Taking a break from all the madness…

 

Let me introduce some time-wasters:

 

1. Empire Online’s Cryptic Canvas (contains a puzzle of 50 movies. I think they took the idea from No. 2, see below. I won’t post any pictures here since the game is in animation form, and for those who work in an office, I think the site is not blocked.)

Go here: http://www.empireonline.com/crypticcanvas/

 

2. M&m’s 50 Dark Movies (much like number 1, but with chocolate candies. I haven’t actually played much of this, probably tomorrow.

Go here: http://us.mms.com/us/dark/dark_game.jsp

 

Click the link and then click the link inside the link. Gets?

 

3. Taking a break from 1 and 2, see above, we have here the 72 bands/artists quiz. From what I acquired in the internet, there were 75 in total. And here’s the big picture (with big pun!)

(I spy Cueshe and Bodjie’s Second Law of Gravity… not)

 

4. Lastly, we have here some famous people in portrait form. And no, Hayden, Katrina, and Belo are not in this picture:

Forgive me; I’m still following the Cannes – Ebert connection. And I still can’t let it go since we have such interesting kababayans. But it is really more interesting if someone like this made a comment:

 

“3) Is he really called "Brilliante"? Is that a real name?”

 

The person who commented this is:

 

“By Gilbert Murloneycakes on May 25, 2009 11:15 AM

”

 

And Roger’s answer:

 

“Ebert: People namd Murloneycakes should not cast the first stone. I'm sure that's your real name.”

 

And the comment still continued but not as funny as the first one:

 

“By Gilbert Mulroneycakes on May 25, 2009 1:49 PM

Why, of course it's my real name, how else could I have misspelled it so well?

Just curious; either "Brilliante" is a real name, or it's a pretty desperate and apparently misguided piece of self-aggrandisement.

Ebert: He has also used the name "Dante Mendoza."”

He didn’t get it. Heh…

And I just got a scoop yesterday that this certain uber yaman individual is financing promotions and concerts.

And I’m going to leave the idea hanging.

Of the dagirl #

So, something happened yesterday about a kid and her rants and raves about the different conventions in…uhm… yeah.

 

No, I can’t really put anything in anything right now. And there were two things bothering me (well, not actually bothered, I mean I really don’t care about her gripes in life):

 

1. She loves to go to conventions. And that is plainly obvious. She loves anime, hence her Japanese remarks and kung anu-anong shit. But why is she looking for Anime in a New Worlds Convention? I mean come on, if you’re going to write some shit in the Internet, try to do some minor research before posting anything, unless if you’re going to set it in private. But wait, she did say that,

 

“Aging nerds who liked things like Star Trek, American comic books, Star Wars, Dungeons & Dragons, X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Harry Potter, sci-fi books, Lord of the Rings, Sandman & whatever ecclectic & eccentric American & western licensed clap-trap. The stuff they displayed were pretty nice though. And NO ANIME!”

 

            Well. Duh. You just said it. That’s the whole story of the New Worlds Alliance.

 

And here’s a simple logic, if there is going to be a fart convention, are you expecting people to sell farts.

 

Duh.

 

2. This person needs a gripe in reality.

“The venue (the Polytechnic University of the Philippines) itself is literally surrounded by filth & squalor. You have a squatter area, a garbage dump & a "riles ng tren" before you enter the "university grounds" itself where a stinking sewer-river is in its backyard garden pond. I suffered from a terrible bout of amoebiasis after attending my first & only visit to this so-called convention. Take my word, don't attend any convention organized by PUP, unless they change their venue!”

Iha, ang pera hindi panghabambuhay yan. Whatever you have right now should be considered a blessing. When karma strikes back, I hope you won’t get it, it will really hit your Achilles heel. And nakakaawa lang yung naging pagpapalaki sa iyo ng magulang mo if you don’t see the reality around you.

3.      And lastly, it seems that she is just looking for attention. A blog with one entry only… Right.

--=+=--

O siya, tapos na ang drama. Pinagtanggol ko lang ang NWA. Oh yeah, baka kung ano pang chuvaklaan ang masabi sa kin, the site is http://irenecullen.multiply.com

Omaygad!!! Cullen!!! Ugh…

--=+=--

I’m thankful that I’m juvenile myself, imagine patulan ko ba naman ito… hahaha. Yan ang walang magawa.

