Move over Mariah! Here's a clip of what Youtube fans call the 'Korean Mariah Carey'. Her name is Cha Soo-Kyung, a Korean singer who can hit all the high notes like Mariah Carey [used to]. At first, I thought this girl was a hoax. The first part of the video sounds like she's just lipping. But you'll easily find out she isn't. Don't...

I have a lot to learn. As a treat, here's Jojo's Spanish version of her hit song Too Little Too Late. I still can't believe...

Here's a preview of the third Filipino [language] film to make it to the Cannes Film Festival. All I can say is, I'm definitely watching this movie. I've seen Brilliante Mendoza's films and I like them all. At least, for a change, the protagonist isn't a male prostitute. Did you notice that most of the recognized Filipino films are sex-themed? ...

I watched The Incredible Hulk yesterday. I've seen the first film where they had a different set of actors. I was very impressed with the first movie's special effects so I figured they would have a lot of improvements for this sequel. I was right. The Hulk definitely looks better, unlike the one on the first movie which doesn't adapt with natural light...

Which Sex and the City character are you?I'm always curious when magazines do this. Do they disclose the number of magazines sold per star? I want to know if Carrie is still selling nowadays. As I've said earlier, I wasn't 'carried away' by the movie. I haven't seen it again so I have yet to decide whether my first blog entry is indeed...

I've seen the Al Gore and George W. Bush video featuring the then presidential candidates singing Endless Love. Now folks, hands down, this has to be the most hilarious video of Bush, this time with Putin. It features the two leaders dancing in what appears as a Vegas stage, complete with all the Vegas entourage.The video features the latest face mapping technology which...

I knew this was going to happen. Arnel Pineda is featured on the latest GQ where he tells his story on the internationally popular men's magazine. Props to you Arnel for making Filipinos around the world so proud! Who would have thought that Journey would find their new singer through YouTube and he happens to be from a small town in the Philippines?...

Shia La-who? Just call him Shia. Don't mind his last name which is yet to be spelled correctly in magazine. This guy's got talent! He can act -be it a serious or funny role - he does deliver. I've been a fan of this kid since he starred on Constantine. He's been on Indiana Jones and soon on Transformers 2: Revenge of the...

I've been waiting for ABS-CBN to air this Deal or No Deal special, where the American version came to the Philippines to do it the Filipino way. I think Howie is a very charming host. Having Kris Aquino as her co-host is awesome. I'm proud that our local version had its 15 minutes of fame in the US.The best parts: I love Howie's...

Oh I miss my Motorola V3X! It's the only phone I had with 3G capability. And now, here comes the Apple iPhone 3G. While I have not personally experienced the first generation iPhone, I think it's cute but very much overrated. I wonder how this one would be accepted by the consumers. Here's a first look at the iPhone 3G from Yahoo Tech.iPhone...

I managed to dig into some of the YouTube videos and find my very, very first favorite band here in the Philippines: SMOKEY MOUNTAIN! The group had three batches (make that 4 if you consider Kaya to be an extension of SM). I remember collecting all of their cassette tapes when I was a kid. I sang their songs in a lot of...

She's touted to be next Oprah and Martha Stewart. Really? Maybe. She's a smart girl mate. She turned her previous career, her education and passion into something profitable, something we now know as her Bankable Productions, the production outfit that produced her popular shows like America's Next Top Model, The Tyra Banks Show, and the soon-to-be-released reality show Stylista.This video was taken while...

My favorite American Idol single is 'I believe'. I thought it was so brilliant when Fantasia sang it. It was written for her. Well, the encore performance of Diana DeGarmo was also good but Fantasia definitely nailed it that night. I've been watching both performances lately and noticed that they both have some weaknesses when they sang the song. For one, I don't...

My family has a history of Diabetes. I know a few relatives who have had it or still suffer from it. That is why my mother has always reminded me to keep my blood sugar low as this can happen to me too. Technically, almost anything we eat converts into blood sugar. So too much of sugar can do some damage, regardless if...

I saw Kung Fu Panda yesterday and I liked it sooooo much! I think it'll be one of the best summer movies this year. Jack Black's voice fits the Panda character well. I swear I was laughing all the way til the end. This is my ideal animated movie. Some get caught up in the animation and effects with the storyline suffering, leaving...

This is pretty interesting! Archaelogists found the missing pyramid in Egypt. It was first discovered in the 1800s but was apparently covered by thick desert sand which kid it for centuries. Today, only the bottom part of the pyramid is visible but who knows what's underneath? Treasure? Mummies? Exciting! I will monitor this story and post videos soon.One of the comments of the...

I watched Sex and the City last week and I was very disappointed. For one, it lacked the one thing that made us love the original series on HBO: a good sense of humor. Yes, I know. There were lots of laughs in this movie but there weren't a lot of funny scenes.What's worse is that the MTRCB has made silly cuts in...

When I watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull, I thought of Jessica Zafra's post about the movie. She has a point. Harrison Ford is old and we don't expect him to have the same energy he had when he last played the role. I watched it for two reasons: Cate Blanchett and Shia LaBeouf are both in it and the...

Well, it's not exactly TOO old. I was looking for new videos of David Archuleta's performances/guestings and came across this old video, probably shot by his father, which shows a much younger Archuleta playing the piano and singing one of my favorite songs, A Thousand Miles. Way to go Archi!I have to say, I see myself in Archuleta. When I was younger, I...

Yep, you heard it right. I just downloaded some of his songs. You can't deny it. David Archuleta is really talented. I know David Cook deserves to win but the younger David also needs to be recognized. Here are some of my favorite performances from Archi. ...

Thanks to Perez Hilton, I got hold of this list of the upcoming sequels that the Hollywood movie outfits are currently working on. Some of them are really interesting and I cannot wait to watch. Some are, well, let's just say I don't understand what's making them lengthen the movie franchise to the tenth movie. I've listed some of the ones I love...

With Charlie Green eliminated, all eyes are on Madonna Decena. Her previous performance was very moving (heck, I was also in tears after watching it!) Here's her most recent performance at Britain's Got Talent. I'm not so sure about her vocal performance. I thought her voice was a bit shaky and she went flat on some parts.I want to know who's decision it...

Yesterday, I downloaded the old Fox special on the moon landing. Remember that special shown on Studio 23 where some experts said NASA faked the whole moon landing in 1960's. I will watch it again and start discussing it here.Meanwhile, I learned that there's a new space mission just recently. Shuttle Discovery just blasted into orbit from Cape Canaveral, FL, carrying a crew...

Thanks Mac for the tip. It's sad that Charlie Green was eliminated. He took a risk and sang an original song written to him by his dad's friend. From the first note, you'd already know it's a disaster. I think the song was loosely based on his previous performance of Summer Wind. I totally agree with the judges, he shouldn't be singing songs...
