Tito Vic ang Joey

I bought a friend of mine a TVJ t-shirt as a despedida gift a few days ago. The T-Shirt had the SGT Pepe album cover printed ont it. It was pretty cool. I also have a TVJ shirt where in they were all in Straight Jackets , I wore it at saguijo one time and some guys would just blurt out.. "Uy pare cool shirt" pero most girls wouldn't notice the shirt . Siguro its one of those things you see on FHM, wherein they would ask girls questions where in most of the true blue husky male population would be able to answer but most of the women would have no clue. So What am I pointing at? Tito(pre political career) Vic and Joey are considered Male Icons.

Palagay ko nagshift na ang paradigm talaga, nung 80's sino ang mga icon or idols.. si Arnold, si Sly, si daboy, si FPJ, yun ang mga idols dati. Lets take out sports idols , kasi the category for them I think hasn't changed.

Ill do Tito Vic and Joey first, why they are still considered Idols and Icons til now, kasi most of the guys I named above are considered has beens except for arnold and FPJ. Well for starters they were rebels before, they were funny, most guys grew up with their jokes and their brand of kulitan. Plus ang pinaka importante eh di sila pretty boy.. so bihira mo sila makitahan ng yabang factor. I mean, If you ask a guy kung idol nya si Richard Gomez or si Vic Sotto.. mas malaki chance si Vic Sotto. This also tie's up with my Cute and Witty theory a few months back. Yup they were not pretty boys, they got in trouble , they were green, they were funny and they partly responsible for reinventing or scuplting the current Manila Culture. I think thats why they are considered Icons, they were the true blue artists who kept reinventing themselves , tapos kaya pa rin nila mag influence or dictate what new stuff is cool.. yun ang cool.

So, ano yung change of paradigm? well for one thing hindi na uso ang hollywood action star and pinoy action star.. they are not idolized anymore, gone are the days that a name can sell a movie. Thank Goodness for that , specially in the local scene. I think that brought about the almost demise of the local industry , when the movie industry itself failed to admit that names dont always sell a movie, its having a good movie itself that makes it sell. In hollywood, actors are now considered as actors, they move from comedy to horror to drama to action. Mas matured na ang mga viewers. So kung ako sino sapalagay ko ang cool actors? Si Pen at Ping Medina,Ricky Davao, Albert Martinez, Michael DeMesa, Jay Manalo, Bembol Roco, Epi Quizon, Eddie Garcia etong mga to I think theyre cool kasi magaling sila sa field nila, talagang kahit anong role maparapist mapabakla pinoportray nila ng performance level. I'm not that versed so malamang marami pang actors na magaling, pero the good part of it is that hindi na kagaya ng dati na magsuot lang ng leather jacket eh good actor na.

pucha ang tagal ko na di nakapag blog.. parang halo halo ang naiisip ko.. anyway dahil blog.. sensha na!

Rants: Saw a Love Story

I bought DVD's from my MCS suki , Jasmin and candy, they convinced me to buy Music and Lyrics . As a rule I don't watch love stories or try to avoid them as much as I can as I hate the after effects of doing so.

So I got home and saw this supposedly Art Film Grimm Love. It was based on the incident in germany that I heard on the news a few years ago wherein this guy posts an ad on an internet board looking for someone to eat, and weirdly (in a very sick way) someone answers the ad as someone has this very dark desire to die by being consumed. So the movie Grimm Love tries to show the incidents leading to the actual "Feast" up to the gruesome death of the volunteer. Lots of violence , very dark, very disturbing , oh and did I say very very dark.

So ayon, there I was terribly imbalanced due to the movie, you know that feeling when you saw a weird movie or a movie wherein the bad guy wins? Parang bitin, parang imbalanced ka after. Saw to cointeract the effects I grabbed the only other positive themed DVD I had... "Music and Lyrics".

And so goes , the movie was good, the dialogue was splendid, parang bukas when I talk to the guys in my group I'd like to do it with an english accent after hearing Hugh Grant. Then there were the kilig scenes, a lot of em.. Watching a love story alone , single with the weather so damp because it just rained is not a good idea because of the after effect it leaves, yes it did erase the uneasy feeling but it did leave that feeling of wanting to just hug someone or if lucky.. make out. Im not sad, para lang dang' bad timing. Parang moments baga.

Memo to self , stay away from love stories unless Im on a date or am already in a relationship.

Mr. Shoulder


Sorry about this, rant time again: I Don't know what was it last friday but for some reason I became Mr. Friendly. I'm not complaining, im totally ok with it, I just found it interesting how things came about. Friday a friend of mine txted me , she was asking if we could go out , I was suprised and asked her why , it turned out she's mad at her boyfriend and was just looking for a friend to spend time with.. I said OK but we gotta watched spiderman.. she said she couldnt coz she wanted to watch it with her BF.. so No deal there. Its kinda the downside of being single, bigmovie openings tend to be reserved for special someones so there are strong possibilities you get left out if you dont find a date at least to watch it with. Well a few hours after ,another friend of mine texted me looking for a gimik, she said any gimik she just wanted to go out.. Again spiderman I said.. she said sure. Turns out she had a problem too with her boyfriend and her boyfriend also cancelled out on her so she's pissed off . Don't get me wrong,I dont hit on these 2 girls, I consider them as good friends so I'm happy to lend a friendly ear any time ,I was just suprised at the odds of this happening twice on the same day. I really gotta get more dates. Im lurking too much in the friend zone I gotta shake this off. My lovelife really sucks during summer. I was dating already early summer but got terribly cut short due to work issues(She had to go overseas) anyway I'll take whatever fate gives. Patience patience patience.