Of the moh-HK #

It looks like this won’t end…

 

For two weeks pa siguro.

 

The HK scandal got weirder (?) or more interesting as more people are starting to say their two or feetee-cent worth.

 

First was the mom, I missed the interview. And I was so sad when this happened. O di ba naman, from what I heard the nanay daw was kind of… uhm… different.

 

She was blaming Cogie Domingo (tama ba?) and that Lolit Solis. So, why not blame her for bringing up such incredulous individual? Diba, as a parent you have to take responsibility kahit papano, and despite the son’s mature age, to do the right moral thing.

 

But apparently, it is the other way around.

 

Nice.

 

Secondly (hehe), there’s the blind as hell belo who, as I may partially quote, “Hayden is a very nice person. He was brought up good kaya nga siya nag-doctor and he committed this thing for the first time, as people commit mistakes (or somekindalikethat) too.”

 

Uh, right.

 

With people like these, who needs the… I’m lost with anything here actually so I just have to give a lame punchline… immoral club.

 

**BAM**

 

No really, that was really lame.

 

--=+=--

 

And offish, we’ve started a new generation of jokes…

 

-         Bakit walang HK – Mahal scandal? It’s time to see some real action.

-         Bakit walang HK - Aling Dionisia scandal? I think iniwan na ni Aling Dionisia yung boyfriend niya at gusto niyang magpa-belo na daw.

 

--=+=--

 

So, here’s a checklist of the HK scandals, in case you’re still lost in the confusion:

1. Careless Whisper video. (come on, you don’t know this? They’re going to show the Careless Whisper theatre version in pub… hehe… public na.)
2. Beautiful Girl video (the one where Katrina went patweetums. And I’m pretty sure the song was Beautiful Girl.)
3. The one with Katrina.
4. The one with the kaawa-awang ex.
5. The one with the Brazilian Model.

 

And, we really do have to start a petition for the one with the artista (as stated by Belo) and the one with Belo herself.

 

That makes it 5 triple X videos and we’re still waiting for the rest of the season, 35 episodes are still missing.

 

Are they going to do webcasts too ala The Office?

Or an Internet based movie (simple lang ito, use a laptop with a webcam instead of a real video camera) ala Dr. Horrible’s?

 

--=+=--

 

Should I make a promise to make this the last HK post? Uhm… c’mon, I’m still banking on the brouhaha.

 

-         Did you know that the Book Ban was lifted?

-         Did you know that some Pinoy won in Cannes?

-         Did you know that there are a minimum of two Swine Flu case(s) in our country?

-         Did you know that there are four teams left in the NBA playoffs?

-         Did you know that the pretty boy singer of The Monkees is in town?

-         Did you know that the Nokor’s launched a nuclear weapon the other day?

-         And did you know that Leno is leaving and Conan is back?

 

Oh yeah, that makes two HK stories this week pala. Hayden and the one that came from Hong Kong… wala lang.

Of the Butch #

So, who’s having the last laugh?

 

Just a few days or weeks ago an article came out from one of the “most respected” movie reviewers of all time, Roger Ebert with:

 

http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2009/05/what_were_they_thinking_of.html

 

He sites in that blog post of his that Kinatay is probably one of the worst movies ever shown in Cannes.

 

Hence the title of the blog, “What were they thinking of?”

 

(sir, we don’t end sentences with a preposition… anyhoo…)

 

Well, actually it doesn’t end there. Since we have been liberated from the angsty Japanese, and not really from the American dream, we found demo-crazy (it is democracy, fyi) in the Internet. Filipinos have been fond of posting comments and believe me, we love posting comments, coz I did post one in that blog.

 

Since colonial mentality exists with us Filipinos, you would probably read apologies and shit in that blog site. Apologizing to Mr. Ebert on why Kinatay was included in Cannes and some other shit.

 

And gladly, there are other people who’ll defend our own red, white, and blue plus yellow.

 

It seems we really need to strengthen our nationalism, eh?

 

(is ‘eh’ a preposition?)

 

As I’ve written there, it is always up to us, as viewers, to judge a movie or film. Reviews will always be subjective whether you are highly-praised or not.

 

Moving on…

 

And lo and behold, the Philippines got an award. We got a Best Director and that puts Brillante Mendoza in the same position as Joel Cohen, Wong Kar-Wai, P.T. Anderson, and David Lynch who all won in the same category.

