The appeal of WHITE
IF there is such a thing as a whiter shade of pale, then that may be the direction Filipino women and, as product trends indicate, women all over the world are heading to.
Fearless
I’ll have to admit my biases here at the onset. When there’s a movie trailer with a guy whose head is shaved in the front, and then hair grown long and braided in the back, and he’s wearing kung-fu shoes, and doing flying kicks and bouncing all over the place doing roundhouses and crazy flips, you’ll probably find me in line with all the other kung-fu movie fans. Doesn’t even matter to me what the movie is about, whether it got any good reviews, none of that matters, as long as I’m getting something that has a line like, "Do you think your tiger claw can match my dragon fist?" or, "Do you wanna try my kung-fu?" and a whole lot of kung-fu action.
Art. Love. Revolution.

Food for thought
RECENTLY, Lady’s Choice, that great company that told us how mayonnaise should be, posed this question: How creative are women? And as we celebrate National Women’s Month this March, it would be nice to hear again what they have to say about the matter.
REVOLUTION ROCK
MIKE his bandmates in Dicta License, Pochoy Labog belongs to a generation weaned on grunge music. And a lot of Rage Against The Machine, which, by his own account, propelled him to write songs during his college years. Now studying to become a lawyer, he still writes songs although he must’ve realized he need not scowl, spout fiery lyrics or, most obviously, wear dreadlocks (if not tattoos and all sorts of insignias) like Zack Dela Rocha in order to get his message across.
Live Forever
IT was a trip that took us 10 long years, but was something we were destined to take. Despite the small fortune it cost us, my friends and I went on a trip that made us become school boys once again. We traveled all the way to Singapore last February to watch one of the greatest British bands since The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin.
A Gospel of Fire
IN the movie Stigmata, the rogue priest tells the Vatican investigator played by Gabriel Byrne the first lines of the secret gospel written by Jesus himself: "The Kingdom of God is inside you, and all around you. Not in buildings of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood and I am there. Lift a stone and you will find Me."
School’s Out, let’s rock!

Sometimes you’re sitting in a theater and you can’t stop from asking, "Why God? Why?" If you’re lucky, it happens in a few scenes. If you’re not so lucky, you may be asking that question for the duration of the film.
