Why Can't You Visit Us?

Daniel Henney, who Filipinos first saw in the Tagalized version of Korea's tv series "My Name is Kim Samsoon," together with Hugh Jackman, will go to Korea to promote X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Makes me wonder why they don't come here to promote.
But really, why can't Hollywood stars come to the Philippines to promote their movies, when most of us Filipinos just love them. LOL! Really, Hollywood movies are a hit here in the Philippines, sometimes more than our locally made movies. I confess I rarely watch Tagalog movies, only when its critically-acclaimed (like Ploning) or isn't mainly a kilig love story.
Perhaps I'm really not into mainstream. While everyone was out watching You Changed My Life, I couldn't even find myself considering watching it. The last drama-love story Tagalog movie I watched that I really liked was Carlos Siguion-Reyna's 1991 film Hihintayin Kita sa Langit. I watched it through the recommendation of a friend, who also lent me the VCD a few years back. Watching it made me wonder why Siguion-Reyna stopped making films. Or did he? It also raised a question of why modern-day filmmakers won't make films of such story lines.
It was so well-made the characters will stick in your memory. Even if I saw it years ago, I still remember scenes of Gabriel and Carmina so in love with each other. I'm not really a fan of Richard Gomez's acting (and hosting) abilities but the fact that he made the character of Gabriel so unforgettable perhaps mean that he's a really effective
actor. Well, Dawn Zulueta as Carmina gave a flawless performance. A beautiful, helpless, fragile lady so in love with Gabriel but can't escape the cruelties of her brother.
Oh I really hope Reyna Films make movies again. I'm sure those who like Hollywood movies will patronize Tagalog movies with good story lines. By the way, isn't the lack of it made them turn their attention to foreign movies?
Speaking of unforgettable characters, there are two more that I can't forget. Victor and Alma from Andres Cristobal Cruz's "Ang Tondo Man May Langit Din." I'm kinda sure those who read the book can't forget them either.

One, Two, Three

I feel like I haven't blogged in ages. Busy, busy.
For one, Princess' coat is longish already sometimes I find myself combing her for three hours at one sitting. I'd just notice the time when she'd become uneasy or start biting the comb. For the past days, we've been sleeping 2 am-ish just combing her coat.
Two, I kinda play again. Rohan Online hehe. Not that hooked (yet), though. Just enjoying.
Three, Juansen calls every so often. No more classes, he calls me everytime he's bored. And he's bored almost every time cuz it's often just him and his computer at home. His mom doesn't have any plans yet of how her kids would spend the summer. She's busy with renovating their house in Bernabe, and she brings Jansen (the younger kid) with her. Juansen's so loner I'm afraid we're so alike. And omg, he's only in grade six and already blogging. He has aqworlds-addickz and console lover. I don't know which he updates more often but I guess he updates more than I do. LOL!
I'm still trying to plan out my Holy Week. I wanna go somewhere on Black Friday. Mother wants me to stay at home with her, and I guess if other people in the house are going out Friday, I'll just stay with mom. She can't be alone. Too risky, her vertigo attacks every now and then.
That's it for now. Haven't been checking the internet so often I don't have anything to share LOL! Princess is making a pillow out of my foot now. Laters!

Is it really possible to condense a movie in one minute? How about a two-part movie in one minute?
No? Watch below...

A Dead Rat
3/20/2009 09:55:00 AM Posted by noel
The worst "foreign object" I found in food was a strand of kinky hair in my pancake. Oh well, it was in Jollibee where I've experienced other food mishandling prior to that. I keep on coming back, though, because it's the nearest fastfood I can go to everytime I'm in that area.
But the kinky hair is nothing compared to what a Romanian found in his salami.
A dead rat! Waaaaa! Ewww!
The company (Tabco Campofrio Romania) who made the salami says it's a sabotage! I would have that as a reason, too, had that happened to me.

Eric Nies (Strips Then) Saves a Dog
3/18/2009 11:52:00 PM Posted by noel
I'm not really familiar with Eric Nies. TMZ says he's from the first "Real World: New York." Anyway, it's not the television show that got me, it's his heroic deed to save a dog from drowning and freezing in a partially frozen lake.
Sugar Ray (the dog) were chasing some geese and he ended up on the iced-over lake. The ice gave way and the dog was beggining to drown when Eric Nies noticed him.
Eric then stripped totally naked and ran to save the drowning dog.
I really don't know why he didn't leave even just a piece of undergarment on. Perhaps he wasn't wearing any? But if you were him, would you take it all off? I'd probably at least leave my pants on if I weren't wearing undies.
But props to him for saving the dog. Even if it seemed like he wanted to get media attention by stripping naked.
Has PETA acknowledged Eric Nies' heroic deed yet?

I just hate it when I hear or read bad things about my country. But can we really blame them?
