IT'S REALLY YOU

We had a fight... Thought it was the end of the world...

I left the house immediately and begun searching. Where should I start? Is there any way I can stop the pain? I am hurt that night and all I could do is walk and breathe... walk and breathe... walk and breathe.... It was like my brain was not functioning anymore yet I can feel the rush of blood into my brain and the plunge and height of every heart beat. we have never fought like this before. It was like the end of the world for me.

The night passed and still I can't find a place to sleep. I was just sitting at a cafe while staring at the blankness. I knew there were a lot of people but I did not feel any of them. Numbness embraces me like I never had any emotions. Tears were just falling and I can't tell them to stop.

The night ended with me not sleeping by a bit. The rays of the sun welcomed me yet I feel empty and not ready for the new day. No calls, no texts... Nothing.... I felt alone for the first time in my life. Never thought that what we have would just end like that.

And then, the afternoon came and a text message greeted me with much delight. "Can we talk?", says the message. Without hesitation I said yes. My heart was pounding while waiting for our meeting. Then, slowly coming from afar, there he was. And when we met, simple words came out of his mouth. "Sorry." "I'm sad without you." "I don't want us to fight again." And my heart just crumbled. It's really YOU.

WONDER WOMAN IS HOT

Never mind the issue with the initial costume of Wonder Woman. In both her old and new outfits, all I can say is she is smoking hot. Adrianne Palicki is the one tapped to don the new tights for the amazon princess and I think she fits the role to a T.

The new show will premiere in NBC this fall. And if the initial reactions and web buzz is to be considered, I think, Wonder Woman would be a cult favorite. Well, let's just wait and see if WW can sure whip some ass. I'm excited for the show to arrive in the Philippines as well.

NATION MOURNS OVER FILIPINO EXECUTION IN CHINA

The whole nation mourns over the execution via lethal injection of 3 Filipinos in China. The three -- Ramon Credo, 42, Sally Villanueva, 32, and Elizabeth Batain, 38 -- were arrested separately in China in 2008 for smuggling heroin and sentenced to death.


The execution made by the Chinese government has drawn several reactions from different set of people citing the Philippine government as not doing much to save their lives. The Catholic church and Amnesty International has both been very vocal of their disappointment with the Aquino administration. But while saving the lives of these Filipinos seem to be task, ket us not forget that they did something bad as well and they did it on a foreign land. We can't expect the government to flex its muscles and get in the way of anothe nation's legislation and laws.

What we can do now is to remember that wherever we are, we should always put in mind to do only what's just and what's right. But as for these 3 souls, all we can do is pray for them and their families.

MY TOP 20 SONGS FOR THE WEEK (WEEK OF MARCH 20, 2011)

These are the top songs for the week ended March 20, 2011. Happy listening!

OLIVER TOLENTINO MAKES US PROUD

Another Filipino is making waves in the international circuit and this time it is in the fashion industry again.

Oliver Tolentino is the first Filipino ever to participate at the El Paseo Fashion Week at Palm Springs, California. He headlined an elite field of designers and opened up his show last March 20.  Proudly Filipino, Tolentino hails from Bataan and presented around 50 plus designs that showcased Philippine fabrics. PLaying with colors and fabrics is one trademark of Tolentino. His designs brings a great mix of the East and the sophistication of the West.

Oliver made big waves in the fashion industry last year when he won the Sustainable Eco Fashion Award at the 2010 Bahamas Fashion Week

HOOTERS MUNCH OUT

It has been a while since I featured a restaurant and what a better way to have a new post by doing one for HOOTERS. Hooters for some of those who don't know is an American Inspired resto much akin to the likes of Friday's, Tony Roma's and Chili's. But what makes it different? Well, let's just say the place is sizzling hot.

Why do I say so? Well, the ladies are in their shortest shorts ever. Yup, so guys hooray if you want a feast not only for your tummies but also for your eyes. I am joined by my bestfriend this time around and we ordered quite a lot for just 2 people. We ate Chicken Quesadillas, Boneless Wings, Grilled Chicken Salad and soda. Wow, and all I could say was it was really something.

I enjoyed the ambiance and the as for the food, i loved the Boneless Wings. It was tasty up to the innermost portions of the chicken meat. The dips were just superb as well. As for the rest they were good as well. Maybe more dressing on the salad would make it more tempting. So if you haven't tried Hooters, then go now and have a great dining experience.

I SO LOVE "BORN THIS WAY"

Lady Gaga has been one of my favorite acts in the past few years and that adulation has somehow grown further with her release of "Born This Way". This is somehow different sounding that her previous hits but overall this shows her versatility to make any sound or genre really worth liking for.

Aside from it being a catchy tune and all, it has t Me Is Yougreatness written all over it. With a message that strikes every individual and makes no exceptions as to culture and gender, Gaga has really conquered the music scene. Although I personally don't like much of the video, I still like this song by much and dances to its tune every time I hear it. So guys, you should always remember that you are who you are and no one can take that away from you. We are all born the way we are and we should be proud of it.

Way to go, Gaga!

MOVIE REVIEW: WHO'S THAT GIRL

Comedy has been a big draw in Philippine movies in the past few months and the trend just keeps on going. This time it is Anne Curtis, Luis Manzano and the ever so funny Eugene Domingo doing the task of tickling our funny bones.

"Who's That Girl" actually has a not so deep plot and to tell you honestly some of the scenes seem fast tracked or maybe the editing job was not outstanding. But those can be forgiven by the fact that it delivered in making people laugh. Luis and Anne have simple even cutesy funny moments. But the support cast was just hilarious. Starting off with Candy Pangilinan who played Anne's BFF in the movie. She was just wacky and she delivered her lines with gusto. Joy Viado was also another good addition to the cast. She effortlessly utters words and put funny in it. But as usual, the best laughs were elicited by Eugene Domingo. Uge has never failed to make us laugh on each scene. Her portrayal of a bad-ass mom who is willing to take her grudges towards Anne's character was off the hook. She just blabbers anything under the sun then all the people come out bursting in laughter.

Nice but not super. 3 out 5 popcorns.

EARTH HOUR TODAY

Once more, the entire WORLD including the Philippines will embrace darkness. Today, March 26, 2011, Filipinos all across the country and even the world will once again join the Earth Hour. It will be the 5th year for this event organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature and this will be the 2nd year I would be actively participating on this drive.

I'll join hundreds of people or maybe even thousands at the Mall of Asia Grounds and turn off the lights for an hour starting 8:30 PM. This campaign is driven towards awareness on the need to take action with the climate change all over the world. Last year, billions joined the Earth Hour in support with the movement. I am proud to say that for the past 2 years (2009 and 2010), Philippines has topped Earth Hour participation. In 2009, 10 million Filipinos in 647 cities and towns joined and 15 million in 1,076 cities and towns switched off and turned pitch black. (Yey, I'm part of the 15 million last year)

It has become one of the biggest event in the world and will continue so. I hope people would not see this only as a yearly thing. Instead we should look on how we can actively support this endeavor on our daily lives. We can save mother nature in our own ways. A small thing done from each one of us could be collectively doing great measures.

DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE

Krispy Kreme. That's where I am right now. Sitting and waiting for my office time.
As I try to sit alone and think of whatever God given topic to write in my blog, Beyonce's song suddenly came out playing. The song is the one I love the most. "Dangerously In Love"

As if I could relate to the song. Well, yes! I am a romantic and will continue loving until the last breath of my life. I live to love and express it. Sometimes, it might seem as too much but practically it's me. That is who I am. Dangerously In Love. Or maybe just willing to give out all in the name of love.
