Superman who?

So, ok, everyone’s going gaga over Superman and his elaborate return. But, hey, this other hero ain’t takin’ it sitting down!

 

Spider-man.

 

His coming is not until May 4, 2007, but he’s sure making his presence felt!

 

Watch the cool teaser trailer here.

 

Woohoo! Go, Team Spidey! Can't wait.

on efflanes and wacky friends

You guys know Garfield & Friends? Yup, that cartoon that used to air on channel 5 every afternoon? I miss that. Anyway, I remember the song there…

 

friends are there to help you get started, to give you a push on your way. 

friends are there to turn you around, get your feet on the ground for a brand new day. they'll pick you up when you're down, help you swallow your pride when something inside's got to break on through to the other side.

friends are someone you can open up to when you feel like you're ready to flip.

when you got the world on your shoulders, friends are there to give you a tip.

friends are there when you need them, they’re even there when you don't.

for a walk in the park, for a shot in the dark, friends are there. 

and friends will care for you-u-u-u-u-u-u!

 

Well, this song – it’s stuck in my head! It’s like playing over and over and over and over… in tune with the following scenes:

 

Me sending SMS to my friends: Guys, before naman pumunta si Jat sa Dubai, punta tayo Mall of Asia.

Wacky Friend1 (WF1): Ha? San pupunta si Jat?

(Uhm, diba Dubai nga.)

 

WF1, chin up, really smug, walks up to a grocery store attendant: San ko makikita yung Boy Bawang – yung GARLIC FLAVOR?

(O-K)

 

WF2: ano ibig sabihin ng efflanes?

Me: Ha? Ano yun? Pano yung sentence.

My cellphone beeps: People often say: “Kung Kayo para sa isa’t-isa, kayo talaga…” Such a cliché! Don’t they realize that w/o effort, there are no efflanes?!

Me: ano ba?! Joke to: effort, as in airport; efflanes, as in airplanes!

(slow)

 

Me: Bumili ako ng software!!!

WF3: Ha? At san mo naman gagamitin ang mga bulak at tissue?

Me: Huh?

WF3: Software! Soft. Ware. Mga bulak at tissue, hindi ba?

Me: Ay, tanga.

(adik)

 

Me, emo mood: Pare, ang hirap talaga pag may problem no? As in torture!

WF4: Sinabi mo pa!

Me: Lahat apektado, physically, emotionally…

WF4: Mindically…

Me: Huh?

WF4, galit: Mindical! You know, pertaining to the mind!

Me: Gago, mentally!

(hahaha)

 

Nye! Going bulilit. Going bulilit. =D

last of the echo series

So, ok. You guys must be bleeding in the ears (or in this case, swelling in the eyes) by now with my echo news.

I just love him.

*sigh* Jericho Rosales.

 

Please, just this last time…

 

Pacquiao the Movie premiere.

 

Since I slaved for a week, playing PA to the cast and crew of the said movie, while shooting aboard the brand name that puts nice heels on my feet (I really can’t say “puts food on the table”), SuperFerry, I was fortunately given a deluxe seat at the premiere.

 

Together with my uber-cute officemate, Judd and his equally uber-cute friend Paui, I walked the “red carpet,” wearing my lucky pinstripe pa-cute suit with flirty skirt, plus my Kamiseta shirt with this shimmering butterfly accent. Boy, did I look “important!” tee-hee.

 

So, I watched the movie, right? Nothing significant there. But, sure, OK, it was good. Jericho gave a stellar performance as Pacquaio blah blah blah…

 

After party. Italianni’s restaurant. Rubbing elbows with the artistas. Golly. =D

 

Echo: hey!

Me: hey, you!

Echo: thanks for coming!

Me: no prob. Hey, congrats, ha? You were awesome *flirty smile*

Heart suddenly appears. *dang*

Echo: awww. Thanks! *leans closer for a peck on the cheek*

Me: MWAH!

Heart, looking like a porcelain doll, smiles at me.

Me, under my breath: damn you.

I smiled back.

 

I could definitely get used to this shizz.

Ah, the life of a socialite.

 

Haha. Yeah, right.

On press cons and raging hormones

I used to be over the other side of the fence...

 

Before I became "corporate," I was part of the often-misconstrued-highly-controversial-sporadically-upright-mostly-corrupt-but-always-colorful world of Philippine MEDIA.

 

Midja 'ko. Matapang. Mayabang. Mareklamo.

 

I loved every minute of it.

 

Five-and-a-half years later, perhaps because of the tiring hours and meager pay, I jumped ship... or rather, went onboard. I'm now with this shipping company. Still in Communications, but more strategic in approach (read: bland).

 

Nevertheless, I still love press conferences or, what is usually called press con. Even now as I'm part of the ones who organize such things for the media, I still love press cons. And why not? You get to take home freebies, eat great food (most of the time), and meet interesting people!

 

And you know what's better than a press con? A MOVIE press con.

 

Recently, the cast of Pacquiao the Movie went onboard SuperFerry for, you guessed it, a press con! Yup, Echo (Jericho Rosales) was there again, but this time, he seemed "normal-looking" beside his co-stars, Polo Ravales (shriek!) and Jay Manalo (double MEGA shriek!).

 

I was starstruck multiplied by 100! I mean, I've always had a crush, well, more like an obsession - OK, the sex-nymph kind - on Jay Manalo. C'mon, who wouldn't want that... that mola?!

 

Sadly, though, I was too busy preparing the shizz for media, setting up the interview section for TV people and running around everywhere to have my picture taken with THE sex god of all time. But hey, Polo's ok, too - if you saw past the height, that is. He could've been bigger a celebrity if he was a few inches taller, that guy. Oh, but what hot guy he is, I tell you! That body, man… wow. Whew. I can only imagine Ara Mina's delight when…

 

Oh, jeez! I better shut up.

 

Cold shower. Now.

 

Pictures here, people!

Pacquiao the Movie presscon

June 21. in theaters nationwide.
