Cinematheque Zamboanga Inauguration with Jun Urbano as Guest of Honor

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Your friendly neighborhood "pambansang" blogger of the Philippines had the opportunity to witness the inauguration of a new prestigious landmark in Zamboanga city where the 2nd Zamboanga International Film Festival was also held last February 26 until March 2, 2014. The film festival showcased several Filipino and foreign films especially the independent or indie films at the newly-built Cinematheque Zamboanga of the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP). 

The city was also celebrating their 77th Dia De Zamboanga or Zamboanga Day when I arrived the morning of February 26, 2014 so it was a very festive day for the entire city. Zamboanga Day was anchored on the theme “Build Back Better Zamboanga” - a gargantuan effort to rise again and bring back the glorious days of the city after its terrible dilemma dealing with the 23-day conflict between the lawless Muslim elements and government forces which resulted to many displaced families.

The Cinematheque Zamboanga, conveniently located in the heart of the city along Legionnaire Road and very near the popular Paseo Del Mar and Plaza Del Pilar, is the country's biggest art-house movie theater with 180 seats as compared to the 120-seat standard that can be found at the Cinematheques in Davao, Iloilo and Baguio. It can also be used as a venue for workshops and symposiums to enhance the skills of our local film makers.

Selfie with Ellen DeGeneres at the Oscars

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I am betting you are you one of the billions of people tuned in at the Oscars.  However, aside from getting to know the proud winners, there's been a yearly tradition that has been going on and much anticipated as well: the Ellen DeGeneres "selfie".

Ellen DeGeneres just won the Internet with this star-studded selfie. Ellen's Oscars 'Selfie' is one of the most retweeted and most favorited post of all time. The post above has been retweeted over 1M times and climbing as of this writing. Only Ellen can do this at the Oscars.


Too bad Jared Leto got cut off at the left side. Jared didn't get in the shot but he won!!! Kevin Spacey photo-bombed them all. He is awesomely devious even when photobombing! I wonder if Brad Pitt asked him "What's in the box?!" Bradley Cooper in the front, can you say yes please?!  Is it just me or does Julia Roberts look drunk as hell? Lol! Is that Angelina Jolie trying to block her face or was she waving?? I think this is the first pic ever that Angelina was cut out LMAO. Can barely see Channing Tatum, but he's there. I love how Lupita's brother got in this pic, and she's way in the back. Jennifer Lawrence fell as she was walking in. Yeah we saw that.

Every Pinay deserves to have this Special Summer issue of Women's Health for March 2014. Aside from the stunningly-sexy cover photo of Megan Young - the Philippines very first Miss World and the very essence of what a dream lady really is - brains, beauty, and body, the magazine is also filled with practical tips and stuff you can do at home to get your beach-ready body. Perfectly in time for summer!

Megan Young shares her confidence-boosting secrets, plus how to get a bikini belly now by knowing the 10 moves to flatten your abs fast just in time for summer before you wore those skimpy swimsuits. Also, is there anything else sexier than learning how to have sexier sex? Feasts also on tasty low-calorie cocktails and frozen treats, and learn how to outsmart your cravings to keep fit and trim.

I hope this issue also encourages our ladies to flaunt their sexy bodies so beach-bumming would be a lot more fun and invigorating. I guess its time to bring back the six-pack abs I lost after months of splurging on restaurant delicacies. Everyone looks drop=dead gorgeous in their two-piece bikini (or swimming trunks - for men) under the warm embrace of sunshine while walking along the shores or sitting idly at a beach front.
