7:48 pm - ARE YOU THE NEXT BIG STAR? or THE NEXT BIG FLOP?
|
Kung malapit lang ako ke songbird Regine, bubulungan ko siya na ayusin ang kanyang pagpo-pronounce.
Hindi kasi bagay sa age niya ang nagpapa-cute pa kapag nagho-host, at lahat ng "s" sa english word ay ipo-pronounce niya ng "sh" or "shwa" sound.
E.g. Regine : "Dapat right choice of shong" errrr, ate SONG, hindi shong. Eto "female contendersh at male contendersh!"
At tungkol naman sa show na Are You The Next Big Star? Recycle ang ibang contestants. Nakita ko na ang isa before pa sa Pinoy Pop Superstar. At ano ito? Rip off ng American Idol? With Keempee acting as the Ryan Seacrest??? hay naku, Pinagsamang American Idol at Pinoy Pop Superstar format.
Next show please.

11:07 pm - tired ideas . . .
|
1. bubble gang - ubos na ang gag after so many, many years (nagsimula sa pa tropang trumpo). Palaging kabaklaan, kapangitan at cross-dressing ang patawa. hayyyy so tired.
2. love triangle - halos lahat ng Pinoy teleserye, puro love triangle lang ang kayang i-discuss, pwede ba mga writers at creative heads, grow up!
3. revival - songs rediscovered, cartoon shows reissued, 70's and 80's movies turned into tele-seryes,
4. radio and tv commercials that sound like Radio Active Sago Project. Pwede ba tigilan na. Your rc's are sounding the same.
5. Reality Artista/Singer Searches - sabi nang lolo't lola ko, nagumpisa ang lahat sa Darigold Jamboree Singing Contest, naging Tawag ng Tanghalan, naging Bagong Kampeon. Ngayon nagkaroon na ng Pinoy Pop Superstar, Pinoy Dream Academy, naging Philippine Idol (franchise pa!), Pinoy Idol at ngayon Are you the next big star? Ang kaso sa last 3 searches, wala naman sumikat at naging star!

7:51 am - the king is dead!
|
Another Hollywood death, less than 12 hours after an angel went to heaven.
Michael Jackson, the king of pop, is dead.
Another icon of my youth gone in just one day!

1:19 am - Farrah Fawcett is dead . . .
|
The Jill Monroe of my youth.
She, who together with Sabrina Duncan and Kelly Garrett, Diana Prince, Jaime Somers, Steve Austin and Clark Kent . . . served me large doses of fantasy, and became my role models in life.
I feel the lost.
God bless her soul.

7:06 pm - sabi sa TV Patrol, Martin NIevera, itinayo ang badilang Pinoy sa Vegas . . .
|
Huh? Kailan pa naging Filipino citizen si Martin Nievera?
Hindi niya maawit nang maayos ang Philippiine National Anthem.
Hanggang ngayon, hindi siya makapagsalitan nang diretsong Pilipino.
Nauna pang mag-Pilipino nang maayos si Michelle Van Eimeren na asawa ni Ogie Alcasid.
Si Sam Milby na di hamak na tisoy at tunay na may dugong banyaga.
Si Jon Mullaly a.k.a Jon Avila na half Brit.
isa siyang niyog o coconut. Brown outside, white inside.

10:27 pm - ay pon . . . ang rebyu
|
I've long been a follower of iphone, and each improvement is much awaited . . . inching me closer to buying this gadget.
But based on the latest upgrade posted on apple website, i am disappointed.
New 32 gig is expected. I mean, after having 8 gig and 16 gig editions, 32 gig is but expected. I even expect it to reach as much as ipod classic's 160 gig.
New tethering features . . . Nokia has been doing it years ago. I've been using my Nokia phone to throw 3G signal to my macbook so i can surf the net.
New video, Nokia has been shooting videos since turn of this century.
3 megapixel camera. Heller, Nokia, Erickson, Samsung, et. al is already at the 5 to 8 mega pixel level. HD quality video, too. What's so great about a 3 megapix cam?
Voice command. An old feature of Nokia phones.
So i don't know what's there to crow about iphone 3gs.
GPS. Nokia has been flaunting about it 2 ++ years ago.
Gaya-gaya lang sa iba. Nawala ang originality. Walang breakthrough.
I will still wait for further reviews of this product.

