* FHM December 2010 with Ellen Adarna

It was an early Christmas gift for FHM fans for their current issue. Ellen Adarna is the cover girl for FHM this month with Xander Angeles for the photos.

Almost everyone knows Ellen Adarna from being an online celebrity through her friendster then to fame, her photos are all over the net and mobile phones. Ellen Adarna is now in showbiz appearing in different shows in GMA 7 including Bubble Gang. I was lucky to met her 2008 at an event held at Ascend and she was really nice.

The Latest FHM issue is very classy and surprises it's readers (as always) with it's contents, for the current issue they featured the Premiere Vixen winners Karen Bordador, Christine Marquez and Paulene So, they also featured the Eye Candies led by Nestle Garcia. Former Mocha member Grace Oracion is also featured and more.

FHM is getting better and better and looking forward for the next issue and of course the event for this month's issue.

* FHM November 2010 featuring Ehra and Michelle Madrigal

For the two months in a row now I skipped attending the monthly FHM Autograph Signing but good thing my magazines are still signed (Thanks to my friends). This month FHM featured the Madrigal sisters, Ehra and Michelle who is also one of the castaways in the on going show in GMA 7 Survivor Philippines Celebrity Edition.

The issue was very nice, it featured the 1971 Meralco Reddies which is considered the toughest basketball team assembled in the Philippines, RRJ girls, reviews and of course the nice and classy photos of the Madrigal Sisters by Doc Marlon.

Me and my beloved Iphone 4

Since I saw the preview of the new Apple Iphone 4 month ago, I told myself that I really want this gadget and I would get one once it's available here.

Finally last month I was able to get one for myself and I can say the price is really worth it. Phone specifications are really amazing with it's HD Videos, Music, 5 megapixel camera, games, wifi accesability anytime (YM, Chikka,Skype, Facebook and more apps) and I can even call my friend aboad using facetime.

Apple's Iphone 4 really suits me and my lifestyle, I don't get bored during my vacant time especially when I have to wait during photoshoots.

* Clavel Sneaker Magazine with Paloma

This is my second Clavel Sneaker magazine the first one was with Jinri Yuriko Park on the cover and now a friend of mine Paloma. Saw the behind the scenes photos in Japan for this shoot. The shoot is for Kikstyo an international seller (also online) of shirts, caps, hoodies and more. I checked the website www.kikstyo.com and saw their items and it's very nice.

Clavel Magazine is mostly about shoes, reviews, news and the latest about the sneakers world. The issue was very nice and sexy. The photos are really nice and classy. The launching was held last September 18 at Attica in A.Venue and too bad I have work and I wasn't able to attend.

* Resident Evil: After Life

After years of waiting for this movie, finally I was able to watch it. I'm a big fan of the game since Playstation 1 days and also the movie. This time Alice (Milla Jovovich) returns again for Resident Evil: After Life. The movie is also available in 3d version by the way.

The movie as always has tons of zombies infected by the virus but guess what Chris Redfield is featured in this film portrayed by Wentworth Miller also known as Michael Scofield of Prison Break. Chris and sister Claire got together in this sequel after being separated for years. Alice still on her pursuit to destroy Umbrella together with her clones and six months later tried to locate "Arcadia" or the promise land because it was told to be a safe area somewhere in Alaska but no one was there but instead she found Claire. Together Alice and Claire went back to the Los Angeles and found survivors in a prison, there they found Chris Redfield. Zombies were able to go inside through the sewers so Alice and company tried to escape and went to the real "Arcadia" which is a ship. In Arcadia they found a lot of survivors who where supposed to be subjects for experiments for Umbrella. There they found Albert Wesker and beats him. Wesker tried to escape and tried to detonate Arcadia but Alice however transferred the bomb in Wesker's jet. Alice and company where able to free the survivors in the end. The movie ends where a lot of Umbrella choppers are on their way to Arcadia and now I don't know what will happen next, still needed to wait for a year or two for the sequel.

* Bleachers - John Grisham

Another Football related story by John Grisham. This time it's more on stories about the past, triumph and fall of the characters. Story is about the famous "All-American" Quarterback Neely Crenshaw of the Messina Spartans who went back to his town to visit his highschool fotball coach Eddie Rake. Former players gather and recall their football days as Spartans. Stories of the players and what happened to them after all those years and how they loved the game and showed dedication to every game.

I'm a fan of John Grisham and I like this book because of the drama, I can say there are missing parts but the way the story was told was really nice.

* Playing For Pizza - John Grisham

Finished another book after reading For One More Day and this time it's John Grisham's Playing for Pizza. I'm a fan of John Grisham's books and movies based on his book and most of all are about laws, lawyers, trials, juries, court and more. I was able to drop by at a book store and saw this book. Read the summary and I was amazed that this book is not about the other Grisham's books because this one is about sports.

The book is about a NFL Quarterback named RickDockery who made a lot of mistakes in their AFC Championship game that made the Cleveland Browns losing the game and missing their first Super Bowl appearance. People called him Goat/Choker, Rick was cut from the team and everyone is mad at him. No one wanted to sign him as a player and he is to young to retire, Arnie his agent helped him and as a last resort he was offered to play in Italy for the Parma Panthers. The story goes on and how Rick became a better player and loved the game and his teamates.

