Angel Locsin, to do Darna Movie in 2012

Angel Locsin, one of the hottest female stars of her generation and is currently linked with Azkals’ superstar striker Phil Younghusband, is going to play the role of “Darna,” but this time on Kapamilya network.

Angel Locsin has confirmed plans of doing another movie after In the Name of Love and that the movie could possibly be “Maalaala Mo Kaya the movie“. We could now see a possibility of Angel Locsin doing another movie – but this time it won’t be like we never saw her before.



Because Angel Locsin is said to topbill in a film adaptation or rather a movie remake of Mars Ravelo’s “Darna“.



Rumors started when Abs-cbn adprom head director Eric John Salut (@ericjohnsalut) tweeted that Abs-cbn acquired the rights of 13 Mars Ravelo titles.

“ABS-CBN acquires exclusive rights to 13 Mars Ravelo titles. Darna, Dyesebel, Jack En Jill to name a few”.



Either of the 13 titles are slated for release on tv or the big screen but one thing has to be certain – Angel Locsin has got to be billed as Narda/Darna. We want Abs-cbn’s Darna to hit the big screen. For it will definitely cause a big buzz in the local cinema.How much more if screened internationally?



Darna’s powers include flight, super strength, super speed and near-invulnerability. We believe it’s about time for a “Darna movie”, don’t you? Tell us in the comments below and spread the word for a better convo.



You might be wondering why “2012″? Well the list of 2011 pinoy movies is almost complete because of the release of the 8 official entries for the 37th metro manila film festival which will most likely drive the attention of people. A Darna movie would be great on MMFF by next year. I can’t wait!

Sharapova admitted she “kind of lost it” in the second set.

“I got away from what I was doing well and she had all the confidence and all the momentum going into the third set.”


Sharapova had said she would welcome a chance to challenge Williams. Despite the American’s unseeded status, Sharapova said she would be a difficult opponent, but then so could Kirilenko.

Tips on Choosing the Right Perfume for You

With the thousands of fragrances in the market, it can sometimes be tricky to choose the one that is perfect for your taste, personality, the occasion, and other factors. Check out the following basic tips that you may find useful when choosing and even wearing the perfect perfume for you.

1. Determine your budget.

Perfumes are priced in a very big range, from very inexpensive colognes to luxurious designer brands. Determining your budget or the money you are prepared to spend beforehand will help narrow down the choices and will save you a lot of time.

2. Know what particular smell you want and go for it.

Decide on what type of fragrance you want based on what use the perfume would be to you. For instance, is it for special occasions? Is it to please or seduce a lover? Is it for everyday wash and wear? If you plan to please someone, make sure to research on the particular fragrances he or she likes.

If you want it to be an everyday whiff you can wear to work or school, you may want to buy a lighter and fresher scent. If it’s for big parties and formal events, choose a perfume that makes a stronger impact by blending well with your body chemistry.

Other factors like the weather or season are also important to consider. For instance, if you live in a very humid setting, floral fragrances with a woody or musky base often complement the sultry weather. If you’re often surrounded by a lot of people in near proximity, don’t choose a very strong perfume because not everyone likes perfume.

Citrus, sea breeze and other herb and floral fragrances are often fresh and rejuvenating, perfect for someone always on the go. If you will be out on a date and want to heighten the romance, choose a scent that is a bit stronger but not overpowering. Usually oriental spices project confidence and sophistication. Meanwhile, aromatic blends are perfect for men who like to smell like a true man exuding with machismo and security.

3. Examine carefully before buying.

When you’ve finally narrowed down your choices and you’re ready to go to a perfume shop, don’t forget to carefully examine each perfume you fancy before getting ahead of yourself and purchasing.

Take note that your nose can only handle so much and testing 20 perfumes consecutively will prove to be futile. Before you start spraying a perfume on your wrist, spray it first on a card or paper and decide if you like it. If not, move on to the next. Once you find a scent you think is perfect, start testing it on your body. Apply a small amount on your wrist or at the back of your arm.

Sometimes the saleslady will offer to apply some in her own skin and have you smell it. This is a no-no because each of us reacts to perfumes in different ways. Make sure the perfume is perfect for you by putting it on your own skin. Wait for a few minutes because fragrances start to grow on you and smell different after a while.
