A very happy birthday to my favorite KC Concepcion (@kc_concepcion)! May you have more blessings, happiness, love, more projects -- TV shows, movies, etc. Keep on inspiring people and continue being the princess that you are. 

I do miss seeing KC on TV, aside from ASAP 18, that is. I hope her teleserye with Judy Ann Santos and Sam Milby comes out soon too! I heard it has changed the title from "Against All Odds" to "Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala." That's something to look forward to. Plus, I wish her more projects to come. I hope to meet her one day too so she can sign the KC scrapbook that I made. ^_^

Sarah Geronimo is one of the 48 recipients of the "Ani ng Dangal" ("Harvest of Honors") award given by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) at the end of the Philippine Arts Festival. Every February is National Arts Month in the Philippines. Sarah is also named as the NCCA Goodwill Ambassadress for Music. Below are some screen caps from Bandila news.......

Watch out for Sarah Geronimo's upcoming movie with John Lloyd Cruz... "It Takes A Man and A Woman"... 

Marion Aunor : 2nd Runner Up Himig Handog P-Pop Love Songs

The Grand Finals Night was held last February 24th. Personally, I think all the 12 finalists are awesome. It's actually great to be hearing new OPM (Original Pilipino Music) songs once again. Remakes aren't all that cool after all. 

So happy that Marion Aunor won 2nd Runner-Up. She's really my bet as she not only composed her own song, she also sang it during the competition. I was actually a bit worried when the sound system was lousy when she was performing her number. I was all prepared to scream "Sabotage!" LOL! So happy that she managed to be top 3!

I've also read recently that she signed up with Star Records and will have her own album by end of April this year. Wow! I think she's really talented and I look forward to hearing and seeing more of her on TV. I hope she gets to be a regular on ASAP. (Photo credit: Pep.ph)

Here's Marion's performance of her original composition, "If You Ever Change Your Mind".......

Anne Curtis -- Controversial Birthday Number

I don't always get to watch ASAP in its entirety every Sunday, so it's no surprise that I missed out on Anne Curtis's controversial birthday production number. I also wouldn't have gotten curious if it didn't hound the local news about her controversial super revealing gown. (Disclaimer: Photos are from screen caps of said production number. I searched for it on YouTube 'coz I wanted to know what the hype was all about.) Here are the screenshots:

My initial reaction was "Wow!" Anne Curtis has been known to don really sexy and sultry gowns in the past and she has always managed to pull it off. I think the controversy started 'coz some people speculated that Anne wasn't wearing any undies. Personally, I don't think it was done in bad taste. It was just consistent with the overall sexy production number. Perhaps if it wasn't on a noontime family variety show such as ASAP, people would not rave about it. As it is, they will probably be stricter on sexy numbers next time around. Too bad huh? ^_^

Chinese New Year 2013 & A Moment in Time

Xin Nian Kuai Le! Happy Chinese New Year! I wish you and your family all the best in the Year of the Water Snake. Curious what the year has in store for you? Let me share one article I found... Your Chinese Zodiac Sign’s Luck in the Year of the Water Snake.

Within the week is also the Valentine's Day celebration. One thing for sure, my mom will be looking forward to this upcoming Valentine's date movie... starring none other than the tandem from the phenomenal hit "Walang Hanggan" -- Coco Martin and Julia Montes. (All images courtesy of Pep.ph)

Time was when Julia was a member of "Going Bulilit." Since being cast opposite Coco Martin, she seemed to have totally bloomed as a young lady. For sure a number of fans will be looking forward to "A Moment in Time" -- Valentine movie offering... here's the trailer...

Kris Aquino and Anne Curtis in a New Teleserye

Anne Curtis -- sexy, daring, and the popular "Dyosa" (goddess) of local showbiz stars once again in an upcoming teleserye with Kris Aquino and Robin Padilla. She's truly one of the most visible leading lady these days and has now been dubbed as the Box-Office Queen after the huge success of her movies in the box-office. 

On the other hand, queen of all media Kris Aquino who has not made any teleserye shows in the recent years is now making a major comeback in "Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw." The show has a powerhouse cast that also includes Robin Padilla as the coveted leading man of both Kris and Anne. 

The trailer looks promising. I just hope it's not another hand-to-mouth teleserye, which is a trouble with most shows these days. Kris mentioned in her morning show "Kris TV" that they've been working on this show for the past 7 months. If that's the case then the show is truly something to look forward to. It's not that I regularly watch teleserye shows, but I get irked when most shows get extended and then they lose much of the original plot. I hope "Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw" won't be one of those shows.

The show starts next week on primetime. 

Angeline Quinto Stars in Her Own Teleserye

From being the teleserye theme song queen, Angeline Quinto is for the first time given a chance to star in her own teleserye, "Kahit Konting Pagtingin." Not only does she get to be a lead star, she also gets paired with two of the popular leading men in local showbiz, Paulo Avelino and Sam Milby. The show gets an afternoon time slot. From the trailer, "Kahit Konting Pagtingin" looks promising as I think it's not going to be all drama but will feature the funny side of Angeline too. 

I hope the show takes off. I've been a fan of Angeline since the Star Power Quest. She even replied to one of my tweets when she was just starting out. Good luck, Angeline and the rest of the cast of "Kahit Konting Pagtingin."
