Ellen DeGeneres gave all Rin on the Rox fans a reason to smile again after the pair’s YouTube channel “Hiphoprox” got canned. Ellen invited Erin Paula and Roxanne, whom she referred to as “friends” to cover Sir Elton John’s Oscar Party! Rin on the Rox, though a little bit too bubbly did a great job interviewing Hollywood stars who stopped by their spot.

Yup, it appears that Rin On the Rox “violated” terms of YouTube but isn’t that what majority of users are doing if they call singing other people’s songs a violation of terms?!!

I don’t know anymore why I still watch Grey’s Anatomy now on its 5th season. There was a time when this Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning television show was at its best. Their peak was in Seasons 1-3, 2005 to early 2007 then it went downhill. The show is highly-acclaimed for its so called blind-casting, resulting in a racially diverse cast. It is also praised by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community and Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) group for its gay-themed storyline- a scarcity in primetime television these days. All is changed. I had faith in Shonda Rhimes, creator of the show but it is soon wading into oblivion.

The recent speculations that Katherine Heigl and TR Knight are leaving the show would have to be the clincher for me.

As the Finale for the breakout hit Survivor Philippines draws to a close, the true battle begins for the last five remaining castaways.

Perhaps everyone are heaving a sigh of relief that Marlon Carmen aka “the waiter,” the most disliked cutthroat and aggressive person (?) in the competition is already eliminated; and agreeably has now come down to the ‘brainy’ Charisse, the ‘driver’ Cris, the ‘hunky’ athlete, JC, the self-proclaimed ‘loverboy,’ Rob, and the endearing laundry woman, ‘nanay’ Zita, vying for that 3 million peso prize and the title FIRST “Sole Survivor.”

If this show does not excite Filipino TV viewers, I don’t know what does?!

Here’s Part two of the exclusive interview with Survivor Philippines’ only resident doctor. The ever cheery, at times self-effacing, definitely sharp and multi-talented, Dr. Zoe. Read on:

Considering that this show is literally about surviving amidst starvation, mind games and various intense physical challenges, and that is what the contestants have signed up for– still a medical and rescue team is most obligatory and essential in overseeing the castaway’s conditions without compromising the rules of the game.

Call me lucky to know a member of the production team! This is an exclusive two-part Q&A interview on one of the unsung “heroes” of the show….

Because I’m not into writing anniversary statements these days unlike before, I leave this repost of an entry from my former blog to commemorate the imposition of martial law 36 years ago:

Orapronobis as directed by Lino Brocka, is a film that tackles the awful human rights situation in the country during the Aquino administration.

While the portrayal of the Philippine condition won it critical acclaim abroad, the film never got shown in public theaters in the country at all.

An article (some parts have been left off for the purpose of brevity) from the circa 1980 alternative magazine MIDWEEK explains why:

Love of Siam

Tuesday
Sep 2,2008

Through the ages of mankind, the topic of LOVE is always been a favorite preference of any piece or work of art! It’s because LOVE is one of the foundation why we keep breathing and living in this world full of surprises. No matter what medium it is conveyed, the theme of love always moved people. It’s powerful and it’s domineering.

I stumbled one time reading comments on some sites and learned that many Rainbow advocates and supporters had watched the movie: Love of Siam. It is a Thai romantic-drama film. There is one scene that is a focal point of controversy (watch video below). It is simply a gay teen romance of two teenage boys (Mario Maurer as Tong and Witwisit Hiranyawongkul as Mew) but the film’s story revolves around the value of friendship, loving and being loved, family’s quest for unity of a loss member, separation and loneliness, identity crisis amidst affection, obedience of a son and protection of a mother, camaraderie and understanding of friends, musical talent and how gifted the young of today, infatuations and unrequited admirations as part of teen life, the many diversities of emotions, and of course, the right to choose the kind of sexual preference you want to live.

We all know that the Eraserheads reunion concert was cut short due to Ely Buendia’s poor health. He was rushed to the hospital just after the first set of songs. I was there at the concert.

Some fans proceeded to the backstage after the Eraserheads staff and the promoter left the venue. They found a piece of paper containing the full set list of what the band would have performed that night.

The Sexiest FHM Sexiest

Friday
Jul 25,2008

It’s no secret that Filipina women exude an appeal so “exotic” that men gravitate towards them. The modern Pinay is a contradiction, a go-getter who could be painfully shy, career-oriented yet, could also be the most domesticated person. No wonder Pinoys find their women sexy.

Just look at the FHM and any other magazines designed for men, and look at how the sexiest polls go… or, how sexy stars’ used bikinis sell like hotcakes at online auctions (as if they’re mega stocks in the market). Thanks to FHM, Pinays are hotter than ever.
