" Now Showing "

I can't get enough of "The girl with the golden tattoo",
and if you haven't watched it yet, I recommend the original suede version,
it's a trilogy actually, based on the novel by Stieg Larsson.

how about you, any interesting films you've watched lately.
This foto was taken on the streets of Rizal avenue and Recto.

Happy weekend everyone!

" One day "

For those of you who're not familiar with this name.
Dilson is an old cinema house here in Rizal Avenue along Recto.
Already quite dilapidated but not abandoned,
it features unwanted movies and films that are strictly for adults only.

A pity that such a classic cinema house could end up like this.
Nowadays, if it's not downloaded, most of us rushed to the mall to watch a movie,
leaving establishments like this into bankruptcy.

" Pinoywood "

First there was the set and then the bright lights and people hovering around the area.
Either there was a commotion or a film shooting for that matter.
What I've witnessed was for a t.v. series anyway,
It's called 100days to heaven.

You have to excuse the post for its all too blurry and almost unrecognizable images,
It's the best I could do from this angle. ^0^



This is the main cast, the upcoming wonder child star Xyriel Manabat.
I have to commend this kid, she can play nice and naughty at the same time
and i think she's only 7-ish yrs.old. ^0^





and these two actresses are co-stars in this series as well.


the shoot went on for awhile, but I didn't stay long,
meanwhile, onlookers were still wandering in the area.

ps: one of the crew asked me nicely if was taking fotos with flash in it.
I smiled and said of course not,
it's broad daylight, i don't think you really needed one. ^0^




Pinoys love the fame and glamour of hollywood-ish done in Filipino style,
they're curious about their life and all the intrigues and whatnot,
so even when you're not interested,
sometimes, you sort of don't have a choice because
it's what giant t.v. networks feeds its viewers here.


so, are you a telly fanatic? ^0^

"Stars seen at Christmas" take One!

Happy 2010 to everyone!
Thank you "all" for your inspiring comments!

Alas, back from our holiday trip... very tiring, still sleepy zZzZz...
but a total rest & relaxation for the past few days.
Still wishing it's yesterday or the day before and certainly will be missing my ultimate vacation. haha!
Now, i'm stuck with a whole bunch of fotos which i can't post here bec. it's not related to manila...
oh well... ^-^

"Pinoys"- filipinos have a thing for celebrities, we like to gossip, the glitz and the glamour, the who's in and
who's out of the circle. The media likes to make a big fuss as well as the society likes to debate about it.
It's supposed to be last year's... but to upload these fotos would take me forever as i don't have a wifi connection.

Every year, the MMFF ( metro manila film festival ) would have its annual Parade here in Manila,
More like the Oscar/golden globe kind of thing.
It's a sought after event as gigantic floats would passed by hoping to catch a glimpse of famous Pinoy celebrities.
Usually they would start off at the Quirino grandstand going all the way to the Aliw theatre.
But this year it's the other way around.

Getting to know who they are...
This is my first attempt, it's obviously the wrong angle bec. i was on the 3rd floor of our condo and so all i could see were these humongous trees blocking my view....



as this bus was arriving, i took some costumey figures of guys in ninja outfits!







and soon it's arrived! "Panday" the movie- starring Bong Revilla ( the one in the red shirt) who's also currently our Senator and running for a re-election.



He won Best actor for this movie.
It's said that this was the most extravagant and lavish budget, from an all star cast to the production.



The leading lady in this film is Iza Calzado, that would be her wearing the white gown.



see the three guys sitting over there.... yup, they're the supporting actors.




and so the saga continues for " Mano Po 6 " produced by Mother Lily Monteverde
starring: Sharon Cuneta - the one on the left side who's waving and smiling.
and also the other casts included on this movie.







Do you know Manny Pacquiao? the Pound for pound, ultimate Boxer of all time,
who won 7 titles at the moment and plans to defeat Mayweather Jr. on the next fight?
well, he's the main character in this Movie called "Wapakman"
He plays an ordinary man with special powers...
Bad publicity before the movie was even shown, he was rumored to have a fling with one of his leading ladies.



well, Pacquiao fans were kind of dissapointed as he's a no-show in this parade event.
the one wearing the red suit was supposed to be him.



funny thing, i overheard a kid talking with his father,
he said: dad, why would Pacquiao not take off his mask so we can take a good look at him....





~and more of this tomorrow! ^0^
