My Little Bossings Blogger's Night

Two of the most popular kids in showbiz right now, each with distinct personalities teamed up in a family movie with the Box-office King and Queen of MMFF! The street smart Ryzza Mae Dizon and the "socially elite" James "Bimby" Aquino Yap with "Bossing" Vic Sotto and Kris Aquino in My Little Bossings, an official entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival this 2013!

We had a chance to chat with the lead actor himself, "Bossing" Vic, the energetic kid Ryzza Mae  and head writer Ms. Bibeth Orteza last Friday at Annabel's about their latest movie.

And tell you, the Blogger's Night was filled with witty exchanges between these people!

For a long time she's been working with Vic (ever since Iskul Bukol), Ms. Bibeth admits she still has a lot of ideas for Vic. " [I] barely scratched the surface". I also liked when she said that only few people would invite the writer during press conferences/ blogger's night like this one, like Vic Sotto. 

 Being the writer of the story she said that My Little Bossings was tailor made for Ryzza and Bimby and she can't think of other people playing the parts. It wasn't that hard to make the script for them as long as you know the skills of the actors and actresses. 

Vic plays the role Torky Villanueva who works as a bookeeper for the millionaire cash management specialist Baba Atienza (Kris). Because of some conflict in her business, Baba entrusts her son Justin (Bimby) to Torky’s care for fear of her life. In the meantime, Torky’s niece Ice (Aiza) who lives in the same house with him, is involved in an advocacy for street children where street kid Ching (Ryzza ) becomes her special ward. Ice brings Ching home when the orphanage closed down. The fun begins when all these people start living in one roof while they each tackle his respective personal dilemma.

At first, they're convincing Kris to let Bimby into the movie and she would just agree if they will give Bimby a full length movie and she wanted her son's first experience in making movies to be with someone of Vic’s stature and humility.    

Which is a good choice since Vic is known for taking care of child stars. But Vic admits that "I don't see my self as a star -builder. I see myself as a supporter and believer of raw talents." Ms. Bibeth also agrees by saying "Full support si Vic sa mga child stars niya." Even during shootings of "Vampire ang Daddy ko", after Ms. Bibeth gives intructions [to Ryzza] and goes inside the OB van, Vic also gives advice on acting execution.

Vic also shares his experience working with the two kids. He says that Ryzza is really makulit and very conservative. "Working with a child is just a wonderful experience and I always see to it na 'yung trabaho namin may kasamang laro. It's work and play at the same time. In this movie dalawa 'yung kalaro ko. Isang madaldal, isang rough."  As we could always see on the TV, the joke exchanges between Bossing and Ryzza in Eat Bulaga makes up our lunch time.

But what about Bimby?
"Hindi ko masyadong pinagkakausap kasi 'yung role namin it starts na talagang aloof kami, hindi mutual ang feelings namin sa isa't isa. Hinayaan kong hindi kami nag-uusap. Pero halfway through the production, eh naging close na rin kami."  Bimby was shy at first too but after few weeks of shooting he's already hitting the marks! There's rough play, wrestling, etc. even with or without takes, and it was really cool feeling.

Well Bossing and Ryzza even played Bato- bato pick that night! Haha! Who do you think won? :D

Bossing and Ryzza playing Bato-bato pick! Who do you think won?

Ryzza won! Haha!

But the big question is how did Ryzza and Bimby worked out? "Madali naman kausap 'tong si Ryzza eh, naregaluhan lang ni Bimby ng chocolates okay na." Bossing confessed. Ryzza also tells that she's now close with Bimby too!

Bossing Vic expressed his excitement in this movie. Unlike his previous movies, no fantasy, special effects-- simple, family movie. "It's funny. It's very entertaining. It will cater to all ages. I'm sure they will have a good time this coming Christmas 'pag pinanood nila ang My Little Bossings."

Vic Sotto and Me! :D

I think the movie "My Little Bossings" is more than just a family comedy movie as it tackles some issues of the society also. If you want to spend your holidays with a light and funny Filipino movie, I can say that you would really enjoy this movie. :) 

P.S. Thanks Ate Melai Entuna for inviting me! :D

“My Little Bossings” is produced by OctoArts Films, M-Zet Films, APT Entertainment and Kris Aquino Productions all of which have brought out their guns to ensure that it is a heartwarming, quality movie through and through.

Shoe Designer for a Night

               If you're wondering why I've been MIA even if I already got internet connection and sem break has started in UP a week ago... it's because... I got sick and I am finishing my commitment to my college newsletter which will be launched on the first week of classes.
 But I really missed blogging! So here's a back-to-blogging post I wanna share with you!

  When creativity strikes, you shouldn't let it go! Especially when my mother started bugging me to "fix" her sandals. It was actually from my tita's friend and just gave it to my mom, she accepted it because they had the same size with her hopes that my "creativeness" could do something in this.

So here I am, a shoe designer for a night.



Think you could wear this sandal in this state? My mom wouldn't!
She wouldn't for months. I think. Especially when I tried to paint the wooden circles to try out (the other pair was the guinea pig) . So she started bugging me this sem break to finish what I've started.

The cover of the sandal is plastic, with 5 faded wooden circles and rusty metal circles. At first I really do wonder what was it like when it was new? It's not really my type of design of shoes. But there must be something that encouraged the previous owner to buy it.

Anyway, My mom doesn't want an OA design. Just, you know, to "hide" the 5 old circles. I used cheap materials to stylize this old sandal. Since I have an accessory shop business, I have a lot of wires and stuff. I also stocked bottles of paint for personalizing button earrings. So that's what I used: Wires, spacers, acrylic paint and super glue.

And this is the result,



TADAAHH!!



I painted the wooden circles with white and covered it with bronze spacers.Not yet contented, I added spiral flair with the bronze wire.

Tip: The super glue is not called SUPER for no reason. Be careful not to stick your fingers. Swear, it hurts.

Who would say that it's the same faded and rusty sandal, eh?
It's not

And now my mom likes to wear it now! Hoho!






Achieved ba?

                                                          Hi Charmed!

Hello weekends! And I'm now anticipating the official end of classes :3 Oh but then, we'll enroll for summer class. So make the most out of it right? Last Thursday was the exclusive screening of So Undercover by Adidas Neo and Nuffnang! Whee! A great way to start the break!

Me doing Miley's pose XD

This movie is not really that worth hitting the cinemas but if you're Miley's fan or someone fond of teenage detective comedy stories, well it wouldn't hurt. :)

I'm still looking forward to Iron Man 3, Despicable Me 2 and Star Trek anyway!

Just a little note: Why update a blog?

Since me and Aimee are currently processing our enrollment in UP.. (and I think she's already done and I envy her haha XD), we'll just try our very best to update the blog :D

Why? Why update?
For readership?
For traffic?
Having readers is like someone has visited a museum---just looked and appreciate the art work (or criticize it)--  it's a great feeling to the artist, what more if the artist were given an award too? The artist would never fail to thank everyone who viewed his art exhibit. Well in fact, those artworks were the expression of the artist's feelings.
Just like blogging,
we write what we think we are,
what we feel,
expressing our thoughts
to our personal space
with our loyal readers and visitors.

Just a little note I picked from Personal Time box by Papemelroti




Don't be afraid to start a blog, whether it's a personal or a lifestyle one like Charmed :D
Be free to tell the cyber world who you are... but also limit what they should know. :)

Happy Blogging!

Love,
MoMo