 

There were “favorites” that didn’t win such as Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds and Daniels’ Precious. Palme d’or went to The White Ribbon and Un Certain Regard went to Dogtooth.

 

Congratulations to Brillante!!!

 

(and Ebert is not a factor… hehehe.)

 

--=+=--

 

Oh yeah, and lookie here:

 

http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2009/05/cannes_10_and_at_last_the_winn.html

 

“The 2009 feature film jury awarded some reasonable prizes, and then lost its mind. In my opinion the Mendoza film "Kinatay" deserved no award, and Le Film Francais panel agreed with me ("pas d tout"). But why in heaven's name would you give him the award for best direction? The second half of his film is an illustration of directorial monomania--a willingness to drive audiences from the theater not so much by the violence (rape, beheading, vivisection) but by the directorial style itself. You want to depict human atrocity, look to the von Trier.”

 

Hehehe… Read the rest of the article, this guy just can’t move on…

This is the right time to release all videos…

 

Mr. Hayden Kho, please take out all the videos from your computer.

 

Burn it in a disc.

Or upload it in youtube.

Or even broadcast it on national TV.

 

I know, and all of those concerned with the most important issue that is happening in our country today, that we have to watch it.

 

Please please please…

 

Show us the Vicky Belo – Hayden Kho scandal.

 

--=+=--

 

Come on.

 

Everyone needs to laugh once in a while.

 

Actually, the careless whisper and the second one, the one where Katrina’s holding two bright balls (go figure), are pretty funny…

 

Reality is really funny…

And brain-empty artistas…

And narcissistic doctors…

And of course, there’s the idea of chauvinism regarding the recent scandal (nako… sawa na ko sa lecheng mga scandal na yan, enough already). But as I was baybay-ing along Cubao yesterday I saw this sign:

 

“ANG MAGTAPON NG BASURA, PUPUTULIN ANG TITI!”

 

And I just said, “What the fuck?”

 

That is unfair to the male population.

 

There are two points in this sign. One, women can throw garbage in that area and two, well, discrimination…

 

And that’s all I can argue for now.

Of the ish #

Wow.

 

I am still awake at this ungodly hour.

 

With Sweeney Todd (that I’ve seen for a million times errr thousand times) at the background (Depp version), I’m trying to compose myself so that I won’t be a bitch tomorrow.

 

I’m still trying to take away all the non-nice things for a few of my “workmates”. Here’s the thing, I’m planning to give them an advanced Christmas gift; a big box of responsibility, a little bit of sensitivity, or a case of maturity.

 

I’m not saying I’m this omniscient person because I just said those things. It is just that these kids don’t know that they are starting to make headaches of people around them and if I remember it exactly, I did made an email to one of this uhm… person (?) and look where this person is right now.

 

He made fun of my letter by reading it aloud in front of the other workmates putting me in a bad light.

 

Apparently, this person needs the B word too (oh, I don’t need to say that word).

 

I’m not concerned to these people; I’m just concerned with two things, my work and those people who are concerned with these few people.

 

I just missed those times when people cared…

 

The workplace is becoming a babysitter-place.

 

--=+=--

 

I’m loving the NBA.

 

It feels like this league has come between the WWE and the UFC.

 

Miss Toyota-Crispa games? Not anymore…

 

--=+=--

 

And about Pacquaio’s plan to run for congress.

 

Right.

 

I have a few questions.

 

Is he really running for congress? Congressmen pass bills, what is he going to create?

 

In case he wins for congress and all his money from boxing goes to the “people”, where would he get the money after?

 

Did you feel his win in terms of “Manny winning for the Filipino people”?

 

I was trying to comprehend on why he has all these wealth and I wasn’t able to get news if he helped people in General Santos, say the time when he started to win big bucks.

 

Oh, just some ideas running inside my head.

 

--=+=--

 

I’m sorry. I am much more excited with Angels and Demons rather than Star Trek.

 

I have this thing about starting things and I’m sure I haven’t seen the original Star Trek series or even most of the movies (I’ve only seen one, the one before this one). And I can’t even remember the plot or the storyline of that movie.

 

Well, I will still watch Star Trek because people are saying it is good.

