Iloilo's Gourmet Italian Restaurant..







Have you ever wanted to visit Italy to absorb its rich and influential heritage or perhaps immerse yourself in the alluring Mediterranean Coast? If you’re in Iloilo, start by getting a sense of Italy through its famed cuisine at Amalfi Cucina Italia.

Amalfi got its name from historic port town in the western coast of Italy. The Town of Amalfi, included in the UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites, is an important tourist destination because of its vast collection of old buildings and great coastal sceneries. Amalfi is also famous in Italy for its indulgent cuisine which relies on sun-kissed vegetables and herbs, salty capers, dried pasta, and fresh farmhouse cheeses (most notable of which is its water buffalo’s mozzarella).

Amalfi Cucina Italia has a wide range of Italian dishes to choose from tasty pasta and pizza, fresh salads and soups, mouth watering steaks, to sweet desserts and an excellent collection of wine. Although the prices are a bit expensive by Iloilo’s standards, the delicious food at Amalfi is definitely worth it. If you’re planning on impressing a date through a romantic dinner, then Amalfi should be your first option.

Amalfi is located in The Avenue building in Pison Complex more popularly known as Smallville, Iloilo’s prime entertainment destination. Amalfi is open everyday for lunch and dinner.

One Step at a Time..


Life As We Know It..



In "Life as We Know It," Holly Berenson (Katherine Heigl) is an up-and-coming restaurateur and Eric Messer (Josh Duhamel) is a promising network sports director.

After a disastrous blind date, the only thing they have in common is their dislike for each other and their love for their goddaughter, Sophie.

But when they suddenly become all what Sophie has in the world, Holly and Messer are forced to put their differences aside. Juggling career ambitions and competing social calendars, they'll have to find some common ground while living under one roof.

"Life as We Know It" is directed by Greg Berlanti from a screenplay by first time feature writers Ian Deitchman & Kristin Rusk Robinson. The film also stars Josh Lucas, Christina Hendricks and Hayes MacArthur.

* I will definitely watch this movie because aside from it being a love story and a family-oriented movie, it features two of my most loved actors of their generation, Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel who is absolutely hot! This is a movie that will make you believe that everything happens for a reason and fate can work in the most unexpected ways.

“Don’t stop believing, hold on to that feeling…” This is one of many songs made even more popular by the latest craze sweeping not only the nation, but the entire world: the musical television series Glee! It is filled with drama, comedy, and of course, loads of songs and dances. Every episode promises songs that will get you belting out the tune anytime, anywhere. It’s that infectious. Plus, it presents issues that any person can relate to – insecurities, relationship problems, gender biases, and many more. It also teaches us that we should accept who we are and learn to believe in ourselves.
Season 2 just started and it is looking good. So far, it’s been Britney Spears and Charice. I can’t wait for the next episodes. I am a certified Gleek!

Where's Tyra Banks when we need her?




Australia's Next Top Model 2010 Finals: Amanda Ware, 17, left, is announced winner after a botched announcement initially declaring Kelsey Martinovich as winner.


Blunder Down Under!
Australia's Next Top Model' Host Announces Wrong Winner on Live Finale!

Monday night's finale of "Australia's Next Top Model" included one of the most cringe-worthy moments of the year, when host Sarah Murdoch announced the wrong name of the winner! During the live TV finale, Murdoch announced 19-year-old Kelsey Martinovich was the new catwalk queen, defeating runner-up Amanda Ware — and proceeded to let Kelsey celebrate and even give a brief victory speech.

"I just want to thank the runners-up, they've been amazing and all the girls for keeping me on my toes," Kelsey beamed. "Ah, this is crazy!"

However, moments later, Murdoch — who married News Corp. media mogul Rupert Murdoch's son, Lachlan, in 1999 — became quiet and a shocked look came over her face as she listened to producers in her ear tell her she said the wrong name.

"Oh my God. I don't know what to say right now. I'm feeling a bit sick about this," a stunned Murdoch said on the air as the entire audience and the contestants went silent. "I'm so sorry about this. Oh my God. I don't know what to say. This is a complete accident, I'm so sorry. It's Amanda. It was fed to me wrong.

"This is what happens when you have live TV folks, I'm so sorry," Murdoch added. "This is insane."

However, as gracious as Kelsey was in her victory speech, she was equally polite in her realization of defeat.

