Again and again

This song We Found Love by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris is being played again and again by yours truly.

I just love the song! I also love the acoustic cover by Boyce Avenue. That Alejandro Manzano and his equally talented brother Daniel are good with their covers. And both are good looking!

Try listening to any of their cover songs and you will get hooked!

The hot musician!

My friends and I went to a bar to have some drinks about a month ago. One of our former high school classmates invited us there as he knew the band playing a gig that night. We had our drinks, plates of finger foods, and a lively discussion of a lot of stuff. We were not really minding the band already playing an hour after we got there until we heard a different tune being played. A hot musician came on stage to join the band and he played a harmonica. And, boy, did that harmonica came to life!

He was really good with his harmonica, blended so well with the rest of the band, and he was hot! I mean good looking sexy kind of hot guy!

Needless to say the discussions ceased until the hot musician went off stage.

Hahaha!

Privacy valued.

People value their privacy a lot. Some people more than the others. I believe the latter category has the celebrities under it. These people value their privacy like a valuable asset they need to guard against robbers. I know because there was once a celebrity who lived in the neighborhood and he always had his faux wood blinds on. No matter what time of the day and even if the rain was pouring hard, you could look out the window and see only his blinds on.

I think the blinds gave him a semblance of a wall against the public. His house was his sanctuary and he didn’t want anyone going past those blinds and mess with his quiet life. When he moved, that’s when neighbors saw what a beautiful interior he had.

Cute little girl

I don’t know her name really but I saw her in Youtube singing Rolling in the Deep by Adele. She was of Latin descent if I am not mistaken. She was really cute and her voice as powerful as that of Adele and I remember she was wearing a lovely Bead Bracelet! What a thing to remember! Hahaha!

Anyway, what a voice that little girl has! I say if someone discovers her and gives her a break, she will go places. At probably 8 or 10 years of age she is that good, what more if she is trained and her singing skills honed some more…

Annabelle Rama-Nadia Montenegro telenovela

Annabelle Rama is well-known for being the matriarch of the Gutierrez clan. Wife to Eddie and mother to Ruffa, twins Richard and Raymond, Rocky, Elvis and Richie Paul. She is also known as a talent manager not only to her husband and kids but also to Miriam Quiambao among others. She is fondly called Bisaya in local showbiz as she is a Cebuana with a prominent Visayan accent when she speaks.

Nadia Montenegro, on the other hand, is well-known in local showbiz as the best friend ng bayan. Best friend of this and that celebrity, and formerly of Gretchen Barretto whom she betrayed by exposing to the public her alleged love affair with Dodie Puno while still with Tonyboy Cojuangco.

So they are now feuding, Annabelle and Nadia. Each of them are filing lawsuit after lawsuit against each other. I am telling you it has become a saga that everyone is awaiting the ending of. Nadia accused Anabelle of pimping her two minor daughters, making them wear inappropriate clothes when attending parties with influential men in attendance. She filed a child abuse case against Anabelle who is the manager of her kids. Anabelle, of course, cried foul! She said that Nadia insisted on her managing the latter’s kids and now after helping her kids she will accuse her of being a pimp just so she can nullify the manager-talent contract between Anabelle and her kids. That accusation has branched out into robbery, attempted kidnapping, unjust vexation and a lot more.

So who’s telling the truth between the two?

My bet is that Anabelle is telling the truth! I believe Nadia’s history of betraying even the hands that fed her can stand as an evidence against her. Gretchen fed her and was there for her and her family all those years and look what she did to her? The same can be said of Pops Fernandez whom Nadia also betrayed. Plus, can you really believe someone who married that former mayor Asistio?!?

Blinking sign

The shop at the corner of the street has a blinking sign on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Everyone can see it from blocks away as the sign is huge on top of the establishment’s roof. The sign says “Pizzeria Italia Serving good Italian pizza and pasta since 1983″. My brother and I used to discuss how much the pizzeria’s paying for electricity with that huge blinking sign on all the time. So one time I went in, bought pizza and carbonara and asked the manager about it. He told me not to worry as they are using led lights and those are cost saving kind of lights as it uses less electricity than the normal ones.

No wonder the pizzeria can afford to have that blinking sign on all the time! I asked about the lights and now that I am reminded of it, I will look for the same kind of lights next time I go to the hardware store.

