JayR produces own Christmas album Holiday of Love

2011-11-24T21:19:00.001-08:00

Platinum Prince of Soul JayR’s Christmas album Holiday of Love may be one of the projects closest to the singer’s heart. Aside from admitting that he is certainly a “Christmas person,” this album features how gifted he is not only as a singer, but also a musician and a music producer.

Holiday of Love was produced by JayR himself for his own Homeworkz label, and distributed by Universal Records.

“This album is very special to me, and I am very proud of it,” says JayR. “I hope everyone grabs a copy. I hope you’ll let me be a part of your Holiday of Love.”

Classic Holiday tunes like Holy Night, Do You See What I See?, Give Love on Christmas Day, Sleigh Ride, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, White Christmas, Into (O Christmas Tree), Winter Wonderland, The Christmas Song, This Christmas, Santa Baby, and The Little Drummer Boy are given the updated, R&B, groovy feel.

Wrapping up the entire album are two original songs close to Jay-R's heart. There's Spread the Love written by his sister, Jing. But the most special song found in the album is track number 11 intriguingly titled, Tito Remy—the same person cited by Jay-R as the man who inspired the entire project.

"He's a very close Tito sa akin po, uncle ko po," Jay-R confessed, "he died before the holiday so I wrote him a Christmas song."

After the Holiday Season, JayR is all set to start working on his new album under Universal Records which will further highlight how extremely versatile he is as a singer.

JayR is being managed by Carlo Orosa of STAGES, which handles the careers of Christian Bautista, Karylle, Sam Concepcion, Enrique Gil, Zia Quizon, Krista Kleiner, Tippy Dos Santos, Mikel Campos, Fred Lo, among others.

My New Recipe: Swedish Meatballs With Mushroom Sauce

2011-11-17T07:51:00.000-08:00

Let me begin with the end-result: the sauce is exceptionally rich and delicious... a perfect compliment to a meatballs. I'm not a master chef but this was still a very easy recipe to follow. More importantly, you can adjust the seasoning/flavor to your taste as it simmers. Thanks!

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground beef
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup finely chopped onion, or about half of a small onion
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoons butter
1 grated cheese
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 can (10 3/4 oz) cream of mushroom
1 can bottoms mushroom

Preparation:

In a large bowl combine beef, oats, onion, garlic powder, seasoned salt, pepper, eggs, and 1/2 cup milk (mixture will be soft). Using about 2 tablespoons of mixture per meatball, shape 18 to 20 meatballs. In large pan melt butter and oil and brown several meatballs at a time, turning carefully with spatula. As meatballs brown, remove to a clean bowl. And set aside.

Meanwhile, make mushroom sauce. In a saucepan, heat butter over medium-low heat; add mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are golden brown and tender. Add cream of mushroom, stirring until well blended. Add set aside meat balls and season to taste. Contine cooking, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened and bubbly.
Serve meatballs with sauce.

Happy eating :D

2011-11-16T22:25:00.000-08:00

The Christmas holiday period is traditionally a time for celebration, time to enjoy the festivities – festivities of lots of foods. However, the festive season often brings many detrimental health effects because of the foods that are usually prepared for the season.

Passion For Cooking ^_^

2011-11-13T05:35:00.000-08:00

I never got the chance to study in a culinary school, but my passion is cooking. When i was a kid i remember i've always asked my yaya if i could do the cooking, and when my mom went home she found me standing next to our "kalan" cooking monggo dish for our dinner, and she was shock then.
I'm a food lover, and i know non of us don't like to eat, isn't it? So i would like to show you my passion, which is COOKING. Yes, i do cook weather it's for my family or by request, just tell me and it'll be served with love :)


PORK ESTOFADO

I learned this recipe through my father in law, he was really good in cooking. And every time there will be a grand occasion at their barrio my father in law was the in charge for their food. Then there's this a time when my husband ask me to cook estofado, and i was ah? I don't have any idea how to cook it and I don't even know how taste lol... So i texted her sister to ask tatay on how to cook it, then afterwards when my husband's best friend came from abroad i made this estofado and it turned outwell. It really taste what they've wanted to be. Good job for me., and right there and then, my relatives "always" ask me to cook it whenever there's occasion in our family, it has been my specialty menu.

