Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo: Again, All About KimErald

I saw the full trailer of ABS-CBN's new soap, Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo and I must say that there's really something to look forward to. More than the soap itself, I was blown away with the responses of Kim Chiu's and Gerald Anderson's fans. Before, when there were rumors about Gerald being paired with Sarah Geronimo, Kimerald fans were strongly opposing and it was too powerful that even the ABS-CBN's management had to forgo the idea. There were even numerous instances were projects were cancelled because of the clamors from Kimerald's fans. I thought, if Kimerald's fans are this passionate and zealous about their so-called idols then there could be millions and millions that's why ABS-CBN's decision is being altered. If this love team is that powerful then Kim and Gerald would be a very important icon of Philippine showbiz of this generation (and all the other love teams should accept that fact).

Blackberry or iPhone?...and suddenly it's Blackberry!

For a couple of weeks now, I'm torn between buying an iPhone or Blackberry. I'm a motion designer and I use macbook pro for my work and that would license me to opt for iPhone. However, it's weight and touchscreen functionality gave me the ambiguity to choose it that's why it made me think to also consider Blackberry. And why not? Blackberry is everywhere in Hollywood. Every celeb has it and it's the most used smart phone in the movies hehehe.

My indecisiveness suddenly disappeared. I usually watch The Buzz and for so many episodes now, Kris Aquino used "Blackberry" and she even used it as verb. And since many of the Blackberry models have keypad, it made me decide to go for Blackberry. I find Blackberry Bold 9700 just right for me.

My favorite songs: Empire State of MInd & Can't fight this feeling

These days I fell in love with Jay-Z's and Alicia Keys' Empire State of Mind. But among the two, it was Alicia Keys whom I noticed. She has a powerful presence in the music video. Her voice is intense. Though the music video isn't that great.

Another song that swoons me is from Glee, Can't Fight This Feeling (anymore). One thing I appreciate about Glee is that they revived old songs.

And I Love You So: Ok pala sya

I don't usually watch romantic (or romantic-comedy) movies. More often not in cinemas but I'd just download it elsewhere. The last time that I've seen a pinoy film is Sarah Geronimo's and John Lloyd's You Changed My Life which is also entertaining. I knew that And I love You So was a mega hit in box office and so I was curious plus the fact that last night, I have nothing to watch with my favorite TV series since many of them are in their season break.

The first 30 minutes was almost boring. It was just so light. Mga pa-cute lang, kumbaga. I almost gave up and watch Supernatural instead. But gradually the story picked up its intensity. I was hooked. My favorite scene with Bea was with Coney Reyes when she was confronted. It was just a short scene but very powerful. Bea's performance on this scene was deep and compelling. She made me feel her pain just through her eyes. No shouting and no big drama.

Sam Milby is also a revelation. The role he portray is far from himself and he made me believe that he is as carefree as his character in the movie. His acting is so natural, so fluid. I think Sam and John Llyod would have a head-to-head match when it comes to acting in the generation of actors today.

Derek Ramsay shows an ok performance. His just perfect for the role of Bea's husband. Though he wouldn't be as convincing if he tackled the role of Sam. For some reason, Derek has a stiff personality that even in acting it exudes. A gay role would definitely be a challenge for Derek in his next role and he wouldn't even be intrigued at all. And maybe, I wouldn't even think as he is in that movie.

Pinoy Big Brother: Taas ng Rating

In today's edition of PBB, I sometimes miss some episodes but I'm a fan of MelAson love team. I'm surprised when I've read that it has a high TV ratings that almost dislodges Darna from its position. Congrats and keep it up!

Apple's Mac now reigns

In a span of one month, almost 3 of my friends bought Macbook Pro. Two of them bought the 15" and another bought the 13in MBP. But, of course, Windows-based computers still reigns the market share and a great number of households owns a PC. It also depends upon the firm or organization. Most of design firms use Mac computers. Since my field of specialization is in multimedia and most of my friends are in design world, then most of them also opt to use Macs. It's not about the elitism that one would buy a mac but because of its performance and reliability.

I think it's not really the hardware alone that constitutes to Macs stability, but more so, it is the operating system, Mac OS 10.6. I also own a desktop PC running on Windows 7. It's more stable and faster than its predecessor - Windows XP and Widnows Vista. However, comparing it with Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) makes Windows 7 still come off second best - from start up to shut down!

Tiger's Woody

In the past few days we were swamped with news of Tiger Woods' infidelity. He has girls in every city, how cool is that! Well, not that cool when you're married and have dozens of product endorsements. Tag Heuer has pulled out all their in-store advertisements featuring Tiger Woods. I remember when he said this in an interview:

"If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light, and that's what I want to do. That's what it's all about."

What happened now, Woody?

Hey, Mr. Manny Fuck-quiao! You should take this as a lesson and learn from Woody's mistakes. At least he confessed. You're movie this coming Metro Manila Film Fest might not make money at all because of you're dirty tricks with your female co-stars. Among all the movies this coming MMFF, your movie sucks! And whoever designed your costume should be fired as well! Why did Topel Lee even gave it a go signal with that kind of costume?!
