Apocalypse Child

By Heart2Heart | Hot Off the Press | No Comments

The long wait is over. After its huge success at the 3rd QCinema International Film Festival—where it won Best Picture—and reaping acclaim at international filmfests in Europe, the US, and Asia, the movie “Apocalypse Child” screens in commercial theaters nationwide beginning October 26.“Apocalypse Child” is a drama starring award-winning actor Sid Lucero as Ford,a surfing instructor in Baler, who has been told all his whole life that he is the son of American director Francis Ford Coppola. One summer, as the surfing season is wrapping up, Ford’s carefree existence is disrupted with the return of Rich (RK Bagatsing), a childhood friend-turned-politician. Rich brings along his fiancee Serena (Gwen Zamora) whom he encourages to take surfing lessons. Serena and Ford become close, upsetting Fiona (Annicka Dolonius), a young surfer who is harboring a secret love for Ford.Meanwhile, Ford’s mother Chona (Ana Abad Santos) has been trying to get the director to acknowledge her son.As Chona’s petition reaches a breakthrough, Ford is forced to confront his past actions, inactions and the stories of his life.

“Apocalypse Child” received four awards at the 3rd QCinema International Filmfest: Best Director for Mario Cornejo, Best Supporting Actress for Annicka Dolonius, Technical Excellence in Editing for Lawrence Ang, and Best Film. The QCinema jury cited it as a brave and intense film with superb performances. The jury further noted that “The beauty of (its) filmmaking elevates a simple story into a powerful drama that unravels the fractured nature of identity.”

Recently, the Cinema Evalutaion Board (CEB) gave “Apocalypse Child” a grade of “A,”entitling the film to a 100-percent tax rebate. In its summation, the CEB praised the ensemble cast and the production values and hailed the film as a potential hit. The CEB stated, “It is films like ‘Apocalypse Child’ that remind us that there is always a fresh way of telling a story, and like the director Mario Cornejo’s maiden project with Monster Jimenez, ‘Big Time,’ it is a potential sleeper and helps keep the indie spirit alive.”

“Apocalypse Child” is rated R-16 by the MTRCB. It is distributed by Solar Entertainment Corporation. The movie is supported by Belo Sun Expert. For updates, like the Apocalypse Child Facebook page and check out website apocalypsechild.com

Previous entry: The Party Kitchen ( TPK ) October 25, 2016

No hassle, just order and they will deliver. She says “The secret to the success of The Party Kitchen is a chef certified by The California Culinary Academy in 1991 – Chef Ging Carsi Cruz. She creates an array of dishes for TPK and oversees the food quality to assure that all customers who order from The Party Kitchen have an enjoyable and memorable food experience.” Aside from the Party Kitchen, Maritina has a Romulo Cafe @romulocafeph in London with her cousins Enzo and Sandy Squillantini – her same partners in the Party Kitchen.

This was for vegetarian Maritoni but we all liked it P 250.00 for all of these chicken satay Max the 9 year old beagle of Gumamela @maritinaromulo So cute

Max is a champion dog and has even done commercials. Today he ate part of our dessert – chocolate salted caramel cake while we were busy taking group photos 🙂 and Tina was so worried because as we all know chocolates are bad for dogs. Anyway it was a very small piece so Max will be fine #H2HGumamelas #H2HAnimals The Salted Caramel chocolate cake which complicated our potluck computation and which Max ate and grabbed form the coffee table and Tina panicked! It was so funny how we had to compute our potluck for lunch! Long funny story….but glad how things are fair among friends whether big or small amounts

The Party Kitchen (TPK)

By Heart2Heart | Foodie | No Comments

Congratulations to my friends Maritina Romulo, Enzo and Sandy Squillantini of the Party Kitchen! The same owners as Romulo Cafe.

The Party Kitchen (TPK) is a food delivery service that brings chef created dishes to your office, home, and gatherings. Their menu has a variety of Asian favorites (IE. Chap Chae, Pad Thai, Chicken Satay,) pasta dishes (IE. Pesto, Baked Macaroni, Spaghetti & Meatballs), and Filipino fare (IE. fresh lumpiang ubod, Pancit Canton, Beef Tadyang Kare –Kare, Lechon Roll).The secret to the success of The Party Kitchen is a chef certified by The California Culinary Academy in 1991 – Chef Ging Carsi Cruz. She creates an array of dishes for TPK and oversees the food quality to assure that all customers who order from The Party Kitchen have an enjoyable and memorable food experience.Ging Carsi Cruz was the Chef of the food concessionaire at the American Embassy and has worked for Heritage Foods (Racks chain of restaurants and Formula Sprorts Café). She is also behind Mexijunction at the Salcedo Saturday and Legazpi Markets.

