Why I Love Jade Lopez – The Real Survivor!

STARSTRUCK BATCH 1: They dreamed, believed and survived!

STARSTRUCK BATCH 1: They dreamed, believed and survived!

HERE’S ANOTHER INTERESTING TRIVIA ABOUT ME: I am a big Starstruck Season 1 Fan.

Yes I really am! I was one of those high school students who got hooked and thrilled with the very first reality-based artista search in the Philippines. I was one of those internet addicts who would regularly post in forums and Yahoo Groups just to keep in touch with co-fanatics. You can ask me some information about them and there is a big chance that I’d give you the right answer.

I am not really sure if you are a regular viewer of the show, but some of its popular graduates of the first batch include Jennylyn Mercado, Mark Herras, Yasmien Kurdi, Rainier Castillo, Katrina Halili, Tyron Perez and Cristine Reyes.

Although the 14 Starstruck finalists were all talented and good-looking, there’s this one girl whom I really liked among the rest. Her name is Jade Lopez.

Alodia and Ashley Gosiengfiao Cosplay at TV5’s Grand Launch

I am not a Cosplay fanatic, but I learned to appreciate this artistic hobby upon meeting Alodia and Ashley Gosiengfiao in person last October 2009 at the Nuffnang Blog Awards. My friends and I were a bit intimidated with the two lovely sisters because we heard a lot of praises (and criticisms) about them. We are lucky enough because we were able to spend a whole day with them just touring around Singapore Lah!

Just last night, I saw them again at the backstage of TV5’s Grand Launch. Nice of them to approach me first and call my name! 🙂 It simply means one thing and I bet you guys know that 😛

Though I don’t really blog about cosplays and I never really tried to do anything related to it, I would like to share some of the photos of Alodia and Ashley Gosiengfiao taken during the TV5 Grand Launch. Mocha Girls lead singer Mocha Uson is a bonus too! Hope you guys and girls will like it! 🙂

Cristine Reyes’ Billboard for Belo Medical Group

If I’m not mistaken, Cristine Reyes was chosen as one of the celebrity endorsers of Belo Medical Group before she moved to ABS-CBN. Finally, the sexy actress now has her own Belo Medical Group Billboard as seen in Guadalupe.

Send Flowers to the Philippines this Valentines Day with Island Rose

It’s FEB-ibig month. What does that mean? It is the month wherein lovers get the chance to show how they love their current partner and be ‘extra’ romantic and expressive even just for a day. It is also a day wherein we let our female friends feel extra special.

Most girls do really appreciate it whenever someone gives them a rose for some reason. I remember my dad sending flowers to my mom, my grandmother and even to his one and only daughter on Valentines Day with flowers straight from Baguio City (he used to work there). To some people, buying flowers in the market or a flower shop can be very stressful (blame the traffic!) or it can also be time-consuming for the busy yuppies.

I recently discovered Island Rose, a website that Deliver Flowers to the Philippines. Yes, you can easily send these fresh flowers to the Philippines in just a few clicks in their website!

When The Person You Truly Love is Gay

‘Sa panahon ngayon, ruler na lang ang straight!’

Teh, sigurado kang straight yang katabi mo?

Teh, sigurado kang straight yang katabi mo?

Three years ago, Katrina Halili was launched as a lead movie actress via the sexy-comedy flick ‘Gigil’. It’s basically about a girl working in a call center who’s engaged to be married with her boyfriend for five years. The guy is almost perfect – family-oriented (or Mama’s Boy?), very neat (vain!), responsible and most of all, handsome. Who would have thought that the groom would runaway with the best man on the wedding day itself? It might sound like a funny scenario, but if that happened to me in real life, I’d end up crying for months.

BE all that you can BE! – BB Gandanghari

Last January 2009, the news broke out in National television that former matinee idol and action star Rustom Padilla is dead.

As expected, his loyal fans and the people in the showbiz industry were shocked with the news only to find out later on that Rustom Padilla didn’t really “die” literally. It’s just that the actor is back in the country with a different name and a different persona.

Women with Brave Hearts Shoots Cervical Cancer

Last Saturday, I got the chance to meet some of the members of Bravehearts, an NGO that aims to raise awareness on cervical cancer prevention in the Philippines.

A number of bloggers were invited for an intimate lunch meet-up. Romina, the ever kikay yet tough girl who invited me to this empowering event, served as the emcee that afternoon. She gave a little overview on Bravehearts like their past activities, tie-ups, celebrity endorsers and some of their future plans.

To be honest with you, I don’t really know much on Cervical Cancer. I just found out that Cervical Cancer is actually  the second most common cancer among Filipino women! This means that we girls must not only worry on the possibility of having breast cancer (the top most common cancer among women all over the world). The good news here is it’s never too late to undergo treatment or vaccination.

Dr. Becky Singson gave a short talk on the Cause, Stages and Prevention of Cervical Cancer among women. The talk made me realize that in the country, only a few is aware of the facts presented to us that afternoon. Thr group is planning to have regular screenings in different places in the Philippines. They’re also planning to conduct a number of blogger events which can help raise awareness about the group and how to prevent cervical cancer which are SVA, Cryotherapy and Vaccination (will tackle more on these on another blog entry to be posted soon).

Since we all want to “kill” the possibilities of having cervical cancer, we had a frightening yet fulfilling activity.

Micaela Rodriguez – The Model

Three years ago, I was an active blogger at my LiveJournal account. I was curious if my blog will show up once I search for the name “Micaela Rodriguez” at Google.

Much to my surprise, I found out that I am not the only Micaela Rodriguez living in this world. I was a struggling student way back, and the other Micaela Rodriguez is a model in Mexico.
