Movie Review: Juno
This is not your ordinary teen flick. Juno is a wonderful, intelligent, and witty movie about awakenings, decisions, and relationships.
This film’s charm lies in the the realistic portrayal of characters. No spunky, beautiful high school girl on lead. The protagonist is a sarcastic yet sensitive wisecrack who can easily be tagged as a weirdo. Juno MacGruff (played by Ellen Page) decides that it’s time to explore sex and she does so with her classmate, Paulie Bleaker (Michael Cera). When she finds out that she’s pregnant she plays it cool and considers an abortion but she later decides to stay pregnant and give up her child to well-to-do couple Mark (Jason Bateman) and Vanessa (Jennifer Garner). The plan looks perfect but as it is in real life, things don’t always work out that way.

Cebu Blogger’s Meet Up!
Just yesterday I and a blog buddy decided a bloggers meet up for Cebu based bloggers. Actually, it all started in one of the forums (istorya.net) wherein a lot of guys were bragging about their adsense earnings. One is expecting $1,300 of adsense earnings for February and we all envy his acheivement. I wonder when and how can I earn that much, but rest assured I’ll be able to earn that one if i’ll go fulltime blogging. For a fact also is that I’m currently earning $700 for paid reviews but I wanted to hit adsense since its a great tool for new bloggers wherein they can really provide a very lucrative profit for part time bloggers.
As they all said content is king but traffic is king, and one traffic driver is SEO. This is what that guy emphasized. After all things have been set up like optimizing your blog and creating a pillar content, one has to work with SEO afterward, and this is where I fail and mostly fail. I don’t know how, I’m just limited with the keywords and everything. Thus, this so called first Cebu blogger’s meet up would be the key. We will be exchanging notes since most of us are all newbies and noobs.
Movie Review: My Best Friend’s Girlfriend (BFGF)
Poor girl meets rich guy. Enemies become lovers. The tacky lass morphs into a hot chic. A spoiled brat learns responsibility. An initial threat becomes the biggest life-changing opportunity ever. Make-believe turns into reality. Add the signature Marimar dance and a dozen product placements! Name an old trick, this movie probably has it!
Grace (Marian Rivera) the working student and Evo (Richard Gutierrez) the spoiled brat first collide when she dances at a stag party and he steals a kiss from her. They clash and hope to never see each other again. But that doesn’t happen. Grace’s boyfriend, Mark (JC de Vera,) introduces her to his best friend, who turns out to be Evo. Mark leaves for the US and Evo takes advantage of the opportunity to convince Grace to pose as his new girlfriend so that his Ex would get jealous. Otherwise, he’ll let Mark know about Grace’s gimmick at the stag party. We all know what happens next: They unexpectedly fall in love.
“Love comes in unexpected packages,†says the movie.
The irony is that there’s nothing beyond expectation in BFGF, not even love.
Between Paper and Pinoys
If there’s anything clear and indubitable in the early morning episode of “Harapan” aired by ABS-CBN, it must be the fact that the lines were more clearly drawn between those who believe in Lozada and those who believe in all the queen’s men. This goes without saying that the lines became more pronounced than before, apart from the fact that certain sectors in the society are more than willing to support Jun Lozada, which also goes without saying that they are more than willing to abandon the defenses of Abalos, Razon, Dee and the rest of the bigwigs allegedly involved in the ZTE-NBN anomaly.
Abalos took the effort of bringing sets of documents in his live television face-off with Lozada. It seems that Abalos has been doing his assignments recently, which can be taken either as a good thing or otherwise. For one, it is a good thing because it may, though not necessarily, aid in hastening the resolution of the present conflict which besets not only those involved in the NBN controversy but the rest of the nation. And thus ultimately sending behind bars the crooks who are no less than big fat liars. On the other hand, it may be a bad thing, giving one the impression that Abalos is too engrossed in parading selected documents just to salvage his reputation from what can be one of the greatest disappointments in the history of this nation. But of course, Abalos has all the rights to do so, to defend his side amid the wrath of an outraged public.
