tony and jackey
just got my hair done at tony and jackey in sm marilao.good thing that they have a branch in marilao because i was really planning to get my haircut at sm annex.
claudine barreto
claudine signs a contract at gma 7.
last Wednesday, Barretto inked a 2-year contract with the Kapuso network at GMA Network Center. Reports said her parents accompanied her when she signed the deal.
Present during the contract signing were the network’s top executives, reports added.
This development came more than a month after she signed a two-film contract with Viva Films.
Barretto, a contract star of ABS-CBN for almost 17 years, was considered to be one of the biggest stars of the Kapamilya network.
well,goodluck to claudine in gma. starting today she should expect flop movies and tv shows in gma which she never experience in abs-cbn.
and imagine when angel locsin moved in abs-cbn there were so many bad publicity and press releases came from gma but when such big actress in abs-cbn moved in gma not even a single bad word they heard with abs-cbn that's how good being a kapamilya is.

new moon mania
The film starts with a pale-faced Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) standing in a woodland clearing, waving to her grandmother. From the shadows walks an even paler Edward Cullen (Robert Pattison), skin glittering in shining-shimmering splendor under the soft rays of sunlight. Ladies and gents, we have officially entered the cheesy world of Twilight.
Staying true to its prequel, the first 20 minutes feeds the audience with heaping servings of unadulterated cheese. I can’t help but laugh out loud amidst a smitten crowd of crazed fangirls when Edward Cullen, donning his trademark glare, utters the words, “You give me everything just by breathing.” And, like clockwork, the sentimental piano score booms from the background. I swear I can hear whimpers from the crowd as the two star-crossed lovers part ways. Forever, I hope.
Just when I am about to write the movie off as a slightly-polished twin of the first, the plot gets a much needed shot of adrenalin as we are introduced to a slew of new faces in the form of strapping young werewolves, shirtless throughout the movie, and an unearthly intimidating group of elite super vampires called the “Volturi.” The casting choices are perfect, treating the audience to a mix of notable stars and complete unknowns. The standout in this ensemble is a silent Dakota Fanning who plays Jane, a vampire whose demeanor is as fierce as her blood-red eyes.
I find it amazing how the Cullen family’s absence in 80% of the film flips the whole mood around. The skies are less drab, the songs less sentimental, and the exchange of lines less cringe-worthy. In this movie, the emotive vampire family plays second-fiddle to the alpha pack of werewolves and Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). For a 17-year-old, Lautner surprisingly plays his part well, giving moderated doses of violence and tenderness to his character. His pairing with Bella, dare I say, is actually more believable than her hollow supernatural connection with Edward. The storyline becomes richer, its progression filling the voids left by the first flick.
The movie still does have its faults though, with several booboos in pivotal scenes; the most laughable one being the film’s climax set in Volterra, Italy where a desperate Edward strips down to his bare essentials, giving a massive crowd of people, not to mention the audience, a gag-inducing peep show of anemic skin and body glitter. I will refrain from narrating further as not to spoil the experience for any devout fangirl, but then again, the movie is lifted from a book so there’s nothing much to spoil. In any case, all the loopholes are negligible since viewers will be glued to the screen, voraciously consuming the clues and revelations being set up for the next big installment.
What makes New Moon way better than Twilight, aside from its seamless match cuts, clean camera work, fast-paced action sequences, and poignant background music, is the fact that it brings back the chilling gothic image of these creatures which is severely lacking in the first movie. This difference transforms this hormone-induced fantasy chick flick into a mildly palatable movie for all audiences.

so in love with paricce
paricce never fails to amaze me with her wit and talents.i woke up everyday with a paper flower on the side of the bed and a card that says mom i love you.i never imagine my life living without this sooper dooper kulit kid.
sulat ni tatay at ni nanay
a very touching letter.i hope when i grow old paricce will do the same for me.
anatomy of a call center agent
- finished an actual course na di related sa job.
-the essential call center agent symbol,the deep eye bags.
-has forgotten what an actual traffic jam looks like and how it feels like to sit through one.
-for a tropical country,jackets are now necessary,lamig e.
-coffee reigns as king.
-lost his sense of time the moment training began.
-isa dito malamang naging sakit mo na:
sore throat,gastritis,high-blood,hypertension,hyperthyroidism,pneumonia.
- malamang wla kang ipon.kakabili ng gadgets,clothes and coffee!!!
-daig pa tambay sa kanto at mga party goers sa aga gumimik.8am pa lang nasa gimik na at umiinom.
and the most important of it all,if your looking for pressure you are on the right track.
(pressure ha,not pleasure!)

