Ten reasons why I’m obsessed with Jhong Hilario

(This piece was written out of pure love and undying support for the hottest celebrity alive!)

1. He is a great actor. He has portrayed a lot of believable characters in his shows and movies.





2. He is a GREAT dancer. Need I say more?



3. A lot of people don’t know it but he sounds pretty good when he sings.



4. He is not the guy you will call handsome or cute but he is oozing with sex appeal!



5. He is insanely sexy with or without a T-shirt on!





6. He is one of the best judges in Showtime. He has the eye for real talent.

7. He never fails to entertain the “Madlang Pipol (Showtime audience)” with his energetic “samples(dance moves/singing /acting).” He’s a superhuman!



8. It’s weird to say this but he turns me on with his "Bakla-baklahan" with Vice Ganda.




9. He doesn’t act like a celebrity at all. He acts just like an ordinary person.

10. He is Jhong Hilario! I love him for who he is! :)

A Time To Kill (book review)

I’ve become a fan of John Grisham since I read Pelican Brief. He has a way of entertaining book lovers like me that made us want to collect his novels in our book shelves. If you're a fan of legal thrillers, you would love to read this book.

The story is set in Clanton Mississippi. Two white men Billy Ray Cobb and Pete Willard brutally rape a 10 year old black girl named Tonya Hailey. Carl Lee Hailey, the father of the black girl – kills them with an M-16. Because of his action and race (he is also black just like his daughter), he faces the murder trial that could send him to the gas chamber. Young and ambitious lawyer Jake Brigance handles his case. The case gets national attention, angers both whites and blacks and incites violence and brutal killings particularly since the Ku Klux Klan gets involved...
Does the black man get off the case? You can only find the answer to that question if you read this novel.

This novel assails the reader questions that are more challenging than that. Which is right: to let the vigilante walk a free man or fry him in the gas chamber? Does Carl Lee have the right to kill the men responsible for damaging his daughter’s life? As a black man does he deserve to get off the case? Does death penalty have to exist? The answers are usually up to the reader. But then this novel can change the way you think. If you were a racist it can convert you to a non-racist. If you think that Carl Lee shouldn’t have killed the rapists, you will realize that if you were in his place you will feel the urge to do the same. If you think death penalty should not exist, you will realize that people like Billy Ray and Pete deserve it.

A legal thriller supposed to have a realistic crime story, legal terms and from time to time - informal language so it wouldn’t be a bore. A Time to Kill has all these characteristics. It’s more than a good read. It’s a forceful, deeply emotional and well-crafted novel.

Sensational rock group Stone Temple Pilots has a new single!

You heard it right. The rock legends are back!
After six years of waiting, fans of alternative rock band Stone Temple Pilots (STP) are now excited to know that they will be entertained by them once more. STP recently released their new music video Between the Lines on YouTube. It is their first single from their new album that is set to release on May 25th.

So what do we expect from the band that has come back after six years? Do we expect the old sound that we loved? Or a new sound that fits this pop-rock age? Whatever it is, we are sure that this band will not disappoint us. Their music will be a lot more powerful and their lyrics more genuine and emotional. They will rock the house!

For those who haven't seen the music video of Between the Lines, here it is.

Dolores Claiborne (book review)

Dolores Claiborne is the second Stephen King novel I’ve read and enjoyed so much. (The first was Gerald’s Game which is connected to it.) It tells a story about a woman who conquered unimaginable struggles for her loved ones.
For thirty years, people from Little Tall Island could only think that it was Dolores Claiborne who killed her husband Joe St. George, on the day of the total eclipse. She indeed killed him to save her children from their abusive father but got away from the murder charge. Now she is facing the interrogation of the police for it is believed that she killed her wealthy ill employer, Vera Donovan. During her interrogation – she tells about her experiences as Vera’s housekeeper, miserable family life and deep hatred for her husband, confessions about how Joe and Vera died and the nightmares which haunted her. She told the police everything they got to know hoping that she will be freed from the murder charge...
This novel is horrific and poignant. You will never forget Dolores’ struggles.

First-time voter

I’m proud to say that it's my first time to vote for the national elections. Like everyone else, I waited for a while in the line just to cast my vote. When I entered my ballot in the PCOS machine, I was relieved that the machine read it. I just hope that my preferred candidates will win the elections. If not, the ones elected should do their job well.

Good day for those who voted wisely. :)

Jovit and Ruther -PGT's first batch of grand finalists

Last night Jovit Baldivino and Ruther Urquia made it to the next level. They were the ones chosen to be in the grand finals of Pilipinas Got Talent because they received the biggest votes from the audience and judges.

For those who missed their performances, here are their video clips.

Jovit Baldivino is sure to be grand winner of PGT

Talent shows on TV are the things I keep on looking forward to these past few months. The Pilipinas Got Talent is one of which has conquered the country because it has entertained Filipino homes for two months now. Last Saturday they held their semifinalists’ performance night at AFP Theater. Their performances in the theater were different from the audition as expected.
Snap Boiz amazed the crowd with their intense break-dance number. Rolando P. belted a classic ballad, Kahit Isang Saglit. The Baguio siblings showed their grace and flexibility in their sports dance number. Ruther Urquia entertained the young at heart as he played with his puppets. Everyone was fairly pleased with their performances until the last semi-finalist entered the stage. Jovit Baldivino emerged like a rockstar as he kept the crowd screaming loudly. He made them wilder with his powerful rendition of Carrie. At this point in time, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jovit will be the first grand winner of PGT because he has captured the audience with his magnificent performance. The standing ovation he got from the audience and judges proved that he is everyone’s favorite among the semi-finalists.
