Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Carmina Villaroel

Carmina Villaroel definitely looked so elegant when she attended the Star Magic Ball 2012. I love her look that night -- so classy! ^_^

I've seen Carmina bloom over the years since she was a teen star. It's refreshing to still have around former teen stars like her and Janice de Belen. Plus, they're still both making waves.

Just recently, Carmina was a surprised bride when Zoren proposed and married her on the same day when she thought that she was just going to a TV commercial shoot. Amazing! Of all the things to surprise a bride with -- and that's her wedding day! ^_^ I believe the special is going to be shown on ABS-CBN later today. It's not one to be missed!

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Star Power Finalists



Well, we all know that Angeline Quinto won the StarPower Search. But all the finalists were really good. Shown above are the other four girls who made it to the Star Power Search finals -- K-la Rivera, Krissel Valdez, Akiko Solon, and Monica Sacay. I haven't seen much of these ladies. I just know that K-la also won in a Myx VJ Search contest and recently auditioned for Miss Saigon. Akiko appeared on "E-boy." Although my bet to win the Star Power Search was Angeline Quinto, I believe all these other ladies are also good so in time, I hope they will also be given a chance to shine. ^_^

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Yeng Constantino

I've always been amazed and fascinated with Yeng Constantino's talent and fashion sense. You simply gotta love her music.

Yeng looks totally different in this gown. It's like the rockstar princess has transformed into a lady. Yet I think she pulled it off quite well.

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Carmen Soo


I know that Carmen Soo is not exactly a Philippine Celebrity. In fact, she's a Malaysian star. But she did work on a few local projects, including the teleserye "Kahit Isang Saglit" with Jericho Rosales. She has been one of my favorites since then. Lucky for me that I got to meet her twice. She's also very nice. Now, I miss seeing her on local TV. The Jericho Rosales - Carmen Soo tandem is one to be missed indeed. Echomen as they were called also became my fave tandem. I love the rapport of these two stars. And Echo remains to be my most favorite local actor. It is indeed wonderful that Carmen Soo got to attend the Star Magic Ball this year. I hope Star Magic hasn't forgotten her and will have a project for her again soon.

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Andi Eigenmann

Have you seen "A Secret Affair?" If not, you've seriously missed one surprisingly good movie. Well, my daughter and I both watched it and we liked it! We even wrote reviews about it. Andi Eigenmann really stood out in the movie! I'd say it's her big comeback project. She's still one hot momma even after the baby. Look at that gown she wore at the Star Magic Ball 2012.

Andi currently stars in "Kahit Puso'y Masugatan" with powerhouse cast, Gabby Concepcion, Iza Calzado, Jake Cuenca, Jaclyn Jose and many more. Even more amazing is how Andi can portray Veronica so well. LOL! Talk about a pretty villainess! She reminds me of her aunt Cherie Gil who was probably the best female antagonist of her time.

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Former PBB Housemates

Melai Cantiveros Star Magic Ball 2012

From top (left to right): Melai Cantiveros, Pamu Pamorada, Tin Patrimonio, Dionne Monsanto, Jessica Connelly, Yen Santos


I loved Melai's look. She looks so classy -- old Hollywood glamour. Pamu also looks great. I like her gown as well. Tin Patrimonio, whom I didn't recognize at first, is shown with Jake Cuenca. Dionne Monsanto is from an earlier batch -- the one with Beatrice Saw I think. Dionne has appeared on a number of shows and I think she's a pretty fine actress. I remember her from Lobo. There's Jessica Connelly who's Irish Pinay. I think she voluntarily exited the PBB house. She's pretty and can sing well as I remember. Then I read somewhere that Yen Santos was from PBB Teen Edition -- same batch as Ryan Bang, I think, though I don't remember her much from there. She's one of the support cast of "Pintada" and I also think she can act well.

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- PBB Teens

Myrtle Sarrosa Star Magic Ball 2012

I was wondering why I didn't see the PBB teens featured on the Star Magic Ball issue of the Star Studio magazine so I went to search for photos. I'm a Myrtle fan and she's my bet to win the PBB teen edition. As it turned out, the girls were there at the ball, although Myrtle's photo was featured under "out of the boxes" dresses at the ball. It is a bit different. Some may even call it outlandish. I kinda like the unique look of it. At least, it's not as bad as some of the other dresses. It isn't as ordinary as the others too. 

So happy to be seeing Myrtle on "Todamax" and "Kahit Puso'y Masugatan." I'm actually more in favor of the Kit-Tle tandem. But Paul Salas isn't a bad alternate. I guess they're still testing the water. I think Karen is in a few shows too. I haven't seen the twins except when guesting on "Kris TV," which I get to watch sometimes. Why not come up with a teen oriented movie featuring all the current teen favorites, including the PBB teens?

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Notable Newbies 5

Aaliyah Benisano          Alexandra Macanan
Janella Salvador               Julia Barretto

This completes the list of notable newbies at the Star Magic Ball 2012. Aaliyah Benisano was initially part of Todamax where she plays the daughter of Tol (played by Robin Padilla). Alexandra Macanan is better known as the "young Anne Curtis." I think she's going to play the role of the young Anne in an upcoming teleserye. Then there's Janella Salvador who plays Nikki in morning series "Please Be Careful with My Heart." Lastly, there's Julia Barretto who played the young Claudine in the latter's last teleserye with the kapamilya network. 

