The refreshing tandem of Carla Abellana and Tom Rodriguez returns to the big screen via Regal Entertainment’s latest romantic-comedy offering, No Boyfriend Since Birth, directed by Joey Reyes.
The Carla-Tom tandem became instant favorite in the breakthrough series My Husband’s Lover on GMA-7.
This was followed by the family-drama My Destiny, which sealed the romantic team-up. The pair gained an even bigger following when they starred in Regal’s So It’s You.
This time, in No Boyfriend Since Birth, Carla and Tom share another interesting tale of love filled with hugot lines, from a girl who hopes to spend her life forever with her dream guy from high school.
Carla plays Karina Miranda, who works as an executive assistant in a bridal shop.
She has never been in a relationship, in love as she still is with high school crush Carlo Miranda (played by Tom).
After graduation, Karina and Carlo’s paths cross at a wedding. Carlo is a wedding photographer who worked in Canada for 10 years. The two get close as they share a common interest.
Unfortunately, it is all work for Carlo unlike Karina, who has fallen deeply for her high school crush again.
Determined to win the man of her dreams, Karina does everything in her power to make Carlo fall for her, too.
But he is one tough nut to crack and so Karina decides to give up hope and spare herself from more pain, until Carlo asks her to be his business partner.
Karina then finds herself in a tight fix once again. Will she accept the proposal or turn it down?
Women in search of love and how to keep it forever can learn a thing or two from Carla’s character in the movie.
No Boyfriend Since Birth is a must-see for women who have never been in a relationship but are in search of love and someone to spend their lives forever with.
No Boyfriend Since Birth opens in cinemas nationwide on Nov. 11 from the same company that produced the blockbuster romantic-comedy film, The PreNup.

Krissy at a ‘Distance’
Acoustic artist and YouTube sensation Krissy, releases her new single “Distance” off her debut album Songs About You.
“Distance,” which Krissy herself wrote, is similar to her previous heartbreak songs like “We Can’t Be” and “Piece of You”. This heart-rending song bares her soul and will make listeners feel what she went through in her break up. “This song is a lot different from most of my songs and really means a lot to me,” Krissy said.
She wrote the song 2 years ago.
“I had just gotten out of a really bad break up. It was the very first time I had ever been in love like that. It was the kind of break up that came out of nowhere. It was bad for me because I had given a lot to be with him. As with all break ups, you try and do what you can to forget how much you are hurting. I was constantly surrounded by friends, which helped a lot. But at times, when you are alone, it helps reflect on the whole relationship,” Krissy said.
Her friend’s grand piano became a part of the writing process.
“I was at my friend’s place one day and he had this really big beautiful grand piano in his living room and I just started playing. I usually write my songs on guitar and this had been one of my first few songs on the piano. I let out everything I was feeling and I finally finished writing it in about an hour or so,” Krissy added.
Its music video recently premiered on MYX and featured her playing the piano. The video will also be seen soon on her VEVO channel KrissyVEVO.
Songs About You can now be streamed via Spinnr, Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer and Guvera and is available through digital downloads via Spinnr and iTunes. The album is also out in CDs at Astroplus and Astrovision outlets.

With numerous concerts here and abroad, he has always been a formidable force on stage that never fails to bring fun to fans with his wacky sense of humor, and lets them experience love and romance with his timeless ballads and OPM hits.
Although currently in the US for a series of shows that let him touch base with his followers there, he will come home this month to bring cheer to his loyal fans this Christmas season.
On Nov. 13, the Concert King will hold a concert at the Palacio de Maynila in Manila. The show is billed The Concert King Rocks The Palace, a title he himself chose.
“I’ll be back on Nov. 12, in time for rehearsal,” Martin says with excitement.
Rested and well energized after his stay in the US, Martin says he has already started rehearsing his songs for the show at Palacio in between gigs in the US.
The singer-host is known for commanding crowds in large venues the likes of the Smart Araneta Coliseum and the Mall of Asia Arena. But for The Concert King Rocks The Palace, Martin has envisioned a more intimate setting wherein he can reach out to the audience and make them feel truly a part of the whole experience.
Despite holding the show at a 900-capacity venue, Martin says this one-off performance at Palacio de Maynila will enable him to have bonding moments with his fans. In fact, the venue is perfect for the audience to experience the Martin magic up close and personal – they may actually get the chance to get close to him and even sing some songs with him.
To make this an even bigger treat for Martin’s fans, Palacio de Maynila general manager. Cristy Nazario says they made sure the ticket prices are affordable to everyone.
“Our VIP Center only costs P4,000; the VIP-Reserved Seats, meanwhile, are priced at only P3,000. The free-seating area only costs P2,000 so it won’t be a burden on those who want to watch Martin in an intimate show.”
Nazario adds they were able to keep the ticket prices low through the help of a number of generous sponsors.
Fans will surely have a night they won’t forget with Martin, who promises to take the audience down memory lane by singing well-loved classic hits, and then let them enjoy the here and now with the new songs he will perform. It will be a night of fun, and a new experience with Martin that his fans surely won’t forget.