SPAGHETTI

Hmmm...does it looks yummy? Well taste it and you will surely love it! This i my favorite dish of all, I'm not into spaghetti but i love cooking it. I don't know why maybe i love eating carbonara rather than red sauce pasta. Funny thing i remember, the first i cooked spaghetti for my in laws it turned out into "sour" type of spaghetti, yes it's so maasim. hahaha, i was so ashamed, 'cause they didn't finished their eating. So my in law told me, hey, whenever you cook spaghetti don't put ketchup instead put condensed milk, and when i cooked it again, wow! i heard a lot of praises that my spghetti was the best. ^_^

PORK STRIP & CHICKEN LOLLIPOP w/ SOUR CREAM DIP

I've seen this dish in one of my favorite cooking show, but i never taste of this ever, so when my daughter had her party, i cooked this and i just made a sour cream dip.

SWEET 'N SOUR FISH

This is my mom's favorite dish, she have always asked me to cook this for her even in just an ordinary day. She just love the taste of it and believe me 1 fish is not enough to fill her stomach if this is the food.
So, that's all for now, stay tuned for another page of my passion, have lot of it to offer. ^_^

Happy Cooking!!!

Asiansation Christian Bautista Makes Drastic Changes; New and Bolder Sounds for Outbound under Universal Records

2011-11-10T23:10:00.000-08:00

CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA starred in his first international film A Special Symphony. He is part of the first Pan-Asian musical TV series The Kitchen Musical. He is also the only recording artist to receive a 4x Platinum Record Award for Romance Revisited: The Love Songs Of Jose Mari Chan for 2011. He worked with Grammy-nominated pianist Jim Brickman, K-Pop R&B trio One Way, and fronted for the concerts of K-Pop sensations Rain and 2NE1. He also topbilled jampacked concerts here and abroad. He also has numerous endorsements tucked under his belt coupled with billboards all over the Metro and has consistently won numerous awards and citations.
With all these career highlights, Christian Bautista remains humble expressing and thankful for all these blessings.
“Ever since I took the very first steps in my career, I cherished all the lessons and experiences I’ve gained through all those years- the ups and downs, the highlights and the difficult moments. These helped me hone my craft and led me to doors of opportunities. Every recognition that goes my way, favorable or critical comments on my work challenge me to do better because I owe it to my audience that I utilize my full potential,” says Christian with a smile.
It is a dream of many artists and performers to collaborate with some of the most respected people in the international recording scene. But the chance of it happening is pretty slim.
That is unless you are Christian Bautista.

Christian Bautista

Today, Asiansation Christian Bautista adds another feather to his cap as he launches his first international album Outbound.
Outbound features Christian’s collaboration with music producers and artists he met and worked with from the United States, Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Indonesia.
“It’s the first time that we want to try and attempt to do more outside the country. [And] Yes, I’m very proud of this album,” says Christian, smiling.
The album consists of eight songs which is a good mix of slow and upbeat ballads. The first single All That’s Left offers Christian’s new, bolder sound, and further proves that he is more than just a balladeer.
“Slowly nag-build up kasi ‘yan because of The Kitchen Musical. Parang nabigyan ako ng confidence to try something na kakaiba, na mas current na contemporary. So I told myself, sige let’s try this,” says Christian.
“But that doesn’t mean that I’ll turn my back on my ballads.”
While taping for The Kitchen Musical, Christian never stopped to get in touch with some of the region’s movers in the music industry until he met Tat Tong, composer of the anthemic All That’s Left.
In a phone interview, Christian shares, “Tat Tong kasi is a friend of Kewei [Tay]. Kewei and I did a duet for Please Be Careful With My Heart in Singapore. She later on, introduced me to Tat. And then through e-mail, I asked him: ‘Hey! I’m coming up with a new album. Do you have songs?’ So he gave us one [and] we all liked it. After that, we told him na, ‘Okay, make three more! Haha. [And] With Tat Tong kasi, steady lang kami e. We would throw ideas and stuff. And if it doesn’t work out, we would always tell na okay let’s do the thing tomorrow. We write and write and we never stop…”
And write they did. The remarkable results were All That’s Left and the other song Unphotographable.
Tat’s other masterpieces-original songs in Outbound include What Can I Do and his masterful arrangement on Christian’s cover of George Michael’s Faith, which is very special for Christian because it was used in his first big solo number in The Kitchen Musical.
Aside from Christian’s collaborations with Tat, Outbound gathers its noteworthy works with Grammy-nominated multi-platinum instrumentalist Jim Brickman for Never Far Away, the K-Pop R&B trio One Way for Wrong Number, Indonesian songwriter Satrio for the hit song I’m Already King, and with Avex Japan’s amazing Baby M for the lovely duet Sakura.
Christian’s music videos always feature familiar and beautiful female celebrities: from Anne Curtis, Georgina Wilson, Solenn Heusaff, and Angel Locsin (in Beautiful Girl) to Cristine Reyes (in I Remember The Girl) to Paula Taylor (in Tell Me Your Name) to Carmen Soo (in Afraid for Love to Fade) to Angelica Panganiban (in Nakaraang Pasko) to Sarah Geronimo (in Please Be Careful With My Heart).

