The Fujiwara effect or Fujiwara interaction is a type of interaction between two nearby cyclonic vortices, causing them to appear to "orbit" each other. (from Wikipedia)
With the Filipinos' penchant for Taiwanese (Meteor Garden) and lately, Korean soap operas (Full House and Princess Hours - to name a few), I've always wondered why nobody has thought about producing a project with these guys yet. And now, after being fed with a strange concoction of aliens that look like burn victims, remakes of past drama hits, remakes of other soap operas, and the usual lost-child-true-child formulas, finally, something interesting.
Produced by Ignite Media Inc. and GMA Films, and filmed in the islands of Batanes - is Batanes (thank God not another song title for a movie title!) starring Iza Calzado and Ken Chu (of F4 fame). And it's not just a TV drama series, it's a movie. I checked out the trailer on youtube and it looks quite promising.
I know, I know, just another love story right? But at least we won't be seeing people in stupid costumes and pretend there's a story there somewhere.
Hopefully Batanes is the start of something good for the (dying) Philippine film industry. There has got to be something more, something better, out there.
Right, Amber? lolz.

question: why do we pout our lips when we're doing beso-beso? ba't nakaganun *makes pouting expression* ang lips natin when we're not actually going to kiss, cheek to cheek lang actually ang magtatouch?anyhooooo.
was watching Miss Philippines Earth over at abs-cbn. actually, i am watching the Vic Zhou and Barbie Xu (real life couple now! -- geeezzzsh i'm always the last one to know about these things) drama series Mars on youtube (kasalanan mo to aya!), the TV just happened to be there running the beauty pageant and my mom was watching. i have to say that really, Filipinas are beautiful creatures. but one thing i hate about beauty pageants is the question and answer portion. wherefore it's original purpose was to show to the world that beauty can also come with brains, it doesn't always turn out that way.
i cannot remember the last time i was impressed by a beauty candidate's answer over a question thrown at her. but i can remember the last time i
like piolo says, how would you explain global warming to a child?
if i was the one being asked,
me: *blank*
piolo: *smiles an encouraging smile*
me: i...think...i'm...having...a global warming...*drools*
piolo: *runs away screaming*
i mean really. how can you possible worry about global warming when there's piolo making you feel that's everything's going to be alright in this world? you can hear heaven's choir of angels for chrissakes. what on earth were they thinking asking piolo and john lloyd cruz to host that pageant. how can you think of something smart when face to face with something like this:
not fair isn't it?sana naging baso na lang ako.
or chocolate chip cookie.
kamusta naman ang F4 di ba?
at a recent appearance in Japannever really got caught in the F4 fever (though i thought Jerry Yan was a cutie -- so cute those dimples!)...makes me wonder, Japan, Korea and Taiwan all have big stars now. when will the Philippines give these guys a run for their money?
