survey by starsareonly2nd

Have you ever been to Las Vegas? No. Doesn’t sound like my type of city. I wouldn’t mind visiting the rest of Nevada though.

What did you have for breakfast this morning? Just a cup of coffee; I skip breakfast except on Sundays, when we actually sit down at the dining table and eat as a family.

Do you have any loose change in your pocket? I don’t have any pockets right now but I do have very few coins in my wallet. I used to have plenty, but I’ve given most of them away because I usually give tips to the nice people who help me get out of parking spots.

Do you like Taylor Swift? I like some of her songs, especially the ones from 1989, but I have no idea why I just can’t get into her as a person.

What's your favorite Disney Channel movie? I haven’t tuned in to that channel for a very long time now, but the movies that I got the most excited about as a kid were Twitches, Wendy Wu, Camp Rock, The Cheetah Girls, and High School Musical 1 and 2.

If you met your favorite celebrity, would you be calm or star struck? I’d be starstruck in a calm way; like I’d most likely be too shocked to get more than a few words out. I’m sure I’d come off as shy or boring haha, which is why I’ve refused to meet or interact with my favorite celebrities even if I’ve already had the chance to.

Are there any lights on in the room you're in? I have a ceiling light and a desk lamp, but both are turned off. My only light source at the moment is my laptop screen.

What's your favorite subject in school? History.

What's your favorite holiday? My birthday, if that counts. Christmas can also be great but only for the food, the reunions with extended family, and the freedom to guiltlessly cut off contact with colleagues for a couple of weeks. All other aspects of it make me miserable though.

Do you ever have to do yard work? I’ve never had to do that before.

Is your school close to your house? I mean, it wasn’t a 10-minute walk away but it’s relatively close and driving to my university objectively doesn’t take too long unless there’s heavy traffic. If there’s absolutely no barriers I could get to school in 15-20 minutes, but this is really only just for weekends where I have to go to school for some reason. If there’s traffic (and there always is), I take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half.

Speaking of school, how did you get there today? I haven’t been to my school since the first week of March, and I’ve already graduated since then.

Do you think Bad Romance is a catchy song, or an annoying one? I can honestly tell you that I have genuinely never gotten sick of that song. It’s a late 2000s classic, man. Of course it was too explicit for my 11 year old ears when it first came out, but I found it catchy nonetheless.

Do you use perfect grammar online? I always try to be correct, yes. When I use improper grammar it’s usually because I’m joking.

Are you currently using a laptop? Yup.

Do you have any live versions of songs in your music software? I haven’t used iTunes in a while and Spotify, which I do use, doesn’t work that way.

Did/do you listen to Britney Spears songs? I’ve never skipped her singles whenever I caught them on the radio and I’ve always fairly enjoyed the music she puts out, but I normally don’t voluntarily listen to her i.e. look up her songs myself on Spotify.

Is it a windy day? It is now that it’s nighttime, but it was a little humid all day today.

In the past week, have you ridden in a taxi? No. I’m not actually sure if that’s even already allowed...the possibility of public transport is still pretty murky where I live.

What shorthand do you use the most? I have no idea what this means. I did try looking it up but I dunno if I’ve ever had to use shorthand at any point in my life.

Do you ever wish on stars at night? Every now and then, but it’s just the little kid in me.

What color are your eyes? Dark brown. I feel like I answer this at least once a week.

What album is the current song you're listening to off of? Not listening to music but the last song I heard is from an album called Petals For Armor.

What are you doing after you finish this? Try not to cry/break down. Find something to watch on YouTube. Maybe play with Cooper to destress and forget about my problems for a bit.

In your opinion, what song is the most overplayed right now? Other than songs I occasionally put on repeat, I have not heard any new music for a while now.

Are you in a band? Nope, never been.

How clean is your bedroom? We just tidied it up and rearranged a few things last month so I’d say it’s clean - at least tidier than it used to be. And I’m a little proud that despite how rough life has been, I’ve managed to keep it clean. It’s the little things.

Is there a pen within reaching distance of you? Yeah, there’s one on my desk and I can easily reach out and grab it.

Are you sitting at a desk? I’ve moved to my bed for now. My back does not appreciate sitting at a desk all day.

Does your favorite band have a male or female lead singer? Female.

Do you normally shut your bedroom door before you go to sleep? Yesssssssss. We have a light source by the stairs that extends to the hallway and reaches my room, so it gets super annoying if my door is even just slightly ajar because my eyes get distracted by the faint light. My door has to be completely shut for me to feel comfortable in the privacy of my room.

Have you seen the movie Moulin Rouge? I haven’t. I loooove Lady Marmalade, but I’m just not sure if the movie itself is my cup of tea.

