The Day I Got Disappointed

Super Nega post.. beware.. feel free to comment and hate me haha
"The Day I Got Disappointed"

Today, October 28, 2011, I met my long time crush, idol and obsession Mario Maurer after waiting 3 long months to see him. Today I will use the words used by iBankie "I am disappointed a bit with ohohmario." Because now I understand what he feels.

I've spent so much time bringing his name glory, promoting him, updating his fans, I've given him so much love and devotion, time of my life I will never get back. I also picked him up at the airport, stood a mere 2 feet from him, and during that first contact, nothing happened, no eye contact, nothing. I assumed something must happen at the fan conference, and yet, today, though we waited more than most of his fans, still nothing happened. He did not bother to stop and even look me in the eye, I did not hold his hand, he did not hear my plea to accept my little scrapbook as he passed me by. He seemed to be always running, even though his fans waited for him outside till it was dark.

And I noticed too that during the fan conference, I did not see the twinkle in his eye that first led me to him. His answers to questions to him might as well have been used to answer questions in China or elsewhere. They were generic and shallow. His hand tricks I've seen before, like making cute moves was just an act he used to practice in the mirror. I've seen him do the same exact "cute" moves, smirks and heart hand gestures in China, elsewhere like it was just a practice act, his smile, the whole act a job.

Also from comments of people I've heard, at least I am not alone in feeling some kind of vibe from him that is still out of tweak. Like the way he talks and answers questions; holding back, hidden insecurities, lack of self-confidence?

When I look back, I used to say that he was nice because he answered to his fans in twitter. But now when I see most of his replies, they are repetitive, bleak, and kind of contained the same words over and over again like it was from an answering machine.

It made me question does he really even care? Even Publicity Asia once said that her new "baby" knows and has potential in PR. Could it be just that?

There were too many people, haggling for attention, space, cameras ready to air your most bare moments to national television or newspapers/magazines. It was not conducive to an intimate moment with Mario.

This post might be too negative, critical, I know, but forgive me because my feelings of disappointment tonight goes with this post. It might be because of fan burn out, a defense mechanism for separation anxiety with Mario, and it might also feel like a rant post, but then, some points may be valid and might as well be an interesting read, a different frame of thought, a conversation starter, that's why I'm posting it, aside from being an outlet for my emotions.

The Hi-Ros also added to the negativity as they ridiculed the flyers I had given out. Those little demons.

On the lighter note, Mario's face is really eye candy. His face looks just the way it does in pictures, only in real life it's 3D and has shadow and stuff like that.
He looks more scrawny in real life than those Attitude Magazine shots he had, and isn't as tall as I expected.

I know, he's human too. Maybe my expectations of him as the son of Zeus are too much. Now I know.

PEX Oreos I met today are the best buddies for this fan con! Truly classic Oreos, and not Hi-Ros. Just to let you know, my classmate never found my cellphone in her bag, but that's clearly my fault =)

Ayan Brushpics isang mala nobelang post! Haha We missed you Oreos!

The REAL Reason Why Ohohmario.com Closed Down



Year 2011: Thai model turned actor Mario Maurer is now basking in superstar status, with an increasingly large number fan clubs from different countries and social networking sites. As they compete for dominance and attention, it seems that rivalries between these fan clubs are inevitable.

iBankie is the webmaster of ohohmario.com and Mario Maurer Facebook with over 200,000 likes before it closed down on October 8, 2011. Ohohmario.com is the last remaining Thai-run fan club that has its own independent webpage.

There is another fan club which is actually a private account in Facebook; facebook.com/oohmarioclub.

These 2 fan clubs, ohohmario.com and oohmario are the 2 most established Mario Maurer fan clubs in Thailand.

According to the latest tweets by iBankie, this is how it all began:

Well it started yesterday October 7, when Mario Maurer, made tweets about a private fans meeting to happen soon. Mario is apparently had little time and was very busy as it was the second day of filming of his newest drama "Love in the Market".



iBankie's tweets that day:



The following day October 8, 2011, it seems that things have reached the point of no return when iBankie tweeted:



According to him ohohmario.com is now closed for some yet undisclosed reason. This tweet was followed by a barrage of responses from Mario Maurer fans in and out of Thailand..



