My Blog

well, isn’t it true that  love is just an itchy thing.. to start with fear of  unknown is something do I have to bank on, being a pro in this  kind of situation that I claim I am. but I must be kidding since fear is inevitable like a  nightmare or monster beneath your bed like a song goes, haha.  so love is  fast and  furious.. but  foul and fool?  how cant it be just sweet and tasty..salty or yummy.

but still, anyone is weak  and fragile when it comes to love,  love makes us strangers to our own persons, having said and thought anticipations  or  doubts that  only happen in the movies.  as if every beat is only  a new beginning or the first time of falling in love.

Honestly, i dont like love for the pain and bitterness It may bring.  I just like the sex and  drama. haha.  err, passion , love and sperm.. perhaps. I guess, thats so vulgar.  so I wont  say that . haha. should I spit or swallow  that pungent protein-shake.  Fill me.

Or it’s only lust..haha.  for the glory.  but no, i still  believe in love. that feeling you cant  define nor  describe like a spark  of hope  or a ray of light for your insanity and sadness. it’s just a matter of time and space that 2 lovers must create to procreate. haha.

I’m still pondering what  to write here–too lazy but still naughty..haha. i wonder why men go shirtless for anything if not proud or gay as I drooled over a  hairy and bulky guy  before finding out he’s member of the 3rd kind–i just realized i added plenty of them in the sight of a  half-bare monkey– kidding, body builders, dancers–err, macho  dancers, maybe some of them, and call boys–masseurs if thats the word,  so whats the big deal,  women are fond of candies and lollipops..haha, i mean, machismo  that glistens with sweat,oil, and (hair) perhaps.. since I have penchant for Indians?  haha.  yes, hairy chest. does it turn me on so it makes me wet while  thinking of them, as if have the time to enjoy  viewing their oiled and sweaty bodies.

As if there’s someone who is waiting in my bed, maybe fondling his member wearing nothing but  a sando shirt with bulging muscles and a throbbing hard-on..,  Like a fantasy where I’m the one dancing in lingerie with sexy music by Pussy Cat Dolls or Mariah Carey.

I ran out of time, will and title to write a new blog so I just settled with a song by Air Supply though Come what May is my favorite, so it didn’t have any relevance except sitting here wasted , posted and busted. haha. not at all. besides, having no clamor or intent to earn and interact with my savage articles.

So what happened in the past few months I didn’t have time to watch new/old movies or anything I would rattle for after I watched Death Race by Joan Allen & Jason Statham as I go back to PM where I strut and throttle to my delight and glib, were spent and written there and anywhere I could exist, not necessarily about lovelife but for fun, work and business. I’m busy as always, seated somewhere writing and working for my own disgust as the author of my own life. haha.

So here I am, imagine me ,lying in bed, wearing a black lingerie with a whip and shackles , smiling, pouting and tantalizing like the Devil (Elizabeth Hurley in Bedazzled) with nothing but naughty thoughts about life and passion in general.. haha. sex and prejudice…haha.

Subject and Verb Agreement Rules

1. Subjects and verbs must have the same number. Thus, a singular
subject requires a singular verb form, and a plural subject requires a
plural verb form.
The girl plays the clarinet. The dogs bark. The juggling of family
obligations and career responsibilities makes college difficult for
many students.

2.  Don’t let words that come between the subject and verb affect agreement.
The various types of drama were not discussed.  Jerome, who hit the two homeruns last night, is the best player.
The price of those shoes is too high.

3. Don’t be confused when certain prepositions occur between the
subject and verb (e.g., along with, as well as, besides, in addition
to, including, together with).
The coach, along with the players, protests the decision. The biology
teacher, in addition to some parents, is taking the bus to the science
museum with the class. The accountant as well as his office manager is
attending the conference in Seattle.

4. In sentences beginning with “there” or “here,” the subject will
follow the verb. Take care to identify the subject before deciding
which verb form to use. Remember “there” and “here” can never be
subjects.
There is an abundance of azaleas in the back garden this spring.  Here are the keys to your car.

5. In a question, where the usual subject-verb word order is not
followed, be careful to find the subject before deciding which verb
form to use.
Was the bus on time?  Do mother and dad really want to renew their marriage vows this spring?
Is there a purpose to this assignment? Does James always work so
efficiently? Where are my shoes? Are Jim and his sister at home? Was
Mary planning to enter the competition?

