Wednesday, April 30, 2003 Someone I AdmireI thought of how she is doing nowadays and Vikki told us that she is in TFC so I searched online to learn more about what she is doing. Here is what I gathered and this is for everyone that misses her voice , and her friendliness and charm . I used to hear her on 103.5 K-Lite but due to certain circumstances she resigned. I am just glad she found another place at the TFC Channel. If only we could watch her on t.v. Anyway, here is the article: MONICA FIGUERAS  Monica Figueras
Monica Figueras, more popularly known as "Mano," has extensive exposure to different kinds of music. Although she finished Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Science at Maryknoll College in the Philippines, her field of expertise is broadcasting particularly music programming, radio show scripting and production. This former DWRR DJ's vast experience in radio and events hosting made her adept in conducting artist interviews and news reading. Now she explores new ground as she joins fellow Video Jock Gabe Mercado in running through what Pinoy Central TV's got to offer 24 hours a day ! And here is something I wrote almost 3 years ago for Manonica ( gosh, I can't believe its been that long!) It is cheesy so feel free not read it. =) The Lady From Another Room (can't think of another title eh) I have seen a night of countless stars, breathtaking and eye-catching. But the longer I look at them, the more I realize their beauty couldn't stretch on forever. Here today, gone tomorrow. They just shine so amazingly bright that I can't help but wonder what would be left of them tomorrow�and the days after From where I stand, I know I am not as near to the stars as the others who live in mansions on the mountaintops but I d o believe I get the best view of all. Not too close and yet not too far. With this, I can look at them with awe without being blinded and losing my senses. They say stars have a purpose in one's life. I have found mine. Stars, more than their aesthetic values, are wonderful because they make me realize my meager but nevertheless important eXistenZ . After all, it is to people like me looking for her direction in life that they shine for, right? Stars don't shine mainly for the brave. They don't shine mainly for the ones on a straight narrow path. It is for someone like me, in search of her own haven in this world, that stars do what they are createdfor. However, in my understanding of the stars' mammoth role in my climb to the top, there are only a few people who manage to help me survive till I get there. People who ride me with me and journey with me through life's bumpy roads...these are the people who are not afraid to do little things for me and with me. They smile when I smile. They sing when I sing. They allow me to be there for them and vice versa. And there are people who simply gush and melt with me as I talk about the near-perfect species of the opposite gender that has caught my eyes. As simple as the last characteristic I mentioned maybe, it is actually not everyday when I find someone who's glad to chat with me about a guy, celebrity or not, whom we both like. Some have more energy giving me dagger looks when they find out I like the same person they like. This considering the fact that the object of our tug-of war is too busy engaging with celebrities and dealing with paparazzis. Talk about lunatic spoilsports. Very much unlike one good person I am lucky to have met. Her name is Monica. The thing is we both adore Jude Law. She "spotted" him first in the movie 'Music From Another Room' (I think), I only noticed him in 'The Talented Mr. Ripley'. However, it doesn't matter at all as to who discovered his charm first. In the first place, Jude Law is a married man (Lucky Sadie!) so I guess you can say we don't stand a chance with him. Second, he is a sophisticated British actor and we are mere star-strucked fans. But that is one similarity Monica and I are glad to share. Of course, there's no written agreement with our signatures on it that we will share Jude Law. However, it is the generous things she does that lets me know she is no 'enemy' as far as "our man" is concerned. There was one weekend when I paged her asking what is the title of the Jude Law film that will be shown on Cinemax the coming month and to my surprise she actually told me to give her a call and from our phone conversation not only did she tell me the title of the movie but also what the movie was about. And is if here kindness wasn't enough, she said she'll e-mail me all the screening schedule of the movie. She even sent me a scanned picture of Jude Law and Gretchen Mol. Then, when she found out that there is a slight problem with her e-mail address, she e-mailed me