#CANDY’SROADTOFITNESS

mike7I never laughed this hard ever during a live stand up comedy session, seriously. Well It was a Saturday night, me and my gal pals had nothing to do. Then an invite for Wazzup Pilipinas, was an opportunity to be able to witness an English stand up comedy session with the sense of Filipno humor from the best stand up comedians in the country at HATCH22 Power Plant Mall , who are part of the #ComedyCarttelPH.

 

To be honest, English humor doesn’t really get to me quick but hell yeah how they delivered their spiels really got my attention. There was never a dull moment listening to them. My girls and I laughed so much because the jokes are really what we call, “Yeah we’ve been there kinda situation”, meaning that the spiels  are relatable to the things that happens nowadays.

Mike Unson (@mikeunson) , have been in the stand up comedy biz for years and he is really passionate about it ever since. And he is celebrating his anniversary! He already made a name in stand up comedy and he is realDSC_1247ly funny guys! He really cracked me up with his spiels on “#CANDY’SROADTOFITNESS”  (My girls and I can’t really forget about it). I guess you guys better catch him up with one of his show for you to get what I’m saying. We got the chance to meet him personally, he was accommodating and very  down to earth fella.

I asked some stuff about him,  what It feels like to be in the industry that long, how is the competition nowadays, we know a lot of stand up comedians getting popular nowadays- really tough competiton out there. ( Making people laugh is a gift and talent, I say.)  His source of inspiration and ritual she usually do before a show. His words of inspiration to those who plans to go with same path, he is in.

He had acts before him, You might know  Ruther Urquia (@rutherurquia), Finalist from “Pilipinas Got Talent”.  His antics about his shopping ventures with his wife really have a marked on me and his other spiels and jokes  were funny, wished he performed longer because I find him  very entertaining.

Then be amaze with magic tricks of Marcelle Fabie (@kelfabie) and his “hugots” on love. He demonstrated a magic trick which he sampled on a couple, they had to chain him up and amazingly he escapes the chains and get locked up again.

I swear, it is nice to go to shows like this with a group of friends and just laugh once in a while and have some fun. Get away from reality a bit. It was worth coming, My girls and I need some R &R from time to time with the pressure with that thing called “life”. This kind of comedy doesn’t like insult people and it genuine in delivery , its like story telling of certain based inspired characters which you eventually can relate to and you can imagine how funny it really is. You can catch them up with their series of shows,  just check out the hashtags #ComedyCartelPH and check @comedycartel instagram page  and facebook for updates. You’ll never regret it, I swear.

Pretzel love: Auntie Anne’s 34th branch opening at BGC

DSC_0479

When I hear Auntie Anne’s, I remember one my best friends,  Aimee, she loves their pretzels and I guess it has been her fave snack/merienda ever since college. I agree , Yes, their pretzels are delish!  I’ve been a fan of their almond pretzels – which I mostly buy at Auntie Anne’s and lately I tried their pretzel filled with cream cheese (can’t remember the exact name), it taste good when you dip it on caramel sauce. They have other sauces like chocolate, caramel, cream cheese and cheese but I go for the caramel, it goes good with everything.

Well we’ve seen Auntie Anne stalls around your one –stop  local malls and they’ve established a name already for baking, selling good quality and mouth watering pretzels. When you say their name, automatically, PRETZELS come to your mind. They have been in the industry for a long time and now,  they upgraded themselves with a new look and concept but still its still the same Auntie Anne we love.

AXN Tops English GE Q1 2015 Ratings CSI:Cyber, The Blacklist and Asia’s Got Talent Take the Primetime Spotlight in SE Asia and Taiwan

PHILIPPINES (April 9, 2015) – AXN continued its thrilling streak in Q1 2015, claiming top spot in English general entertainment primetime ratings collectively in Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Taiwan.

As the dominant English GE channel across the region, AXN held 37 percent of the primetime viewing share among 20 competing channels, with ratings that were more than 60 percent higher than the next best rated English GE channel.

“Pilot” -- CSI: CYBER stars Emmy Award winner Patricia Arquette in a drama inspired by the advanced technological work of real-life CyberPsychologist Mary Aiken. Special Agent Avery Ryan (Arquette) heads the Cyber Crime Division of the FBI, a unit at the forefront of solving illegal activities that start in the mind, live online, and play out in the real world. While other agents search for criminals in dark homes and alleys, Ryan searches the “dark net,” a place deep in the bowels of the web where criminals are anonymous, money is untraceable and everything is for sale with just a keystroke. CSI: CYBER will premiere Spring 2015, Sundays (10:00-11:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  Pictured: Patricia Arquette.  Photo: Monty Brinton/CBS  ©2014 CBS Broadcasting, Inc.
