Victor Basa is Safe!
November 6, 2007
Gaby dela Merced has decided to make a voluntary exit on Saturday to pursue her dreams of becoming an international racecar driver. She was asked by Big Brother to choose between staying in the house or attending her seminar (Driver Development Program for International Racing) in the United States next week.
Even though it was a very difficult decision to make, she opted to leave the Big Brother House to attend her seminar. We feel a little bit sad because she is one of the few women (alongside Yayo Aguila and Ethel Booba) we are rooting for to become the Big Winner in this season.
Save Victor Basa!
November 5, 2007
Fresh, young and yummy hunk Victor Basa is nominated for eviction this week on Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2. Mga lecheng bilat ni-nominate itong ating yummy yummy screw me boy! (those f*ckin bitches who nominated our yummy yummy screw me boy!).
Along with brothers Baron and Donald Geisler (the two-in-1 housemates), and Formula Racing Goddess Gaby dela Merced, and Ultimate Pasaway Ethel Booba (jowaers of hot hot Janvier Daly!), our little boy Victor will at the mercy of the general viewing (and non-viewing) public.
London Film Festival, day six
October 23, 2007
If you had a choice between supporting one of our own and celebrity spotting, which would you choose? I tried to do both, which doesn’t quite work out. Foster Child and Lion for Lambs red carpet on the same evening–ambitious, but worth a shot.

Ang Gay Lingo sa Panahon ng Impormasyon
ni Miko D. Santos
Panimula
Hindi lihim sa atin ang malalaking mga pagbabago sa wikang ginagamit nating mga Pilipino sa ating panahon ngayon—ang Panahon ng Impormasyon. Ang papel na ito ay tatalakay sa dalawang magkaugnay na konsepto, ang Panahon ng Impormasyon at ang yumayabong na wika ng mga bading, ang sward language o gay lingo, lahat ay sa konteksto ng Pilipinas. Sa ilang pahinang papel na ito, susubukan kong himayin ang mga pinagmulan, kasaysayan, mga dahilan, mga teorya (personal at reperensyal), at ang kasalukuyang gamit at epekto sa mga Pilipino ng dalawang bagay na ito, lalo na ang kanilang kaugnayan sa isa’t-isa.
Pacquiao, Save Us
October 5, 2007
October 6, 2007 is another day for Pacquiao fans to debate and possibly celebrate if the Pambansang Kamao will win over Marco Antonio Barerra. Of course, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, will stop, take a break and turn their t.v. sets on just to see Manny fight. Fact is, I’m not a fan, but of course, as the nation’s pride in the realm of boxing, I cannot help but be awed in him as well.
In recent years, boxing has had a firm hold on us Pinoys that even choosing who will sing our national anthem for boxing fights has become such a troublesome affair. Hopefully, Kyla will not screw this one like what Christian Bautista did on the Penalosa fight just a month ago. I mean, missing out several important lines from the Lupang Hinirang is such a terrible, terrible mistake. And I have to say, I pity Christian Bautista for his tarnished rep.

Invectives against Desperate Houswives?
October 4, 2007
There’s been a lot of developments in national politics this week which I have not been able to monitor anymore and which I will try to follow by the time the semester ends. In the meantime, we have the International Bloggers’ Day for Burma tomorrow. (Check it out, check it out!)
But what’s more interesting for most people is this: the TV series Desperate Housewives has been getting the ire of some Pinoys. Frankly though, I don’t think there is enough reason for a collective and frantic supplication of invectives against the show. My sentiment echoes that of the Sassy Lawyer:
Desperate Housewives’ Rather Insulting Remark about Medical Schools in the Philippines
October 2, 2007
I got an email from Rob Klaproth this morning that points to a scene in a recent episode of well-known TV show Desperate Housewives, which he and his Filipino boyfriend found offensive and racist.
In this particular scene, Susan Mayer Delfino, played by actress Teri Hatcher, is talking with her doctor, which, I presume, is her OB-Gyne. She then tells him this line which marked the spot:
Okay, before we go any further, can I check those diplomas? Coz I would just like to make sure they are not from some med school in the Philippines.
You can listen to the 56-second MP3 of the dialogue that Rob sent me, which I uploaded on my Multiply.

