Yes, I was watching The Buzz Yesterday, together with my wife and in-laws, and I saw first hand (although just on TV) that what Kris Aquino merely said to make Ruffa Gutierrez walk out in tears was “pero aminin mo, mas Masaya dito.” Then before the commercials even started, Ruffa was seen walking out of the POV set.
I thought this won’t be an issue because Kris, despite her honest and innocent comment, already tried her best to make “amends” by saying “pero mag-kapit-bahay naman tayo” but still, Ruffa had already …

Hello, hello! Guess who’s back to join the circus?

First of all, I’d like to apologize for not making sulat any contribution last month. You see, I just got back from the ‘happy place’ after suffering a massive breakdown due to my involvement in that infamous golf player scandal. Yes, yours truly was also a kasalo, and I was slut #19. (insert Krista Ranillo laugh here). Anyway, I’m okay now and Yaya Indira (a.k.a. slut #20) is doing great too.
Today is the official start of the circus commonly known to us …

Heard from the grapevine tonight ay ang mala-tsunaming balita coming from top news and showbiz websites na nagsplit na ang Hollywood golden philanthropic couple na si Brad Pitt at Angelina Jolie, more popularly known as “Brangelina.”
Ang nalalapit na split ay headline sa News of the World , Showbiz Spy , Pop Crunch at maging sa blog ng ating kaibigang si Ellen Tordesillas, bagama’t ito naman ay pinabulaanan ni Perez Hilton. Ayon sa publicist ng dalawa, tsismis lang daw ito at maraming beses na nga ang napapabalitang paghihiwalay pero di naman …

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

But here’s the cutest of them all:

Stop the bloody ugly Philippine Election campaign folks! Forget about the nasty feud between Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien. You can even set aside the demented Pat Robertson and crazy Rush Limbaugh because the current rave in America is this guy, 62 year old General Larry Platt who was last night’s last contestant on the American Idol. Here’s his very catchy song!

LYRICS: PANTS ON THE GROUND
Pants on the ground

Pants on the ground

Lookin like a fool with your pants on the ground

Gold in your mouth

Hat turned sideways, pants hit the ground

Call …

A break from politics and natural disasters.

On January 8, 1974, hoping for a fresh start, the King of Rock and Roll finalized his divorce papers with Pricilla Presley on his 39th birthday.  At the same moment (but in a different time-zone) on the other side of the planet, tens (or maybe hundreds) of thousands of Filipinos gathered to commemorate another type of King, the Christ.  And as the crowd marched around the streets of Quiapo in praise of the town’s patron saint, Jesus of Nazareth, a new hope was born.  A humble and loving mother from Tondo gave …

Simbang Gabi 2009
One of my favorite festivities growing up in the Philippines is the Simbang Gabi (Misa de Gallo or Advent Pre-Dawn Mass), a nine-day day novena leading up to the Christmas Eve Mass representing Mary’s wait for the birth of Jesus. I remember being awaken by musical bands, carolers, church bells, fireworks, and bright Christmas lights and parols. After mass, we would stop at food stalls in the churchyard for Christmas treats such as hot ginger tea and a variety of rice and coconut cakes like the puto bungbong …

Oh yeah…nerd boys and gals! Drool over this new Iron Man 2 trailer! Watch the youtube clip below:

OMG. Cant wait for Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and yes, Robert Downey Jr in their roles! Kakaloka. Sorry, nerd talaga si Silver sa personal. Hak hak hak.
The details are quite sketchy pa. But based on the trailer, Mickey Rourke will take on the role of Whiplash. In fairness, di ako familiar sa Iron Man villain na ito. Hahahahha.
So come 2010, blockbuster na naman ang summer natin dahil sa mga movies na …

Avatar blasted through its opening day with a whopping 232 million dollars worldwide and yes, peeps, it is still making money in theaters. According to movie critics, Avatar (which is directed by James Cameron) delivers on the hype – movie peeps got what they really buzzed about. As far as I know, Avatar could be the future of science fiction films, made in 3D. Sabi nga ni Aling Wikipedia:
The film is being touted as a breakthrough in terms of filmmaking technology, for its development of 3D viewing …

Wood ni Tiger na-pektyuran daw! Yun ang sabi saken nung isang fwend, as in, kalalapag ko lang in the US, yun agad ang cheezmaks. Ako?! Interested? Not really. Hi hi hi! ~evil grin~ I’m just interested sa golf balls ni Tiger and how he drives his golf club! Nyahaha!
Yan ang cheezmaks as pile and pile of mistresses are coming out in the open. Pero the latest rumors have it that the naked Tiger Woods photos may be true! Ngak! Hahaha! But of course, the pic has to …

After stuffing ourselves with all the Thanksgiving turkey, my family and I decided to burn some calories by going to the Christmas tree farm. This was the first time we cut our own tree, and it was so much fun.

