The Curious Case of Benjamin Button [Jan. 11th, 2009|02:41 pm]

"For what it's worth, it's never too late, or in my case too early - to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit; stop whenever you want. You can change, or stay the same - there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."

And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.

So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe

Happy New Year!!!

Go Pinoy! [Sep. 10th, 2008|04:23 am]

It's extra depressing to see corrupt and incompetent politicians delightfully speak about their questionable appointments on national television. This is why I don't like watching news on TV. I actually wanted to commit harakiri after learning that Chavit Singson, an infamous security threat to his political rivals, has been appointed as the new National Security Adviser!

Anyhoo, it's good to know that in spite of all the ugly images we see on broadcast media, there are websites that proudly feature inspiring stories of simple people doing remarkable work for their fellow Filipinos. One website, Good News Pilipinas has, for years, filled us with daily doses of inspirational stories of people stepping up in pursuit of their sublime goals for the country and themselves. Today, it features two promising individuals who have made their mark again in the fields of Film and Entertainment.

Acclaimed Filipino independent film director Lav Diaz ("Death In The Land of Encantos") has been awarded the Best Film trophy in the Orizzonti Section of the Venice International Film Festival for his outstanding work in "Melancholia". The 8-hour long film deeply explores the question of why there is so much sadness and madness in today's world. Very profound, indeed! I wish there were more filmmakers creating quality films worthy of international acclaim.

Another good news to really, really rave about is that our own Charice Pempengco was, again, featured on Oprah, and this time, the episode showcased more of her life story. In the show, she sang "My Heart Will Go On" with David Foster on piano, and was invited by Celine Dion (Not De Leon...Eugene, take note!) to sing a duet with her at the Madison Square Garden in New York! She has such an incredible gift, and I would be sad if years from now, all these would only be part of her 15 minute-claim to fame. Institutions in music believe in her (Imagine, David Foster?!), so let's continue supporting Charice in her quest to make it big in the music world.

I want to share my delight, so feel free to check out the following links:

Veteran comedienne Zoraida Sanchez passes away [Aug. 28th, 2008|05:31 am]
[Tags|, , , , ]
[Current Location |Eastwood]

She may be gone, but the nation will forever remember her as being one of the funniest and smartest comediennes in the Philippine entertainment industry.

For those who pretend to be too young to not know/remember her (hehe), here's a video cap of her from "Petrang Kabayo," a classic fantasy/comedy film starring Roderick Paulate.



Zoraida, thank you for generously sharing your gift of laughter with us. May you rest forever in the Lord's loving embrace.

Watch video by GMA News.