 

And John Cho and Simon Pegg is in that movie… so, why not chocnat.

Running later.

Senseless is purely me.

 

Sensefull is like suspenseful but not really.

 

--=+=--

 

So, senselessness came and I thought a ting or thing or two while walking across Hobby Road.

 

This swine flu, you know the one with the flying pigs or pigs that started to fly, is still in me. I mean the idea of it exists.

 

As a fail joke of “Anong sakit ang makukuha mo sa lasenggo” having an answer of wine flu doesn’t really create an impact.

 

Much more on what I would probably write… below.

 

Like this.

 

Now, if you have been aware with the food pigs eat here in the Philippines you’d probably notice that they are practically cannibals or they eat their own without even knowing it.

 

You know… Rice pig or kaning baboy.

 

Is it possible that these pigs got sick by eating themselves?

 

The argument still remains as an argument since the idea of human cannibals is well… different.

 

You see, human cannibals aren’t brought in hospitals for arguments sakes. I mean, I can’t even tell you right now if there are sick human cannibals. But I know that they are still there and since they eat the human flesh then, probably, they are still healthy giving the idea of pigs eating pigs and creating the swine flu is just pure hullabaloo.

 

Now, I have a question, if you throw your tea (the one that you are drinking) or spill it in a tea plant, would you say that that is a cannibalteaism?

 

--=+=-

 

If I remember it correctly, there’s this episode of the X-files regarding this, I just don’t remember how the episode ended.

 

Only the chupacabra episode is the most memorable X-files episode for me. Even if that episode is just meh.

Last week naman to nagawa…

 

--=+=--

 

Ako’y mahilig sa panonood at pagsali sa mga contests (like duh, obvious ba). Iba kasi ang high na nakukuha dun. Medyo papansin lang talaga ang dating kung titingnan mo sa ibang anggulo pero syempre ang punto mo dun yung pera… yung datung… yung tapwe (ay small time)… yung moolah.

 

Nandun na din syempre yung pagsikat mo ng labing-limang minuto pero dedma na lang yun talaga, pera lang talaga minsan ang focus mo kasi yun naman talaga ang ginawa mo kaya ka sumali.

 

Maaaring yung experience din, pero darating kasi yung punto na malamang maadik ka kung nagustuhan mo at nabagayan sa yo yung laro. Ika nga nila, professional contestant.

 

Kaya kung ililipat mo sa mga malulupit na channels ngayon ang channel (oo nga, yung channel na hindi pabango), marami kang makikitang mga palaro sa tv.

 

At sorry naman, napahaba ang intro, dulot lang nito ang oras na napakarami ngayon para sa akin sa opisina.

 

--=+=--

 

Ako ay lubos na nagpapasalamat at natapos na din yata ang churvahan ni Tony Boy at ni Gretchen. Napanood niyo ba yung gameshow niya sa channel 5? Arudyosko, ang sakit panoorin. Maaaring bago kasi siya sa aking pananaw, pero ano ba naman yung mga trivia type of questions na ibabato na:

 

“ano ang masarap na luto ng pansit?”

 

At gagawin siyang ala-family feud na galing dun sa audience. Right.

 

Ok na nga yung mga shows ng five ngayon, ok na. Sumabit pa dun.

 

Buti na lang papalitan na to-its ni bossing.

 

--=+=--

 

At dahil ako ay natengga sa bahay ng ilang araw, napanood ko din syempre ang reformatting ng Game Ka Na Ba. Hindi na siya tulad ng dati na solo flight ang laro. Medyo team game na siya ng tatlong tao.

 

Tatlong tao mga kapatid sa pananampalataya.

 

Medyo hindi ko nasimulan pa din, hanggang ngayon, kung paano nabuo yung two teams of three na nagbabakbakan at nagpapatigasan… uhm… nagpapagalingan ng dunong sa isa’t isa.

 

When I say isa’t isa, yung two teams yung nagtatalo.

 

Medyo maganda naman ang takbo ng mga tanong, as usual, at yung game play ok lang din naman.

 

Kailangan ko pang panoorin ulit para pumasok sa utak ko yung takbo ng laro.

 

Medyo maganda din nga pala ang style nung game, kasi teamwork talaga ang usapan dito. Mauuso talaga ang salitang “blame” dito kasi malaki yung pagkakataon na sumabit yung kasama mo, kaya dapat kilala niyo din yung isa’t isa or else.