In All That’s Left, it features CosPlay Queen Alodia Gosiengfiao. When asked what’s like working with her, Christian says, “Alodia’s beautiful, she’s talented, she stayed up with us [from] 8 PM to 8 AM. We danced all night long until 3 AM. It was fun.”
And while it’s apparent that Outbound has drawn him out of his comfort zone, Christian admits that it does not mean he will stop being a balladeer.
“For this album talaga kasi medyo half-half. Half experimental, half-medyo ballad pa rin naman siya. [And] Easy listening pa rin naman. Pero definitely I’m not going to drop the ballads,” he says, smiling. “Kasi siyempre, nagsimula ako sa ballads and du’n naman talaga ako kumportable. So hindi ko p’wedeng iwanan talaga ‘yun.”

As a performer, Christian believes he’s improved, but he’s not reached his peak. “Honestly, I do feel that I’m at my best so far. [But] I just hope I’m not at my best.”
He adds, “[And] As I continue this journey, I have reached another turn on the road ahead. This is the right time to pursue new paths and directions. And there is no better way to begin this new and exciting phase than to share my latest work with you. With your support and a personal sense of renewed energy and devotion, I am ready to face the challenge of the future.”
Outbound is out now in all major record bars nationwide under Universal Records.

MANG INASAL SHOWS LOVE WITH FIRST MEDIA AND BLOGGERS’ NIGHT

2011-08-02T13:00:00.000-07:00

I am proud that one of my best favorite restaurant supports OPM just like me. And I remember three months i just learned how to used the chicken oil at Mang Inasal when one of my office mates told me. I felt so ashamed that time, i have enjoyed eating there without adding chicken oil to my rice, haha!!! Until i was told that that's the used of that having it displayed there, then when i tried it...oh gee i had enjoyed more eating and it crave me for another cup of their UNLIMITED RICE!

Last night at T.E.A.T.R.I.N.O. in Promenade, Greenhills, was filled of fun, events, and games as Mang Inasal invited Media and well-known Bloggers for their launched of its newest campaign: I Love Mang Inasal, a look back into the reason why we Filipinos have fallen in love with this brand, and a look forward to bigger things to come.

Mang Inasal held this event to celebrate. Two more reasons to love Mang Inasal: the Mang Aawit Project, and the Grand Gadget Giveaway; the announcement of its 400^th store opening on August 5, at the Vmall Car Park in Greenhills. Two lucky audience members also walked away with brand new ASUS Eee Pad Transformers.

The Mang Aawit Project is Mang Inasal’s way of enriching the OPM scene. The project aims to aid eight deserving artists’ music grants and exposure to a wider audience as Mang Inasal shows its support to OPM.

Here are some of my taken photos.

OPM Pop heartthrobs 1:43

They are the first who performed that night but unluckily we were not able to see them graces the stage. But we still had a chance to chat with them :)

Sony Music's Acoustic Gem Stephanie Dan

I'm telling you she will be the next Acoustic Goddess, all of us were captured by her very distinct acoustic version of "Fireworks" and "Price Tag". And she have a very pretty face, and i told her "you look like Tinker Bell" she was like a fairy to me :)

Acoustic singer-composer Aries Sales

Next in line was Acoustic singer-composer from Davao Aries Sales, with his single "Ms. Masungit".

