Asian HeatWave: Luis Alandy

The young Filipino television and movie actor Luis Alandy is not only strikingly handsome, sweet and now hunky, but is also down-to-earth and intelligent.

At 25, Luis has already appeared in several ABS-CBN television series, in a few movies, and has been busy with the just concluded hit stage play “All About Men, Part II”. Not only that, Luis is also a member of the all-male singing group “Barako Boys”.


Luis first ventured into showbiz in 1998 at the age of 18 when he auditioned and was accepted at the GMA-7 television network. In 2000, he switched to the rival network ABS-CBN, and has been there ever since.

The middle child of a family of three brothers and one sister, Luis grew up in a comfortably middle class family in Antipolo, Rizal, after being born at St. Luke’s Hospital in Quezon City on Feb. 7, 1980. Luis was not spoiled by many maids and nannies while growing up, as his mother even had to work to help support the family when he was a child.

He later studied psychology at San Sebastian College, but dropped out in his third year to try his luck in show business.“I love the hardships of acting,” Luis says when I ask what attracted him to becoming an actor.He is also a passionate defender of Philippine cinema, which after a period of decline is, in his opinion, experiencing a rebirth with the advent of digital cinematography.

He recently starred in a digital film called “Tuli” (Circumcision) along with Desiree del Valle, Carlo Aquino and Vanna Garcia. The film, directed by Auraeus Solito, won best local film and local director awards at the 7th International Film Festival in Manila last October. Despite tabloid rumors that he has split up with his girlfriend Desiree del Valle, Luis says that they are still together despite not having the time to see each other every day.
“We’re both career oriented, and with the schedule I have I rarely see her. But I talk to her on the phone,” said Luis.After joining the “Barako Boys” group, which recently released their first album of songs under BMG Records, Luis began working out religiously three times a week to turn his body that originally looked like the one of a boy next door, into the hunk that he is now.

But don’t get Luis wrong. He’s not a spendthrift. Instead, he’s saving up his paychecks to buy a housing lot in Antipolo and to pay off an educational plan for his future child. “I want to get married in my thirties and have 2-3 kids,” said Luis.And I have no doubt that he will.

He confessed that in his eight years in show- business, he experienced being at the bottom of the wheel. He remembered contemplating if he will land TV or movie projects because of competition becoming stiffer with the emergence of newer actors.

Studied at San Sebastian College (Philippines) and AMA Computer College-East Rizal (Philippines).

Buffed up his body for Bench underwear fashion shows, and for the musical revue “Penis Talks (2004).”

Personal quotes

“At first, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to pull it through. But with my determination to do well in the play, I just considered it a challenge. I found it to be very difficult especially since I didn’t know where to get the motivation because I have yet to meet in person a child who was a victim of molestation. I only got to know about real-life situations like that on TV and reading about it in the papers. But the hardest was playing the father because I was just there sitting down and yet I had to act and look really vicious.” - Interviewed about his significant 3-role performance in the 2004 musical revue “Penis Talks.”

Paul Gomez is one of the top male models of the Philippines today. However, his success may be attributed to his joining the Mossimo Bikini Contests, twice.

Asian HeatWave: Rafael Rosell IV

Rafael Rossel IV is half-Filipino, half-Norwegian. His smiling face and sculpted body was initially be seen in ” Bikini Open,” a sex comedy tarring Diana Zubiri.

“I arrived in 2001 and spoke no Tagalog. I’m proud to say I speak it fluently in my upcoming movie,” says Rafael.

“My first big break was a Close-Up toothpaste commercial,” he recalled. “Then I joined ABS-CBN’s Star Circle Batch 9 with Michelle Bayle and Luis Alandy. My first movie was ’Kung Ikaw ay Isang Panaginip’ with Jolina Magdangal for Star Cinema.”

He is the eldest in a brood of three, all boys. His family lives in Abu Dhabi but visits Rafael often in his rented studio near the ABS-CBN compound. He says they are all very supportive of his career.

“My best experience in acting was the teleserye ‘Marina,’ where I played the mortal boyfriend of Gretchen Baretto. I came in on Week 8, and I initially felt like an outsider,” he recounts.

“My father taught us to follow our dreams. I guess I am living that dream right now, ” says Rafael. What would he like to do next? “I would love to host a beauty pageant and have a talk show,” he says.

To stay in shape, and because he loves sisig and adobo, Rafael says he has to work out four times a week.

Outside of show biz, he manages a jewelry line called Glisk. He likes being in business. “Math was my favorite subject in college,” he explains. “I love numbers.”







Presently, Rafael in part of the newest fantasy/epic series of ABS CBN, "Rounin." Definitely, Rafael Rosell is one of the hottest figure in the Philippine you must not miss.

gluteus maximus

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that 25 percent of "buttock implants" were performed on men as were 8 percent of "buttock lifts". This goes to show that there is an increasing trend among men for surgical methods to modify their bodies. In the Philippines, Belo Medical Clinic introduced the "buttock lift" last year, with actor-model John Estrada as prototype. Too bad, Belo did not put up John Estrada's billboards along EDSA, with his new enhanced and perky buttocks. Bummer.

Okay, I must also admit I just wanted to share with you Ido Victor's gluteus maximus.

Asian HeatWave: Joe Vince Canizares

Hair Color: Light Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Shoe size: 11 ½
Height: 6’0”
Sign: Sagittarius
Body Type: Muscular

Joevince Canizares is a familiar face. He has appeared in several print ads and tv commercials. His look changes whenever he sports a different hairstyle so it is quite difficult to recognize him in every ad he appears in. The hottest among his print ads is his underwear ad for Penshoppe (the lady librarian’s fantasy scene where all the guys in the library are only in their underwear). This is one hot Cebuano.

