Chrismas is finally over....and it was wonderful as always..

Now, we had our Christmas Party at the (In)Famous Embassy Super Club in The Fort. See the pic on the left? that's me and my friend Kel singing "time of our life" soundtrack of the movie "Dirty Dancing", our theme for the party is retro so the ambiance is from the 70's, 80's and 90's..

It was my first to go to that club and I was kinda excited maybe because I've heard a lot of things about that place, stories of the troubles of Borgy Manotoc, the Gucci Gang's alleged "scandal", the rumoured drug use on its private rooms etc...

Well, the place is actually nice, they got a separate room for smokers and the place for dancing is smoke free (unless the smokers area is closed people can smoke anywhere). I also saw the way going to the private rooms though I did not go inside any room. But hey, the drinks are outrageously expensive tsk... a bottle of SanMig Light would cost you P120, a bottle of Mineral Water is P75 and a glass of cocktail drink is P250, now what is that!!!!!

my trip

On my last blog I mentioned that I was heading for cebu after 4 long years, and so I did... It was a very exhausting vacation yet extraordinarily memorable. I was able to see some of my old friends and surprisingly made new ones. Special mention to those guys on the pic who made my stay there exciting and unforgettable. (Thanks Evelyn, Don, Sheryl, Delwess, Dave & my cousin Glen who is behind the camera).

I know realized that my life is really here now in Manila, though a part me will always be a cebuano "by choice", I wish I could stay in two places at one time....

I missed the food so I really took my time in satisfying the 4 year cravings of Steam Rice, Ngohiong, Grilled Stuff at AAs and of course the famous Lechon Cebu. Things have also changed when it comes to nightlife, most of the place I used to hang-out have closed (Jukebox, Ratsky, Sinners & Saints, Kukais etc...) there is nightlife now in Mango Avenue which is equally exciting.

I spent my first night at some bars just behind the former Eastwest Cafe where Redhorse is cheap lolz! then tried the comedy bar 22nd street just beside the National Bookstore in Mango Ave. And the last destination on my last night is still in Mango Ave, the YO.U Bar and Club Autoshop.

Too bad I have to leave, too bad I do not belong there anymore....I miss the life there, the city and the simplicity...as the song says..."some good things never last"... painful but I have to turn my back again to face reality and catch my flight...

but i left a promise which i intend to keep..."i'll be back...."

shifting

what i'm trying to do is make this blog a bit personal cuz ive been posting lots of things here and they were all just for fun, so im gonna start with this entry...

finally, im leaving for cebu city...yes after 4 long years im finally going back "home", my second home. the wonderful place where i spent 15 wonderful years, the place that molded me to the person i am right now... cebu will always be special and whatever happens i will always go back...

my flight is at 10am thursday and im so excited that i wasnt able to sleep well, came to work with just 4 hours of sleep and brought my stuff with me and at 7am i'll be on my way to the airport..

im thinking of the things that i wanna do when i get there... see old friends, go to the places where i used to hang-out, eat at larsian, eat ngohiong, sutukil ahhhh...can't wait..

Movies To watch 2

I have long been waiting for these movies to be shown, thank goodness they made a teaser already..

first stop

X-men Origins: Wolverine

Hellboy's Back

Movies to watch...

the voice that could melt your heart

i have posted a video about this boy previously, Andrew Johnston the young soprano constestant of the bristih television show "britains got talent". on his first audition he was a very shy 13 year old boy, shaking and without confidence...he narrated the bullying he got from school because of the type of songs he sing...

here in this latest video, the grand final performance, he sang the same song when he first auditioned..but in a very very different way..the boy has evolved from a shy kid to an astonishing singer..he sings like an angel and will surely put a tear in your eyes...

he finished third place...

proudly PInOY

i have long been blogging about american shows and british shows about how funny they are and the whole thing...it's time for pinoys to kick ass this time....

oki proudly pinoy presents...ANG BUHAY SA PINAS :))

FIRST STOP

UMAYOS KASI...AYAN MALINAW NA HA, PARA DI MAPANGHI!!!


SAN KAYA TO????


OH DI VAH SOSYAL!!!


ISA FA TONG SOSYAL!!! BIDA SI FAFA LEO..


PAMINAW LAGI UY AMAW!


IBANG LEVEL FRIED ITO!!


