VALENTINES DAY movie review

it's about love, sex, and different kinds of relationships. probably one of the heart-thumping and closest to reality and not to mention containing the actors and actresses from the hollywood A-list. there's the beautiful Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba, Queen Latifah, Jessica Biel, Taylor Swift among others. girls will get their eye candy with Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Lautner, Patrick Dempsey, Bradley Cooper, Jamie Foxx - combine them altogether in one movie and that's ONE BIG BUDGET! i think.

all things happen on February 14th, Valentines Day in Los Angeles. where everyone seems to be romantic but circumstances happen when you least expect it. you will be excited, fall in love, hate (for some scenes can really be heart-breaking), a little and laugh at the same time. some scenes can be really anticipated but it doesn't spoil the movie because it will draw you to be in love. especially if you'll see this in this season.

it's funny how single people can end up doing an activity like Jessica Biel's character does. it makes want to do it on Valentine's Day. instead of couples getting in, singles have fun cursing the day. lolz

never watch this movie alone. it will be really awkward.

Valentine's Day opens on Philippine cinemas on February 12, 2010.

Welcome to BusinessWorld, Pres. Gloria Arroyo

yesterday, i have been hearing hearsays that the president of the Philippines is coming to our office here in BusinessWorld. and so this day confirms her arrival.

i don't know her agenda roaming around the different media publications here in the Philippines. maybe this is because it is the last of her term as president of the Philippines. lucky that i had the chance to meet her and even shake hands with her, i also had a lot of questions related to the controversies she had during her term.

a lot of people may not like her but i am proud to admit that i voted for her during the 2004 elections. and her will to how she stayed in power for serving the country for 9 years. of course media had it on record but i want to know it first hand coming from the president herself. i wish i could do that.

if you had the chance to ask things to her, what is it? maybe if i get the chance, i could ask her things that you said. hehe

RENT: THE MUSICAL Manila review

Roger, Mimi, Mark, Maureen, Joanne, Angel, Tom and Benny refreshes our senses with the Manila run of RENT: The Musical, music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson. i have discussed this on my other blog entries so now i have to tell you what i think about the show.

i have seen the play and the movie before but this interpretation made me understand it more. maybe because i listened more on the lyrics now and at the same time the rock music that composed the story. they did changes from the original RENT but it didn't damage the whole concept of the story. i loved how they arranged it.

the set was though simple but used very effectively.

actors: Gian Magdangal did his best playing Roger. one thing funny though is that Mimi, played by Nicole Asensio, looked like Sheree, Gian's partner. and by the way, Nicole's got that sexy voice -- really appropriate for Mimi role. Mark Cohen, Maureen and Joanne added more life to the musical especially Maureen! Carla Guevara-Laforteza playing Maureen justifies why two people ran after her. i mean, to have a talent like Carla, you can't miss a thing. how about the couple, Tom and Angel? they did great! now you have to see OJ Mariano can actually jerk a tear for his character. he displayed great emotions to the role of having a relationship with Angel played by Job Bautista. he also had a great time on stage.

in summary, the whole show is really great. no dull moments from beginning to the end. and if you had your RENT OSTs, get them in your head so you can sing with the cast especially Seasons of Love.
