vj igi and his oral prosthesis

we caught arnel pineda's guesting at a MYX show with the cutie vj Igi a few days ago. the lead vocalist of the american band "journey" seemed ill at ease, but he was gracious nevertheless, responding to the seemingly pointless set of questions were hurled at him. igi cutie was bursting with energy, evident in his fidgety movement and restless hands. there were times you just wished he'd just shut up and dance some sexy dance - hihi - or just smile on cam without a word - although his pesky oral prosthetics would still be a huge visual annoyance.

things got better when igi actually asked things that interested him - about how he always wanted to sing but couldn't - and arnel started giving him on-cam tips! lucky guy! these moments also allowed the viewers a little peek into arnel's private life: that he will be here in the country until the end of january 2009; that he just popped the big question to his girlfriend - who expectedly said "yes"; that he's excited and a little anxious with his engagement; that his american bandmates didn't take well into eating pinoy food: "they stick with their vegetable salads," arnel offered; and that the asian leg of Journey's world tour will kick off in manila.

back to vj igi. back when he was just a vj aspirant, he was the one who got my vote basically because he looked good - and what's a visual medium if you're looking at someone who's ugly, right? also, he could speak 1,998 words a minute. LOL.

now here's my 2 cents worth to interviewers. when you have celebrities standing before you, ask them what actually interests you. that way, the conversation flows naturally. and it will run its course freely, instead of mouthing boring questions that the show's writers thought would be interesting to the audience. that is a major pitfall especially if this set of questions doesn't even interest the one asking them.

i remember watching last year's vj search and learned that vj igi and his sibs were actually born in roma. now this is my insipid question: does he speak italian?

a day after that interview, we chanced upon vj igi again, and oh my gosh, he looked like papa piolo. er, i mean, a piolo who can miraculously and comfortably speak the queen's language! LOL

hay naku, what a gorgeous guy. wonder if he has a gf - or how many. teehee




and yes, congratulations to arnel on his recent engagement! may you have a blissful journey ahead.

chaos in trinoma

van pojas: here's another goodbye sooooooong.....

a few weeks ago, i was leisurely walking with abbie (my bff) and kyle (my gay bff) in trinoma and we didn't realize there was a huge contest happening as we headed down the escalator. it was the MYX vj search (which robi domingo and another guy won). as we headed towards marks and spencer, there was a throng shrieking their lungs out.

and i was tempted to join in!

ex-pda scholars bunny and chivas were being surrounded by people who wanted their photos taken. my gosh! that couple is an uber-good looking one! they LOOKED like stars! i wanted to kidnap chivas for just 24 hours - and return him to his rightful owner after. LOL

little did i know that there was an even bigger crowd behind the couple. and rightfully so! the gigolo from cebu, sexy "it" boy, VAN ROXAS was also there. ohmygod. i almost fell off my stiletto heels. tee hee. what a cutesy! i was ready to kidnap him as well - but for 72 hours before returning him back to his mommy dearest! LOL


i sort of expected bunny and chivas to carry brown bags with them. they seem to have an affinity to brown bags. tee hee

who wants to be a VJ?

robi, don't bite your lips. you can bite mine instead... LOL

i've always considered vj'ing as a total waste of energy. look where it got heart evangelista. from a bubbly squeaky clean imaged lass to "ay ayeng". hihi

she's lucky though, she's very pretty - and talented! plus she has annabelle rama as manager, doesn't she?

then i turned into myx. as it turns out, this music station is fielding a vj search. who do i find as one of the hopefuls? cute and cuddly robi domingo of pbb teen edition - looking deliciously handsome as ever!

i mean, really now, with 30% of text votes deciding for the winners, the cute mr. domingo is already a shoo in - and i can't wait to see him spout his incomprehensibles and his look-at-me-i'm-a-hip-funny-boy antics.

to the myx people: get on with the search fast. i can't wait to oogle at robi. he just makes me blush.
