Wu Chun and Calvin Chen in the Philippines

Wu Chun and Calvin Chen finally arrived in the Philippines last July 12. Upon arriving at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, their Filipino fans were already lining up in front of the airport holding up their corresponding banners. They had such a hectic schedule promoting their TV Series Romantic Princess in various shows in ABS-CBN. In particular, they had TV guestings in Pinoy Dream Academy 2, ASAP 08 and The Buzz wherein they were interviewed by Mr. Boy Abunda and Ms. Ruffa Gutierrez. Wu Chun and Calvin Chen were both so adorable whenever they said "Mahal ko kayo" to their screaming lady fans from different parts of Asia :-)

"My Monster Mom" Movie Review

Last Saturday, my younger sister and I watched the much-awaited film of Ms. Annabelle Rama entitled My Monster Mom. The said movie was produced by Regal Films and GMA Films and it also starred Ms. Ruffa Gutierrez (Annabelle's real life daughter), JC de Vera, Mart Escudero, Michelle Madrigal, Iwa Moto, Eugene Domingo, Rhian Ramos, among others. Annabelle's husband and son (Eddie and Richard Gutierrez) also had a cameo appearance in the movie.

Actually, I seldom watch Filipino movies but after watching the trailer of My Monster Mom in GMA 7, I found it so amusing that I decided to give it a try. And guess what? I have no regret watching the movie because it's really GREAT! The story is simple yet very humorous and family-oriented. I find Ms. Annabelle Rama's Visayan accent really entertaining and her acting is really so natural especially in the way that she delivered her dialogues. Her dialogue "Batuhin kita ng brilyante ko!" (I'll throw you my diamond!) is my favorite line in the movie. Ms. Ruffa Gutierrez's acting is also superb! After watching her in Desperadas early this year, I realized that Ruffa can also do comedy and she didn't fail me in My Monster Mom. Her Americanized way of speaking Tagalog is so contagious that sometimes I wanted to sound like her :-) Their mother-daughter chemistry is indeed well-shown in this movie. I also give two thumbs-up for Rhian Ramos for playing the younger Annabelle Rama. She said in one of her interviews that she studied how to speak Tagalog with a Visayan accent as preparation for her role in the movie. She played her role really well you'll never notice that she never speak Visaya in her entire life. The movie is trying to tell us that no matter how much we sometimes hate our mom for interfering with every aspect of our lives, they are still our mother and they know what is best for us. I'm going to rate My Monster Mom 4/5 and I hope that there will be a sequel to this movie next year. How about My Monster Mom Goes to New York? :-)

Here is the trailer of My Monster Mom.

Wu Chun will visit the Philippines on July 12

My sister and I were watching TV Patrol World (ABS-CBN) last Friday when Phoemela Barranda suddenly announced that Wu Chun is going to visit the Philippines on July 12 together with his fellow Romantic Princess star and Fahrenheit member Calvin Chen. My sister can't help herself from screaming to the top of her lungs when she heard about this good news because she is really a fan of Wu Chun even before Hana Kimi was shown on ABS-CBN. For those of you who don't know, Wu Chun is one of the hottest heartthrobs nowadays not only in Taiwan but also in other parts of Asia (including Philippines).

Wu Chun was born on October 10, 1979 in Brunei Darussalam from a wealthy family who owns Goh Hock Kee which is the distributor company of Mitsubishi in Brunei. He graduated from the RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. Aside from being an actor and a singer (he is a member of the Taiwanese boyband Fahrenheit), he was also a former model and gym instructor (that explains his super sexy body). Wu Chun can speak English fluently which is also a plus factor!

Oh boy, Filipino fans are already looking forward to see Wu Chun :-)

"Aking Mundo" - Dyesebel OST

I really fell in love with the theme song of the newest GMA Telefantasya - Mars Ravelo's Dyesebel starring Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes. The song was entitled "Aking Mundo" and was sung by Sugarpop's Julie Ann San Jose.

Here are the music video and the lyrics of "Aking Mundo"



Dagat man ay naiiba
Sa lupa n'yang mahiwaga
Ang nais ko, sana'y minsan pa
Makita sya't makasama pa
Tahakin ang kanyang mundo
Na hawak sya habang tumatakbo
Sa puso ko ay nadarama
Na sa piling n'ya bawat sandali'y malaya.

Paano kaya'ng mabuhay?
Mundo n'ya kaya'y makulay?
Puso'y taglay ang tinding saya
Sa t'wing makikita sya.

Dagat man ay naiiba
Sa lupa n'yang mahiwaga
Ang nais ko, sana'y minsan pa
Makita sya't makasama pa
Tahakin ang kanyang mundo
Na hawak sya habang tumatakbo
Sa puso ko ay nadarama
Na sa piling n'ya bawat sandali'y malaya.

Paano kaya'ng mabuhay?
Kung sa iyo'y mawalay?
Ikaw ang daigdig ng aking puso
Ikaw ang aking mundo.

Dagat man ay naiiba
Sa lupa mong mahiwaga
Ang nais ko, sana'y minsan pa
Makita ka't makasama pa
Tahakin ang iyong mundo
Na hawak ka habang tumatakbo
Sa puso ko ay nadarama
Na sa piling mo bawat sandali'y malaya.
