Para mabigyan ng hustisya ang pelikulang itoh, WORKING GIRLS 2010!
Nagtataka lang kasi ako, halos lahat ng kaibigan ko, sinasabihan ko na maganda ang pelikulang ito at dapat panoorin nila dahil kwela, aliw talaga!
Lalo na kung fan ka ni Ms. EUGENE DOMINGO, ahay! (Nakilala ko siya sa pelikulang "Tanging Ina", sidekick siya ni Ms. Ai-Ai Delas Alas dito, at tumatak na talaga siya sa akin d'un - galing kasi eh! Sa isip ko nga siya ang perfect na Didi ng Zsazsa Zaturnnah eh, kaso nga lang tunay siyang babae - pero adaptation naman sa movie eh, so, pwedeng baguhin ang kaunting elements, para lang mag-fit siya, charing!)
Balik tayo sa pag-anyaya...kaso nga naman, kapag yayain na ng mga kaibigan ko ang mga kasama o date nila para manood nito, iisa ang mga sagot - AYAW!
Gan'un?
Masyadong nalason ng ng Holywood ang utak nila at ayaw ng bigyan ng pagkakataong panoorin ang gawang pinoy. Well, 'di mo rin nga naman masisisi, kasi kalimitan nga naman sa mga gawa natin na pelikula eh, wa class, masyado ng lasak o alam mo na ang mga mangyayari o daloy ng kwento, at kalimitan, rip-off o gaya-gaya lang sa gawa ng iba.
Pero, kakaiba ito!
Nagsawa o nadismaya rin kasi akong manood ng ibang pelikula ng Holywood, lalo na nitong mga nagdaan araw...ang gaganda sa trailer, pagdating sa pelikula mismo, walang kwenta! Kaya, sabi ko sa sarili ko, ng makita ko ang trailer, masubukan nga itong WORKING GIRLS 2010, tutal, kapangalan din naman ng naunang pelikula na napanood ko pa n'ung bata ako at nagsiyahan ako, baka kako okay nga!
At OKAY nga!
As in...kung ayaw mo sa ibang artista na kasama dito, okay lang, tiisin mo na lang, dahil ang aabangan mo ay ang bawat eksena ni Ms. Eugene Domingo!
Sa totoo lang, na-save ni Ms. Eugene Domingo ang BUONG pelikulah! Kalokah! As in talagah!
I LOVE YOU Ms. EUGENE DOMINGO, sana ma-meet kita in person!
Naging kakaiba ang naging karanasan o mga pinaggagawa ko nitong mga nagdaang araw, at kabilang na rito ang matagal ko ng inaasam-asam na gawin...ang aking simpleng pangarap - ang maging EXTRA sa isang pelikula!
Gan'un pala 'yun!
'yan ang katagang namutawi sa aming mga bibig ng matapos ang shooting. Kakaiba talaga. Kalimitan kasi, sa mga simpleng produksyon lang ang ginagawa namin, ngayon, medyo may basbas ng pormal, documentaries na pelikula na indie film ang dating!
Maaga kaming pumunta sa lugar, kasama ko nga pala si Jonas, Gerry at Neil, at 'buti malapit lang sa amin ang shooting site, sa San Pablo City din lang - sa bahay ni James Cooper. Maaga kaming pumunta kasi excited na excited kami. Excited na makakita ng kung ano-anong ginagamit sa isang professional na shooting...baka may sikat na artista...itsura ng set...at sino ang direktor!
Nakuha namin ang gig na ito sa tulong o pakiusap ng isa naming kaibigan na si Laya, tatay nya pala 'yung direktor, si Tito Lem Garcellano. Grabeh, galing, saludo talaga ako sa 'yo Tito Lems!
Grabeh, halos 24 oras kaming gising...antay ng antay sa oras ng pagshu-shoot...dapat kasi naroon ka sa loob ng set o compound para anumang oras na kailanganin ka ng direktor, and'un ka kaagad! Akala namin, simple lang ang pagsho-shoot, na pagkatapos ng isa o dalawa, okay na...hindi pala.
Marekotitos ang direktor, maraming shoot ang ginagawa sa isang scene pa lang. Kaya matagal, pero okay lang...marami kamng natutunan at higt sa lahat nakilalang bagong mga kaibigan.