Pinoy Pop Superstar.
Pinoy Idol.
and now . . .
Are you the next big star?

isa pa!
baka mamaya magaya yan dun sa 2 star search na nauna.
hindi naman naging Superstar.
hindi naman naging idolo ng Pinoy.
Baka mamaya, another minor star na naman kalabasan niyan.

12:18 am - Kung ako ang susulat ng commercial na ito . . .
|
Ito ang dapat na script :
Famous Rocker : Ako mismo, sasabihin ko sa mga kabataan na huwag silang magdadrug, para hindi sila magaya sa akin na ngayon ay sinisingil na ang aking kalusugan dahil sa abuso sa droga na ginawa ko nuong ako ay bata pa at sikat na sikat.
Famous Female Artista : ako mismo, hindi na ako magiging ingrata sa mga taong tumulong sa akin para maging isang tanyag na artista.
Famous Male Host : ako mismo, sasabihin ko sa mga kabataan na dapat isa lang ang pakakasalan ninyong babae.
At para sa mga tao sa likod ng tvc :
Infamous Creative Director : ako mismo, i will give credit to my writers. Hindi ko aagawin ang credit sa iba para kunwari magaling ako.
Kumare ni Creative Director : Ako mismo, titigilan ko ang pagpapower trip sa loob ng kumpanya, ang favoritism at grand standing para ipadama sa lahat ng malilit na tao na magaling ako.
May Ari ng kumpanya : Ako mismo, hindi ko na lolokohin ang mga empleado ko kung magkano ang kinita ng aming kumpanya. Hindi ako mandaraya sa tax, babayaran ko on time ang mga supplier at magiging tapat ako sa tunay kong asawa.
Kanang Kamay ng May ari ng Kumpanya - Ako mismo, titigilan ko na ang pagiging corrupt, tulad ng pagpapasa sa client ng CE ng non-existent events, ang pagiging tamad at pagpapapogi, ang power trip, pero wala naman akong ginagawa para umunlad ang negosyo.
Account Executive : Ako mismo, matututo akong magbigay ng basic courtesy sa mga katrabaho ko.
Kayo mismo, maniniwala ba kayo sa sinasabi nila?

8:50 am - Top 10 pet peeves of the month . . .
|
Not necessarily in order.
1. Hayden Kho, when he says he is sorry for what he did and that he has been undergoing counseling and treatment . . . and he sounds and looks so INSINCERE on TV.
 Look at that tongue!
2. Vicky Bello, when she says she is also a victim. Who cares about a wealthy, ummm, make that "filthy rich" matron who preys on young men just so she won't get bored with all her wealth?
3. Katrina Halili, when she says "binaboy ako" (is the right translantion "I was pigged???") and she seemed to enjoy every moment of it, knowing fully well that Hayden is very much a trophy boy of Vicky.
4. Bong Revilla, when he says "maniac siya! to hayden kho" Uhhhh, kuya, it takes a thief to catch a thief. Birds of the same feather are the same birds???
5. Boy Abunda, when he treats his image and self a little too seriously. Hello, ate, sana nag news and public affairs reporter or anchor ka, at hindi showbiz. Your talk shows may be raking in millions of advertising money, but it is still a trivial pursuit. Sana matuto kang tumawa sa impersonation sa iyo ni Jayson Gainza, dahil ako, tawang-tawa dahil kuhang-kuha ka niya. You should be flattered!
 