6.  Subjects joined by “and” usually take a plural verb.
The cook and the waitresses are asking for a raise.  My sister and her children were swimming all afternoon.
Exceptions: 
a.  If the two subjects refer to the same person or thing, the verb is singular.
The owner and manager of the 7-Eleven on the corner was robbed last
night. Sue’s friend and advisor was surprised by her decision. Macaroni
and cheese is my favorite Friday night dinner. Peanut butter and jelly
was always my son’s favorite sandwich. Spaghetti and meatballs is the
specialty of the house in this Italian restaurant. Strawberries and
cream was added to the menu.
b.  If words like each, every, many a, or no come before the subject, the verb is singular:
Every boy and girl at the party was given a present to take home. Each
envelope and piece of paper has the name of the company on it. Each dog
and each cat has been immunized. No talking and no laughing is
permitted in the library.

7.  Subjects joined by or, nor, either/or, neither/nor, and not only/but also are handled in the following manner:
a.  If the subjects are both singular, the verb is singular.
Julie or Tisha is responsible for baking the birthday cake.  Neither the doll nor the tea set  is too expensive. 
b.  If the subjects are plural, the verb is plural.
Roses or geraniums are going to be planted under the picture window in
the front yard. Neither the students nor the teachers were impressed by
his comments.
c.  If one subject is singular and one plural, the verb is matched with the nearer subject: 
Neither Daniel nor his brothers plan to go deep-sea fishing this
morning. Neither his brothers nor Daniel plans to go deep-sea fishing
this morning. Does Joe or his friends want some pizza? Do your sisters
or Joe want some pizza?

**Good shortcut–for rule #7 above, just look at the subject closest to
the verb. If the subject is singular, choose the singular form of the
verb; if the subject is plural, choose the plural form of the verb.

8. An infinitive used as a subject of a sentence takes the singular
form of the verb. However, two infinitives joined by “and” take the
plural form of the verb.
To be a good husband was Jim’s ambition.   In basketball, to dribble well and to shoot accurately require practice.
9. A gerund that is used as the subject of a sentence takes the
singular form of the verb. (Gerunds are “ing” words that function as
nouns, not verbs.) However, two gerunds linked by “and” take the plural
form of the verb.
Saddling the wild horse was no easy task for the cowboy.  Tuning the engine on this old car requires patience.
Preparing a resume and interviewing with prospective employers are two
important steps in the job-hunting process. Collecting antique jewelry
and playing the banjo are my hobbies.
**But be careful:  Note the following two sentences.  In each of these, there is no gerund acting as the subject.
Perching in the moonlight on the tall tree branch was an old owl.  (“owl” [subject] was perching [verb])
Running down the street were two police officers.  (“officers” [subject] were running [verb])

10. In general, use a singular verb with collective nouns regarded as a
unit. (Examples of common collective nouns are audience, jury, herd,
senate, public, council, crowd, family, class, board, assembly,
committee, panel, orchestra, group.)
The team plays well after a good night’s sleep.  (team refers to the whole group)
The jury has been deliberating for two days.  (jury refers to the whole group)
Exception: Use the plural form of the verb if the collective noun refers to individuals in a group.
The majority of the students were studying in the computer lab.  (majority  refers to many individual students)
Note this special rule: The phrase “the number” is treated as singular; “a number” is treated as plural.
The number of employees has decreased this year.  (number  regarded as a unit)
A number of employees are being fired this year.  (number  refers to many individual employees)

11. Some nouns that end in “s” are singular in meaning and take
singular verbs (e.g., news, civics, measles, diabetes, AIDS,
gymnastics, aerobics, electronics, statistics, ethics, physics, and
politics). Also, titles of books, movies, short stories, newspaper and
magazine articles, poems, and plays may be plural in form but are
considered singular in number. The names of some businesses,
geographical entities, and words referred to as words are treated
similarly.
Statistics is not being offered this semester.  The Birds is one of Alfred Hitchcock’s most well-known thrillers. 
The Wings of the Dove, a complex novel by Henry James, was recently shown on network television.
Finkle Brothers has a sale this week.  The Philippines has a tropical climate.  “Homo sapiens’ is often misspelled.

