Pilipinas Got Talent's auditions

The Philippines, the country of 7107 islands. A country with a very vibrant culture, with amazing people. The Filipinos are undeniably talented, especially in dancing and singing. To name some famous people: Lea Salonga, Charice, Apl.De.Ap from Black Eye Peas. See? :)

And they have no lack of reality-talent shows. It was the premiere of the 1st Pilipinas Got Talent last weekend, and boy, I had a good laugh, and of course, the amazing ones are equally entertaining.

Introducing to you the future singing sensations. Haha.





**Happy birthday to my godson, Ryzel! Maligayang kaarawan! :)**

Chinese New Year 2010

As I keep saying, if given a choice (and money), I would rather spend the Chinese New Year in some other country, away from the hype, the dong-dong-chiang music, and avoid being asked the same questions again and again.

Not that I'm ignoring the family. I give ang baos to the senior ones. But I guess I'm just slowly drifting away.

Because of my jetsetting habits last year and probably this year, I didn't get to go anywhere but to stay at home. It has be a long time since I get to sleep till 11+am. A luxury. Haa. And for the past few days, life has been tidbits-tv-movies-sleep. What a life.

Alas, holidays will still come to an end. Let's hope that I won't oversleep tomorrow for work, and I think I should go on caffeine-high to keep myself awake.

Piolo Pascual - Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Papa Piolo!!! :D

What a beautiful sunset, but that's not the point. Papa P throughout the entire video. Love it! :D

This song is part of his latest album Decades, featuring songs from the 50s, 60s and 70s. And yes, I've already gotten hold of the album during my trip back to the Philippines last December. A Christmas present from a friend. :)

You're just too good to be true.. Can't take my eyes off you~~ :)

May Bukas Pa

May Bukas Pa has finally come to an end.

The final episode was a star-studded one, many stars of ABS-CBN including those who have guested in the teleserye, came together to put up a grand finale. It left me in tears, from the beginning to the end. From tears of sorrow, to tears of joy.

May Bukas Pa (yuhui's translation: There's Still Tomorrow) has left a very deep impression in many Filipinos, since it started airing early last year. It is a story of a young boy named Santino, who befriends 'Bro' (Jesus Christ) and touches the lives of people who come along.



Never underestimate the 'power' of this miracle boy and the teleserye. Despite his young age (he's only 8!), Zaijan's expressive acting skills and his cute face would just melt your heart, and make you fall in love with him. :) Imagine, the show has gained so much popularity that it could last for a year! Not only that, the ABS-CBN's Christmas ID last year was themed as 'Bro, ikaw ang star ng Pasko' (yuhui's translation: Bro, You are the Star of Christmas).



For the past year, I've been watching every single episode, without fail. I love Santino, I love the fathers and brothers in the church, I love the entire cast. And now with the ending of the show, I feel sad. No more Santino, no more Bro, no more Father Jose and Father Anthony. No more.



Salamat, May Bukas Pa, for being with me for the past year. Let's hope for a Part 2. :)

Richard Poon - Kahit Di Mo Napapansin

This is one of my favourites of Richard Poon's - Kahit Di Mo Napapansin (yuhui's translation: Even If You Are Not Noticing).

This song is from his first album released in 2007, it may not be one of the major hits, but I still love it. :) Richard penned the song!

So happy that they decided to make a MTV for it, and it was officially released last Sunday. :)

Still hoping to get to see him in person. 'Bro, pwede ba?' :)