So, habang naghihintay, kunga no-ano ang mga ginagawa namin...tambay, ikot sa lugar, kuwentuhan, makiaalam sa mga gamit, at kung ano-ano pa!
Kami ni Gerry, habang naghihintay ng oras, nagsasaulo naman siya ng mga linya nya! Bosing nga pala siya ng isang bar...bagay na bagay!
Ngayon lang ako nakakita na malapitan ng tunay na clapper!
Nagpapalipas ng oras sa set...bonggah, parang dalagang Pilipina!
Kalandian si Neil!
At siyempre, Magnum look kasama si Neil at Jo-Anne!
Oh, working title pala ng pelikula ay Tin-tin, 15 at gumanap akong isang STRAIGHT GUY na customer sa isang beerhouse (minamanyak o harass ang mga babae d'un!)...ack, naging LESBIANA akoh!
Nakuha ko ito dito at magandang i-post din dito para sa mga naliligaw, hehehe...SALAMAT sa ARTEPINAS!

A Spiritual Journey towards an awakened Philippines
Independent Presidential candidate Nicanor Perlas and his supporters and volunters will undertake the historical Lakbay Maharlika (Noble Journey) , lakaran or walk for New Politics and a New Philippines from May 5-8,2010. (see the route)
The lakaran, which in ancient pre- colonial Philippines means a walk to elsewhere will symbolize the journey from our fallen nature towards our resurrected nature – the walk of transformation. Nicanor Perlas and his supporters will be tracing the roots of the unfinished Philippine revolution of the spirit.
During this journey, that starts in Sitio Pandac, Lucban,Quezon, Nicanor Perlas and his supporters/voluntee rs will trace the route of the leaders of Philippine history from Apolinario de la Cruz also known as Hermano Pule, who died at the age of 27 to give flesh to his belief that the divine is imperishable and that death can never overcome a life dedicated to the spirit, to Padre Gomes, Burgos and Zamora who also sacrificed their lives at the altar of the spirit because they were longing for a country that truly did justice for our purpose.
The deaths of Gomburza triggered the the flaming of Rizal who wrote El Filibusterismo that depicted the massive systemic oppression of Filipinos and the call to rise up and resist evil. Rizal's spirit helped give birth to the Filipino nation. Andres Bonifacio and the Katipunan, heeding the collective call for the spiritualization of the Philippines society laid down their lives to give Filipinos their freedom and sense of a nation.Clearly all these deeds from history of our revolutionary leaders could not have been done without connecting to the divine spirit within themselves.
A replica of the Sto. Nino from the Basilica del Sto. Nino of Cebu will accompany the group. All services will be ecumenical in nature.
At each stop for the townhall meeting there will be a discussion of Perlas' six pillars or agenda.There will be live streaming of messages from Nicanor Perlas every day at 2 P.M. And at 8P.M. ; and hourly live streaming of the lakaran and motorcade, at Nick Perlas for President TV www.justin.tv/ nickperlas
Perlas and his supporters will celebrate a new cultural festival at the end of this journey, because a political revolution today can not happen without a peaceful cultural revolution.
At the cultural “miting de avance”, on May 8 at the Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila, there will be a celebration of the emergence of a new creative vision for a New Philippines and the commitment and passion for new politics in service of the spirit and in service to God. There will be short messages of support throughout the concert, anchored to the lakaran/lakbay rationale and the six pillars. Artistes and musicians will provide a cultural show to be participated in by Joey Ayala, TaPati ,Syalom Band, VIPLAVA an enthnic rock band, word jammers JR Presno and Jacob Rodriguez and many more.
The group will be joined by:
Cebu supporters Eleanor A. Rivera, Fr.Jim Belita CM a Filipino theological scholar from Louvain University ,Mario Gasalatan,Father Tito Soquino,OSA, Danita Jackson of the Maharlika Tribe,Engr. Marlon Sayson of the Maharlika Tribe;
Nilo Gabao from the Manobo tribe of Cagayan de Oro City.Coalition members from Partido Kalikasan the emerging green party in the Philippines represented by Secretary General Roy Cabonegro, the Anti-Trapo Movement of the Philippines, Buklod Political Party, Amang Greg Cabigan of the 1st district of Quezon, Chairman of the Samahang Magdalo of Quezon Province, The Philippine Green Republic Party, and the Agta-Dumagat tribe, Ben Maulana, President of the tranport group Lantauan Organization and Muslims from Brgy. Culiat in Q.C.Also traveling on the historical journey are ten foreign observers who will document the process of New poltics in the Philippines.
