I’m happy she won again as governor of the province of Batangas, Philippines. I live in Manila, but Im originally from Batangas city. Up until this past election last May 10, 2010, I thought Governor Santos or as we fondly call her, Ate Vi, has not done anything visible …

The Buffalo Bills seem to be fighting back this season but have to be concerned about an injury to starting cornerback Terrence McGee.
McGee isn’t a name you are going to hear mentioned among the league’s top corners. But, that probably has more to do with where he plays than …

I think Kelly Ripa must be superwoman! She has three children and works full time on her morning show, “Live With Regis And Kelly”, as well as running a production company with her husband Mark. Not only that, I am always amazed at how great she looks …

Laura Morett was a contestant on season nineteen of Survivor which was based in Samoa.
At first she came off as someone who clung to others such as the younger girls in her group. In fact she was very unlikeable from the start of the series.
Laura may have been …

Jeffery Archer is one of my most favourite authors. He’s also one of the best that I’ve read. I simply love his stories. Jeffery Archer’s stories are absolutely brilliant and all are testament to his own genius.
I’ve read a few other authors like Frederick Forsyth, Sidney Sheldon etc. but …

I was excited when the Packers hired Dom Capers to be their defensive coordinator at the start of this past season. And, after seeing him in action this year, I can’t wait to see him back next year.
The Packers made a major defensive philosophy change this season; switching from …

A few years ago, the San Francisco 49ers had an opportunity to choose Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers with the first overall pick in the draft. They went with Alex Smith instead. Rodgers is now entering his second season as the Packers starter after putting up impressive numbers …

Actress Genie Francis is best known for being the female half of the Luke and Laura sensation that captured America in the 80’s and elevated soaps into national awareness. She, and co-star Anthony Geary, were probably the most known performers from any soap opera, including the one they …

Well, it’s time for Chikezie to go home. He was the first of the last ten finalists to get his walking papers on the show. I actually liked this young man. I didn’t expect him to sound the way he does. There are elements of …

While I wouldn’t call Tilda Swinton one of my favourites, I have to say I’m quite fond of her as an actress as well as some of the characters that she plays. Chances are that if you’re not a film buff, you’ve probably never really heard her name, since …

I can no longer tolerate the widespread exaltation of this writer! And now I want to express my opinion about the work of this mediocrity.
Paulo Coelho is a talentless Brazilian writer with an inflated sense of grandeur, popular among stupid people.
Coelho was a frequent visitor of mental hospitals …

Mariah Carey the previous years and Mariah Carey as of current is a totally different person. I love her music extremely much and I have been following closely her news because I’m a big fan of her. Her songs ‘Always be my baby’, ‘Hero’ are truly inspiring and …

I remember Tom Selleck from his bit role on Bracken’s World, back in the late 60’s. I loved that show. He was tall and good looking. I certainly noticed him. He did some other small roles before being one of the big new, young leads in …

I see the New York Jets are going to try to replace injured Leon Washington with a familiar face in Justin Miller.
Miller, a reserve cornerback, is obviously not Washington’s replacement at running back on offense (I believe they have a guy who can do that already). But, he does …

One of my favourite young actresses is a sixteen year old Irish actress named “Saoirse Ronan”. I understand her rather unusual first name is Gaelic, and so it’s pronounced as “Sare-sha”.
I’ve been following the works of this young lady since the movie “Atonement” and I can most definitely …

I see the Cleveland Browns signed running back Noah Herron today. I would say it is an interesting move but I have a hard time believing it’s a transaction that will end up meaning too much once training camp is over with.
Herron has always been a guy with potential. …

Earlier in the season, Scott Wells was benched in favor of Jason Spitz on the belief Spitz was the better center on the Green Bay Packers roster. He is proving right now exactly why the team elected not to trade him even after that.
Compared to other Packers’ centers, I …

I was reading an article earlier today that said Green Bay Packers tight end Donald Lee could be on his way out because the Packers are so loaded at the position.
If that is the case, I certainly hope the Packers at least attempt to trade Lee since he would …

I love Katie Holmes, the actress because she is someone that I think embodies a gentle and nice true-natured spirit of a lady. And she’s such a lovely mom, I love seeing the pictures of her and baby Suri, coming to be 2 in malls and stuff like that.
But …

When I first heard of Kim Kardashian I knew she was a friend of Paris Hilton. I also knew she was very beautiful, of Armenian descent and had a sex tape with rapper Ray J.
I wasn’t sure what to think at first, the thought she was a fame …

Richard Long was a terrific actor who left this Earth much too young. I first saw him as Jarrod Barkley on The Big Valley. He was the oldest brother, the level-headed lawyer who sometimes had to leave logic behind to side with emotion. He was perfect …

When I heard the Green Bay Packers were hiring Kevin Greene to coach their outside linebackers, I wasn’t sure what to think at first. But, after some thought, I think this is going to be a good move for a defense in transition.
As I’ve mentioned before and is highly …

I’m not one of those people who has an interest in mainstream music, so I’m generally one of the last people to find out about certain popular songs even if some people have heard them playing on the radio for ages. The same thing happened when a few of Sam …

I first had a glimpse of Dennis Trillo’s handsome face in a tv commercial. I then thought he really is so cute. Until one time gma7 included him in a drama show. And gosh!. he is so good for a new comer. He acts as if he’s been in …

