First thing’s first: NOT WHAT I’VE EXPECTED.

=========
Storyline: 6.0
Post Production: 4.5
Script Cont: 3:0
Casting: 9.5 ( I just dont like Andi at all)
=========

I was really not expecting that the movie will be that bad that I’m not even excited to finish the movie.
Compared to Kimmydora, which is a perfect 10, Mamarazzi is an epic fail.
Sad to say, i dont think it’ll even reach half of what Kimmydora earned.

All the press and promotions for mamarazzi were just plain public relations.
The only good thing about the movie were the hot men on it.
Who wouldn’t agree?
Diether Ocampo? Aaron Villaflor? Xian Lim? Carlo Guevarra?
Gawd. It’s like watching gay porn on cinema.

The pacing of the movie is really fast. It jumps from one scene to another. Sometimes, the next scene is not even connected with the previous. And what bugs me the most is the ice-skating scene when they did a song and dance number. Akala ko nanonood ako ng pelikula na ginawa noong 90’s. Uso yun noon diba? Yung out of nowhere biglang kakanta at sasayaw yung mga tao sa paligid kasama yung bida? I just dont like it. I just dont.

There’s even a deus ex machina on the end. I just dont wanna spill the beans for those who are still planning to watch it.

My suggestion: Watch it then decide for yourself. Or better yet, DONT WATCH IT AT ALL.

OVER-ALL RATING: 4.0

XOXO.

TAGALOG NA ANG BLOG KO! =)

After one hundred years of thinking, napagdesisyunan ko na magsulat sa Filipino.

Matagal ko na din namang pinagiisipan kung dapat bang magsulat nalang talaga ako sa Tagalog para mas ma-express ko pa ang mga bagay na kailangang ma-express ng Major Major.

Salamat kay Venus Raj at sa suggestion ni 1969 Ms. Universe Gloria Diaz.

This is an intervention.

Kailangan ko daw kasing mas magsulat sa Filipino or else..

MAGIGING BEAUCONERA AKO.

ayaw ko nun.

VENUS RAJ =)

Ask me anything

THE MS UNIVERSE POST

I cant seem to move on with Miss Universe 2010.

I am satisfied with the results, Im just quite frustrated, to say the least.
Well, if you are actually watching the live show and you’re a Filipino, everytime you hear Venus Raj’s name, I know you’ll go loco.
I actually watched it with my friends (Tet, Beyonca, Miko and Miko’s Gf and Mom). Imagine how loud we can get. Hahaha
From 83 beautiful ladies, they were trimmed down to 15. And yes, Venus was one of the top though she was called last.
She was called last so imagine our faces while the first 14 were called.
Among those who were included in the Top 15 were (on the position that they were called)

Puerto Rico (who has sleepy eyes)
Mariana Vicente

Ukraine
Ann Poslavska

Mexico (super beautiful)
Jimena Navarrete

Belgium
Cilou Annys

Ireland
Rozanna Purcell

South Africa (who looks like Leighton Meester)
Nicole Flint

France (which has an ironic national costume)
Malika Menard

Australia (there’s just something wrong with how she look)
Jesinta Campbell

Jamaica (who is my bet besides Venus)
Yendi Phillipps

Russia (who is an unexpected entry)
Irina Antonenko

Albania (who has super pouty lips)
Angela Martini

Colombia (an early crowd favorite)
Natalia Navarro

Guatemala (did you see her eyebrows during the entire show?)
Jessica Scheel

Czech Republic (who has eyes to die for)
Jitka Valkova

and the last called was the Philippines (WOOOOOAAAAHHH!)
Venus Raj

After the swimsuit competition, they were trimmed down to 10 where Russia, France, Czech Republic, Belgium and early favorite, Colombia were removed.

So the Top 10 that were left (Based on their swim wear scores) were:

Jamaica (9.426)

Mexico (9.265)

Philippines (8.957)

Ireland (8.784)

Australia (8.543)

Puerto Rico (8.443)

Ukraine (8.333)

Albania (Tied with South Africa at 8.229)

South Africa (Tied with Albania at 8.229)

Guatemala (8.071)

As expected, I know that Venus will rock this part, she ranked third after Mexico and Jamaica.

When the ladies went out to show their evening gown, I know Venus will be hanging by a thread because compared to the other girl’s gowns (besides Australia’s of course), her gown is mediocre. From the big ribbon to the color that didn’t match her skin, a perfect combination for a total-outta-Ms-universe-already. But hey, she made it to top 5. In fact, she is fifth place in the evening gown (good riddance).