12. Indefinite pronouns like each, either, neither, one, no one,
nothing, nobody, anyone, anything, anybody, everyone, everything,
everybody, someone, something, and somebody usually take singular verbs.
Each of the hunters wears a red jacket.  Everybody on patrol tonight needs to be on high alert.
Neither of the women has a reliable car.  Anyone is permitted to participate in the race.

13.  Some indefinite pronouns are always plural (both, few, many, several).
Both were at fault in the opinion of the army general.  Many of my classmates are going on the trip to Mexico.

14. Noun and pronoun subjects like all, any, most, none, more, part,
some, half, one-half, two-thirds, a lot of may take either a singular
or plural verb, depending on the prepositional phrase that follows
them. (This is the only circumstance in which the object of the
preposition is ever considered.)
All of the pie is gone. All of the cookies are gone. None of the oil
from the car has dripped onto your driveway. Some of the cake was
eaten. Some of the puzzle’s pieces were found in the closet.

15. A relative pronoun (who, whom, which, that) used as the subject of
a clause takes a singular or plural verb depending on its antecedent.
In other words, you must know which word the pronoun refers to before
you decide which verb to use.
Every volunteer who works tonight must wear safety glasses. I bought
the peach that was ripe. I bought the peaches that were ripe. She is a
competent employee who is expected to succeed.
Note: For phrases like “one of the students who” or “one of the things
that,” logic must dictate. (A phrase with “only one” takes a singular
verb.)

16. When units of measurement for distance, time, volume, height,
weight, money, etc. are used as subjects, they usually take the
singular verb form.
Two teaspoons of sugar was all that the cake recipe called for. Four
pounds of rice seems to be more than we really need. Five dollars is
too much to pay for a hot dog.

17.  Only the subject affects the form of the verb.
My dog’s biggest problem in this hot weather is fleas.

New site, new friends, new life? ..wow. i dont realize this would be exciting than PM after i lost my battle and appetite. maybe after I tripped on my grammar lapses ..haha..Yet going to a new site is calm and cold at first, you dont know the site except your old friends from  other sites if they bother to join after you sent invites through ym listing, being new, fresh, fragile and thin compared to fat and furious  PM or Titikpilipino, or Bangag…which I knew by chance when i was looking for a new bed and playground.

Someday, this site will bloom , boom, bang and gang into a hybrid monster by breeze and buzz of musicians all over Asia yet i dont see anything yet since the contents need kiss and brisk, grip and grasp, support and rapport from moderators and members.

But why should I care anyway, i wasn’t paid a cent for promoting this site besides being a new member after it evolved from Musicnetwork..haha, kidding,  I look forward and beyond to friendship and fun i will bring and gain from this brainchild of a former Thats Entertainment member who I never had a glimpse before so I just look at him as Jojo Alejar’s look-alike.

It’s romantic but short in content and style..yet long and boring when I watched it today as I thought it’s about erectile dysfunction of  men around 36-60 years old. haha. So I’ve found out this was about a 35 year old guy who still live with his parents at marrying age so they hired an interventionist acted by Sarah Jessica Parker, to change their son’s mind of being carefree, dependent and casual about love and life.

So they met, dated and fell in love with each other until lie and deception turned out bitter but better in the end about their effort to launch him out of the house, since the norm in America is to settle independently even to the point of paying for   university fees w/o asking the parents to shoulder their tuition unlike in Asian countries where it’s a major responsibility of the parents to send their children to school and even support their family in the future as part of being family-oriented which is actually a bad Filipino trait according to survey and effect.

Sarah Jessica Parker is a lovely and sweet woman who may not be beautiful and young like Zooey Deschanel but she’s able to portray that light and effective character that a romantic movie for the adult viewers must possess. Obviously the same charm she used in Sex and the City series and film. While Matthew McConaughey is not the typical white guy with his tan and bod coz he can arouse the female audience more than Jason Segel did in Forgetting Sarah Marshall..haha. although Justin Bartha & Bradley Cooper are glassy and cheeky like Matt yet they are dork and geek but there’s that radiant and boyish sex appeal that is natural and hot when you check their eyes..and it’s obvious that Matt  got the face, height and might as lead actor on this film.

Maybe the Wedding Planner in 2001  starring Matt and J Lo was more itchy and romantic..haha. since Maid in Manhattan was enormous and fabulous when it hit the cinema in 2002 opposite dark and scary Ralph Fiennes but he’s amiable and handsome in this film as a senatorial candidate who fell in love with a maid.

