Blah Blah Blogs: The Story Of Lola Pera

Lola is always game for wacky shots.

July is an unhealthy month for my family, my father FPJ Sr., died of a heart failure due to his complications on the day the Oakwood Mutiny started. We did not know about the events as we were morning for the loss of our Papa. Recently it also claimed the life of my maternal grandmother Felisa, who was born in 1931, in our province at La Union.

Deaths were also frequent this year with relatives like our Uncle Terry  who also died a few months ago. But for Lola's condition it came gradually and lasted months. We were hoping that she would reach her 100th birthday and claim the Centenarian prize of P100,000 because she was strong yet stubborn.

Blah Blah Blogs: Paalam Pidol

Indeed it really hurts my heart to see the passing of the King of Comedy. Dolphy or Rodolfo Vera Quizon has been part of so many generations with unparalleled comedy which gave him the title of "King of Comedy".  He made hundreds of movies, TV shows and countless fans that have gained him respect and love. As a kid of the 90s, my memories of him is his role as Kevin Cosme of Home Along the Riles. 

Though I have not seen all of his film (mostly clips from his movies in the 50s), he is considered a "National Treasure"  for his contributions in the industry. Alongside FPJ, he shaped Philippine cinema with his roles from almost all profession and even gender. He is also the sole actor who was able to have a Darna movie.

MUSIC LYF: Thank You Withney Houston

I just woke up with a bad  news that music icon Whitney Houston was found dead in a Beverly Hills Hotel. The source of her death is still unknown but definitely it shook the music world and her fans. I too was indeed sad on her passing as I loved her songs like I Will Always Love You, When You Believe, I Wanna Dance WIth Somebody, and my favorite When You Believe.


Indeed we were touched by her songs in one way or the other, this what makes a artists leave their permanence which we will greatly remember even if they do have issues on their own. Whitney has faced a downfall with her lifestyle and unfortunately with her return to the music scene has turned into a sad tragedy.

Blah Blah Blogs Ber Edition: Undas 2011

WARNING THIS IS MY 666th POST AND RATED PG

Another year passes and another undas has come again to remind us that we are not immortal, we die and turn into bones and dust.  This year was also sad with the passing of my grandmother (we call her Lola Haneng, her real name is Juana). And now the family lot just got new boarders. When I went there last Halloween, just because  to avoid the crowd, I saw in the gravestone that my grandfather is also buried there too. He died way back in 1974, so long before I was born but he is buried in Batangas, and we never had the chance to visit him during this season. It's really heartwarming despite the fact that they both already died yet they are together in eternity.