So the top 5 that were left (order based on their evening gown score)

Mexico (8.913)

Jamaica (8.884)

Australia (8.841)

Ukraine (8.743)

Philippines (8.714)

I think she’s not expecting to be part of the 5 so when she was called last (again), I felt her nerves. Her movements on the stage showed her nervousness. Oh well, who wouldn’t be? From 83 to 5?

Mexico and Ukraine has translators which means they have time to think about their answers while their interpreter translates. This is where the unexpected happens. When Venus was asked by Judge #2, William Baldwin the question: What was the one big mistake that you did in your life? And what did you do to make it right? She answered will full confidence: “In my 22 years of existence there is nothing major major problem I’ve done because I’m confident in myself and my family. Thank you for being here…. …Thank you , Thank you very much..”

Well that was one Big Mistake she made. Many people are quite disappointed by what happened but hey, who wouldn’t? She’s nervous and all, and besides, being on top 5 is already a big thing. I just felt that she could’ve answered the question better, but she did not. Well, she could’ve brought up her dethroning issue but she did not. Again, major frustration. But hey, this event is 11 years in the making. The last time we’re on this spot was 11 years ago when Miriam Quiambao bagged the 1st place. It’s a MAJOR achievement specially for our dethroned beauty, Venus. You just missed a chance but don’t worry, whatever people say, you’re still a Runner-up and you’re still beautiful.


XOXO,

Hi Hun,

Earlier today, I decided to have my hair colored grey. I was so excited because this is really different from my usual style. Quite deviant from normal.

So there I was, after taking a bath, went to Bench Fix at Glorietta 4. Waited for a minute or so then I was accomodated. Hair color for short hair is Php 1,400. Expensive eh? For my really short hair, I think it is. Well, I just wanna try so whatever, I still continued.

I was informed by Amy, the hairstylist that they need to bleach my hair first so that we can “ACHIEVE” (the term he used) the color we want to have. I trusted him, well, he’s the expert anyways. After experiencing the staggering 25 minutes of heat under the steamer (not to mention the bleach that burns my scalp), my hair was rinsed. To my dismay, I was informed that they still need to do another round of bleaching. In short, another round of suffering. I am already sweating like a pig during the second round. But the hell, I dont care, I want this.

After another 25 minutes, I looked like a newborn chick. With yellow hair and all that.

Well, not exactly like him, but the hair has resemblance. Hahaha

After that, they rinsed my hair again and then applied the grey solution. This time, I felt my body shaking. My scalp burned like hell. Like hell. I severed that for another 20 minutes. My mindset is that I am like one of the ANTM contestants on a make-over, but I cant take out the fact that my scalp is still BURNING SH*T.

After 2-hours-and-so-minute, here is the finished product:

(with Revo)

UPDATE: Since I feel that my hair is not colored properly, I had it fixed @ Ystilo Salon in Pasong Tamo. Deym did they rocked my do up! Salute to you Juris! You’re the best hair stylist! EVER!

I HATE THE WAYS

I hate the way you smile at me like you were always free.

I hate it when you used to tell me you are there to stay.

I hate to think of the times we’re together

Coz every memory makes me linger; makes me bitter, hurt, then it all made me suffer.

I hate to see that we’re through and I just keep on falling.

I also hate to see that you’re sad, and yet, you’re with another.

What I can do before, I tried to stay for you

But nothing worthwhile is happening so I just need to move on too.

And what you did, I tried to learn from them so I wont hurt myself for the same reasons.

But all kinds of pain, you did to me, so I don’t know if there’s more to learn.

I hate it when I think I love you,

But I think this is the perfect time to let you go.

biSEXuaLOVE.

i_support_love_sticker-p217234616259919818tdcj_210Bisexual people are growing. I mean, their number. Or better yet, our number. Funny but true, we don’t need to be born for us to populate. We grow by the minute, if not, by the second. Nothing new eh? As per the latest survey, 4 out of 6 men you see on the streets everyday are gay. So don’t wonder if that bulky hunk standing on the bus or your seatmate in the internet shop is plucking his eyebrows or exploring planetromeo.com. Don’t be shocked, like what I’ve said,  it’s not something new.

In this article, let me discuss what gay guys are looking for in a relationship. (Got this topic when I was conversing with my friend Yna last night). Anyways, I’ll be excluding myself in this writing. I mean, I’ll be writing this as a writer, and not as a member of the third sex.