I like this film yet I missed the comedy and romance except the chipmunk, dolphin and iguana bites that Matt endured which was weird and horrible unlike  good romantic comedy like There’s something about Mary and The Sweetest Thing, or feel-good movies like Legally Blonde and Sweet Home Alabama, or The Lake House or PS I love You, so it really failed to launch the goods haha. maybe i didn’t watch the movie at all. or i just took Sex and the City film adaptation against Sarah for her ugly and old angles.

I didnt know Jason Segel & Kristin Bell before I watch this movie but i read that he did  full frontal nude scenes so I said he’s hot and handsome  like Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Brendan Fraser & Keanu Reeves.and the ultimate dreamboat—the late Christopher Reeve against the lanky and dusky Luke Ford in The Mummy 3…so I used my eyes for the first time I would ever see a naked actor on-screen…but I was dismayed..maybe!..by his flaccid and meek revelation..haha.

i thought it’s cool, sexy, spicy, saucy, juicy, cranky and tasty to see a 6′4" guy in his birthday suit but it’s abrupt, awkward, clumsy, funny, nasty and dorky. it’s hot like an iron but hey, to sell it like milk or pancake is like a punch on the moon, unless he was Hugh Jackman in the movie Someone Like You with Ashley Judd, or Im just being capricious like im thinking it’s disgusting to flaunt his tiny baby not a fat member to convey that height is might in all aspects… haha. after all, it’s a cocky move for a guy to swing his equipment all the way from the bathroom. that’s actually a shameless act.

Enough for that milky and tender part of his body coz i have to say this film is boring and lame in a span of almost two hours waiting for me to drop my laptop rather than finish this movie about Forgetting Sarah Marshall who was portrayed by Kristin Bell. What can i say about her being tiny too..haha. I guess their tandem can  match another boring couple , Jennifer Aniston & Vince Vaughn in the movie The Break up which they also imitated in real life when they fell apart… and the recent  Jennifer & John Mayer affair which also headed to destruction..haha. which might be the real reference of this movie since Jason Segel suited a character, who was tall and healthy like Vince and    talented like John Mayer as a songwriter.

The movie is soft and nice if only they made it short and simple w/o the documentary about Hawaii..from Pineapple drink to surfing. It’s cheesy but flimsy using Jack McBrayer (the guy from Touch My Body music video)  & the unknown junk and dork Russel Brand, to perform kamasutra sex techniques in the film since they just acted like pigs w/o anything but white meat, not sensual and kinky like Sean William Scott or Chris Klein..or even Jason Biggs. haha. straight from the American Pie series., and the hottest….Adam Sandler …from the Jewish movie  You dont mess up with the Zohan..haha.

If Jason Segel will work out and develop a body like Matthey Mcconaughey… he got the looks… but not the girth..haha. and the bubble butt..he’s cute with Mila Kunis as the Hawaiian hotel receptionist whom he fell in love with later in the movie, who is much hotter than Vannessa Minnillo.

I saw Sarah Geronimo in Southmall in 2002 when she’s one of the finalists of Search for a Star having a duet with Mark Bautista and it never occurred in my mind that one day she’d be a young superstar as of 2008. Yet i may say nobody can surpass Sharon Cuneta’s charm, formula and impact in tv, recording and film during her teenage years so Sarah appears to be a just a fan in this movie "A Very Special Love" as the love interest of John Lloyd Cruz doing an Aga Muhlach look and projection with a Regine Velasquez pairing appeal as a signature Viva Films genre..

The story is light and dismal  like it’s just written for a day and filmed in 2 weeks if not for a month with  the concise location shoots and scenes with  the shallow plot and illogical progression.  The only edge  is that Star Cinema has the color and grip unlike in GMA Films with unbalanced frames and pale color.

You can also compare this feel-good movie to May Minamahal by Aga & Aiko Melendez with respect to the efforts and skills that Sarah & John Lloyd portrayed in this film if they could ever give justice with this suicidal tandem as if Sarah’s father pointed a gun on Star Cinema & Viva Films to make a major starring role for her or else  they will run to GMA7 being the rival network since Aga & Regine could use the plot with mature storyline and consistent drama where they could showcase their mass appeal and talent once again as also suited to Piolo Pascual & Angel Locsin since they have the meat and blood after the concluded Lobo series.

