Dara's made it!

Sandara Park is a Koren national who went to the Philippines for a spell, joined a reality teen search and became popular, a household name, in fact. But at the peak of her career, she opted to go back to South Korea to try her luck there. When she came back to Manila, she’s not as hot anymore. So she left again and went back to South Korea with her family.

After a spell, we just heard that she’s now called Dara and is a member of the popular K-pop group 2NE1! Great to know that she finally made it!

To show how popular she is in South Korea right now, here is a music video/tv commercial of a brand named “Cass”, a beer or soda drink, if I am not mistaken. And it features Sandara Park or Dara with the equally popular Lee Min-Ho of the famous tv series Boys Over Flowers…

She’s huge in SKorea, don’t you think? I’m happy for her!

Freshman College

I saw this video at PerezHilton.com and he is right… bloody amazing!!! Check it out below…

That was Coldplay featuring Gary Barlow of Take That singing Back For Good! This song was one of my favorite songs in the 90s. Love, love, love it!

My frustration is…

If there is one frustration I have in life, that’s I cannot carry a tune Kaya I listen na lang instead. Hehehe…

I wish I could sing ala Nina. I’ve watched her perform live and it’s worth your every cent. She’s a great singer, underrated actually. Last I’ve seen her on tv was at ASAP but I don’t know if she’s still a mainstay there.

What I like about her is that she does not scream out a song’s lyrics, unlike other local female singers. Plus, she does not go around creating unnecessary gimmicks so people will notice her.

So without further ado, here’s a video of Nina’s Fall For You. (more…)

I miss FRIENDS!

I still watch re-runs and would pop in the DVD when I want to watch a certain episode

OMG! Newest Official Twilight Trailer!

Rumors flying: Sharon and Kiko are now separated!

Rumors are spreading like wildfire. It is the hottest talk of local showbiz. Sharon Cuneta, the country’s megastar and Senator Kiko Pangilinan are already separated! Close friends are denying the rumors, saying that the couple are just taking some “alone time” right now. Sharon is reportedly in Hongkong with the couple’s two daughters, Frankie and Miel, with some of Sharon’s closest friends.

If you remember, this is not the first time a rumor like this about the couple circulated. Several times rumors have spread about the couple separating. One of the rumors had it that Senator Kiko has a girlfriend, one of his staff at the Senate. At another rumor, it was said that Senator Kiko has a kid by another woman. They denied all the rumors. But if you think about it, why the persistent rumor of their marriage being on the rocks, right?

Senator Kiko is reportedly running for a higher position come 2010 elections. I think he will do everything he can to cover this up if it’s true. What do you think?
