Shameless plugging but Beauty and the bible is on Saturday, November 21 @ the SM Megamall Cinema 7, with shows at 3pm and 7pm.

I am currently watching this Taiwanese series entitled, Black & White, starring Vic Zhou and Mark Zao. Its basic plot is about 2 crime investigators with 2 different personalities,  who find themselves teamed up to solve a big time drug related case. Vic Zhou (whom we fondly call Zai Zai) plays Chen Zai Tian, a brilliant and suave police from the North district department. He was forced to transfer to another district his boss found out that he slept with her daughter. Mark Zao is Wu Xing Ziong from the South district police department who is about to crack one of the biggest drug cases he handled.

When I was still in school, the only months I anticipate are March, April and May ---yep, summer! I can still remember the feeling, staying up late, waking up late...Tons and tons of taho and dirty ice and sampaloc (tamarind) candy. That is exactly the feeling I had when I watched 500 Days of Summer.

Freaky or what? JGL is the less mapangang version hehe.

Zooey Deschanel plays the lovely Summer Finn. She rocks the vintage look, totally pawns it. Her big green eyes looked, well, engorged. Very cute.

Happy Monday everyone! I just wanted to promote this musical entitled, "Beauty and the Bible". It is written by one of my co-CCFer, Reev Robledo. The performers are from different church organizations and the proceeds of this event will go to the Backstreet kids Ministry.



For ticket inquiries, just post a comment here. Thank you everyone!

My brother, Garding, left the coop yesterday morning to be with his girlfriend Lulubelle in Bicol to start anew. I dunno why it has to be there and why I'm feeling so sad about it but I am.



Since most of my guy friends are usually unavailable, he is the one I get to talk to the most. He has this thing with Japan and how he love everything about the country especially the Yamaha bikes, animes, mangas and so on and so forth. Even F4 's Vic Zhou and Jay Chou became his idols because of Japanese references of some sort from Mars and Initial D.

A few months back, he told me that he will follow Lulubelle to Bicol because he wants to look for a job there.

Me: Why Bicol?
Garding: Because Lulubelle is there.
Me: Can't she stay here instead? Relocate here in Manila?
Garding: Her work is there. She doesn't want to leave.
Me: What will you do in Bicol?
Garding: I don't know yet.
Me: Do you know how to speak the dialect?
Garding: No.
Me: Do you have a job waiting for you there?
Garding: None.
Me: Oh boy....

I know I'm over reacting about this. He is 27 for crying out loud, he's a grown man. He knows what to do. I can't help it. I'm the noona. I'm a bit concerned about his welfare. He sent me a text message saying he is okay and that he is with Lulubelle already.

Hayyy, let's just hope (and pray) for the best and see what happens in 3 months.

I am a Gleek. Proud of it. This is my 2nd entry about the show and I dunno when it will end. One thing's for sure, I'm uber-hooked! I'm nursing my sore eyes with episodes 4 & 5 and the music...And I'm totally crushing on, Puck or Noah Puckerman, that train wreck. Why do I always gravitate towards the bad boys?


Mark Salling as Puck

He looks like Robbie Williams (which is so creepy because I was reading a book that referenced to Robbie Williams and now here is Puck,hehe).

And then of course, there's the notorious cheerleading coach, Sue Sylvester and her one-liner bombs. If in other highschool TV dramedies, only students bully other students, in Glee,  teachers, specially popular ones like Sue, bully other teachers. Jane Lynch is crazy-funny!!!



Episode 2: Showmance

Sue Sylvester: I just blasted my hammies.
Will Schuester: Oh.
Sue Sylvester: Iron tablet? Keeps your strength up while you're menstruating.
Will Schuester: I don't menstruate.
Sue Sylvester: Yeah? Neither do I.

Episode 3: Acafellas

Sue Sylvester: This is what we call a total disaster ladies. I'm going to ask you to smell your armpits. That's the smell of failure and it's stinking up my office. I'm revoking your tanning privileges for the rest of the semester.

Episode 5:  The Rhodes Not Taken

Sue Sylvester: When Sandy said that he wanted to write himself in as Cleopatra, I was aroused, then furious.

She is like Will & Grace's Karen Walker: a walking, breathing, political incorrectness in a track suit. This character gots balls the size of Texas. You have to watch her!


Lastly, there is little ol' Kurt Hummel (played by Chris Colfer). His "audition" as a kicker for the football team of McKinley High made me sit up and take notice. He can give Beyonce a run for her money. All the single ladies, now put your hands up!



Gosh, sure hope I get to catch the next few episodes of Glee. Can't wait! In the meantime, I will have do away with the past episodes hehe.

Youngbae in Where u at MV.

Can somebody tell me how this guy get so smoldering? I mean really. Three years ago he was this shy, quiet type who just sat in the corner and smiled his eyes out. Now look at him. He generates enough energy to light up a small island.

The 2 guys with him in the vid, I assume, are Shaun Evaristo and Lyle Beniga. Awesome job guys!!! Love what you've done to the choreo, Not much mish mash but the dancing is really to die for!

