Missing Their Music

I wonder what happened with these three artists. Good thing there is youtube otherwise I would have died boring my self to the amuse of a couple of my enemies. I love Macy Gray and her oh so husky voice. Where else could you see a woman like this kiss a dreadlocked guy on her MTV. When all the things I watch over channel V and MYX are all Korean you kinda sit back and wonder whatever happened to those artists you love so dearly from the US. MTV decided to cut back on costs because of the crisis and those regional MTV stations were all recalled. I hate that executive decision!

If you talk about easy listening and when you dream of that perfect summer - spring day while on a journey with your bike that has a lil bell on it, you have to think of her. Corrine Bailey Ray may not be that popular here but I've got a soft spot for British acts and she is one awesome lady. If you watch her acoustic sessions with other artists from that part of the globe, you'll understand why a lot of people like her. It's sheer feel good music!

No I don't miss timbaland since he just came over with Justin Timberlake and Jojo a couple of months ago. I'm not a fan of his work but I'm a fan of those who he collaborates with. Don't you ever wonder what happened to this lady?

I kinda miss her and her awesome music. Nelly Furtado had that genre of being so mad at everything else but still wishful. Her voice is distinct and I could never mistake her music for someone else since the time she broke Pop Music to pieces... remember she went out when Britney and the others were around so she was really unique at that time!

How about you guys?! Who do you miss most? Let me know!

Proud to have Yellow Cards

I am so humbled to be of service in this government of President NOY and I will do my best to be a great part of this change he wants to inculcate to his countrymen. I also wanted to have my own yellow business cards so everything would jive to the symbolism of hope and change in his regime. I want to be a part of the solution by doing my job well and that requires so little effort since I have been doing that for the last 6 years of my professional life.



I remember the time when I met some of my former colleagues in Social Security and my former boss asked me if I had a business card so we can get together sometime soon. I immediately panicked and checked my wallet for some extras but lo and behold I didn't have any. I was really humiliated and felt very unprofessional that exact moment and wished that I had those unique ones I saw on line. That would have been impressive with the titles and all.

If I had myself inspired with the President's official color and the great attitude towards change in the government then I would be the envy of my peers. Envy in a good way that they will try their best in whatever they do even in the private sector. If I had my way I'd be getting mine customized since I want to represent a generation of people. Yellow is my color of choice, you should do the same!

Blogetery Back From Cemetery

If you are one of the users of Blogetery you might be in for a surprise. The service provider Burst.net has been ordered to have the service back again and this means the owner will be given a copy of around 70,000 users blogs since they were shut down a couple of months ago due to accusations of violations in its terms of service. The Russian owner Alexander Yusupov is seeking help of lawyers in this long battle and I'm sure the 5th Amendment will come to play since it was shut down without informing the owner and was only doing it with FBI authorities.

A lot of questions came into mind. Was public safety really in question here?! There are some links to bomb making sites as accorded by the FBI but these are probably mere accusations. They should have given him time to have it moderated and at least a chance to have the offenders taken off like most blog hosts would do but to suspend the whole 70,000 population is just preposterous. Why in the world were they given authority to do that?! Where is free speech in this sense?! I know there will be some people that would gladly take the case and get him paid dearly. Site owners should know their rights and I hope this guy gets the proper amount of money from damages he incurred in the business. After all he did probably put that up for the same reason, just business and nothing else. If there were unscrupulous individuals doing the links then they should have been just suspended and had him informed about it.