The Oscar de La Hoya Scandal and Callcenter Sex Videos! WTF?
September 27, 2007
If you don’t have Cable TV (or if you live a pathetic life and you don’t have a TV at all), then most probably you haven’t heard of the Oscar de La Hoya Scandal. So yeah, 2 days after the so-called scandal, I decided to make a post about it. Not that it’s more important than my long-delayed wedding post (I just can’t seem to strike a high note with it yet), but it’s just something that I feel am responsible to share. Read more here.
Experience the ShowBiz Church
September 26, 2007
Paolo Lorenzana recently published an interesting article, Jesus Christ & Superstars – a timely revelation for Filipino churchians. Paolo named the most luminous and influential showbiz personalities who had a spotlightenment and has now become visible envoys of Victory Christian Fellowship: Kitchie Nadal, Carmi Martin, Donita Rose-Villarama, Piolo Pascual, Sam Milby, Toni Gonzaga, and Rica Peralejo who’s currently under the discipleship of actress-turned-evangelist Coney Reyes.
In that same commentary, Paolo daringly wrote his observation that “the God of Born-Again Christianity seems to have become an all-encompassing manager and publicist in the realm of showbiz, shifting past scandal into salvation and turning sexy stars and drug-dredged lotharios into disciples”. That’s an intriguing viewpoint but it’s just a confirmation of Rick Ross’s evaluation of controversial religious groups (Rick Ross is a cult intervention specialist).
Nobody’s Perfect – Even Pinoy Superstars!
September 7, 2007
Pinoywood icons, Blockbuster celebrities, professional basketball stars, and Filipino award winners are very much adored and highly respected in the Philippine society. But things are not always what they seem. The reality: Nobody’s perfect – even distinguished Pinoy superstars!
Bong Alvarez
Ex-cager Paul “Bong” Alvarez was criminally charged for allegedly mauling a taxi driver and an ABS-CBN female reporter. The Mandaluyong City Prosecutors’ Office told Bong Alvarez to pay P4,000 for bail. The deputy director for the Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility added that Alvarez violated press freedom when he prevented the reporter to interview the taxi driver at the police station.
Nora Aunor
Nora Aunor, labeled as Superstar in Philippine cinema, was arrested for possession of illegal substance at the Los Angeles Airport in 2006 and was sentenced to “18 months of deferred entry of judgment,” according to a clerk of court of the Superior Court of Los Angeles in California. Nora Aunor once again shocked the Filipino community when she got married in Las Vegas but not to any of the men who came into her life—but to a woman, her talent manager Norie Sayo.
I’m not a fan but…
September 5, 2007
What is it about celebrity that makes people queue for hours for a glimpse of their favorite stars? I don’t know. I never thought I’d do that myself. But I thought, if the chance comes, I might as well take it. It’s not every day that you see someone from the movies face to face.
Though I didn’t go as far as shouting out her name when she walked down the red carpet, I must admit that I did get starstruck when all that separated us was a metal barrier. I felt sorry for her because she indulged the crowd so much. It’s part of the job description, but if you’re just an actress who wants to work and live like a normal person, it must be quite tiring.