 

Lumiit nga lang ang jackpot prize, maghahati ang tatlong tao sa dalawang milyong piso.

 

--=+=--

 

May pausong bingo naman sa channel 2. Host ngayon dun si Kris Aquino.

 

Right.

 

Hindi ko alam kung yun na talaga yung gameplay niya, bale bingo type of game siya. Tapos may artistahin na mag-iisip kung odd o even yung bingo number. Pag tama siya, mauubos yung nine balls dun sa video board.

 

Ano? May nine-ball? Bilyar bigla?

 

Ewan ko ba kung paano nila na-connect yung bilyar dun sa laro. Kung sino man ang nag-isip nun parang umikot lang sa barangay at pinag-isipan. “Aba aba! Sikat ang bilyar at bingo sa mga barangay. Dish gibs me an idea.”

 

Kulang na lang basketball.

 

Hindi ko na talaga tinapos yung show ni Kris, nakakaasiwa na din naman kasi siya tsaka bakit ako manonood ng palabas na halos nakikita ko naman araw-araw.

 

Wash the point?

 

Syempre, as intellectual viewers (yihee), we always crave for something new. Ganun talaga. Create a new idea for us that we will enjoy. Hindi siya madali pero ganun talaga.

 

Parang pagkain ng alimango.

 

--=+=--

 

Kaya nilipat ko na lang sa channel 7 yung palabas. Aba aba ang saya nung palabas sa siyete ngayon. Kung pamilyar kayo sa mga Asian gameshows na napapalabas sa Ellen, naisama dun yung moving wall (basta, parang ganun).

 

May butas yung wall na hugis tao, at gagayahin ngayon nung taong yun yung hugis. Pag hindi niya nagaya ng maayos, maaaring matulak siya sa kumukulong asido…

 

Medyo boring nga lang yung sa siyete kung yun ang mapapanood mo araw-araw. Naman di ba, limang araw na may gumagalaw na wall.

 

Right.

 

Ito lang ang maliit kung suggestion sa kanila. Bakit hindi pa nila kunin yung mga idea ng mga adeek na mga Hapon at iba-ibahin nila sa pang-araw araw.

 

Mabilis magsawa ang tao kung halos pare-pareho ang nangyayari.

Ayun. Churva lang.

Of the fall #

Made two weeks ago… take two.

 

--=+=--

 

Random stuffed crusts…

 

So, it is officially official… A lot of people miss Conan on television.

 

I just don’t know why Jimmy is not working as of the moment. I know, if I remembered it correctly, that he cliqued with the Mtv people. (though I can’t remember him much on SNL, ewan ko lang kung bakit.)

 

He is more of a “bungisngis” interviewer. If you’re going to really watch his interviews with his guests, you’d say that “a lot of things lacking” during each interview.

 

That’s why they end up doing some cheap things in the show. Like perhaps playing Air Hockey or Wii with the guests is not enough.

 

“Kulang sa punchline.”

 

And as I’ve said, he is too much “bungisngis”. A good comedian does not have to laugh at all the jokes. We all know you’re trying to make a joke and give the audience a chance to understand the punchline first (if you are watching David, Jay, or Conan you’d know what I’m driving into. Kahit wala akong car.)

 

Placing a white sidekick that does not play instruments is sucky. It would be nice if he’ll be able to do some sidekick moments with one of the members of the roots, probably that drummer guy. The idea is not effective. Look at Max Weinberg or the bald guy from Canada or the African-american guy, they are effective and I don’t know why.

 

Are the jokes on that show being monitored in a way that the punchlines would be surely funny? It feels like that the writers have a “bahala na” attitude.

 

(kawawa naman si Jimmy, wala na nga siyang impact, wala pang impact ang mga jokes niya.)

 

Lastly, there are sketches there that need a lot of remodeling (kasi, hindi ko na alam ang right word for this).

 

There was this sketch where there was this lady who creates pies and there was a pie sniffer around who sniffs all the smell of the pie. And that’s it.

 

I was the one who was aching to watch this sketch, as the cringing effect was slowly creeping in throughout my body. (ang haba kasi nung sketch na yun. They should’ve at least cut the crap.

