I woke up this morning coughing my lungs out, wondering whether last night was real or not. A few moments later, my hubby greeted me good morning and congrats. I figured, it was real. I hurried to the kitchen to get a glass of water and I saw three trophies on the drawer. One of my other housemates, Dane, congratulated me. Alright, alright, it was real. So last night, I won in 3 categories at the Philippine Blog Awards 2010: Top (Written) Posts for 2010: Fireworks, Hormones and this Blog Post Top Post for 2010: Do They Read Blogs in Heaven? Best Personal/Diary Blog: … [Read more...]

Something beautiful happened over the weekend. Last Sunday afternoon, October 24, 2010, members of Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles (GMCLA), along with their friends and supporters, came together at Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles to work on a project. They were to touch lives with the best way they knew --- singing. That afternoon, they produced this incredible video. I must say, I haven't cried this much in front of my computer monitor. And I'm in the office for crying out loud. I am moved by this. You can say whatever you want about the song but it expresses perfectly what … [Read more...]

kelly_clarkson_my_life_would_suck_without_you

Because updating Twitter and Plurk every whatever hour is too grueling a task for me (yeah, I'm lazy like that), why not deliver updates all at once every week? Wahaha. February na! Birthday season. Hahaay. Most of my friends are Februarians. And as I said before, unlike January which I have a love-hate relationship with, February is ALWAYS kind to me. And I know this year ain't gonna be different.  :D Kelly Clarkson is baaaaack! Although I actually think that My Life Would Suck Without You isn't one of her best singles, I'm just ecstatic she's back on top, making history. Hihi. She … [Read more...]

He sings, dances, acts on stage and screen, and he's [People Magazine's] "Sexiest Man Alive...." Hugh Jackman was announced Friday as the host of the 81st Academy Awards, a marked departure from the academy's standard of big-name comedians. Jon Stewart who hosted in 2008 and 2006, and Ellen DeGeneres, the 2007 host, were the latest in a line of funny emcees since 1990. Billy Crystal did it eight times, Whoopi Goldberg took on four, Steve Martin did it twice and David Letterman and Chris Rock each had a shot. As the parade of A-list comedians continued, ratings were in steady decline. But … [Read more...]

Fact of Life: Boobs Sell

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 this? Well, they say, to promote a positive image of the country. Hehehe. You think it's absurd? Welcome to the club! The rationale: the Israeli Consulate in New York found out that, … [Read more...]
