Thursday, August 14th, 2008

2007-top-celeb-endorsers

I saw this archive somewhere, and one thing struck me the most, obviously most of the top endorsers are from Kapamilya.

Then, I wonder how come if Kapuso is the leading station (as they claim to be), why is it that most “famed names” are in Kapamilya?

Whew! I really can’t see the logic. :-)

Let’s just wait for the next list for 2008, hopefully, at least Marian Rivera could weave her way in the list.

Sandara Parks | Krung-Krung Update

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Well, I am sure you’re still missing Sandy!

 

 

 

Don’t be ashamed, you are not the only one who is missing this krung-krung young lady in the biz world!

 

 

 

 

But, don’t you worry Sandy is doing fine in Korea…as an actress

See that pic above, the girl behind her is her little-no-more sister Minji.

Sandara is being inspired by the numerous concerts she is seeing in Korea recently and someday she is still dreaming of doing one again here in the Philippines for her awaiting fans. But this time hopefully someone who would be willing co-produce it with her now. :0

Sharon Cuneta | The Bangs!

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

Miss Sharon Cuneta is sporting a new hairdo recently and it is the “bangs” that made her more youthful and her face more sexier.

But some critics say that “it is not bagay” to her to have that hair style because she’s not getting any younger.

Nevertheless, I think she still looks good and anyway its just a hairstyle, no big deal… :-)

Billy Crawford |New Endorser of Human

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

It is really very nice to see Billy in ABS-CBN station, although it was the decision of Billy Crawford’s foreign manager (who are unaware of the Kapamilya and Kapuso rivalry) for him to move in the Kapamilya because of the PDA… obviously Billy is enjoying more exposure in the today.

He was launched recently as the new endorser of Human, a sister company of the Bench clothing line.

Van is Saved from PDA Probation

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Good news for all the fans of this charming Cebuano, he is saved from probation by his fellow scholars.

Anyway, I think it was a sure strategy because obviously Van is much closer as a friend to the majority of the scholars compared to Miguel, Laarni and Apple. But if the Mentors didn’t save Bunny, the votes of the scholars would be divided between the two.

But if I were to choose among Migue, Laarni and Apple… I believe it is already time for Miguel to go. Many chances were already given to him but up to this he still remains the same Miguel we knew before.

While Apple and Laarni despite despite being sometimes “supladita” , talent wise… people would still want to see them on Gala Night.

Prinsesa ng Drama | ABS-CBN Kapamilya

Friday, July 18th, 2008

ABS-CBN is asking for you valued opinion on who among Kim Chiu, Bea Alonzo, Anne Curtis, Roxanne Guinoo and Angel Locsin should be hailed as the “Prinsesa ng Drama”

We all know that Kim Chiu, Bea Alonzo and Roxanne Guinoo are all homegrown talents of ABS-CBN, through the years they have proven their worth as a versatile actress.

While Anne Curtis and Angel Locsin both started in GMA-7, nevertheless Anne Curtis was able to transform from her tweetums image into a certified actress, actually the transformation and development of Anne Curtis under the Kapamilya management is really remarkable which made her one of the most loved Pinay Actress here in our country today, ever since her hit teleseryes like Kampanerang Kuba.

Let’s give Angel Locsin more time, one teleserye under the Kapamilya is not yet enough, although she has a remarkable record before, her transfer did affected her status.

After all the considerations, I believe Bea Alonzo deserved the title. From the time she appeared in her 1st teleserye up to her upcoming Betty La Fea show, her girl power is surely undeniable. Go Girls ! :-)

USA Online Casinos

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

I think the emergence and the coming out of online casino can bring a change to the offensive association that had permanently stuck to our minds that casinos are not the place and can be dangerous for the weak, gullible, and trusting people. Funny thing are, but most of the time we always do associate casinos as places where danger is always waiting to spark anytime and full of bulky goons ready to protect the assets of their masters.

Perhaps casinos are just one of the things that will not be ruled out by modernization and it continuously evolved to cater the needs of the players and attuned itself to the modern lifestyle of the world – thus online casinos came to life.

Because, internet is the new favorite place of the people today, and has certainly invaded the humanity, mainly because of its accessibility and the virtual safety it provides to the players, the opportunity has opened itself to play to the highest level – thus online casinos.

Online casinos are operating just like the traditional casinos that had been a part of our history for ages.  They enable players to have fun and wager on different casino games through the internet. USA online casinos
