Halos kumpleto na. Halos lahat ng mga pinakamamahal ni direk Maryo J. delos Reyes ay naroon kagabi sa unang gabi ng kanyang lamay- with the exceptions of Cong. Yul Servo Nieto and the rest of the "Maryo Brothers" na dating mga male talents ni direk Maryo (ewan lang namin kung dumating pa sila nung umalis kami around 12 midnight kagabi).

Sunshine Dizon, Rocco Nacino, directors Joel Lamangan, Mac Alejandre, Mel Chionglo, Frannie Zamora, Gina Alajar, scriptwriters Ricky Lee, Frank Rivera and Tom Adrales, Ali Sotto, Luz Valdez, Marichu Perez-Maceda, Bibeth Orteza, Racquel Villavicencio, Oasis of Love leaders Rez Cortez, Candy Cortez, Nita Trofeo, manager June Rufino, GMA 7 Entertainment head Ms. Lilybeth Rasonable, photographers David Fabros, Trixie Dauz and Erickson dela Cruz, theater icon Tony Mabesa, beauty queen Evangeline Pascual, Ms. Chanda Romero, Sharmaine Arnaiz, Katrina Halili, Monching Guttierez, Ms. Carmen Soriano, Lloyd Samartino, Robert Sena, Isay Alvarez, Giselle Sanchez, Dennis Padilla, fashion designer Oskar Peralta, Orlando Sol, Xyrus Khan, Bluemark Roces, Anton Bernardo, Jiennix Mehlard, Migs Cuaderno, Yogo Singh, movie scribes Jerry Olea, Mell Navarro, Roldan Castro, Throy Catan, Glenn Regondola, new actress Tori Garcia, Rafa Siguion-Reyna, JV Benito Villegas, Mike Herrera, psychic Nick Nangit, Gorgy Rula, TV Patrol's Mario Dumaual, Father Marc Ocariza, Leandro Baldemor, Jon Romano, Al Tantay, Masculados, Alvin Fortuna, Dennis Coronel, plus more, more, more... Pasensya na po duon sa mga celebrities na nawaglit sa aming isip.

Mapapansin mo, ang mga talagang closest friends ni direk Maryo J. (opo alam po naming kung sino-sino sila), sila 'yung mga tahimik na nasa isang sulok lang. Hindi sila kilos ng kilos. Nakaupo o nakatayo lang sila sa isang tabi. At mababanaag mo talaga sa mga mukha nila ang kalungkutan.

Yung mga acquaintances and ordinary friends lang ni direk Maryo, sila 'yung mga masisigla at kilos ng kilos all over the place. Okey lang 'yun dahil mas gusto ni direk, nu'ng nabubuhay pa ito, ang masasayang mga kaganapan at maski daw mamatay siya, gusto niya ay masaya pa rin ang lahat.

Kaya salamat sa mga taong 'yun dahil naalis masyado ang kalungkutan sa unang gabi ng lamay ni direk Maryo J. Kaya lang, hindi naman namin masisi yung mga taong talagang naging malapit sa puso ni direk Maryo na maging mga tahimik lang dahil sadyang inaalis pa nila ang mga lungkot at heaviness within their hearts. Hindi na po namin babanggitin ang mga pangalan ng PINAKAMAMAHAL na mga taong ito ni direk Maryo J.

Nagkaroon ng 8 p.m. Mass, Communion at Eulogy pagkatapos. Umawit ang mag-asawang Isay Alvarez at Robert Sena. Naging host naman si Dennis Padilla sa mini-program. Nakaka-touch yung isang kantahan na nangyari na kung saan ay nagsama-sama ang mga sikat na artista't singers sa tabi ng kinahihimlayan ni direk Maryo at nagsipag-awitan (nakalimutan po namin ang title ng kanta nila), at pinangunahan yun ni Ms. Carmen Soriano.

Masagana ang hapunan at midnight snack na inalay para sa lahat. Talagang nagtulong-tulong ang mga kaibigan ni direk Maryo J. sa mga paghahanda at preparasyon ng kanyang unang gabi ng lamay- lalo na ang mga miyembro ng Oasis of Love Community at ng GMA Channel 7.

Maayos, maaliwalas, hindi naman magulo at maingay. Banayad lang. Pero masaya. Kasi ganu'n nga ang gustong mangyari ni direk Maryo J. Ayaw talaga nito ng malungkot.

