Have Yourself a Merry Christmas!

On this Christmas Eve, let me wish you and your family a Blessed and Merry Christmas. May your celebration be wonderful and be full of love!

"It’s Christmas Eve. It’s the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer, we smile a little easier, we cheer a little more. For a couple of hours out of the whole year we are the people that we always hoped we would be.”
— Scrooged (1988) – Frank Cross (Bill Murray)

Juan Dela Cruz Coming in 2013 -- Coco Martin, You're The Man!

OMG! Don't get me wrong but I won't exactly consider myself the greatest fan of Coco Martin. Sure, I think he's a fabulous actor and that he deserves a lot of good projects 'coz he has proven his worth! He was even named "Actor of the Decade" by one award-giving body! Indeed, he has come this far from the days when he used to star in little known indie (independent) films. Well, needless to say, most of these indie films brought much honor and award to local actors and directors that I would say they deserve better attention.

Okay, now this blog was inspired by what I just saw on local TV. Apparently, the ABS-CBN Christmas special also included some of the upcoming local soap opera shows to watch out for in 2013. Amazing line-up! But the one that struck me most was the one above where it also stars none other than Coco Martin! He has indeed quite made it to mainstream showbiz. Coco Martin, you're indeed the man of the moment! ^_^

Something to look forward to in the show... it looks like a fantasy action series complete with drama and comedy too! I like it that Erich Gonzales will be playing Coco Martin's love interest. Plus, it looks like the show has a power cast as well. I think I also saw Mylene Dizon, Gina Pareno, Albert Martinez, Jaime Fabregas, among others. I sure hope that this isn't just another hyped up project and that the people behind it will be able to develop the story line well. Please don't disappoint us ABS-CBN! ^_^

Anyway, my mom is now a self-proclaimed huge fan of Coco Martin so I'm sure she will definitely look forward to this one! I hope it gets released within the first quarter of the year 2013!

Are you doing the countdown? It's the start of the Simbang Gabi (Midnight masses) here. Less than nine days to Christmas and counting.......

KC Concepcion Is Back as Palmolive Girl!

I've been looking for this TV commercial since it went live around a week ago or so. It's KC Concepcion once again as Palmolive Naturals Girl! Wow! I sure missed her esp. when she cut her hair, not that I didn't like it. In fact she looked great in her short hair! But now she's back! It's a good thing that she can continue being a Palmolive Girl although her hair is colored. I love the red hair though, makes her look more like a foreign artist than a Filipina artist. ^_^ 

KC Concepcion looks so lovely!

What's next for KC? Her much-awaited teleserye comeback with Judy Ann Santos has been delayed. Boo-hoo! I'm sad about that. It really makes me think that the network plays favorites. Anyway, I'm glad she's also Tanduay Rhum Calendar Girl 2013. But I do hope she gets more visible on TV aside from her weekly stint at ASAP on Sundays.

Remembering My Dad on His Birthday...

It has been almost three years since his passing (January 26, 2010), but he's still very much remembered. For all the things that he taught me and for all that I am, it's like he's still very much around. It would have been his 68th birthday if he were still with us. Happy birthday, Papsy! 

Somehow the passing of a loved one is a personal experience. It changes your own perspective about life and living. At least that was the case for me. I have indeed grown to appreciate people more and material things less. 

I do believe that wherever my dad is now, he's in a far better place. Consider yourself lucky if you still have both of your parents. Do me a favor, if you still have your parents around, hug them, thank them, and show how much you truly appreciate them. Don't wait until it's too late!

Till next time... ta-tah! ^_^
