#ALDUBFORTALKNTEXT TVC IS HERE!

After their much anticipated commercial debut almost a week ago for McDonald's, Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza (a.k.a. Yaya Dub), is again here to treat their fans, known collectively as the AlDub Nation, to another tvc, this time for Talk and Text.

This was confirmed two days ago when the Philippines' hottest love team (no need to contest on that), posted messages on instagram yesterday using #AlDubForTNT. Aldub Nation could not get anymore excited than this!

This is definitely not going to be the their last tvc. Word is everybody in the advertisement industry wants to take a piece of Aldub. As of this writing update, #ALDUBforTALKNTEXT has already reached more than 2 million tweets. The Twitter king and queen, also known as the Pambansang Bae and Dubsmash Queen respectively, has smashed all possible twitter records in the Philippines and the world.

Enjoy the tvc below!

#ALDUBTHEABDUCTION KALYESERYE EPISODE BREAKS TWO TWITTER RECORDS

AlDub Nation once again proved how immense the popularity of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza a.k.a. Yaya Dub is, as yesterday's KALYESERYE MADE TWITTER HISTORY BY SAYING HELLO TO 6.35 MILLION TWEETS IN 24 HOURS!

The kalyeserye breaks its own record two Saturdays ago, when #AlDudBattleforaCause was tweeted 5.8 Million times. If for any reason to celebrate, the hashtag has also broken the record for the most tweets in the world when #LoveWins was tweeted 6.2 million times a couple of months ago after the United States finally allowed same sex marriage.

This indeed proves how popular AlDub is, thanks to Eat Bulaga and the geniuses behind the Kalyeserye- not forgetting the contribution of the Kalye's Angels particularly, Wally Bayola a.k.a. Lola Nidora a.k.a Duh Rizz.

This twitter record-breaking event is celebrated in the world, wherever there are Filipinos. According to the Henyo, Joey De Leon (@angpoetnyo on twitter), the exact hashtag tweets is 6.37M. Truly, the phenomenon definitely is unstoppable.

#AlDubwins this time!

KALYESERYE RECAP: ALDEN AND YAYA DUB'S KIDNAPPER SURFACES

This Saturday's episode of the twitter-breaking Kalyeserye of Eat Bulaga is nothing short of the usual"kilig" and drama that only the longest running daytime show knows how to offer.

At the outset, Duhrizz, Lola Nidora's grandchild, surfaced as the kidnapper of AlDub, yet, his actions are not without reasons. Duhrizz is very much in love with Alden, and she envies Lola Nidora's love for Yaya. However, she's an antagonist that AlDub's fans definitely loves as she even made a way for Alden and Yaya to once again see each other and even for a moment be able to touch each other (though blindfolded).

Then came the rescue from Tinidora and Tidora, in their usual S.W.A.T (Sisters with Attitude. Lol!) uniform. They were able to convince Duhrizz to release Yaya and reminded her that Lola Nidora loves her. The episode ended with Duhriz running outside the building, and Tinidora and Tidora receiving a call about the condition of Lola Nidora.

Another question that needs an answer is: Where now is Alden?

Tune in next week and let the AlDub Nation find out in this epic kalye serye brought to us by Eat Bulaga.

Be sure to refresh for updates.

ALDUB'S FIRST COMMERCIAL: #ALDUBKOTO

The Phenomenon that is AlDub- the unconventional loveteam of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza (a.k.a. Yaya Dub), makes its splash on the boob tube more evident via their first ever TVC for McDonald's.

There was never such an anticipation on any commercial in years from the viewing public than this one. AlDub Nation will be able to see Alden and Yaya Dub regularly on television through their first ever commercial together.

The reel life couple's rise to superstardom is attributed to Eat Bulaga's KalyeSerye which broke the traditional concept of teleserye viewing of the the Filipinos.

This is definitely NOT going to be their first commercial though and we can bet on it.

Meanwhile, enjoy viewing AlDub's first commercial. AlDubkoto!

THE LOOM BANDS CRAZE... HOW IT ALL STARTED

Children of all ages has gone gaga over the loom bands! But do you know how this craze started? Here's the story behind the loom bands craze lifted from ParentDish (http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2014/07/02/loom-bands-who-invented-them-and-how-they-became-so-popular/.

The Rainbow Loom was invented in 2011 by Cheong Choon Ng, a Malaysian-born former seatbelt technology developer from Michigan, who noticed his daughters weaving elastic bands over their fingers to make bracelets.

Ng tried it but his own fingers were too big, so he built himself a 'loom' - a technology known to the clothing trade since at least the 15th Century - using pins and a wooden slab. His daughters were impressed with the more intricate patterns this allowed.

Ng then developed a plastic version and set up a business manufacturing them, investing $10,000.

He got a toy shop to stock his product and, after it sold out within a few hours, other stores took an interest.

It spread from there and looms and bands can now be seen in schools and homes around the UK and US.