Would you ever dye your hair a different color? I’d love to have the chance to do that, yeah.

Are there any framed pictures in the room you're in? There are a couple.

Have you ever been to a Broadway show? Nope.

Do you watch So You Think You Can Dance? I don’t think so but I do remember watching a few episodes of Dancing with the Stars because a wrestler that I liked was one of the contestants for one season. I’m just not sure of SYTYCD also featured wrestlers in their shows; if that has been the case in the past- and I’m just not sure because my memory is a little hazy - I would’ve given it a watch.

What's your favorite movie soundtrack? The Twilight Saga churned out some bomb ass soundtracks. Other than that, I also enjoyed Interstellar’s and Requiem for a Dream’s.

Do you prefer group or individual work? Depends on what kind of work needs to be done. If a task is graphic design or video editing-heavy, I would prefer to work with other people; but if it’s gonna be heavy on something that’s already my forte, I like to work by myself.

Do you have a key to anything besides your house? Just my car.

Are you wearing anything with stripes? Not at the moment.

What time did you go to sleep last night? 9:45 I think? A little later than 10? Somewhere along that range.

Did anyone tell you you were beautiful today? No.

What show did you last watch? Friends.

Do you think you'll do anymore surveys today? I doubt it. This one is already quite longer than the surveys I usually take.

What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Cookies and cream; and more recently, chocolate chip cookie dough.

When was the last time you stayed home from school sick? Sometime in February last year. I developed a fever the night before but wasn’t able to start feeling better by the next morning, so I had to skip the one class I had that day.

Could you ever complete a 500-piece puzzle? Yes. I’m actually planning to buy a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle; it’s one of the items I’ve put on my cart recently. Depressed Robyn is also spend-a-lot-of-money-on-artsy-craftsy-supplies-Robyn, so.

If you could run a red light and not get caught, would you? Hell no.

Do you like to listen to music as you do your homework? Not usually, but sometimes I’ll put on lo-fi since that’s the only kind of music I can listen to and still keep my focus.

Did you think Adam Lambert's AMA performance was really that controversial? I’ve never encountered it, but I doubt I’ll have a problem with it if I do get to watch the performance. I love Adam Lambert and I've never found myself shaking my head at whatever he’s doing.

Do any bands flat-out annoy you? They’re a boy band more than anything but The Vamps has consistently irritated me through the years.

Do you have a mirror in your bedroom? No. I used to, but I gave it to my sister.

Was today a birthday for any of your friends? I don’t think so. With all my social media being deactivated I never get notified about birthdays anymore, but I’m fairly sure none of my friends blow out their candles every October 22nd.

When was the last time you rode in a limo? I’ve never been in one.

Do you take naps daily? No. I can’t really do that anymore since I have an 8-hour shift on weekdays, lol.

Do you still make Christmas lists? No.

Do you watch the show Dexter? I tried getting into the show because it used to always be said in the same breath as Breaking Bad, but I never got invested. I heard later seasons sucked too, so that also turned me off from continuing to pursue the series.

What's the background on your phone? I have a motivational comic that says “You’re doing really well given the circumstances” as my lockscreen. Cooper smiling is my home screen.

When were/will you be a a sophomore in high school? That was six years ago.

Are you scared of any animals? Any flying insect or bug, and I find them scarier if they come with a loud buzz.

Have you ever been to any sort of convention? YouTube Fanfest, if that counts as one. I’m not really sure what counts as a convention haha, but that’s the closest thing I’ve got.

Which song did you last listen to on repeat? Why We Ever by Hayley Williams.

Where do you want to live when you grow up? I’ve stopped thinking about that for now. My focus has since shifted to asking myself if I’ll still even be alive in a few years...ugh, how far we’ve fallen.

Are you currently using a blanket? No. It’s not cold enough for a blanket yet, but maybe in a few hours.

Are there any songs that make you cry? A lot.

How many siblings do you have? Two.

What are you doing this weekend? I have no idea.

Do you prefer swimming at the beach or in a pool? BEEEEEEEEACH. Once I took my first dip in a beach, I never wanted to swim in a pool ever again.

When was the last time you had a haircut? March.

Which musical instrument do you think sounds the prettiest? Piano, saxophone, and violin. Can’t pick a favorite; I think they all sound beautiful.

Are you in band or chorus at your school? I was never in either.

Do you know what you want for Christmas? Yeah but they’re all intangible. I want to be happy, be at peace, normalcy, etc. I’ve stopped pining for presents, especially now that I can afford my own shit.

Do you watch fireworks on New Year's Eve? Always.

Is your birthday within the next three months? Nope. You’ll have to add three more months to that timeframe.