Nicanor Perlas’ Message on Lakbay Maharlika: Our Spiritual Journey Towards an Awakened Philippines
As we advance towards Elections 2010, we know that the challenges we face as a nation are immense. The road ahead is mired by problems that are pervasive, complex and deep-rooted. However, in the end, systems and institutions are governed by people. If people are not moral, systems and institutions, no matter how well structured, will not function. Our task is to light a fire, so we restore our morality as a nation, as a people. And, this will only happen if we connect to the source of our morality: our spiritual nature. If we do not root our structural reforms in this innate spirituality, we will never achieve what we are all longing for.
Lakbay Maharlika is a “lakaran” that calls on all Filipinos to access the source of their highest integrity in choosing the new leaders of this country. Our country is known as one of the most spiritual country in the world. It is our destiny in the world to manifest our spirituality into visible societal action and progress.
The “lakaran”, the “journey on foot”, the “pasyon,” has been a symbol in our history of a pilgrimage or an ascent from our fallen nature towards our resurrected nature. It is a journey towards light and transformation. All spiritual traditions are familiar with the concept of the “lakaran.” The Katipunan called for “paglilinis ng loob” a holy quest of inner purification so that after cleansing, they would be prepared to receive the true light or divine intuition. This is the same light that we have to awaken to, the light that we must come alive to, the light that leads us to choose our leaders, the light that will transform the Philippines towards a radiant victory.
This “lakaran” is the same process embedded in the creation of a pearl. A pearl is formed when the shell is invaded by a parasite. The shell is irritated and creates a nacre, which coats the shell and thus forms the pearl. The pearl is created out of struggle, pain and suffering. Out of a process of purification, a pearl emerges. We are struggling as a people, our country is in pain, and Filipinos are suffering. We must transform our challenges into a new state of being. We are all pearls if we overcome what is dead in us, what is irritating, what is imperfect in us, and transform it into life. If we can collectively do this as a people then we will truly become Perlas ng Silangan.
The Lakbay Maharlika retraces the lakaran of Hermano Pule, who was executed by the Spanish at 27 (in 1841). Hermano Pule preached kaliwanagan (illumination) , katipunan (brotherhood) and lakaran. He died giving flesh to his belief that the divine is imperishable and that death can never overcome a life dedicated to the spirit. His teachings became core to the struggle of the Katipunan and later the Philippine revolution. The Lakbay Maharlika also honors Mariano Gómes José Apolonio Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora, who sacrificed their lives at the altar of the spirit as they longed for a country that truly did justice for its purpose. The martyrdom of Gomez, Burgos and Zamora triggered the flaming of Jose Rizal. Jose Rizal’s spiritual movement depicted the pervasive and deep-seated oppression of Filipinos and the call to arise and overcome evil. The Lakbay Maharlika ends in the Rizal Monument and Liwasang Bonifacio, giving esteem to Bonifacio and the Katipunan who heeded the collective call for spiritualization and lay down their lives to give us our freedom and sense of a nation. These individuals exemplified lives dedicated to true freedom, the pursuit of democracy, justice and a deep connection to highest aspirations and ideals and the divine spirit.
A revolution at this decisive moment in our country’s history cannot happen absent a peaceful and cultural revolution. And we cannot transform our culture absent a spiritual revolution. We undertake this lakaran, a pilgrimage, a pasyon, and a journey of struggle to entreat all Filipinos for transformation. Let us recreate the structures of this country on the basis of our spiritual dignity as human beings and on the deep conviction that what matters are only those done with divine intention.
