Paulo Avelino Treats His Fans With His First Single "When She Cries"

Award-winning actor Paulo Avelino has a lot to be thankful for - acting recognitions, a phenomenal TV series (He play as Nathan in Walang Hanggan) , slew of endorsements. However, for Paulo, he considers his throngs of fans his biggest blessing.

As a means of thanking those people who selflessly loves him, Paulo has just released his first single – his own rendition of the hit When She Cries., which was one of the biggest hits of the 90’s originally done by Restless Heart.

“This is a gift to all my fans,” says Paulo. “I want to give all of you (my fans) this song.”

He singles out the line “I pray this time, I can be the man that she deserves”  as his promise to his fans that he hopes that he is deserving of all their love and support.

Paulo admits that he never dreamt of being a recording artist, but he is thankful to Universal Records for entrusting to him this project.

The Red Crab Alimango House: 24 Ways Of Enjoying Your Crab

Since the rain is not really in the mood, I thought I will never gonna make it to the event, but I thought wrong... well, we are a little bit late but still, we were able to attend the blogger's night in Red Crab Lucky Chinatown mall.

Here's what I ate during the event:

Deep Fried Crab with Togue in Sichuan Sauce and Crab Adobo sa Buko

Crab Sotanghon and Crab Singapura

Chinese Salted Egg Crab and Roasted Garlic Crab

Crab Tausi and Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter Crab

Thai Chili Crab and Crab Sinigang sa Sampaloc

The prices are:

Middlewight Crabs P145 / 100g (500-700g) 

Big Crabs P155 / 100g (800-900g) 

King Crabs P165 / 100g (1kg-up) 

Female Crabs P165 / 100g (all sizes)

I got to taste 10 out of 24 Crab Dishes. 24 Crab Dishes? Yes, you read it right. What I love about these dishes is that it does have a certain taste that makes you crave for more. 

My favorite dishes so far is the Crab Sinigang sa Sampaloc and Crab Singapura (though I love all the dishes). Sinigang is my comfort food and I was really surprised that they combine it with a crab plus this is the perfect food during rainy days. Crab Singapura made me miss my Singapore days (reminiscing while eating haha). The golden fried buns is really perfect for this dish since in Singapore some people would prefer eating this rather than rice. And rice will make you feel bloated while you're having a moment with the 24 crab dishes, it's not cool right? So I still choose buns over a rice ;)

Well, some people I know, think that I hate crab because they barely see me eating crabs during the occasions. The reason behind it is that I really don't know how to eat crabs so I end up waiting for my parents to take off the shell.. weird but true. So thanks to Mee-i for helping me and teaching me during the blogger's night! (First time eh hahaha).

And one thing I learned while eating is that in order to enjoy eating those 24 crab dishes you must eat it with your bare hands :)

For those who love crabs and buffet, I am sure you will enjoy this in Red Crab Greenbelt 3 for the month of August.

Thank you Red Crab for inviting us! :)

Happy Birthday Nicole! :)

It's been almost a year when I first saw Nicole Andersson at Solenn Heussaff's concert. With her sophisticated look, I thought I will never got a chance to talk to her, but I was wrong.

Talking to her is like talking to one of your friends, no tension ( I always feel the tension when I am talking with other celebrities haha! ), I really had fun talking to her.

One thing I love about her is that she always find time to talk to her followers and readers. I remember when she greeted me on my birthday, well at first I thought it was only a simple greeting/tweet from her, but she even made an effort by writing it on a piece of paper and twitpic it. That made my birthday really awesome.

It was really blurred but the hell I care, It's from Nicole Andersson :)

And because it's your birthday today...

I just want to tell you how thankful I am to finally meet you. You're one of the nicest, bubbliest and awesome person that I met. I always have this good vibes feeling whenever I read your tweets and blogs. I am so lucky that you've always noticed me. It was always a pleasure to be one of your readers. Thank you so much and you will always be one of my favorite bloggers :) Happy Happy Birthday! Have an awesome day! I love you Nic! (naks feeling close hahaha)

The Birthday Girl: Solenn Heussaff

It was two weeks before Solenn's birthday when my friends asked me if I want to go to Broadway (Eat Bulaga studio) to personally greet her. And because it was my first time to spend time with her on her birthday, I said yes.

Since it was almost two weeks ago and my friends are too busy with school stuff (thank God, i am not a student anymore) I thought we will never gonna push through our plans. But surprisingly, the night before Solenn's birthday, my friends told me that I should meet them at 9:30 am (I will never be a big fan of early call time hahaha!). I guess because I was so excited, I almost forgot to sleep haha! But seriously, I slept at 3 am and woke up at 6 am only to find out that the weather is not really in the mood. I am from Cavite and it'll take 2-3 hours to go to Broadway. The very kill joy rain plus the I-think-I-am-sick feeling makes me think that i will never gonna make it to Manila... but hey! the rain stopped at 8:30ish so I decided to leave the house before it rain again.

