Music Monday: Two Is Better Than One

I felt so guilty for not having updated this blog for over a month! Things are just so busy nowadays ~~ the year end reports, the house construction, and the approaching tax season. Then, there was a problem with the internet at home, which makes it difficult for me to go online. Anyway, I am so glad to make it to the blogosphere once again, and I am really hoping the internet at home would finally be on its continuing basis, lol!

The first day of the week is here again and so I am much delighted to share with you a very nice song from Boys Like Girls, which is called Two Is Better Than One. My youngest son liked it and I was amazed how he goes along with the song every time he hears it played. Hope you'll enjoy the song too.

Lyrics | Two Is Better Than One lyrics

By the way, this song features Taylor Swift, but she was not shown on the video above. Happy Monday and have a great week ahead!

Music Monday: In Your Eyes

It's a beautiful Monday today, not only because the weather here is good, but because it is my mother's 59th birthday. She is one year shy from reaching the age of retirement, but I am pleased to say that she doesn't look her age. To her:

Another reason for this beautiful Monday is the Music Monday, which I have not participated for two weeks I guess. I will be sharing with you a classic song from George Benson, called In Your Eyes. I love this song because of its wonderful lyrics and melody as well.

Lyrics | George Benson lyrics - In Your Eyes lyrics

Enjoy the song! Have a great Monday and wishing you the best for the week ahead!

Sandara and Cass Beer

I have been a Herosan (Hero-Sandara) follower way way back their Star Circle Quest days. I remembered very well I was still pregnant with my second kid that time, and I never fail to watch the episodes of the reality search show.

Anyway, Sandara has gone back to Korea and as far far as stardom is concerned, she has already become a sensation in Korea. Being part of the famous Korean group 2ne1, Sandara further soared high via her recent commercial featuring a beer brand in Korea. She is paired with no less than Lee Min Hoo (Gu Jun Pyo) of the very renowned Boys over Flower teleseries, and I must admit they are quite a lovely and promising pair.

Here's the preview of the beer commercial:

Sandara Park / Lee Min Hoo - Cass Beer CF

I am hoping they would be given a big break and entertainment bigwigs at Korea would elevate their pairing to the big screen or a television series.

New Moon Trailer

My bad! I am a Twilight fanatci to begin with but I forgot to feature here the recently released trailer for New Moon - - the second book from the Twilight saga. During the MTV Movie Awards held few weeks back, the lead casts had the privilege to unveil the first trailer for the said movie.

Here's the trailer:

Oh well, how I wish November is just around the corner but it seems I have to wait up for 5 more months then.

Basketball All Stars

More than two weeks ago, a group of actors came here in our city to play basketball against the priests. I guess the said event was for a cause but nonetheless we really had a great and fun time watching it. It was like watching a series of skits at a comedy bar and a basketball game at the same time.

The all star group was composed of Christopher de Leon, Philip Salvador, Joko Diaz, Jhong Hilario, Patrick dela Rosa, Carlos Morales, John Hall, Dennis Padilla, Onyok Velasco and Gene Padilla. Keanna Reeves served as their muse, who performed a song and dance number during half time. Hubby and I watched only on the bleachers and I should say it was all worth it because we have seen quite a number of artists in one setting. Of course, I find Christopher very handsome, with his all glowing pinkish face, while it was something unexpected of Carlos Morales, who is much handsomer in person than on screen.

One highlight of the event was the dance number of Jhong Hilario, which I personally waited for during the night. Being a dance lover that I am, it was such high heaven watching a member of the Streetboys dance live so I was all giddy all the while. Here's a video of his performance. May I warn you beforehand that there's some rated PG along the way on this video, haha!

All in all, it was a fun-filled event. I was pretty sure all the audience got their ounce of air every time they burst out laughing. Hope there would be another show like it.

Music Monday: Only Hope

It has been several Mondays already that I have not participated in Music Monday. It was because I haven't got the time to look for videos of those songs I wanted to feature brought about by the hectic schedule of volleybll practice and tax season. Now I am making amends and to kick it off, I am going to feature Mandy Moore's Only Hope.



A Walk To Remember is the all-time favorite movie of mine. It is one film that never fails to make me cry over and over again. It touches my heart to the core, which made me wonder why until at present. Anyway, the story is simple, yet so heart-warming. The video above is just part of the movie. Enjoy and fall in love!

It's Officially Summer!

Summer is finally here! That would mean a break for me from sending and fetching the kids from school, aside from answering countless assignments. The sun is always up nowadays, which is so hot, lol! With the volleyball practice I am seriously undergoing, I feel several tones darker than usual. I wonder if the sun block I applied worked, haha!

