St. Peter Life Plan and Chapels celebrates DeathCare Week and partners with Breakout Philippines

October 17, 2017

Bloggers turn to to escape the Breakout Challenge in partnership with St. Peter Life Plan and Chapels

Maybe some of you were wondering if what does "Breakout Philippines" has to do with St. Peter Life Plan and Chapels and vice-versa? To tell you honestly, I, myself, when I first heard about it, I felt the same way ;) But there's a logical explanation with this solid partnership, actually and it is very relevant and relatable to each and every one of us.

Planning. We are all aware and I'm sure everyone would agree with me if I say that the key to any project, event, goal or partnership to be successful is, if you plan ahead. Just like what St. Peter Life Plan and Chapels is trying to emphasize to their clients, that we should plan ahead and not to be wary or scared of death. I guess there's nothing wrong with having a memorial plan, we are all going to be "there," after all, right? It's just a matter of accepting, being realistic and planning ahead not only for our own's sake but for the sake of everyone who'll be left behind.

Me and my blogger/ friends before entering the Breakout room assigned to us.

Just like what the tagline indicated on top of us, "Plan, Solve. Escape." That's the "Breakout Philippines," mission that we have to achieve. The rationale of their partnership would be if we carefully plan ahead and sort things out, there's a great chance that we may able to solve our mission and thereby making an escape or in other words, ACHIEVING it.

Actually, we were supposed to experience the "Corpse Bride" room but due to unavailability of the room that time, we were able to pursue and experience the "The Island" room which has the highest difficulty level (5 full keys!). Everyone in our team, we all first timers, we're all neophytes, newbies who had mixed emotions in trying the Breakout challenge to escape.

Corpse Bride

They say that this activity would test the friendship or relationship of the members of the group, I say, it didn't change what we had before and after the challenge. We all took special roles and parts on every task that we confronted, everyone was cooperative and thinking (don't overthink, that's a tip!) We shared every idea that we had to give it's just that we felt, we lack time (alibi haha). Anyways, yes, we weren't able to escape, we were trapped in "The Island!"

This was our group photo after the challenge

We may not be able to make it but there's no one to blame. The whole experience was fun and enjoyable! If you're going to ask me if I am still willing to do it again? I'd say YES!!!

Let's live the life we have always dream of, and if we are able to achieve those or just lived enough for us to say that we have loved life to the fullest and to the utmost level, we should never forget that we may never pass this way again and that God had given us this great gift of life so let's treasure it and be prepared for what it's worth.

From October 1 to November 6, 2017, experience how it is to plan, solve and escape with St. Peter Life Plan and Chapels in the following Breakout rooms and branches:

SM North EDSA (Boogeyman and Sleep No More)

Thor and Hulk exhibit tours SM Malls for Marvel Studios’ Thor: Ragnarok

Life-size gladiator figures of the mighty Thor and the Hulk display during the "Thor Ragnarok" launch at SM Southmall

When the movie "Thor" was shown last May of 2011, I was able to watch it twice, since I am a fan of Chris Hemsworth and that I like how the story went and Marvel did a great job on the movie. I like the idea that "Thor" has a romantic involvement with a human and the whole action scenes, stunts, fighting scenes were all amusing. Even their costumes and set ups, were created extravagantly. After six years of waiting, finally the "Thor" fandom including myself, will get to watch him again (yey!), so excited actually since it would be "Thor: Ragnarok," and the "Hulk" will be there as seen from the trailers, hmmmm what could be the reason behind that they were seen fighting each other? Is it on purpose? What could be their dispute, just like Captain America and Ironman, who had also fought in their movie "Captain America: Civil War." This is getting so exciting and interesting!

Just recently, I was invited to visit the launch of the iconic display of gigantic action figures of the mighty Thor and the Hulk in "Thor :Ragnarok" in SM Southmall. There are also immersive and interactive activities brought to us by SM Lifestyle Entertainment, Inc. and the Walt Disney Company which will tour SM malls around the metro.

Thor and Hulk merchandise which are available in all SM Department stores

Heartthrob Tommy Esguerra poses like a happy kid. Take a look at the light effects on him!

Marvel fans got a sneak peek of the upcoming sequel for Thor through a series of iconic displays and immersive activities at the launch in SM Southmall Las Piñas. Midgardians had endless groufies at the interactive Thor-inspired photo booth; game buffs were the first to try out Marvel Studio apps such as Marvel Future Fight, Marvel Contest of Champions, Marvel Puzzle Quest, and Marvel Avengers Academy; enthusiasts got a first look at the exclusive Disney merchandise of Thor, Hulk, Loki and Valkyrie; and the crowd gawked at the life-size recreation of the two lead characters, Thor and Hulk, who in one exciting scene, battle each other in a deadly gladiator match.

