DJ Mo Twister video goes Viral

Apparently, after the KC Concepcion and Piolo Pacual break up, another fiasco is making a real big buzz right now. DJ Mo Twister video is all over the internet right now. This is all about their relationship (MO and Rhian Ramos) though only Mo Twister admitted that they had a relationship, Rhian has never come out and did any interview. I think it's past time that Rhian would had a one on one interview and make a tell all about what really happened. Just like Piolo P.'s case, remaining silent will never solve the issue. It will just get worse. If only she can have the interview with Boy Abunda as well. 

Here's what DJ Mo Twister apparently said in the so-called video:

"ITS 28TH OF JULY 2010, FIRST TIME IM DOING THIS. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY. UM, MAYBE ONE DAY YOU'LL WATCH THIS. JUST TO REMEMBER HOW HORRIBLE OF A DAY IT IS. YOURE IN SINGAPORE, YOU'VE BEEN CRYING ALL EVENING BECAUSE TOMORROW MORNING, YOU AND RHIAN WILL GO TO THE HOSPITAL HERE AND GET RID OUR BABY. IT DOESN'T MATTER NAMAN WHAT I THINK ABOUT IT BECAUSE THIS WAS HER CHOICE. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG YOU'LL KEEP THIS AS A SOUVENIR, BUT THIS IS THE TEST. (WHISPER) THIS IS WRONG. THIS IS THE HARDEST THING (CRYING) THIS IS THE HARDEST THING YOU'VE GONE THROUGH BEFORE AND YOU'VE GONE THROUGH SO MUCH. AND WE HAVE TO BLAME OUR JOBS FOR THIS? THIS INDUSTRY THAT JUDGES YOU FOR THESE THINGS. THIS BUSINESS HAS MADE HER BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE THE LIFE OF OUR OWN CHILD BECAUSE NO ONE WILL FORGIVE HER FOR THIS. THAT THIS JOB WILL RUIN HER, SO WE AGREED THAT WE'D COME HERE AND GET IT DONE. BECAUSE YOU LOVE HER AND YOU JUST WANT HER TO BE OKAY. ITS NOT LIKE RHIAN IS HAVING AN EASY TIME WITH THIS TOO. ITS HARD ON ALL OF US. SHE SAID ONE DAY WE WILL SEE THIS AGAIN. AND MAYBE OUR JOBS WILL BE A LITTLE BIT EASIER AND MORE ACCEPTING ABOUT IT. ONE DAY YOU'LL LOOK AT THIS VIDEO, 20 YEARS FROM NOW, I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF YOU WILL STILL BE TOGETHER AND IT WILL STILL HURT. IT WILL STILL HURT LIKE HELL. (CRYING). YOU'LL BE SORRY FOR THIS YOUR WHOLE LIFE. I'LL BE SORRY FOR THIS MY WHOLE LIFE. IM SORRY FOR THE BAD CHOICE WE ARE ABOUT TO MAKE. ITS HARD FOR BOTH OF US. NOBODY WANTS TO DO THIS. I KNOW OTHER CELEBRITIES HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SUCCEED AFTER THIS PROBLEM, IF IT IS EVEN A PROBLEM, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A PROBLEM. BUT YOU KNOW, HER PARENTS ARE TOUGH ON HER. HER STATION, HER CHANNEL, HER MANAGER IS SO TOUGH ON HER THAT IT HAS MADE HER FEEL THAT HAVING THIS BABY, IS JUST NO OTHER OPTION. I KNOW RHIAN IS YOUNG. MAYBE ONE DAY WHEN WE'RE OLDER, WHEN SHE IS OLDER, THAT WE WONT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS. I DON'T BLAME HER. THE PRESSURE ON HER IS SO GREAT. THAT I KNOW SHE FEELS LIKE SHE HAS NO CHOICE. SO THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT RHIAN. ITS NOT. I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO BE YOU IN HERE, IN THIS SITUATION. ITS JULY 28, 2010 AND IM SITTING INSIDE THE HOTEL. THE RITZ-CALRTON IS SINGAPORE AND WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING ALL NIGHT ABOUT THIS. IM DOING MY BEST TO TRY TO KEEP YOU SAFE. AND ALL THIS FIGHTING IS TAKING A TOLL ON US. I WISH WE COULD HAVE THIS CHILD. I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS. THIS JOB IS SO DIFFICULT. ITS SO DIFFICULT. IM SO SORRY. I'LL BE SORRY FOREVER. AGAIN, ONE DAY YOU'LL WATCH THIS. MAYBE WHEN YOURE AN OLD MAN. YOU'LL REMEMBER HOW DIFFICULT TODAY WAS. AND I HOPE YOU WATCH THIS AND I HOPE BY THAT TIME I'LL BE MARRIED AND I'LL HAVE A FAMILY THAT I CAN TRY TO MAKE IT UP TO. YOURE GOING TO DO SOMETHING REALLY WRONG TODAY. IM SORRY FOR THAT. THIS IS BUSINESS IS SO SO HARD. THIS BUSINESS IS SO HARD ON ITS EMPLOYEES. I GUESS ALL BUSINESSES ARE. I DON'T KNOW. ITS OUR FAULT I KNOW. WE CANT REALLY BLAME OUR JOBS BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE DID IT. BUT UM, I UNDERSTAND."