Smartphone Sales in the US

I have seen the best and the worst in the phone markets in Asia, Europe and in the US. I am involved in the mobile phone retail sector and these smart phones are part of that. The prices have been pretty competitive in the smart phone sector and I'm sure it wouldn't be a pretty sight for some of the brands this year. True enough the GOOGLE Nexus One took a mighty blow when it decided to stop sales of this press worthy gadget in the US. I got a chance to see this particular bit with a friend from work who was doing some tests for wireless Internet connection and file transfer capabilities. At first, I knew the software choices were going to be less than the great competitor Apple IPHONE. Function wise some of the software available on these devices were not bug free. Coding and properly marketing these certain components are vital to the development of more proprietary software. Sales did not pick up even after all the promising reviews and a dismal number of handsets were only released. Only the other telephone operators outside the US would now be able to release this device. They are possibly also looking for some ways to launch a Nexus II if everything works out price wise.

I hope it comes close to IPHONE and Sidekick Sales in the near future since development for better software would trigger a wider choice as far as smart phones are concerned. How cheap they can sell these handsets would depend on market demand and raw materials. Free applications wouldn't hurt too!

You Can Do Better! Go UE RED WARRIORS!

Okay so the UE Red Warriors lost their first two games. How do I tell you guys to step it up?! How do I tell you that there are a few people disappointed; but still support you all the way? What would I feel after seeing you lose another one? I am optimistic don't get me wrong... but if you want to do something about it... NOW would be a good time to do so.
I am a full blooded warrior. My Dad was a warrior, my Mom studied and taught in UE a few years back. I have but the highest regards with my Alma Mater and who wouldn't, I got my Computer Engineering degree there too. As far as I'm concerned, I have all the reasons to subliminally support you guys no matter what. These past few games though; when we are all rooting for them till our throat erupts, I somehow felt quite bad about you not winning. I understand you feel the same. This I think is the best time to analyze what went wrong. Why are there no Assistant Coaches available on the bench?[Even my Dad could do it! (^_^) do you need ones who can work pro bono?!] Are we running out of coaching staff? Is administration to blame for on the recent losses? Budget? Gameplay? Or did the other school just played better?! I guess it is bad to put an accusing finger to anyone at this point but I together with the thousands of people who support the UE Red Warriors want to know how we could help. Don't you know your online popularity is phenomenal?!
Hayyy.. (-_-)".... You know what guys, I've never considered myself a fan, but a part of the team. I am supporting you no matter what. I'm glad I got that out. Paul Lee is doing a damn fine job, but please Coach, stop experimenting while the game is on. We (including me!) need to help out each other, step up Martinez's fast plays, have the centers go faster up and down the court and get the guards to be lethal on the outside. The rookie free throw shots would have done a mile if the didn't miss that much like the last games. I'm pretty sure the next ones would be a cinch if we all work together. Coach Chiongson and the rest of whats left with your coaching staff, please work on it. I together with the Red Tribe and the THOUSANDS who believe in you; will never back out! You got my support! We may have lost some games but I believe the WAR hasn't been won yet! Let's show them how tough the warriors are!

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?!

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Nicolas Cage and Jay Baruchel leads this not so magical movie in the theaters nationwide. Yes it was a little disappointing to tell you honestly because I really expected a lot with this movie. Why in the world would you cast someone like Nicolas Cage in the first place?! Was he used efficiently acting wise?! I doubt it.

When the movie started I had a hunch it was going to be graphics wise a failure. It wasn't spectacular enough. Every bit of it was mediocre. Well the large metal animals like the bull and eagle were not. That's beside the point though because if they could get something like that spectacular the small things like plasma and fire should have been better, after all it was the staple offensive magic that they used for the film.

The magic done on the fight scenes were too small to damage anyone. The final one with Morgana was the same too. It could have been better to do a dragon ball like energy shot rather than a few fairy like electricity balls. Any person could have survived that attack. If they are planning to do a sequel with this one I'm not going to be surprised if it doesn't perform in the box office. It is just hype that made me watch this I guess plus the fact that Nicolas Cage was in it.

Would I recommend you to watch a story about a boy who is a near relative of Merlin who had 3 apprentice magic users that later on became 1) an antagonist of Nicolas Cage and 2) his girlfriend?! The answer is a big NO. There are a lot better movies out there than this one unfortunately. Maybe kids would love this but with the romantic scenes on it, I think they marked it PG13. Would it have that hype without magic or Nicolas Cage on it?! Hell no!

