BELLA DIMAYUGA talents in awesome performances

Currently making waves are talents of Ms. Bella Dimayuga (of the famous Bellestar Promotions),
who go under the name of Divah Las Divahs and the Phil. Juicy Fruits. The first is a comedy group who's getting to be one of the hottest, most entertaining and most hilarious groups in town. Working together for two years now, they've performed all over the country.
The Phil. Juicy Fruits , on the other hand, is a singing-dancing group who's been much awarded despite the fact that it is just a relatively young group put together by Ms. Dimayuga also two years ago. They are sought -after for events and special shows and they have wowed audiences for their impressive singing, showmanship, lavish costumes , and comic antics as well.
Just recently , these two groups of entertainers performed before several visiting mayors from Guam who watched them in awe ( at the Convention Center at Subic Bay Freeport Zone) and who were impressed enough to have invited them to perform in Guam. Playing host to the mayors was Olongapo Mayor Bong Gordon, who is himself a singer and recording artist.

ALJUR AND KRIS

Aljur and Kris had several kissing scenes in the movie. Kris said one kiss even lasted for five minutes.
In the movie , it was for the first time that Kris wore a two-piece, and Aljur in a swimming trunk. That's why there was much friction of the flesh!
Aljur said "When you watch the movie , you will be drawn , not at how many times Kris and I kissed, but by the beauty of the story. Come to think of it, we really had a lot of intimate and daring scenes that we've never done before- which make this movie all the more significant to our love team."
The movie also proves that Aljur is indeed one of the sexiest eligible bachelors.
Regal Films executive Roselle Moteverde-Teo said "aside from the romantic scenes of today's hottest love-team, Aljur and Kris, ' Nandito Ako.... Nagmamahal sa yo is a story of enduring love, selflessness, forgiveness and sacrifice. I'm sure a lot can be learned from this movie about transcending all problems, barriers and limitations and fighting for one's true love."
"Nandito Ako.... Nagmamahal Sa Yo" opens on Sept.30 in all theaters nationwide with a premiere night on Sept. 27 at SM Megamall.

DINGDONG SCALES THE STAIRWAY TO SUCCESS

 Dingdong Dantes latest soap opera , the Filipino adaptation of the popular and hit "Korean-telenovela" "Stairway to Heaven" airs on the Kapuso network's primetime block.
  So what kind of pressure is Dingdong feeling right now? "The pressure is coming from different sources. First, is the success of the original Korean TV series. Second, after so many years , the series is revived and in a local version. Then there's the character requirement because much is expected from me as Cholo....as much as possible I want to set aside the pressure and just focus on making it right . If I'm  always be out there to deal with pressure when in fact you just have to do your job right ," the actor explained.
  Instead of worrying , Dingdong focused more on what's needed for his role. The requirement of him as an actor was huge as he would reprise the role of Cholo, who was much loved by Filipino viewers in the original "Stairway to Heaven".
 As Joyce Bernal , the series ' director explained," I told him not to give me 100% , but 200%. So medyo sa kanya ako nakatutok. If you're looking for a material for your to learn so much and  and for you to really prove that you are an actor, then this is it. So if you won't give everything in this then when and where will you do it?"
  So far, Dingdong Dantes has received positive feedbacks from the advance screening of "Stairway to Heaven" held at Megamall Cinema  and during the show's viewing presscon  at GMA-7's Studio 7. And one of these feedbacks was that he has already shifted well to another leading lady who is Rhian Ramos . He even won praises from GMA SVP for TV and Entairment Wilma Galvante who called him very effective as Cholo.
  "Stairway to Heaven" is the story of childhood sweethearts Cholo and Jodi who got separated when the former went to the States for his studies. he vowed to return for her which he did after five years . He was supposed to marry her but unfortunately, Jodi was run over by Eunice's (Glaiza de Castro), car her step who's after everything she has including Cholo.

Sweet Kamias


The sweet kamias is not really new. We have come across it as early as the 1970s but not many people are growing it.Perhaps people don't grow this because it is not sour and would be useless for souring the native"sinigang".
But one lady who tasted the maturing fruits from our tree was excited . The fruits is perfect for making salad , she said. And that's why she had to get one of our stocks. Of course, it is also enjoyable to eat the fresh fruits right after picking from the tree.
Like the standard kamias variety, the sweet kamias does not need any special care. It produces a lot of fruits one batch after another. Some of the fruits(not all) produce viable seeds and these could be used for propagation. Marcotting is not as easy as in other fruit trees. The marcotted branches produce very fine roots and many of them don't survive.

Seedless Guava

If you want to produce guava that is different, try planting the seedless variety.Its fruit is not as big as the usual guapple, but it is unique in that the fruit is seedless. It is sweet and cruchy, especially if you apply a balanced fertilization of organic as well as chemical fertilizer that contains enough amounts of potash.
This variety is grown in big numbers in some farms in Malaysia. Fruits are often sold in roadside fruit stands. In the Philippines , it is only being planted by hobbyists. We got the own stock from the late Carlos Yusepeng of General Santos City . It is easy to take care of this plant. Marcotting is the usual means of propagation although scions of the seedless variety can be grafted on seedlings of the standard varieties.
