Measuring the Distraction

As months passed, his exposure lessened. SA had already appeared as a lead actor in a teleserye that, unfortunately, did not bring the expected high ratings. Moreover, SA was hounded by rumors about his sexual preference and even an alleged partner. While these rumors might have affected his female following, SA remained popular among the bekis.
SA was once spotted working out in a gym. Obviously, his fitting get-up caught the attention of other people who were at the same place. His giftedness in that aspect was so noticeable that some got a bit distracted. However, instead of being approached, SA was left alone to do his workout. Perhaps, some were imagining how well endowed SA is. If another hunk had the guts to approach SA and gave hints, would SA give away his alleged true self? What do you think?
The hardest thing to do is to be true to yourself, especially when everybody is watching. -Dave Chappelle

Atty. Raymond Fortun Belittles Cedric Lee-Deniece Cornejo's Kissing Video

In his Facebook page, Fortun reacted to various comments about the footage, which is now in the hands of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI):
“Maybe it's just me, but it looks like the girl didn't even want to be kissed. Others will think otherwise. What matters is, again, what I PERSONALLY KNOW," said Fortun, a spokesman of Lee.
"I have met with DC (Deniece Cornejo) and CL (Cedric Lee) in a meeting and over dinner. Di ko nakita nor naramdaman na close sila. For me, this is another non-issue because it does not prove or disprove the parties' version of events that night,” he added.
"I will NOT say that the CCTV lies. We all saw what we saw. And yes, I'm glad that you noticed that the big group was so relaxed when they went inside the elevator. So... Doesn't look like this group was heading for a fight, tama ba?” Fortun said, in a reply to another comment on his page.
He said he is objecting to the word “passionately” to describe the kisses Lee gave to a smiling Cornejo, after the mauling incident of actor Vhong Navarro on January 22.
“I would object to the use of the word ‘passionately’ then I would pull out the definition from the dictionary. Then I would pull my wife and kiss her in a passionate manner to prove my point. I expect to be sustained by the judge,” he said.
Fortun also believes that the CCTV footage will not affect the case.
“First public statement of CL that they are just friends? As I said, it seemed that the girl didn't even want to be kissed. CL didn't even embrace her, nor did she embrace back. So... the kisses on the cheeks aside, it (won't) affect the case,” he said.

Is It Game Over?

Observers say that VH should have learned when to step down years ago, when the applause was still there. Now people call him pathetic as he seems to really overstay his welcome.
Reportedly a Network Executive NE had already sent VH feelers that his show would be up on the chopping board any moment. The argument is that his show had ceased to be profitable, with hardly any advertiser coming in.
On learning this, VH reportedly threatened the network people concerned that should they chop his show, he would be compelled to pull out all his talents in the network and that he himself would resign.
NE rationalized that not only is VH show not earning anything, but its continuous airing has been bad business for so long, encurring huge financial drain for the network. Overhead expense is just too high.
But people privy to VH said that his strong sentiments for the show is so understandable. For years, VH has been using the show as an avenue to hook young boys for his earthly desires. Allegedly, he spoils them to death, at times even prioritizing their needs over his.
Interestingly, a handful of them are now very successful in their respective careers and endeavors – politics, music, showbiz, among others. Could HV have taught them well, including being clean and sleeping more? After all, it’s a shining, shimmering, splendid world out there. Say you?

Filipino Skater Makes It from Mall to Olympics

Four bows, to be exact, though no one could blame him. He didn’t seem to want to leave the ice Thursday night, and no one was going to blame him for that, either.
This wasn’t the shopping mall in the Philippines, where he learned his jumps and spins while trying to avoid parents and their kids skating by on family outings. This was the Iceberg Skating Palace and this was the Olympics, where the teenager was desperate for the skate of his young life.
He had less than three minutes to prove himself in the short program and make it to the men’s free skate final.
If he didn’t, he might have to be thinking about the next step, perhaps working for his family raising vegetables to sell to Japan.
The expenses had become too much. The mall had contributed some money, but in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan there wasn’t much the government could do for a figure skater, the nation’s only competitor in Sochi.
The family home had already been mortgaged to pay for his skating. There was no more to give.
“We’re hoping he makes it and some companies support him,” his mother, Maria Teresa Martinez, said. “Otherwise he will just have to stop. We cannot afford it anymore. It’s just so expensive and we can’t do another four years.”
In a sequined and braided black and white outfit donated by a designer in New York who saw his Facebook plea for proper Olympic attire, Martinez took the biggest stage of his life, skating just two spots before the great Evgeni Plushenko was supposed to go in front of a capacity crowd at the Olympic arena.
He acknowledged the polite applause, gliding to the center of the ice. He paused, struck a pose, and then began the most important skate of his career.
“I was so nervous,” he said. “This was such a big event.”
He had reason to be. At 17, he is the youngest skater in the program and the only Filipino figure skater ever in the Olympics.
Still, Martinez was sure he would prevail. The gangly kid with the mop of black hair had to, because this has been his life ever since he walked by the rink in the Manila mall at the age of 9, saw the skaters, and declared to his mother that this was something he wanted to do.
He fell on his behind that day, but that didn’t stop him from coming back the next. Neither did the asthma that put him in the hospital many times and kept him from playing sports outdoors.
“I WILL make the free skate,” he declared after practice the night before. “Because I am prepared.”
Preparation, though, only counts so much. So on his Facebook page, Martinez asked his friends to “Please pray for me.”
He began his skate by hitting a nice triple axel, drawing applause from the crowd. But on his second jump he didn’t finish the rotation on a triple lutz and triple toe loop, lowering his marks from the judges.
But his spins were good, the rest of the program nicely skated. Most importantly, he didn’t look like a 17-year-old making his Olympic debut.
In 2 minutes and 39 seconds, Martinez showed he belonged. And now all there was to do was to wait.
“I’m very happy and proud,” he said. “I missed just one jump but the rest of the program was good.”
In the kiss-and-cry area, Martinez waved his jacket with “Philippines” on the back to the crowd, drawing cheers. He sat with the Russian coach his mother — who learned skating along with her son so she could save money by coaching him herself — had hired for him, flashing a thumbs-up sign as his score was posted.
It was 64.81, his best ever. But Martinez would have to wait again to find out whether it would be good enough to be one of the top 24 skaters who make it to the free skate.
“I think so, maybe half and half,” he said. “I’m a little confident, but then I’m not.”
Nearby, though, some of the other early skaters were struggling. Some fell trying jumps, others made mistakes that lowered their scores.
Plushenko himself fell on a triple axel in warm-ups, hurting his back and ending his bid to add another medal on home ice to the four he already won.
Suddenly, the math was starting to look good. It wasn’t official yet, but Martinez had made it in.
“I feel like a real champion,” he said.
For one night at the Olympics, that’s exactly what the kid from the mall was.
