Life Size Gundam for Real

At first, I thought it was a hoax, but when I saw the video, I can say that some childhood fantasies do come true. This is a life scale of an RX-78-2 Gundam model. It is 59 ft or 18m tall. This life size Gundam model was built to commemorate its 30th anniversary. It stands lordly and proudly at Tokyo's Artificial island, Odaiba.

This life size Gundam has sound effects, can move its head and has mist emitting devices. Enjoy!

Michael Jackson's Ghost Caught in Cam

This is a video taken by the crew of Larry King Live in Michael Jackson's estate. The video is definitely not tampered. They have played the scene a number of times for everyone's naked eyes to see Michael Jackson's ghostly apparition.

Lady Gaga & Regine's Most Requested

I really don't want to miss on seeing these shows. They say Manila is a 3rd World Country but Big time Foreign Artists frequently visit us. This is everyone's chance to witness Lady Gaga's eccentricities. Be it in her fashion statement or dance moves. I don't mind her lipsynching, as long as she rocks Manila with her outlandish clothes and stage gimmickries. Lady Gaga Live in Manila will be on August 11 at the Araneta Coliseum (Click to View Seats & Prices).

Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez will have a two-night show on Aug. 1 & 8 at the new Sky Dome SM North Edsa. It's all about her Most Requested songs. Also, this will be her venue to promote some songs from her Low Key Album. Regine's special guest will be Eva Castillo, her most feared rival in amateur singing contests. So expect a battle of the lungs medley from these belters.

Will Regine Sing the New DARNA Theme?

The new Darna theme will be sung by Eva Castillo. Regine Velasquez nemesis in Amateur Singing Contests. I just don't know if this is final already. I have nothing against Eva. In fact, she has one of the best pipes in the industry.

I just feel that since Regine played Darna in Captain Barbel it's just appropriate that she records the new theme. In addition to that, she has been very vocal that she's a Darna fan. I always hear "Give Chance to Others", but I really wanna be selfish this time. For a production that's expected to be grandiose, the theme will be best given life by Regine's enchanting pipes. Hope that this wishful thinking will be given some Major consideration. For the meantime, I'll sulk and content myself with Regine's Darna theme of Di Na Nag-iisa.

Marian Rivera's DARNA Costume

All I can say is, Marian Rivera's DARNA costume is the best version ever. The finalized costume is more consistent to the original theme of Red & Gold. She looks more like a Real Super Heroine. Bong Leal did an Amazing Job! It's a work of art!

Marian looks very fit ala Linda Carter and it's soo Hollywoodish! Darna ratings will Soar High in August!!!

Charice the Journey Begins The Ugly "Very Ugly"

Charice was well supported by her legion of fans, curious spectators and even detractors. The worst scenario in this show was the producer/concert organizer MixSonic Productions. The first video, I believe, is the head honcho of the said newly established production company.

Now, I have uploaded videos that will prove how disorganized Mix Sonic was, in terms of logistics. The 2nd video was taken at exactly 5:30pm. I believe there were people who came in early, just to secure themselves of good seats since it's FREE seating.

The SMX lady informed us that by 6:30 they'll let us in. Unfortunately, her announcement was very misleading which led to these chaotic scenes at around 7:20. What's really frustrating, was that a new line emerged on the other side of the convention. Worst, they let people in who didn't even fall in line. Just because they look RICH?

Mr. Mix Sonic stop pointing fingers. You kept on mentioning this isn't Araneta? SMX brags that it's a First Class/World Class Convention. If you have only ironed out your logistics, this wouldn't have happened. People are already tired of hearing the word "PASENSYA NA" especially if it's just a lame excuse for negligence. Lack of sincerity adds more injury to this situation. I understand that part of your clout is to get in your relatives or family members easily. People are not dumb nor naive as what you perceived them to be.

We do not appreciate that you used the long lines for your production value. Making the world think that there were throngs of people lined up just to witness Charice's world-class talent!. You know you made a Major Boo Boo (Platinum/VIP ticket holders not having their supposedly reserved seats). Your pocket or should I say bank account gained millions, but I assure you, your Soul is going nowhere near Heaven.

Charice the Journey Begins The Bad

Unfortunately, Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez couldn't make it. She was hospitalized and under observation for possible AH1N1. Last minute replacement was no other than the country's original Diva Ms. Kuh Ledesma. Kuh even mentioned that Regine even provided the gown that she was wearing that evening.

Pls. wait for the vid of her duet with Charice.

Check this interview with Regine and Charice during their rehearsal. This should have been their much awaited duet.

