Filipino talent is indeed world class. Many Filipinos today are conquering the international spotlight and spreading the heart of Filipino culture. Should I mention names? Ok. We have, Arnel Pineda (the lead vocalist of the famous band, Journey), Charice Pempengco (the emerging child star with great voice), Vanessa Hudgens (of High School Musical), Nicole Scherzinger (of Pussycat Dolls), Apl.de.Ap (of the Black Eyed Peas) and more.

These Filipino celebrities have already captured the international stage, but how about the other Filipinos in the island that also have the abilities to rock the music world? M-T-V-E-merge is the answer. Yeah.

MTV Emerge is the newest talent-search here in the Philippines. Trying to search for the purest Filipino voices that can let the limelight spot on them. This huge project was powered by MTV, Jeepney Music, and Department of Tourism collaboration which will assure us that this project will be a success.

YEY!!! I got my new Xtreme XP-3000 speaker set for my PC this week at SM Appliance Center. I bought it for only PHP 2,+++.00 (I forgot the actual price).

Actually, I bought this speaker to replace my other speaker set at my PC. I want to move my old 5.1 home theater speakers at my room and replace it with this new Xtreme XP-3000. But, when I set it up at my room for testing, I decided not to move my old speaker set to my room, and use the new one instead! Because of its stylish look, and good quality audio output, this marvelous thing captured my attention.

But the thing that surprised me was this newly bought speaker is so photogenic! LOL! When I took a photo of it, the result was just so amazing (for me). I think that’s because of its silver grey color with blacks. I took so many photos of it because I so love this speakers.

Here are the top 6 photos I took of this Mr. Photogenic speaker, Xtreme XP-3000:

This speaker set is really photogenic, right? I really love the design of this thing. I’m so happy I bought it. Ha-ha-ha!

Yesterday, I was surfing the net for great music. I looked at some popular music websites. I found there the famous songs airing right now. But I want something new. Something fresh and very rare. Some music that lingers on my mind every time I listen to it. Until I found the great site of Jee Juh Productions. Yeah, Jee Juh. Not familiar? Let me introduce it for you. As they said, Jee Juh should be pronounced as Jee as in the letter “G,” and Juh as in the beginning of the word jug. Like “yee yuh!” but with J’s, “Jee Juh!” This site showcases different beats, instrumentals and songs with  different featured artists. The beats and instrumentals are excellent! I love the song Fiesty by Mike Lightner and the How Bad sang by Kryptic & Opticz produced by Elliote Waite. Its so cool. The Piano Man produced by Mike Lightner is one of my favorite songs here.

All the songs are excellent and in good quality. Better check it out here Beats.

Are you familiar with these things? Of course yes, right? These are albums. Yeah, A-L-B-U-M-S. Some said these albums were not practical these days (applicable in my country) because why spend 500 pesos or 10 dollars for just a piece of an album if you can just search for its mp3 file and download it for free? And pirated CDs are also available almost everywhere which cost almost 1 dollar only. But I hate this practical saying. Yeah, it will cost you a lot if you’ll buy original albums but it will cost you a lot of enjoyment and a lot of rock ‘n roll feelings. So, buy original albums and ignore those stupid pirated CDs! Grrr..

The albums shown up there were the albums of my favorite band and singers. My first love was Avril Lavigne. Yeah, her music was my first love. The Best Damn Thing Limited Edition Album is really great having 1 CD and 1 DVD. My favorite songs of this punk-pop princess are 1. Hot 2. I Can Do Better 3. Runaway 4. Innocence 5. The Best Damn Thing.

The first band that attracted my music mentality was The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. The album Don’t You Fake It was nice. I love the songs there and the every song’s message. The top 5 songs from RJA that hit my heart were 1. Cat and Mouse 2. Seventeen Ain’t So Sweet 3. [Untitled Track] (the hidden song in their album which was not listed at the back of the album’s page) 4. Face Down 5. Damn Regret. I hope they can have a concert here in the Philippines. This band has a lot of fans here.

The last  singer in the list is the Secondhand Serenade with the A Twist in My Story album. At first, I thought that this was a band consisting of a drummer, a vocalist, guitarists, etc. But I search this “band” and discovered that this “band” had only 1 member. I was shocked because that was my first time to saw a singer using a name that should be used by bands and not by an individual or solo singer. John Vesely is the name. He is a good singer. In his album, I loved 5 songs there as usual. And they are: 1. A Twist in My Story 2. Fall For You 3. Your Call 4. Suppose 5. Maybe

These singers surely the rockers of my musical individuality. They color the sounds that enter my ears and perk up my day. Just like anybody, music lives within me.
