Sandara Park aka Dara of 2NE1 is on Twitter

Sandara Park is on Twitter! Yey!

She's tweeting in Korean characters... Booo!

Even though she is now known as Dara of the hit Korean group, 2NE1, many Pinoys still love her and will remember how she made it appear that to be a krung-krung is cool at the height of her popularity here in the Philippines.

Is Jolo Revilla the Real Life Sir Chief of Jodi Sta. Maria?


The news may no longer surprise anyone. For one, they are not an in-demand team-up, so good for them, because they can pursue their hearts' desires without anyone putting up online protests or fans who will threaten to "make saboy the asido" to any of them (very Kimerald ang peg hehe!).

Are Jolo Revilla and Be Careful with My Heart's very effective female lead, Jodi Sta. Maria, breaking the news about their rumored romance gently through Twitter?

Senator Tito Sotto on His Plagiarism Issue

OOPS, HE DID IT AGAIN....

End of post. He would not listen anyway. He would even mock those who are correcting his claims. Let's see what the future holds for this senator who makes Sen. Lapid look genius all of a sudden by continuously making himself look and sound like a fool.

Haaaaay....

PS:

Can't really help, but add more to this post. Sorry, Sen. Sotto, I just really think that until you have learned to be humble and apologize to whom it's due and stop copying other people's thoughts and translating other people's work, etc etc, the issue about plagiarism will haunt you. Oh boy, I can no longer remember your arguments about the RH Bill.

You paved the way for a new word to be discovered, one of the current Twitter trending topics, which is #Sinotto. This generally refers to any kind of original work (mostly songs) that are translated into Filipino. What led to such?

First, Sen. Sotto gave another speech (his last, hopefully), about RH Bill, but taunted his audience in the end by saying that - "The last part of his speech was in Filipino so that he would no longer be accused of plagiarism," as per the tweets of ANC.

Here are the other tweets that summed up that it really wasn't Sen. Sotto's lucky day yesterday.


After mocking his audience by stating, "nakakatawa sila," how could he and his family expect to get respect? The senator seems to have a hard time showing such not only to the commoners and "mere" bloggers who listen to his speeches, but also to the original creators of the words that he claimed as his own (he did not cite  nor thanked his references). 

This sums up his latest blunder that led to the creation of the word, "Sinotto."

These two images, I got from Facebook. These made me laugh. If only Sen. Sotto would stop thinking that he could get away with his blunders by being arrogant and he would instead apologize and admit his mistakes, he will not end up as a laughingstock like how many people now perceive him to be.

Credits to the original owners of these images:

When Sen. Sotto would not apologize to blogger, Sarah Pope, many people criticized him that made him think that he was being bullied in the cyberspace.


And now, with his latest booboo, comes this reaction:


What a legacy you will be leaving behind, Sen. Sotto. Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Vice Ganda VS Ate Gay

Ate Gay is one good comedian who is only waiting for the right opportunity to shine. He never fails to make me laugh whenever I catch him doing short skits and gags on his appearances at various local TV shows. He can make people laugh without degrading them (a lot) and this is what makes him different from more famous comedians, like Vice Ganda.

Vice Ganda's forte is to make people look bad and ugly and make them feel "tanga" in order to exude his audience' laughter.

When Ate Gay expressed his excitement on his Twitter account that he was tapped to replace Vice on It's Showtime while Vice would go on a break for weeks, I was happy. I just thought that finally, Ate Gay's time has come and wondered, "May babalikan pa kaya si Vice."

Well, they have different strengths, I guess. There are audiences, of course, who prefer Vice's style, but there are also those who have yet to discover the funny antics of Ate Gay. His quite famous skit, The Door, is frequently used on It's Showtime's rival, Eat Bulaga, by Allan K and the trio of Jose, Wally and Paolo.

Now that Vice is already on vacation, Ai-Ai delas Alas took his spot on the show. Something obviously happened, which led to these tweets of Ate Gay.


To add fuel to the fire, Ogie Diaz, Vice's former manager whom he also had an issue with in which Ogie until now, had chosen to remain silent about, retweeted Ate Gay's reply to one follower and added his comments as well.


ABS-CBN must once again help Vice get out of this mess before he could gain any more detractors, but they must also take a second look at Ate Gay. This one is certainly a diamond in the rough and a big threat to those who have already experienced success and let it gone into their heads.

