Amazing Jing for Life: Martin del Rosario

Martin del Rosario and his dream bar: The Armory in QC

Martin del Rosario and his dream bar: The Arnory in Quezon City

An underground bar catering premium cocktails, beverages with very affordable prices, and a club at the second floor both with continuous music provided by the top DJs in the country... a venue for acquaintance, night bonding with friends or colleagues, a hub where you can unwind and hang out after work or after school (for students, best to visit during weekends only, okay?).

Probably you were asking where could you find this place aa cool as like what you've imagined. Oh well, it's just loacated along Congressional Ave. Extension in Quezon City. And I am referring to GMA Artist Center Martin del Rosario's very first business venture >>>> " The Armory" Bar.

According to Martin, this is his dream business venture and he's very excited to this brand new chapter of his life. Aside from keeping himself busy with work, he also attends school and during his free time he sees to it that he's able to visit and manage the bar being in charge of the promotions, marketing and operations as well.

During the grand launch of "The Armory," we were able to try and sip on some of their mocktails and premium cocktails...

Paasion Fruit Mocktail

White Sangria Cocktail , the best tasting sangria ever!!!

During the grand launch of #TheArmoryQC , Martin has mentioned about a combi van outside, which they will be transforming into a food truck in the near future.

This is the combi van that will soon be transformed into a food truck, cool right?!

The young celebrity entrepreneur has also shared us that he has business partners here and not all of them belong to the same age group, it so happened that they have the same interests, digs and aspirations.

The Armory houses up to 200 pax in total comprising both the club upsatairs and the Bunker bar at the ground level. They are also open for private functions just in case you are interested to rent their place and have your events there.

The handsome young businessman also shared that he even enrolled himself to a two-week cocktail mixing lessons. Do you wanna see him personally attend and mix your own cocktail?

Well, come and visit "The Armory!"

That's me with my blogger/friends during the Grand Opening of #TheArmoryQC last Friday, May 20.

Can you resist that look in his eyes and smile? ☺

Congratulations Martin and good luck on your bar business! So happy that you've achieve another dream and milestone in your life!

"The Healing" Movie : The freedom to choose... and life's consequences

Let us all admit, aside from consulting to different medical practitioners, engaging into various laboratory tests and going to the clinics or hospitals, Filipinos somehow, would really result into getting the services of an "albularyo" to perform "healing" sessions. In some ways or another, we also keep this "option" within us that sometimes we ask their help to do some rituals like "tawas" and other "healing-related" activities. I guess this is all part of the Filipino culture that we tend to believe and somehow establish faith to these so-called "faith healers." My question is, "Are we ready and aware of its consequences?"

I guess it's high-time that we get to witness and watch a new brand of suspense, horror and drama movie being brought to us by Star Cinema, entitled "The Healing." Incidentally, the said movie was graded A by the MTRCB and has granted it a double rating (R-13 and R-18); the first time to happen in the history of Philippine Cinema. This is also the first time that a very delicate theme like this was tackled in-depth in local film.

Still gorgeous as ever @36 :))

The "Star for all Seasons" and Batangas Gov. Vilma Santos, lead star of "The Healing" was so elated on the ratings they've received for the movie, she said direk Chito Rono really fought for that, so the moviegoers would have the freedom to choose between the two options. More choices, more audience will be captured. :)) Isn't it amazing?!

On the other hand, award-winning writer Mr. Roy C. Iglesias couldn't be happier when his story was approved since this was really tailored-made to the "Star for all Seasons." Gov. Vilma Santos have been hoping and dreaming for this kind of movie, she said, "I've been asking Chito for so long for something like this and I'm so glad that it's finally happening. With the undeniable top caliber of Star Cinema, Direk Chito, and our award-winning cast, how can I go wrong?"

The whole cast of "The Healing"

In honor of Vilma's 50th anniversary in showbiz, Star Cinema gathered an all-star highly acclaimed powerhouse cast composed of Kim Chiu, Janice de Belen, Mark Gil, Martin del Rosario, Allan Paule, Cris Villanueva, Daria Ramirez, Ces Quesada, Ynez Veneracion, Simon Ibarra, Abi Bautista, Joel Torre, Chinggoy Alonso, Mon Confiado, Carmi Martin and Pokwang! The legendary actress can only say nothing but high praises and flattering remarks about her co-stars who were equally professional and brilliant in their own crafts.

Gov. Vilma was very friendly and accommodating. She really made my day! Thanks so much and love u Gov.! Batangas is so "lucky" having someone like you! :))

Ate Vi, as she's fondly called before she became Lipa's Mayor for three consecutive elections and eventually got elected as Governor of Batangas in 2007, plays the role of Rosette Angeles, a very simple woman who's only prime motive is to help her family and friends suffering from ailments and various illnesses. Of all these changes and turn of events in their lives, what could possibly happen next?

Don't let all your curiosities ponder, have it answered! Do watch this newest masterpiece from the film master himself, direk Chito S. Roño, Vilma's very first ever suspense horror movie, "The Healing."

Please watch this video to enlighten you about the movie's double rating R-13 (censored version) and R-18 (director's cut) as Gov. Vilma Santos talks about it during their

Bloggers Conference.