Finally, iBankie gave the reason WHY ohohmario.com and Mario Maurer FB had closed down..







BOTTOM LINE:


For more news about Mario Maurer, you can still follow the last official Thai fan page of Mario Maurer:

Thai is 11th Sexiest Accent in the World.. Sounds like: R-rated karaoke

World's sexiest accents
Because a foreign language can be the best aphrodisiac, we traveled the world in search of the 12 hottest accents
By Jordan Burchette 18 August, 2011

In the unending pursuit of love, or its less eternal surrogate, the right accent can be as attractive as bright eyes, a beaming smile and a parabolic backside.

For world travelers, a far-flung tongue promises the unknown, confirms the known and dispels the thought-we-knew.

Does our highly scientific survey exclude your favorite accent? Vote on our Facebook poll.

But no accent is sexy when it’s strong enough to crush a beer can. Which means not all accents are created equal.

It’s estimated that there are nearly 7,000 languages on earth. That’s nearly 7,000 different ways to traipse clumsily through the English language -- or to sex it up like a Justin Timberlake song wrapped in chocolate cleavage.

Which begs our list of the world’s sexiest brogues. Some of you may have a legitimate case for inclusion in the top twelve. Others -- we’re looking at you, Vietgermans -- do not.

Also on CNNGo: 7 sexy skinny dips

Our also-rans included Putonghua (especially when Taiwanese women speak it in gentle tones), Australian (as appealing as warm Foster's to some, tantalizingly exotic to others) and Japanese (the language of repressed salarymen is also strangely designed for pillow talk).

Feel free to state your objections and/or rain your accolades in the comments section below or on our Sexiest Accents Facebook Poll.

Because when it comes to accents, there are no absolutes. Except that Bronx English is absolutely horrible.


12. Argentine


The bad news: she finds your bad breath and dirty elbows repulsive. The good news: it sounded totally hot when she told you.

Famous tongues: Fernando Lamas, Gabriela Sabatini

A historical refuge for Spaniards, Italians and Germans, the hyper-libidinous South Ameripean melting pot of Argentina has cultivated a proud, pouty tone. With its own pronunciation of Spanish letters (“ll” sounds like “shh”) and its own words (“you” is “vos”), this is a dialect that’s hard to get. (Or at least plays that way.)

Sounds like: A tightly tuned guitar of G-strings strummed by a lamb shank

11. Thai

He not only floats like a butterfly, he speaks like one, too.

Famous tongues: Tony Jaa, Tata Young
With five tones comprising their native speech, the traffickers of this often fragile accent turn any language into a song of seduction. Thai is largely monosyllabic, so multi-beat foreign words get extra emphases right up until the last letter, which is often left off, leaving the listener wanting more. (Or at least asking “Huh?” lustfully.)

Sounds like: R-rated karaoke


10. Trinidadian


If their accents don't seduce you, their mon boobs will.

Famous tongues: Nikki Minaj, Billy Ocean
For fetishists of oddball sexuality, the Caribbean island of Trinidad offers an undulating, melodic gumbo of pan-African, French, Spanish, Creole and Hindi dialects that, when adapted for English, is sex on a pogo stick.

Sounds like: A rubber life raft bobbing on a sea of steel drums

Also on CNNGo: Asia's top 5 celeb sex scandals

9. Brazilian Portuguese



She screams, she scores!

Famous tongues: Alice Braga, Anderson Silva
Perhaps owing to its freedom from French influence, the Brazilian Portuguese accent has a more colorful, puerile flair than its coarser European counterpart. The resulting yowl of drawn-out vowels reveals a flirty freedom of spirit that sounds like a permanent vacation.

Sounds like: The near, then far, then near again hum of a low-wattage vacuum cleaner that runs on dance sweat



8. U.S. Southern



Y'all, we love it when y'all call us y'all. Especially when y'all are wearing orange chaps.

Famous tongues: Matthew McConaughy, Britney Spears
There’s nothing sexy about being in a hurry, and you could clock the growth rate of grass with the honeyed drawl -- less Tea Party, more “True Blood” -- of a Southern beau or belle.

Sounds like: Molasses taking a smoking break

Also on CNNGo: 15 unusual places to spend a night

7. Oxford British


"Down to your last pair of socks then, what?"