This only will get 2 out of 5 kumags, at least it was descent.

Life with Music, Art, Beer and an awesome DJ!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of goviral. All opinions are 100% mine.

I party hard. That's where the girls are at and when I say we're going to rule the clubs and pubs at night I make sure I leave a mark. I love to get drunk but don't get me wrong; I do it for the right things. After a hard week of sitting in front of the computer dealing with clients here and in the UK I know how to relax and unwind. I grab every opportunity to get the best tasting, ice cold beer when I get the chance. The crisp feeling you get every time you get a sip out of this cold beverage is something that I always look forward to every day of the week. I also love house and trance music. Hearing that beat pound, plus the cold beer, and the little talks with the ladies; make me a happy boy indeed. It makes me realize that it pays to be a single guy in this day and age. I get the chance to party with the best crowd, listen to the best music and bands. That is what DJ CHEEBA can do with beer taps and a couple of hundred of LED lit bottles. If there was a DJ to be idolized in the club circuits, this guy takes art and music into a whole new level! I am really impressed!

BECK'S VIER is special. They take their Music Inspires Art Program to unparalleled heights. Imagine the talent and technology that has gone into each configured beer tap just to produce immeasurable awesome sound that would be the delight of anyone watching the spectacle. I am just at awe! Take a look at it and you'll know why I love the concept. All the things I go out in the clubs for were right in front of me. I think I'll try getting a DJ as excellent as that when my birthday comes. I would also get the best, great tasting beer that comes with it too! I would get that beer below zero and have a really good time with my friends and that old BECKS VIER! Let's drink to that!

Craving for Irish Breakfast!

I miss the things I used to eat when my brother was here preparing my favorite Irish breakfast. I love those slightly fried potatoes that are pre boiled and those oh scrumptious sausages. I wonder how my Mum would be able to recreate this simple meal for me on occasions that I crave for it. I have to go there late this year so I could see the sights and drop by those pubs I frequent before. I have to also do landscapes and I'm sure those green hills and cliffs won't disappoint me. My brother will be coming home too. As soon as he gets his chef hat parked on our door I'll force him to make one for me! Or else! Ha-ha!

A variety of side dishes are on my mind right now like cherry tomatoes and mushrooms. I bet it will work greatly with tea and a spritz of milk. I won't hold back on chutney or jam made from apricots and heaping slices of butter on hot toast. I really wonder where that famine went when Ireland is so full of these. I'll prepare a big amount so I can fix that vacation soon. He invited me anyway so I'm gonna be really gunning for that! When can I start wearing my tap shoes so I can do it with those dancers that fire up on riverdance! ^_^ I'm sure it'll be a blast!

It's a Man's meal!

Party Preparations Start Now!

I know how to throw parties and as a matter of fact I have hosted a lot of them over the year. The pain of preparing for something out of the ordinary is the one that makes or breaks it. If there are some instances of craziness you can always say it is excusable. I love the part where we often dress up in costumes. I throw that twice a year either on Halloween or another holiday I can think of. Everyone complies too and it would not be such a phenomenon to see someone in Scooby Doo Costumes or Shaggy for that matter. I also put in some mystery games when I do it in large houses. It makes the event extra special!

I would not stop my friends from coming over, get drunk or dress up whatever they want just as long as they have fun. I don't let the drivers drink of course! Believe me I have actually hooked up a lot of friends in parties that I host and I'm not in the mood to stop now. I have one next month and preparations start as early as now. Do you know how I can integrate Toga's in the next one? I need a lot of white sheets too so its going to cost me a lot. If I am lucky I can get my former classmates to join in too. It has been twenty years since we met so if that isn't reason enough to get this party started; I just don't know what else is! It is also going to be extra special because of the costumes! Let's get this party started!