After watching the said video, all I can say is...


"Nakakaloka!" Speak up Rhian! Defend your self if you really have the guts :)

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1


I don't know how to react on this movie simply because I haven't read the book so when I get to watch the movie, I don't know what to expect. All I know is that Bella (Kirsten Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) will get married and eventually, Bella will have a baby. 


When I get to watched it, soon after the opening credits, Jacob Black's abdominals made a disturbing appearance. Of course, there are a lot of people who are looking forward to this scene, any scene that shares Jacob not wearing anything at all. Fortunately, I'm not one of them. :) He was mad upon receiving the wedding invitation of Bella and Edward. Alice, even from the start has always been there to support and help Bella, this time around, she helps Bella in the preparation of the wedding. 


Then came the wedding, nothing much happened, some drama involving some of the Cullen's relatives irritated because they invited the wolves pack into the wedding. Soon enough, scenes shifted to Brazil where Bella and Edward will have there Earth Shattering honeymoon. Well, not really, it's just that they made a complete havoc on their bedroom. Kudos to the cinematography simply because Brazil is really an amazing place. I love the sceneries, the beach scene, the falls, the forest. I'm quite disturbed with the Bella and Edward playing chess all the time. Do honeymooners do this all the time? :) I'm not sure though :) 


Soon enough, Bella started having signs of pregnancy, of course, I think, Edward is just plain stupid not to realize that this is inevitable. But on the contrary, is it possible that cold blooded creatures like Edward can make a human pregnant? He's a vampire after all. Since I haven't read the book, I don't know the answer. They packed their bags and went home straight, Bella not telling her parents so that they will not worry about her. They are clueless that Bella is pregnant with a monster that is literally sucking all her blood. It was quite funny when Alice often calls the baby "fetus" and Edward calling the baby "IT". This is the time when Edward and Jacob started to argue. Jacob told Edward that is Bella didn't survive the pregnancy, he will kill him. 

After much agreement, Jacob agrees to protect Bella from his werewolf pack because these they are out to kill her. For some reason, the werewolves are afraid of her baby monster. 

Let's fast forward to the main event since some of the scenes are really, not that important. After giving birth to an infant which is Renesme, Bella dies but not after her husband stab her with an enormous needle filled with his venom. He also bit him several times to make sure she regains her life. Bella wakes up.Looking very much like Dakota Fanning or a Volturi then the end.


Although I didn't like the movie that much, there are some points that I like. 

1) the wedding gown, because it has gorgeous details,
2) the Brazilian island resort house, because it has gorgeous architectural details, and
3) the wedding nightmare of Bella, because it looks like a grotesque wedding cake with gruesome details.

With the acting parts, Lautner continues to squint whenever he is making a point or delivering lines in the middle of an important scene. Stewart still tucks her hair, bites her nails, or avoids eye-to-eye contacts and has mastered the constipated look in each frame (or is Bella Swan really like that in the book? I'm not sure). Pattinson is terrible. He is not to blame because it is hard to act when covered in eerie white make-up and tons of hair products. Creepy indeed. 

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1

Lastly, the controversial love scene. According to some reports, the filmmakers had to tone it down because it got an R-13 rating. Better if the scenes remained in the final cut to add more entertainment. Broken beds. Injured bodies. Lesson: monsters and humans are not compatible. The insane thing though, Bella does not mind the aftermath. Oh no. She likes it. She does not mind doing it more and more despite resistance from her husband. Author Stephanie Meyer, who also served as producer, is sending a curious message to the audience. Oh well. 

For die hard Twilight fans out there, *PEACE* :) I', still looking forward to the second part :)

PUP Human Stencil 2011


I can still remember, vividly in fact, how PUPIANS (including me) broke the record for the largest human rainbow :) We practiced for that said event and we were so excited as well. 

Over 31,000 thousand plus students, faculty and staff participated in the said event which was held at Luneta Grandstand for the 100th year celebration of Polytechnic University of the Philippines. Colorful shirts, flags and caps can be seen everywhere and we danced into modern music which really jump started the said event.   The said human rainbow made it to Guinness Book of  World Records as the worlds largest Human Rainbow.


This coming November 24, 2011, PUP will again make history as they attempt to do a “Human Stencil.” PUP students and friends are encouraged to take part of another historical event. Pre-registration is required to those interested. Also, photographers, bloggers, press and media are welcome to cover the event.

Taken: Movie Review


This is, in my opinion one of the best action packed film I've ever seen for the last years. I also love Liam Neeson. I totally recommend this to parents who has teenager kids, especially high school to college students as well. Most of the time, we neglect some of the important reminders our parents is giving to us. Like "Don't talk to strangers." "Don't go home late.." and more. 

