i remember the first ever FHM issue na binili ko out of my allowance is the one with Francine Prieto on the cover.

yun na nga, inayawan na siya ng Bubble Gang. well, di naman natin mablame ang Bubble Gang or GMA or even any TV stations. business is business. you have to take the load off when it is not needed anymore.

but at least you could have given Francine a chance to work on other programs? she can do like, nanay nanayan roles na. speaking of nanay, it’s sad the she is left jobless at the time when she needs a job the most: may cancer mom niya. kawawa naman.

so it’s confirmed that Ruffa Gutierrez (or Guttierez? sorry, until now i still get confused with the right spelling) is out of ABS-CBN and off to TV5 (i first thought GMA). but Kris Aquino/Noy Aquino’s sister/James Yap’s wife/Baby Jame’s mother/her parent’s daughter has said something that made Ruffa aggravated, emotional, and finally walked away of “The Buzz” set.

here is the video of the said incident:

way to go, Kris. there goes your brother’s plus points, too.

moments later, monster mom Annabelle Rama, predictably, made a reaction paper on “The S Files” (plus Pia Guanio’s eyeroll reaction is a classic – watch out for 0:14):

here are my 50 peso bill (because two cents? that’s damn small!):

- Kris Aquino is known to be tactless, but just because we know that fact does not mean that she can get away with it. she really needs to know when to shut up.

- i might not like Ruffa at all times because she’s OA, you know? but i am for her this time, because it’s not right to make a joke out of someone’s sadness. especially if the joke is not really designed for comfort. it’s like losing your wallet and your friends will laugh at you because you’re broke.

- Raymond Gutierrez is gay.

- Pia Guanio needs to know when to not roll her eyes. on national TV.

- after listening to monster mom’s phone patch, Annabelle Rama reminds me of this video clip:

RUBI

i remember back then that Rubi was a hit. but even back then, i was not really paying attention to that said telenovela from Mexico (prolly because i was not into ABS-CBN much before or that i already have a life back then lol). but the remake really made check the clock and see if it is already on the TV.

hands down, Angelica  fits the role. although it would have been better (or not) if they slated Angel Locsin to play the role of the conniving and ruthless gold digger. but Angelica is a safe choice and a good ingenue nevertheless. also starring are Shaina Magdayao, Diether Ocampo, Jake Cuenca, and Ms. Cherie Gil among others…

DIVA

as for GMA-7, i also like their newest offering. a breath of fresh air

the first “Kantaserye” (it sounds really funny, sorry), Diva is a story of three singers with different personalities: The Wannabe (played by Rufa Mae), The Rival (played by Glaiza de Castro), and The Anything But…. (played by Regine Velasquez).

never really a big fan of Regine, but I find this series really promising. plus Rufa Mae. yeesss….

also starring are TJ Trinidad, Buboy Garuvilyo(spelling?), Mark Anthony Fernandez, Jaya, and Ms. Gloria Diaz among others.

now these two are worth watching. so stop the network wars crap and support Philippine Television instead!

mara: ganda ng bangs mo ate clara. kaso what's with the face? nakadisplay ka pa naman sa photoframe. clara: grrr...

i was just thinking randomly what makes a Pinoy soap opera, a Pinoy soap opera. last night, i wrote all the facts i have observed while watching Habang may buhay:

1.) if it has Judy Ann Santos on a primetime.

2.) if the lead gets separated from his/her family.

3.) Pinoy soap opera is a small world. you will never know you have already met your mom.

4.) there’s kidnapping involved.

5.) kontrabidas, regardless of how sexy and girly, know how to man a gun.

6.) goons are always panget.

7.) you will instantly know if the kontrabida has an evil scheme when she turns her back on the people.

8.) yaya knows something you don’t know.

9.) seriously, what’s wrong with being adopted?

10.) palaging may naoospital.

11.) don’t mess with your lola. either she can kick ass or she has high blood.

12.) if the lead is rich, the love interest is poor or vice versa.

13.) rich people always eat hotdogs for breakfast.

14.) kontrabidas can’t deal with their insecurities. all the time.

15.) haba ng hair ng love interest. pinag aagawan. all the time.

16.) leads can’t dress up properly.

17.) pag di nabibigyan ang gusto, magagalit kay inay.

18.) neighbors are chismosas.

19.) neighbors will make chismis even in front of you, causing a commotion.

20.) pag nalaman ni bida na mayaman pala ang totoong pamilya, pupunta ng States at englisera na pagbalik.

well that’s all i can think of, for now. if you have anything to add, just leave it as a comment!

BYE KAPUSO! HELLO KASHAKE!

so that means wala nang pambungad sa magandang umaga sa UNANG HIRIT, and looks like we need another host to be marooned for the next season of Survivor:Philippines (GOD forbid wag lang si Raymond).

in TV5, Paolo Bediones will not just be an on-screen talent, but also a program executive. so i guess it is also a good move for him. although, 14 years ha? sakit din nun. parang nawalan ng BF ang GMA-7 nyan. lolz

Godspeed, Paolo!

Jennylyn's FHM cover for November 2009. pic courtesy of Starmometer.com

Jennylyn, although already a mom of one, still has her wetwew body in place and looking without of a trace of a lactating mom.imight add, she looks even better now. how’s that for a behlat, Patrick?

as how i see it from the cover, she looks like a yaya just woken up trying to wax the floor. how do you see it? hehe

catch Jennylyn in her primetime drama Ikaw Sana, together with Pauleen Luna, and i-don’t-know-why-people-find-him-hot-and-cute-but-i-don’t-know Mark Herras, who is rumored to be his lovey dovey as of late. i do not watch TV that much anymore but i think the time slot of Ikaw Sana is right before 24 oras.
