We were welcomed by Ms. Gina Gil Lacuna herself, the owner of the beautiful Puzzle Mansion Bed and Breakfast and the title holder of the Guiness World Records for the World's Largest Jigsaw Puzzle Collection bestowed last November 29, 2012.

We left first our things in one of the 10 luxurious rooms of the place located at second level (4 rooms for 6,000Php++ each) and in the pool area (5 rooms with 4,000Php++ each), then we went at the ground level were the Puzzle Museum is located. I'm still amazed everytime I see the puzzle collections of Ms.Lacuna especially the three-dimensional puzzles.

The puzzle collections are complete from wood puzzle, ball puzzle, crystal puzzle, 3D and 4D puzzle, name it and she all got it at Puzzle Museum. Even the famous and  must find renaissance paintings is present like The Birth of Venus by Sandro Boticelli, The Marriage in Cana by Paolo Veronese, Las Meninas by Diego de Silva Velazquez, Monalisa by Leonardo Da Vinci and many more.

We were pampered like prince and princesses at the time of our visit from fresh and delectable food, most especially the Coconut Cream Pie and coffee, to a very cozy and homey sofa chairs , to calm and relaxing weather. We even had our chance to choose things from a variety of items at the Souvenir Shop and purchased fresh and affordable herbal/flowering  plants that also grown at mansion's garden.

Me and my blogger friends have a memorable moment at the place and I'm sure you will do, as well when you visit the place. We will never forget this experience at Puzzle Mansion Bed and Breakfast  and will definitely go back, this time with our own families (in my case, other friends who haven't see this place).

Laida and Miggy Reunite In "It Takes A Man And A Woman" Showing On March 30, 2013

Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz reunite in the big screen in the movie "It Takes A Man And A Woman" that will be shown on March 30 nationwide. The movie brought to you by Star Cinema under the direction of Cathy Garcia-Molina. 

The story of Laida Magtalas (Sarah) and Miggy Montenegro (John Lloyd) continuous as they enter into a more practical and mature decisions in life. We followed them from "A Very Special Love" and "Changed Their Lives", now after for years of their break-up, their path meet again in the place where they started it.

Recently, presscon was held at Dolphy Theater in ABS-CBN compound. We all waited for Sarah and John Lloyd to arrived. Hosted by John Eric Salut, press and online media are very happy with them which arrived together and with direk Cathy and Isabel Daza (Played Belle, Miggy's girlfriend).

According to direk Cathy, it takes just one moment, one perfect moment to find that person but it takes a lot,lot more than that, in order to keep it. When question ask about "what it takes to find that very special love?". On the other hand Sarah says "Para kay direk it takes one moment ako, maraming maraming moments that takes time to know kung gaano ka special ang isang tao para sa'yo" [Laughs] "time na naman, yun po ang para sa akin".

Moreover for John Lloyd "Yung ma-inlove is one thing, pero keeping the love alive and yung magtagal s'ya is another big thing and that makes it special"."Kasi yung ma-inlove ka, madaming pwedeng mangyari sa'yo iyo yun eh, pero yung umabot hanggang dulo at magtagal kayo hanggang sa tumanda kayo, that makes it special" John Lloyd added. 

We all witnessed that the chemistry of Sarah and John Lloyd is remarkable, although they haven't had any special relationship off camera and people knew their love stories with other celebrities, everybody tends to follow and accept them as couple on big screen."Mistery until now na taon na yung umabot, pero until now hindi ko alam kung san nanggagaling lahat ng yun, im sure its a beautiful place that we have out there, na napakamisteryoso na hindi mo alam kung mangyayari ba sya in real life o hindi, duon may..".[stops] "ewan ko basta, ang hirap ipaliwanag po eh" John Lloyd explains about the chemistry. Im sure that place or world that John Lloyd talking about is the one we've seen, especially when they have a movie. But honestly, I felt that place, the moment John Lloyed and Sarah "Tama, Tama" explaining.

Almost four years have past for Laida and Miggy and now they are back with their own lives "We took almost four years talaga, for the reasons we don't really know, but this time its blessing in disguise na nagkataon yung kwento na'tin ngayon ay tungkol sa mga taong nag mature, a different kind of love with much higher than the kilig kind of love" direk Cathy explains.For Sarah and John Lloyd "Mabuti na nag pahinga din sila ng apat na taon and grew apart and they grew as a person, so nung dinerek ko napo itong part three, exactly what the characters went through, they also gone through with their personal lives" she added.

