Red Box Cebu

Red Box had recently launched in Cebu and I, together with CBS and print media friends, got a glimpse of what they had to offer during the RSVP event last September 2, 2010. The chic and modern design of Red Box is not like any other Karaoke bars in Cebu, spacious and not to mention they have a pool table and a poker table.

They also offer a unique billing. They bill per head and not by the hour. So better be in a singing or chilling mood when you go to Red Box to get your money's worth! Red Box offers 299php package with lunch buffet from 12noon -3pm. 199php for 3pm-7pm with free drink and 299php from 7pm up!

Red Box is located at the Terraces  Ayaala Center Cebu below Bread Talk!

Sarah Geronimo had gone a long way! She just did world tour  concert  including Canda and the US and is now completing her Philippine tour. When she visited Cebu, I had a chance to interview her at the airport and after the concert. So read on and know Sarah G. a bit more!

How many costume change did you have on your Record Breaker Concert in Cebu? Who are the designers involved?
Sa Cebu’s Record Breaker Concert, probably mga 4 costume changes. Some designers involved sa wardrobe ko are Rajo Laurel and Rhett Eala.

How did you celebrate your birthday?
Nasa bahay lang ako the whole day. My family and I shared a quiet. All the gifts I received are special and I would like to thank all my friends and family for loving me and supporting me always, both sa career and my personal life.

How involved are you now in the decision making of your projects?
“Yes. Mas involved na po ako sa mga projects na ginagawa ko. I talk to my manager if may concerns ako. Kapag may hesitations ako about a project, vino-voice out ko na.

What are the things you miss?
“Gusto ko sana magbakasyon. Yung maka-bonding ko yung friends ko sa high school at mga kapatid ko at mag-camping.”The last time ako nagbakasyon is when nagtour kami sa U.S., for a week. Sobra namimiss ko mga friends ko sa highschool. Namimiss ko syempre yung hangouts, kulitan, tawanan. Last time ko nakita highschool friends ko last year pa, but I saw two of my highschool friends sa premier ng Hating Kapatid but wala kaming chance makapagusap dahil maraming tao.

What are your favorite Cebuano foods/delicacies?
I love danggit! And Uo yung spicy Cebu Lechon! Nilibre ako ni Kuya Luis (Manzano).

How do you feel that Matteo Guidacelli admitted his admiration for you?
Haha! No comment na lang. Sabi ko nga, wala namang masamang mag-admire kasi ako rin naman hinahangaan ko din si Matteo dahil gwapo at magaling na car racer. So wala naman sigurong masama dun.

What’s your message to the Cebuanos?
Sana nanood at nagenjoy yung mga Cebuanos sa Record Breaker Concert ko sa Waterfront together with Charlie Green, Erick Santos, Jimmy Marquez and the G-force dancers. At sana din nanuod din sila ng movie ko with Ate Judee Ann na Hating Kapatid. Nagpapasalamt din ako sa support ng lahat ng Cebuano fans.


What are the other legs of your tour?
Record Breaker Concert will also be at Island Cove, Cavite on August 20 and the Arellano Coliseum in Cabanatuan on August 27. My other shows will be on September 3 at Ormoc; September 17 at Lipa, Batangas; September 13 at Zamboanga City; October 1 in Bataan and October 8 in Bacolod.

 Sarah G and Doyzkie!

IMAX Cebu PreLaunch Party!

3 Designers, 3 DJs , 3 Dimensional! It’s all about 3D as the much awaited IMAX theater in SM City Cebu is finally here! The pre launch party was a celebration of Cebuano talents in fashion and music as three of Cebu’s paramount fashion designers Edwin Ao, Arcy Gayatin and Philip Rodriguez who collaborated for the 3D fashion show and backed with 3 propitious Cebuano Disk Jockeys Bong Suzara, Marlon Orellano and Mael Lavares!

After glazing the Asian Designers Collection for the recent Tokyo Fashion Week with his “Mutilate Collection”, Edwin Ao flaunted his chef d'oeuvre pieces to the Cebuanos. Inspired from the twisted body figures of figurative artist Egon Schieles, “Mutilate” is contrived with fabrics done in flannel wool and black and beige Thai silk.

”Blue Moon Rising” was a master work set done by Ms. Arcy Gayatin. Arcy shares that even though her designs are feminine they never are saccharine, playing around with structure and fluidity. For her structured pieces, she used lace and wire making the shoulders defined looking like armors. As for her fluid pieces, Arcy made use of used Jersey that were draped, pleated or shirred with mesh details. As always, her inspiration come from the fabrics she work on, experimenting, inventing and discovering new possibilities.

Philip Rodriguez sired “ Shadow Play” from the different movies he watched. A play of textures and finish – thin and thick, matte and shiny fabrics, snake skin and tulle. “Shadow Play” is reinventing past looks to contemporary in black and sage green colors that are very urban.

IMAX 3D Launch Party and 3D Fashion Show was organized by Cybill Gayatin and Kaye Luym of A-list Events. Fashion show was directed by Edwin Ao and technical and visuals by Mikey Sanchez. SM City Cebu IMAX Theater special screening would be on July 7, 2010 and grand launch on the 8th of July featuring James Cameron’s epic motion picture “Avatar” and will be open to the public on July 9, 2010 showing Cameron’s movie blockbuster hit for a week.
