Ha? Patay na Si Shaider???

Yan kaya ang reaction ko nung may nagsabi sa akin na patay na si Shaider a few years ago. O di ba, paang close talaga kami ni Shaider. Nung 2001 pa pala sya namatay. Sakit sa bato ang kinamatay ni Lolo Alexis, masyadong napagod sa kakabalik sa Time Space Warp. :(

Pero parang hanggang ngayon di pa rin ako makapaniwala na patay sya.

Pulis Pangkalawakan! Shaider!!!

Naghahanap ako nung mga batang nag-shi-Shigi-Shigi at kumakain ng repolyo pero wala ako mahanap eh...

Parang hindi ako maka-move-on kay Shaider. Parang andami pang questions sa isip ko na hindi pa nabibigyang liwanag? Here are some of those thought-provoking questions...

Paano na si Annie? Nagmahal kaya sya ulit ng iba? Ano kaya ang theme song nya para kay Shaider?

Sino na ang magliligtas sa kanya pag pinagkakaisahan na sya ng mga Amazona?

Kahit minsan kaya ay nagkaroon ng awkward moments between Alexis and Annie? Lalo na pag tuma-tumbling si Annie suot ang kanyang super-skimpy na iskert?

Si Fuuma Ley-ar? Nasuklian ba nya ang unrequited love ni Ida sa kanya? Alam nyo bang kinain ni Fuuma yung Red, Green and Pink Amazonas para mas lumakas sya sa kanyang battle with Papa Shaider??? Alam nyo bang ganito ang totoong muka ni Ida?

Eh yung mga batang iniligtas ni Shaider mula sa pagsayaw buong maghapon ng Shigi-Shigi at pagkain ng hilaw na repolyo, sila ba ang naging inspirasyon sa mga manika na Cabbage Patch Kids? Or was it the other way around?

Bakit kaya hindi pinalabas ang Shaider sa probinsya? Masyado ba syang violent? Or mahina lang talaga ang signal ng Channel 13 sa mga areas na iyon?

Si Doktor Ang? Ano na nga ba ulit ang pangalan nung biik nya dun? Pinky ba? Hindi ba naiinis sa kanya yung alalay nya na mas pinagtutuunan ng pansin ni Doktor Ang yung biik kesa sa kanya?

May signal kaya ng Globe sa Time Space Warp? Eh Sun kaya? I bet wala dahil madilim dun!
Di man lang ba nawiwindang si Shaider at Annie pag hinahanap na nila ang kanilang mga sasakyan after the fights? Para kasing kung saan-saan na lang nila iniiwan yugn mga sasakyan nila eh. Or ma Wag mong sabihin na pagkatapos ng laban ni Shaider sa Time Space Warp ay kailangan pa nyang balikan yung Suzuki Jimny nya dahil papagalitan sya ni Kumander Kom. Sabagay nakakapunta nga sila sa Time Space Warp eh siguro naman di sila na-lo-lost. And does Annie let Shaider drive kaya her mazda RX-7 pag nagdedate sila? hehe :)

Haaay, Shaider... kayo what are your favorite Shaider memories? :)

Diego go go.. sumuko ka nah nah nah...

Q:Sino ang gumanap na barangap captain sa pelikulang ito ni Tito,Vic and Joey na Working Boys?
A: Chichay

Caloy para sa yo to!



It's surprising a few of my jologs friends know this one. Caloy, who is know very happy with his job in California who also introduced me to nostalgiamanila.com, sent me an mp3 of the hilarious Diego-go-go line three years ago. Hanggang ngayon tawa pa rin ako nang tawa pag pinapakinggan ko yun. And thanks to youtube, eto andito na yung full scene!

Nakakatawa pa dito eh si Rio Locsin eh in-love na in-love kay Buwaya, at si Buwaya pa ang imbyernang-imbyerna sa kanya! Sa bandang huli nga ng movie eh kinakausap pa ni Rio si Carmi Martin na hindi daw nya kayang hiwalayan ang asawa nyang mahal na mahal. Hahahaha. Love is blind,indeed!!! Pero come to think of it, sa pelikula lang yun nangyayari!!!

Vic: Dieo-go-go-go... Sumuko ka nah-nah-nah-... Napapaligiran ka na namin-min-min..
Tito: Hindi ako susuko!.. Sapagkat hindi ako si Diego!
Vic: Nyahah!

Nakakainis lang bakit wala nang ganitong mga movies ngayon? Pati yung mga movies na tipong mananaginip yung bida na tapos biglang magche-change yung scene na lahat sila eh nagsasayaw na sa Matabungkay Beach - na nakakatuwa naman dahil alhat sila sa beach mga seksi at magaling sumayaw, may hahabulin na magandang babae at yung pinakapanget mahuhulog sa butas sa buhangin or mababagsakan ng buko, or kung low budget ang film eh sa Wild Life lang sila magsasayawan. Those were the days!