 

--=+=--

 

But you have to optimistic in a way too…

 

The show is not one hundred percent bad (mga 90 percent lang). There are a few things in there that makes the show more interesting.

 

There is a part where the audience shares the same things at the same time. And there is a part where the Roots would sing and invent lyrics at the same time.

 

But, as Conan and his group would probably say, give the show a break. It had been running for two months only and there might be hope… maybe years from now.

 

--=+=--

 

Dyosko, and that bit with Saved by the Bell suck. Hello, are they really keen on bringing back the characters from that show. Napakababaw. Wala lang.

 

Ibalik na lang nila yung lahat ng members ng movie na Stand By Me, makiki-reunion yung yumaong Phoenix.

 

At si Screech lang naman kasi yung importante sa show na yun.

Aside from the “your usual tv shows”, I also happen to watch “not so interesting shows” occasionally. (actually, this is not really interesting. This is more of a sharing-in-the-city. Much like what we’re doing most of the time in the Internet where we love to share things. As personal growth is more of globally personal nowadays)

 

Now, that’s nonsense.

 

Anyway, as I’ve stated, shows like these doesn’t really need to be watched as a whole. You don’t need to buy the whole series because you love to watch it. But you just have to sit down and catch it whenever you see it on screen.

 

And this is more of a subjective approach. As I have really been absent with the tv series world for the past three years already…

 

--=+=--

 

= Beauty and the Geek =

 

With the recent events that lead to geeks ruling the world, we might as well watch them on television. Silly as it may seem, the show gives us pairings of “beautiful” people with “intelligent” people and having weekly contests opposite per contestant.

 

The intelligent needs to learn fashion, courting, and being beautiful while the beautiful needs to learn science in general.

 

If there were a site named ‘Tunay Na Lalaki’ then the geeks would surely fail with ‘Tunay Na Geek’.

 

-         Ang tunay na geek walang pakialam sa kanyang kaanyuan.

 

The list will go on (c’mon sing with me ala Celine Dion) but that will require a new entry.

= Randy Jackson Presents America’s Best Dance Crew =

 

The Robot and The Butterfly being the only dance moves that I seriously know of (meaning: I don’t know how to dance), this is a good show to watch if you’re fond of You Got Served, Honey, and Pinoy movies in General.

 

I was able to catch an episode in the middle of the season where the Jabba Wookies did an amazing show and another one where they did a face off with the Asians and all I could say for that Asian group is…

 

Is it really usual for the defeated group to go Full Monty when they leave the stage? The girls of that group literally took of their jackets leaving the brassiere, white sports bra, and red pek-pek shorts (well, it was more of those 80’s shorts. See PBA in the 80’s. ‘nuff said.)

 

And I swear there were Pinoys in that show.

Of the la-lang #

Five days na ang nakalipas pero ngayon pa lang ako magre-react about this.

 

Right.

 

Eherm… I mean left hook.

 

It had been oh-so-awesome not just for Manny but for our country for representing not just himself but the whole Filipino population.

 

As you’ll all say, we are proud to be Pinoys.

 

So, I immediately bought a copy of Time, The World’s Most Influential People issue.

 

Manny is included in the top 100 (woohoo) along with Joaquin Guzman, a druglord and Zac Efron, a supot actor.

 

He’s not supot! And how did you know that this guy is supot? Anywayyy…

 

Manny’s one page article, as opposed to Oprah Winfrey and Sarah Palin sharing one page, made by Lennox Lewis is quite interesting:

 

“…I can surely see Manny becoming the Philippine President one day.”

 

Right.

 

If you’re familiar where Manny came from, his roots should be ‘from General Santos’ and if you’ve listened to the bout last Sunday, it was kind of different.

 

A bashing boxer budding to be a politician…

 

Not a nice thing to hear noh? B is not for a politician.

 

Wait, pwede pala ang Barangay Captain.

 

Though, Lewis made bawi by saying:

 

“In fact, he already ran for Congress in the Philippines but lost, in part because voters thought he could do more for the country as an inspirational champion boxer. I agree with the Filipino people…”

 

Ayun, binawi naman pala.

 

And I agree to Lewis dun sa bawi niya.

 

Look what Jaworski gave us when he won for office. Or even Freddie Webb.

 

And if the trend continues, are we expecting Onyok, Donaire, or Viloria as politicians?

 

Right.