Sexy lady

Angie will go as the sexy lady in the costume party cum shower party that her friends are planning. It’s easier and, well, she also wants to show them her new curves. She’s been on a strict diet for months and months and now she wants to show them the result of all her sacrifices.

But since she is on a budget, she will get cheap lingerie as her costume. Shelling out a bit for the lingerie is okay as she also has to shell out for the potluck and gifts for the pregnant woman ;)

She can’t wait to see their reaction to her new body!

Hobby to business

Matthew has always been great with plants. He was a little kid when he realized that. He always went next-door to his grandpa to help him with his garden. It was there that he honed his skills in gardening, with the help of his grandpa who was a great gardener himself.

So Matt continued with his gardening. His parents knew of his love for gardening so they indulged him and made sure a big space outside their house was allotted for his garden. He had rows of plants, a couple of potted flowers and compost bins he use to ‘fatten’ up all of it.

Now that he’s 23 and with a farm outside the city dedicated to his plants, flowers and a handful of growing trees, he realized he wants to turn his hobby into a business. He is consulting his parents about it and soon he will venture into business with them.

Kevin on Whitney…

The Whitney I knew despite her fame and worldwide success, still asked, ‘Am I still good enough, am I still pretty enough, will they like me?’

It was the burden that made her great and the part that caused her to stumble in the end.

Whitney, if you could hear me now, I would tell you, you weren’t just good enough, you were great, you sang the whole damn song without a band, you made the picture what it was, a lot of leading men could have played my part, a lot of guys could have filled that role.

But Whitney, I truly believe that you are the only one who could have played Rachel Marron at that time.

Kevin Costner, Whitney Houston‘s co-star in The Bodyguard

She could have been greater than Aretha and Etta and the others. But she chose to follow the darker path of life. Too bad.

When not working…

Billy is really busy with work. He has a lot of gigs and it’s eating up his days and nights. Just the other night, he was already telling his people that he will go on a two-week long vacation after his performance in a bar tonight. He needs the rest or he will just keel over and die. But before going on his much-needed vacation, he will go to the Outdoor Store first and shop.

When not working, Billy goes to his mountain retreat. He hikes, camps and fishes. He really indulges in the outdoor activities that he loves and doesn’t have enough time for. He also indulges in the peace and serenity of his mountain retreat and rests as much as he can.

Trust is important.

Before when Alicia is still new in the city, she would trust every person who worked for her. She would give her whole trust and because of that she was fooled twice by her former assistants. She was burned twice and it can’t happen to her anymore. She promised herself that.

So before she trusts any person who works for her, she makes sure she does a thorough background check on the person. She wants to make sure that the person is truly trust worthy and that there is no reason for her to go running away when she is left with the person in a dark place.

Background check and time to prove himself/herself before trust will be given.

Will look good on anything!

There are those among us who will look good on anything, even if the dress he/she is on is a potato sack. Models, really beautiful women, those with classic looks… Mandy is one of those people. She looks good on anything she has on! She doesn’t have to shop for branded items but just have to mix and match what she already has. She looks that good on anything!

She went to this party wearing only a shirt and jeans. She would have looked so plain if no for the steel bracelets she had on. Wow! What a difference the bracelets did on her overall look. She looked stunning even with the simple outfit she put on.

Happy birthday, Professor Snape!

Severus Snape

My favorite Alan Rickman, Harry Potter series’ very own Severus Snape, is celebrating his birthday today…

Happy birthday, Alan/Severus!!!

You are one helluva character/actor and we wish you more success in your craft.

In demand in modeling

I do believe the airbrush tanning machines in the city are very busy these days. You know why? Tanned models are in demand! Big companies are looking for tanned male and female models for their summer campaigns. No wonder models are getting their tan using airbrush machines.

I have a friend who works for a well-known make-up brand. He is the one updating us on what’s happening in the media advertising campaigns. He was the one who told us about how tanned models are in demand by big companies and how they are the ones grabbing the good assignments off fair-complexioned models.

Well, the fair skinned models will have their time soon.

Sharing his talent

Larry is really good with musical instruments. He is partial to his yamaha dgx 640 digital piano, though. He uses it to share his talent to the church choir in which he is a member of. Every Saturday after and Sunday morning, he goes to church to be with his choir mates and they will sing for the mass service.

Larry figured that since he can’t lead the service or assist in it, being with the choir is his own little way of sharing his talent to everyone.