Thor-inspired photo booth

The electrifying Thor: Ragnarok exhibit celebrates the anticipated comeback of the god of thunder in his self-titled movie. Thor: Ragnarok will be the first Marvel Studios’ film to introduce a major female villain in an epic race against time to prevent the destruction of Thor’s home world.

Only seen in IMAX, select key scenes of the movie will be expanded, filling more of the screen and delivering the audience 26% more of the image than standard theatres. Marvel Studios’ Thor: Ragnarok will premiere in all IMAX Theatres and SM Cinema branches nationwide on October 25.

Complete your movie experience and get a taste of Asgard on earth by visiting the Thor: Ragnarok installation yourself as it tours your favorite SM mall! The Thor: Ragnarok roving exhibit will be at SM Southmall from October 7 – 15, in SM East Ortigas on October 17-22, and in S’Maison MOA on October 24 – 31.

Catch Marvel Studios’ Thor: Ragnarok in IMAX and SM Cinema from October 25. Buy your tickets in advance through www.smcinema.com. For more information on Marvel Studios’ Thor: Ragnarok, like and follow SM Cinema on Facebook or @SM_Cinema in Instagram.

Finding My Right Hue... and its Relevance to my Life

Hue Got Me! The Purple color has really got me, isn't that obvious?! :))

TRIVIA: Among my purple or violet things posted above, majority of those were given to me as a gift while I only bought three items and those are my satin purple-colored stilettos, the handbag and the comb.

This is me during our Pahiyas Festival tour in Quezon Province. I love those colors!!!

Life has different colors for us to enjoy!

In life, we encounter a lot! Be it good or bad, happy or sad, memorable or not, they always have deeper meanings and most of them, leave a significant mark in our lives. Each and every moment that we experience, has its own color symbolism, something that when we get to see this type of hue, we associate it with our moods, aura, emotions, thinking, memories, perception, situation, ambition and with some of the people that we get to meet.

And as we go through our lives, we are not realizing that eventually, we are filtering the colors that we like, the colors that we feel we are most likely to relate to and connect with. Until it has reached to a point that you have found your "right hue." And hence, you are proud and confident enough to claim that, you favor having or buying things with this type of hue, you feel comfortable with it, you are used to it and it has somehow inspired you to do things. Isn't it amazing?!

In my four decades here on earth, I've come to choose what's the right hue for me. When I was a teener, I've established affinity to yellow, then there's blue, for a short time, I got attracted to gray and to tell you the truth, when I designed my gown for my debut, I opted to have it in mint green! See, that's how we relate to these colors. They are with us through the many chapters in our lives, they are with us during our self-transformation, and as we continue to mold ourselves, we get to find our right hue.

As for me, I am proud to say, that this hue has really got me! And it stays with me 'til forever! The Purple or violet is a combination of stability of royal blue and the energy of red, it is the color of royalty, sensitivity, compassion, nobility, prestige, mystery, magic, power, luxury, wealth, creativity, wisdom, dignity, independence, peace, devotion and eccentricity and that is my all-time fave:

There are a lot to share about my favorite Purple and how it become very relevant to my life. I would like to share few memorable ones to you my amazing dear readers.

December 2011, ABS-CBN Christmas Media Party

We were told to wear a glam, shining shimmering outfit in attending the Kapamilya Christmas party for media. As you can see, I was wearing my fave color purple and a bonggacious hand-crafted native purple hat to go with my sleek dress.

It's my birthday!

I celebrated my 42nd birthday with my family! It's a celebration of life with my most-loved people on earth, my family.

Still with my purple birthday outfit havin' sweet moments with my mom, whom I terribly miss, She now stays in the US with my other siblings. I love this photo.

with my lovely siblings Love and Didith at the departure area of NAIA Terminal 2

Of course, life wouldn't be complete if you'll only experience happiness, we could never appreciate it if we haven't experience down times like this. I was wearing my purple blouse which I purposely use since my sister Didith gave it to me as a gift. She was about to migrate to United States with her family, her profession as a nurse has brought them to the land of milk and honey. This sisters group hug was a very momentous one for me. And I know that someday, we'll make a brand new group hug and memories together again and definitely, it would be a happy one next time.

This was taken during my Tita Zeny's birthday (third from right) and that was mom on her left. I've chosen this pic because this was the last photo taken with my dear late aunt, Linda (far right). She's in another good and happy place with our Creator.

The relevance of the Purple color in my life creates a great mark on me. And I never could've realized it until now. That's why I am so thankful that I get this chance to write about it. I've come out of my shell and has let you share the other side of me.