The Hits and Misses at the Star Magic Ball 2012

While cramming for a deadline last night, I could not help but peek at the updates and photos about the annual Star Magic Ball at different online sites. I am not a fashion guru, but for my simple taste, here are my takes on how the Kapamilya stars have chosen to shine last night at the ball or made no effort at all in dimming their own lights.

Credits to the owners of the pictures below. I got most pictures from PushPEX and Twitter:

SUPAH HOT!
Those smiles spell one thing- HAPPINESS.
They really look like a real couple here.
They deserve the Couple of the Night award that they got.
Kim Chiu is Queen Chiu.
She has really mastered her fashion sense.
She amazingly looks like a real star.













Xian Lim, shining on his own without Kim by his side.
His time has finally arrived. Gwapo sobra (drools).
Super wow for Maja Salvador!
She looks like a goddess here and she rightfully
deserves the Female Star of the Night award that she got.
Julia Montes should have exchanged looks with Maja for the ball.
She looks as if she was groomed to appear quite older than her real age.
This night could have been her chance to let her youth shine by letting her hair down
and by wearing something like Maja's attire. Oh well, she won Sweetheart of the Night for this manang look.



 
Kathryn Bernardo is very pretty and this simple gown fits her age.
She's even prettier with cutie Daniel Padilla by her side.
I like Daniel better without his glasses though.
Their team-up won the Breakout Fashion Award


Bea Alonzo in a gown, which cannot be worn by those who have weak hearts.
It suited her though, her bulky yet shapely figure compliment the style and material of this creation.
Megan Young proves that not all morenas cannot shine in black.
What is she still doing in local showbiz? She ought to try modeling.
Shaina Magdayao strutting a sexy back, but this gown
would look better on Angelica Panganiban.
This is a pretty gown, but it does not suit Angelica Panganiban.
She should have traded gowns with John Lloyd Cruz' ex.
They are cute, literally. This is Ella Cruz, looking like she's enjoying her youth (ehem, Julia Montes) and partner.
Nikki Gil knows that she looks good with this kind of look,
so she appears at every special  Kapamilya event looking like this. It gets boring, girl.
It's a good thing that Billy Crawford looks dashing by your side.
Bianca Manalo, looking like a winner even though she was dateless that night.
Yeng Constantino looking like a sweetheart.
Maricar Reyes is another effortless beauty.
I'll include this on the hit list because this made me laugh.
This former Going Bulilit star stayed loyal to the night's theme, which is black and white.
He was like saying, "Take a back seat, Empoy. I am here."
Here's a list of the winners for this year's ball.

Jawdropping Stunner award- Bea Alonzo
Standout Star- Coco Martin
Prince and Princess of the Night- Julia Barretto and Julian Estrada
Sweetheart of the Night - Julia Montes
Hot Mama award - Carmina Villarroel
Hot Papa award - Gerald Anderson
Breakout Stlye Award - Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo
Stars of the Night - Enchong Dee and Maja Salvador
Fab Pair - Maricar Reyes and Richard Poon
Couple of the Night - Xian Lim and Kim Chiu
Star Magic Icons - Diether Ocampo and Angelica Panganiban. 

Dawn Zulueta may not have gotten any award that night,
but this picture proves that she's "unkabogable"
She's the rightful recipient of the award as the ball's stunner.
If there are hits, there are also lots of misses in the night's ball.
It is a beautiful gown, but worn by the wrong person.
Erich Gonzales looked better last year when she wore an orange gown that complimented her complexion.



It takes guts for someone like Enchong Dee to snatch something from Kuya Germs' closet.
I can already imagine him doing Walang Tulugan 40 years from now, and yeah, he won an award, sighs...
Bangs Garcia obviously wanted to win the Worst Dressed Award, and you did it girl.
You even got a bonus for also being the most deserving for the Worst hairdo award.
Did she do that on purpose? She looked like a caricature.
This is Myrtle, by the way, the winner of the last PBB Teens batch.
The gown is fabulous, but I cannot stare long at her picture. 
She's young, but in this picture, it's quite obvious that Andi Eigenmann has aged a lot after becoming a mom.
Charee Pineda in a gown that looks as if it was not intended for a glam ball.
I'll end this post on a positive and yummy note. OMG, Enrique Gil, you deserve the Hot Papa Award that night. Come on, ABS-CBN, this one looks to be the most fitting for the role of Captain Barbell.


PS:

In my own humble opinion, my best dressed and stand out stars who shone the brightest, exuding excellent taste in fashion and confidence for this one-night and once in a year only affair are:
