The Big Boy That Was Almost The Little Boy

4 comments


Just saw "Little Boy/Big Boy" on its special premiere last night at the Robinson's Galleria with the whole cast (the child actor was not allowed to watch it of course) and crew including the director Jay Alterejos and screenwriter Lex Bonife (who provided me 2 premiere tickets for the movie, thanks Lex! Loved your cameo appearance!).

That was the first time I saw Lex in person, second for Mr. Alterejos. Mr. Danton Remoto was also there to introduce Direk Jay. The movie was great, in my own opinion. I don't have any background or experience in film directing or production but I can say the film was a great improvement from past films (Parola, Lihim & Kambyo) in terms of cinematography, sound, musical score & most especially and importantly the acting. Not that those previous films lacks in any of those categories.

I like the fact that in some scenes, Robinson's character "Tim" acts like a baby brother (or lover) to Rivero's character. I find it very cute 'cos I sometimes act up like that to June, LOLz! We have our own little ways of making pa-cute to our own boyfriends and I am one guilty person on that!

I was holding June's hands throughout the film (like any other films we've seen, gay or mainstream) and I kept on pressing on him hard every time there's a touchy scene. Oops! No spoilers, it's a good movie you'll have to watch it. I like the way they ended the story, different and very uplifting from any Pinoy gay-themed film I've seen.

It's a touchy movie. And I love the cheesy moments on the film especially the "Ano, tayo na ba?" part. There were a couple of lines (and scenes) who were as if derived from my very own experience and I guess every Pinoy gay guy on the planet had felt and experienced such. I can relate to the two male lead characters, Raymond (played by Paolo Rivero) and Tim (played by Douglas Robinson). Been on the same boat one way or the other. The monogamity in a relationship, faithfulness and trust to each other. I have never had an open relationship. I understand some people are fine with it but I'm not.

The story reminds me of the movie "Shelter" about two gay guys trying to be with each other and has a kid to raise and I loved the movie dearly I wish I had the original DVD. But this movie will serve an inspiration to me and for June & I and also hope to everyone out there who is in a relationship right now.

It's so hard to find someone, somebody who will love you faithfully and with all their hearts out. So if you have that someone by your side, hold on tight and grab that ring when it's already possible!

I must say it's getting better and better every time! I am so proud of the entire Pinoy gay indie film industry! Kudos!


Girl Power of the 90's

0 comments


I will be featuring songs from the Girl Groups of the 90's all month of August.

OF course, I'll be throwing in some girl power songs from 2000's onwards.

I'm a child of the 90's, that's the era where most of the music that I've listened to came from.

Expect music from the Spice Girls, TLC, All Saints, Solid HarmoniE, M2M among others next month.

M.Y.M.P. - A Little Bit

0 comments


This is were it all started! I loved M.Y.M.P. because of this song, and the next set of songs that came after.

I heard this a few days ago on my boyfriend's music player and I instantly went back in time when I got hooked on Juris' voice! Woah!

Ever since he started at GMA-7's "Starstruck" last 2007 I've always been vocal here about him winning the competition and be a huge star someday.

And now that is almost a reality with these photos and of course his top rating TV series "All My Life".

Pet Society Addiction

0 comments


I started playing Pet Society just around the time I started using Facebook back in February of this year.

My pet which I aptly named after my hubby, "Shih Tzu" was just a newbie. No much stuff on his house, few friends and low experience.

After a few months, I managed to reach a status where I can buy items for my pet. He has a lot of friends he can play with.

I was able to have some of my friends join Pet Society too!


Shih Tzu, the beach hunk

I love Pet Society because of its weekly updates. Every week there's a new food item, clothes to wear and cool gadgets to add to your pet's home. Not to mention nice wallpapers and floor tiles. What I hate about it is their unstable server which has a lot of downtimes! But they managed to fixed it in a way.

New additions to the game were the Garden, and of course the weekly themes that you can dress up your pet either the Statue of Liberty, a Knight or a Pirate, a car racer, an Alpine or even a Fairy Godmother!

Right now, I'm collecting as much toys as I can from the game. My most treasured dolls would be the Elephant Doll, Whale Doll, and the Bulldog Doll. I like the new Horse Doll & Sheep Doll!



I should daresay I got addicted to Facebook because of Pet Society.

The only downside for this one is I'd wish I could buy those same stuffs in real life LOLz!

By request!

Sorry for the delay, I have no internet connection at home during my 3-day off from work! Lucky me, right?

So much for my 3-day off kung wala rin namang internet. So here I am, doing all the dirty work at an online cafe. Feels like the good 'ol days.

You Give Good Love

You Give Good Love was a big hit for Whitney Houston back in 1985. And I haven't done an MP3 Back-2-Back special for a long time so this is the perfect time to feature this plus today's my 15th month-sary with Agent J so I especially dedicate this song for him!

Tina Arena duet with Patrick Fiori - Out Here On My Own

0 comments


I've known this song for the longest time, back then I've never really "been there" so the message of the song never sinked in any way.

This is an original song by Irene Cara and was covered by Tina Arena with Italian Patrick Fiori for her CD "The Best & le Meilleur"

Their live performance was on YouTube by the time I initially got this song last May but it was recently taken down.