"It's OK," she said as she comforted a visibly upset Murdoch. "It's an honest mistake. It's all right Sarah. It's fine!"

An equally stunned Amanda was caught off guard by the mix up and when given the stage to accept her title, she could only say "Really, thanks guys!" with a big smile on her face.

* You're a good sport Kelsey! I hope one day you will get the award that you truly deserve, it may not be in a competition but remember the greatest award that you can ever receive is the goals you have achieved and the lives you have touched. Never give up on your dreams because God has a plan for each one of us & if you don't succeed in the modeling industry, there are more fulfilling things in life outside the borders of that industry. For Sarah, please be careful next time! Review the name of the winner a hundred times to make sure that when you go up on stage and announce the final results, it is the right person. Have a great life! Xoxo- Reine

I see dead people

How would it be to be able to talk to those who have passed on? Melinda Gordon has to face this particular situation in the (cancelled) show Ghost Whisperer. She is a newly married woman living in a small town and she owns an antique shop. However, this is not her only job. She also possesses the gift of communicating with spirits and she helps them resolve their issues for them to cross the light. As she does this, she has to deal with her personal life, risking the reputation of her sanity, as well face other entities from the “other side”.

I can’t get enough of this show. It’s horrifying and intriguing at the same time. You want to stop watching because your heart is already palpitating, but you just have to find out what the real deal is with the ghost. The storylines are unexpected, and full of drama and suspense. However, I also can’t wait to see Jim and Melinda together. They are so cute as a married couple, plus Jim is very supportive of his wife. It doesn’t hurt that he’s cute too.:)
Wouldn’t it be scary, though, to have this kind of gift? I don’t think I could handle seeing ghosts at every corner, popping out at all times. I would be screaming my head off all the time. So, I’ll leave the ghost chit-chat to Melinda Gordon.

Goodbye.. Rose!







'Titanic' Actress Gloria Stuart Dies At 100

Gloria Stuart - the longtime Hollywood veteran popularly recognized for her role as the elder Rose in James Cameron's "Titanic" - has died. Stuart was 100.

"Gloria Stuart Sheekman expired in her sleep shortly after 8 PM in the evening Sunday September 26th, 2010, in the bed she had built decades earlier out of two life size merry go round horses,," Stuart's family said in a statement to Access Hollywood on Monday. "She was attended by her daughter Sylvia Vaughn Thompson and her extended family." Born on July 4, 1910, in Santa Monica, Calif., Stuart's career kicked off in the early 1930s as the star of numerous horror films and musicals. Her resume boasts an impressive list of credits, which spanned eight decades in stage, film and TV. Some of her most notable roles included "The Old Dark House" (1932), "The Invisible Man" (1933) and "The Prisoner of Shark Island" (1936). However, it was her role in Cameron's 1997 blockbuster "Titanic" -- starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet -- which earned Stuart her first Oscar nomination, for her turn as Rose Calvert, the survivor of the legendary sunken vessel.

At age 87, she became the oldest actress ever to be nominated for an Academy Award. However, the Best Supporting Actress Oscar went to Kim Basinger for "L.A. Confidential that year.

Access Hollywood was on the scene for Stuart's 100th birthday party in July of this year, where her "Titanic" co-star Suzy Amis and director James Cameron were on hand to help her celebrate the milestone. "We've stayed close since the making of 'Titanic,'" Cameron said at the time, noting he first met the actress in 1996 when she was 86. "She loves life and she loves people. She's got a great wit and she likes the humor inherent in any situation and she just is a great person that we can all learn a lot from in terms of values. I have infinite respect for her."

Not surprisingly, Stuart left a lasting impact on many of the people she worked with.


After appearing in more than 40 films from 1932 - 1939, and then in only four films during the 1940s, Stuart retired from acting for a while, according to the LA Times.

She made her return to the profession in 1975, with several small TV roles. Her return to the big screen came in 1982 with a role in the comedy "My Favorite Year," starring Peter O'Toole.

Subsequent projects leading up to her "Titanic" comeback included 1984's "Mass Appeal" starring Jack Lemmon and the 1986 football comedy "Wildcats" starring Goldie Hawn.

In 2000, she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Her final acting credit is listed as Lionsgate's 2001 thriller "The Million Dollar Hotel" starring Mel Gibson and Milla Jovovich.

* You will forever be remembered our beloved Rose, Thank you and Goodbye!
