Hosting Audition

Well, the final audition video is now finished. I had to re-shoot the entire thing 'coz windows movie maker cannot edit mp4 files. Well, thankfully, I had to re-shoot the entire thing, I was able to make it more tactful (in my opinion).

DISCLAIMER: This video was made in the spirit of fun. If you are offended by any content of the video, please go to the corner of your room, assume the fetal position, start crying, and eat your own hair. SUCK IT UP PRINCESS!

I would like to send a big thank you to my friend Carlski for editing the video for me. The video actually turned out REALLY good and I think that it was carefully edited so that I don't offend the low-lifes.

For comments and ratings on the video, please visit youtube.

Love Contract

Xiao Feng is a tomboy who is the leader within her circle of friends; she is also the captain of the kendo club. Xiao Feng thought that she has very loyal friends, that is until Xiao Bai and Kai decided to leave the kendo club in order to join the swimming team which is headed by Ken. Because of this incident Xiao Feng and Ken's first meeting was not a rousing success. However, in order to keep Xiao Bai and Kai in the swimming team, Ken would have to abide by the love contract that was created by Mu Tou. Will Ken court Xiao Feng to keep the swimming team alive? Will the tomboy finally renew her faith in love?

Watch how the love contract will change the lives of Xiao Feng and Ken. Watch the series and you will understand the pain of a one-sided love affair. Click below for the music video of this series.

WARNING!: This post might contain spoilers!

I have to say that I liked this series. The only thing that I did not quite like is that the story line progression was very slow. Of coure, Mike He is still the hotness and that is what kept me holding on to the series. The plot about the contract is something that we all have seen before in one way or another, however, it was fun to watch how the sub-plots developed. I just have to say that the kissing scenes in this series could have been better...way better! Oh, and I don't know what it is about Ariel Lin (Xiao Feng) but she reminds me of a bird or fish of some sort. Over all, it is a good series and I would give it a B-.

Since Mike He is still my latest obsession and he is the HOTNESS! My next Taiwanese soap to watch would be Why Why Love. I have read some good reviews about this soap including comments about Mike He's acting being better. Mike He plays a bad boy in Why Why Love so, this should be good. After all, we all love those bad boys.

Devil Beside You

If you haven't already figured it out, I am addicted to dramas and/or series. My last addiction was the Korean drama, Coffee Prince. However, to keep fueling my addiction, I have moved on to the Taiwanese drama, Devil Beside You. I fell in love with this drama right after I watched the first episode. In this drama, not do I only find the guys HOT (I LOVE TAIWANESE GUYS!), but I also happened to like the story. I also like how the series was shot. I love the camera work, and most of all I love the teleplay.

Devil Beside You stars, Rainie Yang and Mike He (HOTNESS!).

Qi Yue, a young college student writes a love letter for her crush, the basketball captain, Yuan Yi. Due to Qi Yue's clumsiness, she accidentally hands the letter and professes her love to Ahmon, the "devil" son of the school president. By some trick of fate, Qi Yue and Ahmon will fall for each other. How long will their love last, once they find out that Ahmon's dad is about to marry Qi Yue's mom. Will they be "dangerous" siblings? To even complicate things, Ahrang, Ahmon's younger brother, vows to hurt Ahmon and take Qi Yue; Ahmon's grandmother sets up an arranged marriage for Ahmon, Qi Yue's first love returns to their school. How will Qi Yue and Ahmon keep their love alive? Can Qi Yue really tame the devil?

Watch the Devil Beside You and see if a bad boy can really fall in love with a sweet and innocent girl. Interested? Click the preview below!

HS Reunion

Well, it's that time! It's about time for our 10 year high school reunion. So, I am quite busy collaborating with some of my batchmates so that we can come up with a good plan for our reunion slated to happen on January 2009. The reunion will need someone to host the event. As you all know, I would do anything to be popular, so I am quite busy making a video for my audition. I am not doing the video all by myself, my friend Carlski would be helping me. I just finished filming all the clips. However, I am not able to show you the full video yet, 'coz Carlski would have to edit it and come up with stuff to make it look pretty. But, since you all are my avid readers, I am going to give you a glimpse/teaser of the video.

