Takipsilim, the supposed Filipino remake of Twilight, has been creating quite a stir in cyberspace. I've read so many hate blogs and rude comments lately about the remake lately. My thoughts?
THOUGHT #1: It really pissed me off how closed-minded Filipinos are. Yes, it is a re-make. Yes, Rayver Cruz and Shaina Magdayao are playing Edward and Bella. But I really think that we should give the show a chance. Not all remakes are awful. Have you seen Ugly Betty? It's a great show right? Well, guess what? It's just a remake of the Colombian telenovela Betty La Fea!Yes, the original name of the show really is indeed Betty La Fea so don't go around saying how disgusting the Filipino remake is because ours is closer to the orginal..sort of. Besides, I know Filipinos are gonna watch it nonetheless--out of curiosity.
THOUHT #2: The poster is Photoshop-ed for crying out loud! Isn't it obvious? Apparently not. After seeing Takipsilim's poster, I was already convinced that this was just probably a practical joke someone pulled. Maybe someone thought it was funny so they edited the original poster and posted it online. A few gullible readers might have copy-pasted the picture and spread it through their own blogs. After that was a massive group of angry Twilighters.
Don't worry Twilighters. ABS-CBN has denied rumors of reportedly paying $1 million to secure the rights for the television series. A big *whew* to Filipino Twilighters.
My question is though: Why did ABS-CBN post an article last week that they have in fact exclusive rights to make a television series based on Twilight?
I've discovered something so cool that you can do with Google. Kuya Nicki, my former tutor but now a family friend, taught me this trick.
First, go to Google, everyone's savior. Next, type find Chuck Norris. Don't click that Enter button just yet! Click I'm feeling lucky instead. Have fun reading! :))
So you're probably thinking: Is this Google's idea of a practical joke? The answer is no but the real question is: Are you even in Google?
Check out the URL. It says http://www.nochucknorris.com/ Yes, that is a real website :)) Also, if you try clicking any of the links on the upper part of the window, they won't work. They won't lead you anywhere but that site so don't bother.
Who exactly is Chuck Norris? Yes, he is a real person and that is his real name. Well, "Chuck" is his nickname and "Carlos Rey Norris" is his full name but all the same, he's not using a screen name. According to Wikipedia, he's an American martial artist, action star, and television and film actor.

I've never seen any of his movies but according to Kuya Nicki, his Filipino counterpart is Lito Lapid. He's almost like a fictional character because there are online jokes about him, like this website I found that had "Chuck Norris Facts".
Here are some of my favorite:
Fact #1: If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you. Fact #2: There is no 'ctrl' button on Chuck Norris's computer. Chuck Norris is always in control. Fact #3: Chuck Norris is suing Myspace for taking the name of what he calls everything around you. Fact #4: Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise. Fact #5: When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris. Fact #6: There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live. Fact #6: Outer space exists because it's afraid to be on the same planet with Chuck Norris. Fact #7: Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice. Fact #8: When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down. Fact #9: Chuck Norris is so fast, he can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head. Fact #10:Chuck Norris doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is.
Claudine Barreto is an amazing actress. She's one of my favorite actually but you have to admit this is pretty hilarious.
"Magandang magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat at sa lahat ng nanonood ng ASAP Mania! Celebration ng-" *trips* "-Ay, putang ina!" *covers mouth* *looks at audience* "Sorry" *oh, oh*
This is not my first blog in Blogger. I've had other blogs in Blogger before but they always ended up in the same state: unused. It's not that I don't like it here in Blogger. It's just that Multiply has been my blogging host for more than two years already. I'm already so familiar and used to it that it's so hard to have another blog in a completely different blogging host. Plus, the fact that I already have readers there. Making one in Blogger would just take me back to where I was more than two years ago: no readers.
So why make another blog here in Blogger?
One, to expand my range. And the other two are secret missions.
I have two missions here in Blogger. One is related to my school, Philippine Science High School - Southern Mindanao Campus and the other is related to a contest.
As of now, I am keeping this blog a secret from my friends in Pisay or any of my readers in Multiply. I want to start from scratch. Although, I will eventually tell them.
Before I end this blog, just leave me a message in my tagboard if you want to exchange links. I'm a friendly person. I don't bite :D