I don’t know who you are, I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills – skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that will be the end of it. But if you don’t, I will look for you. I will find you. And I will kill you. - Bryan Mills
As the movie opens, the hero of the story, a divorced ex-CIA operative named Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson), is already paranoid about his 17-year old daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace) traveling to Paris for the first time with only one other friend, Amanda (Katie Cassidy - Gossip Girl star & also starred in Monte Carlo). After initially refusing to sign consent for her to travel as a minor without parental supervision, he reluctantly agrees thinking that this may be his chance to bond with his estranged daughter since he has moved closer to her in L.A. although she has told more than a few lies to be able to slide past Bryan’s seemingly overbearing paranoid assumptions. Then, when she arrives in Paris and while on the phone with her, he overhears her being taken away by some group of men. 



The initial introductions of Bryan attempting to reconnect with his daughter and his ex-wife, Lenore (Famke Janssen), who is now married to Stuart (Xander Berkeley) but still mad at him for sacrificing his family for his covert job are no doubt a little bit hokey. But the movie quickly shows that it means business once Neeson’s Bryan gives his ultimatum to a kidnapper on the phone he overhears, assuredly warning them that he will find and kill them with all the skills he has acquired. As he quickly hears from a spy analyst friend, Sam (Leland Orser) that the kidnapper is part of a sex trade trafficking mob, he finds he has only 96 hours to find his daughter or else she will likely never be found.

Once Bryan flies into Paris, the movie becomes a nonstop ride in which the kidnappers can barely blink before they can figure out Bryan’s next move. 


This movie accurately depicts aspects of sex trafficking. In real life, traffickers do target naïve girls traveling alone, befriend them and capture them. They take the girls to holding places, and then sell them into the sex trade. They force drugs on the girls and condemn them to awful living conditions. This is a sad truth, even here  in the Philippines, it is still very rampant. 

But the movie, though dark with a heavy theme and saturated with violence and profanity, nevertheless shimmers with Hollywood dazzle. In real life, it would be almost too impossible for a father to hunt down his daughter, killing everyone in his path in his effort to rescue her, most fathers would not have the strength and skills that Bryan Mills has to even face up to these nasty, brutish human traffickers. And in reality, girls are usually immediately violated, humiliated, and forced into submission physically and sexually.

Taken dramatically communicates a harsh reality, but the continuous brutality is disturbing, particularly for those unaccustomed to violent portrayals. Kim’s father eliminates his adversaries by shooting, breaking necks, and torture. But the violence does show how nearly impossible it would be in real life to rescue a loved one from human traffickers. Really, sad truth, and for some worst scenarios, some parents, due to poverty, even parents trade their very own daughters just to earn money. 

My favorite scene in the movie is towards the beginning, after Bryan gives his ultimatum to a kidnapper on the phone, the kidnapper says smirking, “Good luck.” When the phrase is repeated again later, the villains don’t even have the time to wipe off the smirk after Bryan Mills asked this hoodlum to translate an Albanian word which is "Good luck" in English. :) Totally love that scene. :)

BUM HOLDS FASHION SHOW WITH COSPLAY AS THEME

e


Local clothing brand BUM brings the Cosplay trend to the fore with a one-of-a-kind fashion show at the SM Mall of Asia.

If you have a story to tell, don’t keep it to yourself. Flaunt and let the world know through fashion.
This has been the youth’s battle-cry these days. Not only are they daring, wearing their colors on their sleeves proudly, they are pushing the envelope when it comes to dressing up, as well.

Even the term “costume play” or “cosplay”, which is the act of dressing up as a fictional character inspired from an anime TV series, or a character they idolized, has found its way into the youth’s wardrobe. Cosplay is no longer a style but it has become a “trend” that is normally seen and worn on the streets.

To underscore this “daring” and “experimental” style philosophy, BUM is putting together a fashion show on November 25 at the Music Hall of the Mall of Asia in Pasay City.
Called Reveal Your Darkside, this fashion celebration is the culminating event of an ongoing nationwide contest. Since August 8, BUM has been receiving through its website (http://www.bumequipment.com.ph) countless entries from young stylistas who want to share the world their passion for the brand and the cosplay trend.

Interestingly, the fashion show will also showcase BUM’s new collection for the Holidays. So cosplay and BUM fanatics can expect a one-of-a-kind fashion event that would inspire them to express their angst, passion, and identity more freely through BUM Collections. Mall goers will enjoy BUM’s treats as early as 1pm with live games on screen. Shoppers can play live video games at the Music Hall venue and win fabulous prizes courtesy of our sponsors Netopia Internet Café and Ideal Vision. Register as early as 1pm and get a chance to win prizes in our event raffle such as NOKIA C1 cellphones, five (5) pieces of P500 GLOBE prepaid loads and BUM gift packs.
