This probably is the sexiest scene Zac Efron has made so far in his movie career. Ironically, this also is his funniest. I’m pretty sure after seeing this clip from the movie That Awkward Moment, a lot has strangely been wanting to become a toilet bowl.
After the semi-successful launch of the first single of American Idol Season 11 runner-up, people kept wondering what shall be the follow-up single on her first album launched in April/May of this year.
If the management of Jessica Sanchez would be able to read this post, I hope that the next single to be released in her Me, You & the Music album would be the reggae-like tune mixed with a whisk of dance-pop and R&B beats entitled Don’t Come Around.
If this track would be produced with very good music video, I believe this would be a potential big hit. The beat is infectious, the type that would basically grow in you. This would be aside from the song’s tough and unapologetic message which would add some color to the somewhat bland and pa-twitams (nauseatingly cute) image of Jessica Sanchez.
Let me share this little golden nugget of a music.
I am happy that the music video of Dami Im has just been released today. After watching the whole super nice video, the only thing that dawned on me is that Dami Im could possibly be the next fashion icon of this planet.
Dami has never been afraid to try new things to wear. What is so impressive about her and her team of stylists (if ever she has one) are the various ornaments, hats, embellishments and head pieces she has worn and showed off. Those stuffs were simply fresh, unique, chic and fashionable.
HRH Queen Elizabeth is too old while Lady Gaga looks too tired and worn out. The freshly released video of Dami Im’s Alive simply seals her as the new Queen of Modern Headdress. Those headdresses can truly trigger a different kind of fashion buzz…
It’s official. I am an enlisted personnel of the army, The Dami Army that is. I have done this by pressing the Like icon button of her Facebook page and posting this article into this blog.
I followed the progress and features of this year’s X Factor Australia initially by being so mesmerized by the Jai Waetford audition, this year’s first audition feature. But during that same first day of audition-features I was equally impressed by the most awkward looking lady singing Hero by Mariah Carey as her audition piece.
But I totally became a fan when she performed during the bootcamp portion of the competition. There was a major mishap yet she rose to the occasion and performed a very beautiful number.
She actually was dropped from the competition because of this. Yet fate I guess is truly on her side to become one popular artist because she was the one who got a surprise call when one of the finalists backed out from the show. From then on, I continued looking after how Dami Im has performed in the contest.
Dami Im is the personification of “awkward” being “the new awesome”. Her inelegance and gawkiness is so fresh and captivating. What is so damn great about Dami is when she starts singing her un-polish-ness just disappears right before your eyes and transformation into a remarkable singing talent just comes into sight. You would not believe that the awesome voice is actually coming out from such an awkward, down-to-earth and naive-looking lady.
As of this writing, she just passed through the week 4 of the finals singing Roar by Katy Perry… Here is Dami Im singing a disco hit of the late ’70s, her live performance during the week 3 of the finals…
I guess her magnificent talent is coming from the pureness and sweetness of her heart. If she gets eliminated in the program, I think it is because she is too good for X Factor.
Brisk walking is one great exercise. It makes you healthy. But brisk walking outdoors in a place called Metro Manila would actually make you more sick than healthy. The air is so polluted it would be stupid to jog or brisk walk outside. And if tough luck besets upon you droplets of acid rain may even infiltrate your lungs making you even more prone to illness.
That is why a Metro Manila inhabitant like me would rather settle to go to a gym and do my brisk walking on a painfully boring treadmill. Let me be clear that I do not detest Metro Manila the way I have grown to detest the treadmill with growing hatred.
Brisk walking on the treadmill is a mental game for me. Aside from shaping up my delicious mortal chassis, brisk walking on a treadmill for me is an exercise of mental toughness. It is because brisk walking on a treadmill is so god awfully boring. There’s nothing more dreadful than seeing the seconds count down and being fully aware of how much time is still left and the calories you have shred off was actually just equivalent to a spoon of mayonnaise.
To ease the agony of boredom and win the battle against this mentally tormenting machine, I have sought the service and assistance of musical artists particularly of the dance-electronic genre. Now I shape up and step on a treadmill with matching beats. My walk has gone interesting since the pacing and distance of each stride depends on the beats of the music on my earphones.
Music of Alexis Jordan has been an often tune in my playlist every time I step on the treadmill. She’s got great selection of songs with varying fast beats. The most recent one that I truly enjoy listening to is ironically entitled Acid Rain. This is the Acid Rain that will definitely not hurt at all. Now, boost up the volume and start listening!
Michael Buble is so mainstream. He is not your ideal fresh indie-singer or indie-band whose songs have ironically been listened to by everyone but only sold in a couple of thousands. He is so popular, everybody loves him and he sells millions that is why he is not considered an underdog.
But having said this, you would realize that Buble being “too” mainstream in his profession could actually be categorized as the underdog. He is an underdog because his being too mainstream means he will never be categorized as critically acclaimed. He is too mainstream he will never receive the greatest review of a prominent music critic on any of his present and future works.