updates on jacque bermejo
friend of jacque:
"I worked with her for almost a year. I sent her a message as soon as I read about her in FB and I feel sorry for her because she's a victim of a fraud FB account. She was crying on the phone and is now so afraid to go out because of all the hate messages she's been getting the whole day. I don't know how some people can find time to create a fake account just to damage another person. Mind you, Jacque and I are not that close but I feel the need to clear her name because I can just imagine how scared she is right now. Everybody hates her for a comment she never made."
Jacque Bermejo has attempted to commit suicide (from an anonymous tip. I cannot reveal the name) she has locked herself in her room, crying and sulking and no one has been able to contact her. Not even her relatives. Please let's give her a break, let's wait until she releases a statement
UPDATE: The Brother's Official Statement
ok! it all started sa Friendster last year 2008, my sister told me that her account was hacked by someone mad at her prolly inggit or may galit... she really doesn't know or what's the reason why she has been hacked, of corse she's pissed off because this person keeps messing up her friendster profile. So, hinayaan lang ng sister ko yun, since wala nmn xang alam sa social networking or kung ano man, she's a working woman na at wala xang panahon magfriendster.
Ngayon naman this issue has been spreading about her posting such harsh words:
"buti n lg am hir in dubai maybe so many sinners bak der!so year deerving wat happend!"
Ang ate ko hindi ganyan kung magenglish, edukada sister ko at nag graduate sa UP. We came from a PROVINCE and part of a political family. Hindi basta basta si ate jack magpopost na magsisira sa family name namin. Dumaan din kami sa hirap, at for your information binagyo din ang lugar namin, TATLONG BESES. Why in the world will my ate as a filipino disgrace our family and citizen, sana po wag muna kayo manghusga.
Hintayin lang po sana ung explaination, for she doesn't have internet nor load right now, its around 3am-4am at dubai, and I have hard times contacting her myself.
Kung sino ka man gumagamit ng pangalan ng ate ko, mahahannap ka din ng mga bermejo.
UPDATE:
People, Jacque's representatives will be going to the NBI at ten this morning. Her brother will be issuing a statement in a few hours.

bagyong ondoy
yesterday,i was sick and spent the whole day sleeping inside my room.the only time that i get up from my bed was to eat and to pee of course.feeling ko ang sarap matulog kasi ang lakas ng ulan saka malamig,no need for aircon's or electric fan at all.
mga 1 or 2 pm nagbrown-out maybe bec. sa lakas nga ng ulan.
4 pm,i woke up bec.maingay.
paglabas ko to my surprised ang daming tao and ang gulo!yung mga gamit and clothes nila nakatambak sa sala namin and daming kids and people din(neighbors).i asked my brother what happened sabi nya sakin tingnan mo kaya sa labas hanggang bewang na yung baha.when i looked down nyek! ang taas na ng baha.ok wala lang deadma lang natulog lang ulit ako.
mga 2 am may nareceive akong text from ian,one of my friend who lives in marikina.he mentioned that he was in his aunt's house.he mentioned if i was interested of buying a stainless ref just for 250 pesos kasi binibenta nila kunin ko na lang daw sa marikina river.e di ko masyado naabsorb yung sinasabi nya i don't know if it's a joke or what,i just realized that it was a joke when he said na pati aircon nila for sale na rin for 20 pesos lang pero he was not sure kung andun pa sa river yun.what the fuck!nakuha nya pa magjoke!then i texted him and asked him kung ok ba sya and yung family nya,currently they were staying at his aunt's house in katipunan nga good thing nothing bad happens to them.
morning i received a lot of text coming from my friends and asking me how i was,maybe they forgot na 2 storey yung house namin.then i realized to text some of my friends na alam ko na binabaha din yung mga house.naawa ako dun sa isang friend ko na nagwowork sa isang restaurant.3:30 ang out nya sa work sa sta.maria bulacan sya umuuwi.nakauwi sya sa kanila ng 9am ng morning dahil walang madaanan papunta sa kanila lubog na sa baha and to top it all nilakad nya mula marilao up to bocaue exit sa nlex kahapon ganun kagrabe nilakad nya.tsk.tsk.tsk.
nagkakuryente na samin ng 11 am.dun ko na narealized yung aftermath nung typhoon ondoy.grabe!nakakakilabot yung mga pinsala na ginawa nya.all aspects of life naapektuhan,rich and poor,ordinary people and famous artist,old and young,as in lahat affected!
sa mga sakuna na ganito dito natin napapatunayan yung pagiging pilipino natin,bayanihan system kumbaga.ang daming mga taong nagdodonate,nagvovolounteer ng service nila,tumutulong sa abot ng makakaya nila.and this time issues about politics,competitions or rivalries bet.2 networks or other people,away isinantabi muna bec.what important is to help those people in need.
even some famous foreign stars share their sentiments regarding sa sakuna na ito like actress demi moore and alyssa milano and the singer josh groban.
madami ng sakuna na nalampasan ng mga pilipino.alam ko is lang ito sa mga sakuna na malalampasan natin because survivors tayong mga pilipino,lahat kakayanin natin.pero sabi nga sa news kanina it's not also about the material things that is important sa mga people na naapektuhan ng bagyo kundi yung rebuilding din nung life nila mula sa pagkakashock sa pangyayaring ito.let's all pray for those people na marescue na at makasurvive sa disaster na ito.

