The Romance of Magno Rubio

by Clarissa

Many Filipino’s living in New York City and Jersey City take advantage of the Filipino cultural events in the region. The opportunities to attend Filipino activities in the area range include art shows at the Philippine Consulate General, beauty pageants, Filipino theater and annual fiestas!

The Romance of Magno Rubio will be playing at the Ma-Yi Theater Company in New York City after having recently toured throughout the U.S. and the Philippines. The show is opening on May 19th and runs through the 17th of June at the Ma-Yi Theatre.

Based on a Short Story by Carlos Bulosan

The play tells the tale of Magno, a short Filipino migrant worker who longs for love. Set in the central valleys of California in the 1930′s, the play follows Magno’s long-distance relationship via love letters exchanged with his pen pal Clarabelle, a woman from Arkansas whom Magno discovers through a lonely-hearts ad. Believing he has found the woman of his dreams, the young man fantasizes about their life together, only to soon realize that reality and dreams do not always align.

The show is directed by Loy Arcenas and is starring Arthur Acuna, Bernardo Bernado, Ramon De Ocampo JoJo Gonazalez and Paolo Montalban. If you start to miss your loved one or Filipina after you watch it feel free to send them a load and let them know. ;-)

Apo Hiking Society and Globe Telecom

by Clarissa

Globe Telecom is a sponsor of the Apo Hiking Society concert series that kicks off this weekend. The show is being held at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City on Saturday and Sunday night in Washington D.C. If you get the chance to attend and run into someone from Globe make sure to tell them you send Globe cellphone load to the Philippines using Aryty! :)

I went to AC this morning.

Looks like the Wall Street bull is a Ranger fan! He sits in front of Aryty’s office in lower Manhattan and it was funny to see him in this jersey tonight as we headed home.

“It’s a Guy Thing”

by Clarissa

I admit it’s fun to make chikka when it comes to pinoy celebrity gossip. So many times I use Aryty to send a load just to get the whole story by text from a friend in the Philippines. So here’s the latest from Makatijust in-case you haven’t heard. ;)

Male model and crush ng bayan Borgy Manotoc got into a fight at my favorite night spot Embassy earlier this week with Carlo Pardo De Tavera. The evening ended with Carlo being admitted into the hospital and two different stories of what went down that night. Typical of any bar fight, a girl was involved, which in this case was Borgy’s girlfriend Ornusa Cadness who is gorgeous on a bad day!

Listen to Borgy here on Chika Minute!

For the latest Philippine news stories and videos, visit GMANews.TV

Borgy as you may know is grandson of the late Ferdinand Marcos and was reported earlier to be seeking the mayoral post in Manila City. He’s also host of a tv show whose name probably best sums up this incident. The show is called “It’s a Guy Thing!” If you know more to the story leave your comments please and happy chikka! :)

Cool New Way to Instant Message

by Clarissa

Yahoo Messenger is one of the most popular ways for Filipino’s to keep in touch with their loved one’s back home in the Philippines. Today a new service launched called imo.im that allows you to access your YM account from the web at www.imo.im and link it with any of your other IM accounts. It’s easy to use and you don’t need to register since you sign into your messenger accounts from their site!

Once you are logged in the fun begins because imo.im lets you start group chats with friends from any of your messenger buddy list including MSN, AIM, Yahoo and Google Talk. You just enter a buddy you want to bring into a chat and they get an invitation link to join the fun! It’s like an instant messenger party line. :)

Make sure you try it out next time you’re ready to chat and remember you heard it here first! ;) Aryty!?