Teka,teka, hintayin nyo pa yung hinanda kong She-Man, Mistress of the Universe..dyos ko day!!!

Who in the world is Christopher Borja?

A: Inday Garutay

So I was torn between Lea Salonga and Inday Garutay. Who won? Ate Inday. Well, you can't blame me, when I tried to search for Inday Garutay on Google Images I only got 4 returns, si Lea Salonga, daming pages! So I oughta give this one to Ate Inday! Blame Google! :p

(I had to edit this part, nag-au-autostart yung video kahit ilang tumblling na ang ginawa ko to fix the script. Feel free to click na lang the link for the viedo)

Mega tawa naman si Kuya sa background. Haha. Talagang poker-faced ang Lola noh walang ka-rea-reaction! Parang as-a-fatter-of-mact lang parang ganun lang.

Hehe, may bigla lang akong naisip. I don't want to be mean, pero Ate Inday G. reminds me of my Computer class teacher back in High School. No she is not gay, she just looks like Ate Inday. Di ba, that's pagiging meany di ba? Pero I'm washing my hands on this. Hindi lang ako nagsabi nyan - may mas mean pa nga sa akin, they call her "Garutay". Now that's mean!

Back to Ate Inday, to be fair ha, hindi funny yung nangyari sa kanya sa Aruba, harsh nga yung discrimination that he experienced. Pero naisip ko rin at least she didn't turn out to be one of those showbiz people not in the circulation anymore who gets featured in "Wish Ko Lang" just because they made lustay their money and all that so that Vicki Morales can give them a pangkabuhayan showcase with squid,chicken,crab balls or a tricycle courtesy of Sinzki (or however that's spelled hehe). Like Ruffa Gutierrez in some sorta way, glamorosa pa rin ang lola!

In my last ditch effort to search for more images of Lola Inday, I tried Yahoo naman. Ouch, Nowhere to be found na naman ang beauty ni Lola :(



Sabagay, when I searched nga for Ate Luds (close kami noh!) yung bahay lang nya yung lumabas sa search results. 75 by 75 pixels pa! Hmmm... Punta kaya ako sa friendster? Hehe :p Sasabihin na naman ni Rhoda my superfren na "MAY GAS REGINA!!!" pag ginawa ko yun!!! :p

Idol, idol, idol ko si Mayor!

Q: Who is the actress who portrayed the role of Hagedorn's wife in the movie Hagedorn (which was played by FPJ)?
A: Sharmaine Arnaiz
***

Mayor Hagedorn is now my Flickr Friend!!! I am actually his FIRST flickr friend! :p Don't want to believe me?



My extreme na pagka-starstruck with Mayor started since Day 1 planning of our Palawan trip late last month. "Yay! Makikita na natin si Hagedorn"! Nagbibiruan pa nga kami pagdating namin sa Puerto Princesa airport: "Oh, kala ko ba susunduin tayo ni Mayor?". Jake, Erlyn, Judith, Jackie and I sounded like broken records during our trip dahil everytime na nakakakita kami ng picture or billboard nya, napapadaan kami sa townhall or nakakakita kami ng magandang bahay, wala kaming bukambibig kundi HAGEDORN!!!

Pero walang Mayor kaming nasilayan. Nag-enjoy na kami't lahat wala pa rin ni anino nya. I was actually very curious sa kanya. In the tradition of my pagiging jologs, super walang kwenta ang alam ko sa kanya.


*image courtesy of yatego.com

I know he is an Erap-look alike kahit na ba si FPJ ang gumanap sa kanya sa pelikula. Alam ko rin reelectionist sya, and he has the reputation like that of Mayor Duterte (Davao). My friend told me (after our trip) na he was actually the last official who stepped out of Malacanang with Erap, which made him the first one to greet Gloria. Sayang nga at talagang hindi namin kinarir ang paghunting namin sa kanya sa Puerto Princesa.

But wait there's more!!! Meant talagang makadaupang palad namin sya - we checked in 5 mins before boarding time on our way back to Manila. Blessing in the sky, I mean blessing in disguise pala iyon dahil being a VIP eh huling nagboard ng plane si Mayor. Basta habang nagmamadlai kaming naglalakd sa kalagitnaan ng tarmac ay may nakita kaming mga pulis, at may nakabarong... SI MAYOR HAGEDORN!!!

