Note: This post has the half-hearted consent of Ms. Viralysa Ifurung. My convincing prowess needs more polishing.

I’m throwing my objectivity as a sports writer out the window for this post. My high-school-like fandom on Rachel Ann Daquis has been officially renewed today thanks to an out-of-nowhere brain wave about the Shakey’s V-League. She had ( Read more... )

Walang-wala sina Jessica Alfaro, Clarissa Ocampo, at Jun Lozada kay Pokwang. Siya na ang pinakasikat na witness sa kasaysayan. Dapat grand entrance si Pokwang sa korte. Dapat magpabuhat siya sa mga maskuladong lalaki na naka-fit na itim na sando.

Sana i-televise ‘yung mga hearing. Gusto ko kasing tindi ng coverage sa ZTE scandal. Mas ok kung mas ( Read more... )

Elisha, even if I see you everyday in my computer desktop, I promise I will still see your newest feature film with much vigor and eagerness. Not to mention, with overflowing testosterone.

I don’t care if this remake will stink and totally deviate from the original Korean flick. As long as Elisha Cuthbert’s super-duper-mega-to-the-nth-power-period- ( Read more... )

Medyo showbiz ’to.

Hindi ko sinasadyang makanood ng Lobo kamakailan at napansin ko muli ang ’di mapantayang originality ng mga palabas ng Pinoy. 'Yung mga palabas na adik nating tinatawag na teleserye, fantaserye, sineserye, dramaserye, comedyserye, horrorserye, romantic-comedyserye, o kung ano pa mang genre na kinakabitan ng mga Pinoy ng ”serye” ( Read more... )

Just type “Persepolis (film)” in Wikipedia if you want more comprehensive pieces of information about the movie.

Animated films don’t appeal much to me, but this is definitely a magnificent exception. The animation may not be that mind-blowing compared to all those Disney flicks, but the story exceedingly made up for it. The Jury Prize award in ( Read more... )

Flashback to 2006.

Text ko sa nanay ko: “Ma, hindi po ako uwi after class. Overnight po ako sa Varsi, may tatapusin pa kami.”

Reply ng nanay ko: “Nag-overnight ka na nung isang araw ah. Magpapalit ka na kaya ng address.”

Kahit alam kong pabiro lang ang reply ng aking motherdear, mayroon pa rin itong katiting na bahid ng ironic na katotohanan. Talagang ( Read more... )

Sa wakas, pagkatapos ng labingdalawang dekada, available na ang ikatlong isyu ng KANTO (Tag-ulan issue). Tulad ng mga naunang isyu, P30 lang ito. Murang-mura. Kayang-kaya. Apordabol na apordabol. Tulad ng mga naunang isyu, siksik sa mga informative at (medyo) nakakatawang sulatin na mainam basahin-umuulan man o hindi. Saktung-sakto sa mga ( Read more... )

Hollywood has Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, and Lindsay Lohan and the rehabilitation officer. But unbeknownst to most people, the NBA also has its fair share of star-studded, larger-than-life pairings. In case you’ve forgotten, basketball players don’t really encounter problems wooing women-beautiful and hot women at ( Read more... )

Year 2007 was a departure area. Year 2007 will be untidily imprinted in my personal history book as the year when some of my closest friends left, whether they approved of it or not.

I’ve said it before, if there’s one thing I really suck at, it’s saying goodbye. I suck at saying goodbye like how Michael Jackson sucks at keeping sane. I suck at ( Read more... )

What’s with people having their pictures taken with donuts? Is there something about donuts that enhances one's physical features? It has become a Filipino trend without most of us noticing. I don’t know if they’re just trying to show off that they can buy an overpriced box of donuts or it’s the first time they ever bought one. It’s mind boggling. ( Read more... )
