48TH LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Honoree: Mary Tyler Moore

I know that most of the viewers of the television specially during the prime time, watch only those shows of which its main casts are all popular. I just don’t know how many viewers who want to watch a tv show which is packed with good values. If you are looking for one, then you can watch the 5 Girls and a Dad, aired by Net-25.

Net-25 which is known for its tech show, Convergence, and religious programs such as the Ang Tamang Daan and other programs of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, aired for the first time its first drama series, 5 Girls and a Dad, on Monday night, January 23, 2012 and will be aired from Monday to Friday at 7:30PM to 8:30PM.

The drama series was written by the same writer who wrote “Bata, Bata Paano ka Ginawa”, Lualhati Bautista and is directed by Elson Montalba who is also the current head of the newly created “Entertainment Department” of the Net-25.

5 Girls and a Dad is a comedy-drama that focuses on the story of a single father trying to cope up with his life and family after his wife died. This drama series is different from the drama series offered by other channels because Net-25 makes sure that it will promotes good values to viewers.

Richard Quan plays as the father, Lorenzo “Enzo” Legaspi.

Other casts are:

1. Dixie Nedic (Mimay, the eldest)
2. Kate Nizedel (Anna Lisa)
3. Abby Quilnat (Alex)
4. Chesca “Cruzita” Salcedo (Valerie, the child with autism)
5. Lara Quigaman (Veron, the mother)
6. Leo Martinez (Jupiter, Veron’s father)
7. Vangie Labalan, (Venus, Enzo’s mother)

During the Sunday’s Baltimore Ravens vs. New England Patriots AFC Championship game, Steven Tyler, one of the Judges of the “American Idol” sang the National Anthem in a way he sang songs of the Aoresmith.

Watch the video below:

I am just actually wondering: If you are the judge of the American Idol and this Steven Tyler with his costume, especially the scarf,  come in and sings the USA National Anthem, what will be your remark?

Will you just say, ohh! what a beautiful scarf!

Who is Kurama in Naruto Story?

Kurama is actually the name of the nine-tailed beast which is also called the nine-tailed demon fox or the Kyuubi which is currently imprisoned inside the body of Naruto. And Naruto, being the host body of the nine-tailed beast, is the Jinchuuriki of Kurama.

The name of the Kyuubi was first revealed through the Naruto Manga Chapter 568. It was the four –tailed beast, or the four-tailed monkey who first divulge the name of the Kyuubi. It happened when Naruto tried to talk the four-tailed beast which was currently under the control of Tobi or the second Madara through the six-path technique originally invented by Pain.

Blue Ivy Carter is the daughter of the singer, Beyonce Knowles and the rapper, Jay-Z (Shawn Carter). She was born naturally (not in c-section as reported by media) in a hospital in Lenox Hill Hospital on Saturday night (January 7, 2012).

The middle name of the baby which is Ivy is derived from the Roman numeral equivalent of number 4 in reference to the number in the life of the couple, according to speculations. It should be taken note that Beyonce and Jay-Z were married on April 4, 2008. Beyonce’s birthday is September 4 and that of Jay-Z is December 4.

While the name Blue is inspired by the series of albums of Jay-Z which is called Blueprint.

Beyonce allegedly booked the entire 4^th floor of the New York City hospital on January 5, 2012 spending $1.3 million, according to the news media. But this report is not true. According to the statement of the Lenox Hill Hospital, the family is housed in an executive suite at the hospital and is billed in standard rate based on the accommodation.

When Charice became popular internationally, her mother and she told the media that she would be changing her name instead of using the family name, Pempengco, the name of her father, she would instead use the name of her mother. The reason for this was that they don’t want to carry the name, Pempengco, into her popularity because for her her father was just a disgrace, and she did not want her father to take part of all the good things that she would have.

What they’d done to Ricky (Charice’s father) have been slapped by Ricky’s sister (Charice Aunt) to their face by saying through the media, “Charice… here’s your father whom you abandoned. So, you are now happy for he’s now dead.”

During the wake of her father (Her father was stabbed to death by an assailant who is also a neighbour.) Charice told the media that she wanted to tell her father that she loves using his name and that he’s part of her success.

Well, it’s a little bit confusing. But I understand why she contradicted her previous words because Charice is just human… subject to change.
By the way, the killer of Ricky Pempengco, Angel Capili Jr, surrendered already to the authorities through a Barangay Captain. And that Barangay Captain will receive 200K Pesos as bounty for the head of the killer.

Angel, as showed through a national TV report, admitted his crime and asked forgiveness to Ricky’s family for what he did.

On the other hand, Charice revealed to the media that she would not forgive Angel because Angel seems (to Charice) not really sorry.

And just a little trivia…. During a press conference, Charice sang a song, “Angel”, and she dedicated it to her father.

I just learned today from a news report that Ramon Revilla Sr has 72 children in 16 different women. But I think, even if the number of his children is as huge as that but he supported their needs. And as proof to that, all his children have good relationship even if authorities investigating the death of Ram is considering a case wherein Ram is killed due to a trouble with his siblings regarding their monthly allowances.

A father who has that huge family and supported them well is considered by me a productive father.

However, the term “productive father” does not only refer to a man like former Senator Ramon Revilla Sr. It also refers to a father of one or more but supported well his child or children and stands firm as a real parent.

How they won?

Do they deserved the grand prize of PhP 2 Million? This is what other people are asking.

I was reading forums talking about the grand final of the Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3 especially about the winner, the Maasinhon Trio. There are some commenters who said that the winners do not deserved the title because for them other contestant’s performance were better compared to the Maasinhon Trio’s.

Well for me, all the contestants competing in the final stage of the contest are all good and they performed best. But we should understand that what made a contestant a winner is the votes of their supporters.

In the case of the Maasinhon Trio, Southern Leytenhon, especially the Maasinhons were united in supporting the Maasinhon Trio. They voted them via SMS or other means. My sister and my aunt from Malitbog, Southern Leyte even voted several times. Southern Leytenhons do not look at who will get the 2 Million and where it will go. They simply wanted to push the three Maasinhons up, for them to get the 2 Million and the title, so that in return these three people will make us all here proud.

So, Maasinhon Trio really deserve the title and the grandprize.
