PBB Celebrity Edition 2: Oh my God! What the fuck! *covers mouth* -Jon Avila. This season’s housemates sure are lucky. I mean, if you’re on the material side. See, Big Brother gave all the things they wished. Baron, Jon, and Will got laptops, Mariel and Gabby SONY flatscreen TV’s, and Riza a keyboard (organ). Only one word resides in my head with all these — ENVY. 
Spring Waltz: This is the new Koreanovela in ABS-CBN. Sadly, the story’s pretty much the same with the rest of them: a poor [2008-01-08 11:29] girl meets a rich boy and they live happily ever after. In this story, it also happens that they’re childhood friends that got separated. Tell me, do things like these really happen in real life? Nah, but mind you, the theme song “One Love” by Acel Bisa is really something for my eardrums. 
Coffee Prince: GMA will start airing this Koreanovela next year (that’s a few days from now!). I’ve heard of a movie that has the same story as this one — a girl disguises as a boy for some reason and the boy wouldn’t know until the later part. Again, I think this is way too impossible to happen in the actual setting. Nevertheless, I think that it’s still worth watching.

Boy: Alam mo bang first kiss ko ‘yun.. (That was my first kiss..)
Boy: First kiss ko rin ‘yun noh…sa lalake. (That was my first kiss too…to a guy.)

Slam Dunk: Yesterday’s episode was the last. Or is it? Shohoku beat the team composed of Shoyo and Ryonan players in their practice game. It was the episode in which they are about to leave for the Inter-High Competition. I have no idea if there are subsequent episodes. At the animé’s peak before, it was the last one. And I also heard that the author of the series already died.
PBB Celebrity Edition 2: The Red Carpet Premiere
{lol} Rushelle, a dormmate, just told her roommates who were craving over Victor Basa that he looks gay..
So yeah, PBB Celebrity Edition 2 finally rolled out the red carpet tonight and welcomed 9 housemates. Or is it? A while ago Toni said that someone from this so-called Planet Yeko is also entering the house. Oh c’mon.. If Kokey will get in I’ll surely kill myself. Haha. The housemates who entered so far, as far as I can recall, are the same exact names I read in the Internet last night. So there really was some sort of leak as told in TV Patrol.
The first one to enter the house was Will Devaugn (did I spell it right?). He’s a model and if you can remember, he did a McDonald’s ad on Rice Burger. The way he pose before entering the house definitely showed his profession. Then there’s Megan Young, a StarStruck Batch 2 member, the former drinking-problematic Baron Geisler, a comedian from Davao City whose last name is Gonzaga, ASAP’s cover boy Victor Basa (Althea here is screaming over him while the others over Will), a Filipina war-freak [^_^]‘ Miss Earth-Canada, Miss Yayo Aguila, two 26K girls from Deal or No Deal, and Baron’s older brother Donald. We all thought at first that Banker’s identity will be revealed at last but it turned out that he was there to simply call Toni and tell her the details. Tsk, I should’ve remembered what I read in the Internet and spoiled it to the folks here. {hehe} The 26K girls and the Geisler brothers are 2-in-1, meaning that they go together in terms of eviction and the like. Lastly, for sure, Enchong Dee will be entering the house.
Okay, so it turns out that Kokey merely ‘lighted’ ABS-CBN with Christmas lights and sparked some fireworks. But if I heard right I think Toni said that he’ll also enter the house. That’d be for a very short period of time only. Could you imagine the person behind it wearing the mask for 90 days if he/she were a housemate? x_x.Ack!
The Amazing Race Asia 2
On your mark, jet set, go! »»|
Four continents. Over 50,000 kilometers. 20 feisty contenders. With two Pinoy teams in the running, ‘The Amazing Race Asia 2′ promises to be a no-holds-barred scramble to the finish line. We reveal the racers, and the controversial tandem that will get everyone talking
LOST IN TRANSIT Paolo R. Reyes
THERE WE WERE, 35,000 feet above the air, aboard a bumpy flight bound for Singapore, when the throaty cockpit voice of Captain Culan-culan came crackling through the speakers: “Passengers … please fasten your seatbelts … we are about to make our final descent.”
As we returned our seats to the upright position, while dolled-up attendants wheeled away Duty Free carts containing tins of tobacco (or “tow-bay-ko,” as the P.A. system so eloquently announced) and handsome boxes of hard liquor, it was easy to imagine how the very novelty of travel - the unfamiliar scent of foreign soil, the labyrinth of alien streets, the indecipherable accents of strangers - can be easily lost on those preoccupied with way more important things.
Like a fiercely competitive race around the world. Or earning a ticket to early retirement-ville by way of a brag-worthy cash prize.
Be it for $100,000 (or P5 million, more or less) or simply for the glory of being crowned as the winners of “The Amazing Race Asia,” no amount of anxiety-abating downers will ever dampen the adrenaline of those taking part in the riveting, Emmy Award-winning reality TV series.
Last week, during a star-spangled bash at the Indochine Forbidden City in Clark Quay, action-adventure channel AXN finally unveiled the spanking new lineup of teams that will be slugging it out in the “The Amazing Race Asia 2.”
With a television-friendly roster that includes a hearing-impaired Singaporean gym-junkie, estranged siblings from Japan, desperate housewives (and ex-dancers) from Malaysia, hot young starlets from Hong Kong, and two Pinoy teams (including the brawny pair of Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez), the second season promises to be an intense, no-holds-barred scramble to the finish line.
Along the way, of course, expect your weekly dose of bratty tantrums, testosterone-induced clashes, and some serious flirting between the contestants.

Teri Hatcher Against the Philippines
I was falling in line for dinner when TV Patrol started. The first news on their list was about this actress named Teri Hatcher which stars in the U.S. TV show “Desperate Housewives”. I never really knew her before or even watched a single episode of the show, and I never thought I would know her this way.
(Scene: Susan Mayer talking to her doctor - 09/30/07)
Doctor: I know for a lot of women the word menopause has negative connotations. They hear, uhm, aging, brittle bones, uh, loss of sexual desire..
Susan Mayer: Okay before we go any further, can I check those diplomas ’cause I would just like to make sure that they’re not from some med school in the Philippines.
Now how ’bout that. I don’t know what was up with the scriptwriter for that episode to use the name of our country (or any other country for that matter) that way. It’s such an insult to the Filipinos. The Filipino community in the U.S. had to react, of course. Who wouldn’t? An insult of their beloved nation has just been thrown on national television! The world may have not known about what we’re truly capable of doing of yet, but we know ourselves that we can do better like any other country out there. We have the number of good exports to other countries. We could even be considered as the country with the greatest export workers. And think about being “hospitable”. This is just ridiculous - another plain issue of racism. The scriptwriter should have used “Antarctica” instead. That’d have no conflict at all. A public apology from ABC is being demanded, and I believe it should be done.
