I wanna share a little secret here in this post. There’s only a few close people who know about this so this might be a surprise to most of you here. Back in 1996, my youngest sister, who was 6 yrs. old back then represented Cebu City in Eat Bulaga’s Little Miss Philippines. She didn’t make it to the Finals but it paved the way for a supposedly showbiz opportunity for her, had we been committed to leave Cebu and start from scratch in the busy city of Metro Manila which we didn't do. I hope my sister won’t kill me for divulging this little info about her. Anyway, she joined workshops and auditions, and was included as one of the movie extras in the movie, DO RE MI playing one of the choir kids. There was no dialogue but that scene alone took us one whole day at the location shoot. We've met all the major stars in that movie and we even shared dressing rooms and restrooms with them. The funny part of it was my mom and I were even captured by the camera as it zoomed in Mikee Cojuangco while she was walking down the audience seating area as part of the movie scene. I don’t have dreams to be in the movies or anything like that but I just think it’s cool that I once witnessed a movie shoot and was even remotely involved.

Well, I didn't believe it until I saw her interview with Christy Fermin on The Buzz this afternoon. Celebrities getting pregnant even before they got married is not something new but it still did surprise me now that it happens to Vina Morales. I haven't heard that she ever got married at the age of 32 and she's also not very vocal about her non-showbiz boyfriend, Cedric Lee so it came as a shock when I first learned about it. She confirmed that she's 2 months pregnant and that they consider it a blessing. Goodluck to her and hope she'll have a healthy pregnancy.

Below is the full trailer of the upcoming movie of GMA Films entitled, I.T.A.L.Y (I Trust And Love You) which stars Jolina Magdangal, Rufa Mae Quinto, Eugene Domingo, Dennis Trillo among others. It's a comedy that tackes the lives of Filipinos working onboard cruise ships. This film was filmed in three different continents: Asia, Europe and Africa and was directed by Mark Reyes.

I was surprised to get a package from IZEA last week. It was a free Banzai DVD game by Screenlife Games. We didn’t get to try and play it until last night and we’re glad that we did. It was a fun and crazy game. I’ve never actually played a Japanese game before and I’m surprised that I did enjoy it. We both read and watch the mechanics of the game on dvd but it didn’t make sense at first until we actually played it. One of the things that I enjoyed about it is the use of chopsticks. I’ve never used one in my entire life and Jeff used to brag that he did know how to use chopsticks but I found out last night that I can use chopsticks better than him. Sorry, my love, I have to divulge that info in my post. Hehe. While we were actually betting during the game, it just suddenly dawned on me the technique to hold the chopsticks so I can transfer lots of sushis into my bowl. I am so glad that I now know how to use one.

Now about the game itself, there are funny and crazy dares or events that took place in the game but I guess our most favorite was the Umbrella Roullette. We both got a kick out of watching the guy chose the umbrella that kinda’ punch him on the face. Even the guy himself got totally surprised and laugh at himself. If at this point you grow curious as to what game I am talking about, check Banzai online and visit Tako’s My Space page at myspace.com/takotheocto. I can guarantee that it’s loads of fun.
