Did You Know?

Above I use the phrase "through and through". Ano nga ba ang tama ... through and through ... or thru and thru?

The correct phrase is "through and through" as "thru" is considered an informal abbreviation of "through" and should generally be avoided in formal writing; "through and through" means completely or thoroughly. 

THROUGH is the only formally accepted spelling of the word. THRU is an alternate spelling that should be used only in informal writing or when referring to drive-throughs/drive-thrus.

Both "WALK THRU" and "WALK THROUGH" are acceptable depending on the context. “Walk thru” and “walk through” mean the same thing: To move through a place. To go over something carefully.

What's in A Name

I am very sure na kung manligaw si Ken Chan kay Jackie Gonzaga ng It's Showtime ... pag-isipan talaga ni Jackie kung aakyat sa susunod na level ang ligawan.

Knock on wood ... kung magkatuloyan sila ... will Jackie be comfortale kung tawagin siyang Jackie Chan?

SAMGYUPSAL-amat Kaibigan!

Dumating ang isa naming kaibigan galing sa South Korea. Siempre naghingi kami ng konting blow-out dahil mukhang pinalad siya doon sa land of KIMCHI.

Nagpustahan pa kami at suspetsa namin na hahanap ito ng isang Korean restaurant ... para doon kami kakain to drink a toast to his success sa bayan ng mga OPPA.

Indeed we can read him like a book. Tama nga ang basa namin sa aming long lost friend. Very predictable. Little did he know na malawak na rin ang aking experience with Korean cuisine based on my association with them ... sa Middle East man or sa America:

JJIGAE... JAPCHAE...TTEOKBOKKI...BIBIMBAP..BOLGOGI at iba pa.

Ganun pa man ...SAMGYUPSAL-amat sa ating mini-reunion. At nagkita ulit tayo.

Political Short

There is an unseen force that delays the impeachment trial ni Inday Sara until a later date. Salamat Senator Chit Escudero. Ikaw pala yon?

Naka-ZIPPER ang bibig ng mga tao ... pero ang mga reaction shots nila ay may SUBTITLE! Yong reaction nila ... parang Chinese movies na kahit hindi mo maintiendihan ang dialogue ... ang mga gestures and expression nila ay nagmumura ... and their eyes do all the talking.

Ah ... if looks could kill ...

Are The Stars Out Tonight?

 

Not everybody has a chance to brush elbows with the stars in the entertainment, modeling, and pageant industries so when the invitation starts knocking at my door ... who am I to refuse. Others may frown at it ... but it is irresistible. Well-meaning friends have given us the opportunity on a silver platter (it is like allowing us to get something easily ... without having to work on it) so when I saw the window ... in basketball lingo - an opening ... all I did was to dribble the ball ... do the lay-up and shoot it for the much-needed money shot.

Toni Gonzaga - the host, actress, and singer rolled into one. Bump into her in ABS CBN sprawling corridors and she asked: " Are you going to watch ASAP today.  You better be ... I will be singing."

Toni is a rare avis and I tell you she is the most misunderstood in showbiz. Whatever she does is her own business. And whatever mood she is in ... let's give her some elbow room ... to be herself.