To culminate Lakbay Maharlika, we will celebrate a cultural festival symbolizing the spirituality that can create society anew. We will celebrate the emergence of new creative vision, one that moves in passion and commitment for a vibrant country. The lakaran would have prepared us for this radiant light, if we have journeyed with a willingness to sacrifice our own petty needs and desires in service of the nation, in service of the spirit and in service to God. This is the meaning of this election. This is the meaning of our journey as a country. It is a spiritual journey to awaken the highest and the infinite in us and enable that light to reign over things that perish and are temporary. This is our struggle and yet, this is our hope. This is our task. This is our meaning. This is our destiny as a nation.
Mabuhay ang Maharlika!

How to Prepare and Administer an Organic Coffee Enema By Michele L Tune, eHow Member
Colon cleansing and constipation aren't topics many people want to talk about. Although it's becoming a little easier to discuss as we worry about developing colon cancer, IBS, and other bowel problems, it's still something that is dodged by the majority.
If you've been suffering from terribly painful and/or rare bowel movements, an occasional organic coffee enema might be just the remedy you need. It doesn't cost a lot of money, you can do it yourself, and it can even help you lose weight!
Colon cleansing is something that can be done each season but should be done at least once a year. Organic coffee enemas can be administered more frequently than that but be careful that your bowels don't become dependent on enemas.
Things You'll Need:
* 2 to 3 tablespoons of fresh ground organic coffee (light roast) only. * 4 cups distilled water * glass or enamel pot (do not use teflon, aluminum or iron) * fine sieve * enema bag with rubber or plastic tubing connected. (Enema bag should have a fountain syringe applicator.) * small amount of olive oil (for lubrication)
Instructions
Step 1 Add measured coffee and water to the pot. Bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes then simmer for 15 minutes. Strain using a very fine sieve. Allow this liquid to cool to body temperature (98.6 F). It should feel comfortable to your skin. (You don't want it to be too hot.)
Step 2 Pour this liquid into the enema bag, clamping the tube as you pour. Lubricate the nozzle with the olive oil.
Step 3 Hang the enema bag between 1 1/2 to 2 feet above the floor in the bathroom. The higher the bag, the faster the speed of intake into the colon.
Step 4 Place a large towel on the floor. Lie on your right side, with your legs curled into your abdomen. An alternate position is lying on your back with a pillow under your buttocks. You can also switch positions (right side, left side, back) every 3 minutes while retaining the solution to ensure it is reaching various areas of the colon.
Step 5 Taking deep breaths, slowly insert the nozzle several inches into the rectum. If it is inserted too quickly it may bend or become kinked inside the colon. A gentle rotating motion can be used to insert. Move the enema bag higher or lower to adjust the flow of the solution into the colon.
Step 6 Retain the solution for about 10 to 12 minutes, if at all possible. You may hear or feel a squirting of fluid below your right rib cage. Many people believe that this is sensation is due to the release of toxin-laden bile from the liver and gall bladder.
Step 7 Get up slowly from your position on the floor and make your way to the toilet. Empty the bowel naturally. Do not strain.
Tips & Warnings
* You may not be able to hold all the fluid in with one enema. In this case, the procedure can be repeated two or more times in sequence, making sure to empty the bowel in between.
* If you have cramping, the solution is flowing too quickly. Pinch the enema tube to stop the flow and lower the bag. Do not continue until the cramps have subsided.
* If the solution is flowing evenly, the enema tube may be bent or kinked. Slowly and gently pull it partly out and then insert it again several inches
* The enema syringe should be sterilized after each use. It can be boiled or washed thoroughly with soap and water, then soaked in a solution of 4 drops grapefruit seed extract and 2 cups water.
NOTE: Colon cleansing by taking organic coffee enemas is believed to help fight Candida and parasites.
* I'm not a medical professional. However, colon cleansing with organic coffee enemas is a great way to promote a healthy bowel and increase your lifespan. Always heck with your health care professional before trying something new. Author accepts no responsibility from mishaps while trying this procedure.
Medyo matagal ko na dapat nai-post ito, pero pasensya na, tao lang po, hehehe...
Naimbitahan ako minsan sa isang Blogging Event ('yan na ang bago kong kinakarir ngayon, hehehe) sa may Greenbelt sa Makati, at si Ms. Giselle Sanchez at Emil Buencamino na asawa nya ang bisita namin. So, ayun, punta naman ako maski 'daming gawa...kailangan eh!