Marian Rivera's DARNA training wannabe Boobay in Kay Susan Tayo

When I heard Marian Rivera's name as the new Darna, I had doubts if she can give justice to the role. Angel Locsin portrayed an athletic Darna, something that previous Darnas were not able to do. Marian can definitely swim with her mermaid costume in Dyesebel but can she do fight scenes?

After watching her training in Wushu and her balancing act using a harness, I'm more than 100% convinced, Marian can be a better Darna as compared to Angel Locsin. I have not seen Angel do a back flip when landing nor more complicated fight scene moves.

To better understand the level of difficulty of Marian's Darna moves, watch her train Boobay in an episode of Kay Susan Tayo. I have seen these videos for more than a dozen times already and I get the same feeling of unexplained laughter. Boobay is very very funny! Also, the bloated Regine Velasquez impersonator is very promising! Watch and experience the same joy! ENJOY!

David Cook Shopping in SM Megamall & David Archuleta Retreating to his Hotel

The concert of David Cook and David Archuleta was a BIG success even if the ticket prices were exorbitantly expensive especially the Platinum seats. There's no stopping a third world country like the Philippines in missing their well loved American Idols.

The first video was an unexpected visit by David Cook and his band in SM Megamall (7th world's largest shopping mall). Again, the crappy memory card malfunctioned and erased the longer & better vid. Reformatting the card solved the problem and we had to settle with this short vid and a stalking vid of David Archuleta (Edsa Shangrila Hotel) after his rehearsal.

A number of fans surely missed the airing of this exclusive interview of Cook and Archie at GMA's Cool Center. It has been more than a month and it still made me laugh. This video is definitely worth sharing to the whole world. You will see the natural acting skills of these American Idols. Also, you will witness Eugene Domingo's comedic skills without using slapsticks as compared to her rivals that lacked wit and charm. Enjoy the interview and it's truly CRAZY!!!

Regine Strutting the Catwalk in GMA's 59th Anniversary

Having worn high heels for more than two decades now, it's definitely fun to see Regine enjoying her stiletto heels on the catwalk as captured in this video. This is a MUST SEE and since it's an amateur vid, it's still best to watch and record this momentous celebration using your preferred medium.

Thanks to Kapuso for sharing this vid. This amateur video, in any manner, does not intend to pre-empt/jeopardize GMA's scheduled tv broadcast. This is merely enticing more Kapuso fans not to miss this special anniversary presentation. A celebration that is truly dedicated to the loyal Kapuso fans that helped GMA reach the No. 1 spot.

Pastry Celebrates Father's Day

MC Vs RV's LVs

DIVAS Mariah Carey and Regine Velasquez' special affinity to Louis Vuitton's Mega Iconic Monograms. It's not about the Divas anymore since they share the same passion to make the Ultimate Fashion statement.

The initials LV nowadays are synonymous to Fame & Wealth. So, I'm wondering on LV's net worth! Why isn't HE included in Fortune's Richest? How much would a Louis Vuitton's strand of hair cost? After all, you can't find everything on ebay just like what everybody says (Them - Ordinary People).

Regine's Reach/A Moment Like This in GMA's 59th Anniversary

GMA's 59th Anniversary at the Araneta Coliseum has the best production value as compared to its previous celebrations. GMA has truly proven that it has evolved and can compete globally, not just with its rival networks.

The presentation is definitely coherent and I love the fact that they capitalized on good visual technology. The actual tv broadcast will be more intricate and grand. I can't wait to see the finish product. If my memory serves me right, it'll be on the 21st, if not on the 28th.

As a teaser for more great and sophisticated production numbers, here's Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez, as she reaches for the highest of high notes in chest voice. Enjoy!

Charice the Journey Begins

So what's so special about this concert? It is Charice Pempengco's so-called first major solo concert. Initially, they were planning to stage it at the Araneta Coliseum, but due to time constraints the SMX Convention center was the more obvious choice for this special concert.

The SMX is a new concert/convention venue, so expect very good air conditioning and clean facilities. This is better than the quaint Folk Arts Theatre where new artists usually had their baptismal of fire. Charice will definitely enjoy her stage in the SMX. Also, she won't be indifferent if you compare this to the world class venues where she had performed with international artists like Celine Dion.

To make this a more memorable concert, Asia's Songbird "Regine Velasquez" will grace her show. Charice's appearance in Divas 4 Divas (US) is just a teaser. Finally, speculations and fan wars will be put to an end. A temporary ceasefire for these artists' loyal devotees.

There may be conflicts with these artists' schedule, but I'm sure that given their gift for music, these Divas can come up with a special duet. I'm crossing my fingers that they will perform And I'm Telling You with counterpoints of course, instead of the boring and usual When You Believe performances.