PAMPA-OBRA BA TO? AT LEAST IN CANS...


UNDERSTAND U?


KAHILO BA?

another reason why...

forgive me if i'm gonna be blogging about british shows...what can i do, i love them!!! i love their humor, their sensitivity, their drama and the way the shows are being handled...and oh, before i forget, i loooovvvveeee the audience....

ok, here is something new i found online, again it's from Britain's Got Talent...for those who know nothing about the show, it's a competions of not just singing but different acts (same style as the U.S. version) where the auditions are being done in front of a live audience....

i have seen remarkable talents from that show, namely Paul Potts, the first winner, the latest child wonder, an incredibly talented boy named Andrew Johnston (see my previous post with the video) and the OFW Madonna Decena...

Well, here's the new one...not a singer but a dance act, a dynamic duo of Indians who energetically danced Michael Jackson's Billy Jean...check the reaction of the judges and the audience....

AMAAAAZZZZZINGGGG!

I loVE BRITISH peOPLe

OK OK OK!!!!!I'M BACK...

It's been ages since I last updated my blog, the reason is that blogspot has been blocked in our office and it's there where I do my updates because the only thing I do when I get home is sleep huh!

I also decided to stop blogging that much about American Idol, I don't know why...it's not because Ramiele Malubay is out already, I guess I got bored. Seems like the show has lots its touch on offering something different. Seems like each time I sit in front of my TV to watch it, I already know what they're going to do and how they are going to do it...do, I quit :(

But hey, the one thing I haven't lost interest in is watching British talent shows. I really love Brits hahahaha...I mean forget the Spice Girls..I'm saying in general... I love their humor and they could be direct and rough but they are could be very sensitive too..too bad none of their shows are being shown locally...I'm tired of this IDOL franchises tsk... why not try X-Factor or Britain's Got Talent (by the way the I find the american version extremely boring)

Now, here's a couple of Brits I currently admire to the fullest...

First is Paul Potts...the first winner of Britains Got Talent. Pott's is just an ordinary guy, a car phone sales man who has a passion for Opera...as Simon Cowell said a guy who isn't a professional, has a talent, isn't aware of it, has a regular job and and they see something else..check the video and see for yourself..



Another one is Andrew Johnston, the latest discovery of BGT(britains got talent), my oh my! the kid sings like an angel...he's so nervous and shaking and even narrated the bullying he got from school because people there thought he was singing the wrong songs. See for yourself and witness the birth of a Star :)

bOKSNGEROng BaDING?????

I know that these pics have been all over the internet for a very long time now, but what the heck I'll post them anyways...

Carly Oh Carly

this is carly...will you vote for her as the next american idol???

He's OUT she's NOT

America finally said goodbye to David Hernandez..after wednesday's elimination night and over 29 million votes..it was the end of his journey on Idol...

David Hernandez only has one regret, following his elimination from “American Idol” on Wednesday night — and it has nothing to do with the rumors from his past.
“I’m not ashamed of anything I’ve done in my past,” Hernandez told reporters on Thursday morning. “The only thing I was worried about was my song selection.”
Hernandez, who was sent packing this week following his performance of The Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There,” is confident it was his performance — and not the rumors from his past — that ended his “Idol” ride.


The journey continues for our pride Ramiele Malubay....now, she's been given a chance to
redeem herself after the dissapointing performance of "In my life"

Ramiele really needs help on the type of songs she chooses and the arrangement of songs..as Simon Cowell said "there is mo much more in her

IDOL top TWELVE! Lennon-McCartney Music

ok, the grand showdown has started, top 12 and new set...but some performances are disappointing.... and others were just ok... here a are some of them singing Lennon-McCartney songs ...

The judges were not impressed but what the heck, i loved the her rendition. For the mp3 file, click the link below

DAVID COOK


I think David Cook gave the best performance for the night, the voice..the song and the confidence.. here's a link to the mp3: Eleanor Rigby


Now, for Ramiele Malubay & David Archuleta...

I don't wanna post their videos at this time because I'm kinda disappointed with their performances...with Ramiele, she obviously has a very good voice but CAN SOMEBODY TELL HER TO PLEASE PLEASE CHOOSE THE RIGHT SONG!!!!I'm getting nervous that she might be voted out pretty soon..

And For David A??? ahhh he was a mess that night...