Medyo huli pa nga ako eh, galing pang Cubao, SOBRANG TRAFFIC!!! Nakapagchicka-chicka na 'yung ibang bloggers kay Giselle...pero, ok lang...pahinga muna, tapos nakita ko masarap 'yung mga pagkain - yum! (Pagkain kaagad ang inatupag eh, hehehehe....)
...food galore!
Pagkatapos ng kain at pahina, siyempre, focus na kay Ms. Giselle...grabeh, TOTOO ngah! Siya ang BABAENG MAGANDA SA PERSONAL!
...at higit sa lahat, SUPER KIKAY din! Okay na okay siyang kausap...at siyempre ng makabwelo ako at nakasingit, itinanong ko na 'yung pinakakaingatan kong tanong: KAANU-ANO NYA SI KORINA SANCHEZ?
Napatawa siya, sabi nya, huli kasi ako - 'yun pala, itinanong na rin sa kanya ng iba! Ang sagot, ang NANAY daw nila ay si Ms. CARIDAD SANCHEZ at tatay daw nila si MAYOR SANCHEZ! Nyeeehhh, meaning wala pala talaga silang relasyon...magkaapelyido lang daw...ok, klaro na ngayon, hehehe....
Tapos sa seryosong usapin naman, pinag-usapan namin 'yung inendorso nilang mag-asawa (ang cute nilang mag-asawa ah!) na produkto, ang Enduranz...so, ayun, naging maayos naman ang naging flow ng usapan. Naliwanagan kami (as in LAHAT kami) na HINDI pala parang Viagra ang Enduranz - pinalalakas nya pala 'yung sperm activity...iba kasi ang nagiging reputasyon eh, pati sa commericial.
...at naging KLARO ang lahat!
Tapos eh, chicka to the max na, usap everything under the sun...kakaiba pala talaga si Giselle, 'daming alam at mga kakaibang pinagkakaabalahan o interesan!
...with Giselle habang chicka ever!
At natapos nga usapan...enjoy naman lahat...game lahat, tapos siyempre, ang ritwal sa pagtatapos - Piktyur! Piktyur!
Grabeh kahapon ah, sa kalahating araw lang, ang dami kong nagawa!
Sa umaga, check lang ng e-mails at internet na rin, habang nagdo-drawing na balak kong ibigay sa ka-meeting ko later...ibigay sana...
...sana...kaso, 'di ko naman nagustuhan ang nagawa ko...kakaiba, kasi medyo nahihirapan ako at pang-ilang beses na ayaw ko ang kinakalabasan....
N'ung natapos, balak ko na sanang ibigay, pero, nagdesisyon ako na huwag na lang...saka na lang...('buti na lang!).
So, unang meeting, okay naman, saglit lang at madali - mahirap lang magbyahe talaga...maagang natapos kaya may panahon pa para hanapin ko 'yung susunod na meeting.
Sa ikalawang meeting, nahanap ko naman ang lugar, kaso, sobrang aga ko, kaya nagliwaliw na muna ako (read: naghanap ng mga hotel) sa malapit na lugar...tapos n'ung palagay kong okay na, balik na ako sa lugar ng meeting.
And'un na nga sila...halos kasabay ko rin ang ka-meeting ko, actually roundtable discussion kasama si Nicky Perlas... gusto ko lang talagang makinig sa kanya at tsaka iguhit siya. Ayun, impromptu, habang may kausap siyang iba, bago magsimula ang meeting, iginuhit ko siya...kaso ayaw ko pa rin ng naging labas, scrap!
Guhit ulit...nakakita ako ng flyer na may mukha niya, ginaya...ayaw ko ulit, scrap!
Guhit ulit na medyo realistic ang dating...ayaw ko ulit, scrap!
Nagsimula na meeting...ayos, talagang makinig sa kanya..naengganyo tuloy akong iguhit ulit siya habang nakikinig sa kanya, sabi ko sa sarili ko, kung anong kalalabasan, bahala na!
...at 'yung nga, sa inner dancing kong style, kakaiba ang lumabas - nagustuhan ko!
Kaya ay'un, ibinigay ko sa kanya...sabi ko, may ibang ibig sabihin 'yan (in a POSITIVE way!), bihira lang ang naiguguhit ko na lumalabas sa ganyang estilo.
