Movie Review: Paano Kita Iibigin (2007)

Posted on June 26, 2007 by Yoshke in Movies, Reviews | 9 Comments

Genre: Romance Director: Bb. Joyce Bernal Stars: Piolo Pascual, Regine Velasquez I was able to watch this film last week for free. To be honest, I really had no plan of watching this movie. Let’s just say that Tonet, a friend who was a part of this production, was very persistent and forceful, and she gave me a movie pass so I could watch it for free. It’s actually hard for me to write this review because everybody knows I … →

Fact of Life: Boobs Sell

Status: Off to Israel… Kidding Music: Shoulda Woulda Coulda - Beverly Knight No, I’m not encouraging you to go to that Maxim party. (It’ll be in New York, hello!?) I want you to look at the woman on that poster. She’s one of the female (former) Israeli soldiers to grace Maxim’s cover this July. (Yes, she’s a soldier. Really. I swear.) There’s nothing controversial about it really EXCEPT that it is sponsored by the Israeli government itself. And why the hell is Israel doing … →

Save the Cheerleader. Save the World!

Posted on June 21, 2007 by Yoshke in Rants, TV | 16 Comments

Status: Wet Music: Back for Good - Take That I got the title from a peyups.com poster -otep-, which he got from some other website. If you don’t watch the TV programme Heroes, that line “Save the Cheerleader. Save the world,” is actually very, very important for one character, the cheerleader, must be saved so they could all save the world. I refused to watch Pinoy Big Brother for the longest time, but coincidentally, when I was about to continue my Heroes marathon last Monday, I saw Gee-Ann … →

Blame Tinky Winky

Status: Amused Music: Fly By - Blue I know this issue is so not new especially here in the Philippines and also in the US, but I would just like to talk about it now that Europe is finally noticing what we’ve been laughing about (/ at). Anyway, are you aware that the Polish government tries to ban the hit television programme for kids Teletubbies? Why, you ask? Because they say that this show promotes homosexuality. Poland’s government has always been conservative when it comes … →

Another Smorgasbord of Unwanted Comments on Contemporary Music

Posted on June 17, 2007 by Yoshke in Music, University | 15 Comments

Status: Silly, silly me Music: Everywhere I Go - Katharine McPhee Before anything else, I would like to announce that I have just finished the certificate program in Foreign Service in Ateneo. *clap, clap* The graduation was held last night and I was really happy and fulfilled. This year proved to be a fantastic one for me. I have accomplished a lot, but I know there’s still so much left to accomplish so it’s not time to really celebrate yet. Anyhow, I feel really … →

Window Shopping

Posted on June 11, 2007 by Yoshke in Emo, Love, Poetry | 2 Comments

Beauty surrounds me in this hell of goods as good as you: those African love birds that you find too noisy; those cool keep-out and hands-off signs that you never respect; those royal purple undies you have always disgusted; those designer clothes you enjoy to bash harshly; those elegant jewellery you keep complaining about; those blue roses that you are allergic to; those leather shoes that make you stumble; that exquisite bed you choose to avoid; that velvet rope you … →

Unusual Saturday

Posted on June 10, 2007 by Yoshke in Friends, University | 4 Comments

Status: Sober Music: Shake it Off - Mariah Carey MJ, Yoshke and Issa somewhere along Baywalk I was starting to complain about my Saturdays. It slowly got boring and everything sort of became a part of a routine. Though I’m glad I was able to make new friends (Helen, Shiena, Miel, Luke) and basically we have the same interests, my Saturdays never really reached the “exciting” level. It was always “just fun,” and “ok.” Not that there’s something wrong with my new friends. … →

Happy Birthday, Miro!

Status: Cutting classes Music: Ironic - Alanis Morissette This day may not be very extraordinary, but it is a very, very special day. Let me greet my football / soccer super idol Germany’s Miroslav Klose a HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! He turned 29 today (June 9th). Anyway, I really, really adore Miro that I would give anything just to meet him in person. ANYTHING. I know he’s been having a little rough time with all the issues about him lately, but I know he’d get over em and get back in his excellent shape. … →