breaks my heart by monica
Hey, yeah...
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah
Oh...oh...oh...oh...
Oh, yeah
Oh...oh...
When i think of what i've done, all the pain that i've brought
baby, you should've walked out on me
And when i turned away from you, whenever there were hard times
How could you still be with me
And it was no mistake, when i hurt you that day
And went out with somebody new
But still you forgave me like it was so easy
I should've been BETTER TO you
Baby, it breaks my heart
To think that lovin me is not easy to do
And i dont mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes i put you through
And it's hard to believe after everything
You're still here right beside me
Wouldn't trade you for this whole world
Thankful just bein' your girl
Never gave you my heart, cause i never thought
you deserved any of me
I never told you how i felt, when deep inside i knew that
You're really what i need
And i always gave you up whenever i thought
Something better'd come along
And right when i come back, you're waiting for me
And you welcome me home
Baby, it breaks my heart
To think that lovin me's not easy to do
And i don't mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes i put you through
And it's hard to believe after everything
You're still here right beside me
Wouldn't trade you for this whole world
Thankful just bein' your girl
And if it takes my whole life
I'll make it up to you
'Cause i've been so cruel
And you've given your love to me in spite of everything
I-I don't deserve you
From this day forward, I'm truly yours
it took me a while to see
That we were meant for one another
Thank you for loving me
Baby, it breaks my heart
To think that lovin' me's not easy to do
And i don't mean to make it hard
Sorry for all the changes i put you through

