The leading mobile phone supplier in the Philippines has an interesting contest close to any MP3 lover's heart... or should I say, ear.

A hundred of my friends in my own ostantatious party?! I don't get that everyday! That's why I've already uploaded my own playlist and will just keep creating! (Finally my Music Highlights section will be put into good use!) XD

Oh sorry, I keep blabbing about my own thing, go join too! We are friends right? So however wins invites each other to their parties! ;-p

Visit http://nokia-ph.com/myplaylist/, register and start making your playlist now!

Success right on the dot

Music Break!

We all have busy lives (and it's pretty obvious to me because I can't update my blog on a daily basis) but now is the time to stop and smell the roses... well for that matter, stop whatever it is you're doing and get yourselves updated on the latest hits!

Let's pump things up with a sexier Lady Gaga in her newest song, Love Game (Got to love the way she puts it!).




Another sing and dance diva releases a single that is slowly making it's way up the billboard charts, here's Sasha Fierce in Halo. (ooohohh~ XD)




Speaking of the billboard charts, here's the one that's on top.. yes it's the Black Eyed Peas in a "futuristic" (?) graphical video in Boom Boom Pow!




Aside from possible songs for LSS (Last song syndrome), you might like Metro Station's latest single as they get away to being Seventeen Forever.




Secondhand Serenade also has their own release and it's called Your Call.




After Every Man for Himself (2006 album release), Hoobastank surprisingly Crawls out of the Dark with new members and a new single called So Close, So Far.

And wrapping things up, David Cook stirs the hearts of the heartbroken in his latest song, Come Back To Me. (Funny how the video doesn't match the song though. XD)

(I can't find an official video for embedding so just watch it here.)

Panliligaw Tips by BOB ONG

I do not own this message in anyway. It was a circulating email that was forwarded by a friend and made a lot of [positive] fuss (when I posted it in Facebook) that I decided to post it here also! Haha, Wala lang! ~:D

Dear Mr. Bob Ong,

Matagal ko na pong nililigawan itong chik na nakilala ko recently sa isang party. Nasisiraan na ako ng bait. Pag nakilala mo siya, tiyak matutunaw ang utak mo sa kakaisip sa kanya.

Hingi lang po ako ng advice. Paano ko po siya mapapaibig? Bibigyan ko ba siya ng tula? Haharanahin ko ba siya? Roses? Kalachuchi? Chocnut at sampaguita?

In lab na po ako. Ano po ang gagawin ko? Is she the one?

Lubos na gumagalang,
CHINO

Dear CHINO,

Hindi ka talaga sasagutin niyang nililigawan mo. Napaka-old school kasi ng mga tactics mo. Wala nang gumagawa ng ganyan. Sa panahon ngayon, lahat ng bagay, nagtaas na. Nagtaas na ang gasolina, nagtaas na ang presyo ng bigas at mga bilihin, nagtaas na ang pamasahe, at lalong nagtaas na rin ng standards ang mga babae. Hindi na uubra yang siopao at suman mo. Lalo na yung huli mong binigay, hopia at santan. Ano ba pare? Ano'ng era ka ba pinanganak?

Pero don't worry. It's not too late. May pag-asa ka pa. Hindi pa naman siya kinakasal at di pa niya sinasagot yung crush niya na basketball player. Kahit lamang siya ng sampung paligo sa'yo, daanin mo sa utak at creativity. Dahil aminin na natin, iyon na LANG talaga ang pag-asa mo. Heto, bibigyan kita ng mga simple, tried and tested na mga regalo para di siya mapurga sa hopia at siomai. Sundin mo 'to, tiyak na lalaglag ang bagang niya sa'yo. Mga medyo more than your usual regalong panligaw:

1. Bili ka ng century tuna. Ilagay mo sa isang napakalaking box—yung sinlaki ng TV o kaya box ng desktop PC mo. Tapos balutan mo ng magarang pambalot. Kuntsabahin mo na yung teacher niya sa Calculus. Sa gitna ng klase, bigla kang kumatok sa classroom. Pero dapat, incognito ka. Magsuot ka ng LBC jacket, magshades, at magsuot ng surgical mask. Pagpasok mo sa classroom, iabot mo yung box sa teacher, at papirmahin mo ng acknowledgement receipt. Tapos pabuksan mo in front of everyone. Tignan mong mabuti ang reaction sa mukha niya.

Later during the day, pag tinanong niya kung bakit Century Tuna ang binigay mo, iikot mo yung lata at ituro mo yung sign na "Omega 8." Pag tinanong niya kung ano yung Omega 8, sabihin mo: "because you're good for my heart."

2. Mangolekta ka ng isang dosenang hanger na libre mong nakukuha tuwing nagpapa-dry clean ka. Tapos, sa bawat hanger, isulat mo: "I miss hanging out with you."

3. Instead of roses, kuha ka ng tissue paper sa banyo ng school mo. Gawin mong tissue paper roses. Gawa ka ng isang dosena. Pag-abot mo, sabihin mo, "Ganito kalinis ang pag-ibig ko sa'yo."

4. Bili ka ng tetra pack ng mantikang Minola. Tapos bilugan mo yung "with Omega 8." Hindi na siya magtatanong kung bakit.

5. Bigyan mo ng ice cream cone. Dapat cone lang at walang ice cream. Pag hinanap niya yung ice cream, sabihin mo, "natunaw na kakatitig sa'yo."

6. Bili ka ng sandosenang box ng crayola. Kolektahin mo lahat ng black. Lagay mo sa isang box ng crayola. Sa likod, isulat mo: "Walang kulay ang buhay kung wala ka."

