Source: ABS-CBN There is no doubt, I will miss this series.  It may have had some flaws(Remember my complaints about surgical masks, et cetera ?), but this is one series I watched from start to finish because I enjoyed it so much.  The good guys only killed when necessary like when they were defending themselves, and only as a last resort.  Thanks to i Want TV  I never missed an episode(the video above is from Daily Motion, and NOT from the said online service). Sigh. All's well that ends well.  If you missed the episode, visit iWantTV  so you could watch it in high definition. The four main characters: Aljur Abrenica (Xander/Alexander), Julia Montes (Title Role...Ana/Juliana), Paulo Avelino (Gael) and Shaina Magdayao (Samantha/Katrina) Photograph from Pinoy Exchange Cherry Pie Picache (Celeste/Ms. C Ramos), Lorna Tolentino (Miranda Ojeda), Agot Isidro (Hillary Del Mundo), Nonie Buencamino (Salvador/Buddy Del Mundo), Ryle Pao...

Disclaimer: I am NOT a couch potato.  Now that I am better, I do go out once in a while and besides, it's bad for the eyes---the whole body for that matter---if I transfix myself to the telly/television or my laptop even if it claims it has a retina display. SANA DALAWA ANG PUSO (From Fashion Pulis ) #SanaDalawaAngPuso #SDAP Just the stars and their co-stars alone are enough for me to take interest in a Princess and The Pauper type of show, but from day one it was already very interesting. It is implied that they are twins or could be twins because Lisa's mother left them and Mona's mother left a family heirloom for Mona(and what are the odds that they are named Mona and Lisa, huh?). There are times when Lisa feels whatever is happening to Mona. The two leading men are very appealing here and they act well. Bayani Agbayani is very witty and funny here. Ryan Bang is getting better and better.  Kitkat, Kiray, Alma Moreno, Boboy Garovillo, Carla Martinez,...

( source ) Directed by Manny Palo Written by Enrico Santos Halik sa Hangin  is a sensual romantic horror movie, according to PEP correspondent,  Jocelyn Dimaculangan . After watching the film, I must say that I agree, but it is not without flaws and the story is not new, therefore it is very, very predictable.  When the scary scenes were shown, people behind us were laughing.  I feel that the shooting of this movie was rushed.   Enrico Santos is a very good writer and I am sure that if he were given more time, he could have made the twists better and more thought-provoking.  At any rate, the film is still worth watching.   Both Gerald and Julia have, for lack of a better term, blossomed, both physically and as actors.  They are also blessed to have seasoned actors as costars and there were pretty good scenes.  Miguel Vergara, a child I  met  in ONE MORE TRY(A world class movie, I must say), is pretty good ...

Valdez Before watching this movie I heard a lot people say that they couldn't imagine a person with Germanic features could be siblings with someone with Asian features.  Well, I have "news" for you. It's possible.  I know, because I belong to a family like that.  Maybe not my immediate family, but my mom's side of the family is like that. We have different features. Some look Spanish, some look like Germans, some look like Chinese and the list goes on.  Since the story was tailor-made for the new generation's Mara Clara teen stars, Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes, the casting director chose their parents to be Tonton Gutierrez and Agot Isidro.  Tonton could pass as Julia's dad and Agot could pass as ...