How long is the song you're listening to? No music.

Are you anticipating anything this week? I’m waiting for a couple of very specific emails to come in, and I hope they do before the week ends.

Is your mom or dad the older parent? My dad, but only by 8 months. They were born in the same year.

Have you taken the SATs yet? I never had to take them, but I heard they’re triiiiiiiicky.

Do you watch anything on E? We never had E! in our cable service but I like tuning into that channel whenever we stay at hotels because I get to watch KUWTK, hehe.

Are you going to get off the computer now that you've finished this? Most likely.

ABS-CBN STUDIO EXPERIENCE TRINOMA: Guide for First-Timers

Here’s our travel guide to the new ABS-CBN Studio Experience in Trinoma which covers prices, top attractions, and opening hours! This is perfect for families and friends. It’s also a great choice for venue for team-building!

Filipinos love watching television. That’s for sure. Many of us won’t give a damn if we miss a get-together with friends but would die if we miss an episode of our favorite reality shows. We may not know much about our friends and partners, but we know everything about our most-followed celebrities and characters. We may have trouble memorizing our lessons at school, but we know by heart all the most unforgettable teleserye lines.

I’m lucky to be part of the TV industry in my past life (LOL). I previously worked as a member of a production design team servicing ABS-CBN shows and Star Cinema projects before becoming a full-time travel blogger. But gosh, back then, there was never a family or school reunion where I wouldn’t receive comments like, “Ipasok mo naman ako sa Showtime!”

Our collective fascination with showbiz make us wonder what it feels like to be a contestant in a game shows or to audition in front of celebrity judges or simply to rub elbows with our favorite singers, actors, and hosts.

Well, you can stop wondering now. Now, you can enjoy being part of all the fun and action even just for a day at ABS-CBN Studio Experience!

WHAT’S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?

It’s an interactive indoor mini-theme park where you get to experience what it is like to be on your favorite TV show. It features some of the network’s most popular programs like The Voice, Minute to Win It, Pinoy Big Brother, ASAP, and Showtime.

It’s not a studio tour because these are not the actual taping locations. That’s what I thought at first too. But it’s more like a collection of set replicas in one place. It’s genius, actually. I’ve never seen anything like it before.

The Studio opened last September 2018. It’s located on the 4th floor of Trinoma in Quezon City.

Additional facts about ABS-CBN Studio Experience (Studio XP):

Operating Hours. 12:00 NN – 8:30 PM (Weekdays); 10:00 AM – 8:30 PM (Weekends). Note: These are the usual operation hours, but time may vary depending on the date.

Themed Areas. This 1,400 square meters studio city is divided into three areas — Reality, Fantasy, and Retail.

Production Staff. The term used for ABS-CBN Studio XP employees.

Official Website. ABS-CBN Studio Experience

ABS-CBN Studio Experience is located on the 4th floor of Trinoma Mall in Quezon City. Trinoma is directly connected to MRT North Avenue Station, so you can just take the MRT to get there.

Any day is the best time to visit! Normally it is less crowded during the weekdays compared to the weekends, when most people have no work and just spend time with family. If you want to experience everything, it’s ideal to go during the weekdays. But you can still experience them during the weekends if you come early as it would only take you an estimated time of two and a half hours to experience everything.

There’s actually a screen at the ticketing booth showing the day’s shifts and how many slots are still available. The amusement park will be controlling the foot traffic to ensure that everyone will make the most of the place, the time, and the money they spent.

The admission ticket for Studio XP is called XPass. There are two types of XPass — XPass Prime and XPass Lite. XPass Prime allows access to all attractions except for Star Catcher and #Starsnaps, while XPass Lite allows access to all attractions except Star Catcher, #Starsnaps, and Kapamilya Theater.

The XPass is like a reloadable tap/touch card. It’s like your Studio XP lifetime I.D. It works just like the Beep Cards. Keep it with you at all times. Here are the rates:

XPass Prime: P375 (first-time guests); P350 (returning guests)

XPass Lite: P300 (first-time guests); P275 (returning guests)

Xtra (Optional): P125 (Unlimited Kapamilya Theater Access); P25/attempt (Star Catcher); P50/print (#Starsnaps); Additional P50 (Personalized Card)

You can buy on the day itself or you may book online. The ticketing booth is located on the left side of the entrance, beside the Heroes Burger takeout counter.

Go to the ticketing booth.

Check the time and choose the shift that is most ideal for you (or your group).

Choose your preferred XPass: Prime or Lite?

Load your XPass. If you are a returning guest, you just have to bring your existing Pass and reload it.

Tap your XPass on the designated sensor machines to access the attractions.

