Cafe Mediterranean

Ive been a long time fan of this cozy resto since the early 00's...
Love their healthy menu which covers the best cuisines from various exotic mediterranean countries.

The menu is a lil bit pricey but still reasonable for authentic and delicious dishes they served.
my faves: gyros, mediterranean fish fillet, kebab pizza, panino vegetario

Gael and Diego Together again!

Diego

Gael

Seven years ago, Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna shocked the hell out of us with their infamous scene in the hit film "Y tu mama tambien". Now the two talented mexican actors are reunited again on the big screen in "Rudo Y cursi". But this time they will play brothers who become rivals in the world of soccer. Let me assure you that there would be no incestuous subtext in this latest film. LOL! Anyway ive been a long time fan of Mr. Bernal before he became famous. I remember seeing him for the first time during my "intl film fest buff" days in a movie theater with "Amores Peros" (2000). Since then I never miss the opportunity to see every single film of this daring actor.

Wendy and Lucy

Wendy and Lucy is one of the few gems I discovered and one of my top favorite films of 2008. The story revolves around a young enemployed woman named Wendy (Michelle Williams) embarking on a long journey by driving a car together with her lovable dog (Lucy) to seek a greener pasture in the state of Alaska . The films conflicts all started during Wendy's brief stopover to a bleak and unfamiliar town. That's where she encounters a domino effect petty disasters that would really affect her whole journey. The major plus of the film is Michelle Williams superb, understated and subtle performance that completely takes my breathe away. I am really in awe with the capacity of this talented woman since her breakthrough role in 2005's Brokeback Mountain. On the level she achieved today as one of the great actresses makes you really forget her involvement with the popular teen drama during the late 90's. Wendy is the most relatable character I've ever seen in years. I can really feel her pain and misery during the entire film. The connection she can make out of her character with the viewers is amazing. Another thing to admire is the realistic execution of indie director Kelly Reichardt. He created a topical film that mirrors the state of the people affected by the recent crisis not only of America but also in around the globe. The film is really meditative and simple yet totally engaging. I feel really immersed from the glut of recent viewing of commercial films after watching Wendy and Lucy. The sad heartbreaking ending trully lingers on my mind until the credits have rolled.

Jason Statham

The star of popular action films (Transporter & Crank) is now officially included on my list of hollywood hotties! Jason really oozes with lots of rough daddy sex appeal. The most handsome action star ever! Im not really into dumb action thingy but I promise from now on that im goin to appreciate all his movies... and body as well. Yummylicious!!!

merienda at Sango

Jason, Chris and I tried to visit Sango (the burger master) at Creekside mall, Makati branch yesterday. We ordered the yummy tasting Master cheeseburger and fries. Love the soft sweet buns!

The Reader

In the beginning of the film the story leans toward more to an unusual love story between a 15 year old boy Michael (David Kross) and a mature woman Hanna (Kate Winstlet) during the summer of post war Germany. It all started when Hanna seduces the boy on one of his visits tio her apartment. Their dalliances repeated everytime they see other. This is coupled by readings of a book by Michael to Hanna as somehow a foreplay with their intimate encounters. The illicit affair lasted only during the summer. Then the film turns to unexpected dark tone on the latter part. This is due for the fact that after long years, when Michael becomes a law student, they cross paths again during a Nazi trial involving Hanna accused of the deaths of hundred jews.

At first I thought The reader is another holocaust movie that Hollywood keep churning out lately. But it is not... It refreshingly sheds some light with a different perspective in regards to the dark part of the history during the Nazi era. Rather the film is about guilt and redemption. A personal guilt and guilt for the atrocities made bythose involved during the war. In connection to this are the complexities of human nature's action that is sometimes hard to comprehend and explain without ways for a solution. Watching this film should be viewed with an open mind to fully grasp what is really lurking behind the minds of these people. The tormented characters of Kate Winslet, Ralph Fiennes and David Kross are so intensely played with much gusto. A good film indeed.

Retro Hunks

"Blast from the past"

My two tv crushes during the early 90's:

Eric Nies (MTV)

Billy Warlock (Baywatch)

Chris Cayzer

Chris an upcoming rising singer who is so heavenly cutie ...... a rare thing in the pinoy music scene...

Madonna and Lil Wayne?

Out of nowhere a snippet of a brand new Madonna and Lil Wayne song collaboration are surprisingly making rounds the net. The song is entitled "Triggerman". But there's no Madonna voice on the snippet.It might be from Madonna's upcoming greatest hits album due this fall. The full cd quality version of the song should be coming out soon. Whoa! After the Hard Candy cd, we'll get more hip hop Madonna in the future???

Breathless

Breathless/ A bout de Souffle (1960) is a groundbreaking and influential film of french director Jean Luc Godard. The film launched the french new wave movement (nouvelle vague) and movies were never the same again. It became uber famous because of the unconventional way of editing (jump cut) and by using hand held camera at that time. Well that's it..... I think Breathless is a bit overrated. Yes its status of being the pioneer in technical aspects of filmmaking cant be denied. But I am really not blown away nor intrigued by the plot either. There's much more other captivating classic films during this era that's worth of undivided attention.

My father's bday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA!!!!

The coolest and sweetest guy in the universe.

Wolverine

Wolverine is not a horrible film but not very good either. Nothing special....the action is not that impressive...The story is not engaging enough. Its just that The Dark Knight raised the bar when it comes to making films adapted from comic books.

The Kiss: John and Luis

The “intimate scene” between Luis Manzano and John Lloyd Cruz as lovers in Star Cinema’s "In My Life" was finally shot last week on the Brooklyn Bridge, with the breathtaking Manhattan skyline as backdrop.

Kissing John loyd??? Luis is such a lucky guy!

Can't wait to see this monumental film with my mother in September! LOL

Exclusive: the "other" revealed!

