blog: interviewing stars
There’s a lot of hoohah going around in Philippine blogosphere about an entertainment journalist’s cringe-worthy interview with Anne Hathaway during her promo tour of LES MISERABLES. I did not have the heart to watch the video of the interview but I read the transcript, which already made me cringe. Below is the video of that […]
the mask of a celebrity
I never really understood the penchant of celebrities to wear face masks when they go out thinking they’re going to blend with the crowd and not be recognized. Okay, I get it. In countries like Taiwan, even the slightest cold would prompt the wearing of a face mask. I was there once suffering from sniffles […]
wanna train/play ball with Wu Chun?
I’m doing this for a friend: The Brunei Times is auctioning off a chance to either play one-on-one basketball or get a 30- minute personal gym training with WU CHUN. Bidding is ongoing until 2pm (Brunei time) on Sunday, April 8. Of course, the winner will play/train with Chun at one of his Fitness Zone […]
drama: what if Roy Qiu didn’t play Qin Zi Qi?
(Roy Qiu…why you so hot part 23) Gong xi fa cai! Since there is no Office Girls tonight due to the airing of TTV’s version of Kouhaku, I’m reduced to watching previous episodes. And the more I watch, the more I wonder what if Qiu Ze did not accept the role of Qin Zi Qi […]
my 2011 in interviews
(This has got to be the fussiest blog post I had to do. Editing audio is really mafan!) To paraphrase Forrest Gump, journalism is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get. Sometimes you get an assignment to interview someone and it happens to be a celebrity. Sometimes also the interview […]
my 2011 in travels
I’m looking at my passport to remember the travels I have done this year. Not many compared to previous years it seems. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (March) My first trip in 2011 happened to be for the Jay Chou concert in Kuala Lumpur. To be honest, KL is not really one of my fave cities in […]
100 reasons why I ♥ Taiwan
Taiwan marked its 100 years last October 10 and to mark it, I have decided to list the 100 reasons why I love the country. I haven’t really been all over the tiny island that is shaped like a leaf so the list could be limited. But that is my dream, to take one month […]
drama: most trashy characters in a drama… EVER.
I just need to vent. I lack sleep so maybe that’s why I’m easily irritable. But please tell me: aren’t they the most annoying characters in a Taiwanese drama ever? These two actors play the parents of Yang Guang, played by Rainie Yang in Sunshine Angel (with Wu Chun). They are scammers and freeloaders. There […]
behind the story: Wu Chun
(This is part of the series on behind-the-scenes while covering celebrities.) I nearly lost three precious photos today. Precious because they were personalized autographed photos for my friends from Wu Chun. I left or dropped them by accident at Krispy Kreme in Siam Paragon and almost didn’t get them back. I couldn’t blame the staff […]
drama: home is like a baseball game (Sunshine Girl)
That is according to Ya Shin xiansheng in Sunshine Angel. What is home to me? Or where is home? I have lived in many places but Bangkok has been my home for seven years now. I like it here. Less hassle and stress. But home is really where the important people in your life are. […]
movie: Saving General Yang… cast
The first time I heard about the story of the Yang clan was when I flew all the way to Bandar Seri Begawan to interview Wu Chun in May. He has just been cast in the movie and he was very excited about it so when I returned and started writing the story, I had […]
Wu Chun’s ‘confession’
GKC is one naughty boy. Perhaps tired of the incessant questions on his marital status, he made a confession that perhaps not even the media–much more his fans–were expecting. “Yes, it’s true. I already have two children,” he said during an interview in Taipei last week. After a beat or two (and a heart-stopping moment […]
they could be brothers
Let’s do a separated-at-birth post. I’ve always been fascinated with how these three actors look very similar they could be brothers. Or, the next best thing is, they could play brothers in a pan-Asian production. Wu Chun: former model, singer, actor, born in Brunei on Oct 10, 1979 Ryu Soo-young: model, actor, born in South […]