I was at the studio about 10:30ish (better late than never ang peg lol) and I finally saw EJ. We went to the studio and decided to stay there and wait for Ly. 

Here are the photos during Eat Bulaga:

I don't know his name, but this guy is so handsome. Nuff said.

EB Babe Ann

The Birthday Girl

I went to Eat Bulaga for about 4 times already but it was our first time to participate on their games. It was totally fun but I am not really comfortable seeing a lot of cameras and seeing my self in the television. 

Ej and I tried to hide everytime Solenn went near our seats. It was really funny that she is one of our members during the wave game. Good thing she didn't recognized us and yes, we won!!! *Team B let's go, Team B let's fight* lol I can still remember it :))

Anyway, our plan is to surprise her in the dressing room.. unfortunately there are only two available backstage pass. I was the one left in the studio while Ly and Ej do what is need to be done. 

After the show, they already gave me the other pass. They told me that Solenn saw them. And so we decided to go to the dressing room holding our presents to her. EJ made the gift (no photo), Ly bought the personalized doughnuts and me... I only brought myself.. but presence is more important right? wrong?! ooookay :( hahaha lol kidding aside, I saw the efforts of my friends.. kudos to that ;)

Here are some of the photos:

It is still Solenn's birth month so let me just greet her again :)

Solenn,

For the last time, happy birthday!:)

I know I already told you this, but I will tell it to you again... It was really nice to spend a day with you especially on your birthday. :)

We wanted to make you feel happy on your birthday, but you know what? You make us feel happy too. Seeing you appreciate those little things, makes our heart beat faster hahaha! 

On that day, everything is soooo simple.. casual talks, the laughs... it's like we're talking to a person we've known for so long. That made us realized that we are so glad to have you :)

Thank you, Sos! :)

Human Lasallian Star 2012

Being part of Human Lasallian Star is one of the greatest moment I had experienced. I've been part of the First Human Lasallian Star last 2009 but I didn't got a chance to make it to the second (2010), that's why I decided to join for the third one. As an alumna, I was really excited to go back to school and to see some of my college friends. 

Here are the photos during the Human Lasallian Star in DLSU-D:

This is the aerial shot of the Human Lasallian Star:

I must say that I am really grateful to see a lot of people, Lasallian or non-Lasallian joined the said event. We celebrated the 100 years of LaSalle plus we also helped a lot of Lasallian Scholars.

I am a proud Lasallian and I am part of the STAR! :)

Bench x Mall of Asia: Allison Harvard and Dominique Reighard

"Wanna be on top?" That's one of the most famous lines of Tyra Banks on America's Next Top Model. Yes, I may not be a fashionista but I am a huge fan of ANTM. As far a I remember, I started watching it when it was cycle 3 already so I had to search for the past 2 cycles. Actually it came to a point that I even ask my self why am I so addicted to it, I don't even know the true meaning of fashion... I'm just a simple girl who loves wearing jeans and shirts. But ANTM taught me that it's not the clothes but it's how confident you are wearing those clothes. I also love all the contestants, their differences makes me like them more though of course I have my favorite contestants in every cycle. I remember when cycle 14, Reina Hein followed me on twitter, I was so very happy. I always hope that she and other ANTM contestants will visit Philippines.

That's the time I heard that Allison Harvard and Dominique Reighard will be part of Bench x Michael Cinco Philippine Fashion Week. Unfortunately, you can't attend the Bench PFW without an exlusive invite. Good thing, Bench had a contest and the winner will get an exclusive invite and they also had a contest for a meet and greet pass in Trinoma and Mall of Asia. I know I'm not lucky with online contest but I tried joining.. Sadly, I am right... I didn't win. But it makes me more eager to see the two of them. Seeing them will make me feel happy so I went to the second day of their Meet and Greet and it was held in Mall of Asia

I am satisfied just by seeing them in person. I didn't expect that I'll be able to talk to them... :)

Here are some of the photos:

Allison and Dominique with the Host Raymond Gutierrez

I was really starstrucked when I saw Allison Harvard. She's one of my favorite in ANTM. People say she has a creepiest eyes they've ever seen but hey! That's what makes me love her more. I love her eyes, I love her weirdness. That quality makes her more unique. She is sooo gorgeous! :)

And there's Dominique Reighard, one of the people I like in ANTM All Stars. Her song "Top of the World" is really an inspirational song for me. It makes me realize that I should not give up on my dream. We should always Dream Big! She's a very very nice person. A very pretty face with a good attitude. Everybody loves her! :)

Thank you Allison and Dominique for the hugs and kisses, I will surely cherish the moment I met you! :)

I still can't believe what happened, it is so magical. It was like a dream.
This would not be possible without the help of THE Michael Carandang and Ms. Dora, so thank you so much! :)

By the way, Allison is the model of Michael Cinco's perfume, Impalpable. I've been so in love with all the Bench Perfumes and I know this one is one of their best perfume!
