Jollibee hosts nationwide block screening for latest cheesy JoshLia film, “Love You to the Stars and Back”

August 30, 2017 (Philippines)
Julia Barretto and Joshua Garcia’s latest film “Love You to the Stars and
Back” has started showing today in cinemas nationwide. Jollibee celebrates the cheesy opening day by
treating hundreds of JoshLia and Cheesy Yumburger fans to an exclusive block screening in Metro
Manila, Cebu and Davao.
The film, written and directed by Antoinette Jadaone, is a fresh take on fate, young love, and life.
Jollibee endorsers Joshua and Julia shared that the cheesy kilig moments in the movie are the best
paired with the new and improved Jollibee Cheesy Yumburger, now made cheesier because of its new
creamy cheddar cheese melted right on top of the Yumburger’s signature 100% beef patty!
Enjoy the new JoshLia starrer and the super cheesier, langhap-sarap Cheesy Yumburger, now available
for dine-in, take-out, delivery, and drive-thru in all Jollibee stores nationwide. Prices start at 45php.
You will definitely love the movie and the Jollibee Cheesy Yumburger langhap-sarap experience….to the
stars and back
Review: My take on the movie.. It’s CUTE and it’s entirely FULL OF KILIG. I bet the JOSHLIA fans would be happy and not dissapointed but for me its good naman but I kinda felt that there were unnecessary characters inserted in order for JOSHLIA to have a moment of kilig parang how it became related to the movie.  I did cry in some scenes expecially when it comes to family. Overall its a good kilig movie and better to  watch it with JOLLIBEE CHEESY YUM BURGER 🙂

again to usher in his magic revolution in Asia.”

  • CEETAB DAILY ASCORBIC ACID – VITAMIN C

Indication: To prevent and treatment for Vitamin C deficiency

It’s basically to increase your immune system especially when you’re in places that you are not used to the temperature or you don’t know what viruses or bacteria you can encounter. Also when you lack sleep, it decreases your immune as well. Just to be on the safe side.

  • MECLIZINE HCL

This is to prevent nausea, vomiting and dizziness during flight or sea sailing. Usally I take this 30 minutes before take off. Before I used to vomit during flights because the scent of some airlines (I was young back then). Now I know 🙂

  • SODIUM BIRCARBONATE (SUPRACID) EXTRA STRENGTH

I really need an antacid in my bag ALL THE TIME. I used to have Acute gastroenteritis and sometimes I get acid when I’m stress, ate a lot of oily food, “nalamigan” because of the cold environment or before my menstruation. So I recommend (since its not on the label) you take it after meals with warm water to take to smooth the stomach.

If you are using sodium bicarbonate as an antacid, it should be taken 1 to 2 hours after meals, with a full glass of water. If you are using sodium bicarbonate for another reason, it may be taken with or without food. Do not take sodium bicarbonate on an overly full stomach.Apr 15, 2017https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682001.html
  • LOPERAMIDE (LORMIDE)
Though it is not recommended to take loperamide by some doctors because you have to let go of the toxins but remember to REHYDRATE. Ofcourse when it comes to extreme measures and emergencies its better to have LOPERAMIDE when you have diarrhea especially

Take it to the Blindfold Test: Kenny Rogers Roasters Garlic Butter Roast

We were all in blindfolds at the event wondering what the lady with the sultry voice was instructing us to do.  Then it has come to the big reveal, it’s AROMATIC and I can smell the infused garlic – It’s THE GARLIC BUTTER ROAST!

Well I kinda had the idea since the launch the commercial of SOSBOLZ, Solenn Heausaff and Nico Bolzico – The good-looking and hilarious couple. These two are couple goals not only that they are LIFE GOALS and FITSPIRATIONS but it’s the kind of relationship they have (ofcourse they love each other) but who doesn’t watch Nico’s wifezilla instagram stories and Solenn is just cool about it. Solenn laughs at Nico all the time to the point where tears are coming out – that’s the kind of genuine relationship every girl looks for in a guy.

Going back to the Garlic Butter Roast, during the event it was served COLD maybe because it was prepped prior to the event but I personally feel if it was served like just got out of the oven it would taste great. Plus I love the potatoes served at the around the chicken. Who doesn’t love chicken and potatoes. The GBR is a healthy option because its ROASTED not fried with the homestyle goodness of garlic and butter. TASTE SO GOOD! 

It is already available in the menu! I have friends who ordered the GBR and its one of their faves on the KRR menu. So the latest offering WHOLE P550, HALF P295, QUARTER P160. For combo meal SOLO B BUTTER ROAST comes with a platter contains rice, mac n cheese, muffin, sauce, veggies and ofcourse the chicken (quarter) P250.00. The Garlic Butter Roast GROUP MEAL comes with the WHOLE CHICKEN, 4 side dishes, bowl of rice, coke and 4 muffins P820.00.

So head over the nearest Kenny Rogers Roasters near you and order or you can order online http://www.kennys.com.ph
