Where are they now....?

Good weekend everyone....! Allow me to test your memory today, naalala nyo pa ba ang movie na "KARATE KID"....? If you don't, let me refresh your memory again.... Okay tumalikod ka muna at nang mabatukan kita ha-ha....! Joks onli, baka busy ka lang sa kalalakwatsa nung time na yun kaya na miss mo ng 10 dozen times din he-he....!


The movie was about a young american kid who went to japan with an old karate master friend expecting to have a good time, but instead was caught in a family feud and was being bullied by the nephew of the other family.... He found himself deeply involved in a serious trouble and was left with no other choice but to fight and defend himself and his new found friends.... Ganyan lang kaikli yun he-he....! Just a summary only of course, but in the real movie you'll find yourself getting carried away, sinking, drifting, and being washed-off by each and every scene.... It was quite an explosive movie that time....

It all happened when just recently i stumbled upon an article about the japanese main girl character in that movie, and i found out that she is half filipino pala....! How come i didn't know that....?! I've seen that movie over and over for maybe about 10 dozen times but never had i stumbled on any print, television, or radio media ads saying that the girl pala in that movie na kahit bata pa ako nun ay naging crush ko pa yata ay half pinoy pala....! Anyways, that was long time ago and that only proved that i was destined to be a real astig pala ha-ha....!

The girls name is Tamlyn Tomita, daughter to a japanese father and a filipino mother.... I just wonder where those people are now and what are they being busy about in the present time....? That includes also the karate kid himself, Ralph Macchio.... While Pat Morita, Karate Kid's Mr. Miyagi, died at the age of 73 in November of 2005....

Mga kamote sa kukote lang to na gusto ko lang i-share, just curious lang about those celebrities that had suddenly vanished from the limelight.... Or were they....? Probably it was just due to a limited feed of television programs, shows, and movies shown in pinas from out side sources before that we've missed to keep-up with them.... I've also inserted here some of their photos before and the present ones....

By the way, check-out Macchio's age and compair it to the date of the karate kid's screening.... Have you noticed that during that time when he was portraying a 16 or 17 years old kid, he was actually between 24 - 25 years old already....! Unbeliebaboy....!

Masyado yatang napahaba ang entry na to a ha-ha....! Anyways, this is another category na naman so i hope in the future na may maisipan na naman akong mga lost celebrity topics para naman may maidagdag ako rito.... That's it....! Again, it's wonderful to be back blogging again....! =D

Pepe in the spotlight....

I was tagged by Redlan ages ago ha-ha....! This is a sooo late response, but better be late than never di ba....? It's called, “ In The Spotlight ” by Christy of Christy’s Coffee Break. The meme contains 12 questions and a blogger may answer all of them, or just pick the ones they like. For the complete rules and list of questions, please visit Christy’s site from the link above.... Here it goes....!


What makes your blog unique? Well, i don't find my blog UNIQUE at all, but i'm doing all my best to make it less offensive and more interesting.... That's it, i think my blog is not unique but INTERESTING ha-ha....! Anyways, let's leave that part to the readers to judge.... I don't even think that it's right to lift my own chair here ha-ha....! Kayo na lang ang bahalang humusga para dyan....!


Is this your first meme? I've lost counts on that ha-ha....! Can't remember how many, but if you'll give me a minute i can check my records for you.... There's only a couple times i guess....! One thing for sure, i enjoy responding to all of them....!


When did you start blogging? I started blogging less than a year ago just last December 2006.... There was a blog that i accidentally found on the web and since that i was frequently visiting the site and read and laughted at all the super kwela entries.... I find that blogger a so natural writer, she's a genius i reckon she is....! That prompted me to start my own too in the end.... It's fun....!


What do you hope to accomplish with your blog? I have no precise goals at all, i just find peace of mind whenever i'm opening my blog and updating or checking it at times.... It's more like a home to me that's all.... At the moment, i'm getting closer to my number 100 entry whooohooo....! There will be a party....!


What are your feelings on the "blog popularity" issue? Competition is a stress in itself.... As i've stated above, this is my peaceful home and i'll do all my best to keep it as accommodating as ever towards my readers and friends and that's all that matters to me.... No popularity issues worries me at all....


What's your favorite childhood memory? Well, it's always been the scene of a complete togetherness.... I missed those times spent with my brothers and sister as a child.... Now we'are scattered everywhere around the globe working and minding our own lives.... We seldom see or contact each other now either.... Nakakalungkot lang isipin all those memories printed in the past....


If you were stranded on a deserted island what three things would you want to have with you? That would be fun for me, survival is my favorite game....! Just give me a knife, fresh water and a genie in the lamp for the other three more wishes ha-ha....!


Are you a spiritual person? That's one of those things that i don't want to measure or discuss.... I can only tell you that i have a firm root system under my feet, a sturdy trunk, dense green leaves, bountiful sweet fruits, and plenty of flexible branches at the top that's all....! =D


What is the weirdest thing that had ever happened to you? So far i couldn't think of any weird experiences at all.... How can we describe WEIRD anyway, something uncanny or supernatural perhaps....? I think weird is the opposite side of life's wonder, as in possitive and negative terms.... We tend to make wrong judgements not once but many times in our lives, so much so that it worries us most of the time in any ways.... So i think life itself with it's daily riddles is weird enough to qualify.... Yes weird things happens to me everyday ha-ha....!


What is your worst quality? Some friends said that mapagtanim daw ako ng galit... That i tend to keep a grudge most of the time.... My answer to that is not a grudge but i'm only a fast learner.... I don't want to fall on the same spot that had cut my knees and elbows once, so i learned how to avoid it the next time.... I behave like a mirror, what you place in front of me is what you can see in the reflection.... Worthy friends enjoys my company like a bowl of honey....! I hate unfair and ridiculous people that's all....!


Who do you want to be tagged? I know i want to tag some friends but let me think about that for a while he-he....! I just got back from hiding so i'm a bit disorientated at the moment....! By the way, thanks to Redlan for tagging me....! =D
