It was a fun-filled afternoon of songs and casual-chit with young, talented
actress-singer Julie San Jose. I was so thankful to be one of her blogger
guests to experience a fun afternoon via video-ke sesh with her yesterday
February 5, 2012 at CenterStage Tomas Morato.
Before the invitation, I didn't know that it will be MyJaps (as most
popularly known to her fans) who I am spending an afternoon with. I only got
confirmation a day before the actual videoke session that it was relied to
me,that it was indeed Julie Ann SanJose.
The welcome banner for the #JamwithJaps
I have met MyJaps a couple of time already during the many presscons that
I've attended with GMA 7 and the most recent is during on location shoot of the
movie she did with Elmo Magalona, Just One Last Summer. We also had the chance
to interview her but this recent experience is much way different from my other
encounters with her.
If the experience is exciting for me then what more for the 4 lucky fans of
MyJaps who joined us at CenterStage Tomas Morato.
Yes, not only the bloggers had the chance to meet Julie Ann San Jose
"more" up close and personal. MyJaps had a twitter online promo for
all her fans/followers. The 4 lucky winners are @Quimmey..
I arrived just on time for the videoke sesh. Good thing we left the Dunkin'
Donut presscon for Derek Ramsay a bit earlier. So glad also that some bloggers
who were at the Dunkin' Donut presscons were the one's who's also going to
CenterStage.
Julie Ann San Jose All smiles as she is greeted with tons of camera clicks!
Anyways enough for those "not-so-meaty" part of the bloggercon
for MyJaps. I know you're raring to know how the videoke party went on.
For the first part of the event, the host ask Julie started with her
carreer. But I don't wanna bore you my "Kwento". I'm letting you on
the meatyand juciest part of the event. I know you guys and most especially her
fans want to know who is MyJaps In and out. So what I did is I compiled the
most interesting things you would want to know about MyJaps.
Getting To Know Julie Ann San Jose (also known as MyJaps)
She started to sing at the age of 2 1/2 years old and "Habang May
Buhay" by Donna Cruz was the first song she sang.
Her first voice training was at Center for Pop. Since she was the youngest
to enter a formal voice training, she was kept denied at the center but in the
end she finally went on her training at the center when they saw her that she
has the talent.
For a while she has to stop her training because of her studies. At first
it was her dad who doesn't want her to pursue her career because her Dad wanted
her to concentrate on her studies and her Dad assumed that future intrigues
will affect her. But later on since Julie really wanted and loved her passion
for singing. She made an agreement with her Dad that will continue her studies
alongside with her dreams of being singer.
She joined POPSTAR kidsGMA 7' s kids when she was 11 y/o but unfortunately
didn’t won the title but also it also paved her way to her previous teen
singing-group “SUGAR POP”. Sugar Pop is a group of 5 young kids who performed
via S.O.P, the then now Party Pilipinas on GMA 7.
With his singing career, his dad originally did not like here entering
showbiz because of all risks of encountering intrigues and all but because
MyJaps really love her passion in music she promised her dad that she’ll see to
it that she won’t give up on her studies. Actually she graduated high school
with flying colors and awards.
When asked how was she able to balance her career as an artist and her
studies, she said that she sees to it that she always talks to her teachers on
how can she make up for her absences and also shedules make-up classes.
Fortunately, she’s currently on her third year in Mirriam College
Her Album now is certified “Platinum” on record bars so she’s very
grateful to her fans and followers for the support and will be forever grateful
to them.
She’s a book-lover and actually reads “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen.
Aside from reading books, her current sport is Firing.
The first piece she learned on piano is the song “Beauty and Madness”
which her Dad actually taught her.
In her craft as an actress, she actually under the tutelage of well-known
local actress-director Gina Alajar, Ana Feleo and Direk Mario J. delos Reyes.
Off-cam, MyJaps is typically a homebody.
when asked how she wanted to be known aside from being Julie Ann San Jose,
“ Simple and I can be your friend”.
The closest person to her in showbiz is Francheska Farr, Elmo Magalona and
Alden Richards.

I have met her a couple of times and I must say MyJaps is truly a one of
the nicest persons you could ever meet in the Showbiz circle. Up close, she can
be just anybody whom you can treat as a friend-very warm, approachable and
always kept her feet on the ground. Maybe that’s why all her fans and followers
love her and support her.
MyJaps, I just hope that you continue to be the sweet, warm, outgoing and
talented person that you are. Just enjoy what you have right now and keep
aiming high.

