Tears! Opinion! Shame!

Our Five Favorite People this week:

TEARS: Two of them are shedding out tears...

1. OCTAVIA SPENCER: The Golden Globe winner in the W Magazine January 2012 Issue is shedding tears... pero tears of joy ito, mga Becks. We are happy for her winning the Globe. Let her have the Oscar as well. Pls lang! Deserving ang Lola! She stole our hearts in The Help and brought us the "Eat my shit" churva. (And wait, kamukha sya ni Eugene Domingo. Di ba?)

2. CHARLENE ALMARVEZ: We thought the Las Tres Estrellas of Pin0y Modelling (Charo, Charlene, and Danica) are already past recollection in the international scene ha until we see this editorial of Charlene in UK's Fiasco Magazine (January 2012 Issue). Emotera ang drama. May tulo luha effect. Di magpapatalo kay Octavia. Ching. Hoping to see more of the three this year. In the name of Darna!

A Matter Of OPINION:

3. JULIUS BABAO (in Bandila): Thank you for putting the lid on those Pinoys who hated fellow Pinoys for being Uzi in The Bourne Legacy film shoot in Manila. We agree with you, Julius. So what if they're being Uzi. It is not us who will adjust to them (the foreign filmmakers and actors) ... it's for them to get accustomed to who we are (for being Uzi for example). They are in a foreign country, hello? When in Paris, do as the Parisians do. Sadly, kasi sometimes, sinasanto na natin ang mga puting dayuhan na toh. So please stop na this. Salamat Julius, and pakita mo naman ang upper teeth mo. Please!

4. COCO MARTIN (in KrisTV): Oh yeah, the Indie to Mainstream Actor has a point. Speaking his mind about Philippine Cinema, where good quality Pinoy films raw are not noticed unless they are seen as admirable by foreigners. This, in front of all people, Kris Aquino ha. Natameme ang lola nyo. What does she know about good quality films anyways. Eat my shit! Chos lang. Mama O and I love Kris for being candid. Her opinion doesnt matter but.... its fun lang talaga! Promise!

SHAME!

5. MICHAEL FASSBENDER: He should have won the award! Shame on you Globe! Seeing his craft for the first time in Shame, we thought he'll be the one to beat. But they gave it to the more popular one, George. Tse! This guy is the new Viggo Mortensen or the future Daniel Day Lewis. One of the best Actors of his generation. Magaling. And mind you, daku sya (check nyo sa Shame). Naglalaway si Ekra habang lumalamon ng Popcorn. Chos! If we still have the Titi Award, we'll definetely give it to him, in a literal way. We still have to see him in, Hunger. Cause, we are hungry for more! Amen!

Time To Shut Up!

Sometimes it's better not to share anything of what you think anymore. A time to keep things to yourself and say nothing about it. A time when to voice out your thoughts is no longer important. Of what you desire is better be kept to yourself. Sharing of what you love (or hate), is sometimes, to most, insignificant. So why do it? ..... Better shut up then! (Unless they'll ask you for it).

We are all different people anyway. Each has his own conclusion. Who cares if you think Michael Fassbender should win the Best Actor and how 'big" you think he was in 'Shame'? Who gives a damn if you worship this cute guy Paolo Avelino or how much you hate Charice Pempengco? Who gives a hoot if you dream to go to Amanpulo or how you thought it's a must to go to Kathmandu? Why do we have to broadcast it to all? Its trivial to most..... so why say or write it?

EXCEPT if you are a celebrity or a politico or a living santo.... Yeah, unless you are Ms Chuvaness or a Paulo Coelho or maybe, Ms Kris Aquino.

On the 13th day of the new year, I made my resolution. I'll keep my thoughts to myself from now on, unless people ask me to spill it. But wait! Who cares about my resolution anyway? Wiz! So there, in 13 seconds, I just broke my resolution. Tse! .. Arteeee! Pls lang!

I Always Wanted To Be A Model...

Jade Or Juste?

Congratulations to Jade for winning Britain and Ireland's Next top model

But our hearts were for Juste.

Somehow Elle, et al were looking for someone who looks different.

The freckles nailed it.

But she looks unforgivably awful here.

So, that makes Juste our own true winner. Pls lang!

Bringing Back The Anna Bayle Walk

Gosh ha! Shamcey's distinct walk in the Miss U Preliminary made her one of our top favorites. From number 14 in our previous Favorite list, she jumps really high to somewhere in the Top 5 after watching the preliminaries.

That walk, now known sa kabaklaan world as the 'Tsunami Walk' is actually not original. We thought, It's the modern version of the Anna Bayle's Walk! Thanks Shamcey for bringing the Walk back! Taray!

Diva Taray? Pls lang!

Lovin' Lovi

Why dont The Philippines send this girl (or her calibre) to Ms. U?

If Lovi be our delegate, I will be rapturously blissed out! Only one question though: Is she tall enough? I hope so! Pls lang! I bet her stature is the best formula for a long awaited modern Filipina Win in Ms U. Tse nilang lahat!
