Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian

It’s Kim Kardashian‘s big day!

Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian are walking down the aisle today. She will be wearing a Vera Wang wedding gown and her sisters Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie and Kendall (Jenner) are all participating in the wedding as part of the bridal entourage. It will really be one big affair that a lot of people are waiting for.

But cynics are asking… do you think Kim and Kris’ marriage will last?

Who knows!

Congrats to the happy couple!

April Boy Regino diagnosed with prostate cancer!

April Boy Regino

April Boy Regino was one of this generation’s juke box kings. He produced a string of hit songs that include Di Ko Kayang Tanggapin, Honey My Love So Sweet, among others. He left the country in the peak of his career for a quiet life with his family in the US. It’s been years and now he’s on the news again.

He was reportedly diagnosed with prostate cancer back in 2009!

April Boy was interviewed by the two giant networks and he confirmed the news. He was indeed diagnosed to have cancer but according to him, thanks to herbal medicine, he is now cured of his cancer.

I am not a fan of the guy. In fact, I am not a fan of novelty songs. But when I hear of someone being diagnosed with cancer and the family is shown I can’t help but react.

Here’s wishing the guy is really cured of his cancer already ;)

Calayan Clinic in West Hollywood closed down!

08.16.2011 · Posted in Hot on the Net

People are talking about this reported closing of the Calayan Clinic in West Hollywood. Report says that an undercover investigator posed as a patient and caught a staff of the clinic diagnosing a medical condition and performing laser treatments. In the US, practicing a medical procedure requires a license, unlike here in the Philippines that as long as some have the necessary training, they can already perform some procedures with the supervision of a licensed medical professional (who can be in the same room or in another room on standby). The Calayan Clinic is owned by cosmetic surgeons Manny and Pie Calayan. They are known cosmetic surgeons of some celebrities here in the country.

The surveillance done by the Medical Board of California was the result of complaints filed by some patients who got injured by their laser treatments. The clinic was located in Los Angeles before it was moved to West Hollywood. The matter is now in the hands of the LA Country District Attorney’s Office.

Remaking ‘classic’ teleseryes

08.16.2011 · Posted in TV Time

I think remaking classic teleseryes is a bad decision. Have you see an episode of the remake of Mula Sa Puso? The teleserye ended already. I saw a few episodes while waiting for TV Patrol and talk about mediocre acting! The lead stars were blah at best! I don’t know why that starlet Lauren Young was given a chance to topbill a classic teleserye. She had only one expression that of a worried young lass. She was nowhere near Claudine Barretto‘s acting prowess. And that guy who took over the role of the late Rico Yan? My goodness! I don’t know where ABS-CBN got that man! He clearly needed another talent workshop before being asked to step into a lead role!

Remaking a classic is bad decision. I hope the giant TV networks (ABS-CBN, GMA7 and TV5) will stop remaking classic teleseryes and movies and instead create new ones that will appeal to this day’s generation.

For the love of a pet

08.13.2011 · Posted in Interesting!

Heather loves her pet dog so much. It’s been with them for the past three years already and has been a constant source of love at home. The dog is now suffering from mange and Heather is doing her best to get her pet cured.

Her pet was given to her by someone special. They have since broken up but the pet remained a reminder of the good times. Heather will do everything to get her pet well again. Even if that means shelling out more than what she can afford.

Looking for attention

08.05.2011 · Posted in Interesting!

The woman clearly has a craving for media attention. She would do crazy stunts to gain the attention that she just loves. You know what I can somehow understand the woman. Her family and especially her kids no longer talk to her due to past mistakes. Her friends turned their backs on her when she lost her stardom. Only the media was there to chronicle every step she took after her fall.

She’s now more mellow. Yes, she still does some crazy stunts but not as huge as it used to. She now just turned to wearing funny t shirts to somehow shock the prim and proper in the crowd.

Ezra and Aria of PLL ;-)

07.26.2011 · Posted in TV Time

I am a huge fan of the Pretty Little Liars books and tv series. I especially like Aria Montgomery played by Lucy Hale and Ezra Fitz played by Ian Harding. They’re a couple in the show although if this kind of relationship happens in real life, it’ll be jail time for Mr. Fitz’s character! You see, they play teacher and high school student. We all know that an intimate relationship between teacher and student isn’t permitted in our society. But in the tv series, they are so cute together you can’t help but root for their relationship!

Here’s a fan art, a picture of the two of them with a conversation they had on one of the episodes in season 1…

Aria-Ezra Fanpic

Aria: You wanna be real? Forget about theory. What does it feel like when we’re together?
Ezra: Good, it feels… right. I wanna be with you, I wanna hang out at the bar, introduce you to my friends, split a plate of fries like everybody else but I don’t think we can do that.
When I’m with you I don’t care about anybody else.
Aria: So, are you talking yourself into this or out of it?
Ezra: Yes… No… Maybe.
Aria: Look, we’re here now and it’s just the two of us, and it feels good. So let’s not care together.

You can just feel the fear they have for their illicit relationship at the same time feel their genuine love for each other and their frustration on their situation.

Love them!

I’m such an Ezra-Aria fan!

Like a fish

07.21.2011 · Posted in Interesting!

Marvin swims like a fish. Ever since he was a little kid, that time his parents were advised by his doctors to get him into swimming to strengthen his lungs, he loved being in the water. If you ask him what he would want for a gift, he’d tell you something related to swimming like goggle lenses. That’s the last one he requested from his dad.

Like a fish. That’s how Marvin is described by people close to him. He is a swimming coach for very young kids. He holds swimming lessons at their village’s clubhouse pool. He can’t wait to compete in an international competition that he joined couple of weeks ago.
