I just found out what crab mentality really is.
You do something and all you wanted was to make yourself and some friends happy.
And along the way, it would also make other people (who you don't care about) happy.
But their egos are just too big for any happiness to seep in I suppose.
I know I shouldn't be bothered, it wasn't for them I did it after all.
They're not even friends. And didn't I say I don't care about them anyway.
They probably live very miserable lives I should feel sorry for them instead.
All I'm saying is, crappy people can't get away from the crab in their heads.
LOSERS.
Traveling for work is not fun.
Well, actually it is fun to talk with colleagues.
That's why I totally forgot about Edison Chen's Talk Asia interview at 8:30pm tonight.
But I read the advancer on the flight this morning on The Straits Times.
Among the things he said was he had to travel around HK in a trunk of the taxi.
Weishenme????!!!! Can he just wear a helmet or something? Why need to take it to the extreme?
I mean... in the bloody trunk of a taxi?! Doesn't he have a car to take him around where it's safer?
I can understand the "five days of darkness" when he had drapes closed all the time.
Or that he didn't know what to say to the girls.
I also agree that he was a victim in all these, although less than the girls.
But it was consensual and it was meant to be private. Perversion... that's a personal issue.
As to whether he should be accepted in his comeback... frankly, between him and Gillian Cheung, I'd rather have him. At least this guy did not have pretensions of being nice and decent and all. He's always been the bad guy. Whereas Gillian had this grand cover-up of being virginal and innocent. Not that I bought it anyway in the first place.
Behold a new low in Philippine politics.
Puhleeezzzz, I wasn't born yesterday.
As JV said, it's OK na gumimik. As long as you don't criticise those others who do the same. And what, when it's your turn to resort to tricks like this, you think yours is more acceptable, more believable? What makes you different from the other politicians? I haven't even seen this guy fight for any advocacy... palengke my a$$. His gimmicks belong to the palengkes indeed. Proposal on national TV, a rose and a song? Kasuka!
OI MGA PINOY, WAG MAGPADALA SA MGA GIMIK NA GANITO!!!
... but don't credit yourself for self-promotion!!!
One of my former editors explained to me the value of bylines and taglines. They are not a reporter's birthright. One must earn either and they usually mean two things when you're given credit:
1) you deserve praise for your hard work on the story
2) you deserve shame for such a stupid story
Editors don't just give bylines/ taglines to reward reporters. It's also for accountability. And ever wonder why it's usually the reporters who get shit in libel cases even if the published story does not resemble their original work? To put it bluntly, it's to shame and frame.
Now... there are people who give themselves bylines even if the story they wrote is crap and required a few clicks on the Internet and packaging together stories. Where is your shame???? I squirm but then I tell myself, fine, let the world know their stupidity.
Be careful, next time credit may be a discredit.
Because aside from the big budget and the big stars to gawk at, and yeah, the occasionally dizzying effects, they are just crap.
And I just found one more reason: The Day The Earth Stood Still.
It is so BAD that I could not even cry when it was over, I felt so numb. I just wasted two hours of my life on this CRAPPY movie???? I mean, what were Jennifer Connelly and Kathy Bates thinking?! If there's one thing going for this movie, the cinematography and effects were awesome and Keanu Reeves is perfect as a human-turned-alien ('coz the guy can't act to save his life). But overall, WHAT WAS THE POINT????????????
Am I just blur or it was really that baaaaad?
This review is both funny and sarcastic. Exactly my thoughts!
As Keanu's character says repeatedly: "I need to go back to the city."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This afternoon after lunch, there was a coffee tasting promo at the office. Having forgotten how coffee tastes like, I decided to take a sip and voila, it felt like I have ran for hundreds of kilometers with the way my heart was racing. Then I started bitching to friends online, I was on a roll.
Moral of the story: never drink coffee again. Tea is for zen.
I just came from a four-hour meeting discussing how the PM will arrive, who will welcome him, what he will do, where he will go, how long will he stay in this place, who should be in the holding room, what should be announced at this part, who should introduce this, even who will pass the wireless microphone. My head is spinning and if this happens every day, even every month, I guess I'd have ulcers. It's not a good, sabai-sabai week for me so I hope people bear with me if I bite their heads off and bark at them. I can't wait for this week to be over.
P.S. Thanks TV and JA for the Chickey Joy and Max's Sarap To The Bones all the way from Manila. They're great stressbusters, nothing like comfort Filipino food.
Disclaimer: It's a free world and what's written here is just my opinion and not meant to "badmouth" the Korean production.
I really tried to like Boys Over Flowers. But...
Ko Hye Sun is too old for the role of Jian Di and her feistiness annoys me. A friend (I won't mention who you are just in case you don't want to be identified) said she is channeling Nodame in acting as Jian Di and I agree. The original Makino Tsukushi is supposed to be feisty and cute, not a weed you'd really love to step on so she would stop annoying you.
Lee Min Ho's Joon Pyo... I have no words for those hot rollers curls. Oh I have one. Peluka. He does look like Jerry Yan and perhaps that was the main factor why they picked him. But for some reason, he's just good looking but not quite there as Domyoji Tsukasa. Jerry, for all his stiffness, was a funny Daomingsi. Matsumoto Jun, undoubtedly, owned the role and while he may have been short to be the perfect Domyoji, he made up for it with how he combined dorkiness and arrogance and came up with perhaps the most endearing portrayal of the famous rich idiot.
Kim Hyun Joong as Ji Hoo reminds me of a white lady, not only because of his complexion, but like a ghost, he has no expression. He looks through you, he even looks through water. I mean, Hanazawa Rui was laidback but never this lifeless.
Kim Joon is passable as Song Woo Bin perhaps because I never really care for the role. I mean, Vanness Wu made a very entertaining Mei Zhou but he was the only one who shone in the role IMHO.
Now, Kim Bum as So Yi Jung is perhaps the only reason why I would like Boys Over Flowers. I always have a soft spot for the role because both Ken Zhu and Shota Matsuda were good as Xi Men/ Soujiro and Kim Bum is as equally good.
Overall, I can't understand what the scriptwriter and the director are trying to achieve. First, Domyoji is supposed to be unwittingly funny but why is it that I can't laugh at Joon Pyo's lines? Is it because the script itself falls flat or is it that Min Ho falls short at giving his role the right ounce of bakaness? Then there is the whole feel of the drama itself. I read that there was a change of camera director and the one who's doing the job now has a documentary background. What the hell right, this is supposed to be a light-hearted romance drama not Christiana Amanpour on CNN. The Korean production really needs to lighten up, including Min Ho and Hye Sun then maybe they'd be more fun to watch.
I have been holding my tongue to comment on the hoohah over DingdongDantes and MarianRivera because I felt they're not worth it. But I don't want to hold my peace anymore especially after reading this from Ricky Lo's column today.
It's so cheap how they got together.
It's so cheap how they try to titillate their fans.
It's so cheap how they hurt other people.
I'm no Karylle fan but I feel for her while at the same time glad she's gotten rid of DD who doesn't look as yummy as when he was starting out. I mean, what's wrong with him? And what's wrong with the eyes of those people who would vote him as No. 3 sexiest male on E! Live? He looks old! I read someone pointing out before that he looks bungi or like an old man without teeth when he smiles.
On the one hand, maybe they deserve each other. She's cheap (including her endorsement fees). He's cheap. Well, they've got a bargain in each other.
