Jerry Yan, nabighani kay Frencheska!
Jerry Yan, nabighani kay Frencheska!
Ni ABU TILAMZIK
Excited naman si Frencheska Farr sa pagkukuwento sa amin sa Party Pilipinas kahapon na very memorable daw sa kanya ang karanasan niya sa pagtanggap niya ng Asian Female Model Award sa Seoul, Korea nu’ng nakaraang linggo.
Sa Pilipinas ay sila nga ni Aljur ang binigyan ng modeling award na iyun at tuwang-tuwa itong nakasabay raw niya sa event na iyun ang Chinovela actors na sina Jerry Yan at si Cholo ng Stairway to Heaven.
Pinakanta raw kasi si Francheska sa modeling competition at kahit hindi raw nila naintindihan ang kinanta ay nagustuhan daw ito ng mga nandu’n lalo na ang mga Koreano na sumabay-sabay pa sa pag-indak habang kumakanta ito.
Medyo mailap nga raw si Jerry Yan sa mga gustong magpalitrato pero nang hinabol daw ito ni Frencheska at nagpakilalang isa siyang Pinay ay kaagad na nagpalitrato raw itong sikat na Taiwanese actor.
Kuwento ni Aljur sa amin, ang tagal daw na nakatitig si Jerry kay Frencheska at parang nabighani nga raw ito sa ganda ng young singer/actress pero nahihiya naman si Frencheska na pag-usapan iyun.
Basta ang importante nakapagpa-picture daw siya kay Jerry Yan.
Nagpapasalamat si Frencheska sa GMA 7 at higit sa lahat kay Ms. Ida Henares dahil sa magandang break na naibigay sa kanya at nakuha pa niya ang award na iyun sa Korea.
May isinali rin pala ang GMA Artists Center sa modeling competition na iyun. Si Suzuki Sadatsugu ang isinali sa mga male models at nakakuha raw ito ng Mr. Congeniality award.

EMAIL ito ng isang avid reader ng Abante Tonite na hindi namin puwedeng deadmahin. Sure ako na kahit kayo ay mag-iisip once na mabasa niyo ang email na ito ni Mirasol De Guzman (teachermirasol@yahoo.com.ph).
Dear Tito Alfie,
“Avid reader ako ng Abante eversince, simula pa lamang mabuo ang troika ninyo nina Ka Oskee at Atty. Billy. Ang Abante ang para sa akin ay may credibility pagdating sa entertainment news dahil sa inyo.
“Hindi ko po alam ang email ad ninyo kaya naisipan kong mag-email sa Abante sana ay makarating sa inyo at mailathala ninyo para mabasa worldwide. Nagtataka kasi ako sa National Rating daw ng TNS na obvious na ang ABS-CBN ang nagbabayad.
“Lagi na lang napag-iiwanan ang TV shows ng GMA 7 lalo na ang Darna, Stairway to Heaven at noon ang Zorro. Halata po na may padding na nangyayari na pakana ng mga taga-ABS CBN just to please Mr. Gabby Lopez.
“Kung totoo ang rating nila bakit ang Ruffa & Ai ay natigok? (Huwag sana ma-offend si Annabelle Rama, waray din ako at gusto ko sina Ruffa at Richard). Simula pa lamang mag-air ang Ruffa & Ai lagi na itong panalo sa rating ng TNS against SiS noon.
“Eh, may top-rated bang matitigok sa ere? So, dinadaya ba nila ang rating nila? They tried to misled the public by saying nationwide ang rating nila gayung Visayas-Mindanao lang ang coverage nito na may 25% audience share kasi wala namang may TV sa mga isla at bundok doon.
“Unlike sa AGB rating, kahit Mega-Manila/Luzon lang ito ay 75% naman ang audience share kasi kahit taga-squatter area ay may TV set. Bakit hindi ilabas ng TNS ang Mega-Manila/Luzon rating nila?
“Sa ABS CBN ay mga show lang naman talaga ni Juday sa primetime ang pinapanood, kaya dapat ibalik siya sa primetime dahil siya ang tunay na reyna ng primetime at nagpayaman sa ABS CBN.
“Kaya dapat maging alerto si Mr. Lopez sa mga executives niya na pinapaniwala siya na top rated ang show nila at blockbuster ang mga pelikula nila, baka magising na lang siya isang araw na sa statistics may milyones pa ang kanyang kumpanya pero pagdating sa cash on hand at savings, puro singko na pala ang nakadeposito.