Chef Ging’s dishes do not only satisfy discerning palettes, they also provide one with a “healthier option”. For example, TPK’s Sisig Lechon Wrap and Lechon Sisig are made from pork belly (instead of innards), fresh & prime ingredients are used daily, and base sauces are made from scratch.Michelle Pantoja- Picornell, who was the owner of a successful catering business in Quezon City , 4^th Street Kitchen, immediately noticed that TPK does not skimp on ingredients and that oil is not re-used. Michelle orders from TPK regularly for her business meetings and when she wants to impress guests at home.

The Party Kitchen has also become popular with yoga practitioners who order vegetarian noodle dishes in advance (IE. Pesto, Pomodoro, Pad Thai, Canton and Chap Chae). Tofu Shitake Mushroom Sisig is also a favorite.For those who live in apartments with smaller kitchens and for those who do not have time to cook, The Party Kitchen has been a godsend. Busy actors, Art Acuña and Jake Macapagal enjoy both the convenience and flavors of TPK. The Party Kitchen food delivery service makes meals at home and entertaining easy for them.

The Party Kitchen accepts orders via telephone (519-1111) and via private message on Facebook: thepartykitchen.ph Advanced orders are appreciated for larger orders. Their delivery trays are also made out of ecological materials and come in Small (2-4 Pox), Medium (6-8 Pax) and large (10-12 Pax).

The Party Kitchen also participates in any activity as a food partner. Aside from delivering quality food to your table, TPK wants all customers to have a convenient, fast, fun, and memorable experience with them.

Ricardo Preto Exclusively for Rustan’s

By Heart2Heart | What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

What an honor to meet this very kind and charming Portuguese Fashion designer, Ricardo Preto @ricardopreto . He took architecture ( and you will see this in his designs ) and worked in interior design and visual display but his true passion and was really into fashion. He told me that he remembers when he was 9 years old he asked his mom to buy for him Vogue magazine. His parents told him that it’s very hard to make a living in fashion which is why he took architecture …but I guess he proved them wrong. Now he’s a successful designer. He is designing his own brand exclusively for Rustan’s @rustansph and for the U brand. The collection is beautiful. Thanks to my cousins Paolo and Katrina Lobregat @katantocolobregat who are part of the Rustan’s fashion team working with Ricardo #RicardoPreto #RustansPh #H2HRustans
My handsome cousin M Donnie, President of Rustan’s @donnietantoco wearing a Ricardo Preto @ricardopreto for @rustansph suit which costs only P 12,000 yet made in Italy, very comfortable and the fit is so nice!! “He is changing the way I spend money to dress well” according to M Donnie. #RustansPh #H2HRustans #RicardoPreto

Yes, this is a designer brand.

Yes, it’s got the distinction and style sophistication of a designer brand.

Yes, it’s designed by an international designer with years of experience in fashion.
Bet you’re guessing, it’s prices are also on designer brand levels but… No, @rustansph brings you all this at prices that will blow your mind.
This is Ricardo Preto exclusively for Rustan’s— our newest private brand ? @ricardopreto #RustansPh #H2HRustans #RicardoPreto

Negros Trade Fair 2016

By Heart2Heart | Proud to be Pinoy!, Shopping | No Comments

Encounter Negros Island at the 31^st Negros Trade Fair

Experience what Negros is all about at the 31^st Negros Trade Fair this coming September 14-18, 2016 at the Glorietta Activity Center. With the theme “Biodiversity In Tourism”, this 31^st edition promises an even more extensive view of this glorious province and what it is to be Negrense.

Encounter the ingenuity and creativity of the Negrenses with the vast array of products ranging from household products, fashion items and accessories, furniture and furnishing, gifts, and décor, all tastefully created and meticulously crafted.

Every year the members of the Association of Negros Producers ALWAYS outdo themselves, exceeding the already astronomical standard of quality and style that they achieved the previous year. Whether your 9 or 90, you’ll find that little (or LARGE, actually) piece that you just gotta have…whether for yourself or as a gift, you’ll surely find what’s just perfect.

And, of course, who hasn’t heard of the raves about the wonderful assortment of tastes from Negros that would make anyone salivate? From the famed inasal to those little sweet “kakanins”, biscuits, and what have you….just a gastronomic delight!!! Plus, with the Slow Food Convivium of Negros Island, you’ll savor tastes that are so unlike the oily, greasy, UNHEALTHY fast food that floods the malls.

This is one of the few venues where you will find that there is food that can be both described as “delicious” as well as “healthy”.

All this has always graced the Negros Trade Fairs of past and visiting has always been a wonderful experience for all the guests.

But this year’s edition promises even more. Aligned with its theme, guests will see the bounty and diversity with which nature has blessed this island paradise. With the help of thePhilippine Reef and Rainforest Conservation Foundation Inc. (PRRCFI) and Philippine Biodiversity Conservation Foundation Inc. (PBCFI), guests may discover the wealth of Negros’ natural resources with different exhibits and activities both for the youngest of the young and the oldest of the old.

So the 31^st Negros Trade Fair is, simply put, a must for everyone, bar none.
