I was passing by Makati Cinema Square one time just right after a visit at Doc. Sarah Barba’s Clinica Figura. While waiting for my next event, I decided to roam around and have a visit to some vintage shops (as to what others called it to make it sosyal) in the area or what we all Filiponos know as Ukay-Ukay. Yup I do Ukay-Ukay or in short UK sometimes… or maybe a lot of times hahaha.

One UK shop that I spent most of my time there was the one located at the entrance of Makati Cinema Square in front of the parking area, near MC Donalds.

The Adam Levine, Kiera Knightley and Mark Ruffalo starrer BEGIN AGAIN has been selected to close the 13th Tribeca Film Festival on April 26, 2014.

From writer-director John Carney (Once), the movie originally titled Can A Song Save Your Life? is a soul-stirring comedy about what happens when lost souls meet and make beautiful music together.

Gretta (Keira Knightley) and her long-time boyfriend Dave (Adam Levine) are college sweethearts and songwriting partners who decamp for New York when he lands a deal with a major label. But the trappings of his new-found fame soon tempt Dave to stray, and a reeling, lovelorn Gretta is left on her own. Her world takes a turn for the better when Dan (Mark Ruffalo), a disgraced record-label exec, stumbles upon her performing on an East Village stage and is immediately captivated by her raw talent. From this chance encounter emerges an enchanting portrait of a mutually transformative collaboration, set to the soundtrack of a summer in New York City.