Jesus the guy who recently broke my heart.... after five months of a whirlwind romance with him and being unfaithful to my original love of my life, I finally decided to call it quits. He was the one who inspired me to write poems for the past few months. The guy who treid to re-energized my slumbering heart. I admit I fell in love with him. Never felt this kind of thing in a long while. Junior knows the strategy how to make me fall in love. He was very consistent in everything for being romantic. He brought me to a new heights that Ive never been. He was the sweetest guy i've ever met... I thought he was the "too good to be true" guy. I thought he's the next best thing.... But I am so wrong... It was just all for the show. A great actor indeed! He's a filthy liar ever to be born alive on earth! The painful experience with Junior made me a cynical person. In the past, I was forever the hopeful person in terms of love. For the first time in my entire life, as stupid or as cliche as it may sound, I started to believe from now on that no straight guy will ever love a gay person. For all the queers out there, forgive me if my thinking is so backward or so light years away from you guys....I must admit I really enjoy being with him even its painful. But thats enough... At least I have the good memories that Im goin to keep for the rest of life. Well, regarding with my straight lover Jason its another story.... Im sorry love. I promise this is the end.

BOYSTOWN

SALO

Salo is the most shocking film I've ever seen in my entire life. The film is very controversial made in 1975 and directed by the great Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini. It is loosely based on the works of Marquis De Sade's "120 days of Sodom" and Dante's "Inferno". Pasolini created a highly symbolic and well made artistic endeavor. The film deals with lots of degradation, cruelty, torture, sexual abuse towards young boys and girls. One of the infamous scenes shows a young woman forced to eat feces and later a banquet of feces were also served to the whole cast. I squirmed with disgust while viewing the controversial scenes. Salo has the most violent scenes ever to be put into a film. At story's end, the children are gruesomely murdered some scalped, tongue and eyes cut out. Living at present in an era of mushrooming violent films like "Saw" franchise, Im still disturbed, stunned and left cold after watching this classic masterpiece.

FYI, the 1998 Criterion DVD edition was withdrawn due to some licensing conflicts and became a collectors item. The price of the original DVD ranges from $250 to $1000, making it the most expensive sought after DVD.

Bear Grylls

"Hero of Discovery Channel"

Cutie Bear Grylls is my longtime tv crush... I find him really hot and sexy! Makes me more interested in watching Discovery channel.

Mads at Costume Gala

Madonna is the center of attention again when she attended The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala ball. Dressed in a navy Louis Vuitton mini dress, thigh-high black boots and with a outrageous hair piece tied around her hair. The always controversial Queen of Pop also showed up with her current handsome boy toy Jesus Luz.

Love this daring and wacky Madonna!!!! Its like the wild ol days of M! She's having fun again! Its good she ditched the English Lady Manor image along with her ex husband!

Jesus is so handsome! no wonder Mads looks stunning and radiant nowadays!

The Mariah Conspiracy Theory

MC is pissed that all her recent singles have been bombing on the music charts and believes there is a record industry conspiracy against her. The songs Bye bye, I stay in love, ill be loving u a long time have been airplay and sale flops. Her new single with The Dream, titled My love, is sinking faster than Titanic could ever dream of." What the heck! There's no conspiracy here. ... Bad single choices, annoying attitude and age are the main reasons she is flopping to the max recently.

Aaron Villaflor

Aaron, an adorable teen and Star Circle Quest 2 winner is finally getting the attention he greatly deserves. I noticed recently that his looks are getting more handsome as days goes by. He is also developing a yummy bod that would make gays dazed and drools with glee. Aaron is one of the latest cutie teens to watch out for!

Pokerface acoustic version

the talented lady gaga.... the next madonna????

Matt Evans

PBB teen Matt Evans is the latest addition on my growing list of celebrity crushes. Cute and yummy! Hate the afro thingy of the past. Love the new look!

next boy wonder

My ever dear mamang is an avid viewer of this pinoy religious/drama series entitled "May Bukas Pa". Recently, I got the time to bond with my granny by watching together the primetime drama. The main character is a young boy named Santino, played by Zaijan Jaranilla instantly caught my undivided attention. Alas! I find the kid really cute and talented. Never seen for a very long time a witty and charming child actor like this since Nino Mulach. Like this kid!

Joey Pepperoni Pizzeria

After an ala "world war" fight for the nth time with Jason in the wee hours of the morning, my bff Ruffa and I went to MOA to have some bonding time. While we were walking along some restos at the mall, we passed by Joey Pepperoni Pizzeria. At that very minute, we decided to have some brunch at this quaint and cozy resto coz we were really craving for pizza since last night. Well, first of all, the meals on their menu is not pricey for an italian cuisine. As we both comfortably seated, we immediately browse the menu and ordered the works pizza "12, aglio and penne cota pasta. After a few minutes of waiting and chatting, the foods arrived on our table presentably. I noticed that their servings are not large enough. The first dish I tried is their the works pizza. It has a thin crust and includes smoked ham, pepperoni, bacon, salami, beef, onions and bell pepper It smelled really delicious which reminds me of my all time fave Shakeys manager's choice pizza. The crust is chewy and crunchy. It tasted quite really good. The pizza sauce is not too tangy or sweet... Next I tasted the aglio pasta. Gosh its so yummy and simple. The sauce consist only of garlic fried in olive oil and pepper flakes. The taste is salty and so appetizing but not too overpowering. It became my instant favorite at that very moment. The penne cotta pasta is also well recommended but nothing special. I so love this resto... Im depressed but I forgot my woes while eating their sumptuous dishes. he he he... In times like these and for recessionistas out there looking for a good place to dine in, I highly recommend Joey Pepperoniz Pizzeria.... Reasonable price for a delicious food.