Masarap ang manok lalo na at malutong ang balat nito. Pag tinatawag ng pagkakataon na kumain ako ng mabilisan, pumupunta ako sa fastfood at ang palagi ko inoorder ay Manok. Buti kamo di ako binubuni. Masarap kasi ang manok lalo na yung pitsyo (breast) kasi ito yung parte ng manok na masustansya at walang cholesterol o taba.
Kapag umoorder ako, sinisugarado ko na tamang tama lang sa akin, walang labis walang kulang. Yun kasi ang turo sa amin ng aming ina at ama. Wag kang kukuha ng pagkain na di mo …

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has finally signed into law the “Anti-Hentai” bill last Wednesday. Republic Act No. 9775 or the Anti-Child Pornography Act of 2009 penalizes offenders with one-month imprisonment to life sentence. The offender will also pay a fine of P300,000 to P5 million, depending on the gravity of the offense. (1.00 USD = 46.8096 PHP as of 11/21/2009)
The law defines child pornography as “any representation, whether visual, audio or written combination thereof, by electronic, mechanical, digital, optical, magnetic or any other means, of a child engaged or involved …

I have been a fan of Roland Emmerich ever since his Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow films. So this time mga ka-barrio siete, hindi ko pinalampas ang 2012.
SPOILER ALERT: DONT READ THE ENTIRE POST IF YOU HAVENT WATCH THE FILM YET!!! BAKA AWAYIN NYO AKO! ANO VAH!
The film tells about the impending doom that the whole world will face in 2012. Yes, mga ka-barrio. Gugunawin daw ang mundo by 2012. Ihanda na ang mga nuclear bunkers! Charing. Heheh. The story starts in 2009 when a scientist …

With my usual coffee + keyboard combination on a dreary Saturday Philly morning, I was reading this article about a 35-year-old Filipino who tried to smuggle in 6.145 kilos of cocaine alkaloid but was caught in Cusco, Peru on September 30. Now, in my mind, why would Filipinos do that? Highly unlikely right? Then again, drugs in Manila is already a problem.
And it’s even more interesting reading the comments section. One said… “a drug mule is dalawang klase, ang isa napangakuan ng trabaho sa abroad at ang pangalawa …

Seems as though every livestock we eat can get us sick. First the bird flu. Then madcow. And now, swine flu! What’s next? Rover Fever?

First, a lookback at what happened:

(Source: MTV)
Rihanna breaks her silence in an interview with Dianne Sawyer. You’d laugh at me, but I love Chris Brown’s music that at one point, Diwa was shouting at me to get back to my senses and instead listen to Matt Monroe’s music. Grrr! But I’m sure, a lot of you know about what happened with Rihanna and Chris Brown. The two were lovers. On the even of the Grammy Awards in February, fists flew and the world were suddenly bombarded with Rihanna’s black eyed …

I know that this is a bit late na for Halloween. But heck! Scary movies and stories are an all-year-around staple sa huntahang bayan, pati na din sa inuman ng mga lasenggo!
My friends via Facebook are going gaga over this mala-Blairwitch type of movie. I have searched via Youtube for its trailers and here’s what I have found:

I asked my friend if this film is going to be shown here in the Philippines. Unfortunately, di pa daw ata palabas. I dunno. May katamaran din akong sumilip sa movie …

I’m not a saint.  I don’t have a soul.  I’m not dead—yet.  [Lightning flashes]
Halloween was a pagan tradition that originated from the Celts 2,000 years ago.  November 1st was considered the end harvest season and the beginning of the winter chill and darkness, the time of the year that was most associated with death and destruction.  This was the time when the dead and living meet.  BOO! 
As a Filipino, I have a certain sense of discomfort celebrating this pagan tradition, even in a more commercialized fashion.  One way to …

Or are all these emails we’re getting from strangers part of a well-planned movie promotion of 2012? Whatever it is, I’m sure, I’m not the …

The geese are flying south.  The leaves are turning yellow, orange, and red.  The cold wind is picking up.  The rain is starting to pour.  And my arthritis is acting up.  Fall is here.  So off we go to the pumpkin patches to pick just the right pumpkin for our family.  Pumpkin hunting is one of our favorite family traditions.  The farms offer all kinds of family activities, entertainment, educational opportunities, and fresh FOOD at fair prices!  So unless you don’t have any means of transportation, I’m not sure why …

I hate baseball!

But after getting free tickets for the Seattle Mariners game from work, I didn’t hesistate to take the opportunity to bring my whole family to our first professional sports event. Free tickets, free hotdogs, free soda, fun with family and friends, and watching my half-brother, Ichiro…almost perfect! Only thing missing was a bowl of spare ribs teriyaki.
