Rachelle Gerodias: Vienna, here she comes
April 14, 2008
Maria Rachelle Gerodias recently left the country for Austria to perform Liu in Puccini’s famous Turandot. Although she terribly misses the Philippines, she is also very happy to finally arrive at the pinnacle of every classical music artist’s dream - to perform in Vienna, at the Volksoper Wien nonetheless! As an artist who believes that one does not stop from learning, Rachelle sought the help of Carol Byers in preparing her for her role in Turandot and she was convinced to audition for a summer opera festival there. Apparently, she was asked for a third aria, which she said is a good sign.
Offstage with Rachelle Gerodias
April 14, 2008
Just like any other ordinary Pinay, Rachelle also dreams, but unlike most ordinary Pinays, Rachelle stretches bones and muscles to reach for that dream.
Her story is unlike many other celebrity story, Rachelle wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth nor was she spoiled rotten by indulging parents. Her rise to stardom is one of hard work, a series of self discoveries, trials, failures and successes.

The Return of Filipino Animation
February 20, 2008
It’s been years since we last saw a full-length Filipino animation and that time we all reacted that it is not at par yet with American Cartoons, Japanese Anime, and the general Animation industry in the world. BUT, if we kept an open-mind back then, Filipino Animation releases (full-length or otherwise) becomes better and better for every release.
And you know what? This year we will be able to see the (as gamers say it) “bestest” of Filipino Animation has to offer. Want to see the trailers?

Passing Time and Wishing a Happy Chinese New Year!
February 10, 2008
Loving the New Layout
Horaa for the Chinese! They invented the fireworks! Moon Cakes! Noodles! Herbal Meds!
I made 2 reviews recently for Dead Silence and 12 and Holding. Both are very good movies. I recommend them….
There’s nothing really to blog about since I’m such a bum right now…. Damn… I am intoxicating myself with Ladytron, an electric pop band thats really into my taste with house-like genre music….
So novelty. I’m not really much picky with music and I don’t know the band or the people who sang that song, but I really love to listen to the music that they make;
I’m interested in the composition, not the artist. Men.style.com gave out their top ten looks for Fall 2008, which is a little bit odd because it’s still Fall 2007. [When we say Fall 08, it means the line is meant to be for late 2008 to early 2009]