I am more excited now to watch the movie and I am sure you all do as well. Let us all witness Laida who are now more braver, bolder, fiercer and wiser, likewise as Miggy who has a girlfriend and have a new phase in his life. Let's us all witness again what will happen to them as they transformed by the deeper emotional journeys that they both went through.

A romantic-comedy movie, showing on March 30, 2013 Black Saturday in all theaters nationwide. For more information and latest updates about "It Takes A Man And A Woman" simply visit www.StarCinema.com.ph, http://facebook.com/StarCinema and http://twitter.com/StarCinema.

FISHER MALL Trade Night/VIP Night

Remember the newest mall which about to unveiled before the year ends HERE? The one where fashion is not just a statement but a lifestyle?, where trends are not followed but set?, in no more ways but one? The mall where you can "Find All, Be All"?, YES, it the FISHER MALL.

Last week, two days after the presscon, the Fisher Mall Trade Night/VIP Night was held at Manila Polo Club. I can't imagine that I would be in one roof with the top businessman, executives and CEO of the famous brands in the metro. The owners and investors held support on Del Rosario family's new business, the Fisher Mall.

I remember,on the afternoon of the presscon, Ray Del Rosario shared that they almost have 60% tenants occupancy, but I think after this trade night it is already full.So expect to have a full range of your favorite brands and services at the Fisher Mall.

The Petron Corporations representative Lubin Nepomuceno also discussed the history of their company and their life partnership with Mr.Bobby Del Rosario's businesses like Irma Fishing and others.After which they gave Del Rosario a loyalty award for having 37 years and counting.

The loyalty, focus and determination of Del Rosario's on handling a business is unmeasurable. That's the reason why their business is growing and continuous to help many Filipinos. In return they give back what they have in life not just for business, but Fisher Mall is build for everybody to enjoy.

KathNiel On The Film "Must Be...Love"

I watched the debut movie of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, "MUST BE...LOVE" under Star Cinema, with my co-bloggers at Shangri-la Cineplex with the invitation of KathNiel's friends and supporters worldwide "KaDreamersWorld" (thank you so much ***hugs). The block screening on its first day of showing is really an exciting experience.

The movie is about Patchot (Kathryn) who is in-love with her bestfriend Ivan (Daniel). They shared each others cherish moments, until Angel (Patchot's cousin played by Liza Soberano) came into the picture and changes happens.

Same with many youngsters who experience obstacles and trials,  physically and emotionally changes are the hardest one. The movie portrayed the normal behavior of a teenager fighting for her own identity which is best seen in Kath's character Patchot. She grew up with no mother and with all boys in their house and an environment treating her as one of them. 

Moreover, with the fact that changes or transformation happen and no one can stop it. Individuals have their own mechanism of allowing that change, specially if LOVE comes into place to make them a better person inside and out. 

On the other hand, KathNiel's acting is so natural, you can see how comfortable they are with each other. I remember one thing that direk Dado Lumibao said at blogger's conference "Napaka professional nilang mga bata, kahit alam mong antok at pagod na sila, pag sinabing "take" automatic and acting nila at wala akong problema lalo na pag silang dalawa ang magka-eksena, at lalo na kung ang eksena ay ipapakita kung gaano nila makahal ang isa't-isa". By seeing the film, i know what direk Dado means.

I just noticed one thing about the camera shots, which is mostly focus on the faces of the actors especially the outdoor scenes or in public places like on the bridge and again I remember what direk told us at the blogcon "Ang daming talaga nilang fans, palaging silang sinusundan, tinatawag sila kaya nahirapan kami sa shoot minsan para hindi makita na madaming tao, malapit ang kuha namin". But for me, I like it that way, because I can clearly see the eyes of the actors.

I will not spill any other shots and scenes about the film here, just watch for them in theaters near you with your barkada, relatives, best friends, love ones and of course family which also show a good example for daughter-father, nephew-auntie, mother-son and cousins relationship. "All's Well That Ends Well" because of LOVE, it "MUST BE.... LOVE".