Comedian and Radio Host Onse Tolentino

Then, stand-up comedian and Radio host of DZBB Teleradyo never fails to impresses us with his jokes and very nice voice when he sung "May Bukas Pa" then make us go dance into the music with his very own novelty-dance song titled "AEIOU".

Pinoy Academy Scholar Sheng Belmonte

Who will ever get over with this sultry singer Sheng Belmonte who made me hate myself seeing her slowly bump her hips and surely made the guys feels hotter on that night especially when she sung her single "Gigil". And by the way she was also with Gloc-9 for the song "Walang Natira".

OPM Advocate Myrus

Second to the last finale performer was Myrus, who's launching his second all-original album anytime on September. He was also, a friend of mine :) and i support him all the way. I love his own version of "Patuloy and Pangarap".

Hit Maker Pop Band Kiss Jane

And the last but definitely not the least Kiss Jane which really made the crowd baliw with their hit single ever "Baliw" an ABS-CBN's theme song for korean series My Princess and "Lagi" from My GF is a Gumiho.

Tunog Natin 2nd Leg OPM Concert for Freedom by Avida Tower Centera

2011-07-31T01:01:00.000-07:00

11 OPM Artists

I have witness the first huge and successful Tunog Natin that was held in Ayala Triangle, Makati by Avida Land. And last July 23, 2011, another huge and very successful 2nd Tunog Natin OPM Concert was prepared for the launching of Avida Towes Centera this time in Madaluyong City. The crowd was happy and luckily i made myself to be there! Truly shows how much we audiences and artists struggle to fight for the survival of Original Pilipino Music (OPM). They've got 11 OPM Artists from 80's, 90's up to present that performed and rocks us! The legendary rock band The Dawn; pop rock artist Tanya Markova; pop quartet Kiss Jane; pop and rnb Myrus; acoustic prince Davey Langit; and balladeer Faith Cuneta. True Faith was there, who also present in the first Tunog Natin.

I never thought that i will meet Kiss Jane, so great!!! Likewise, to Faith Cuneta, who's so cool and she had this genuine kindness to her heart. Also, they've got the back to back performances of Barbie Almabis and Kithchie Nadal which really gave the highlights of that concert! Kitchie's edgy, and intense vocals plus Barbies distinctly endearing singing style was the combination that brought us up back to 1990s, when these two ladies ruled the alternative pop-alternative rock scene.

Also performed there was the singer-song writer and actress Aiza Seguerra, one of OPM’s most talented hit-makers. The crowd begun to roar when Aiza started to strung her guitar with her new version of her hit single “Pagdating Ng Panahon”. Listening and watching her perform really shows how she was been loved by the crowd. Fantastic!

Mitch Valdes is one of the leaders of Original Pilipino Music and oe of the originators of the Filipio singer’s organization “Organisasyon Ng Mga Pilipinong Mang-aawit, and currently the chairwoman of the board.

MedChef Homemade Cakes, Pastries and Desserts on their 1st year Anniversary

2011-07-27T23:10:00.000-07:00

Located at 139 Mo. Ignacia, Diliman Quezon City

I was cordially invited to be part of the celebration of their 1^st year anniversary on the business known as MedChef the true home of delicious, mouth-watering and simply irresistible cakes, pastries and desserts. First and foremost, let’s start with their name MedChef; I’m sure all of us have a question back in our mind why it was named Medchef. Is he a Doctor/Chef? Hahaha! Actually, your right! Med is Jayson Carlos he is registered Medical Technologist in St. Luke’s Hospital. Then, after a couple of years, he decided to shift into Marketing and Networking Business. And now he’s one of the executives of Goals Unlimited Corporation. He also owned Medchef’s Cake shop.