again asking if I received the Cinemax sched. she sent. I felt that my grateful heart couldn't take her kindness anymore that also gave her something. I e-mailed her and sent her an absolutely yummy picture of Jude Law too. Okay, okay, I don know that what we share isn't something so 'big' like we are best friends or something. But something tells me I found a real nice pal in her and that thing we have as little as it may seem, leaves no room for uncertainty as to the wonderful person that she is. I am not a psychic or a mind -reader but I am a feeling creature and my instinct tells me that she is a wonderful, unselfish, low-profiled person. It's just that some people wouldn't care much about sharing and giving a few minutes of their time to e-mail a person who they don't know that well, much less follow-it up and ask her if she got her e-mail. That to me is sign of a person you can rely on to help you in her own small ways. A Cinemax schedule of the movie Music From Another Room and a picture of Jude Law might not be such a big deal to others but to me it is. After all, it is the littlest of things that make up a whole. Besides, as I am writing this now, I have realized that it isn't only Jude Law that she willingly shared with me. I still remembered that instance about a month ago, when I was feeling down, how I shared with her what was bothering me. I never thought she'd reply to me and would give me her insight on my situation but she did and I felt better just knowing there was somebody who somehow understood what I was feeling right at that moment .I would be willing to go through the same confusion that the problem I confided her caused me if it means having to experience her compassion again. At a time like this when some people find it hard to even say hi as if everything about them is so priceless, you'd know why Monica and her act of kindness means so much to me. The way to self-actualization and inner peace isn't as easy as it seems so it is a blessing to have a fun, kind-hearted person like Monica to befriend. She is surely one of the people I've met that makes my journey through life worthwhile. She, and of course, Jude Law. Moonflower bloomed at 4:47 PM }

Wednesday, April 23, 2003 The Lana Langs In HistoryWhen Smallville started on television, the first thing that came to mind was, "Where is Lois Lane?" Watching those Superman movies in the 80's ( I was a young girl then), I knew no other lady in the life of the blue and red suit-clad hero (with a cape to boot) called Superman other than the queen of the Daily Planet. So, when I saw Lana Lang on t.v., I thought the people behind the show just thought of putting in a twist in the form of another sweetheart that also has the initials L.L. But upon further research, I found out that there was indeed a Lana Lang in Clark Kent's life way backwhen he was still learning how to deal with his powers in Smallville. And guess what, Anette 'O Toole ( playing Clark's mom in the tv show), was once a Lana Lang herself. That was in Superman III. Here she was back then  .
Aint she pretty? I think she is. Here are the other Lana Langs. 
The Lana on the left most part is a comic book Lana. The next one is Bunny Henning from an old Superboy television series. The next one's from Filmation's Superboy cartoon of the 1960's. To her right is, of course, Anette 'O Toole. In Superman III, Annette O'Toole took up the part as a divorced, discontented single mom. Next to Anette is Emily Procter who guested as Lana in the third season of Lois & Clark ( the one with Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain). Beside her is the current animated Lana in the Last Son of Krypton.Though not the model student her predecessors were, this girl is still smart, sassy and supportive of her Clark. That's all that matters, right? And next is Stacy Haiduk, who played Lana in the Superboy televison series. And next to her, of course , ( like I need to introduce her) is Kristin Kreuk. I think she's the only one who isn't a redhead at all. Anyway, I find Lana to be an interesting character because, for one thing, she didn't end up with Clark Kent. I mean, I was just curious as to what happened. And upon finding out more about her, I have realized Lana's a funny lady who was a pain in Superman's behind. In Filmation's Superboy cartoon of the 1960's, there was an instance when she innocently made costume jewelry out of kryptonite chunks for Clark. Despite that, Lana is said to have been very supportive of Superman's secret identity . Yup, I believe she found out about it. If you watch Smallville, you know how suspicious Lana is of Clark. So there, that's the other L.L in Superman's life. For more information, just check out Vartox's Lana Lang Page. |