Can't wait for the single to come out. At the end of the vid, you will hear a teaser on YB's next track,"Wedding dress". WAHHHHHHHH!!!

I love watching TV series and every time my schedule permits it, I do marathons of episodes per season. I know I am lagging from Grey's Anatomy and Ugly Betty, so why torture over indulge myself with a new one?

Why not?

According to Fox, Glee about an  optimistic teacher, WILL SCHUESTER (Matthew Morrison), who - against all odds and a malicious cheerleading coach - attempts to save McKinley High's Glee Club from obscurity, while helping a group of aspiring underdogs realize their true star potential.

No, don't even try to compare it to High school musical, because it's totally different. In Glee, not only the students bully other students. The popular teachers also bully their co-teachers. Sometimes, it borderlines ridiculous, but it is still fun to watch.

Hehe, finally have internet connection at home. Not really for downloading but more for browsing and what not. I'm glad I have net here. With flood water still in some parts of the village, I don't want waddling in the water. I heard a neighbor seeing 2 ginormous snakes a few blocks away. Yikes!

And more importantly, praise God for sparing us from more rain water. I almost had panic attacks when I saw all the cloud composition outside this weekend. It looked like it could eat me. I dare not look up the sky.

To say that we have "survived" a horrific weekend is an understatement. I live in the area where typhoon Ondoy badly hit (Cainta) but thank God, my family  and pets are still well and alive, and our house and other properties are still intact. It's just unfortunate that a big number of people, some of my closest friends included, do not share my sentiment. So many lost their families, pets and homes and my heart goes out to them. I cry every time I watch the news about what's happening. Most of these places are 10-15 minutes away from my house.

Let's do what we can to help one another and stop pointing fingers. At this point, we should realize that the universe doesn't revolve around us. Death, I realize, is the greatest equalizer. Life is to short to be friggin' selfish all the time.

And oh, the only reason I got to work, is because I hitched a ride  on a sanitation truck. In tagalog, trak ng basura. I'm not kidding. I was with a truckload of people, waiting to go out of the village, being stranded there for 3 days, not knowing if we would be able to go out or not.

Anyway, please pray that those 2 tropical depressions building up will not hit the Philippines in the next few days.

.... I worked for a Korean publishing company (which has an office here in the Philippines). They made English study books/guides for Korean kids. It seems like it was light years ago but I had a great time there. I never thought anything would come out of it but it did.



I got published. WOW! I mean my work got published. Will you look at that? Thank you so much teacher_meg for putting this up on Facebook. It made me feel better. I've been having a hell week.

I went to see Kimmy Dora, kambal sa kiyeme last Saturday withxiao_tian_jelly , glovezz and jhing_tearjerky . If you haven't seen it yet and think that I will spare you from the spoilers, well, you better skip this entry altogether because this will be full of it, you better ring the alarm, although I will be using the LJ-cut, so don't worry. More spoiler alerts, more fun!

( The business is very good, the office is very big and the bank is very niceeeee... )


To the cast, crew and to everyone who made this movie possible, a HUGE congratulations are in order!!! You deserve every penny and every cackle that this film has gotten. The Philippines DEFINITELY need more movies like this. Until the next one. Lastly, when will you release this on DVD? I have to have a copy. :D

I got this from blade012 a few weeks back and thought it was hilarious and I just wanted to share to you guys how easy it is to sing Total eclipse of the Heart.




There is a videoke master in all of us ^_^.

It sounds like Bob Marley meets John Coltrane. I love it... So much so that I have it on instant replay on my office computer, mobile and home PC. Whoever decided to make this kind of spin to the song, made a very good call, He/she deserves a raise Yang sajjang-nim. If it's President Yang's suggestion, well, you deserve a good pat on the back, hehehe...

The ladies of 2NE1 looked every inch of a woman, even Minzy, who we know is all is just 15 years old. They certainly up-ed the ante, I can tell you that much. I'm really happy for them. No wonder producers like Teddy and Kush are wrecking their brains out to make songs for the girls.


Thanks to CodeMonmonSeason3 of youtube.com for the video.

Makes you wanna pack up your things and head for the beach.

One of my favorite episodes of the YG Mnet Live TV, Gdragon's Heartbreaker perf and birthday celebration.


Ji yong, you are super loved by the entire YG Family. Even his friends, with some becoming stylists for 2NE1, were there at the party.

With all this love and support, I hope people would stop pitting GD against Young Bae because of their solo efforts. They are 2 different individuals and 2 different characters. There is just no basis for comparison.

In the succeeding episodes, GD opens his gifts and spreads good cheers. Then it switches to 2NE1 TV and with the infamous Michelle Madrigal singing Nobody by the Wonder girls after seeing Sandy (but they edited it out). In episode 3, Sandara remarks "Lola masakit tiyan ko!". I think "Lola" here came from the gay lingo or slang,"Lola mo".

And oh my, even Joseph Bitangcol makes an appearance.

I enjoyed it.

What do you do when your "son" becomes your "daughter"? I say this with love only because this new "look" made Jiyong look like a beautiful gorgeous lady.

GD, what the heck is going on?!

Thanks to
