BLAH BLAH BLOGS: Anong Pake Mo Sa Kalayaan?

Siguro dumaan din sa iyong kamalayan

kung gaano kahalaga ang ating kalayaan

Kalayaan kung saan tayo umunlad at mapayapa

Siya ring kalayaan na natuto tayong umasa

Hindi ba sumagi sa iyong isipan

kung ang bayan natin ay sadlak pa rin sa digmaan

patuloy  ang hidwaan at di pagkakaunawaan

kay dami nang dugong dumanak at dumaan

REEL DEAL: World War Z SPOTLIGHT

"Great Panic" begins as the Zombie Pandemic spreads 

by Emy Abuan

Through a series of oral interviews, Brooks, as an agent of the United Nations Postwar Commission, describes the history of 'World War Z'. Although the origin of the zombie pandemic is unknown, the story begins in China where a young boy becomes the pandemic's "patient zero"—(implied not the first victim chronologically), at which the Chinese government attempts to contain the infection and concocts a crisis involving Taiwan to mask their activities. The infection is spread to other countries by the black market organ trade and by refugees, before an outbreak brings the plague to public attention. As the infection spreads, Israel initiates a nationwide quarantine and closes its borders to everyone except uninfected Jews and Palestinians, putting down an ultra-Orthodox uprising. Pakistan and Iran destroy each other in a nuclear war after the Iranian government attempts to stem the flow of refugees fleeing through Pakistan.

FASHIONISTA: My Ystilo Salon Hair Transformation

I do confess that I'm not a hair expert. That is why I find myself with very fashionable styles, a fresh face, but with a very lame hairstyle. Well fashionista must have its weaknesses. And with daily abuse of hair gels and wax, my hair comes out dry and boring. And when I go to the salon, I just always say the same thing, "pa-trim po"

Well I think I do need more professional help in terms of hairstyling and color since it can make or break my hair. That is why I am very happy when Ystilo Salon invited bloggers to take a look at their stores which caters to a lot of customers and even celebrities too.

Sam Concepcion’s new single No Limitations is number one for two weeks

After years of waiting, Sam Concepcion’s newest single No Limitations has been released digitally two weeks ago. Currently, the song is on its second week at the top of the MyMusicStore charts.

In No Limitations, Sam Concepcion sheds his squeaky clean, boy-next-door image and exhibited his maturity as a performer and recording artist.

“Everyone has seen me as the young song and dance guy, model youth, among others,” says Sam. “Now, is the time that they get to know the more mature ME with an edgier sound.”

No Limitations is a collaboration between Sam and composers Billy Crawford, Kris Lawrence, and Marcus Davis.

“I enjoyed working on this song because I was guided by some of the most gifted artists in the country,” explains Sam. “This is the new Sam Concepcion with No Limitations.”

Sam’s upcoming album will be released next month, under Universal Records.