Hmmm, so… but I said that my family is the most important persons in my life. Thank you.

IdoL UpDate

It was the end of the road for the four Idol hopefuls. I personally think Danny Noriega should have been given a chance rather than Chikezie Eze. Dany is loud and talented and has a mad attitude it would be fun to watch more of him on the show.

And KadyMalloy obviously is expected to be axed same as Luke Menard they seem to lack the appeal and personality for them to stay and sail on to the rest of the competition.

And Asia'h? I think this girl is really talented and should have stayed rather than Kristy Lee Cook...Simon Cowell is right she is forgettable, I can't even remember her name and have googled just to get her complete name..

DaVID

David Hernandez...from stripper to American Idol..
what's his story

Idol 7's 3rd Elemination Performances Babes

The Second batch for this week...


Syesha Mercado singing Saving all my love by Whitney Houston...
This is an awesome performance for me cuz I think this girl is good and I love the song...though Simon Cowell didn't share the same view...




Now, one of this season's sweetheart...Brooke White..
I just love the tone of her voice, absolutely not a belter but she reminds me of the style of Diana King...



Ramiele Malubay.. Against All Odds..
This is one of my very very favorite song...I loved it when Scott Savol sang it on the past season of Idol..but with Ramiele, it was okay...I mean she obviously has a very big and wonderful voice but she's kinda shy and needs to work more on her confidence...



Amanda Overmyer..My favorite Nurse...
Look at her now, she's very pretty with simplier hair...and the performance was awesome...

LAPLAPAN NA ITO!

eAzY n smOOTH

and now it's saturday night and im stucked and f*&%d.. boring..boring...boring....and i don't even wanna get drunk cuz i'm trying to loose weight huh!

anyways, after watching (would you believe) 6 dvds...i scanned a box of old stuff and i saw a cd of joey mcintyre, yeah that guy from nkotb years ago.... see the pic?

well, ive read somewhere that...

jon knight left the music industry and entered the real estate business
jordan knight the bro still performs and tours
donnie wahlberg as we know entered the movies though not as popular as his bro mark
then danny wood became a record producer based in boston
and lastly there's joey mcintyre, the youngest in the group...see the pic?



since the group's split joey has released a solo album Stay the same and scored a top 10 hit with the title track..he also went into the television via Boston Public and movies through On Broadway (which trailer you can check here:on broadway trailer

the latest record he released was a cover album (2006) songs like moonriver, bewitched and the way you look tonight. its kinda cool and relaxing and i thought i'd share a couple of songs which you can download here:BeWitcheD and MoOnRiveR

till next time :)

RamIELLE FEVER

ok ok…here we go…the solo performances of the top 12 female contestants of american idol was aired today…and our pinoy pride ramiele sang “you don’t have to say you love me” while singing i can’t help but pray na sana wag pumalya and once again she did it….simon cowell even said “you outstand everyone else tonight” whoooaaa ain’t that somethin’?
and if you miss the show or if you wanna listen to her song you can check it here:Ramiele Sings (right click then save target as)

dAviD ARchULEta

for those of you who like this little man named david archuleta i found a song he previously recorded before…it’s a cover of vanessa carlton’s thousand miles…the song is not of good quality pero pwede na…you can download here:a thousand miles

JOSIAH leming

for those guys who have been watching american idol....as we know season 7 battle has began with our very own ramielle malubay, a sushi waitress from miramar, florida...she's proudly pinoy and even mentioned regine velasquez as one of her musical influences and her favorite singer...
and there were the hush-hush that danny noriega and david archuleta have pinoy blood as well, but it remains to be confirmed....tingin ko parang hindi eh, murag lahi ra!!!
but wait wait wait....there was this one guy who caught my and say people's attention...his name is josiah leming.. an 18 year old homeless guy who's been living in his car for over a year since he left home...he's a native of tennessee but he auditioned in atlanta..he passed the hollywood round but he didn't make it to the top 24...sayang kaayo tsk...i personally think that this guy has a real talent and he write songs...proof of this is when he was eliminated from ai7 he guested on the ellen de generes and sang one of his compositions, the song entitled "to run"...the song is kinda cool and sounded fresh..and i believe we're gonn be seeing more of this guy.... if you wanna check the song here is the link to download: josia TO RUN