[EDIT: The original video has been replaced due to some sensitive forms of low-lifes who obviously can't take a joke! Nonetheless, I replaced it with 3 videos...ENJOY!]

VIDEO DISCLAIMER -- The videos that you have just seen were made because of the following reasons: (1) I was bored, (2) I want to make myself famous on youtube, and (3) I am funny and I want to make people laugh!

If you have been offended by any of the videos (or the original video that was posted, if you have seen it), GO TO THE CORNER OF YOUR ROOM AND ASSUME THE FETAL POSITION, THEN START CRYING AND EAT YOUR OWN HAIR!!!

"IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT, GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN!"

Coffee Prince

Eun Chan, the head of a family falls in love with "his" boss, Han Kyul. Han Kyul, who wants to escape a marriage that is being plotted by his grandmother, hires Eun Chan to be his "gay" lover. Little did he know that he will fall in love with this kid (Eun Chan). How will Han Kyul face his homosexuality? Will he truly fall in love with Eun Chan? Will he love "him" even if he finds out that "he" is just pretending to be "gay"?

Watch how this unique story unfold in 17 cups (episodes)...laugh and cry with Eun Chan and Han Kyul, in this truly well-written Korean drama.



If you haven't guessed already, I am addicted to Korean drama. The first one that I fell in love with was Full House, and now I am head over heels crazy over this new series that I just finished watching, Coffee Prince. I literally finished watching the entire series in 1 day...yes, I know, I have no life and I should get one! However, check it out and see if you'll get hooked to it. One of the underlying themes of this drama is homophobia. I know you all have opinions on it, so go ahead and answer the poll below or better yet, leave me a comment.

You can download Coffee Prince from Veoh. If you are in Vancouver, BC, you can purchase the DVD set of Coffee Prince at the Richmond Night Market or at the Crystal Mall in Burnaby.




"HEY! HEY! HO! HO! HOMOPHOBIA HAS GOT TO GO!"

The Cafeteria Song

The last video that I uploaded on youtube has been viewed by almost 2,000 people and have been commented for at least 50 times. However, not all the comments were nice and I was quite shocked and (frankly) hurt by some of the ugly comments that I had read. I guess there will always be haters no matter where you go. So, I decided to make a video that is light and funny.

The video features the song/jingle that we made during our junior year in high school. Big thanks to Carlski for still remembering the lyrics. I hope you enjoy the video and that you have fun watching it.

Okay, I know that I am not a great singer, so no need to post some nasty comments about that. Nonetheless, I apologize if your ears were bleeding while you were listening to that video. Thank God Simon Cowell will never visit this blah-g. I could just imagine the comment that he would make.

Just for fun, please answer the poll below :-)

The Taser Song

The other day I did avideo response to the incident that happened at the University of Florida. The video response that I did was in the form of a commentary. My friend, Carlski, also made a video response to what had happened. Carlski's response was in the form of a song -- an original song that he composed. I thought that it was very creative and the song was really funny and that is why I am posting the video on my blah-g; of course aside from that fact that Carlski is one of my closest friends.

I hope that you liked that song. Carlski has a channel on youtube, visit him and see his other creative videos.

