Kyla - I'll Be Over You

Kyla released her 7th studio album titled "Heart2Heart" and this one is my fave in the album. Actually, it is one of my fave bittersweet love songs. I'm not yet familiar with Toto that time. And this song brings a lot of memories na rin.

Other tracks in Kyla's newest album includes cover versions of Klymaxx's "I Miss You," Phyllis Hyman's "Old Friend," Amy Holland's "I'll Never Give Up" and Stevie Wonder's "Ribbon In The Sky".

Original tracks includes "Back In Time," a collaboration with JayR, "Tahan Na" and "You Make Me Feel".

A special Christmas bonus track "My Grown-up Christmas List" is Kyla's gift to her fans.

Grab Kyla's newest album available on all record stores nationwide, released by EMI Philippines.

Tuesdays With Morrie on December 2

This I shouldn't miss. Even if I have to file a leave of absence for work I will do just to see this.

I cried the whole time when I read the book, and I fear I will cry when I see this live on stage.

Mitch Albom's non-fiction novel turned into a stage play starred by Repertory Philippines' Miguel Faustmann as Professor Morrie Schwartz and Bart Guingona who'll be playing Mitch Albom, under the direction of Baby Barredo.

This one night event will happen on December 2 at 8 PM at the OnStage in Greenbelt 1, Ayala Center, Makati City.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one. And bring those tissues.

Swearing In Of Gay Commissioner Draws Crowd In Tampa

Florida's Hillsborough County swore in its first openly gay county commissioner, Kevin Beckner today as hundreds gathered to witness the historic event. It was reported to be the largest crowd for such an event. County Circuit Court Clerk Pat Frank said of the crowd, "They're welcoming change, so it is Obama-like." [TBO]

Regine's new CD "Low Key"

I got this text from a textmate last week, and yeah, I must admit kinilig ako.

Sorry bakla lang, lasing pa!

NOTE: Some spoilers ahead.



I laughed out at this line, "Sorry bakla lang, lasing pa!" by Paolo Rivero's character in "Walang Kawala".

Agent J & I were able to watch this last night at Robinson's Galleria IndieSine of course.

The movie is great (of course it's a Joel Lamangan film!), though there were some pretty disturbing scenes mostly with Emilio Garcia's psychopathic scenes.

Going back to the Paolo Rivero-Joseph Bitangcol scene, I'm very sorry but that was very mean of "Waldo". I mean, what was he thinking?! Well, maybe he really loves "Joaquin" so he decided to be "best friends" with his housemate.

Nothing is more painful than a heart whose broken. Physical pains are pains, pero iba pa rin talaga pag puso na. And then the rejection and loneliness sinks in.

BTW, I noticed their house was the same house used for the movie "Roxxxanne". The front door and stairs are very familiar!

The best 'yung frontal ni Marco Morales (photo above), grabe binuyangyang talaga. I wonder if that frontal part was really shot along with the audiences at the gay bar. Hmm...nah I don't think so.

Aljur Abrenica was cute here, medyo *matigas* lang katawan nya, hehe!

Polo Ravales is also great here. I admire his acting. Hats off! Sexy as always and very nice butt!

Emilio Garcia's performance here was phenomenal. Very natural. There were times during the movie where I hated him like hell. Sobra.

The rest of the cast was ok I suppose. Another future addition to my Pinoy DVD collection. Yipee! I haven't got a copy of "Kambyo" and "Imoral" nga eh. But what about "Troika"? Attention!

Okay, off topic na. I'll give the movie 4 and a half out 5 popcorn bags. And yeah, one of the very few movies na pwede kong ulit-ulitin.

Outsourcing to ride out global gloom

A reason to cheer me up for a bit. I was a bit worried about the industry since the economic crisis in the US started.

But nah, I'm still looking forward to get out of the country before 2012.

David Archuleta debut CD

[ updated 11/18/2008 ]



Okay, the album leaked in the internet. So what? I actually got my share as early as Thursday last week. Darn, the whole album is great! I'll still keep my promise of buying the real CD whenever it's available here in Manila.

Any of you guys seen the CD yet in local stores? Don't have much time going out when the sun is at its peak. Good luck naman, logout ko sa office 2pm.

Anyway, here's the run down from my most to least favorite track on the CD.

UPDATE: Songs in red are bonus tracks from the CD

# 1 Crush - classic na to, need I say more?
# 2 A Little Too Not Over You - I love pop songs, I was born with it. Nyehehe!
# 3 My Hands
# 4 Running
# 5 Waiting For Yesterday - this song rocks!
# 6 Somebody Out There - I could melt on this one
# 7 You Can
# 8 To Be With You
# 9 Angels
# 10 Let Me Go
# 11 Touch My Hand
# 12 Works For Me
# 13 Falling
# 14 Barriers
# 15 Your Eyes Don't Lie
# 16 Desparate
# 17 Don't Let Go



I was hoping he'll be popping in "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton. I loved his rendition!

Overall, I'll give the CD 4.5 out of 5 spins.

Next week, it's David Cook's turn. We'll see.


Pahabol: Special thanks to Josh nga pala for the Lea Salonga Inquirer Special Edition MRT Ticket Card. Da best ka talaga!