Anyways, to kick off the summer season, let me share with you this music video by the Kanto Boys, which the ABS-CBN used in their summer station ID. I liked this video because it has John Lloyd in it, plus the fact that my youngest son loved the beat so much. Every time he hears this song, I wouldn't fail to witness how his head or hips move. (Thanks to Claire for the link and Lucky who uploaded the video.)



Now this is giving me the idea of making a video too featuring my office mates doing summer sports practice, haha!

What made my summer all the more thrilling and happy is the Twilight DVD a friend sent to me. It is a two-disc DVD, featuring all the "behind the scenes", as well as the deleted scenes from the movie. I am so indebted to this friend because she has never forgotten to include me in the reservation, since our place here has no video store! Now I am happy to see Edward again, and it's making my summer days.

Oh by the way, I love John Lloyd's shirt! It's so colorful and summer-ish!


Enjoy your summer!

Music Monday: Mad

It's Monday again and it means another music feature. Well, this week is pretty exciting because Valentines Day is just 6 days away. Before we knew it, we have reached the end of the week and it's already the day for lovers!

So, who among you guys like Ne-Yo? Well, I like him because I like RnB songs to begin with. Plus, he has lots of cool songs which I really don't mind listening to - - Sexy Love, Miss Independent, Because of You, Hate That I Love You, and so much more.

My feature for this week is a new song from Ne-Yo, though I really don't know if it is his latest. I heard this song over the waves recently and thought it is a lovely song, intended for married couples.




Lyrics | Ne-Yo lyrics - Mad lyrics

Enjoy and happy Monday peeps!

Music Monday: Each Passing Night

Pardon me if you are not familiar with the song I am going to feature for this week's Music Monday, because the song is an original Filipino music, performed by a local artist here in the Philippines. But anyway, the song is sung in English, so you won't have a hard time comprehending it *grins*. The song is titled 'Each Passing Night' by Gary Valenciano. Well, aside from the wonderful and talented atist who performed this, I liked this song's melody. It somehow awaken's my romantic side of life, haha!



The lyrics are already embedded in the video. If you wonder how the voice behind this song looks like . . . take a glimpse of his handsome face below.

Enjoy and happy Monday!

This I Promise You

Being sentimental or over-acting may be my newest realization at the moment but I really just couldn't help being a little bit emotional upon listening to my all-time favorite song by NSync, entitled This I Promise You.

Well, I have a number of all-time favorite songs and while I was listening to them last night on the media player at bedtime, the song I mentioned above made the most impact out of me. And to my wonder, tears had actually fallen while the song played.

Here's a video featuring the voices behind this song. They are just so great!



And the lyrics...

This I Promise You

Ohh ohh...

When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Who's standing here all alone...

And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...

Just close your eyes (close your eyes)
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no...)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you.
This I promise you.

Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all...

And I will take (I will take you in my arms)
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you baby

Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no...)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you

Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you...

This song will always make me stay in love and this is heartily dedicated to the man I married.

Think Again Survey

Another Filipina Singer

After Little Big Star sensational, Charice Pempengco, caused a standing ovation at the Paul O'Grady Show in the UK, here's another Filipina who strived hard to earn a living in order to sustain her two daughters' needs.

This video took place during the show of Britain's Got Talent 2008, in which Simon Cowell of the American Idol was also a judge.

Mabuhay, Madonna Decena. Truly talented and someone to be proud of.

Check this Video

The song "Hate That I Love You" is very nice, especially since it is Rihanna and Ne-yo who sung the song.

Upon searching through YouTube for the music video of the song... I caught a glimpse of the title, attached with it is the word acoustic.

As I opened the link... there he was... some guy who in my very own opinion is really good. I really like his version of the song. He has made acoustic renditions of other songs and I was really enjoying each video that they have.

I'm sharing this... hope you would enjoy them too.

Sexy Love - Allison and Ivan

I so much loved this dance, that I already loved the song too. I have added this video to my favorites, and I hope one day I could dance like them... lol!

Anyway, just want to share this vidz...

I Could Not Ask For More

"These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive...These are the moments I'll remember all my life...I've got all I've waited for...And I could not ask for more."

An officemate of mine introduced me to this song... she said she really liked it and wanted me to look for it and have it uploaded on her Friendster profile. Oh well, when I heard the song, it has also captured my fascination.

The song is rendered by Edwin McCain, but our local artist Christian Bautista also gave his soulful rendition of the song in his album.

I have always been a lover of music, most especially love songs. Not to mention the fact that this song could also be considered a wedding song, taking into account the lyrics contained therein.

And to fully satisfy my fancy on this song, I have made a music video featuring of course my favorite couple...Robert and Saicy of Pinoy Big Brother Season 2. Saicy already watched the video together with her request "Crazy for You" of Madonna, and it is very heartwarming to know that she really liked it.

Here's the video I made... it is also uploaded in You Tube.
