Charice Pempengco's Father Stabbed to Death in Laguna

This just in. We just got news through ANC that Charice Pempengco's Father was stabbed to death in Laguna.

Born Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco, this young girl was dubbed by Oprah as the most talented girl in the world. Some feud over the use of her surname early on her International career prompted her to just use CHARICE as a screen name (as her Dad and her biological Dad's family refuse to use it for their last name). In video biographies, her Dad was portrayed "violent" early on and this started the rift between them and her father. Not to be stopped she still pursued a career in the US; received high acclaim too. The Father on the other hand stayed to be never seen for a long time. The last time was when she was 3 years old. Now that this news has come up, what would her reaction be?

As of now, the cause of death is still under investigation. But it has been confirmed that he is dead. My condolences to Charice and her family. No matter how good or bad he was, he's still Charice's father.

David Foster and Friends

Yeah yeah you can say all you want! I know I am a little lame in some ways and this isn't one of them. I like seeing Charice succeed and also seeing international stars. I am one of the millions who adore her. Why not? She's got one hell of a voice... If you think about it we've got lots of them here that didn't get to penetrate the world market. Aside from Lea I don't think there are others who made significant contributions aside from Journey front man Arnel Pineda and Charice in these times.

Did you know they arrived yesterday? Yeap they just got in from a tour in Japan! Natalie Cole and Reuben Studdard will be here to perform on the concert. There's also a Canadian foursome that sings standards and operas which I don't have a clue of who they are but they are here too. I wonder if they are as good as the others on the list. A big disappointment though are the no shows like Michael Buble and the other ones Charice sang with a few months ago.

Charice actually sang with NEYO in Las Vegas and got him to do Michael Jackson numbers. That's one achievement again on her hat. It's the same concert where she received 2 standing ovations for singing Celine Dion songs. David Foster is really promoting her a lot these days and he's not surprised if Charice makes it BIGTIME as if this wasn't big already!

Are you going to watch this concert?! I wonder how much it costs. Better look at ticketnet because they probably have them listed too.

OT: I love the album Jojo released on her tumblr account. It's all for free so I suggest you get a copy too.

Getting Experts to do it!

People were a little shocked yesterday when they heard the news that GLEE teen star CHARICE from the Philippines was getting her jaw sides BOTOX'D while being seen by millions of people in public television. I'm really okay with it unlike some Filipinos who still find it taboo to have anything retouched at an early age. If it is cosmetic and it will enhance what she looks like I'm all for it! I would want that for myself too pretty soon and I'm studying what procedures would be good for me. I would like to find doctors that I could trust in the plastic surgery plano area. I'm sure they will do a good job with their proven track record and inclusion in AI4PS which is the premier institute for plastic surgeons in the Dallas area! I hope I can get something done there soon because of some fat deposits I would like to get rid of on my sides, belly and chin area.

Safety should always be first. These procedures can be very dangerous so if you would like to even think about getting it done; we should always seriously take in consideration what they have done in the past and what expertise they have so you won't be sorry. Get the best ones to do it for you because after all it is your body. CHARICE may have had it done; but that doesn't mean she did not think about it first. Getting certified plastic surgeons is the key. Would you do otherwise?!

Something Funny and Something to be Proud Of!

Two things ran into my mind this week, one is Eugene Domingo. This funny lady has never failed to amuse me with her antics specifically the "HANDUSAY" part of her skits. When it made me laugh, I usually cringe because I could not stop thinking about it. In this particular video above, she interviews David Archuleta and David Cook while performing a few tasks for Anjo Yllana. This is so funny, and I'm proud to say I am an UGE fan. I will continue to watch her shows and movies. I'll try and get some humorous stuff from her too lolz.

This other video shows Charice in another one of her stellar performances over at the Oprah show. She launched her US debut single called "Note to God" which was originally sang by Jojo and the other girl from America's Got Talent... I forgot her name. Anyway, both David Foster and the composer already said that only she can do justice to this beautiful song. And she did... astounded audiences around the world she also now has a chart topper under her belt. Thanks to Oprah she's got the second most downloadable song in ITUNES. She also plans to collaborate with Justin Timberlake soon. Maybe she has a crush on him too like when she did with Josh Groban. Goodluck to this pretty lil girl from Laguna, which is a few hours away from here. ^_^ So proud of her!

CHARICE meets MARIAH CAREY ; Another dream come true!

People thought things wouldn't be better than Charice already appearing in Oprah and having her to sing with the likes of Josh Groban, Michael Buble, Andrea Bocelli, and Celine Dion among other big names in the industry... but just this week, (i guess?!) a raw footage in youtube showed Charice meeting her longtime idol Mariah Carey... her young tears flowed on the carpet in this benefit concert they went to.... (interview seemed to be with Atty. Garfinkel) she met Mariah and her husband and once nobody thought it was possible until this happened. I'm so proud of this young girl from my homeland... I guess all Filipinos would be too right? ^_^

Let's watch it!



Wow! Now ain't that a lot to cry about! Proud of yah Charice!
