Sharon show needs to reformat

Haven't you noticed lately the "Sharon" show? I'm kinda sick and tired watching the same format of her show. She would guest stand up comedian or celebrities and then they would perform either sing and dance on a small platform while Sharon is just lying on the couch smiling, laughing and making comments. Almost mediocre! She has to live up to her image. She's Sharon Cuneta! Don't just lie on the couch...do something! It could burn your fats, you know. It doesn't even feel a talk show to me. It doesn't mean that when your show rates and you have a name you would give your fans a mediocre performance. Where are your dancers? Why such a small venue? Where are the extravagant performances? It's only once a week why not make it glitzy with over the top numbers and performances? I miss the days during The Sharon Cuneta Show when every performance is just simply marvelous.

Ninja ASS-asin

I was surprised to see the name "Rain" at the closing credit of the movie Ninja Assasin. I'm not a fan that is why after all those kicks and drama it was at the end of the movie I figured that it was him. Well, he's pretty good in singing and dancing and I didn't expect that he could kick ass. The movie wasn't really that bad but I won't recommend it especially if there are other movies to be seen. I thought it was really good because the trailer of the movie was awesome but I was fooled.

Heather Locklear in the new Melrose Place

I was thrilled when I saw Heather Locklear in the new Melrose Place. She still got it but there is one thing that I noticed...she aged. Of course, everyone does. But there's something about her face that you would want to stare and scrutinize it. Was it the make-up?. Oh, it's the botox...of course! Here's the younger Amanda...

New Show: The Bottomline with Boy Abunda

I can't wait to see this. I'm a fan of Boy Abunda so definitely this Saturday I'll tune in. But my only comment is the design of the title animation. It's simple pero parang may kulang. The layout of the graphic elements are somehow off. Well, not that crummy but I know it could've been better. Maybe the producers of the show together with the artists didn't put so much time and effort. It's Boy Abunda after all.

Black and white

Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ang araw na ito

ay puno ng pag-iisip at pag-aalala,

Ito ba ay dulot ng gabing iyong nalaman

and hindi mo dapat masilayan?

Mahirap ipaliwanag kung ano ang iyong nakita

ngunit sana naman ay wag mo ng ibalita.

Hindi ako nagkakasala sa isang bagay na maaari mong ibintang.

Hindi ako perpekto ngunit ako'y nagsisimulang mailang

Sa mga mata mong mapanudyo ako'y natutunaw

sana ang lahat sa takdang araw ay luminaw

Sana iyong maunawaan ang lahat ay hindi lang itim at puti

sana manatili ang pagkakaibigan ating minimithi.

Claudine Barretto is now a Kapuso!

I was shocked when I've read that Claudine Barretto has finally transferred to GMA, the kapuso network. She has been with ABS-CBN since she started acting, that was like 17 years ago. I still remembered when there was this first issue regarding her transfer way back. She said she couldn't imagine herself transferring to any other station. And now what? She just did. And it was so sudden!

The news wasn't flattering...for Claudine. And it wasn't a flattering decision for both. When Ai-Ai delas Alas was about to make a move to transfer to GMA, the top execs of ABS did all what they can to stop her and offered her TV series so she would remain as one of their top talents. But there are no words yet as to why they came up with that decision with Claudine. ABS-CBN just let her go. It wasn't amicable I supposed since everything was abrupt. I was still in the state of waiting her new soap with her sister Gretchen. Of course, I doubt if Gretchen would still say yes for a project in GMA with Claudine. Kris Aquino and Ruffa Gutierrez are all in ABS...so she has to be in the same network where the cream of the crop are. Hindi sya papatalbog.

There are plenty of reasons why Claudine transferred. To top it all, she has no soap or any projects from ABS. She has family to support. Her last soap was Iisa Pa Lamang last year and her last movie was Sukob last 2006. Another reason is that there are new talents in ABS who deserve more attention since they give ABS more cash flows. Just try to imagine Angel Locsin has already new soap in the works and not to mention a new movie with Aga Muhlach. She was nominated for Best Actress in International Emmy Awards. The last movie of Bea Alonzo was a monster hit in the box office. Younger talents like Maja Salvador and Erich Gonzales with their respective soaps also showed a strong presence in the TV rating.

Conclusion: Her transfer wasn't amicable and ABS-CBN let her go because she is now a waning star!

New Moon - New love lost

My friend's wife went out to see New Moon with her friend. He decided to hang out in our office while he waited for his wife to finish the movie. I asked him why not join them instead. He said it wasn't his kind of movie, "my wife and her friend were excited and giggling to see it". After a couple of hours, his wife texted, "the movie is awesome!". And so I was curious.

The next day, I asked one of my friends to accompany me to see the movie. I was shocked, there was a long line of moviegoers. Of course, it was expected. The movie has a great number of fans and followers. Many of them were teens and college students.

When I fell in line, there was a girl behind me accompanied by a man. She was a mestiza, petite and she almost resembled the face of Bea Alonzo. She was in her early twenties. She was smokin'! I couldn't explain it but somehow I felt something. Sort of a rush in my blood stream whenever I would take a glimpse of her. Then I caught her staring at me then our eyes locked and I couldn't take my eyes off her for a second or two. Her boyfriend was just beside her and this was happening, I thought. And so I focused myself not to be distracted by her presence. For a moment, I just focused my attention at my cell phone since my friend hadn't arrived yet. I listened to their conversation intently. Later I realized that they were not lovers. The man was still in the courting stage. I envied him because he wasn't good looking. Hindi din sya maporma pero malakas ang loob to court and pursue such a beautiful piece of creation. Kaya pala they didn't hug though the man was trying to hold her hand.

Later, I heard, "E di mag-CR ka na. Dito na lang ako. Wait kita". It was the girl. She said it twice but somehow the boy didn't respond. He just stayed there. Sayang!

Someone waved at me. It was my friend. Then I typed something in my cell phone then I showed my mobile phone's screen to my friend. I told him the story. So he took a quick glance at the girl behind us and he nodded and he smiled. He agreed.

Later, I felt her arms brushing on mine. She was standing not behind me but somewhat beside me, on my right. I felt a sudden gush of blood in my head...there! Down there. I couldn't resist it and it happened. Fuck! I was wearing my tight jeans. In just a few seconds, I realized that the one of the staff of the cinema in front of us was staring at my crotch. I hid behind my friend who was laughing. The more I became conscious of what happened, the more other people stared at me and my you-know-what. I felt embarrassed and I promised not to wear those jeans again.

"Sige, mag-CR ka na. Mahaba pa naman ang pila". It was the girl again. But the boy just stayed there. I was thinking if he went to the restroom, I would talk to her and ask her number, of course with the help of my friend. I'm kinda shy type you know...but the bloody bastard just didn't move a muscle. Maybe, somehow, he knew.

Later, we were the next on line. We bought the ticket and assigned our seats. I looked for her and she was in the other ticket booth. We were already finished but they were still in the ticket booth. There would be other time and other beautiful creations, I thought. But there would only be one like you...

...Another love lust...uh...lost pala!

The movie was kinda disappointing. I thought it would be just like the first one but it wasn't. I don't know...I just didn't like it. I just waited for the movie to be over. Parang mababaw lang sya. It wasn't awesome. But I understand why others love it. They were fans.