Showbiz talaga ang Lolo! Nag-pose para kay Erlyn bago sumakay ng plane. At in fairness din sa kanya, naka-Cebu Pacific sya! I bet, nag-book sya online nung November para sa 99+ promo nila just like us! Joke lang Mayor ha, we wab you! :) So my beautiness naman eh nahiya na naman, kaming dalawa kasi ng utol ko, kunwari walang paki na nakakita ng artista, pero pag nakadaan na, mag-gu-gush na na may na-spottan kami!!! Parang nung si Kier Legaspi nakasalubong namin sa rotating door sa Shangri-La or si Angelica Panganiban nung nakasabay namin sa elevator sa condo, dedma sa una pero after that di na makahinga sa excitement! So back to Mayor, sobrang thankful ako kay Erlyn na talagan inapproach nya si Mayor pagdating sa Manila, nahuli kami ng pagbaba sa plane ni Jackie at talagang tumakbo kami para di namin mamiss ang opportunity to talk with Mayor Hagedorn. Lolo Hagedorn was not escorted, buti na lang di kami napagkamalang mga terrorists disguising as beautiful and konyotik na mga tourists you know. Haha :)


Sabi ko na sa inyo close kami ni Hagedorn! Sabi nga ng utol ko, sparks are flying!!! :) So syempre humahagod pa ako dahil sa pagtakbo sa Domestic airport tarmac, pero mega-kausap ako sa kanya! Ang my friends have heard this anecdote a thousand times na pero I will never get tired of telling the story over and over again>:p

Ako: Mayor, alam nyo ba pagtuntong pa lang namin sa Puerto Princesa kayo na agad ang hinanap namin!!!

Mayor: Ah ganun ba, nakakahiya naman sa inyo at hindi man lang tayo nakapag-dinner sa bahay!

POWERFUL with a capital P and OWERFUL! Walang ka-ere-ere nung sinabi nya yun! Kahit na ba labas sa ilong yun nung sinabi nya or kung talagang sincere man lang, at least proud ako na nahiya sa akin si Mayor Hagedorn dahil hindi man lang kami nakapag-gala dinner sa bahay nya. Charuz! Haha :) So bago pumasok sa arrival area eh mega-pose na naman kami with him sya pa nga ang nagsabi, "O dito na ba tayo magpipicturan!" Showbiz!!! And of course hari ng sablay na naman ako sa photo-op na ito!



Dahil dyan Mayor, kahit di ko napanood ang pelikula mo, forever kitang magiging idol!

Live from Broadcast City: Uniwide Sales' Battle of the Brains!

***
Q: Where is the Broadcast City located?
A: Capitol Hills, Diliman, Quezon City
***



I know you know that background music and that familiar voice-over... It's Uniwide Sales' Battle of the Brains.. and now your host, Mr. David Celdran! Too bad the show went off air due to sponsorship issues. Excluding the quiz show on Student Canteen, Battle of the Brains is the only quiz show of its kind. No fuss, like Jeopardy. The LG Quiz show was a far outcry - just fancy, not enough substance.



Yeah, that's me alright with my schoolmates,sisters and David Celdran,the host of the defunt Battle of the Brains, after winning the 2nd weekly eliminations for April 1994 . How come the big networks don't wanna produce game shows like this anymore? For those of you who watched that game show, do you ever recall that huge timer during the bonus round? Hehe. Winning the gameshow was my first paycheck , 1,030 pesos (we got around 4k). I remember buying Sterling Snoopy notebooks (or was it Catleya?), Pilot pens (was never a fan of Tombow,such a cheap imitation) and a fancy pop-up pencil case.

We lost to Bennedictine Abbey in the monthlies, but they totally deserved that since they ended up competing in the Grands. And you thought I was just good with jologs movies and songs!!! :p

1993 Miss World Second Princess

Q: Ruffa has starred in her own massacre movie, which one was it?
A: Maricris Sioson, Japayuki
***


Tita Ruffa! Look at us we got the same taste! Pareho kaming sosyal!



Okay, okay, don't think naman na I am feeling ha. I was amused lang when I saw this month's Good Housekeeping cover. Eh I di ba I just got back from Palawan lang, so this picture was like so recent lang you know and GOd knows how much ang fabulous blouse ni Tita Ruffa compared to my SM-cheap swimsuit! :) And of course, without all the love handles and bulges in the wrong place and everything eh magkamukhang-magkamuha talaga kami! NOT! :p

Seriously, I adore her, with her konyo ways (and everythang!). Buti na lang she was able to redeem herself from that MMFF brouhaha - though come to think of it, we Filipinos are so forgiving that we'll still forgive her regardless of what she does. I enjoy watching her interviews because of her sing-song konyo accent that's not annoying naman (for me ha!), that black glamorosa hair and her witty answers and side comments. Like, this one time, (no, not in band camp you know) when interviewed about their chikitings' Turkish yayas visiting Pinas:

Ruffa to a TV Patrol reporter: "Oh my God I didn't know that you needed a visa to go to the Philippines!

Nakakaloka si Lola Ruffa! Walang ka-effort-effort!!! :)

For now, that's all I can say about Lola Ruffa. Enjoy some of her old-skool pictures!

Aura Powerful: Masku Man and (You)Tube* Happy Together!