In my opinion,  this film is a cinematic failure and nuisance. If only Sarah’s exposure and tract are concerned as a multimedia star then she can do better than this w/o appearing in a film thats not yet suited to her look and experience with the  boyish John Lloyd Cruz who can not be a President of a publishing company with only one magazine at hand closing after being number 2 in the market as if it’s just a matter of one-day sale account with his skinny pants matched with old studio blazers that is a total fashion disaster making him look like a penguin as if he was Danny DeVito. He lacked the camera angle which won’t  make him look short unlike Mark Ruffalo in 13 going 30 with Jennifer Garner.  Sarah also did a fashion failure for this film, having that firm and dry wig as if she was Eugene Domingo with hair highlights which made her look old like her mother but I like her charm and mass appeal that cater to ordinary youth and family giving hope that dreams do come true from being a movie fan and singing contest talent into the young superstar that she is by now, despite this experimental movie that may not have a sequel like the major flop Dream Boy by Piolo Pascual & Bea Alonzo.

Dream Big..I like the opening salvo of the trio with the heavy belting and dancing that Jennifer Hudson did for the song Move as she occupied the stage  swinging and singing like Barney and Dumbo, yet I didn’t watch any recorded performance of The Supremes led by Diana Ross, only her recent duet with Westlife with the song When You tell that You love me.

It’s a big break for Jennifer as Effie White in 2006 after she was named as the 7th finalist in the 3rd season of American Idol in 2004 along with Jasmine Trias & Camile Velasco, both born by Filipino parents, earning her BAFTA ,SAG, Golden Globe & Academy awards for Best Supporting Actress so she remarkably overshadowed Beyonce Knowles who was the most popular in the trio with the yet unknown Anika Noni Rose, but I wonder why she lost her luster too fast pushing her to accept the small role in Sex in the City film adaptation this year. but i could say Keith Robinson who was a virtually unknown actor, upstaged Jamie Foxx and Eddie Murphy being a true RnB performer as the songwriter in the movie and brother of Jennifer Hudson.

The movie is rare and inspirational but I just find it ear-splitting that Jennifer always sung with that belting style where you would be annoyed plus the perky but loud musical parts of emotional scenes with the song "And Im telling you Im not going" and "Listen" unlike the soft and heartfelt renditions of The Winner Takes it all & SOS in Mammia Mia by Pierce Brosnan & Meryl Streep..yet thats forgivable and obvious having the full and powerhouse vocals of Jennifer and Beyonce, imagine how bad it could be if Fantasia Barrino was Effie White with her glass-breaking and roof-shattering voice, having said Jennifer stole the role from her, but I hope they casted Taye Diggs or Colin Salmon….to cater to the female crowd since Beyonce is voluptuous and sumptuous to the opposite sex.

I can’t describe this film w/o being a racist and paranoid viewer  over the rift between the Middle Eastern Asians and Americans in general, although Palestinians and Jews  stood as the two parties to lessen the impact of being  cocky  and pungent toward terrorist look-alikes who must be mistaken as immigrants  from Afghanistan and Pakistan if not from Iraq as part of Axis of Evil, after the two towers collapsed.

With the frequent exposure of tight and lean derriere of Adam Sandler , this movie is a hilarious flick if not a major delight to the pink community especially by the plump that he projected on-screen and free-sex service after the haircut given to the matrons..haha.. Yet he could be inane as a male gigolo to arouse the larger scale of the women’s club but it’s safe to say he’s a big laugh even not in muscles and other proportions, but sure he’s sexy although the short shorts was quite annoying.

But I think  Israel citizens must be offended and tormented as Zohan portrayed too much nudity and sexual conduct among the aged women in favor of being a hairdresser..haha.. like Jews in general are not religious but lewd and malicious  to convey that they are sexually liberated  much worse than Americans since it’s foul and obscene to see a parlor with a vulgar display and sound of sexual acts just behind the comfort room across the parlor area, like it’s natural and legal for any Israeli to strip and satisfy a woman in public especially the crunchy and frigid  60-year olds.

It’s blatant  like  oil-heated grenade  and pungent like excessive hummus spread or arm pits and hairy body of the Arab men if it’s true that spicy food make them lethal to the smell, to connect and relate the significance of the ambition of being a hairdresser from being an immortal secret agent like he did a Hancock parody with humor and girth much hotter than butt exposure of Will Smith..haha.
