TARA! TARA! TARA! concert set this September 29

on September 29, 2012, Earth Day Jam Foundation and Corregidor Foundation Inc., in cooperation with Dimitri Productions, invites everyone to join in with the whole community of Corregidor in a clean up drive for the Manila Bay. the said activity is also inline with the international coastal clean up happening at the same date.

this campaign is to promote cleanliness not just only in Corregidor but for all of us to be responsible in all of the shorelines worldwide. as the tourist spot is historically important for all Filipinos, we are also aware of the diverse wildlife of the island, which is equally important.

so why Corregidor and not at Manila Bay? in the recent events of flooding and storm, garbage from nearby coasts of Bataan, Cavite and Manila has been driven to the shores of Corregidor greatly affects the image of the island as a sanctuary of environmental and historical living.

not long ago, monkeys, deers and different kinds of aviary species said to dwell on the island. people who live in the island also do fishing for a living which we are also enjoying on our plates. with this clean up drive, we will be able to revive the glorious Corregidor island.

ruins of Corregidor

HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA movie review

wonder you'll get lost in the woods and you'll get into a secluded place where you can find monsters. but these monsters won't scare you away. instead, they'll be very afraid of you. the comedy of Hotel Transylvania is much like of Monsters Inc. but different in a lot of ways. pretty much that i missed Dexter's Laboratory as i found out that Genndy Tartakovsky directed this movie.

Hotel Transylvania deals with the protection of a father to his daughter as his only precious treasure left. and part of this protection is to build a sanctuary of monsters where the "undead" can live peacefully. and when an intruder accidentally gets in the way, the head of the hotel, Dracula (Adam Sandler), gets extra careful not to put every monster in the open.

monsters include every iconic character we've known from horror and bedtime stories. vampires, werewolves, Frankenstein, the Invisible Man and the mummy are among the well known and they made it to the lead cast. and weak enough that they've been attacked by a guy who just like to party, the disoriented creatures got worse as Dracula had not planned. and that's where the funny things happen.

each character has it's own Waterloo and they have put the humor into it. if you were to make fun of something to your friends, this can be the movie where you'll get an idea. and i don't see the jokes coming. you'll laugh at it most of the time.

HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA opens worldwide on September 28, brought to us by Columbia Pictures International.

PARENTAL GUIDANCE

Billy Crystal, Bette Midler and Marisa Tomei stars in a family comedy clashing old school and new school parenting in the movie PARENTAL GUIDANCE.

inspired with Billy Crystal's personal experiences, he opened the idea when his daughter sent her kids to Crystal's home for a week while she was out for work. and then he writes about the movie and here it is. the point is how parents do their thing towards their children. quoting Billy Crystal, “The key to being a good grandparent is being a good parent first. It’s not necessarily right, just because the way things are done now, but you do have to respect the fact that they’re not your kids. So I think that’s a really important thing, is the time that you have with them has to be special. And it has to also be non-threatening and understood that you’re an extension of the parents. And then when nobody’s looking you spoil them.”

Billy plays Artie and Bette Midler plays Diane Decker. their daughter Alice played by Marisa Tomei puts them responsible for the care of their grandchildren for about a week. this movie will put families and grandparents into a hilarious moment with more of life lessons.

PARENTAL GUIDANCE is directed by Andy Fickman (The Game Plan, You Again, Race to Witch Mountain) set to open January 16, 2013 by 20th Century Fox distributed by Warner Bros.

OPPA GANGNAM STYLE

YES, it's that contagious! there's something to it that made the whole world go crazy with the steps and the song of Korean Pop Star PSY. and not too far ago, OPPA GANGNAM STYLE has dominated the dance airwaves and immediately got viral in Facebook and in Youtube.

admitting that i'm not a KPop fan myself, but this video is somehow very relatable to everyone especially to Filipinos. with that feel-good and that "makapal ang mukha" character among all of us. the collision of many colors and culture was unintentionally turned into a cool music video.


OPPA GANGNAM STYLE - Psy original video
though the most of the world don't understand its lyrics, each can see how dare themselves to do their own parodies. here's the video made by Bogart the Explorer, a Filipino Youtube sensation. videos were made by even younger Youtube users.

well to Psy, congrats in this success.
