Tony Almeida's new look as a terrorist in season 7 “What happened to Tony Almeida???!” I posted that same message on my YM status about a week ago, describing the wonder that was lurking in my mind about what truly happened to Tony Almeida oblivious of the fact that aside from 24 addicts like me, no one really knows who Tony Almeida is. For that whole day, a number of my YM friends who saw that status message of mine asked mo who Tony Almeida was. I gave them the same answer. Tony Almeida is actually one of 24’s recurring characters. And guess what, they also gave me the same reply. They all thought that Tony Almeida was some filthy Filipino politician who is involved with corruption issues. I was obviously amused by their reactions but at the same time worried about how Tony Almeida’s character would end in 24. The night before, I watched the first two episodes of 24’s newest season. And for those who haven’t watched the new episodes yet, you better not read this post for be...

I have just finished packing my things and I am almost ready to fly. I have almost done doing everything in my to-do list and right now all I want to do is just to relax. I am going to make the biggest decision of my life and tomorrow is my twilight. Coincidentally, tomorrow is the Philippine premier of the movie Twilight of which I am a huge fan. Also, tomorrow would be my last day here in the Philippines. Tomorrow, I would be experiencing two very different twilights in my life. I couldn't really say that going to Dubai is everything that I have always wanted. I told myself before that if I would be able to have a job that could give me the necessary comfort, not the luxurious comfort, I would never ever desire of going abroad. I was able to find such a job. But why am I doing this now? When I was a young child, all I wanted to do was to run away. I always wanted to be alone and I didn't want anybody to interfere with my decisions for my life. I wanted to tend for mysel...

Would Edward be able to resist killing Bella? Would Bella be willing to give up her life for Edward? I am more than halfway through the last book of the Twilight Series -- Breaking Dawn. I am expecting to finish it tonight and tomorrow would be a time to hear Edward Cullen's story behind the very bizarre and reason-defying love story of him and Bella Swan. This story has just captivated my mind. Every single thing I think of these days are about Edward and Bella.. and sometimes the funny imprinting of Bella's werewolf best friend Jacob to her and Edward's only half-vampire and half-human daughter Renesmee. Just like a normal addict (as if being an addict is normal), I haven't stopped just by reading the books. Researches here and there have kept me preoccupied in the last few days. Videos, music, write-ups, pictures.. I have searched the net endlessly as I am waiting for the climax of this addiction. I have watched all of the movies' trailers and that made me...

My eyes are half-open and tired yet my mind refuses to put me in a deep slumber even if it knows that I badly need a rest from all of these. I have been awake for a little more than thirty-six hours but I can't seem to disassemble my mind, break it into pieces, and try to clear it with everything. I have to think of nothing. I have to focus on nothingness. But the more I try to focus, the more my mind refuses to let go of my imaginations. Yes, I am aware that I am very much imagining things, specifically the scenes from the novel that I am addicted to right now -- Twilight. It started out as a simple curiosity. I have heard my friend, Naomi, tell me things about the novel. I never understood her but I got really curious because she seldom shows me a perfect enthusiasm, or should I say addiction, to novels (except for Harry Potter which I definitely would not read). She sent me an e-mail with pdf files of the four books -- the Twilight Series. I promised her that I would read i...

Maybe because I am such a fun loving person, I always try to search and watch funny videos over YouTube. But unlike other people who are so adept in looking for the videos that they wanted, I can’t seem to find the ones that would really make me laugh boisterously. I can’t seem to use the right keywords to search for. Last week though, on my first ever conversation with my high school buddy, Ecel, in the last five months, she mentioned about a funny video over YouTube. She told me to search the word WANNABE and look for the video that was made by ‘Moymoypalaboy.’ She said that the video made her laugh until she dropped. Quoting her verbatim, “kaybaw ko buddy mobuhakhak jud ka ato (I know you would certainly laugh at it too.)” The following day, I searched the video and waited for it to load. I tried to be patient with the very slow broadband connection by Globelines but I simply could not so I just left it while it was loading and went to the dining table to eat my dinner. Fina...

Last night, Brooke White was eliminated from the race of America's newest pop idol leaving four remaining hopefuls David Archuleta, David Cook, Jason Castro, and Syesha Mercado. A teary-eyed Brooke White rendered an emotional last song on the AI stage and she was given a standing ovation by the audience. I've watched American Idol Season 7 from the very beginning and the final four was absolutely not the final four that I expected. From among the Top 12: David Hernandez, Amanda Overmyer, Chekiezie Eze, Ramiele Malubay, Michael Johns, Kristy Lee Cook, Carly Smithson, Brooke White, David Archuleta, David Cook, Jason Castro, and Syesha Mercado, the early favorites were Carly, Ramiele, and Syesha. The three were dubbed as the top 3 best vocals this season. David Archuleta, David Cook, and Michael Johns were also called the dark horses, having great potentials and a huge fan base. My favorites at first were actually Carly, Syesha, and Michael. I thought they were really...

this is actually my article about Dondon Hontiveros Published at Sun Star Daily on September 12, 2004 Dondon Hontiveros: Playing God’s Game Being a basketball superstar does not prevent Dondon Hontiveros from looking after his spiritual life. In his almost seven years of playing professional basketball, Dondon has found out that fame and wealth do not make a person more blessed than others. “God alone can fill the void that we have in our hearts,” he said. The gospel touched him for the first time in October last year. Pastor Robert Gonzales, of Victory Christian Fellowship, visited one of San Miguel’s practice sessions to share the gospel to Danny Ildefonso. But instead of Danny, Dondon was the one touched by God’s message through Pastor Robert. “Niingon ko, nindot lagi ni. Pero wala ko ni commit kay niingon ko religion na sad ni... unsa man ning mga religion (I said, ‘This is good’. But I didn’t commit myself to it since I was thinking it was just another one of those religi...
