Talent talent!

I appreciate talent. I love it when people showcase what they can do. Especially in singing.

Years ago I thought Charice Pempengco was good. I first saw her in this segment in MTB where you will sing a line in a certain song tapos pataas ng pataas yung pitch. I forgot the name of of the game pero i remember 'To reach the unreachable star" was one of the lines sang (pero not by Charice.) Anyhoo, point is, its been a long journey for her to reach her dreams pero at least bongga na siya ngayon. Minsan nga nakakapagod na marinig eh.HAHA gujab teh!

Eto isang pang bongga. Got this link from Weng. Eh naintriga me. It's a clip from Britain's Got Talent. Isa pang GUJAB TEH! 

Bawal i-embed yung video so check so click here! Enjoooy!

On Watching TV

I suuuper love watching TV. My friends can attest to that. Whenever there's a new ad, I know it agad! I can happily stay at home and just watch the television. Nung may cable, super saya. Kahit wala nang cable, ok lang, masaya pa rin! haha

Aside from movie reruns of my favorite Pinoy movies, I love watching late night documentaries. As in Reporter's Notebook, Correspondents, i-witness, Kalye. Lahat yan! Also Urban Zone and Trip na Trip. 

At this moment I am watching The Correspondents. Tonight's feature is entitled BUSERO. It talks about the life of the fishermen of Rosario, Cavite. As in omg mega tears galore ako. HAHAHA I'm such a softie pag mga ganyang stuff. I really wanna do the same- like make documentaries about normal people's lives, open other people's eyes on what's really happening to our fellowmen. You'll realize how much injustice there is in the country. WHERE DO OUR TAXES GO? Hello!!! Wake up corrupt people. You'll all die and rot in hell. Imagine how much damage you've caused the nation? Ghad I hate politicians! 

I guess it's safe to say this is my dream job. I feel that I can serve the country this way. As in homayghad, give me a job in the network and I will make my way up there. 

If not naman, probably I want to be super mega rich so I can help them in my own way.

I recommend that you guys watch these docus also. It's a real treat for the mind, and the heart. So ayun, I'm just saying hindi nasasayang ang oras ko sa panonood ng TV. hahaha

Filipino and Proud!

This post is about all things Filipino. I've always believed we are an amazing race and we are super blessed with an equally amazing country. Here are some stuff we can be proud of.

1. Mabuhay guides. I learned about them from Carlos Celdran's blog. They're a bunch of young Filipinos who underwent intensive training under the Department of Tourism. They are well versed about the Philippines- history, arts, culture, cuisine- basically anything Filipino. And their job? To be the official guides of prime ministers, diplomats and even celebrities who will visit the country. They will be earning P4,000 a day and P5,000 for those who know a foreign language other than English. Plus travel ang photo op- not bad. haha

2. Camiguin. They have their version of Boracay Island- only much peaceful and smaller. The White Island of Camiguin is known for its white (duh) sand. What's amazing is that this island only appears on a low tide. I've been here maybe 10 years ago and I can't wait to come back. That time, the manongs told us a story where a couple got stranded on the island so they had to stay overnight because the next banca will arrive in the morning. Shempre nag high tide, ayun naka tip-toe sila all night. hahaha benta talaga yung kwento.

3. Our  very own...KEBERLOO! hahaha Inspired by the hit tv series Gossip Girl, Emm Enriquez launched his own version. Keberloo stays in touch with the Pinoy culture as the non-incognito Keberloo talks about his (and his friends) adventures, random thoughts, kilig moments and whatnots. Sneak into Keberloo's crazy world here.

Snippity snappity boom!

Snippets of my recent thoughts and encounters:

1. According to showbiz talk shows, you either have a booming career or a blooming love life. Mahirap bang mamili? hahaha What would you pick?

2. A few days ago, I had this conversation with an orgmate.

 J.B. (4/10/2009 1:53:09 AM): ate may tanong ako.... masama bang magsabi sa crush (or ex-crush) na crush (or naging crush) mo siya? 

O diba? How intriguing? haha Katawa talaga. SI J.B. nga pala ay hindi si JB de Hoya. Initials lang yung JB.

Anyhoo, try mo ngang sagutin!

3. Got this quote from Ate Carms' multiply blog. (fyi: Ate Carms is an ABAM alumni. She was the HR VP during my trans process hehe)

"I believe in happy endings...if it's not happy now, then it's not yet the end..."

True true. 

4. Ghad di pa ako nakaka bakasyon as in for real. I wanna get away from it all! haha I'm ecxited for the Bicol trip with Isadora and other friends. Who wants to come? 6k- airfare, butanding dive and pocket money. Food and place is on me yo! 

5. Graduation...16 days! Gotta find the perfect grad shoes. hehe

How are things goin on your side of the world?

Revamp!

Blog revamp to be exact. haha 

I came up with the decision mostly out of boredom. I have just finished watching Confessions of a Shopaholic. Since I'm not sleepy yet, I decided to check my blog. The gloomy background of black made me sad. So viola! Hello white! I'm happy with the change. It's a breath of fresh air and could do well as a milestone in my life. That today we shall all welcome change. Not all change is bad after all.

I feel I am maturing every passing day. I spend a lot of time looking for a job that I am really called for (haha choosy!), I spend quite a few hours reassessing my life goals (yuck, as if meron), and whatnots. 

But sometimes, no matter how mature we become or how much revamp we do, we can't just let go of the things we love. Or maybe not just things...if you know what I mean.
