Beki & The Bullets - There He Goes

"There he goes, I don't know why"

Beki & The Bullets are yet another fantastic Australian band, but one that's recently moved to the States. Their music is pretty similar to Sweden's Alice In Videoland or, to go back in time, Bananarama meeting Cyndi Lauper. It's very 80's new wave but in an accessible, super-neon poppy way. There He Goes is a recording from 2005, but their myspace has also got a newer song up for free download that's definitely worth checking out as well. If you're a fan of popjustice-type music, this post is for you.

Why Robi Domingo Wasn't Invited to Nicole Uysiuseng Debut

“He was sort of not invited,” Nicole Uysiuseng admitted shyly when asked why her My Girl co-star and fellow Pinoy Big Brother Teen Housemate Robi Domingo was not present during her debut last August 18. The party was organized by the group Yonics – followers of the the Nicole Uysiuseng-Josef Elizalde love team and Robi’s presence would make thing a bit awkward. But Nicole explained that she and Robi have talked about it and the young man perfectly understood the situation.

The Yonics Fans Club really went out of their way to prepare a wonderful party for Nicole. Some even flew in from Canada and Germany just to be with Nicole on her debut. “They prepared everything and they paid for everything,” beamed Nicole. “I felt really loved, I didn't expect na gagawin nila yun for me, on my 18th birthday pa. Tapos they continue to show their support and love for me by sending gifts from abroad.” She also mentioned that her and Robi’s fans – the Robicoles – will be having a separate birthday celebration for her.

Fellow housemates Nan Clenuar, Mican Ong, Beauty Gonzalez, Alex Anselmuccio, Rona Libby, Valerie Weignmann, EJ Falcon and of course Josef, were all present at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel armed with gifts and wishes for Nicole. She shared that they have all established a new-found closeness after PBB ended. “We’re better now that we’re outside, even though we don’t see each other everyday, we got closer outside and we go out as a group with the other housemates,” she said.

Meanwhile, Nicole revealed that among the best gifts she received that night came from Josef. “He gave me two dresses. They’re special because he took time to choose those. Just the time that he gave for choosing them makes them really special.”

Ploning is Philippines Entry to 2009 Oscar Awards

Ploning, a film produced by Panoramanila Pictures Co. has been chosen as the country's entry to the 2009 Oscar Awards' best foreign language film category.

The Board of Governors of the Film Academy of the Philippines approved the selection of Ploning during a meeting last Friday, August 29.

Five members of a special committee tasked to select the country's entry, which is headed by National Artist for Film Eddie Romero as chairman narrowed down the possible nominee to two films, Ploning and Caregiver. In a meeting last August 20, three members voted for Ploning and two members chose Caregiver.

The special committee members were Director Jose Carreon, secretary of the Directors Guild of the Philippines, Inc.; Director William Mayo, president of the Philippine Motion Picture Directors Association; Johnny Delgado, chairman of the Actors' Workshop Foundation; Pablo S. Gomez, president of the Screenwriters' Guild of the Philippines; and Manny Morfe, president of the Productions Designers Guild of the Philippines.

The two films were initially included in a six-film short list, which were all reviewed by the committee on August 12 and 14 at the FAP office at OctoArts Bldg. on Panay Avenue, Q.C.

Also reviewed were Tribu, a Cinemalaya festival winner and Endo. The producers of two other films—Pisay and Serbis (the Filipino entry in the last Cannes Film festival)—failed to submit a DVD or VCD copy of their films and were not reviewed by the committee.

The result of the voting was announced during the Board of Governors monthly meeting on Friday, August 29.