I have been listening to Nicki Minaj for quite a while now, and find her music really worth listening to. Her sound and look is unique from other artist out today. I love her sound because it is different and she can sing and rap. She has become really …

I’m usually a person who believes in giving NFL coaches a chance before trashing them. But, I really can’t see what the Denver Broncos saw in coach Josh McDaniels when they hired him last year.
First, he has done nothing to turn around the team’s fortunes. They went through the …

Years ago, when I was in my early 20s, I became completely infatuated with a young heartthrob from Florida by the name of Johnny Depp. Back then, my fascination for this sexy teen idol was generally due to his dreamy eyes and not so much for his acting skills. …

Miss Avelina Manalo was my piano teacher. She was one of the greatest pianists and teachers in the Philippines. In her youth, she won scholarships to Europe and Russia and opened her own piano school. In her last years, she still taught as a professor at …

One of my favourite young actresses, especially at a certain period of time had to be the English actress Juno Temple. This has nothing to do with her being in the same age group as me, but a certain ability that she has where she can make any movie …

Stephanie Meyer is a relatively new author to me; she’s the author of The Host and the teen romance Twilight series. I didn’t want to read the books at first because there was such a hype around it, not to mention a bunch of movies based on the books …

Some time ago, the Houston Texans made a bit move by stealing away Atlanta Falcons backup Matt Schaub to be their starting quarterback. At the time, I said it was a mistake.
A couple seasons later, I honestly haven’t seen any proof I was wrong with that opinion.
My problem with …

John Cena is a wrestler in the WWE and this guy is just freaking awesome. His music is so cool and so is his entrance because his music pumps me up and when he comes running out and runs to the ring it gets the crowds wild up and …

After watching the buzz today, (the buzz is a talk show) I just have to comment on one of its host, Kris Aquino. Well she is most probably one of the most talkative and straight forward people in the show business here in the Philippines. A lot of labels …

Edward Furlong is a very interesting case. He had no plans to become an actor when a casting agent offered him to try for the part of John Connor in Terminator-2. Edward got the part… How lucky is that?? Terminator-2 hit it big, you’d think Edward’s acting career was …

I have first known Mandy Moore in her first music video, Candy. At that time, I did not like her image. I thought she was just too overacting, too flirty, and needs more practice on singing as I was not impressed on the quality of her voice. She was …

Way back when, I remember my parents insisting on watching some football movie. I really had no interest in it, but I found myself watching it anyway. Okay, big correction. This wasn’t a football movie, this was a TV drama about the courage of one man …

Who likes Miley Stuart ? I don’t know why, but I don’t like her at all. It’s maybe because I’m jealous of her, but she is too innocent for me. Not many people at my friends like her. How did she become so famous? Her songs are catchy but …

This gorgeous Russian model, Ruslana Korshunova had died and the mystery cause surrounding her death is not being investigated further, or perhaps there has been investigations going on but no one knows.
She was believed to have committed suicide but her friends did not believe it, because she was …

Since the Green Bay Packers are making a transition from a 4-3 defense to a 3-4 defense, there has been a lot of talk about the different defensive personnel on the team and which ones will be able to make the transition and what their new roles might be.
Interesting …

When Rory Cochrane was on CSI: Miami he played my favorite character, Tim “Speed” Speedle. Unfortunately by the time I started watching CSI: Miami his time on the show was over, and I was about five seasons late; however, I have seasons 1 and 2 only because those were …

Father Frank Pavone is a priest known for his pro-life activities. He is the head of the organization Priests for Life. This is a very large organization with outreaches to all people, not just Catholics or Catholic priests. Father Pavone and his staff have put together …

Ok, I’m reading today that the Buffalo Bills might be hiring Chan Gailey as their next head coach.
What the heck are they drinking in that town?
Look, I like Gailey. But, only as a coordinator, not as a coach. The guy couldn’t even hold onto his play calling duties in …

If you have seen “Trainspotting” then you have been privy to the wonderful acting skills of Robert Carlyle. As Francis Begby, he demonstrated the superb ability to portray a completely sadistic, slightly psychotic Scotsman with a penchant for random violence. This role seems to be …

The first time I really took notice of the actress Kristen Stewart was when she was in “Panic Room” with Jodie Foster. She made a good impression on me that time, and I found that I wanted to see her in other movies, and over the years I found …

I think that actress Zoe Bell is a chick-flick that is understated. She is active and I think she acts pretty good. I’ve watched her acted in Hercules TV Series before, and that’s why I think she is a chick-flick that has yet to be found as an …

While I mentioned that I have a love for dance music from the nineteen nineties, there was a point in my life that I began to like pop and dance hits and even new wave from the eighties a little bit more. There were a couple of people who …

I always loved Bob Ross. I watched him since a teen on THE LOCAL PBS channel. Once I started painting seriously I knew what my next birthday gift would have been. Finally once I turned 32 last year, I had the pleasure to open my first Bob Ross painting …

With three decades of notoriety as a star performer, Madonna has demonstrated that her marketing skills complement her star quality in singing, dancing, and even acting. When she started out it was the era of the birth of MTV and her sexy videos caused a fan base of …

I do really admire the late Corrie Ten Boom, a world famous evangelist. Her life story has been a shining inspiration to me to be obedient to the heavenly vision. I consider her a purpose-driven woman with a burning passion for the non-christians. At the beginning of World War …