Pero, iiyak pa rin tayo. Mamamaga pa rin ang ating mga mata. Kapag tayo'y nag-iisa na.

DAHIL MAHAL NA MAHAL NATIN SIYA.

khiro: humahataw ang career

"We will having a REUNION CONCERT with my boyband singing group- ang BOYCE GENERATION this coming summer. Target month is April and that concert is going to be produced by Aces Productions, which is being owned by Mr. Orlando Antonio. Incidentally, Mr. Antonio is also the founder of this coming national male pageant MAN OF THE PHILIPPINES 2018", chat message sa amin ni Khiro Sparks sa isang maikli at biglaang interview.

Si Khiro ay isa sa mga official candidates din ng Face of the Year 2018 ni Jojo Veloso at isa siya sa most-loved male candidates duon dahil sa angkin niyang kabaitan and good dealings with people.

Khiro is also a singer, at 'yun nga, dati rin siyang member ng boy singing group na Boyce Generation. Sinabi niya sa itaas ang magiging reunion concert nila ng said boy singing group niya dati.

"And our group will also be performing on the Grand Finals of the Man of the Philippines. The grand finals night will be July 2018", muling sabi pa ni Khiro. Si Khiro ay guest judge and performer din bukas sa isang event sa San Dionisio in Paranaque City bukas. Wow naman, talagang humahataw ang career these days ni Khiro. Mabait na bata kasi, eh, kaya pinagpapala ng Diyos.

Basta huwag kang magbabago, Khiro. Nasa likod mo lang kami. More power to you!!!

lance raymundo: this time, in the world of pageant hosting...

lance: his promises were never broken


We've seen Lance Raymundo for more than a couple of times doing a great job as the main host of beauty pageants. And wow, he created in us a great impression of good deliverance. He worked hard and good and handled the pressures of live pageant hostings. Sometimes, even adding-up spiels and ad-libs of his own whenever there's some distractions on the script and program proper.

This time, Lance would want his main manager, no less than the main MAN of Viva Artist Agency, in person of Mr. Vic del Rosario- to see and watch him do a hosting job on the coming Face of the Year 2018 main finals night.

"If ever, it's gonna be the first time that he'll see me perform as a host", Lance said. "Boss Vic has been wanting to watch me as host- so on the coming Face of the Year, that will give him time and the chance to watch me deliver a hosting job. It's been his desire to build me up also as a host, you see.

"Since I was young, aside from dreaming of being an actor and a singer- isa na sa mga goals ko ang maging isang celebrity host- mapa-TV man or mainstream o kaya pageants. And I feel that this time, I am getting there already.

"Isa din iyan sa dream ng former manager kong si Angie Magbanua (who passed-away years ago) before. She wanted me to become a host, too", Lance continued saying. "But before she died, she was able to book me one hosting job together with Edu Manzano. I became Edu's co-host then. That experience marked in my head and Edu was so supportive of me at that time. I'm happy that time, my talent as a host is flourishing. I am getting many offers here and there as host."

As host, Lance describes the feeling this time.

"Being pressured on it makes it more challenging", he said. "It gives out the best in me. And it's refreshing. It's kinda' challenging, too. It's not an easy job, but it provokes me to do my best. That's hosting!"

Right now, Lance is into putting-up and arranging the things to be taken-in at his new Bachelor's Pad. The interior design is going to be on his own personal taste and references.

"I was inspired by the interiors of Manila House when I visited it one time. So I patterned the interiors of my pad according to the designs I saw at the Manila House. It looks like the pad of Alex Petipher- the Beastly in Beauty and the Beast."

Lance showed to us some photos of his new pad. It's so grandeur and with glasses as walls and plus, the ceilings were high. It looks very modern- with nude paintings everywhere. Great!

"Everybody's gonna see it soon", Lance told his blogger-friend again. "But definitely the first exclusive photos of my Bachelor's Pad is gonna be at Swordshines10 blog site. The personal view of my pad will first be seen at your blog site, Robert. That, I promise."

Soon, Lance will be auctioning some collections and treasures that he accidentally accumulated in the past years. He will be renting a shop and do an inventory. Those important things will soon be featured also at this blog site. 

Definitely, 2018 is gonna be a busy year for Lance!
