Dear Alex, We're Dating. Tama, Mali?! Love, Catherine.

After helping countless women cope with breakup with her first book, “Dear Alex, Break Na Kami?! Paano?! Love, Catherine, Alex Gonzaga” is back with her follow-up book that’s sure to be part of her beloved readers’ journeys in life and love.

Titled Dear Alex, We’re Dating. Tama, Mali?! Love, Catherine, the second book in the Dear Alex series was launched last March 20 in National Book Store – Glorietta 1, much to the delight of fans who have been anticipating the book’s release.

Being the fun and perky host that she is, Alex entertained the crowd as she indulged them with witty tips and hilarious retorts during the Q&A portion. Making the afternoon even more engaging was Robi Domingo, who served as the event’s host. After the program, Alex gamely took selfies with her fans and signed their books.

From “Where to Go” to “How to Act,” the second book will guide one through the different stages of dating. Adding appeal and sense of humor to the book are practical pieces of dating and relationship advice from her daddy Bonoy, mommy Pinty, and ate Toni.

“Napakadaming rules—gawin mo ito, gawin mo ’yan. My book, however, is not a rule book. This is simply a guidebook,” Alex says about her book. She writes about her dating experiences and learning with the same quotable wit and brutal frankness that fans loved in Book 1, which sold more than 120 thousand copies.

Published by ABS-CBN Publishing, “Dear Alex, We’re Dating. Tama, Mali?! Love, Catherine” is the latest addition in ABS-CBN Publishing, Inc’s successful line of bestselling books. Alex is part of an elite roster of authors which include Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago, Georgina Wilson, Solenn Heussaff, Ramon Bautista, and Juan Miguel Severo.

To make things worse, the biological donor of the sperm specimen is a married man, a former playboy, and a cancer survivor named Rafael, who happens to be Jane’s ultimate crush.

How will Jane face the situation? Will Michael pursue his plan to marry Jane despite her being pregnant with a different man? Will Rafael and wife Petra take Jane’s baby away from her? What if Jane starts to grow some feelings towards Rafael?

iPhone SE

Steve Jobs before believed that a 3.5 inch iPhone is the perfect size for consumers stating that bigger smartphones are harder to hold rather than the smaller ones, but after his demise Apple under Tim Cook slowly transitioned from making smaller iPhones to making phablet sized phones to go with the competition.

After releasing plus sized iPhones last year namely the iPhone 6, 6+, and 6S, the Cuppertino based company surprised the world again after going back to releasing smaller phones with the release of the iPhone SE.

The iPhone SE features a 4 inch LED Backlit IPS LCD Screen that closely resembles that of the iPhone 5 line. The SE runs on iOS 9.3 with an A9 chipset that is also used in the iPhone 6 line. In short the iPhone SE is like an iPhone 6 trapped in an iPhone 5's body, basically it's a 5S with the performance of a 6 since it also features a Fingerprint Sensor.

The SE also features a 12 megapixel main camera and a 1.2 megapixel front facing one, the phone is powered by a non removable Li-Po 1642MAh battery. You can choose between a 16GB at $399 or 64GB variant