Sabi niya, itago nya raw...siyempre, na ikinasaya ko naman!
Sayang nga lang at wala akong scan o picture ng naiguhit ko, well, okay lang 'yun....
Tapos, papunta na sa ikatlong meeting, actually, event naman...nakausap ko na sa unang meeting pa lang 'yung may event, si Andrew Villar na gumawa ng Ambush, kaso sa pagbyahe ko, medyo sumama ang t'yan ko...balak ko na sanang huwag pumunta, kasi mahirap na...kaso naiwan na ako ng ibang kasamahan ko sa bahay, so, no choice akong pumunta...kaya ay'un...nasa byahe ako pero iba ang nasa isip ko...pinagpapawisan ng malamig...butlig ang pawis...ang sarap ngang ihirit sa mga kasamahan ko na, "kita nyo 'tong pawis na 'to? Hindi dahil sa pagod 'yan...".
Nakarating din naman at mabuti na lang!
Sa Mag-Net Cafe ang venue at may Yakult na handa kaya medyo na-okay ang t'yan ko (OK ka ba tyan?)...pero higit sa lahat, eto ang mahalaga sa nakita ko...
Si Cooky Chua! Syet, ang ganda nya talaga!
Kaso, huli na akong dumating kaya nakakanta na siya, nilapitan ko at nagpapirma at sinabi ko sa kanya kung anong paborito kong kinanta nya: "Paano mahalin ang isang tulad mo?"
Sabi ko, National Anthem namin 'yun! Sabi nya, National Anthem ng mga sawi! Hahahaha!
Eto pa mga kasama ko at mga bagong nakilala...
L to R: Neil, Jonas, (nakalimutan ko name nya, sorry dude), Kristoffer Franco (Quipino), Greco Milambiling (Aha, Hule), at ako.
Kaya ayun, enjoy talaga! maski naghirap, okay lang...
SALAMAT at CONGRATULATIONS uli kay ANDREW VILLAR, MABUHAY KA!

The Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature (Palanca Awards) continues to live up to its reputation as the country's most prestigious and longest-running literary contest as it officially opens its 60th year.
This year, the Carlos Palanca Foundation looks forward to more brilliant works to add to its trove of 1,954 winning literary gems it has gathered since it first handed out an award in 1951.
The regular categories under which participants can submit their entries are: English Division – Short Story, Short Story for Children, Essay, Poetry, One-act Play, Full-length Play; Filipino Division – Maikling Kuwento, Maikling Kuwentong Pambata, Sanaysay, Tula, Dulang May Isang Yugto, Dulang Ganap ang Haba, and Dulang Pampelikula; Regional Languages Division – Short Story-Cebuano, Short Story-Hiligaynon and Short Story-Iluko. Each contestant may submit only one entry per category.
Much anticipated as well are entries to the competition' s relatively new categories: Poetry Written for Children in the English Division and Tulang Isinulat Para sa mga Bata in the Filipino division. The categories were launched last year to encourage the development of a body of poetry for young children ages 6-12.
Meanwhile, in the Kabataan Division, Palanca Awards' special division for young writers below 18 years old, the Kabataan Essay theme in the English category is "What is it in the environment that I can protect?", and in the Filipino category, "Ano sa kalikasan ang aking kayang pangalagaan? ".
The literary contest is open to all Filipino (or former Filipino) citizens, except current officers and employees of its organizing body, the Carlos Palanca Foundation, Inc. Contest rules and official entry forms are available at Palanca Awards' official website, www.palancaawards.com.ph.

Ang on-line diary ng pakikipagsapalaran sa buhay ng isang taong medyo kakaiba, o kalimitang taliwas sa normal na taga-Luzon, na nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na mapapunta at manirahan ng maikli, ngunit makabuluhang panahon sa bagong daigdig at lupang pinagpala na kapuluan ng Mindanao...at ngayo'y muli na namang napabalik sa Luzon, para sa mga panibagong pagkakataon o oportunidad, at ipamahagi o ibalita sa lahat ang likas na kagandahan ng buhay.
Sa kasalukuyang buhay na ito, ayon sa may akda, ay hindi kailanman makakalimutan ang kapuluang Mindanao!
