MENUDO

what? another boyband?!

Two generations later – a new, updated version of MENUDO is back, with a contemporary sound and look, and the same universal appeal.

The new group came together on the MTV & MTV Tr3s reality series Making Menudo. Viewers watched the dramatic competition week after week, as fifteen young Latinos, chosen from nationwide search went through a demanding “boy-band boot camp” designed by legendary pop impresario Johnny Wright to train and choose the five best suited for the even harder job of working professionally as a performing team.

FYI, Johnny Wright is the producer of the disbanded NSync! i just wish they'll make it in the music industry today when nobody listens to POP music anymore, where boyband doesn't sell at all. I think everybody listens to Rcok music nowadays! Well, good luck to this group!

I just found myself listening to their new song (oo na cheap ako tpos paulit-ulit ko pang pineplay at pinanonood ang video na to..tseh) it's so addictive! somebody please help me get this out of my system please! please! please!

can't get over it!

i was so sad that i've already finished reading the Twilight series. i can feel the rush inside me slowing down. i can still remember everything i've gone thru in completing the series. the almost 6 hrs quest of finding the last installment which started from Robinson's Ermita to SM Mall of Asia and the sleepless days! the book really captured all my senses. in fact, i'm rereading the first book. if i could memorize the book i would really do it but it's beyond impossible. what i want is to be familiar with them, every important details and names so that if in case, there's a Twilight quiz, then i would surely get a 100 percent!

whew! i could truly say that i'm a certified Twilight addict!

i hope other Twilight readers enjoyed reading the book as much as i did. =)

edward cullen is the answer?

Charming, polite, determined, and very stubborn, this is how Bella describes Edward in the Twilight series.

He's impossibly beautiful. She compares him to the mythical Greek god Adonis. His skin is "like marble"– very pale, ice cold, and sparkles in the sunlight. She describes his facial features as being perfect and angular - high cheekbones, strong jawline, a straight nose, and beautiful,

full lips. His hair,
which is always in casual disarray, retains the unusual bronze shade that he inherited in his human life from his biological mother. His eyes, once emerald green, are now described as a liquid, golden topaz. His fingers are described often as slender and he is said to have a dazzlingly crooked smile. His appearance changes if he goes long without feeding: his eyes darken, becoming almost black, and purple bruises appear beneath his eyes. Edward stands at 6'2", and has a slender but muscular body

He possesses superhuman beauty, strength, speed, endurance, and agility. His scent and voice are enormously seductive, so much so that he occasionally sends Bella into a pliant daze entirely by accident.

there you go..words that best describe edward cullen.

Crush!

at last! Archie's first single and firt MTV ever for his up coming album was released. it's kinda cute. i feel like i'm on my teenage years again... i miss the old days..i love watching the view on this video..it's so refreshing (me masabi lang hahaha)

Thunder by Boys Like Girls

i was curious about this band. i was there when they hit Glorieta for their mall tour this month. i only knew 2 songs from their album and those were like popular singles (The Great Escape and Hero/Heroine). i was so lucky that after browsing the net, i was able to check this new video and not to mention my favorite song on the album! the song's titled Thunder. i have the lyrics below =)

Today is a winding road
Thats taking me to places that I didnt want to go, whoa
Today in the blink of an eye
Im holding on to something and I do not know why I tried

I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation; what Im feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe theres a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I dont wanna ever love another
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start and tell me something I dont know, whoa
Today Im on my own
I cant move a muscle and I cant pick up the phone, I dont know

And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside, just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe theres a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I dont wanna ever love another
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Yeah Im walking on a tightrope
I'm wrapped up in vines
I think Ill make it out but you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road
Thats taking me to places that I didnt want to go, whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I dont wanna ever love another
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh baby bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder

keeps gettin' better

i missed Christina Aguilera's performance during the MTV VMA 2008. i never knew that she will be performing because she doesn't have a new album until i heard the news on the web.

i downloaded a video of this from Youtube to my iPod and boy oh boy it was indeed very fantastic!

the new mix for the song "Gennie in a Bottle" as the opening for her new single "Keeps Gettin' Better" proved that she's really getting better from the time she started until now. with her good voice and a more developed dancing skill, she's really grown into a very great performer. she's changed a lot. she's not afraid of trying new things and she doesn't care of what others may say about her. she's always been labeled trashy and her fashion sense doesn't approve fashion critics..oh come on, give her a break, we have the right to wear whatever we want to wear ayt?

anyway, in the performance she played a super heroine with outfit inspired by catwoman and storm of x-men. i've never seen her perform this grand because usually, she sings her ballad. i was stunned by this performance and i can't wait to see the MTV of this new single. you will not hear her scream in this song compared to her other singles. and the beat? i just love dancing to it. the lyrics though has some vulgar words on it like bitch and damn...but damn it can be ignored. hahaha.
" Some days I'm a super bitch
Up to my old tricks
But it won't last forever
Next day I'm your super girl
Out to save the world
And it keeps gettin' better."

that's how she put it.

she really keeps on gettin' better!

The Twilight Series

17-year-old Isabella Swan, or Bella, moves from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington, to live with her father, Charlie. She misses Phoenix terribly, but quickly becomes intrigued with the Cullens, especially the exquisite Edward Cullen. At first, it would seem that Edward hates her, but eventually, Bella deduces that Edward does not hate her, but instead stays away from her to save her own life because he is a vampire. The two fall in love with each other, but because of issues with their races, they are not able to fully express themselves. Throughout Twilight, several life-threatening situations occur, but none are as climactic as when vampires who do not fit in with the Cullens diet of animals come to Forks. Instead, they feed on humans.