If he is not playing flag football or basketball, you can be sure to spot this gorgeous guy in the hottest nightspots. He’s sweet too—calls up his girl any time of he day just to let her know he’s thinking of her (Aww!). Get his blood pumping by wearing deceivingly conservative clothes yet still oozing with sexiness and sensuality.

sizzling.

Note:

I First saw this Guy in a brochure of "Natasha" - On Brief. And Mantra told me that he is sitting right beside JoeVince back in school when he is still studying in Cebu.

Six Pack

In a recent study by the North American Association for the Study of Obesity, it was declared that waist circumference is more conclusive than either weight or body-mass index [BMI] as a measure of disease risk. Miami cardiologist Arthur Agatston, MD, author of the South Beach Diet supports this research by saying that: "Abdominal fat is different and more dangerous than fat elsewhere. Unlike fat directly under the skin, belly fat, which adheres to organs, is associated with increases in C-reactive protein [CRP] and other markers of inflammation that can lead to heart disease."

"work it out, carlo."

So guys, other than working your abs to flaunt in the beach every summer, there is a more scientific and healthful reason for doing it.

Say, your life depends on it.

Beautiful Jake Cuenca

I was in Tri Noma yesterday to buy some new clothes and some new under garments (I have a fetish on undergarment - i collect them, wear and shoot a self portrait and do my on "brief encounter" series lolz).

Passing by Bench where I usually shop for undergarments, I saw the ramp is on stage - "Maybe its for the new model search of bench," i mumured to myself. So I care not and decided to pursue what i planned to do, get the stuff i need and be on my usual way.

Then, Bang! Jake Cuenca, Diether Ocampo and Rafel Rosell in the store, preparing for the modelling stint. (All Three has been previously featured in my Asian HeatWave Series, so check them Out!)

But I really have this Big Crush for Jake Cuenca! and Darn he is really cuter with that short hair. Im bit disappointed about his height though but nonetheless, his eyes and smile is exuding with sexiness in the store that day. Especially, when he grooves sexily with the music background as he waits for his turn.

Well, i dont know i guess i am really mesmerize that day with him and i think he notice that i am staring with a dirty looks in my eye... He did stare back - eye contact and flirt with me with a smile. I am concious guys, I maybe mesmerized BUT I am not hallucinating, I know he throw that smile! lolz!

He has been humored to be a bisexual. Hmmmm.... I wonder...c",)

Anyway, here are some pictures of Jake, well not actually from yesterday stint. I guess I was really too busy admiring him that I even forgot to bring out my camera. lolz

sizzling as the scourging sun!

Asian HeatWave: Carlos Concepcion

Height: 5′8″

Weight: 140 lbs.

Occupation: Model, Designer

Known for: being a member of SOP’s Take Five and finalist of Mossimo Bikini Summit 2005


This is how Carlos describes himself:


“I’m Carlos Concepcion—I enjoy swimming and reading and I want to be an entrepreneur and a television host someday. So patiently, I’m waiting and working hard for that break. I think my edge is my faith and my determination to succeed—and you know the secret to my charm—a little dash of humour—for me to enjoy every ride—and really spend my youth with clean fun!”






This young heir to the RFM Corporation is needless to say one hot stud. I have seen him in person in Gold’s Gym before and wow, he is really cute and hunky.

I am just puzzled why this guy is joining bikini competitions if he can enter showbiz without exerting much effort?

He even dared to bare almost everything in one of the photoshoots he did. (Check it out below) Well, it’s a good thing he made a decision to flaunt his flawless body for us to enjoy.

Asian HeatWave: Jung Ji Hoon

Name: Bi aka Rain
Real name: Jung Ji-hoon

Date of birth: June 25, 1982.
Physical stats: 184 cm in height, 74 kg in weight
Blood Type: O

Hobby: Movies, music, collecting shoes and clothes
Special skills: Sing, dancing, acting

Jung Ji Hoon, born on the 25th of June 1982 is a well known actor and singer in South Korea.. He uses his stage name, Bi (pronounced: “Bee” which means Rain in Korean), when he performs as a singer and dancer. His real name is Jung Ji Hoon, which he uses when he performs as an actor. His surname is Jung and his given name is Ji Hoon (also spelled as Ji Hun)

He discovered his passion for dancing ever since he was in the 6th grade. As a teenager, he was part of the boyband group called “fanclub” and years after the group ended, Park Jin Young (Korean producer/singer who worked with American singers Will Smith, Mase, Lil’ Kim, 3LW, Tyrese) took Bi under his wings after he auditioned for JYP entertainment and trained him for years in dancing and singing. Bi was a back-dancer for a famous Korean singer named Park Ji Yoon and Park Jin Young himself. During those training years, Bi was not at home much and would lie to his parents telling them he was gonna study in the library while in fact he went to the dance studio. He struggled financially and at times had to go without meals. Nevertheless, he continued to focus on his dance and singing even though he was anxiously waiting for his debut.

It can be said that this latent passion for excellence is what made Bi what he is today. And Bi has great potential for further development because he always tries his best to sharpen his current skills through ceaseless practice. He is truly a believer in the saying, "Opportunity visits those who make great efforts." There is no doubt that Bi will reach beyond Asia to become a global star someday because of his enormous talent and tireless work ethic. The success he achieved through his hard work is a promise that he made to his late mother.
