home edition

thea — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 07:58:21 +0000

It’s fun watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition. At first, you’ll feel very sorry for the home owners with the situation of their house. Some have cracks on their wall, or exposed ceilings you wonder if people living there suffer from Mesothelioma. Then the family is invited to stay at a hotel or other fun place while the Extreme Makeover crew do their magic.

More than the great houses they build, the crew gives a dash of hope to these families. And that’s what makes the show work. Everybody loves to see hope even in other people. No wonder the show is now on its 8th season, and counting.

sorry, no live stream.

Earlier today, I hurriedly looked for a live stream of the Pacquiao – Cotto match. I typed frantically that I was afraid my laptop couldn’t take the rush. I browsed the forums, nothing. I waited patiently at Twitter and Facebook for anyone to share a link to a live stream, nothing. In the end, I accepted the fact that I’ll be learning of the results first, then watch the match an hour later. It’s ok, really. I was eager to wait knowing Manny Pacquiao won! Congrats Manny! Bravo!

celebrity makeup

I sometimes wonder how celebrities could look so fabulous on screen and in pictures when they look so ordinary when you see them on the street, like when doing their groceries. I guess we should give credit to their make up artists.

I know expertise like putting on make up and hairstyling isn’t just talent that you are born with. It requires passion and acquiring knowledge from cosmetology schools. Of course, it gives you the edge if you enroll to the likes of michigan cosmetology schools that have been around for years and have gained its reputation for their competent graduates.

drool

Have you seen it? You probably have. But I’m posting anyway, obviously from Perez Hilton.

Yes, drool… and get impatient.

I must admit I didn’t read the books. I saw the first movie and I can’t wait to watch the next. You watch and you just can’t help but fall madly in love again.

the works of a crisis PR person

thea — Tue, 19 May 2009 00:08:08 +0000

Just the other night, we were watching “dirt” on cable. It was an old episode where in the actress named Milan Carlton, who had so much similarities with Paris Hilton. There was a scene where the actress called a press conference all prim and proper, total opposite of the sexy outfits she usually wear on her wild night outs. These are the works of a crisis PR person.

This particular scene was what I remembered when I saw Katrina Halili on TV. She was filing a suit against Hayden Kho, who allegedly videotaped them while doing the deed. According to the news, whether Hayden circulated the video clips or not, he should be sued for taping his victims / ex-girlfriends without their knowledge and consent. Katrina was, when she filed the suit, all covered up speaking softly and crying. Not that I’m saying that the feelings were fake, it’s the get-up I was referrring to. This is the reason why you pay a crisis PR person, to make you look good and to get the sympathy of the people.

Anyway, these videos have created so much stir that now people are dashing to Quiapo just to get hold of the latest Pinay Scandal DVD. So far, there are other two victims/ex-girlfriends who had been taped while doing the deed with the doctor.

i want another digicam

My sister has borrowed our Sony M1 digicam. Even if the videos taken from it are almost faultless, I have warned her that the photos can be disappointing most of the time. I told her she’d better be back before our Hongkong trip late this year or else, well, I have no point-and-shoot to use as a backup to our SLR. Hehehe.

Then I just thought I could buy a better model online and have it shipped to her. I will just have to wait for any digicam Sale while she’s on business trip. I want something that has a higher megapixel and can take videos. Like I said, I want something that could serve as a backup to our SLR. Plus, I like to start taking videos again and upload them to my YouTube account.

I read some reviews and I think I like either the Canon Powershot SD970 IS, or the SX200IS. (I had to blog this ‘coz I kept forgetting the models hahaha) There’s nothing wrong with some wishful thinking, right?

catchy trailers

thea — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 16:01:19 +0000

I hate seeing trailers. Well, if you really think of it, it’s not the trailers that I hate. I just hate it that I love seeing the trailer, promise myself to watch the movie, and then find that the movie isn’t as great as I have expected it to be. You know, seeing everything great on the trailer, and that’s it. Although of course, if your job is to make a trailer, you wouldn’t show the actor/protagonist just looking for Manhattan jobs. You’d show that he was doing all those crazy antics just to get the job. But all the funny stuff you were waiting for, you’d seen on the trailer. Tsk, tsk.

Sorry, I won’t name the movie that I just saw (not new, just saw it on cable). I didn’t give away the storyline so as not to give a clue. But I still think the trailer was cool.

Go Pacman!

Today is Pacquiao vs Dela Hoya match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Every Filipino will be glued to the tube while silently praying for Pacquiao’s win. Last night, hubby and I even watched the 24/7 documentary on the two. It made us even more excited to watch. Just an hour to go (9pm EST) before the most awaited match.

Good luck Pacman!

little things matter

Was it just me who noticed that the lady model of Judge chewing gum has dirty fingernails? I was watching TV while searching for a competent truck accident lawyer when I saw the said ad.

It was a close-up shot of the fingers while holding the gum, twice! How could the quality assurance (editor or whoever is in-charge before releasing it to the public) miss this one obvious detail? Yes the model was very pretty but the fingernails? Not so enticing really.
