I always love romantic movies and one movie that I anticipated to see this year is “The Vow” of Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams. I’m a sucker for love stories and some of my top picks are “A Walk To Remember”, “500 First Date”, “500 Days of Summer”, “While You Were Sleeping”, “Serendipity”, “City of Angels”, among others. Trailer alone, I already fell in love with “The Vow”. Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams seems perfect for the role.

But I did still check online if it’s true, and there it was, news all over the internet especially in Twitter, about Whitney Houston’s untimely death. The news is still fresh because it was a few minutes ago when it was posted at CBS and…

Last night, InterAksyon.com published a story that headlines, “Lea Salonga disses Anne Curtis’ ‘singing'” to which Lea Salonga reacted “I don’t know why TV5 drew that conclusion. But an assumption was made. There you go.” Orange Magazine TV was there at the press conference held last night (February 11) for Lea Salonga’s upcoming project for TV5 and to be fair with Lea Salonga, it is true that she did not directly attack on Anne Curtis’s singing but rather talked about off-key singers in general.
