KC Concepcion on Rogue Magazine cover for January – February 2012

Charice and Jinkee Pacquiao became the cover of some of the country's leading magazines... and it had raised negativity, mostly from the netizens. This month, Rogue Magazine unveiled its January-February 2012 issue with KC Concepcion, exposing her almost perfect butt.

But in fairness to this issue, it gained positive feedback both from citizens and netizens.

KC is currently sporting a shorter hairstyle and I don't know how cutting your own hair can mend a broken heart. Hmmmmm.

And oh, is that Piolo's head? I bet it is really his head. Lol!

Say goodbye to the OA and pa-tweetums KC. Say hello to the bolder and braver (and sexier) KC!

Movie Review: Contagion

Contagion is a sci-fi drama flick that tackles how people from different walks of life struggled from an airborne native virus. Surprisingly, this movie is a star-studded one; Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Marion Cottilard and Jude Law starred this flick.Let me tell you this in a straight-forward manner: the movie didn’t impress me at all. Nadah.As a former Biology student with an extensive background in Molecular Biology and Microbiology, facts presented in the movie, like how the virus behaved and the manner it was assayed (a scientific term of analyzing a specimen) were true, except for the part wherein the Virologist/Immunologist found the vaccine in just a short period of time. It was deliberately cut short due to obvious reasons.But, Contagion really has a promising plot and style. No sarcasm intended on that statement but because there were so many characters presented in the movie, some of them didn’t have any development at all, most especially to Marion Cotillard’s role. It could have been presented better by putting some events that transpired to each main characters as the movie nears its end.And oh, the ending was really disappointing. Don’t ask me why. You just have to watch it at your own risk.

Nakakahiya!", quipped MMDA Chairman Francisco Tolentino during the interview.Filming locations include Intramuros, Rizal Park, Pasay Taft Rotonda, Marikina Public Market, Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard and Navotas Fishport were among the included filming locations for the said movie. Director Tony Gilroy had particularly opted for these locations due to its filthiness which perfectly fits the movie's plot.

We could've chosen another country if we wanted a clean environment to shoot at!", Director Gilroy explained in an interview.Sensing that they did a wrong move, MMDA would gladly return all of the trashes to its original location just to change and appease the mind of the director."Baka babalik sila pag ginawa namin iyan. Hopefully", said Tolentino.The Bourne Legacy is a story centered on a new CIA operative in the universe based on Robert Ludlum’s novels.