***
Q: What did Igaru (Prince Igam) turn into after she realized her wrongdoings?
A: A nun.

*source: www.wikimedia.org

You have to give credit to these YouTube guys. Man, how and where in the world did they acquire these maskman, shaider, bioman opening and ending clips! Sure the Japanese versions they can easily download but the Tagalog versions??? I'm very sure Orkid and everybody who grew up with these Tagalized Japanese superheroes will enjoy this clip I found in the YouTube baul:

*courtesy of mikomi2001

Di ba??? Mayabang na ako na may mp3 files ako ng mga opening and ending credits! Eh look at this! Next level na sya!!!! This is the reason that I am beginning to fall iin love again with youtube. Your childhood questions now have answers courtesy of the site.

1.Ano ang nangyari kay Rio (Mio)? Habang buhay ba syang nakulong sa loob ng bloke ng yelo?

2.Nagkaroon ba ng ibang girlfriend si Michael Joe (Takeru)? Si Pink Maskman ba yugn fallback girl nya?


3. Bakit mukhang tomboy si Yellow 4? Bakit yellow si Yellow Maskman at Pink si Pink Maskman? Bakit Black si Black Maskman? Eh bakit sa Bioman, green hindi black?

4. Ang day job ba ni Commander Sugata ay ang pagiging coach nya sa Takeshi's Castle? Or is it the other way around! Sorry for Michael Joe fans I have to exclusively post Commander's picture here, crush ko sya, somehow bata pa lang ako I have an eye na for older men. Hahaha.

5. Bakit sa probinsya walang Shaider, Maskman at Bioman? As in Baguio, Masbate and the likes ha. Because I am from Bulacan at meron dun, but when I talk about these shows with my fellow jologs friend Juggie, hindi sya makarelate!

Oh well, I have a lifetime to answer these questions. For the meantime, I need to be back my aura power meditation pose!


*"Tube" is incidentally the name of the Empire corrupted by Zehba. Prince Igam, Rio's twin was supposedly playing a character of a woman disgusing as a man, akalain mo yun???

Jolina Magdangal: Jologs!

***
Q: What's the name of the retail store Jolina opened in the 90's?
A: Jolina's Fashion Gallery
***

Parang gusto ko yatang bawiin yung previous statement ko na Kuya Germs is the epitome of Pinoy jologs, because if there's an epitome, it would have to be Jolina. Heck, te word "jologs" was born because of her! No, I'm not talking about the Jolina the Kapuso that we see today (yes, I am not a Kapuso though my first two entries in this blog are both Kapuso). I am talking about this Jolina:



Woohoot! That's the Jolina I'm talking about! Talagang we went to the shoot of Kung Ayaw Mo Wag Mo. Sayang kasi I haven't scanned the picture we have naman with Marvin Agustin! I miss that Jolina-crazy highlights - neon yellow and green mix and match days! By the way, that's me to her left, but I'm not the topic of this blog entry, am I? Back to Jolina, don't you love to hate her when she played as Bujoy in 'Labs Kita Okay Ka Lang?':

Bujoy to Ned (Marvin Agustin):"Oh yes kaibigan mo ako. Kaibigan mo lang ako, and that's all I ever was to you Ned. Your best friend...I'm so stupid to make the biggest mistake of falling in love with my best friend!"

That's it for now. More Jolina stuff for you jologs out there in the future! For the meantime, enjoy this AngTV clip! :)

Kuya Germs: A Tribute

***
Q: What's the title of Kuya Germ's weekly teen drama show aired on Channel 9?
A: Young Love, Sweet Love.
***



Kuya Germs, this blogsite is for you.

Yes, Pinoys who will say "ewww, that's jologs" are definitely welcome to browse, for I know you got what it takes survive all the ka-cheapan contained herein.

This is Pinoy Jologs in its purest form.

I bet people who know my love affair with anything jologs - Cinema One, PBO, Body Dancer and Rico Mambo, will not be surprised that I chose Kuya Germs to represent this jologs blog. He is the epitome of Pinoy Jologs, and I mean that in a good way!!! Special thanks,too, to Caloy, who discovered my jologs talent. Hehe :) He has put up an IRC Undernet channel - nostalgiamanila and acts as a stage mother for nostalgiamanila.blogspot.com, but his approach is more classy and nostalgic, mine is plain and simple jologs!

I am a self-proclaimed Pinoy pop trivia queen. My sister,Raina, is one,too! Superfren Momel, Juggie, Momon, Rhoda - we are all part of the jologs family. Together we create a world where Maricel Soriano and Tito Vic and Joey are icons. And yes again, there is a difference between classic and jologs trivia - for I'll just turn my back and ignore you if you ask me for Gloria Romero's first movie. Pinoy jologs trivia is more like those teeny-weeny details that we love to hate with anything showbiz. Still don't get what I mean????