Bella Swan celebrates her 18th birthday with her vampire boyfriend, Edward Cullen, but an accident abruptly ends the occasion. Soon after, Edward, the light of her life, tells her that their relationship must end and that he is leaving. Bella slips into a depression, but is rescued by an old friend, Jacob Black. She tries moving on with her life, but she soon finds that it might not be so easy to forget Edward Cullen and her vampire friends.





Seattle has been hit by numerous killings and there is a vengeful vampire on the loose and she is looking for Bella. Yet again, Bella Swan find herself surrounded by danger, but she now has a new predicament on top of that - she is stuck between her love for Edward Cullen and her friendship with Jacob Black. The two are opposing forces and Bella cannot seem to find which side pulls her more. For both everything is on the line, for which ever side wins this battle will finally end the war.




It seemed so blissful - Bella and Edward are getting married - finally. A romantic honeymoon, a supportive group of family and friends, who would want anything more? How could anything go wrong? But of course, one of the most unexpected things happens and Bella and Edward are caught between the life they already had planned to a tee, or if they are willing to forgo it all to take the untried path and let fate lead them. And of course, who could forget about the Volturi who are never too far away - always willing to throw a major thorn into the side of the Cullens and everything they stand for.



there you have it. the summary of the Twilight series. if you're looking for some "kilig" factor, you can find it on the first book. the second and third book has some boring parts but it was in these books that secrets has been answered. well, the last installment got me tongue-tied and a little bit emotional. Bella did not give me a headache this time with her relationship with Edward and Jacob.

i can't get over with these books. i'll read them again! ciao!

we are two years old now!

time flies so fast it was just like yesterday! i never thought i would grow in this company (grow daw!)
when i started, all i have in mind was to quit (hanggang ngayon parin naman e!). but of course i can't do that because i need a job. i love working in this company not because i'm earning a great deal of money but because i love working with the people around me. i think without them, i would've gone crazy with this job. they're the reason why i'm still here..standing..growing..learning and developing!

2 years and i've learned so many things in this job.
the bond with my friends (i don't call them co-workers) was tightened. some of them already resigned and some of them are still fighting like me.
i've gone to a lot of places through team buildings and outings that took away pressures and stress. got promoted and got coached..i've really gone a long way.

happy anniversary to my batchmates, the survivors: MITCH,MICKEY,ZIZZY,CATHE and ATE MAU!

2 years and still counting...

WET PANTS

This story was emailed to me by a friend..

Come with me to a third grade classroom..... There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and the front of his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened. It's never happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.

The boy believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his head down and prays this prayer, "Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat."

He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.

As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water. Susie trips in front of the teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in the boy's lap.

The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying to himself, "Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!"

Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy is the object of sympathy. The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out. All the other children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful. But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his has been transferred to someone else - Susie.

She tries to help, but they tell her to get out. You've done enough, you klutz!"

Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Susie whispers back, "I wet my pants once too."

May God help us see the opportunities that are always around us to do good..
Remember.....Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.

Each and everyone one of us is going through tough times right now, but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can. Keep the faith

for the first time

gusto ko sana magblog ng maayos tungkol sa ngyari sakin kanina pero walang smart thoughts na lumalabas sa basa kong utak.

i woke up early. i was afraid of the lightning. di naman malakas ang ulan ng gumising ako pero nkareceive na ko ng text message sa TL ko na dressdown daw.yep nagdressdown nga ako. i was in my maong pants, long-sleeve with a scarf and my black pointed leather shoes. that's dressdown!

i wasn't expecting na marami palang stranded passengers sa Buendia. i was shocked. i thought it would be as easy as one of the rainy days i encountered on that place. i was stucked on that place for about an hour. i was really irritated. konti lang yung mga bus at jeep na bumabyahe. is there really a storm? the rain's not that hard except the frightening lightning.

at dahil sa antagal ko lang rin naman na nakatambay sa Buendia, kasama ang napakaraming tao, nagdesisyon akong hintayin na lang si yumi my love para maglakad na lang kami. mys shift's at 10 pm. yumi arrived at 9:55. so we started our journey til the welcome to Makati shrine. i don't know if that's a shrine..it's somewhere near Batangas. we stopped because of the flood. we're on our shoes and i don't want to swim.

we rode on a pd cab. whew! it was really an adventure. napakataas ng baha at nabasa kami ni yumi in the end.pumapasok kasi yung tubig pag may dumadaan na mga sasakyan. basa pants ko pati shoes. we paid 150 pesos. that's how we love our job! gagawin lahat di lang umabsent.

napakadumi ng pakiramdam ko. bumili ako ng alcohol at medyas tapos i contacted mitch, i asked her to bring me shorts and shirt.and what would you expect her to bring? siyempre, pambabaeng damit :( no choice eh.i felt like i was a cross-dresser =(

pagdating ko sa floor, i stripped down.wahahaha buti nalang may naiwan akong jacket sa locker. walang akong shorts so i borrowed joi's blanket at nagtapis ako. when mitchie arrived, dun na ko nkapagshorts. waah..

it was indeed an adventure. it was yucky because we're all wet but it wasn't bad at all because i'm with a friend. that thought made my day exciting.