For big groups, especially those availing for field trips or team building events, you may reserve slots or block off the whole day itself online. A calendar will show you the available days and slots. To reserve and book online, check here.

Pinoy Big Brother – Breakout

This will test your group’s teamwork. Complete the tasks given by Big Brother on time or before the time runs out. The challenge is good for two to four people.

Activity duration: 15-20 minutes

Showtime – Director’s Booth

Located just across Pinoy Big Brother Breakout, this activity will test your group’s coordination and teamwork. Work well together and help each other out by telling out loud what you need to do to surpass each level. See your group’s ranking at the end of the challenge.

Activity duration: 10-15 minutes

Minute to Win It – The Experience

Beat the other three challengers as you accomplish each of the three tasks before the time is up and be the Last Man Standing. See if you can finish the Ultimate Minute to Win It Challenge. Exciting prizes await the winners.

Activity duration: 10-15 minutes

The Voice – Open Mic

Sing your heart out and see who among the four celebrity judges will turn for you. Is it Sarah, Bamboo, Sharon or Lea? Or will you be a four-chair turner? Choose a song, rehearse it backstage, and sing your heart out to impress the judges.

Activity duration: 15-20 minutes

Star Lab

Sing with your favorite ASAP star, answer difficult Fast Talk questions with Boy Abunda (GP, PG or SPG), act funny and witty with the kids of Goin’ Bulilit or act out famous movie or teleserye scenes with your favorite actors/actresses.

Activity duration: 15-20 minutes

Kapamilya Theater

This is an 80-seater 4D theater that will let you experience watching featured shows and musicals or play interactive games with other people.

During our visit, the shows were ASAP 4D and FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.

Activity duration: 15-20 minutes

Action Academy

If you are into fitness and physically challenging activities, this one is for you. Experience being trained like your favorite Kapamilya action stars like Cards Dalisay. Finish the obstacles and outplay the rest of the trainees.

Note: There’s a 4-ft height requirement for this attraction. It can accommodate 20 people per round.

ARX

Defeat the enemies/monsters in this augmented reality experience. Strike, duck, and defeat The Boss! This attraction can accommodate a maximum of four persons. Activity duration: 10-15 minutes

Other Attractions

Celebrity Calling & #Starsnaps

According to the official website, the top picks are the following:

Action Academy

The Voice Open Mic

Pinoy Big Brother Breakout

But during our visit, Pinoy Big Brother Breakout and Minute to Win It: The Experience seem to be the most popular.

However, we think It’s Showtime: Director’s Booth and Minute to Win It: The Experience are the most fun.

As the shifting aims to ensure that everyone gets to enjoy most of the attractions, if not all, just being on time for your preferred shift will give you enough time to savor the experience. You may want to rank the attractions and go straight first to the ones that are on top of your list.

It’s also wise to prioritize the most popular ones if you see that there are little to no line.

Participate and take on all the challenges. Don’t be shy. It will be fun!

Each attraction lasts for a specific period of time. You can check the information board that can be seen near each attraction’s entrance/facade.

Unlike most amusement parks, the food inside Studio XP is very affordable, considering that the main ingredient is organic. Heroes Burger is inspired by the classic Pinoy Komiks superheroes. It offers these six organic burger meal options:

Kaboom Burger – P55

Pow-Wow Cheeseburger – P65

Double Slam Cheeseburger – P95

Darna Burger Meal – P89

Lastikman Cheeseburger Meal – P99

Captain Barbell Double Cheeseburger Meal – P129

All three combo meals (Darna, Lastikman, and Captain Barbell) include french fries and drinks. Heroes Burger has a takeout counter that is accessible to the people outside the Studio XP. It’s situated beside the ticketing counter.

Outside food and drinks are not allowed inside. If you want to eat outside, do it before and after your preferred shift. Reminder: Once you tap to exit, you cannot go back inside. You need to reload again if you wish to enter again.

The ABS-CBN Studio Experience has the Retail Studio greeting Kapamilyas/guests right at the entrance. You can buy Kapamilya-themed merchandise and other limited offers before or after the studio experience.

Wear comfortable clothing.

Charge your phone or bring a power bank. Have an extra battery for your camera. You don’t want to miss the opportunity to snap those fun moments.

Keep your XPass with you. It’s yours. Bring it whenever you want to experience the studio city again. You just need to reload it. If you forgot to bring it with you on your next visit, you have to purchase another card.

Outside food and drinks are not allowed inside the park.

Please follow the rules and guidelines.

Fall in line and wait for your turn. Be courteous and respect other people’s time and space.

Parents and adults should look after the children while inside the studio city.

Keep an eye on your belongings.