So come, join us in this momentous event, and be a proud Filipino
blogger worldwide!
This year the group Filipino Bloggers Hub will have a party for bloggers an it is dubbed as
A Simple Acquaintance Party
In the cyber world where all
bloggers are moving-in has become more challenging due to different trends that
have been born from time to time in
every click and tick of their finger on
the mouse. As the blogger pursue their passion, they tend to produce more
effective write-ups that are based on their experiences, observation and even
with their own opinion.
Today,
blogging becomes a good portal of
advertisement and online promotion because it can give a huge impact and easy
to access information upon clicking the publish button. In just one click,
everything went to life as it was being shared and like by others instantly
upon uploaded.
Given that
bloggers exist every minute and seconds in every social-networking site as well
as in the blogging flat form. While giving the readers and other people to have
the latest updates as well as entertainment in their web sites or blog sites.
But wait a minute; did all bloggers who read other sites blog knew the author
personally or acquaintance? I think, not!
Perhaps,
some know each other while others tend to get intimidated or something as they
see each other in different places. Why? Maybe because they never get a chance
to be introduce to each other.
Moreover,
the blogosphere in the Philippines is just a small piece of the universal blogosphere.
Where is so impossible to know the person one by one in a particular websites
or blog site? And so, bloggers created an event that we called “Filipino Bloggers Hub Party” to get a chance to see,
meet and know the person behind in every blog that we read, follow and
subscribe to.
On the 19th of May 2012, 1:00pm at the Central Colleges of the Philippines, bloggers around the Metro
will gather to have a simple acquaintance party with full of surprises,
giveaways, fun games and raffles. This is the chance to meet and know
other bloggers, and this is the day that all bloggers will unite and promise to
continue what started intelligently as to give people good, and balance
information that people want to know.
To all
bloggers in the Metro out there, we would love to know you more and see you in
the 1st Filipino Bloggers Hub Party of the year!
Enchong Dee
is the perfect brand ambassador for NUTRILITE because he was a member of DLSU’s
Swimming team before becoming one of local showbiz heartthrobs. Now Enchong is
busy with showbiz as he has two regular shows on ABS-CBN namely, Maria La Del
barrio and ASAP ROCKS.

Market!
Market! Mall is quite far from my house and that is one of the reasons that no
matter how nice this mall is, I always have apprehensions going there. But for so
many reasons, I know I have to set it aside. Because?
This is what got! A 3-month Nutrilite Dietary supplement!
I’m
so excited to be a part of the 10 bloggers who will be part of the “Nutrilite
Trim Down Showdown! Weight Loss Challenge”. (Media and bloggers were invited to
cover the event and those who got their BMI’s (body mass index) and weigh-ins
analyzed, 10 lucky bloggers will be given 3-month Nutrilite supplements and
take the challenge of trimming down one’s weight.
This
is gonna be my first time to meet ENCHONG DEE, which was announce as the
official Brand Ambassador for NUTRILITE .Nutrilite
will be launched. I am interested to know how it works and how it can help me
with my weight gain problem.
The contents of my 3-month Nutrilite pack:
This whole
day event happened last January 7, 2012 at Market! Market! Activity Center
Taguig City. The event started 10 am with a car-sticker event. I did not have
the chance to see this. But I was able to take part in its main program with onstage games and the most anticipated
part of the program is the game where a lucky girl will have a chance to have a
date with NUTRILITE ambassador Enchong Dee. And how lucky that girl can get!
Too bad Enchong is way too young for me! (“may panghihinayang?” hahaha).
But before I
tell you who won that lucky date with Enchong Dee, let me share something about
NUTRILITE.
Nutrilite is
the only global vitamin and mineral brand to grow, harvest and process plants
on their own certified organic farms. Nutrilite is the world’s leading brand of
vitamin, mineral and dietary supplements. The Nutrilite brand offers you and
your family a complete range of supplements and other products designed to
address the nutritional needs of anyone at any life stage.
Suprisingly
for a marketing based company like AMWAY, this event was jam packed even before
Enchong Dee arrived. This just goes to show that a lot of people wanted to be
successful in starting their very own business and are very health conscious. Who would
not want to? The event is free and you get to have your BMI’s , Fat analysis,
blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked for free by registered dieticians
and Doctors at the event! And not only
that fun games and show awaited the attendees!
And now time
to spill what made me say that it’s worth the travel time I had! ….
·I
was chosen to be part of the 10 bloggers who will take part of weight-loss
challenge for 3 months. Yes so far I am over my normal weight according to the
registered dietitians. The culprit here is the foodie inside of me that made me go
overboard with all food I want to taste.
I get to meet and ask Enchong Dee a question. I
asked him,”If you are to suggest Erich a Nutrilite supplement, what would that
be? “ He said that it would be the NUTRILITE DOUBLE X. Because Nutrilite DoubleX has the needed vitamins and minerals our body needs.
So there goes..I will post about my experience taking NUTRILITE SUPPLEMENTS soon!
Just came home from 3 events I have gone to. First is The Nuvo Hair Bloggers event, 2nd is the Soyami "Snacking Without The Guilt" Event and lastly is The Epic launch of Flippish.Com at 7th High at The Fort.
Though I admit I got tired but it was worth it. I even got to party a bit at 7th High with Blogger friends.
It's past 12 am and I promise to post about these events here in my blog. So keep posted guys!
