Raul Gonzalez

noreply@blogger.com (angelo.tonichi@gmail.com) — Sat, 21 Apr 2007 01:26:42 PDT

Don't you just hate Department of Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez? Known for his knack for making careless statements, Gonzalez made a press announcement last Thursday that slain US Peace Corps volunteer Julia Campbell is partly to blame for her own tragedy. Heartless. Shameless. Stupid.

Good News, Bad News

noreply@blogger.com (angelo.tonichi@gmail.com) — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 23:16:13 PDT

Okay, bad news first. The Virginia Tech Univ killings. The Filipino people prays for those who were slain. Shit you, Cho Seung Hui. And the good news. Sanjaya is OUT! Woohoo! I have to admit, though, him being voted out will make this American Idol season the most boring of all.

IMDb Trivia

noreply@blogger.com (angelo.tonichi@gmail.com) — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 03:04:38 PDT

Here's a good one for my favorite movie of all-time, Sin City: Although the movie is presented primarily in black and white, particular items are in color and, as such, had to be colored blue or green on set. According to Robert Rodriguez, Nick Stahl (who plays Yellow Bastard) was known on set as...

V. Santos-Recto is Hilarious

noreply@blogger.com (angelo.tonichi@gmail.com) — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 19:01:18 PDT

Don't you just hate Vilma Santos? Yesterday on the national primetime news, Mayor Vilma Santos-Recto of Lipa, an actress and candidate for governorship in Batangas, tried to justify EVAT (Extended Value Added Tax – a consumption tax imposed on the sale or importation of goods and services), of...

The More Bites the Better

Now I know. The saliva of those insects that persistently bite you may actually boost your immunity to the diseases that their relatives carry later. This has been documented in a disease afflicting soldiers coming back from Iraq, leishmaniasis. Now a study in mice has shown mosquito saliva can...

A Movie Called "Zoo"

noreply@blogger.com (angelo.tonichi@gmail.com) — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 17:46:24 PDT

This new Sundance Film Festival qualifier strangely calls itself "Zoo". Far from strange though, I find the subject repulsive. Bestiality it is, and this film recreates the sensational true-to-life event wherein Kenneth Pinyan - referred to in the film only as Mr. Hands - dies of internal injuries...

Gelo and Ton converse about the media – television/screen, print, etc. – and its power on three of the society’s chief problems: Rape, incest and pedophilia. Ton: What do you suppose? Gelo: I think we should eat. There’s this great new recipe at the KIPLog Food Blog that makes me (SLURP)...

The dancing queen is now exploring the august halls of the theater arts. A few days ago, Oreta's new campaign ad was aired on TV, and it raised a few boos and eyebrows. The dancing queen was crying on that ad, apologizing profusely for "dancing". I suggest they submit that ad to the film...