More Power, Alfie -- Mirasol.

Naku Mirasol de Guzman, ako man ay nagtataka rin kung bakit magkaiba ang survey ng dalawang ratings body na tila PMPC at Enpress Awards na may kanya-kanyang manok at paborito.
Amused lang ako kapag ang Kantar national rating, ang “24 Oras” ng GMA7 ay swak din sa numero nitong 24% lang while ‘yung katapat ay more than 30% sa taas at ang “Willing Willie” ni Willie Revillame ay ewan ko kung willing tanggapin ang ratings na binibigay dito na 9% lang!

3 good reasons to make the first move
When my friend Stuart was a teenager, he and his friend were on a mission to find some fireworks. They stumbled into a convenience store where Stuart found himself face to face with a young and attractive clerk. Stuart then meekly inquired, “Do you have any firecrackers here?” The young woman, he recalls, scanned him from head to toe in a slow once-over and then breathily replied, “Just me, honey.”
Shy and flustered, Stuart admits he left the store that day pretty darn fast, but also confesses that most of his relationships throughout his life have been initiated by women because, as he tells it, he’s a “chicken” when it comes to making the first move. While I rather admire the nervy convenience store clerk, I tend to be a little more like Catherine, a 41-year-old nurse who was taught that nice girls don’t make the first move. Two years ago, Catherine decided to challenge the rules she grew up with and contacted a guy on Match.com whose profile caught her eye.
“This was a biggie for me,” Catherine says, “after being raised by a Catholic ex-Marine with four daughters who always said guys will think you are easy if you call them. Of course, he refused to let us pierce our ears or wear makeup because he wasn’t, after all, ‘raising a bunch of harlots.’” Today, she’s still going strong with the man with the intriguing profile. All good-girl Catherine needed to do was take a chance and break out of her ingrained (but outdated) patterns concerning dating stereotypes.

Like Catherine, many women have decided they’re not interested in waiting around and have realized that there are a lot of good reasons why a man might not be making the first move. Here are a few possibilities to consider:
1. He’s not so good at flirting
You might think of it this way: there’s one set of skills that are crucial for initiating relationships (flirting, for example), and there’s a completely separate set of skills for sustaining an established relationship. The man you’re interested in could be very skilled at sustaining a relationship, but have no clue when it comes flirting (and if you think about it, a guy like this might be a very good catch). Remember my friend, Stuart? He belongs to the latter category. “I’ve made the first move a couple of times,” Stuart says, “and they’ve been disasters. One previous girlfriend noted that I have zero flirting skills, which is what most people use to judge the terrain before making a move. Because I just lumber in, it’s usually a disaster. So almost all of my, uh, dates have been initiated by the woman or have been low-risk setups.”
2. He’s just a wee bit intimidated
Remember that annoying “Out of your league” expression? As in, “Don’t even try it, man. She’s waaaaaaaaay out of your league.” Well, as silly as that sort of thinking is to us now that we’re grown, it can linger on in some men’s brains and create confidence-crushing fantasies, such as this one: 1) Glance at beautiful woman; 2) Wonder momentarily if maybe, just maybe, she’d… 3) Have fantasy brutally interrupted by memory of “frenemy” (think Reggie from the Archie comic books or Iago from Othello) jeering: “Forget about it, man. She’s waaaaaay outta your...” and scene. Some fantasy, right?
In fact, I think this is exactly what may have happened to Sara’s future husband, Tom. At the time — some 15 years ago now — Sara and Tom were both working as promoters in the music industry. “People at radio stations all around the country would say to me, in a sing-song voice, ‘Somebody liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes you!’” says Sara, now a 44-year-old psychotherapist. “It actually began to annoy me, because I felt that if he liked me so much he should let me know. I refused to make the next move because I thought the whole thing smacked of high school.”
But when Tom did finally work up the nerve to call Sara, her roommate told him she was in Santa Fe for the weekend. Tom then conjured up the idea that if a beautiful woman like Sara were in Santa Fe, she must be there on a romantic weekend with a boyfriend. So, intimidated and discouraged, Tom decided not to ask Sara out. A year later when Sara spotted Tom at a party, she decided to make the first move. “Are you ever going to ask me out?” asked Sara. “I will now,” Tom replied. And he did. They’ve been married for 15 years.
