PNoy should ditch yellow and start wearing neutral colors

August 8, 2012November 15, 2013 benign0 32 Comments

Seriously, does President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III always have to wear yellow? Even while on relief visits to flood-affected areas in time of disaster? kelangan ba naka yellow talaga pag pupunta sa flood affected areas? kelangan ba may media muna bago umpisahan magbigay ng relief operations?

Gwyneth Paltrow, meet Pinoy Pride

July 29, 2012August 14, 2013 FallenAngel 17 Comments

No, Gwyneth Paltrow is not “endorsing” another Filipino product. It just so happens that every time there is a mention of a Filipino personality/product crossing paths with a foreign celebrity or entity, there’s this free item called Pinoy Pride that comes along with it.

I suppose the thing to do when you are caught and publicly-outed in the middle of some monkey business is to go public with your apology as well — asap!.

July 20, 2012 Kate Natividad 10 Comments

I’m in that age group where many of my friends are either already married or about to get married. Last count, I’ve been to five weddings in the last two years and, by the looks of the way a few more of my friends are going, I’m probably looking at another couple more in the…

The late Dolphy: the Filipino Filipinos were meant to be

July 12, 2012 benign0 13 Comments

He was humble, simple, and funny — three things that endeared him to the Filipino and made him the cultural icon that, specially in death, secured his place in Philippine history. In a country of celebrities-turned-politicians and divinely-anointed officials Dolphy was most famous for his seminal response to calls for him to run for office:…

Celebrity couple ‘Jamich’ burned over Dolphy tweet

July 11, 2012July 11, 2012 benign0 28 Comments

Seems like when the Dolphy also known as the Philippines’ King of Comedy died, the country’s sense of humour died with him.
