Home Alone

Dear Mouse,

I had my laptop reformatted. The files are all gone. It's not due to virus. I deleted something when I was reorganizing my file. The articles I have written for my week's blogs are all erased. So are the pics of the cats. Bohooohoo.

My TFC was also down yesterday,so I watched the story about the rise and fall of the 70's most popular TV three-lady detective- series---Charlies'Angels.

I learned the ff:

1. The former title chosen was ALLEY CATS. Kate Jackson suggested Charlie's Angels.

2. Its popularity was due to Farrah-Fawcett Majors, the wife of the bionic man-Lee Majors.

3. Aaron Spelling was able to build his mansion because of the TV series.

4. Kate Jackson never agreed to be exploited as a sexy/no-brainer/star.

5. Cheryl Ladd replaced Farrah.

Farrah who used to be famous as a beauty and award winning star is now a struggling artist with many horrible cosmetic surgeries.

That was a star of the 70's.

Not too long ago, we came to love a tot who was left behind by the vacationing family...Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone.

I found the name funny because in the Bicol region, it means, makausap.

Little did we know that he appeared in the New York stage at the age of four and was trained in a school of American ballet.

He became a commercial model in TV and later on his name became a by-word due to his Home Alone.

He was regarded as the Shirley Temple of the 90's.

Indeed he is.Just like Shirley,he married at a very young age with Rachel Miner. Just like Shirley Temple, he had a hard time dealing with awkward transition from a child performer to an adult actor.(Got a book about Shirley Temple that I gave to a friend's mom).

He was arrested with illegal drugs possession.

In the local entertainment, Yspeak first edition, the issue between education and movie career was tackled by the panelists.

Excuse me pero gusto kong sampalin yong Mystica doon. Sigaw ng sigaw.Tama ang sinabi ni Arnel Ignacio, "Kaya tayo magulang ay mas matanda sa ating mga anak ay dahil sa tayo ang magga-gabay sa kanila sa tama o mali.

At si Tuesday naman ay ang, "Ang edukasyon lang ang maipapamana sa akin ng aking magulang."

Sa aking pag reresearch ng mga old movie stars(burado lahat ang file na ginawa ko). aking nalaman na si Perla Adea at Romy Mallari--mga kasabay nina Nora Aunor at Tiro ay nagkaroon ng mga anak na lahat ay tapos na ng College.

Siguro kung tatanungin kung sino ang mas succesful sa buhay despite sa success ni Nora at sa perang kaniyang kinamal,mas masasabing mas maganda pa ang buhay ng dalawa niyang kasabay na nagtapos din sa kolehiyo.

Itatanong ninyo bakit artista ang mga topic ko?

Ang ekonomiya,pulitika at pag-aartista ay kailanman hindi magkakahiwalay.

Sabi nga ni Aaron Spelling, our viewers are poor,this fantasy makes them forget their misery even for just thirty minutes.

Kaya si Imelda noon,itinayo ang film center para sa mg FFF films, tinawag nilang experimental cinema. Sa bulgar na salita ay mga bomba movies upang makalimutan ng mga tao ang paghihirap.