Another good read :)

* For One More Day - Mitch Albom

I wasn't able to read book for several years now, last time I finished reading a book I guess was way back 2007. I told myself that I needed to read books again and have some break from sitting in front of my computer surfing the net. May this year I bought two books from Powerbooks MOA which is The Last Song of Nicholas Sparks and For One More Day by Mitch Albom. I can say I'm a fan of Mitch Albom's book from Tuesday with Morrie to The Five People You Meet in Heaven and now here's For One More Day.

Finished the book in 2 days (maybe slow for others but the fastest so far for me) Like the author's previous novels, this book is very heartwarming and it's about our Mother.

The books tells a story about a troubled man named Chick Benetto who is a former baseball player and his life from his childhood to his life as an adult. It tells his ups and downs from his career, with his family and his parents. A very inspirational book and after reading the book I can say that I gave more importance to my parents, specially my Mom.

Heard that there is a movie version of the book but I haven't watched it yet.

* UFC Undisputed for PSP

It's been a while since I used my PSP for hours in a day, I thought of buying a PS3 console in the future for the UFC Undisputed game but of course I need to save for that. Then I saw my brother downloading a PSP version for UFC Undisputed. Transferred it to my PSP and tried playing it and I can say I liked it. Graphics wise is far from the PS3 game but it's fun. Different divisions from Lightweight to Heavyweight. MMA stars can be selected BJ Penn, GSP, Matt Hughes, Chuck Liddell, Dan Henderson, Brock Lesnar and more. Gamers can select Stadiums and Referees as well. There is only one person missing in this game which is Randy Couture, I'm not sure if he's a secret character here or there's a task that I need to complete so he can be selected. Well overall I can say it's a good game especially for MMA fans. KO's and submissions are very cool.

* Nitro-Tech Hardcore Pro Series

My Gold's gym card :)

Supplements I've used

A friend of mine suggested for me to try the latest Nitro-Tech product which is Nitro-Tech Hardcore Pro Series, I've tried Weider's Megamass 2000 and 4000 and also Met-RX Size Up but I can say this one worked for me. There's is a privilege in the office where we can enroll at Gold Gym with of course a big discount so me and some friends took advantage of it and at the same time I bought the product. I've heard good feedbacks from the web and from my friends. I bought mine at Cash and Carry mall 4lb for 3000 pesos and mall price is around 5k-6k. The taste is good (Chocolate Flavor) compare to Met-Rx Size Up and it melts easily, best to combine with milk. For my first 7 days I gained 5lbs and after 2 more weeks another 7lbs of course with heavy workout program, complete sleep, vitamins and I eat more compared before. The 4lbs has a free shirt as well that has a Muscle-Tech logo in front of the shirr size "L" and it's too big for me (for now). For one month use I gained 12lbs from 145lbs to 157lbs which is really not bad. Will definitely be using and recommending this product.

From 125lbs - 157lbs

* Nike Hyperize AP

I just recently bought my Nike Hyperize AP or Hyperize Philippines Edition, I can say that I am really a fan of Philippine inspired items like my adidas Philippines track jacket and this shoe. It's been a while since I bought a basketball shoes and the last kicks that I bought was a black high cut Chucks. Since I do play basketball alot, I decided to buy one. Some of my friends told me to just get the Class A ones at Greenhills or Metropolis but of course the quality is still the subject here. I saw the price at the Nike store and it cost around 7.2k so I tried checking ebay.ph and I found a seller who is selling it (brand new) for 5.8k only. Before I deal with the seller, after a basketball game at Starmall Alabang me and a friend checked out if there is a fake version and good thing there is none. I contacted the seller and we met at Trinoma.

5 extra lace

My review for the shoes is it very light and comfortable. Since I do jum alot, this shoes is right for me. I like the design and the free 5 extra lace with 5 colors (green and yellow, green, yellow, blue and red). I chose the hyperize than the hyperdunk because of the design and the color. I'm starting to get addicted to shoes now and planning to buy another one this December.

* Kamen Rider "The First"

I was really a sentai fan and mostly the sentai groups like shinkenger, dekaranger and more. My youngest brother is the one who is really into Kamen Rider. He's is downloading the episodes and movies just like what I do with my sentai stuff. I was really not into kamen rider before, I can still recall when I was a kid I love watching Masked Rider Black in channel 13 and 5. I had my first kamen rider toy when I was in 2nd year highschool but had my first bioman toy when I was 7 years old. Anyways recently I started watching Kamen Rider series and started to buy toys as well, I bought a Kamen Rider kiva Vinyl.
Well my blog is about the first Kamen Rider I've watched and I can say I liked it and recommends it. The film star is Masaya Kikawada as the main character Takeshi Hongo. First saw Masaya Kikawada in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon as the turtle guy. Thru research the movie was shown december 2005 and saw it after 4 years lolz.

The movie is about Takeshi being being kidnapped by the group Shocker (Sacred Hegemony Of Cycle Kindred Evolutional Realm) and turning him into an inhumanoid (kamen rider) gaved him the nickname "Hopper" he gained super strength and has a mission to do and that is to kill all those who have seen's Shocker's Inhumanoid soldiers. However her remembered he was human and has forgotten his mission, he was called traitor because he doesn't want to follow the orders from Shocker instead he fought them. Shocker sent inhumanoids to finish him off and created a new inhumanoid (Hassei Takano) Hayato Ichimonji another hopper to finish him but in the end became his friend and ally to save the girl that they liked.

I can say the story of this Kamen Rider movie is really good, what I liked it they fight without their helmets
