The Artist - Grand Slam Winners at Oscars 2012

The film "The Artist" garnered the most major awards in yesterday's Oscar Awards.

The Trailer:



The Synopsis:
(as posted on http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1655442/plotsummary)

Outside a movie premiere, enthusiastic fan Peppy Miller literally bumps into the swashbuckling hero of the silent film, George Valentin. The star reacts graciously and Peppy plants a kiss on his cheek as they are surrounded by photographers. The headlines demand: "Who's That Girl?" and Peppy is inspired to audition for a dancing bit-part at the studio. However as Peppy slowly rises through the industry, the introduction of talking-pictures turns Valentin's world upside-down. Written by L. Hamre

It's 1927. Arguably Hollywood's most admired movie screen idol, George Valentin, is enjoying the success of his latest picture, The Russian Affair. He enjoys his work and the adulation he receives by being a movie star, as witnessed by how he hogs the spotlight during The Russian Affair's post-premiere bows. Peppy Miller is an aspiring young actress, who literally and figuratively runs into Valentin at the premiere, which ends up being the launching pad to her Hollywood acting career. The advent of talking pictures brings a reversal to their fortunes as Kinograph, the movie studio where Valentin is under contract, is looking for fresh faces such as Peppy Miller to star in their talking pictures, while Valentin resists the entire notion of talking pictures. Peppy, who appreciates everything that Valentin did for her career, tries to help him as much as she can, but Valentin may have to decide on his own where and if he fits into the Hollywood machine, one where he doesn't think people want to hear him speak. Written by Huggo

Deniesse Joaquin Spends Last Day at the PBB Unlimited House

Today, February 25, 2012 was the last day of housemate Deniesse Joaquin after she was evicted during the 11th Eviction Night of the Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited. Alhough Diennese did not get the lowest text and online votes, she was evicted from the house by Kuya for repeatedly violating house rules.

Carlo Romero

This behavior saved Carlo Romero who got the lowest votes of 14.13%.

Tin Patrimonio

Tin Patrimonio was still very popular with 36.22% of the votes, followed by Seiichi with 28.80% and Dienesse with 20.85%.

Seiichi Ushimi

The Worst US Mistake in Afghanistan

The alleged burning of the Holy Quran of the Islamic faith, weather intentional or a mistake, is the worst nightmare of the US contingency in the unstable Afghanistan. This resulted to numerous protest from across Afghanistan which led to 2 US soldiers killed and fear to NATO soldiers.

The burnt Holy Quran was discovered by Afghan labor inside the Bagram compound where US soldiers are accommodated. US President Barack Obama has already expressed apology to Afghan President Hamid Karzai but this gesture did not appease many Afghans.

Today, Friday, February 24, 2012, a new protest was staged in different parts of the country with 12 deaths were recorded. In the capital Kabul, hundred of protesters marched to the Presidential Palace holding the Taliban flag and chanting "Death to America!" and "Long live Islam!".

In neighboring Pakistan, hundreds of Pakistanis were also staging the same protest which began on February 22, 2012.

Desecration is the worst from of blasphemy. How to appease the Afghans and the Muslims in general is a grand challenge of the US before the grand departure of the NATO troops in 2014.

Pacquiao - Bradley WBO Welterweight Bout on June 9, 2012

Fans of Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao are not at all excited with his coming WBO welterweight bout with Timothy Bradley. The scheduled boxing event will be held on June 9, 2012 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Bradley is the current WBP junior welterweight champion with 28 professional undefeated card.

Many fans are still looking forward to a Cotto, Marquez or Mayweather fight before The People's Champ decides to retire in 2013 for a religious calling. However, I still believe that a Manny Pacquiao - Nonito Donaire fight is the best closing bout of the Bible Ambassador of the Philippines.

Linsanity T-Shirts For Sale

For the  fast popularity of American-Taiwanese NBA sensation Jeremy Lin, his NBA Official "Linsanity: t-shirts are selling like hotcakes in Taiwan. Most stores are out of stock. It will be the same scenario when these t-shirts are available in other Asian cities.

The t-shirt was manufactured by Nike. However, rival Adidas is also making its version.It can be expected that counterfeit Linsanity t-shirts are also being manufactured in China.  To have your own original Linsanity t-shirts, you can order online at NBA store.

This is only the beginning of Kin's business deal. In the coming days, expect that he will be endorsing most household goods and services.

Congrats to Jeremy Lin! The pride of Asia!

Ex-PGMA Says "GUILTY, i am not!"

Former and President-in-Question Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo pleaded not GUILTY on her arraignment today, February 23, 2012,  at the Pasay Regional Trial Court for election sabotage in 2007. PGMA arrived in the court with her husband and children surrounded with security personnel. She was still wearing her neck and back brace to highlight her overacted physical condition. However, she still showed some teeth.

Ex-PGMA waived the reading of the information on the case since she fully understood her indictment. Instead, she just announced her innocence and vowed to respect the rule of law. Former Maguindanao governor Andal Ampatuan, Sr. and former provincial election supervisor Lindal Bedol were co-accused of Congresswoman Arroyo.

Al Galang Replaces Hayden Kho from Vicki Belo's Heart?

It's already official that there will be no more Hayden Kho - Vicki Belo nuptial this year or next year. This was resulted after the alleged womanizing issue of  Hayden Kho with Nancy Castiglione and then Ruffa Mae Quinto. The two ladies mentioned denied their involvement to the break-up. It seemed that Dra. Vicki Belo had just enough. She immediately went to the USA to spend Valentine's Day alone.

After her returned, Belo announced the cancellation of the expected wedding. Hayden Kho immediately posted on his twitter account that Vicki was also guilty of double-crossing dishonesty. However, the video king immediately erased his posting when it got negative reactions from followers and viewers.

He hinted that her former girlfriend had a relationship with Aljarreau "Al" Galang. Al is a yoga instructor and won second runner-up in the 2007 Mossimo Bikini 2007.

Spread throughout this post are hot and sexy photos of Al Galang. I do not know if he and Vicki Belo have an intimate relationship. What I know is that Al Galang is also meaty, young and juicy, just like Hayden Kho - qualities that Vicki might be attracted to.
