First published as a novel it has been revived, re-imagined, redone and has served as general inspiration for other novels, movies, operas and plays like Miss Saigon and David Henry Hwang’s M.Butterly

And now because of Jhett Tolentino and FRONTROW Entertainment , Iloilo, Dumaguete, Cebu, Davao, Manila and Baguio will have the pleasure of experiencing the three time Tony Award winning dramatic and moving spectacle for Best Play, Best Feature Actor and Best Director.


Synopsis: René Gallimard is a member of the French embassy in China. René is mild mannered and considers himself to be poor with women. He meets and falls in love with Chinese opera star Song Liling, a woman whom he considers to be the embodiment of the perfect woman, Madame Butterfly. But when West meets East, everything is not what it seems…. #Frontrow #MButterfly


The M. BUTTERFLY National Tour 2019 was made to bring the world-class masterpiece to those who did not have the opportunity to catch its 2018 Manila run. After all, location should not limit one’s exposure to the arts and culture.



I really want to see this as I find the plot extremely interesting and paints a look at how westerners/europeans view people in the asian regions during those time (dare I say even now). Also the fact that *spoiler* the leading man falls in love with a man in drag, as most plays during that time are played by an all male cast.

I'm not really a sentimental type of person. But recently with the onslew of 'hugot' commercials, most of them really well done, I can understand the appeal and I can definitely appreciate it. They are a little late to the game though as I've seen a really sweet commercial way back (the vow and the Mc Donald's one)...

I know some guys who aren't Monday people. The feeling of dread usually starts on a Sunday and gradually increases as the day goes by. I also know that Tuesday is just as bad as Monday (at least it is for me sometimes). While technically not being the start of the week, it's just as far from Friday as is Monday.

Now on it's second year, Bonbon Festival is back to celebrate Arts, Environment and Community in a one of a kind one-day event which will be participated by young professionals, students, different artists in Batangas Province, and invited guests from other places.

Conveniently located in one of the business districts and lifestyle hotspots in Manila, Burgos Eats combines well-loved restaurants in a laid-back casual shared-space concept. Think "co-working" for restaurants! Or think fancy food courts at the mall...only outside the mall. :))

Burgos Eats allows MGI—the largest casual dining operator in the country—to go beyond their individual stores and create a venue where a community of diners can interact with each other and some of the company’s loved food brands, such as Yellow Cab, Pancake House, Teriyaki Boy, Krispy Kreme, and Jamba Juice.

One of the features this shared-space brings is that you don't have to restaurant-hop to try each restaurant you want. For example, you can order from Krispy Kreme while staying put at Jamba Juice with your smoothie.

This table in the middle can be occupied by anyone dining from any of the restaurants available inside Burgos Eats. Benches and stools are also available within the area so there's plenty of seating to go around.



During the launch last November 2nd we were treated to live music by  Roxy Modesto, Slow Sink and KidThrones. Sax with techno (or was it house? I have no idea) with guitar and violin. Experimental. Different. And it was really good.

The "old-worn-out-wood" look. The furniture. The roof. The lanterns. THE SLIDING DOORS! This particular branch of Teriyaki Boy screams authentic Japanese facade. Amazing job designers.

This new hub will be a dining experience I can't wait to try with my friends soon.


What do you think? Will you check it out?

PS. You really have to go see it for yourself. I imagine it would be prettier at night, but that's just because I liked the lighting so much that time.
PPS. Here I am moonlighting as a Juicer(?). Is that how they're called? Thanks for letting me make my own drink at Burgos Eats MGI! Good thing they gave me the recipe. I just wanted to get all the fruit I could find and chuck it in the blender.

With the surge of the popularity of Beauty YouTubers, Gorgeous Brand Ambassadors and Beauty Bloggers and Vloggers a lot of people (now more than ever) are now experimenting and expressing their creativity through makeup.

I know a lot of people buy makeup that they "saw in this particular video" or "read on this particular site" that they don't know how to properly utilize because they don't know where to even begin.