If there’s one thing that I can say regarding relationships between gay people (and by gay I don’t mean the crossdressers.no offense guys), I found out that they are looking for three things: first, physical appearance (c’mon. 80 percent of gay guys do, if you don’t, you belong to the elite twenty percent) second, sexual preference (top or bottom, versa’s better), and finally, personality. I arranged them from first to last priority, but if you disagree, I am 100 percent sure that those three are on your top five list or if you said they’re not, either you’re just a sore loner loser or just a whore-one nighter. And don’t even say that I am wrong. Because I am always right. Right? =)

First. Physical appearance. Way back, gay people look for straight men to be their partner. Some of them still look for those kind now. But ladies and gentlemen, wake up. The truth is, if you are a straight person, just the sheer thought of having a relationship with the same sex gives you the creeps. So what part of having a relationship with the same sex gives them the idea that they’re straight? Just for fun? For trip? Answer is: NONE. They’re not straight and they will never be. Truth is, once you laid hands or once you share something intimate with the same sex, you’ll always be gay.  Like a scar left from a deep wound. It will never be the same again.  Going back, let’s all be honest here. Who would wanna date someone who’s not goodlooking or presentable at least? Some say it’s a plus, but hey, keep it real. It’s not a plus, it’s what you want. Pretty buff guys dig pretty buff guys. That’s a fact. Kanto tambay gays also want pretty buff guys but end up being frustrated coz pretty buff guys do not like them. That is how things operate in this gay century. So for kanto gays to grab a pretty buff guy, he should be like him first.

Next: sexual preference. Normal thing I read from gay chat boxes on the internet: “R U Top/Bot/ Versa?”. It’s the new NASL in the gay world. You should be sexually fit for your partner. I mean, one should be the plug and the other should be the socket. Being both top is fine but most of top people with top partners still dig bottom kids (without the knowledge of their partner. Haha. Wake up!) If you’re not sexually fit for your partner, most of the time, the relationship will not last long. Or if it does, ask the couple what magic they have in the relationship. =) Kidding aside, sexual taste matters. It’s what keeps the relationship of two gay people burning, not different from straight peeps. Some even do unearthly stuffs to get satisfied, just watch “SHORTBUS” for you to know what I mean. So people, sexual preference, top two.

Last but not the least, the quality that has always been taken for granted: personality. In a perfect world, this should be on the top of the list. But in a gay world like ours who sees Dingdong Dantes as the perfect male epitome and Dr. Belo, their fairy god mother, no one will be satisfied. Personality should be the top quality but it’s rather left at the bottom for the losers, they said. Gay peeps should check first the personal qualities of people they are trying to have relationsips with so that we can save time, and also save hearts.

I know it’s not easy, but waiting and choosing the right person is all worth the wait in the end. Choose quality over quantity. Love making with the person you want to spend the rest of your life with is always feels better than having sex with some random guys every night.

Being in a gay relationship is not easy. Who says it is? Been there, done that, and what I do now, just oversee what’s happening and saying what I have observed. CIAO!

BINGRY. (when bitterness turns to anger)

I hate new moons
You know it’s somewhere there
But you can barely see it. Funny?

I hate hotdogs and eggs
Coz I don’t feel quite right
Seeing them together. Silly?

Im starting to hate everything
Then I realize it’s you I’m hating most

Go on pretend that you’re someone else
And believe the little lies you’ve made.
Start spreading the glamour you said you have
Imagine everything is true.
But I wish you’ll realize that the only person in the party is you.

I hate fine dining on weekends.
But whispered to me, you actually do like ‘em.
You also told me you dig staying on hotels
‘Coz you love eating European breakfast.

I hate seeing red cars
Specially when it’s parked in front of my room.
Because it’s your way of saying
I’ve found someone better than you.

Im starting to hate everything
Then I realize it’s you I’m hating most
I’m hating you the most

Go on pretend that you’re someone else
And believe the little lies you’ve made.
Start spreading the glamour you said you have
Imagine everything is true.
But I wish you’ll realize that the only person in the party is you.

Stop fooling around messing people’s lives.
You’re just a piece of meat and that’s all you’re gonna be.
Karma’s a bitch, can’t wait for it to hit you.
Coz that’s the only time I can see all the hate die.
Then I’ll start loving new moons and eat hotdogs and eggs again.