Gowns: Aaliyah wears JC Ulanday; Alexandra wears Nat Manilag; Janella wears  Regine Tolentino; Julia wears Nat Manilag

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Notable Newbies 4

Miles Ocampo Star Magic Ball 2012Eliza Pineda Star Magic Ball 2012

Although Miles Ocampo's and Eliza Pineda's names have been listed under notable newbies, these two young stars are far from that. They've been seen in a number of shows in the past. Miles currently stars in a once-a-week teen sitcom called "Luv U" and has appeared in a number of TV series and movies either as supporting cast or as the younger version of the main protagonist. Eliza had been a bit absent from the mainstream, but if I remember correctly, she was already launched in "Maria Flor de Luna" before. I guess she must have concentrated on schooling so she's not been too visible since then. I hope she makes a comeback soon too. It truly is a great time to be discovering young talents. A great project really helps in launching a fresh new face of talents. The public can sometimes get tired of the same old roster and would love to see new faces once in a while. I think it will be good for the entertainment industry too. ^_^

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Notable Newbies 3

Sofia Andres plays Dindi, the younger sister of Kathryn Bernardo who plays Micay on The Princess and I. It seems Kiko (Khalil Ramos) is out of the race to win Micay's heart so Sofia Andres is now being paired with him. I've also watched Khalil's music video Kung Ako Na Lang Sana and the two are paired there as well. Well, why not? Khalil and Sofia seem to look good together anyway. 

Sofia wears a Nat Manilag gown to the Star Magic Ball 2012.

Bianca Casado initially plays villain to Micay on The Princess And I. She plays big sister who couldn't accept the adopted Micay and so worked on making her life difficult. Now there's another young star who has the potential to play a villain. 

Bianca wears a gown by Tina Daniac to the Star Magic Ball 2012.

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Notable Newbies 2

Sue Ramirez wears Regine Tolentino to the Star Magic Ball 2012. Sue stars in afternoon series "Angelito" as sister of Charee Pineda, but I liked her more in "Okatokat" -- at least I think that's the title of that Saturday scary teen series with Paul Salas. I liked that TV show. I wish that there will be another teen show just like it.

Hope Soberano wears a Regine Tolentino gown to the Star Magic Ball 2012. Hope is another pretty young talent to watch out for. She stars in soon to end afternoon series "Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo" as the younger sister of Jake Cuenca.

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Notable Newbies

Coleen Garcia wears a simple Venus-cut gown to the Star Magic Ball 2012. Coleen and Gab Valenciano have the funkiest couple look that night. 

I know Coleen is one of the hosts in noontime show "It's Showtime." I haven't seen her in any teleserye in a while.

Notable newbies include Ella Cruz from famed "Aryana" teleserye. She wears Nat Manilag to the Star Magic Ball 2012.

My daughter and I like the tandem of Ella Cruz and Francis Magundayao. We think they looked great in "Nang Dahil sa Pag-ibig" playing the young Jasmin and young Alfred. It's good to see that Francis has been added to the cast of Aryana.

Michelle Vito plays villain to Ella Cruz in Aryana. She is definitely another young beauty with potential. Here she wears a Nat Manilag gown to the Star Magic Ball 2012.

I think Michelle looks good with Dominique Roque who plays Hubert in Aryana. I'm not sure if they will eventually be paired together.

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Venus Raj

Venus Raj wears a lovely Spanish lace dress. She truly looks the towering beauty queen that she is. This gown is one of the few that I liked from this year's ball.

Venus Raj is doing well as one of the hosts of UKG (Umagang Kay Ganda).

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Kaye Abad

Kaye Abad wears Rajo Laurel to the Star Magic Ball 2012. My reaction -- Woah! Kaye is usually known for her sweet character so this gown is a little too sultry in my opinion. 

Kaye stars in afternoon series "Angelito," but I like her character Millette who was a villain to Alynna played by Shaina Magdayao. Kaye is one good actress so I think she should be given more challenging roles to play. It also makes me wonder what happened to the KayJi tandem with Guji Lorenzana. They looked good together.

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Maricar Reyes

Maricar Reyes wears Ivarluski Aseron to the Star Magic Ball 2012. I got to watch her guesting on Kris TV with beau, crooner Richard Poon. It's good to see they're looking so happy.

Maricar is one of the few very visible Star Magic artist. She last starred in "Nang Dahil Sa Pag-ibig" with Jericho Rosales, Cristine Reyes, and Piolo Pascual. She also guested in "Please Be Careful With My Heart" as Rockie.

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Nikki Gil

Love Nikki Gil's glam look at the Star Magic Ball 2012. So good to see both she and Billy Crawford are looking great and going strong. 

Nikki Gil is also another talented artist who can not only sing but can also act well. I think her last teleserye was "Mundo Man Ay Magunaw" with Empress Schuck. She's also a good host and VJ.

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Angeline Quinto

Angeline Quinto wears Pepsi Herrera to the Star Magic Ball 2012. Since she won the Star Power Quest, Angeline has probably sung most of the teleserye theme songs as of late. It's great to see that her singing career has a major boost. 

Angeline even got to star opposite her long-time crush Coco Martin in a movie all their own -- "Born to Love You." I wish people will stop comparing her and Sarah Geronimo as both of them are equally talented. Angeline seems to be a natural actress too 'coz she also got to star in an "MMK (Maalaala Mo Kaya)" episode with Jason Abalos. I wonder what her next project would be aside from her singing stints.

Star Magic Ball 2012 -- Kathryn Bernardo

Kathryn Bernardo wears Rhett Eala to the Star Magic Ball 2012. She looks very much the princess in this lovely gown. Kathryn was escorted by leading man Daniel Padilla. 

Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla are making waves as a loveteam. I believe the tandem is known as KathNiel. They do look good together. It does keep everyone wondering who the princess will end up with in "Princess and I." I just hope the people behind the show won't drag the show too much when they extend it. Otherwise, it gets quite boring. 

Anyway, it's great to see Kathryn enjoying the same fame and status as former "Mara Clara" co-star Julia Montes. The two are the most promising young leading ladies today.
