Repo! The Genetic Opera

Magandang Araw!

Repo! The Genetic Opera take place in the middle of the 21st century. An epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Panic erupts and scientists feverishly make plans for a massive organ harvest. Out of the tragedy, GeneCo, a multi-billion dollar biotech company, emerges. GeneCo provides organ transplantation for a profit. In addition to financing options, GeneCo reserves the right to implement default remedies, including repossession. For those who can't keep up with their organ payments, collection is the responsibility of "organ repo men", skilled assassins contracted by GeneCo, ordered to recover GeneCo's property by any means necessary.

At the heart of the story is Shilo Wallace (Alexa Vega), a 17 year-old girl with a rare blood disease. She has been kept locked up and protected in her house, where she is guarded from the outside world by her father, Nathan Wallace (Anthony Head). While Shilo struggles with her wish to leave the house and experience the outside world, Nathan struggles with his secret job as the Repo Man, and more specifically, his next target, a woman named Blind Mag (Sarah Brightman). Blind Mag, an opera singer, was a friend of Nathan's now-deceased wife, and is Shilo's godmother.

The Largo family, consisting of GeneCo president Rotti (Paul Sorvino), his daughter Amber (Paris Hilton), and his two sons Luigi and Pavi (Bill Moseley and Nivek Ogre, respectively), have their own plans. Rotti is dying, and the three siblings bicker and fight about who is to take the role as head of GeneCo. But, disappointed with his own children, Rotti takes an interest in Shilo.

Feels like Saw and Sweeney Todd. I'm so excited about this one. Ang tagal nga eh. Ged!
Guess what, Paris Hilton is acting!

Ako'y natisod... natapilok....

Hey ya'll... watchap!

It's the end of the world as we know it, my friends. Dumhit!, what's with all these English - Filipino translation? Riri released Umbrella a year ago. It was sang in different versions by Vanilla Sky, Mandy Moore, Mcfly etc and sure, it was a big hit. But it's still ella-ella-ella-ing in the pelepens. A Tagalized translation is hitting the airwaves lika a viral infection that can only be found in Africa. "Di na, di na, hinde, hinde, hinde mababasa nang ulan". Yehp!, that one.

Because of the much success(?) our country is now experiencing a terrible, terrible translation plague. Youtube is now being use by the evil ones to exploit the fad to its full potential. Have you heard "Sana'y Maisip Mo" ?, that's "Realize" by Colbie Caillat in tagalog.

"... ako'y na tisod na tapilok,na tisod natapilok di ma ingat sa...pag mamahal...ako'y nadulas umikot nadulas umikot...di ma ingat sa pag mamahal ..."

Hindi pa sila na kontento ah, recently they released an album, a compilation of local versions of Clumsy (Lampa), Bleeding Love (Sugat sa Puso), Low, With You(Sa'yo) and a LOT more! GED!
Alam niyo kung anong favourite ko *sarcasm* ? Lampa which is the tagalized version of Clumsy "... ako'y na tisod na tapilok,na tisod natapilok di ma ingat sa...pag mamahal...ako'y nadulas umikot nadulas umikot...di ma ingat sa pag mamahal ...".

We are definitely great at this. Nandyan ang I Love Betty La Fea, PBB, Survivor Philippines uhm...Lifglows.

Translation of novels to other languages is another thing. You see, translation of novels to other languages is a way to increase sales and interest. Having your book published in other languages is a form of flattery to the author. But the translation of songs is different. Siguro talagang wrong choice of lyrics. Atsaka anu beh, tama bang i-massacre ang mga ito? I admit that i'm not a big fan of these songs even the English versions of it. I mean I hear it everywhere, malls, jeepneys and even in the church. This are danceable songs ang baduy kayang marinig yung "nakalaw-law-law-law"! Isa pa, baka maging dahilan pa 'to ng mabagal na usad ng ating industry. Ang gaganda na nga ng mga bands natin ngayon eh. Itigil na yang kalokohan! Tisod, tisod. Che!

Para sa inyo to prepare you for what's coming. Paki pindot lang yung button.



bye bye!

Mommy may BAKLA sa closet...

Mabuhay!

It's 5:21 am, I woke up at 4:45. I just need to blog about this one. Para matahimik na ako. *tawa*

Before I would usually hear mothers telling their children "Ala, andyan na yung PULIS!" to scare them and to stop them from misbehaving.

Recently I heard a mother telling her child "Ala, kukunin ka ng BAKLA!". And obvoiusly she was pertaining to a gay man because in the Philippines people are called bakla or bading if they're male homosexuals while lesbians are called tibo. Gays are scary? Why gays?, bakit hindi Clowns, Sadako, Aswang okaya si Madame Auring? ! Bakit bakla?

Well I admit that when I was younger I was a bit afraid of gays. I was scared of the parlorista type. There was this one incident that happened before, I went to the market with my mom, we passed through this part of the market where a lot of parlors are built, while passing by, a hairdresser grabbed my peepee. Although I was very young at that time, 5 y/o I guess. Maybe because he thought I was cute. But that incident did'nt become a big impact to my emotional being (anu beh?). It was no big deal. Ewan ko ba noong bata talaga ako I was afraid of the parlorista gays maybe because of the way they act, the loud ones. Ngayon wala na.

Sabi nga sa first single ni Chris Crocker "Chris Crockers on the loose- Are you scared yet?". For those who don't know who Chris Crocker is, he is the guy from the very infamous "Leave Britney Alone" video.

The question is, are gays somebody we need to be afraid of? (grabe namang tanong yan, anu sila?, Abu Sayaff?)

Probably a lot would say that gays are scary. Homophobes specifically. Some guys have this stereotypical thought of gays. That gay guys would probably hit on them because they're straight.

Maybe because some had bad experiences from them.
I know this person when he was still in college one time he woke up and saw his gay classmate kissing him. There was this news where in an old gay guy raped a teenage boy. Lastly, there's this quite popular salon where in the owner offers "libre gupit, libre salat". Natawa ako jan. Kasi yung nagsabi sa akin babae. And ofcourse si Micheal J.

Because of this incidents some people are afraid of them.

Pero ilang kuwento na ba ang narinig niyo tungkol sa mga baklang minurder? Yong classic na kuwento tungkol sa baklang anak na nilulublob sa drum ng tubig at binugbugbog para daw maging straight? Oh yung effeminate na bading sa highschool na thinethreaten ng classmate niya na bubugbugin siya pag hindi niya... alam niyo na yun! Meron 'din naman kasing mga ibang lalake who feels superior to them. They think that they're all that because they're tough. Akala mo kung sinong alpha male. Mas malaki naman ang bayag kesa sa utak.

Probably yeah, some gays are scary, with their outrageous sense of style, voice and their personality. Some people limit their selves.
You see, gays now a days come in variety:
Transgendered and cross-dressers -is the state of one's gender identity not matching one's assigned sex.
Straight acting gays - members of guys4men.com, (pare, dude, 'tol!).
Gays with wife and kids - those who are gays but have chosen to marry and have kids.
Markova-ish gays - manay ricky! *tawa*
Bi-sexual - they prefer both sexes. Emo boys. *tawa ulit*
Closeted gays - 'yung mga takot pang magladlad.

Oh 'di ba?

Ganito lang 'yun, hindi basehan ang straightness or gayness sa fear. May mga taong nakakatakot sa mga gays at meron din sa straight. The important thing is we remain respectful to others.

Para sa atin lahat ito!



bye bye!