NEW OBSESSIONS

if you haven't noticed, my new obsessions are video responses on youtube and polling my blah-g readers (if i do have some). i think this is a step forward for my blah-g. if you haven't seen my videos on youtube (which i highly doubt that you have seen them 'coz i just started ding videos and i am not that popular), just read the old posts that i have...i have posted 3 videos so far. i have one where i was singing the theme from little mermaid, i have a video response to chris crocker's (who i think is deranged) leave britney alone, and my latest video is a response to the video which shows a university of florida being tasered. i love doing commentaries, so if there is a video out there that you think is controversial...or if you would like to hear my opinion on something via video, just give me a holler and i would surely try my best to make the video for you.

i also am trying to poll my readers (whoa!) at the end of my post...i thought of doing this as not all blah-g readers or hoppers have the time to actually type a comment so, i should just poll them...as simple as a two mouse clicks and i would know if my readers are agreeing with me or if they simply want me to shove my opinions where the sun don't shine.

UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LACKS FREEDOM OF SPEECH

okay, i am really hungry right now but i just have to post this entry 'coz i am so passionate about this issue/topic. i just came out of the shower when i saw something on the news about a journalism student from university of florida who was tasered at an open forum with john kerry. see video below.



well, what do you think? do you care as much as i do? frankly i care very much that i just had to do a video response aside from the fact that i am trying to make myself famous on youtube. anyways, my response is below.



there, i ranted! and this time it's not about my friend JP (there JP, i mentioned you on my blah-g). anyways, i just think that it's sad that this sort of suppression of ideas still happen in the university. i think that we should encourage radical thinking in universities. i think that the organizers of the event should have been more prepared in terms of the questions that would be thrown at john kerry. after all, people are often very passionate about politics and/or religion. they could have avoided this by actually screening the questions before giving the student the podium. in any event, i just don't think that the student should have been tasered when he was clearly being hand-cuffed and when there were 4 officers pinning him to the ground.

to ANDREW MEYERS -- i fully support you and fully support freedom of speech.

I WILL NEVER STOP BELIEVING THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE.

LEAVE BRITNEY SPEARS ALONE

i was browsing youtube when i came across this video of a guy trying to fend for britney spears because there's a lot of critics there who are simply trying to do their job by bashing britney spears. reading about it will not give you the full experience of the video so, just watch the video below.



i wanted to post a response on my blah-g. however, i highly doubt that the guy in the video would come across my blah-g, so i posted a video response. thankfully, i have my N91 and a USB cable beside me! see my video response below.

well, one chooses to be a public figure/property when they enter the world of showbiz. i think chris crocker (the guy in the video) should know that. to be honest, i think that britney spears self-destructed. the good thing is that people ae still talking about britney. heck, there is no such thing as bad publicity. don't get me wrong, i used to like britney spears. OMG, i even remember walking in makati with my friend JP and he told me that britney is so pretty (JP is straight and this was about 8 years ago). okay, honestly, i used to think that britney is the epitomy of beauty and hotness, but things change so let's all grow up and move on.

i understand that britney wants to make a comeback, and i am not against that. however, her performance at the VMAs was short of spectacular. i think that she should some out with a super hot dance track, and i hope to god that she doesn't lip sync.

i think that britney should even be thankful to the writers and the tabloids. if not for them she would probably be starring in the surreal life right now.

to BRITNEY SPEARS -- good luck with the comeback, and with th child custody battle.

to CHRIS CROCKER -- get some serious help!

PART OF THAT WORLD

i was having a conversation with my friend the other day and he asked me what i wanted to do with my life. so, i told him that i wanted to be an artista. he then told me, ako na ang magsasabi sa'yo na wala kang K mag-showbiz (translation: i am telling you, you have no right to belong in showbiz). i have to admit that i was a bit hurt, offended even. i mean, do i have no right to dream anymore. i didn't want to solicit neither a fight nor an argument so i just kept to myself (which by the way was very hard for me 'coz i am a member of the debate team). anyways, so just to release some anger and to have some form of response i made a video clip.

okay, i know that i have REALLY set myself up by posting this video, but i am a big boy now and i can take the criticism. well, i made the video response just 'coz i wanted to have my own video to upload on youtube. forgive the video quality as i took the video using my N91 in my room with the lights off.

i may not belong to philippine showbiz, but i guess i can create my own showbiz realm within my blog.