Sino pa’ng magsasalita?
September 3, 2007
(Originally posted at Battik’s Workshop last Sept. 1, 2007)
Nagsalita na si Joey De Leon ukol sa drama ispeysyal ni Willie Revillame.
Maraming bumabatikos kay Joey. Kesyo bakit kailangan pa niyang magsalita? Mayroon pang mga patudtsada sa pagkatao niya.
Kinailangang sumagot ni Joey dahil hinamon siya ni Willie nang walang sapat na dahilan. Natural lamang na ipagtanggol niya ang kanyang sarili. Ginamit siya ni Willie para maibaling ang spotlight mula sa kapalpakan ni Willie at ng show niya patungo sa pagkatao ni Joey. Pinersonal ni Willie si Joey para magalit ang mga tao sa huli. Sa paraang iyon, na-guarantee ni Willie na sa kanya pa rin ang simpatya ng mga tagasunod nya. Kaya naman kalokohan ang sinabi niya kay Joey na, “Sa yo na ang ratings mo!” Dahil sa pagngawa niya na parang bata, ginawan na rin niya ng paraan para masiguradong di siya iiwan ng kanyang mga tagasunod.
Charles’ Reviews: Evan Almighty
August 28, 2007
One day before my Licensure Examination for Teachers, I decided to relax a bit and shrug off my nervous, so I watch a movie. There was no good movie, except for Evan Almighty. Top-billed by Steve Carell and Morgan Freeman.
The movie is the sequel for Bruce Almighty, starring Jim Carrey. But as with the usual sequels, this is better that the first film. The prosthetics used in this film is so superb that anyone can be fooled by Carell’s beard, and growing hair.
The movie revolves around a newly-elected US Congressman, who is working to “Change the World”. They just moved into a new house, and works on a bill that calls for destruction of National Parks and converting them into subdivisions. But as life moves on, strange things start to happen. Animals (all different kinds of animals) start
following Evan around. And the number 614 appears everywhere he goes. Evan soon learns that the number is a verse in the Bible. In the book of Genesis, 6:14 is the verse in which God instructs Noah to build the ark. The ark was designed to meet the actual measurements of the biblical ark, measuring 450 feet long, 80 feet wide, and 51 feet high.
Prequel to Saging Lang Ang May Puso Single
August 14, 2007
I have to say I still can’t get over this video clip yet. And oh, before I forget, Mark Lapid has another crappy movie, Batas Militar.
Anyway, this is the promotional trailer for Apoy sa Dibdib ng Samar. It pretty much explains everything about how Mark Lapid’s line came about. Truly amazing, truly a work of zombies and mutants.
Saging Lang Ang May Puso Single
August 10, 2007
Whoever thought of doing this wonderful song/remix is truly amazing. The song was inspired from Mark Lapid’s movie, Apoy sa Dibdib ng Samar, which exudes utter stupidity and blunt disregard for the word entertainment. When Lapid’s infamous line started to circulate via text, my friends and I got engrossed with the idea of buying a (pirated) cd of his movie. I mean, c’mon, who wouldn’t want a copy of the biggest flop but funniest movie of the century?
This is the original clip from Lapid’s movie:
Lea Salonga, Nagmaasim sa ASAP!
August 10, 2007
Hindi tumalab ang Happee Smile ni Lea Salonga noong ginawan siya ng tribute ng ASAP sa ABS-CBN kamakailan. Nakita siya nang ilang beses na tila hindi natutuwa sa mga performance nina Sheryn Regis, Rachel Ann Go, at iba pang mga Champions, sa saliw ng kanyang mga di-malilimutang Broadway performance.

The Johnny Depp Fashion
August 1, 2007
I am not a fashion guru. Not at all. But I do know that Johnny Depp, despite whatever he puts on, simply can make it work. Oh yeah. It’s like he’s got his own sense of fashion. Sabi nga, “Kering-keri.”

Human Tetris. Anyone?
July 18, 2007
I still remember when Tetris was the “IN” thing and you just feel completely “obsolete” and left out if you don’t have this handheld game.
I was browsing in Yahoo and found this video. Looks like silly game but fun!
Watch this video.
Bad Girls Rule
July 16, 2007
First in line is movie beauty Jessica Alba who bravely appealed for more explicit male nudity in print.
The 26-year-old Fantastic Four actress is disgusted by the inequality between gender-targeted publications and is leading a campaign for more explicit nudity for female readers.
She says, “Men’s magazines have nipples, so why don’t women have a magazine where men show their penises?
“If there was a magazine like that I’d buy it. Nudity’s not a big deal to me.”
