Just Watched Two Movies A While Ago

I am really having a vacation.  A vacation to be away from my online job.  It is also because I am busy with myself processing for graduation for this week.  Tomorrow I have to go the city for a photo shoot and to the bank.

This afternoon I went to a salon to scrape my split ends on my hair.  It turned out that my long hair went to a not-so-very-long-at-all and my head feels light because it's thin.  Haven't take a snapshot of my hair yet.

I never spent a movie marathon by the time I got my online job, until then I have my so-called vacation, I just watched Here Comes The Bride.  Just click the image to read the synopsis from Star Cinema.  You will never regret watching the movie because from the beginning until the end, you always keep on laughing.

I really admire more Angelica Panganiban for being a versatile actress.  She can handle the characters from being so sweet and conservative girl to a liberated one.  Just like what she did on the teleserye, Rubi.  It was funny by the time they had swapping their souls and the swapping of their characters.  All the main actors, Angelica Panganiban, Eugene Domingo, John Lapuz, Tuesday Vargas and Jaime Fabregas really did a great job for the movie.  The coolest wedding movie flick I've ever seen.  If you are sad, it is best to watch this movie all over again.  Cool thing, there was Kuya Kim Atienza as himself and of course, giving trivia to them on what happened to themselves.

To Infinity and Beyond! The favorite line of Buzz Lightyear.  Here's also Woody, the best buddy of Andy.  Andy is now all grown-up going to college and it seems that he is not going to play his toys anymore.  Woody, as the best buddy, will be going to college with Andy while the rest would be in the attic.  Until the toys except Woody put in a trash bag, and accidentally picked up mom and thrown outside waiting for a garbage truck.  The adventure begins on the journey while Woody saving them from the Sunnyside Daycare to get them back on the attic.  It is a very long story but there's a touching part of it.  Andy found a note written by Woody that the toys should be given to a kid that is so special who really knows how to take care of toys.  He brought the toys to the little girl and played it the very last time before going to college.  It is a relieved for Andy that his toys are well taken care of.

I Am Greatly Dismayed Of The Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash Of 2010

Who won the Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash Edition?


I never watched the Big Night because I already knew that a Pinoy would never be the Big Winner.  My bets are my fellow Pinoy, of course, I am a Filipino and the show is intended for Pinoy like me.  I wasn't mistaken but still DISMAYED of the fact that an Australian won the contest that I always repeatedly say INTENDED FOR PINOYS. Take note: he doesn't have any Filipino blood but a pure-blooded Australian.

This is my letter to ABS-CBN.


Hi ABS-CBN,
Honestly, I am greatly dismayed by your show.  I am a PBB fanatic since season 1, but now, I never watched the Big Night of PBB Teen Clash because I already knew that a Pinoy would never win.  The edition never turned out to be the CLASH OF THE PINOY TEENS (the poor and the rich teens) but it turned out to be a CLASH BETWEEN FILIPINOS AND INTERNATIONALS.  The essence of "PINOY" Big Brother got lost. I have no discrimination with the foreigner teens but the show is intended for PINOY as what the title of the show PINOY BIG BROTHER.  For me, it would be acceptable if you had change the format and called it INTERNATIONAL BIG BROTHER so any nationality could join the show. The teenternationals don't have any blood of a Pinoy.  It is very unfair for me being a Filipino, I joined a contest intended for Pinoy, then here comes the teenternational...  Honestly, the viewers already drawn to the teenternationals instead of the Pinoy.  These foreigners are cute, handsome, charming and beautiful than the Filipinos.
It just reminds me of the show hosted by Sarah Geronimo for the SINGING TALENT with the contestants Charice Pempengco and Sam Concepcion.  My bet for that contest was Charice Pempengco because of her vocal power but Sam Concepcion got the crown because he is HANDSOME.  Where is Charice right now? She is now in Hollywood to be part of Glee because of her talent in singing.  Now, Pinoy Big Brother, which is intended for PINOY... but who won??? An Australian Guy who doesn't have any blood of a Pinoy??? How much more with the 2nd placer, A KOREAN???
About Big Brother, what is the purpose of having a franchise here in the Philippines? The show is intended for Filipinos living in a house monitored with camera 24/7.  It is just like with PILIPINAS GOT TALENT, showcasing the talents of the Pinoy.  Come to think of it? 
ABS-CBN, I don't know what you are thinking right now.  Okay it is part of the business that beautiful faces are the key to have a lot of money and because of them, you gained money.  As a Filipino living in the Philippines, it is a shame on my part that Filipinos are not supporting fellow Filipinos.  It is like Filipinos are not proud of their own raise, THE BROWN RAISE.

Shamefully yours,

Roxanne Tamayo

I am not against with the management but I just want Filipinos to wake up.  I can relate this to reality that Filipinos cannot find good opportunities in our own land.  People go abroad to have a good job and good earnings for their family.  That is why our country is not progressive.

Pinoy Big Brother With The Teen-Internationals

I've been a fan of Pinoy Big Brother since the first season, the celebrities and the teen edition. What I am proud of is that Filipinos have the time to showcase their talents and what they can do for themselves.

The first broadcasting of the Big Brother was in the Netherlands. Many countries picked this already from Spain, Germany, USA, Portugal, UK, Sweden, and Belgium and among other countries. This reality tv show became a hit in 70 countries. The name of the show came from the 1948 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.

This edition of the Pinoy Big Brother is Teen Clash of 2010. I wondered what does it mean until I watched the first few episodes. Truly it was a clash between the rich and poor kids. Few weeks later, they had guests from other countries like in Korea, Singapore, Australia, and Canada. They are called as the Teenternationals. These folks are pure blooded foreigners with no streaks of Pinoy blood, obviously. They are living in the Philippines for how many months or years and they knew how to live here. First I knew is that they were just bed spacer in the PBB house so I thought that few weeks later, they will leave the house for few tasks. I never thought that Big Brother allowed them to be a part of the Top 6 together with the Pinoy teens.

The clash became between the Pinoy teens and the Teenternationals, Philippines versus International countries. There is no doubt that these teenternationals are also competitive in order to be on the top 6.

Tricia got evicted the other night and it turns out that there are 4 teenternationals and 3 Pinoy teens left. By the time the teen-internationals are included in the competition, all I can say is VERY UNFAIR. Why did I say such?

What's the use of the title of the show PINOY Big Brother if some of the contestants don't have the Filipino blood? Isn't it unfair that Teenternationals have more contestants than the Pinoy teens? It would be an insult to us that the show for us Filipinos have been won by a person from another country. Isn't it a shame? Aren't you proud of your own raise?

I am not discriminating foreigners and I am not anti-foreigner. I wish they changed the title from Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash Edition to International Big Brother Teen Clash Edition.