6. Mar Roxas, presidential wanna-be, obvious ba ang mga timing ng pronoucement ninyo ni Korina Sanchez???
7. Korina Sanchez, magaling ka sanang news anchor (translation : news reader), it's just that something is wrong with your personality or projection. Antipatika ang dating mo. Am sure, kung behind the camera ka, you will fare much better. At sa inyong dalawa ni Mar, tama na ang love-team formula, at pag-arte na parang mga 16 year olds kayo na in love sa isa't-isa. Nakakadiri.
8. Mayor Alfredo Lim, pakilinis ang Maynila. Hindi lang droga ang nakakarumi sa imahen niya. Mga pulubing bata na nagpupuyat sa Malate sa palilimos sa mga turista. Mga taong natutulog sa bangketa. Mga barangay tanod na humihingi ng parking fee pero walang iniissue na resibo.
9. Malacanang ergo PGMA. Not because the whistle-blower of Hello Garci scandal died of cancer, the issue died with him. If you want the issue to die, shut your mouth and don't even mention it when it has been clouded by more sensational, albeit, trivial controversy like the sex scandal. Sometimes, we are too talkative for our own good! Fire your presidential spokesperson!
10. Cha-Cha (Charter Change). Nothing intoxicates like power. Die! Die! You bastard! Die!

4:25 pm - of katrina, hayden, vicky and bong
|
Katrina Halili and Hayden Kho recently teamed up for a series of exotic dancing and sex-video that is the talk of the country today. Much like the influenza strain A(H1N1) virus, their tandem proves to be fatal to the sanity of the masses. Hormone-laden youths raided internet shops to watch and download the sex vids! Quiapo street-hawkers are suddenly realizing more than 600% profit from their pirated copies of the videos taken by no other than the doctor-turned-hussler-turned "pene-actor-director-cinematographer" who starred in not just one! not two! but three sex vid scandals! (as of last count, there seems to be a vicky belo-hayden kho sex vid looming in the cyber horizon!)
Katrina cries foul! Binaboy daw siya! Sabi ng mga nakapanood, baboy ka talaga! Enjoy na enjoy ka pa nga nung kasalukuyang binababoy ka! And now you're saying you were a victim???? Awww c'mon!
 Hayden pleads for understanding. Understand Huwatttt???? You came from a good family, you studied in a good school, you fuck beautiful starlets on the side and fuck a matron for a living. Not a bad state to be in. And am not complaining if i see your member. really.
 At siyempre dahil malapit na ang eleksyon, pasok si senator, ala super hero, to the rescue of the damsel. Grand standing! At talagang gawin nating national issue and sex video ha??? Complete with privilege speech sa senado. My God! You are wasting my taxes! Pasaway ka rin eh. Ayusin mo muna buhay mo, pwede ba? Yun anak mo nakabuntis ng babae hindi pinakasalan, ikaw mismo me anak ka sa labas! Yun anak mong babae bago pa lang nireregla nabuntis na! Yung asawa mo, kilalang maldita at tulad ng kapatid mong babae, ginagawang punching bag ang mga katulong sa bahay! Susmaryosep! tingnan mo muna ang basura sa loob ng bakuran mo, bago ka makiaalam sa kalat ng iba!
 and of course, why let everyone get all the publicity??? why not grab a big chunk of the limelight since you were the one who created the monster called Hayden, Vicky got the services of handsome opposition spokesman-lawyer, Atty. Adel Tamano. What for??? Wala lang. Me pera eh. And he said that if there is one victim, it is his client, Vicky. Ows??? Pano naman magiging victim yan, eh predator yan. Hayden was a simple, unassuming young, handsome, energetic doctor, doing modeling jobs on the side, seeking to have clinical experience and a stable job, and Vicky provided him that . . . and so much, much more! Condo, flashy cars, trips abroad, and lots of sex! Plus, probably free treatments, exfoliation, botox, lipo, glutha shots, etc. to make him one of the more desirable pieces of meat in the market.
 Isa lang ang masasabi ko, when it comes to men, Vicky is showing a lot of taste! Kita nyo naman ang abogado niya! Pero ang alam ko, Muslim si Atty. Tamano, so hindi siya kumakain ng baboy! Sorry ka na lang, lola.

