Bamboo Rocked Australia
For a couple of days now I've been thinking about what to put here. Though there are a number of big news circulating, it didn't really catch my attention. But now, I'm blessed that I came across photos of Bamboo in their first and latest gig in Australia.

Alicia M. on Lettuce Bikini
I've been a bit busy this past few days that I wasn't able to put something sensible here. Now, I still have an hour to gather my thoughts and look for an interesting topic for my blog.Last Sunday, I got the chance to watch Alicia Mayer on Mel and Joey. Well, having a figure like mine,I was not really interested about their
topic last Sunday because it talked about swimsuits and bikinis. Anyway, the only thing that got my interest was when the host mentioned that Alicia Mayer had a photo shoot wearing only lettuce as her bikini!Wow! isn't it? Anyway, it's not just because of publicity that Alicia had that photo shoot bu
t she had good reasons for it- a social responsibility (perhaps?).The shoot was a Pro-Vegetarian Ad of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Here, Alicia was holding a placard saying "Let Vegetarianism Grow in You". Sounds interesti
ng but I don't think I can do that... heheheh..For Alicia, you go girl! enjoy your vegies and hopefully I can follow the advice you got in your placard! :))

What will make me leave the Philippines by Harvey S. Yeh
I first heard about this email on television. I got interested about it so I decided to post it here. This topic is very timely for the upcoming election so, READ and REFLECT... This might help...
Dear Fellow Filipino,
Good day to all of you! Before I begin my letter... just a disclaimer, for people who know me they know that I love the Philippines very much and I am not really one who rants and complaints to high heavens about what is happening to our country and does nothing about it, in fact, I feel that at my relatively young age of 27, I have done much service to the Philippines by setting up Pathways to Higher Education which has sent more than 500 poor but deserving students to college and AHON Foundation which has already built two public elementary school libraries that have benefitted more than 3,500 students. Yet, after seeing how events in our nation have transpired the past few weeks and talking with some friends, I feel the urge to share with you my own thoughts and feelings.
Over the weekend, we saw the completion of two major political alliances for this coming Senate Elections that has just began here in the Philippines. Now we have two political forces with familiar faces nonetheless on opposite sides of the fences. On one end, you have Tito Sotto and Tessie Aquino-Oreta who were two major stalwarts of the opposition and the FPJ Campaign in 2004 hobnobbing with the woman (Pres. GMA) whom they claimed to have cheated FPJ in the last Presidential Elections.On the other side of the fence, you see Manny Villar, the former house speaker who was actually responsible for impeaching Erap now part of the United Opposition who is led by no less than... Erap himself. Now if you don't see anything wrong with this picture then you must be one of the many Filipinos who have accepted this very sad reality that there is indeed no permanent ideals that our government leaders stand up for but rather they just go where there self-interests can best be served. It is this kind of politics why I no longer wonder why good people like Ramon Magsaysay Awardee Mayor Jesse Robredo of Naga City or outstanding Bulacan Governor Josie Dela Cruz will find it hard or worse, never be elected to national positions.
1.) If former COMELEC Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano of Hello Garci fame wins in his bid to become Congressman of Bukidnon...seeking to replace a good man no less in incumbent Cong. Neric Acosta... We would really be the laughing stock of the whole world if we allow a man with the reputation of Garci to be one of our so called "Honorable Gentlemen".
2.) If Dancing Queen Tessie Aquino Oreta reclaims her seat at the Senate... I hope that all of us would still remember that dance that she did during the 2001 impeachment hearings after they voted to overrule the decision of then Chief Justice Davide... let us make sure that people like her never make it to the Senate again.
3.) If Richard Gomez becomes a senator... what does he know about making laws? We already have the likes of Bong Revilla and Lito Lapid in the Senate and their performance or lack of it would be reason enough not to elect another actor who has no prior experience in government to the distinguished halls of the Senate.
4.) If Gringo Honasan wins again.... have we not learned our lesson? I cannot believe that just because someone is charismatic then we will just elect him to become one of our senators despite the fact that he has time and again caused so much instability in our country... if we want a military junta similar to that of Thailand... then lets all vote for this guy....
5.) If Manny Pacquiao becomes Congressman of General Santos City... everybody loves Manny the Boxing Champ but Manny the Lawmaker? Lets be realistic here, Manny is our Hero alright but I think it takes more than just great boxing skills and a desire to serve to be able to make appropriate laws that would help uplift the lives of the many Filipinos who live in Poverty.
6.) If Lito Lapid wins for Mayor of Makati City... I don't like Jojo Binay as well but Lito Lapid as city mayor of the country's finance and business center?!?! And do you really think he is from Makati and has good plans for the city? The Arroyos asking someone like him to run just goes to show you how much love and concern this government has for our country.
7.) If Chavit Singson becomes a Senator, Illegal Gambling =Chavit... enough said.
Now if all of these 7 things happen during this coming elections then don't be surprised if I decide to leave this country that I love dearly. Like I said during the first part of my letter, I feel that I have done much for this country but I think its time that Filipinos become more vigilant and critical in selecting our leaders for the sake of our future and the generations that will go beyond us. So I appeal to every Filipino who asks what can I actually do for my country... Choose and vote for the right people this coming elections, huwag na tayong magpaloko sa mga kandidatong maganda lang ang jingle o gwapo lang sa mga poster. Let us choose leaders who have a good track record for service and who are genuinely committed towards serving our country.
Manindigan naman tayong lahat para sa ating Kinabukasan at para sa Kapakanan ng ating Bayan!
Thank you very much for your time in reading this letter.
Sincerely,

Issues on Probinsyana by Bamboo
Every night, before signing in, its my habit to see whether I receive new emails because it simply means that someone gave a comment here in my blog. Last night, while putting on my PC I noticed that I received an email and that made me so excited! I opened the mail to know what was the comment. But sad to say, the comment was a bit negative and it irritates me! Actually, I have doubts whether to post it or trash it. In the end, I'm proud to say that I decided to post it.
Days ago, I had an entry about the Bamboo's upcoming album and some of their songs including Probinsyana and Tatsulok. But last night it pissed me that someone (sad to say he didn't give his name) commented:
Days ago, I had an entry about the Bamboo's upcoming album and some of their songs including Probinsyana and Tatsulok. But last night it pissed me that someone (sad to say he didn't give his name) commented:
- My God! This is shameful! Does he knows that the song "Probinsyana" belongs to a legendary rock and roll artist? Mahiya naman kayo! Give respect to the real person who made this song which is Mr. Edmund Fortuno.
What's with the song Probinsyana? How could this person imply that Bamboo, the vocalist and/or the band claims that Probinsyana is their original composition? Duh! Moreover, I never forget to reiterate in my blog that Probinsyana was a revival of Bamboo.
The only question on my mind right now is that, what's the fuss? As a fan of Bamboo, a true-blooded believer, I never heard the band claiming that Probinsyana was theirs. If this person watched SOP last Sunday, 25 February 2007, he would have heard Bamboo especially Ira Cruz thanking some people. If this someone had the chance to purchase bamboo's third album, We Stand Alone Together, he could have at least seen the acknowledgments.
Perhaps the only thing this person wanted is to make Mr. Edmund Fortuno more famous... :)) I just wish this person will realize that never did Bamboo claim the song Probinsyana and that they gave due credits to those people or bands (for that matter) who wrote and performed te songs featured in the album We Stand Alone Together.
Anyway, I really wanted to thank the Edmund Fortuno for the song Probinsyana because after hearing it from Bamboo, it makes me be proud that I'm from the province! Hopefully, he's proud that young people can hear his song through Bamboo.
