Rated A by the Cinema Evaluation Board, Ploning’s initial drum-beating had much to do with Judy Ann Santos taking on the title role in a film touted to be this year’s most lyrical and poetic filmmaking effort. There’s even a coffee table book that was launched recently at M Café, Ayala Museum, something we’ve seen highly artistic Hollywood films like Moulin Rouge also have. So with all the noise, critical thumbs up and marketing hoopla, the question left burning in my mind was whether the film’s viewing would actually live up to all the fanfare.
I Am: Looking for:
Some drum-beaters will make it sound like watching the film is as easy to take as the tiniest of pills, that it will go down effortlessly and hit the spot. I’d rather take the tack that the film is not of your common-garden variety, and is definitely not your regular boffo box-office formula movie. Rather, like a great classical music opus, it is a dense work of art, one that requires one’s full attention and patience, but one that ultimately rewards the viewer who makes the effort. At its heart, it is a love story, one of destiny, missed chances, frustration and commitment. And then, there’s the layer of the film that treats the Cuyo village in Palawan as a living organism, giving the film character and texture, subtly acting as a force in its own, directing events and destiny. There are instances when the ritual and ceremony of the community makes the film act like a ethnographic testimony to the Cuyo life - and I say that as a compliment because it renders the film educational and informative beyond the emotive storytelling that drives the plotlines. Also challenging is the fact that much of the film’s dialogue is in the local dialect, with Filipino subtitles helping understand what’s going on.

My most recent tattoo is a picture of Marilyn Monroe on my left wrist because I have always admired the actress as a person. I have a tribal of two waves on my other forearm because I surf and is obsessed with the ocean. Apparently the tattoo did not turn out as I wanted the tattoo artist was smoking weed. I will likely remove this tattoo at some point I have one on my back that says“We will all laugh at gilded butterflies” its a quote from Shakespeare to me it means not to get too caught up in Hollywood or everyone will end up laughing at you Then I have a poem written by me on my ribcage: “There once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her heart”. I have symbol for strength on my neck Then I have one of Brian Austin Green’s name Then I have star and moon symbol on my ankle.

LOS ANGELES - Actress Megan Fox was named the world’s sexiest woman on Wednesday by an annual online poll, while the world’s most Googled woman, Britney Spears, barely scraped in at No. 100 after a shocker of a year.
Fox, 21, who starred in last year’s hit movie “Transformers,” grabbed the title from actress Jessica Alba, 26, topping online men’s magazine FHM Online’s reader poll of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World for 2008.
Alba dropped to No. 3, coming behind American actress and former model Jessica Biel but ahead of Canadian actress Elisha Cuthbert who was ranked fourth after appearing in horror movie “Captivity” last year. U.S actress and singer Scarlett Johansson, 23, rounded out the top five.
“Megan Fox is the deserving winner of this year’s FHM title. She’s young, she’s hot, she’s a rising star and her sex appeal has definitely transformed this year’s list. She’s got a great future ahead of her,” said FHM Online U.S. Editor JR Futrell.
Fox debuted on the list at No. 68 in 2006 and was ranked No. 65 last year. But playing the lead female role in “Transformers,” a blockbuster $700 million hit at worldwide box offices, markedly raised her profile.
Also in the top 10 were Emmanuelle Chriqui, Hilary Duff, Tricia Helfer, Blake Lively and Kate Beckinsale. Read the rest of this entry »

JESUS and Satan were on a fight who was better in computer. They sat down at the keyboard and typed away. They did every known job, reports, emails, attachments, downloads, uploads, chats. But before the time was up, lightning came, thunder clapped, rain poured and electricity went off. Satan screamed every known curse in the underworld. When the electricity was back Satan had lost everything he’d done but beside him, JESUS quietly started printing all his files. Satan shouted, “You cheated!” But JESUS just shrugged, because He does what Satan doesn’t; HE SAVES!
