Losers and Winners

Jason Castro is "TMTH"

Yes, you heard it right, the soft-spoken Jason Castro is "too much to handle" now. Just when he's starting to bore me then he's becoming a lil' intresting. From the shirtless pics to clean-cut hair photo and on ditching orphans for "what is that organization again?" Today's American Idol elimination episode was even more "TMTH" when he's obviously freaking out. Another reason to watch Jason I guess.

Which is which?


Why making a big deal out of his being shirtless, tsk tsk..

Earth Hour 2008

Created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming.

About Earth Hour On March 31 2007, for one hour, Sydney made a powerful statement about the greatest contributor to global warming – coal-fired electricity – by turning off its lights. Over 2.2 million Sydney residents and over 2,100 businesses switched off, leading to a 10.2% energy reduction across the city. What began as one city taking a stand against global warming caught the attention of the world.

In 2008, 24 global cities will participate in Earth Hour at 8pm on March 29. Earth Hour is the highlight of a major campaign to encourage businesses, communities and individuals to take the simple steps needed to cut their emissions on an ongoing basis. It is about simple changes that will collectively make a difference – from businesses turning off their lights when their offices are empty, to households turning off appliances rather than leaving them on standby.

Incubus at Araneta

Again another late entry, sorry! Just can’t help posting about Brandon's intelligent songwriting demonstrated last March 9 at Araneta. Anyway I do not like Incubus before simply because of their name “incubus” which means demon. But the name itself is too wicked for an artistic band that translates life’s personal experience into rhythm of passionate musicality. Call them demon or whatever you call for that matter but their sagacity is simply irresistible.
I fail to watch it for three personal reasons which I don’t intend to explain here but my friends successive annoying text messages in the wee hours of the morning about the event is enough to put it this way, they’re making some noise literally. Even a respectable office supervisor can’t help shouting “more skin more skin” when Brandon remove his shirt. And my fanatical friend told me she was in a place between reality and fantasy that Araneta made even more magical.

In an interview by By Juana Manahan of PDI

How would you like your music to influence others?

BB: What a lovely question—a really good question! It’s difficult to truly dictate the influence any form of art has on people especially when it’s taken out of context in diff parts of the world. I think the first emotion is gratitude—like wow we are being listened to in the other side of the planet.

But if we were asked for the most basic reaction or influence it would be that it opened somebody’s experience to something new—something they hadn’t heard before certain emotions.

Have your musical influences changed? What are you listening to now?

JOSE: Older music-early 90s classic rock, 80’s Prince, Paul Simon all these records that are timeless—to get ideas and inspiration from the constant growing of that—being influenced by older music—newer music

What’s the best thing about making music?

JOSE: Making and playing music. We started as a hobby and a way to be productive even though we weren’t conscious of that. Get to travel with friends that we love—music moves all us and we just hope to be able to continue to do that.

Entrecard Entry

This is a bit late but that’s ok. I’m not a huge fan of Entrecard or other blog networking website so writing about it would be the last thing I would do. But some of my friend constantly asked me “how to start one?” or “how does it work?” So here it is. Signing up with EntreCard is so easy but getting the most out of it is not a walk in the park.

You should have an existing blog/website in the first place of course. Register your site for free at Entrecard select a category of your site and make a 125 x 125 image that best describe your site. Then select the widget you want to appear in your site and copy-paste the html code.

You’re almost done on your way to Entrecard stardom. But before anything else you need to earn credits first since advertising here is done thru ec(Entrecard credits) and not thru your plastic visa. You can earn credits by dropping other member’s card found somewhere in their blog/site and vise versa. You can also earn ec when someone advertises in your blog.

Lastly, promote your site. The cheapest advertising price is 2ec. Consider checking the site as well before you advertise. Does it have enough traffic and regular reader? Is it related to your blog/site? Those are just few things you need to consider to make the most of Entrecard.

Amanda Overmyer No More

Amanda's rendition of "Back in the U.S.S.R" has prompted the audience to send her home. It was not bad but it was not good at all. Honestly I am constantly annoyed every time she performs. And it's good to know I'm not the only one.

Overmyer a consistent vote-for-the-worst favorite pick has finally kissed her pitchiness goodbye. It seems southern rock flair is working no more. But in an interview she said "No. 11 out of all them people is more than I could expect."

Lindsay Lohan Hollywood’s Most Dumb

Lindsay Lohan’s poor movie choices, delinquent behavior and bad taste in men land her in the list of the most dumb according to Daily News. But the newspaper point out that “dumb doesn’t necessarily correspond to low IQ. There are poor life choices, style slipups and mishaps under the influence to take into account.” I wonder why Jennifer Love Hewitt’s in the list and why Britney didn’t made it in the top spot. Is Paris Hilton dead? Coz she's not in the list. Duh, hell I care.