5:52 pm - Pahiyas!
|
Just got back from Lucban, the premiere town of Quezon, where the famous Pahiyas happens.
I was away for almost a week (Monday - Sunday) to prepare, mount and later stayed on for some more post-event matters, like awarding of prizes to the winners of the float, the Pahiyas houses, etc.. Kakapagod, pero, nakakatuwa rin. We brought Robin Padilla for a big, pre-festival night! And the lucbanins loved everything about Robin. And our show, hopefully, will make sales spike for Kawasaki bikes, for a long, long time among lucbanins.

8:16 am - commemorating Holy Week in the net.
|
My days of beach-partying during Holy Week is probably over! I haven't set foot at the infamous White Beach of Puerto Gallera for the past 3 years. And the last time i was in Bora, my repulsion for the commercialization of the once pristine paradise has more than became permanent.
To my delight, the internet is abound with websites that can give your soul the much needed spiritual workout you were supposed to do during these "HOLY" of days.
One such site is Mother Teresa of Calcutta Center that features a downloadble "Way of the Cross" among other Lenten features. There are powerpoints and flash media presentations from Ash Wednesday to Palm Sunday, to Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and all the way to the MOST important feasts of Christendom, the Easter resurrection.
Of course, I also participated in the age-old Catholic ceremony at the church, what with two catholic churches in close proximity to where I am staying, the Don Bosco Parish in Makati and the Greenbelt Chapel in the more plush Ayala Malls. Filipino Catholics are known for loving the suffering Christ. Church attendance, despite all the inroads of modern thinking and lifestyle, suddenly balloons to unimaginable proportion once we hit the holy week. (This is probably rooted to the Spanish-Friars conditioning that it is all right to suffer, for Christ is closer to those who are meek and suffering.) Only Christmas time can equal that church attendance.
To many Filipinos, who still stick to traditions that is fast-changing, Maundy Thursday night is a family or community event of sort, when they visit 7 churches to pray the way of the cross, two for each church, and to pay homage to the Sacrament that is enthroned on the special altar of repose that is pompously prepared for that one evening of the year. Last night, groups of pilgrims from as far as Antipolo (east of Metro Manila) walk on foot all the way to Makati City for their Visita Iglesia. And they were a mix of young and not so young people.
Today, marks the apex of the celebration. The summit of grief. Where Christ will be crucified. In my small hometown of Malabon, our centuries-old church reenacts the crucifixion with the image of the Santo Entiero (the dead Christ) whose arms can be extended sidewise. He is "nailed" and raised on the cross (about 14 ft high) and even has a mechanism that makes the head drops foward when he dies at 3pm in the afternoon. Replete with thunder peals and special effects. And the eyes close, too! That image is an heirloom that has been with a family friend for some generations already. (Traditionally, it is passed on to the daughter who never got married).
Legends of miracles have been attributed to that image. All those pageantry are great for inculcating the young minds. Much like babes in the faith. But for those needing "more solid food" for the soul, the ceremonies and the pageantry has lost its lustre a long time ago.
Probably, that's why many Cathollics are moving to other denomination (not really religion). One that requires them to memorize lines from the bible. One that asks them to cling to the bible instead of the icons and ceremonies. A metanoia of sort. What puts me off is when they start belittling the people who are still "babes" in their faith and they attack their former beliefs.
For me, I am a Catholic, firstly because my parents had me baptized in that faith, and secondly, but more importantly now that I am grown-up, by choice. But if there is another religion i would really like to understand, it is not another branch of Christianity, but Buddhism. Most of Asia are buddhist. I want to know what I am missing out, or not, as a Catholic. And that's a real metanoia!
In the meantime, spiritual strengthening is needed.