7. Bigyan mo siya ng mumurahing bumbilya. Alam mo na siguro by this time kung ano ang isasagot pag tinanong niya kung bakit.

8. Itext mo siya ng: "Hindi tayo tao, hindi tayo hayop, hindi tayo halaman. Bagay tayo. Bagay!"

9. Bigyan mo siya ng calling card ng MMDA. Sa likod, isulat mo "para pag nagkabanggaan ang puso natin."

10. Padalhan mo ng Happy Meal pero huwag mong ibibigay yung libreng laruan. Paghinanap niya, sabihin mo: "Ako yung freebie, at ikaw yung meal na nagpapahappy sa'kin."

11. Sunugin ang kanyang bahay at padalhan ng hallmark card: "aanhin mo pa ang bahay mo, kung matagal ka nang nakatira sa puso ko"

12. Pagkatapos sunugin ang kanyang bahay, padalhan siya ng isang box ng posporo, Guitar brand. unahan ang kanyang galit at sabihin, "ayan ang posporo na ginamit ko sa pagsunog ng iyong bahay, match na tayo"

13. Sa kalagitnaan ng isang malupit na bagyo, pasalubungan sya ng "salbabida", wag payong, o mainit na mami. Pag nagtanong bkt? ang isagot mo ay " ayaw kong malunod ka sa pag mamahal ko."

14. Pag pumayag na siyang makipagdate, dalhin mo siya sa canteen at huwag bibitawan ang kamay. Pag tinanong niya kung bakit, ituro mo yun sign na "don't leave your valuables unattended"


Handang tumulong lagi,
Bob Ong

Long live baduy courting methods and Omega 8! XD

MJ kid: Shaheen Jafargholi

After internet sensation Susan Boyle, a 12-year Shaheen Jafargholi from possesses more talent than everyone thought. Singing Amy Winehouse's "Valerie" he was stopped by Simon Cowell after a verse saying it wasn't the right song for him. On his feet and given another chance to pick a new song, has chose to sing "Who's Loving You" by Michael Jackson during his Jackson Five days.

And the result, watch it and get goosebumps yourself!

...So has Susan finally met her ultimate competitor in this season?! Both of them has stunned the judges, the audience and everyone else who wasn't first slightly interested. But now my eyes and ears will be watching out for Britain's [definately] Got Talent!

Susan Boyle's got Talent!

I'm not a fan of reality TV shows, let alone the likes of American Idol or Britain's Got Talent. But going through my usual Facebook, I saw this Fan page of someone named Susan Boyle. Not knowing her, I wondered how come she had many fans despite her well, first impressions... And with curiosity kicking in, I find her in the internet and knew why she was a sudden media hit.

Susan Boyle, a contestant in Britain's Got Talent indeed has someone thing up in her 47-year-old sleeve! Who would have thought this 'unpolished', amateur singer and church volunteer from Scotland, had a voice that are for the gods that it made the audience rise up from their seats and give her an early standing ovation, not to mention the priceless looks on the judges, specially being tagged as "The Woman who Shut Up Simon Cowell"!


Watch her STUNNING performance last April 11 which has gained more than 33 million+ views in a short span of time!

Guess who's back? (Back again!)

...Guess who's back? Eminem's back again! As the rapper announces his return to the airwaves, he makes a big comeback with his hilarious new video "We Made You" in his upcoming album entitled 'Relapse'. See celebs such as Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, Sarah Palin, Lindsay Lohan, Bret Michaels and Amy Winehouse be among who gets the highlight of the Slim Shady’s jokes this time around!

This may not be the best single he has under his sleeves yet but this video is indeed hilarous although I hope he raps like the old times! (Oh and forgive the only working vid I could find, it seems to be inverted and I don't know why that is ~_~")



Speaking of alter ego's, here's Beyonce a.k.a. Sasha Fierce in her latest single "Diva"(and no this is not a Soprano-type of singing!XD) The song is good enough to bring to the dance floor however Sasha Fierce's yet another B&W video (and should i emphasize POORLY MADE VIDEO) that makes me question her new liking into this kind of MTV...) Na na na na na... (there goes the LSS!)



As some improve or sadly fall back, Enrique Inglesias finally steps out of his comfort zone! From his usual latin/mellow love songs comes a new beat in Takin' Back My Love featuring Ciara.



Moving on, Jadakiss has Neyo by his side in By My Side (and I don't mean it in a broke-back way. XD)



And ending this post with a less rappy tune, here's Miley Cyrus in The Climb, OST to her Hanna Montana Movie (which I hear is a movie you'll sleep on unless you're a fan). It's a nice song if you take it out of the whole 'kiddie impression' though.

Beat Duplicity!

For weeks I've been pretty busy with life that I didn't even get to update myself with the latest hits! And finally getting the chance, here are pop duet songs that have been burning in the charts to date!

To get things started, let's heat things up with Ciara and Justin Timberlake as they set some sexy beat in Love Sex Magic.



Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat share a sweet song in Lucky (but unfortunately, the video could have been better)



and James Morrison features Nelly Furtado in Broken Strings. (Gotta love the bursting effects in the video but most importantly, it's Nelly! Nellllyyy! <3)



Keri Hilson isn't left behind as she Knocks You Down in this song (and with the new haircut!) with Kanye West and Neyo!



and lastly, Akon teams up with Colby O'Donis and Kardinal Offishall in Beautiful.



Another set of Music Highlights coming up!