 

--=+=--

 

It is quite unfair for Manny too since someone is probably manipulating why he “wants” to be a politician.

 

E hindi naman sila ang nakikipag-basagan ng mukha para lang kumita ng limpak limpak na salapi and imagine the dollar-peso exchange rate decrease if ever Manny chooses to change those dollars to our currency.

 

Para siyang malupet na OFW niyan.

 

--=+=--

 

And here’s another, if you wanna make yabang be sure that you, at least, would have a high percentage of winning, or at least, extend the bout to round 12.

 

Here’s a tip, don’t fight the Mayweathers.

 

Gagawa lang ng pera yan.

 

--=+=--

 

And of course, Martin Martin Martin.

 

I have a simple hypothetical question, “Pag ikaw ba sinabihan na wag babaguhin yung kanta ng isang renowned artist tulad ni Ryan Cayabyab, makikinig ka ba?”

 

And bakit ba hanggang ngayon wala pa din nagsasabi kay Martin na panget yung last note niya.

 

He’s not in American Idol.

 

He should’ve done that for the country. The concept of a National Anthem is to make all the people under that country, sing with you, and not sing on your own.

 

Ako, lumaki ako, from elementary to high school singing that song every morning as a school requirement. Ang hindi ko sure kasi kung dito ba talaga lumaki si Martin sa Pinas.

 

We are losing our history fast. We are losing our identities.

 

We are not Americans, we are Filipinos, and we should not compare ourselves to them. Kahit na nag-iingles ako.

 

And ignorance of the law is not an excuse and whoever made sabit before regarding our national anthem then they should pay too.

 

Pakanta kasi kayo ng pakanta sa mga sikat na artists e.

--=+=--

 

He’s Just Not Into You (or He’s Not Just Into You, I know I know the title is magulo.)

Summary: It is about the lives of people who give the story of relationships, whatnots, and kung anu-anong shit. Some ended up good and some, well, ended up alone.

Why you have to watch it: The story can really relate to our times despite the different setting (it is up to you, if you would adjust their story to yours.) And of course, the all-stellar cast that includes Justin Long and that girl who was in Mona Lisa Smile and Win A Date With Tad Hamilton. And yeah, there are other sikat na artistas too. You know them if you see them, I know you do.

Why not: Ang Tunay Na Lalaki hindi nanonood ng chick flick.

 

Sleuth

Summary: This is a story of a mayamang millionaire who created something “vicious” against a hairdresser who is the churva of this millionaire’s ex-wife. The millionaire is kinda jealous of the situation, that’s why he kinda revenged it all with hairdresser.

Why you have to watch it: Thank God I was able to catch the original version, the one where the millionaire was Lawrence Olivier, as the remade with Jude Law sucked big time. This is one of the few movies where you’ll see Michael Caine as kawawa. Good acting. Promise.

Why not: The movie is quite long. If you want the quick version then I suggest you watch the remade that was out last year.

 

The Way We Were

Summary: A love affair between two different people. It stars Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford White errr yeah, another punchline.

Why you have to watch it: If you are a Barbra fan then this is all for you. It is quite old but it is timeless and don’t you love sad semi-endings?

Why not: Inuulit ko, Ang Tunay Na Lalaki hindi nanonood ng chick flick.

 

Insiang

Summary: Hilda Koronel (tama ba?) stars in this drama about the pains of a pretty woman living in the slums.

Why you have to watch it: I don’t know. If you love watching hardcore drama and you still want to see the young Rex Cortez then be my guest. Seriously, this is depressing.

Why not: As I’ve said, the movie was depressing.

 

Oro, Plata, Mata

Summary: The story of a family who suffered and endured the pains of life before, during, and after the Japanese era.

Why you have to watch it: The clothes and the setting they are in; The sex scene inside the shoe; The finger-cutting scene; The blow the shotgun on your wife scene; The part where they had to leave the house with matching fire on the background; Mitch Valdez’s breasts with matching sex talk with Cherie Gil; The Mah-jong scene, post bullied by the guerillas; The death of the guerillas scene featuring the undead-able bidas; The brain-popping scene; and the post-Japanese occupation scene where they went back to their usual selves. Sabi nga nung isa dun, “Ang digmaan talaga ang nagpapabago sa isang tao.”

Why not: Ronnie Lazaro’s penis.