You see, we get to choose what suits us best. I feel so much comfortable with it, it sets the mood for me, it give such freedom that I enjoy to express and share. This perfect hue for me serves also as one of my inspirations, aside from my family, to give love, share love, appreciate life, to be positive, to do more and be the REAL me.

The choices that we make in life can make or break us. We just try to figure it out keenly and observe from your surroundings and the people around you. Their opinions and ideas do matter. And we could never go wrong if we put God first in our life. Trust me.

So how about hue? Have found your right hue?

I found my right Hue! Purple it is!!!

Hope you could all join us on Thursday, October 12, 2017 at the Mall Atrium of Eastwood Mall as we find out and discover what's so #eggzoiting underneath the shell as we celebrate the "World Egg Day" brought to us by Bounty Fresh Eggs.

The IT Girls of Horror I Sue, Miles, Michelle, Jane & Chanel in their most frightening film, "The Debutantes"

The cast and director of "The Debutantes" during the movie's blogcon, direk Prime Cruz, the IT Girls of Horror: Michelle Vito, Sue Ramirez, Miles Ocampo, Jane de Leon with Paolo Gumabao

Debut

intro, introduction, presentation - formally making a person known to another or to the public

or it also otherwise know as the coming of age of a young lady, specifically at the age of eighteen when she is physically and emotionally ready to announce to the public that she has come of age, via a simple or any kind of celebration.

For a girl like me, I've experienced the glory and the struggles of preparing and having a debut celebration, but I was so thankful for my mom, (dad was already gone during that time), and my relatives who had given me love and full support that time. I made my own design for my gown and the color theme was mint green, it was not my fave color though but I was thinking of having a pastel color theme for my debut celebration. It was a very memorable evening for me and I'll forever cherish it.

Enough of my reminiscin'... I was just reminded of the new film by Regal Films, "The Debutantes," a horror, thriller, terrifying, scream-bait movie. This stars the IT Girls of Horror namely, Sue Ramirez, Miles Ocampo, Michelle Vito, Jane de Leon and Chanel Morales. This movie embarks the coming of age of the so-called "The Debutantes," with all its strange happenings, challenges, thrills, chills, screams, roller coaster of emotions and animosities which are not normal for a regular debut celebration.

During the blogcon of the movie, "The Debutantes," the main cast was introduced first...

Paolo Gumabao

Paolo plays the boyfriend of one of the mean girls, Shayne played by Chanel Morales.

Jane de Leon plays Jenny in the film

I am familiar with Jane since I watch her most of the time in the noontime show, "It's Showtime," as one of the all-girl dance group there named "Girltrends." She has also appeared in several tv programs like in "Wansapanatym."

Michelle Vito plays Candice

Michelle is a sweet young lady who claims of having appeared mostly in horror movies such as "Pagpag: Siyam Na Buhay," and she has also played "contravida" roles, which I guess she is also good at. She was part of the cast of the tv fantaserye "Aryana," as Megan, top-billed by Ella Cruz in 2012.

Miles Ocampo plays Lara

Miles is a product of the kiddie gag show, "Goin' Bulilit." Aside from numerous TV series, she has also appeared in a number of movies like "I've Fallen For You," "A Very Special Love," "You Changed My Life," "BFF: Best Friends Forever" and "Paano Na Kaya?" She is currently appearing in the weekly comedy tv show, "Home Sweetie Home." And from what I've known, is also being tapped as the very controversial Xander Ford's (formerly Marlou Arizala) leading lady in their upcoming project.

Sue Ramirez as Kate in the story

Sue was first seen in the remake of the hit teleserye "Mula Sa Puso," which was followed by the series "Angelito: Batang Ama," "Anelito: Ang Bagong Yugto," "Annaliza," "Pangako Sa'yo," "Dolce Amore," and the ongoing horror serye "La Luna Sangre" of Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo. She was walso part of the reality show, "I Can Do That," aside from being named as the Honorary Tourism Ambassador for Korea. Her film projects also include "Aswang," "Just The Way You Are," and "A Second Chance."

Direk Prime Cruz

He is the director behind "Ang Manananggal sa Unit 23-B."

The story of "The Debutantes" will revolve around Kate (Sue), a friendless and weird-looking student who tries to win the friendship of fellow students Lara (Miles), Jenny (Jane), Candice (Michelle) and Shayne (Chanel).

She, however, fails miserably in that she only gets close to one of them, Lara, while the rest of the girls find immeasurable joy in bullying her around. Kate then experiences a nightmare and warns them about it but they would not listen except for Lara.

Together, these girls deliver a unique brand of horror in "The Debutantes", one that today's millenial generation can relate to as it delves into the subject of bullying within the campus.
