These blog entries are MOSTLY just how I felt after watching the play, musical, concert or TV show, a product I like or things I have read. If I have not at least one good thing to say, then you wouldn't see anything written about it here. Oh, btw, I would seldom(not never) write about blockbusters even if I love them starting today(26 June 2019) just because. :-)
Kano Luvs Pinay: Ang Turkey Man ay Pabo Rin (2013)
To blog or not to blog about this was the greatest debacle ever...NOT!
My rule is that if I have nothing good to say or I am dumbfounded, then I won't blog about it.
It just took me a while before writing about this, but I'm telling you, it's worth it. There are lots of good things this movie has to offer. It's more than a comedy. It is about different cultures and what Matthew(Travis Kraft) discovered, there is unity in diversity.
Cookie(Tuesday Vargas) and I belong to different social classes, but I can't say I am better than her, because I am not. Why did it take time for me to write about this then?
I wanted to think of a catchy phrase that would entice people to see it. Well, I still couldn't compose something spectacular, so what the hey? I'll just write from the heart.
By the way, it's available online from one of Travis Kraft's youtube channels.
Travis Kraft is married to an ABS-CBN superwoman called Imabelle...a superwoman in his heart and mind. Click this VLOG to know more about them.(more below)
The movie may not be filled with superstars, but everyone included in this movie is mighty talented.
There are many superstitions in this movie that I haven't heard before, so it's great to learn them too.
It is a situational comedy, but it does present a lot serious subject matters too.
No matter how weird a lot of things in this movie are, listen to Cookie's closing statement.
All in all, including the atrocities, it is a beautiful movie. -BLOG ENTRY ABOUT THE MOVIE ENDS HERE
Other matters that are still connected with the movie:
You do not open the lights, you turn it on.
;-) I added this info because it was a pet peeve of mine before. When people say, "Open the light...open the air conditioner..." I cringe. I promise not to overly correct anyone because my I don't have the right to be a grammar Nazi. Only those with perfect grammar have the right to do that. It's alright to correct someone because you care, but when you look down on them even if you are inches shorter than them, that's definitely not a good thing.
There's this newspaper man who married a Filipina who keeps lambasting our country and our ways. All I can say to him is, "What are you doing here? You say it's because you love your wife. If you love your wife, you've got to love everything about her, including her country and her country men."
Thankfully, Matthew truly loves Cookie and listened to reason. If ever you do watch this, I must say, that Matthew is right. You do not open the lights, you turn them on. Same goes with the TV, the AC, the radio and some others.
There are many things tackled in the movie that are quite serious, but presented in a light way.
I must admit I am guilty of some of the things Cookie pointed out like if someone who is the High Society would marry let's say a French guy, we would admire her, but when someone from overseas learns to love a common looking person, we look down on them. The word exotic became distorted, for lack of a better description. I hated it when that happened because when I was younger, I was described as exotic. I know exotic dancers mean strippers, but now when people see a Filipina and a sailor perhaps, they would laugh and say, "That guy has poor taste. There are better looking Filipinas, why should he choose an exotic looking girl." It now means someone who is not pretty...and that's the kinder description.
We hate being discriminated upon, but when it's our turn to discriminate...
From Pep.ph Sigh. I have separation anxiety #sepanx with this series that I have grown to love. It had its off days, but MOST of the time, the scenes are exciting, putting me to the edge of my seat, giving me cheap thrills, or making me laugh. There are times when I get traumatized by a scene or two, that I have to play the piano first before doing my research or anything else...or for me to have happy thoughts before sleeping. That's how effective the script and execution are. Or else, why should it be so real to me when I know that it is only a work of fiction? It's not really advisable for people who have PTSD to watch this, according to my friends who tried watching this, but couldn't because it was so convincing that they had to undergo cleansing rituals so-to-speak before becoming OK. If the very supposedly harmless COCOON could do that to people with mental health issues, then I guess something like this that is so...

source Elzar "Dodjie" Simon is not really a stranger to me. He was my brother's boss in ATI, and he was one of the many invited guests who was able to celebrate with us during my brother and sister-in-law's wedding in 1998. My brother only has praises for him. I was excited to meet him again last 14 July 2016, but it coincided with CURTAINS UP , so I just joined my family in Spirit. A.I. HACKED The book has been receiving rave reviews ever since it was launched so when I saw on the author's FB page that he was having a book signing event at Fully Booked's The Studio at 11th Street, BGC, I was psyched. A few days after I learned about it my brother announced that we were going, and he has already ordered one paperback and one hardbound. I thought one was mine, but it turned out it was for my dad, but it's OK. My parents live with me, and my dad read books one-by-one, and now he is still reading my former Pastor(Richard Mirpuri)'s Glimp...