And since I am not a prominent music critic, let me bestow a little accolade for the most recent work and music of Michael Buble. His new single Its A Beautiful Day is probably one of the best anti-love song ever composed. It’s upbeat, positive, sunny and refreshing. Though it is a gladsome song it nevertheless did not fail to bring a message of kick-ass spunk and the naughtiness of its-your-loss-not-mine attitude.
This song can also make you realize that the messed-up and awful relationship that you may be in now which you never actually aspired for is something that can be treated as your today’s curse which can be tomorrow’s blessing. I therefore declare that this song is my official anti-love song.
What the hell have you been thinking?! I know you are upset with South Korea for having closed a mighty deal with USA to hold a joint military exercise. But try to think again if you are really pursuing your stupid plans of annihilating the South. Because I am pretty sure you won’t succeed.
Why? Here’s why…
First, the problem with you is that you have shunned yourself to the world. You basically have been living under the rock that is why you don’t know that in the past couple of years there has been what is known as the “Korean Wave”. Which actually should have been coined “South Korean Wave” since this phenomenon has totally nothing to do with you.
You should be aware that (South) Korean Wave refers to the increasing popularity of South Korean entertainment and culture all over the planet. And part of this wave is the migration of South Koreans in various parts of the world. They are everywhere for goodness sakes! Therefore, even if you smash and rupture the vast lands of South Korea into smithereens, South Korean genes, populace and ethnicity will never be gone. It will remain on this planet. I just hope you learn from the equally dim-witted soul-less Nazis who thankfully flopped in annihilating the Jewish people.
jo in-sung
Second, if you fight the South Koreans people of other nations will detest and abhor you. This is because when South Korea will be at war their popular boy bands as well as their superstar actor-celebrities Jo In-sung, Hyun Bin and Lee Min Ho will be required to be enlisted to join their armed forces. People of the world would definitely don’t want these cutesy looking idols getting hit by a bullet or even crawl on muddy messy ground.
dara: pambansang krung krung
Lastly, if you fight South Korea, Dara of girl-band 2NE1 who is popularly known as Sandara Parks here in the Philippines will be sad and agitated. You must know that Filipinos love Dara, she is the pambansang krung-krung (Philippine icon for weird yet adorable silliness). And of course, you don’t want to mess up with the krung-krung Filipinos. We don’t need to go there in your country to physically fight and be at war. We have lots of expert mangkukulam-s (voodoos) and the mambabarang-s (withcrafts and sorcerers) who can easily cast a curse or spell on your brain-washed people.
That is why you should think again. Anyway, getting into war is so ancient, obsolete and very out-of-style. My final advise to you, you should get out of your shell, be current, be modern, be cool!

The Delicious Earthling
Umayos nga yang Nort Koreya na ‘yan! Di naman kagandahan!
I have yet to watch one full episode of the latest season of American Idol (season 13). I have seen a few clips of interesting performances as well as this year’s judges’ comments, praises and criticisms on YouTube. Yet with the limited number of clips I have seen, the most superb judge this year for me is Nicki Minaj.
I like Nicki Minaj. She is honest. She is not afraid to say what other else’ are thinking. With the few and limited videos I have seen, I am surprised to agree with Nicki in every word that comes out of her mouth. I never thought that she knows what she was talking about. It’s pretty crazy!
Since I have not been watching this year’s version of American Idol, I only learned through the latest on-line news that the true winner and story spinner of last year’s American Idol was back. Jessica Sanchez was back to perform her latest single. Watch this…
Too bad, Nicki was not yet a judge when Jessica placed runner-up. I wonder what Nicki has to say about this performance… Oh and by the way, I also like Neyo!
I am not particularly a fan of Abba but I no doubt enjoyed watching the movie as well as the stage musical of Mama Mia. In both occasions, I could not stop myself from singing along those fun fun lyrics which I grew up with during the 70s.
But today and in the coming weeks, I’m pretty sure Abba fans will enjoy the newly released songs of Agnetha Faltskog. Abba may not be getting back together soon but at least ¼ of the group is back to offer us fresh new bunch of her music.
When I learned that Ben Affleck the cheesy actor who once dated the cheesy singer/actress Jennifer Lopez and starred in two of the cheesiest movies of all time Gigli and Jersey Girl won the prestigious plum for Best Director award in almost all prestigious award giving bodies in America, I was shocked, stunned and stupefied. I thought there must truly be something wrong in America nowadays! I thought that America’s inhabitants must have gone foolishly cheesy.
My impertinent brain percolated that Ben Affleck being a film director is in no way count in the hierarchy of importance and skill from the pool of film geniuses who were also nominated this year. Steven Spielberg, Ang Lee, Quentin Tarantino and Kathryn Bigelow definitely are of much greater creatures in the universe of film making.
But when I saw the directorial job of Affleck in the movie Argo, I was more than shocked, stunned and stupefied. There was nothing cheesy in it!
The action, the tension and the pacing were brilliantly built-up my fingernails hurt because of the nail-biting climax. It was so wildly riveting and grippingly entertaining my butt aches because it held me at the edge of my seat. The movie was absolutely brilliant! Now I can say that Affleck remains to be a cheesy actor yet has turned out to be an exceptional director.