Jayson Carlos

MedChef will not be possible without the chef itself. Chef Hasset Go, the man behind the scene. He was middle child of Ms Lorelie Go. His Mom used to bake cake when he was still a child he’s the one who decorate it. He started at a young age of 12 when he worked as a service crew in order for to support his studies; then he became the youngest Pastry Chef and assistant of Chef Jane Paredes & Chef Ed Quimson, where he served his specialty cakes to some famous celebrities we have like Queen of all Media Kris Aquino, Vicki Belo, Tessa Prieto-Valdez, Katrina Ponce Enrile, Edu Manzo among others. Chef has also found his niche in culinary scene. He also established the title as head chef in Salt and Pepper Restaurant in less than 2 years which is located in Makati. And later he became a consultant to different country clubs and resorts.

Chef Hasset Go

Define Cakes, Pastries and Desserts? MedChef is the first name that comes in my mind. Why? Because they’ve got everything I want. So when Mark told us about this event and invited us,thi is something I don’t want to missed out. I didn’t have a second thought, because this is one of my favourites to eat cake. Maybe I was born with sweet tooth. Hahaha!!! I went there with my cousin Rueka. On the first minute that we arrived, Jayson and Chef Hasset already welcome us with all gratitude. And as we all took o our seats, they’ve started to serve us their variety of cakes and flooded us with drinks from their beloved and supportive sponsors; Ceres juices, Pepsi, and evian bottled water. That was really awesome!!!

Flooded cakes and drinks!

Then suddenly, our attention was hooked when the models took the floor and started to ramp carrying luscious cakes, which we could also eat. That was the best part!

Despite the rainy evening outside, MedChef gave the guests the warmth accommodation inside the cakeshop, keep on assuring that we are all okey and fully loaded with foods and drinks.

Akiko of Star Power was there, she also loved cake from MedChef, and she sang a song for everyone and she really sings well JJJ Rey Pumaloy and Richard Pinlac were also spotted.

Through word of mouth, their cakes and pastries have become bestsellers, and the goodwill they’ve shown to their ever-growing clients seems to have translated into their new project as both demand and cake orders have likewise been stronger than expected. 2 thumbs up for Jayson And Chef Hasset!!! Happy 1^st year anniversary and congratulation for the success of your party and I’m looking forward to be there on you 2^nd,3^rd, 4^th so on and so forth anniversary to come JMore power!

Me & my cousin Rueka!
Thank You!!!

Highly recommended!
Thank you Mark Joseph Miranda Delgado!!! I enjoyed it very much!!!

Tunog Natin! Colors of Freedom OPM Concert in Makati

2011-07-04T22:06:00.000-07:00

Long live OPM Artists!!!

I am a music lover, anything that goes with music. I used to listen to OPM music most of my time, or should I say that’s my favourite past time next to eating(haha) when I’m on my way to office, even somewhere else, when I’m cleaning the house or simply when I’m lying before bedtime. I found it so relaxing. And I can easily relate myself to every song I listen to. By the way, what I love about OPM was because of their composition is very relevant to each and everyone who gets to listen to it. And I was so lucky because I’ve got the chance to be part of the Tunog Natin (OPM ARTIST Free Concert) last June 15, 2011 that was been held in Ayala Triangle, Makati. And that was so amazing indeed! I’ve seen most of my favourite bands, likewise to my favourite solo performers singing those beautiful songs. Oh my gosh! That was the most wonderful feeling, I experienced being there. And I could say that’s the best! Cheers!

My Favourite Pizza :> Shakey's!!!

2011-06-19T00:41:00.000-07:00

Last June 12, 2011(Sunday) I celebrated my 28^th birthday, we went out to eat to one of my favourite Pizza restaurant (Shakey’s). I just want to share with you guys how much I love pizza, by the way, i’ m a food lover so whatever you offer me (depends on how it taste) will surely be eaten hahaha! But anyhow, I chose Shakey’s as one of the tastiest pizza I’ve ever tasted and it made me crave for it every time I remember how it smells, how it taste and how it fulfilled my happiness when it comes to eating. And what is good about shakeys is they have variety of food which is very cheap and delicious! And i'm sure not all of us likes to eat pizza, instead they will prefer pasta or chicken and im telling you they could serve it you...

Manager's Choice Pizza

Chef's Choice Salad

This is how i eat (hahaha)

hope you can visit their nearest store at your place, and you will enjoy all of your favourite dishes which they have... Thumbs up shakeys!!!
