October started with an admission long coming: Wu Chun finally owns up to his 18-year relationship. I can’t decide whether this is Brunei’s tightly-guarded secret or Bandar Seri Begawan’s open secret. I mean, the place is practically a kampung and to be able to guard this from the pesky paparazzi from Hong Kong and Taiwan–who,…
There’s a lot of hoohah going around in Philippine blogosphere about an entertainment journalist’s cringe-worthy interview with Anne Hathaway during her promo tour of LES MISERABLES. I did not have the heart to watch the video of the interview but I read the transcript, which already made me cringe. Below is the video of that…
I never really understood the penchant of celebrities to wear face masks when they go out thinking they’re going to blend with the crowd and not be recognized. Okay, I get it.

Sometimes you get an assignment to interview someone and it happens to be a celebrity. Sometimes also the interview…
I’m looking at my passport to remember the travels I have done this year. Not many compared to previous years it seems. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (March) My first trip in 2011 happened to be for the Jay Chou concert in Kuala Lumpur. To be honest, KL is not really one of my fave cities in…
Taiwan marked its 100 years last October 10 and to mark it, I have decided to list the 100 reasons why I love the country. I haven’t really been all over the tiny island that is shaped like a leaf so the list could be limited. But that is my dream, to take one month…
