Scratch POP: Anne Curtis on ANTM c/o Francis Libiran

Hindi Lahat ng Bawal...

Super Good News...

Pinoy Pride on a rampage...

Just in... Ms. Anne Curtis will be featured on ANTM cycle 18.
I really do not know how she will appear on the show, but just knowing this makes me go nuts.

Thanks to the very talented Francis Libiran whose designs will be spotlighted on the show.
I have seen few works of Francis Libiran through Macherie (a blogger acquaintance)... and I must say, his creations are spectacular, stunning and exquisite...
I may not be fashion-savvy but Francis Libiran's gowns are out-of-this world perfect... he could incorporate structured design-patterns with a mixture of softness and stiffness without being commercially awkward...
(do you get what I mean???... well, me neither...) wahahahhaha

Anyways, here's Ms. Anne on FL's Gowns... (hold your horses)

The first one is my personal fave...

Check out the pseudo-documentary of the photoshoot below...

Ay Masarap...

Scratch POP: Proposal Daisakusen vs. Operation Proposal

Hellujah... Chance!!!

Remember the smash hit J-Durama series Proposal Daisakusen in 2007???
If you don't or if you have not seen it yet, I am telling you... you missing an f***ing half of your life...
I mean, atleast for me, it is maybe one of the most well-made Asian series of all time... even better than Meteor Garden by a clear mile...
With its perfect mix of romance-fantasy-comedy and relate-ability, what's not to like???


Anyways, wonderin' why am I blabbing and promoting this series after almost half a decade???
Hmmmm... I just found out that Korea is having a remake of this uber-fave series...
Well, well, well... skeptically, I was not so sure if the the Korean remake will stand up to my expectations. I mean... it was sky high, so a tough call. But.. nevertheless, curious enough, I search the K-series online and found this credible YouTube channel (itzmethatzkie) that uploads this series with very readable and lexical english sub... good for me...
And, to my surprise, I actually liked it (a lot)... maybe because they have the same plot or what... I dunno? but I definitely liked it...

Then, I asked myself... which of the two I liked better??? Well, because I am a detail maniac, I have to weigh things through different lights and angles...
Disclaimer: The following thoughts are exclusively mine and mine alone. Whateva similarities represented from others maybe purely coincidental or just a result om wide depicted imagination. wooohoooo 

Story: Proposal Daisakusen has a more fast-paced story... more of like direct to the point. Most of the episode focuses only to Ken and Rei (the main protagonist and antagonist). On the other hand, operation Proposal's pacing is slower, more of like taking their time. Although its main gist is still the second-chance love story of Kang Bae Ho and Ham Yi Seul (Ken and Rei's Korean counterpart, respectively), it is more like a baseball-ish story... the sports which most of the characters are connected to.

Casts: This would be quick... Kang Bae Ho is so much cuter than Ken. Rei is way prettier than Ham Yi Seul... I liked Tsuru and Erin in the Japanese version in more ways than one compared to their Korean versions... and... I liked the Korean's version of other male friend... <period>

Chant: I like saying " Hallelujah Chance (with the hand movement)... Wahhhhhh!!!" so much more more more... than "Renovatio, renovatio, renovatio!" Whatyathink???

Well... that's all I think of....for now... atleast....

The Operation Proposal is not finished yet... but I'm closely monitoring it... If you want to experience it too, watch the first episode below... and you'll surely get hooked... no doubt...

And... and... and...if you happen to be a close friend of mine and if you want to see the Japanese series-Proposal Daisakusen (very soon: as recommended) kindly approach me and I would gladly give you a copy...

Renovatio... Renovatio... Renovatio...

Scratch POP: "Welcoming Mario Maurer"

Boy: Kape ka ba?

Girl: Hindi naman, bakit?

Thai heart-throb Mario Maurer finally graces the Philippine Island of responsibility this week.

He is here to endorse a local clothing brand-Penshoppe and ink a one-movie contract with Star Cinema.
His lucky leading lady will be no less than Erich Gonzales (thanks to her timely  GGV guesting which made her a trending in Twitter-slash-winner...).
The working title of the movie is "Suddenly It's Magic" which will be shot on Thailand and in the Philippines.

You can catch and latch (maybe...) Mario tomorrow (October 28, 2011) at PICC for his Fan Conference and on October 29, 2011 at SMX Convention Center as he top-billed the Philippine Fashion Week.

Scratch POP: "Limelighting Amanda Bynes"

Hello sunshine... shoe shine!

For me, Amanda Bynes is the Ultimate-Mega-Ultra-Super-for All Seasons Rom-Com and Chick Flick Princess. So, back-off Lindsay Lohan and Hillary Duff.

I love the way she mixes comedy, romance and swagger in her movies. The way she delivers her lines is so spot-on and she always do that weird thing with her eyes that I find very adorable.

Well, here is my list of her movies that I love the most... (movie poster plus trailer)

1. What a Girl Wants...

2. Lovewrecked...

3. She's the man.. (maybe my most favorite by far...)

4. Sydney White...

Rumors spread that after she did Hair Spray in a supporting role in 2007, she will quit show business... But she did appear as an over-the-top antagonist in Easy A just last year...

I wonder what happened to her?

I miss her so much... hope she will do another movie soon...

Let's go... couch potato!