Famous tongues: Hugh Laurie, Sienna Miller

Authoritative. Upright. Erudite. Scholarly. Few accents promise the upward nobility of the Queen’s English. It’s a take on the language that sets hearts devoted to James Bond and Hermione Granger aflutter. And, should the speaker fail to slake your most wanton desires, eh, at least you’ll learn something.

Sounds like: A crisply ironed shirt playing a harp

6. Irish



Just lay off the leprechaun jokes and you'll be fine.

Famous tongues: Colin Farrell, Andrea Corr
Valued slightly more in men than in women, the Irish brogue is a lilting, lyrical articulation that’s charming, if not exotic. Fluid and uplifting, it can swing from vulnerable to threatening over the course of a sentence, restoring your faith in the world again … right before it stabs you with a broken bottle top.

Sounds like: A marauding pixie

Also on CNNGo: 10 epic train journeys

5. Nigerian


Some Nigerians are actually worth giving your bank account information to.

Famous tongues: King Sunny Adé, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde
Dignified, with just a hint of willful naiveté, the deep, rich “oh’s” and “eh’s” of Naija bend the English language without breaking it, arousing tremors in places other languages can’t reach. Kinda makes the occasional phone scam worth the swindle.

Sounds like: The THX intro with teeth

4. Czech



Smoky eyes? Czech. Intrguing history? Czech. Meat-flavored accent? Czech.

Famous tongues: Petra Nemcova, Jaromír Jágr
Like Russian, without the nettlesome history of brutal, iron-fisted despotism, Czech is a smoky, full-bodied vocal style that goes well with most meats. Murky and mysterious, the Bohemian tone is equal parts carnal desire and carnival roustabout.

Sounds like: Count Dracula, secret agent

3. Spanish


"¿Número tres? ¿Qué clase de idiota eres?" Ah, no one rejects us so hotly.

Famous tongues: Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz
Sensual and beckoning, but with the passion to unleash hell kept just barely restrained, Castilian is like a dialectic Hoover Dam. But then there’s the lisp. Tender, vulnerable and cute as a baby’s hangnail -- no one owns the “th” sound formed by tongue and teeth like those who speak the language of Cervantes.

Sounds Like: An outboard motor on Lake Paella

Best of CNNGo: World's coolest nationalities

2. French


Even when they pout it sounds good.

Famous tongues: Sophie Marceau, Jean Reno

The demotion of this perennial prizewinner of global brogues to second place may illustrate the declining sexuality of Old World petulance. Still, the come-hither condescension and fiery disinterest of the French tongue remains paradoxically erotic.

Sounds like: A 30-year-old teenager

1. Italian


Even when bathing in a fountain, a romance language is a romance language.

Famous tongues: Monica Bellucci, Alessandro Del Piero

Raw, unfiltered and as grabby to ears as its president is to rears, the Italian accent is a vowelgasm that reflects the spectrum of Italic experience: the fire of its bellicose beginnings … the romance of the Renaissance … the dysfunction of anything resembling a government since Caesar. Insatiable, predatory and possessive, this is sex as a second language.

Sounds like: A Ferrari saxophone

Mario Sends his Heart to Philippine Flood Victims

[Philippines] Only last week, a strong tropical storm hit our country, leaving the capital and northern regions heavily devastated.

A storm surge had swept through Roxas Blvd. a major through-way in Manila, submerging hotels, cars and offices. In the northern provinces of Bulacan and Pampanga, people are still wading in flood waters as we speak, conditions worsening as their toilets are submerged and with dwindling food supply and potable water.








And so it happened. I was updating our fan-page Marioholics and was just posting some of Gubgib's photos from Instagram when I suddenly noticed Mario's shirt. I WAS LIKE.. HEY! IS THAT PHILIPPINES written on his shirt?

And indeed it was. I posted it to people and pages all around in twitter, his publicist, Facebook and by noon the picture was everywhere.

So it happens, it was a Filipino fan who gave the shirt to Mario last July. He saw the retweet of Publicity Asia of the Instagram photo we uploaded.



[Photo credits to Lord Acuna of MarioMaurerPH]

He tweeted Mario. And when Mario checked his twitter later today, he sent a response picture which was all we could ask for!





What a SWEET boy he is! Here's more of it:
