sa The Palms. 

As usual, we had a marvelous time recalling all of those funny things we did while teaching (HRM & Nutrition) at PWU 20 years ago. Some still teach (most of them are already Deans of Hotel and Restaurant Management schools) while the others chose to be involved in different but somehow related fields. 

How about the food? Well, it was your typical country club food. I mean, it was good but not as good as calling your best friend and raving about it. My favorite? I liked the Fish and Chips and the Kare-Kare. They were not you're usual.

That's My Boy Launch & Pamilyang Pinoy Henyo Grand Finals!

It's back! That's My Boy is back! It's being launched today (Tuesday, January 22, 2013) in Eat Bulaga 12 noon. That's My Boy is the male version of Little Miss Philippines (2013 winner is Ryzza Mae) na naging daan para ma-discover ang mga sumikat na actors/singers kagaya nina LA Lopez (currently, a pastor of a Christian Church), Steven Claude Goyong, BJ "Tolits" Forbes (still active in Telenovelas), among others! At last, magkakaroon na ng playmate si Ryzza Mae sa show!
  

Still on EB, the grand finals of the Pamilyang Pinoy Henyo was held last Saturday (January 19, 2013) at ang nagwagi ay ang Despabiladeras Family who won P300K, a Pinoy Henyo trophy and a brand new Chevrolet Spark! Congratulations! 

Ang pumalit sa Pamilyang Pinoy Henyo ay ang Pinoy Henyo Inc. It is opened to private companies and government offices with at least, 100 employees! Join na!

Gourmandise Patisserie at Serendra!

Gourmandise Patisserie @ Serendra

Tita Nelia (Let's Cook My Way!) and I were on our way to Mary Grace to have meryenda of chocolate cake and brownie squares with black coffee (our usual) when we saw Gourmandise Patisserie (just in front of Mary Grace). We entered immediately. Since we were planning on pigging out at Mary Grace, we just order one eclair, one of the best sellers, which we shared. 

We waited for a little surprise that goes with the french pastry that cost P100. I mean, we expected for a twist. Sadly, nada. Zilch. It was plain eclair with cream filling. Nothing great. Of course, it was just one eclair. Next time, perhaps. Perhaps. 

At least, the store's interior is impressive. 

Update: Eat Bulaga INDONESIA!

He is the good-looking and popular Pinoy who's currently making a name for himself in Eat Bulaga Indonesia! Leo Consul sings, dances and hosts na, sabi nila, ay counterpart ni Paulo Ballesteros ng Juan for All, All for Juan!

Dumalaw si Leo sa Broadway Studio last Saturday (January 12, 2013) where he gave a song number at sumayaw ng Cha-Cha with our own Little Miss!

Tapos, binalita niya din sa atin na number #1 ang EB Indonesia sa TV ratings lalo na nang i-launch nila ang Little Miss Indonesia na talaga namang pinagkakaguluhan ng buong bansa! At isa pa... malapit na ding makita ang super sikat na CHA-CHA steps  ng ating Little Miss Philippines winner na Ryzza Mae sa Indonesia! That's definitely good news! Thanks and see you again, Leo! 

And for our special show this Saturday, January 19, 2013... mangyayari na ang Grand Finals ng Pamilyang Pinoy Henyo! Maghaharap na ang apat na pamilya at 11:30am and we'll see what family will be left standing! Watch it!        

Ryzza Mae Casting a Magic Spell?

Oh no... is the Little Miss casting a spell?
