Pinoy Big Brother, TV 10 comments

rocky12 Once upon a time, when Janvier Daily was the talk of town, his mother came to this blog to share her thoughts about the controversy surrounding her son. This time, it’s Rocky Salumbides’ mom who airs out her thoughts. Mga mommy, welcome po kayo dito. *hugs*

Hi sa inyong lahat….maraming salamat to your criticisms and comments..some are nice, some are so hurting kahit di naman nila gaanong kilala ang tunay na pagkatao at pinagmulan ni Rocky. WHile Rocky is still inside the Big Brother house, just please watch him na lang. If you really know Rocky that well at gusto nyo syang tirahin, antayin nyo na lang lumabas at harapin nyo sya… It is so hurting to read the comments, especially those bad ones para sa akin bilang nanay nya.

We Are All Connected

Migs Speaks, Miscellaneous, TV 5 comments

We are all connected. Joined together by an invisible thread, infinite in its potential and fragile in its design. Yet while connected, we are also merely individuals. Empty vessels to be filled with infinite possibilities. An assortment of thoughts, beliefs. A collection of disjointed memories and experiences. Can I be me without this? Can you be you? And if this invisible thread that holds us together were to sever, to cease, what then? What would become of billions of lone, disconnected souls? Therein lies the great quest of our lives. To find. To connect. To hold on. For when our hearts are pure, and our thoughts in line, we are all truly one. Capable of repairing our fragile world, and creating a universe of infinite possibilities.

At the Edge of My Seat

Cute Boys, Hunks, TV 39 comments

Edge is a character in Gossip Girly local soap (so I was told), featuring hot dudes and dudettes. Edge, in real life, is Kevin Lapena, a fresh-faced 18-year-old college sophomore at the De La Salle University, majoring in Applied Corporate Management.

Apart from being Edge, Kevin is my glimmering hope, a twinkling light in my damp, sullen nights of loneliness. He sparkles amidst the blinding darkness of dour despair… parang palangganang kay liit-liit at kumikinang-kinang na kung tawagin ay sequins. Charot lang. Basta cute siya. See for yourself:

With Lipgloss male cast: (he’s the one at the leftmost, click to enlarge)

HIV and AIDS in the Philippines

HIV / AIDS, TV 27 comments

Last December, the whole country got to know Wanggo Gallaga, son of director Peque Gallaga, when he admitted on national television that he has HIV. Most viewers were confused: how can a healthy-looking, professional, young man be infected with the dreaded virus. In the minds of many Filipinos, Wanggo does not fit the mold of someone with HIV or AIDS.

More than a decade ago, statistics show that most Filipinos with HIV or AIDS are either sex workers or OFWs. Now, according to the Department of Health, infected patients are getting younger and younger. Last year, more than 60% are between the ages of 20 and 29. Most are males, infected through sexual intercourse with the same sex. Are they the new face of HIV and AIDS in the Philippines ?

In his interviews, Wanggo says that the main reason why he came out is to help educate Filipinos about the virus. Having HIV or AIDS is no longer the death sentence it was a before. With medication and a proper lifestyle, people with HIV and AIDS can live normal lives. He also stressed the importance of getting tested for the virus.

In the US , experts are continually researching for the cure and finding ways to improve the lives of people living with the virus.

Learn more about HIV and AIDS on World View this April 12, after Ful Haus. Hosted by Vicky Morales.

Who is America’s Next Top Model? (Cycle 11)

Personalities, TV 16 comments

I’m here in Southern California and currently glued on the TV — because while I rarely, rarely watch television, I am religiously following Tyra Bank’s America’s Next Top Model (yes, partner influence, hehehe!). Tonight they reveal the grand winner. Currently, 3 remain, namely Samantha Potter, McKey Sullivan, and Analeigh Tipton. Partner has been rooting for Analeigh since the start, while I was for the wicked and mean Elina Ivanova — but when Elina got eliminated I latched on to McKey Sullivan. Now Analeigh and McKey are head-to-head, with dark horse Samantha on the side. In a couple of hours we’ll see who wins :) Hang in there, I’ll give updates here. Warning! SPOILERS AHEAD. (more…)
