In the photos recreating the movie poster for "Twilight: New Moon," Benjamin and Tippy were facing each other while Alden, who was sporting a vampire makeup, stood behind them, creating the impression of a love triangle.

Over a decade later, Cristopher went viral again and stamped his place in the Philippine internet's hall of fame for memes. TikTok users and even celebrities such have been dubbing and recreating his iconic lines: "What hafen, Vella? Why you cryin' again? I know, vampire, right? Vampire will feyt to me."

Barbie Forteza on running, cutting her hair short, and being in her self-care era
Barbie Forteza and Boy Abunda talked about various many things on Friday's "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" — from professional matters like her new television project "Beauty Empire" and the upcoming film "P77" to the personal and even trivial concerns like cutting her hair short, throwing herself fully into running, and even being her self-care era. "I feel like I'm having the time of my life," Barbie tells Tito Boy. On Running: According to Barbie, running is "something I have full control of." "Sa trabaho natin, nakalatag na lahat. Pero something very personal that you have control of, that's what I get out of running. it's an escape from reality. Ang focus ko lang ay yung pace, distance, time. Limot ang trabaho, limot ang showbiz," she continued. Barbie got into running this year, and completely threw herself into the activity. She has been joining fun runs that not only help her achieve personal records but in cases of charity fun runs, also allow Barbie to help others. "Nakakatawa kasi lately active din ako sa charity fun runs. So yung new found hobby na mahal na mahal ko, nagagamit ko pa for a better cause," Barbie tells Tito Boy. On Cutting Her Hair: While Barbie cut her hair for professional reasons — she wanted to make sure her character Noreen on "Beauty Empire" won't carry a shadow of herself — the Kapuso celebrity reaped personal benefits from the move. "I stepped out of my comfort zone. This is me discovering myself, starting a new era and that starts with my hair," Barbie said. "I noticed Even the way I carried myself changed, when I started wearing short hair. Mas may confidence, mas may sophistication. I've always been conformable wearing long hair, having long hair. Ngayon, parang meron lang certain consciousness na I have to stand tall, I have to dress better, kasi I stepped out of my comfort zone," she adds. On Self-Love: Barbiep proudly shared that has finished paying off her new house. "Fully paid na siya," she smiles at Tito Boy. "Kaya when I'm saying I'm enjoying my time, it's more like, meron akong malaking responsibilidad na nagampanan ko na para sa 'kin at sa pamilya ko so ngayon, ako naman." "When I say I'm in my self-love era, it's more of really enjoying my time and prioritizing myself at kung ano talaga ang gusto ko gain na nagagawa ko na ngayon." What can we say? We're happy for you, Barbie! — LA, GMA Integrated News