3. He’s been treated badly in past relationships
Maybe you’re a bit like Sara and you’re thinking, “If he likes me so much, surely he can ask me out!” But before you dismiss him on the grounds of “not stepping up to the plate,” stop to consider what he’s been through. A painful, recent rejection — a long relationship ending suddenly against his wishes, perhaps — might be one reason why he’s hesitant to put himself on the line.
Sometimes, making “the first move” doesn’t even mean asking the guy out. It can be as easy as taking the conversation with an acquaintance to the next level by turning it from what’s happening in the news to what’s happening over the weekend. As Sara recalls, “It worked out well, my making the first move, but there was a lot of groundwork to be put down beforehand that helped me make that move a little bit easier.”

What’s America’s Gayest City?
What’s America’s Gayest City?
Pride_Getty11 Anyone who thinks New York, Los Angeles, or San Francisco is the queerest place in the U.S. should brace himself for a shock. The Advocate’s research team “took a number of signifiers of gay-friendliness”—including elected openly gay officials, gay-friendly religious congregations, and, ahem, number of Gay.com profiles — for each city, assigned points for each signifier, added them, and divided the scores by the city’s population to arrive at the per capita homosexuality.
The Advocate calls this method a “completely unscientific — but still strangely accurate — statistical equation.” The publication says its list “demonstrates that the homosexual agenda is spreading across the 50 states — from Washington, D.C., to Vancouver, Wash. — and especially, it seems, in the heartland. Like it or not, America, LGBT is more a part of the USA than ever before.”
Is your city on the list?
Img_2832 15. Miami
The Florida metropolis “has finally graduated from party town to something more sophisticated.” But adds, “Thankfully, there are still hordes of hot tanned and toned guys cruising South Beach.”
14. Oakland, Calif.
Since “San Francisco’s too pricy for most of the middle class—including artists and the funky gays—Oakland has become the Brooklyn of the West Coast.”
13. Denver
With its new Gay and Lesbian Center, its gay state senator, Pat Steadman, and its newly appointed gay supreme court justice, Monica Marquez,” the “Mile High city” exemplifies that equality is inevitable—and hard fought.
12. Cleveland
As host of the 2014 Gay Games, the Ohio city “is about to become a major gay destination.
11. San Francisco
Dubbed “the gay daddy of American cities” with “the gay-friendliest straight mayor in history, Gavin Newsom.”
10. St. Louis
The “Gateway City” is the “open-minded heart of the Midwest,” and while “Anheuser-Busch just made a cash donation to the gay and lesbian centric Gateway Business Guild” it’s “last October’s First Annual Trans Family Picnic, put on by local advocacy group TransHaven …that most signals how St. Louis has become a welcoming city for queer folk.”
Seattle-gay-lesbian-transgendered-pride-parade 9. Seattle
The birthplace of grunge music “has always had a creative, fun gay scene,” plus this is where “the graceful and hip Ace Hotel chain got its start. It’s where The Stranger hosts its yearly homemade porn film festival. It’s the home of gay spokesman Dan Savage, founder of the It Gets Better Project.”
8. Washington, D.C.
The U.S. capital’s “large thumpy dance clubs like Town, which periodically hosts variety shows by LGBT troupe Crack and monthly nights have cropped up all over the city, such as Taint” and also notes “the gay center of the city has migrated east from Dupont Circle to Logan Circle.”
7. Atlanta
The Georgia capital ”is awash in burgeoning gayborhoods, from business district Candler Park and eclectic East Atlantic Village to the tree-lined Virginia Highland area, where residents elected the lesbian Councilmember, Anne Fauver.”
6. Vancouver, Wash.
“A lot of those groovy gay and lesbian Portlanders are mellowing out and coming here to settle down. The city of around 165,000 has six gay-friendly churches, and its Skyview High School has a student-led gay-straight alliance.”
5. Pittsburgh
The Pennsylvania city is “the historic home of daddy Andy Warhol, mommy Gertrude Stein, and cool lezzie aunt Willa Cather.” Also note that gay and lesbian people “are taking advantage of the bargain housing prices in this beautiful, cleaned-up urban landscape.”
Vegas01 4. Orlando, Fla.
The Advocate writes that the home of Disney World “is coming out as a hotspot for gay and lesbian life and a hotbed of progressive attitudes. Last November, when Orange County leaders voted 6-1 to add sexual orientation protections to its private-sector anti-discrimination law, not a single resident or religious organization opposed it.”
3. Las Vegas
Besides “dozens of flashy shows every night,” being the “home of Siegfried and Roy,” and “the setting of the campiest film ever made (Showgirls),” Sin City is “the top destination for American lesbians, as well as the number two destination for American gay men and gay seniors (after New York City).”
2. Santa Fe, N.M.
“This is where seasoned gays come to center themselves, but not in a boring way: LGBT retirement community RainbowVision has raucous drag shows at the Silver Starlight Lounge. Not only is Santa Fe home to plenty of body workers, reiki practitioners, and shaman-type hippie gays, it also has the most restaurants per capita of any city in the country and boasts the third largest art market.”
And the winner is...
Pride_Getty1 1. Minneapolis
Simply put, “Minneapolis has become the gay magnet city of the Midwest. …People here are no-nonsense, practical, and don’t deal well with hypocrites. This is where the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America took a historic leap forward and voted to accept gay and lesbian pastors, including the Rev. Mary Albing, the denomination’s first openly lesbian pastor. And Minnesota senator Al Franken introduced the Student Non-Discrimination Act to protect LGBT youth from school bullies.”
Pride_Getty11 Anyone who thinks New York, Los Angeles, or San Francisco is the queerest place in the U.S. should brace himself for a shock. The Advocate’s research team “took a number of signifiers of gay-friendliness”—including elected openly gay officials, gay-friendly religious congregations, and, ahem, number of Gay.com profiles — for each city, assigned points for each signifier, added them, and divided the scores by the city’s population to arrive at the per capita homosexuality.
The Advocate calls this method a “completely unscientific — but still strangely accurate — statistical equation.” The publication says its list “demonstrates that the homosexual agenda is spreading across the 50 states — from Washington, D.C., to Vancouver, Wash. — and especially, it seems, in the heartland. Like it or not, America, LGBT is more a part of the USA than ever before.”
Is your city on the list?
Img_2832 15. Miami
The Florida metropolis “has finally graduated from party town to something more sophisticated.” But adds, “Thankfully, there are still hordes of hot tanned and toned guys cruising South Beach.”
14. Oakland, Calif.
Since “San Francisco’s too pricy for most of the middle class—including artists and the funky gays—Oakland has become the Brooklyn of the West Coast.”
13. Denver
With its new Gay and Lesbian Center, its gay state senator, Pat Steadman, and its newly appointed gay supreme court justice, Monica Marquez,” the “Mile High city” exemplifies that equality is inevitable—and hard fought.
12. Cleveland
As host of the 2014 Gay Games, the Ohio city “is about to become a major gay destination.
11. San Francisco
Dubbed “the gay daddy of American cities” with “the gay-friendliest straight mayor in history, Gavin Newsom.”
10. St. Louis
The “Gateway City” is the “open-minded heart of the Midwest,” and while “Anheuser-Busch just made a cash donation to the gay and lesbian centric Gateway Business Guild” it’s “last October’s First Annual Trans Family Picnic, put on by local advocacy group TransHaven …that most signals how St. Louis has become a welcoming city for queer folk.”
Seattle-gay-lesbian-transgendered-pride-parade 9. Seattle
The birthplace of grunge music “has always had a creative, fun gay scene,” plus this is where “the graceful and hip Ace Hotel chain got its start. It’s where The Stranger hosts its yearly homemade porn film festival. It’s the home of gay spokesman Dan Savage, founder of the It Gets Better Project.”
8. Washington, D.C.
The U.S. capital’s “large thumpy dance clubs like Town, which periodically hosts variety shows by LGBT troupe Crack and monthly nights have cropped up all over the city, such as Taint” and also notes “the gay center of the city has migrated east from Dupont Circle to Logan Circle.”
7. Atlanta
The Georgia capital ”is awash in burgeoning gayborhoods, from business district Candler Park and eclectic East Atlantic Village to the tree-lined Virginia Highland area, where residents elected the lesbian Councilmember, Anne Fauver.”
6. Vancouver, Wash.
“A lot of those groovy gay and lesbian Portlanders are mellowing out and coming here to settle down. The city of around 165,000 has six gay-friendly churches, and its Skyview High School has a student-led gay-straight alliance.”
5. Pittsburgh
The Pennsylvania city is “the historic home of daddy Andy Warhol, mommy Gertrude Stein, and cool lezzie aunt Willa Cather.” Also note that gay and lesbian people “are taking advantage of the bargain housing prices in this beautiful, cleaned-up urban landscape.”
