A Day Without Electricity
Wednesday, 14 July 2010. Bastille Day. Typhoon Basyang rewrites “Storm the Bastille.”
Text from The Fabulous Mamu: “Asked when the electricity would return, Meralco spokesman said, ‘Rest assured we will return to the current situation.’ Ha? Di ba the current situation is blackout? Oh, he means current as in kuryente, as in ‘Kuryente, babalik na’. Aray.”
On the resemblance between directors and actors
– In Inception Leo parts his hair in the middle so he looks like Christopher Nolan.
– Nolan probably said, “Dahling, part your hair in the middle so we can both look like penises.”
On the question pondered in this old Kickette post
Dolce & Gabbana ad from 2006 featuring the victorious Italian football players Andrea Pirlo, Fabio Cannavaro, Gennaro Gattuso, Manuele Blasi, Gianluca Zambrotta
– Obviously it is Fabio Cannavaro because he is holding on to its objective correlative.
On getting carded
– Ha! We still get carded abroad because white people can’t tell how old we are.
– Every time I get carded I protest, but without conviction. “But I’m. . .pregnant pause. . .21.”
On seeing Celia Rodriguez, Gloria Romero, and Barbara Perez together at the Pancake House in CCP during Cinemalaya
Lilet’s Little Secret, or How Celia Rodriguez made my life worth living by Guillermo Ramos.
– I thought, ‘What plot is being hatched by Darna’s arch-enemies?’
– Barbara Perez wasn’t a villain in Darna.
– Yes, but she was the fairy in Supergirl starring Pinky Montilla.
Segue to: Tongue-twisters!
– See sells seasells by the seesor.
– Lash year see died in a sipwreck. Deesh year see died in a car crass.
– Da seek seek seek’s seek sip’s sick.
– The nominees for Best Song are: Da Soop Soop Song by Whitney Hooston.
– Seebop by Cyndi Lauper.
– Soobeedoo by Madonna.
Back to Supergirl:
– I don’t get it. How could she not know she was Supergirl?
– That’s the beauty of the performance. You could believe she was stupid.

would someone care explain the relevance of the tongue-twisters portion? and who is pinky montilla?

re who is pinky montilla? either you’re too young to know or you were not left alone to tend for yourself back during your elementary school days. Before the advent of cable, the Tagalog movies (in black and white) were our constant companions while the yaya is busy socializing with her phone pal (usually ka-partyline pa iyon). Pinky was our Angelina Jolie back then.

OMG. Sana yan ang next life ko, ang maging D&G undie na mino-model ng football players (specifically, ni Manuele Blasi). Pasan ko ang daigdig.