This concert will definitely banish all unfounded truths (irony) that Charice never openly declared her admiration for the Filipinos' beloved Songbird - Regine Velasquez. You still have more than a week, so for your tickets and seat arrangements just click the highlighted words. Watch Charice with the formidable Filipina Divas sharing one stage. Enjoy!

Charice Pempengco's Note to God

 

Finally, Charice released her first single Note to God where else? - Oprah Winfrey Show! That definitely gave her all the media mileage that she needs. I really want her album to reach Gold and then Platinum (dream BIG). We need more Filipinos and Asians in the elusive US Music Industry. Coco Lee was able to penetrate the market, but it wasn't enough. Her star's luster fizzled which made it more difficult for Asian artists to enter the industry. Record producers are scared to gamble.

A Note to God is  not an original Charice song. It was originally recorded by Jojo two years ago. I really don't care if this is a cover song. What's important is that Charice gave it her own touch, something that Jojo can't even replicate in LIVE performances. Her voice was powerful and just perfect for the occasion. She took control instead of being over powered by the choir. As expected, her manager Oprah was seen crying on screen. She must have been overwhelmed by Charice's voice and the millions of $$$ she'll get in return.

Charice was properly dressed. Nothing flamboyant. Nothing matronly.  Just suitable this time to her age ( a teenager). Since Oprah's managing her career, I really want her to get a product endorsement for Charice. I still insist that Oprah talks to Pastry (http://www.pastrykicks.com/). Oprah's clout plus Pastry's fashion ideals will suit and benefit Charice's growing popularity in US.  Just imagine Charice in famous Pastry shoes and apparels. She will never go wrong with Pastry. 

Here's Charice's LIVE performance of her first single - Note to God. ENJOY!!!

Mother's Day Contest - She's Always A Woman to Me

Regine recorded this Billy Joel song - She's Always a Woman to Me as a way to thank her mom - Mommy V. This song is included in her Low Key Album which is still gaining popularity and more platinum awards. I wonder if the album has reached triple platinum already.

I really adore Regine's version, since it has once again, showcased her sweet & pristine voice. Most of all, it showed her whistling skill, veering from her famous belting prowess. ,I have uploaded a live performance of this song, in one of her Low Key Mall tours.

Now, I'm thinking of how to thank our Mothers or people we know who have assumed motherly roles. I can only think of sharing this legit Mother's Day contest by Pastry kicks.

Who wants to follow Barbie's timeless footsteps. Every girl, I suppose. Who ever thought that this impossible dream will one day materialize with the help of shoe connoisseurs Angela and Vanessa Simmons and their love for pastries. Even at 25, I can be all the Barbie that I want to be with their youthful Pastry Shoes collection. You might want to check them out at www.pastrykicks.com and live the dream.

With Mother’s day right around the corner, Vanessa and Angela Simmons want to give thanks to all the wonderful moms around the world.

Write a poem , send it to contest@pastrykicks.com and let us know What Makes your Mom the best Mother in the world?

AND WIN PASTRY’S OF YOUR CHOICE:

Winner will be announced on friday at 8pm EST and posted on the site. For contest details please check this link:

Regine's 18 Greatest Hits!

Regine's new album is a compilation of just some of her greatest hits. I believe that this is a birthday album present to her fans. It's nice to hear that they have digitally remastered songs that were recorded in the early 90s. So expect better sound quality of her earlier hits like Narito Ako, Urong Sulong, Kung Maibabalik Ko Lang, etc.

This album also included not so popular Regine songs like Maghihintay Ako Sa 'Yo and Kastilyong Buhangin. This is actually a good way to educate new Regine devouts. At least, they will be equipped with necessary Regine discography. Also, they will hear how Regine evolved as a singer thru her voice technique, timbre and style.

A Regine Greatest Hits album will not be complete without the movie theme songs she popularized. The album is just a teaser with her winning song in Ang Bagong Kampeon - In Your Eyes by George Benson. So it's safe to assume that Regine's dog George coined its name from George Benson and George Clooney- the Georges in Regine's life.

Of course the Greatest Hits album will not be Regine's if Belting Songs are not included. It was definitely nice to have On The Wings of Love and I Don't Want To Miss A Thing. These songs will continuously remind everyone that the Songbird is the Ultimate Belter in our country--possibly in the whole world.

I still feel that the release of this album is preposterous! Its goal is not to satiate Regine's fans, but the bank accounts of these recording companies. Nothing new... Nothing spectacular... So soo album layout and pictures. The only redeeming factor is Regine's Amazing Vocal Prowess!