A LETTER TO MANAGEMENT AND TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE TOLD ME OF THEIR KNOWLEDGE REGARDING THE FACEBOOK ATTACKS OF RG CRUZ AGAINST KORINA SANCHEZ
From Korina Sanchez
I thought, not too long but hard, about writing this letter about someone who I supposedly work with but hardly know — someone who, should I see along our company corridors, I probably wouldn’t even recognize. While some characters would sit back, relax and ignore the nuances and irritants of daily living, some characters such as mine are the types who would see and know, by experience if I may add, that evil prospers when good men do nothing. While there is wisdom in silence, there is nobility to be found in response and courage — as foolish as some might think these to be, given specific circumstances.
Such was my thought process when I decided to write this letter. As inconsequential to my universe as someone, whose opinion I do not care about at all, is — there is something to be said here and something to consider. It is for the greater good among us who, fortunately or unfortunately, have to work with each other in ABS-CBN for, precisely, the greater good.
I received the calls and texts to me from longtime co-workers and colleagues at the station recently. They say, “Ma’am, do you know what RG Cruz has been posting on his Facebook against you? Why is the company allowing this? How could he say such things? Do you have some war going on with him?”, the person at the other end of the line sounded so urgent. This is the 3rd person to tell me of the Facebook entries by an RG Cruz within a few days about a “First Lady wannabe …who would eventually be a bad spouse…a queen in her head without a crown… ” and some. We have copies of all of the RG Cruz entries on his Facebook. Suffice it to say that the tirades against who Cruz eventually admitted was Korina Sanchez were as creative as creativity can many times be
Borne of spite and utter, utter hatred. It reminds me of the creativity of serial killers from history. Jack the Ripper for instance — who kept the English police guessing and following and analyzing each way the pattern was kept alive with each of his dead, mangled victims.
I thought hard, “RG Cruz? RG Cruz…Oh…RG Cruz, oh that RG Cruz”. He always wears a long coat much like Keanu Reeves in the movie Matrix. I once thought it to be cute and fantasized my fiancé Mar in one of those wondering, “Hmmm, maybe this outfit would do it for him and give an extra 5 percentage points in the surveys”. Alas, we always have the same reaction to every idea — it is ability, track record, integrity, honesty, diligence, intelligence, compassion and vision that should bring an aspirant to his rightful place in history — stupid. Not long coats!
Back to RG Cruz. Yes, I remember now. RG is the cute little young guy who I actually kind of like. I thought from his outfit and from watching one anchoring job he did in ANC that this guy has character. We would often walk by each other going different directions in company corridors late at night when I anchor Bandila. Many of those times I try to catch his glimpse to smile but, for some reason, he always has his head down or he would look some other direction. Half of that time maybe it was I looking down and at other directions. In short, and as astonishing as it apparently is, I don’t really know nor have interacted or worked, nor do I ever remember having had conversation with Mr. RG Cruz. And I do not know where his concentrated anger targeted towards me is coming from.
Skin off my nose. He doesn’t count. But here is where we learn some things, yes, even in instances that should seem not matter. Sad as it is, it is not surprising that, in my experience of more than 20 years of work in the company, there may always be someone like RG Cruz who will just be the way they are without rhyme or reason. There have been many batches before RG that I have seen, suffered and survived. I guess he represents his batch. My advice is, ignore. And then, when you feel it has become too much, report to our superiors. If the regulations and the law warrants, push for management action, even a sanction, even a lawsuit.
Logic dictates that, just as we are all bound by regulations and ethics regarding how we relate and treat each other within the company, these parameters encompass treatment of each other that is public, evident, attestable. Facebook, designed as it may be for “friends”, is essentially public. Slanderous comments are, arguably, considered published. “Blind item” lawsuits have been won in Philippine courts as well. As long as more than a certain number of people can identify, without a doubt, the unnamed victim of slander and character assassination, the offense is actionable.
I, by the way, do not understand why Mr. Cruz would bother to not mention my cherished name in his attacks against me when he outright named another company talent, Mr. Willie Revillame, and attacked him as well.
In the interest of sound policy covering such misdemeanors to protect its employees and talents and maintain the civility required of us all to achieve company goals — as painlessly as humanly possibly — I have inquired with management and have urged them to take a closer look at the cyberworld as public domain and which is a potent instrument for destruction and unwarranted personal aggravation of its victims, especially in the hands of co-employees.
Lastly, but most importantly. It has been almost 6 days since Sen. Mar Roxas’ abdication of position of standard bearer of the Liberal Party of the Philippines to endorse Sen. Noynoy Aquino as party candidate for the Presidency of the Republic. I’ve seen it and felt it for myself: it is the easiest thing to have an ambition, calculate and run for office. It is the most difficult to want to serve, calculate, invest and then give way. Until you see and be, it would be a task for any jaded journalist to imagine.
The overwhelming outpour of love, grief, disagreement with the decision, admiration and emulation which followed Sen. Roxas’ example has carved a niche for his good name in Philippine history books this early in his life in public service and governance. I would like to thank many of you who have called to say how they’ve admired Mar’s sacrifice. To those who challenge the integrity of Mar’s sacrifice and may dismiss it as expediency I invite you to a chat as I might enlighten you on things you might not be fully informed about or aware of. I give special thanks to Ted Failon, Julius and Tintin Babao, the people of DZMM News, Joelet Reyes, the other staff of Bandila, Ging Reyes and Charie Villa, Ms. Cory Vidanes and our President Charo S. Concio for their kind and generous words.
Many of us in the news business have often thought, felt that we are as big or powerful as those we cover. Our indifference and sarcasm say so. And too many times I have, myself, dismissed acts of greatness and sacrifice as just “one of those things”. Having taken this long a leave of absence from my years of work in broadcast for the first time and finding myself participant in something so important to this country, its people and its future I now see even more clearly how small and insignificant each of us is in the much bigger picture affecting 90 million lives. That is, until we think, act, speak and, most of all, do something to become the difference, make a difference for the good and become … bigger. Or do something or nothing to make us even smaller, more insignificant. We might as well just disappear.
So to you, RG Cruz, I say, I hope that — as your Facebook entry narrated — as you were “eating chocolate” and indulging your gastronomical cravings while events at Club Filipino on the 2nd of September 2009 were unfolding and all you could think of and delight in, as written in your Facebook, are your cruel attacks, pettiness, inanities and insensitivities to the sacrifice of others and, horror of horrors, make these public — you will, henceforth, attempt to save yourself from the very real prospect of disappearing, leaving this world without a trace, no better and even worse than when you found it.
By the way, did you know that Jack the Ripper loved chocolates, too? Look it up.

“P.S. I have attached an interesting article written by Ms. Solita Monsod – which I highly recommend for your reading. I encourage you to pass this letter to anyone at the office or outside who may had read RG Cruz’ attacks against me and my name as a matter of defense of my character and reputation. Thank you very much.”
