Lady Gaga Vintage

Before being recognized as Lady Gaga, she was Stefani Germanotta who was a singer/songwriter. Here she is before the international fame, outrageuos clothes and shoes, make-up and kinky songs. I really like the first song called Captivated. I saw this on the page of Chuvaness. Kudos to Lady Gaga because she can sing both Pop and Ballads. Not all singers can do that. And I still ask myself why Im going gaga over Lady Gaga. *sighs*

Canon Rock!!!

Canon by Pachelbel is one of my favorite classical pieces.

This is the rock version by some guy on youtube and it is AWESOME!!!

The Music of Glee Volume 1

I've had a copy of this album from the day it was first released. I didn't post about it because it was released on a date in which I was unbelievably busy. Anyway here are the list of songs from the album:

1.	"Don't Stop Believin"
2.	"Can't Fight This Feeling"
3.	"Gold Digger"
4.	"Take a Bow"
5.	"Bust Your Windows"
6.	"Taking Chances"
7.	"Alone"
8.	"Maybe This Time"
9.	"Somebody to Love"
10.	"Hate on Me"
11.	"No Air"
12.	"You Keep Me Hangin' On"
13.	"Keep Holding On"
14.	"Bust a Move"
15.	"Sweet Caroline"
16.	"Dancing with Myself"
17.	"Defying Gravity"

The only songs from this album that I like are, "Don't Stop Believing","Take a Bow","No Air","Keep Holding On", and of course "Defying Gravity". Their versions of the songs are not really of my taste in music. One thing I know is that I DO NOT LIKE their cover for "Somebody To Love" which is one of my favorite oldies.

I've known about about Glee since day one and I even posted something about it a few months ago but after watching the first episode, I knew that I wasn't gonna like it. Its a bit of a letdown because I had high expectations for this show. Its like watching High School Musical meets Fame meets Step Up meets Raise Your Voice.

I only started following Glee again when I found out that they were doing a cover for Defying Gravity.

The Fame Monster

I haven't done an album review in a long time have I? Well I'm a Lady Gaga fan. Actually all of us in the house are. When I heard that Lady Gaga was releasing an EP I knew that I had to get my hands on it and thanks to all the torrents lying around, I was able to get one.

Here are the list of songs on the album:

1. Bad Romance

2.Alejandro

3.Monster

4.Speechless

5.Dance in the Dark

6.Telephone(ft. Beyonce)

7.So Happy I Could Die

8.Teeth

The songs are nice but not all of them are in the traditional Lady Gaga Party Music style. One comment though, I dont like the album cover. LOL.

Black is back...

Need I say more?

Lollipop Glow Sticks

I dont know why but I see a lot of people around Baguio sucking on these things. I find it weird and annoying. They taste like regular candy but I guess people like them because they glow *eyes roll*. I've tasted these and there is NOTHING special about them. Seriously. They just glow. I heard that these were banned in Manila because they were poisonous. Is this true? I wonder when they'll be banned here in Baguio. Is it also true that normal people like shiny things? When I say normal...just go figure.

Here is my housemate Sam sucking on a red colored one.

I hope this stupid craze ends. *sighs*

Dinner at Hodori

Me and my housemates (Darnell, Marj, and Sam) had dinner at Hodori which is a Japanese/Chinese/Korean Restaurant here in Baguio. The food is relatively cheap when you consider the amount they serve. Darnell paid for everything since he just got his salary. We ordered Samgypsal, Jyampong, and 3 plates of sushi plus a lot of side dishes.

Darnell and Me

Marj and Sam

Most memorable moment was when Marj said: "Tubig ba talaga yan?! Mukhang galing sa canal!"

The 12 most annoying Facebookers

I found this article and its funny.

(CNN) -- Facebook, for better or worse, is like being at a big party with all your friends, family, acquaintances and co-workers.

There are lots of fun, interesting people you're happy to talk to when they stroll up. Then there are the other people, the ones who make you cringe when you see them coming. This article is about those people.

Sure, Facebook can be a great tool for keeping up with folks who are important to you. Take the status update, the 160-character message that users post in response to the question, "What's on your mind?" An artful, witty or newsy status update is a pleasure -- a real-time, tiny window into a friend's life.

But far more posts read like navel-gazing diary entries, or worse, spam. A recent study categorized 40 percent of Twitter tweets as "pointless babble," and it wouldn't be surprising if updates on Facebook, still a fast-growing social network, break down in a similar way.

Combine dull status updates with shameless self-promoters, "friend-padders" and that friend of a friend who sends you quizzes every day, and Facebook becomes a daily reminder of why some people can get on your nerves.

Here are 12 of the most annoying types of Facebook users:

The Let-Me-Tell-You-Every-Detail-of-My-Day Bore. "I'm waking up." "I had Wheaties for breakfast." "I'm bored at work." "I'm stuck in traffic." You're kidding! How fascinating! No moment is too mundane for some people to broadcast unsolicited to the world. Just because you have 432 Facebook friends doesn't mean we all want to know when you're waiting for the bus.

The Self-Promoter. OK, so we've probably all posted at least once about some achievement. And sure, maybe your friends really do want to read the fascinating article you wrote about beet farming. But when almost EVERY update is a link to your blog, your poetry reading, your 10k results or your art show, you sound like a bragger or a self-centered careerist.

The Friend-Padder. The average Facebook user has 120 friends on the site. Schmoozers and social butterflies -- you know, the ones who make lifelong pals on the subway -- might reasonably have 300 or 400. But 1,000 "friends?" Unless you're George Clooney or just won the lottery, no one has that many. That's just showing off.

The Town Crier. "Michael Jackson is dead!!!" You heard it from me first! Me, and the 213,000 other people who all saw it on TMZ. These Matt Drudge wannabes are the reason many of us learn of breaking news not from TV or news sites but from online social networks. In their rush to trumpet the news, these people also spread rumors, half-truths and innuendo. No, Jeff Goldblum did not plunge to his death from a New Zealand cliff.

The TMIer. "Brad is heading to Walgreens to buy something for these pesky hemorrhoids." Boundaries of privacy and decorum don't seem to exist for these too-much-information updaters, who unabashedly offer up details about their sex lives, marital troubles and bodily functions. Thanks for sharing.

The Bad Grammarian. "So sad about Fara Fauset but Im so gladd its friday yippe". Yes, I know the punctuation rules are different in the digital world. And, no, no one likes a spelling-Nazi schoolmarm. But you sound like a moron.

The Sympathy-Baiter. "Barbara is feeling sad today." "Man, am I glad that's over." "Jim could really use some good news about now." Like anglers hunting for fish, these sad sacks cast out their hooks -- baited with vague tales of woe -- in the hopes of landing concerned responses. Genuine bad news is one thing, but these manipulative posts are just pleas for attention.

The Lurker. The Peeping Toms of Facebook, these voyeurs are too cautious, or maybe too lazy, to update their status or write on your wall. But once in a while, you'll be talking to them and they'll mention something you posted, so you know they're on your page, hiding in the shadows. It's just a little creepy.

The Crank. These curmudgeons, like the trolls who spew hate in blog comments, never met something they couldn't complain about. "Carl isn't really that impressed with idiots who don't realize how idiotic they are." [Actual status update.] Keep spreading the love.

The Paparazzo. Ever visit your Facebook page and discover that someone's posted a photo of you from last weekend's party -- a photo you didn't authorize and haven't even seen? You'd really rather not have to explain to your mom why you were leering like a drunken hyena and French-kissing a bottle of Jagermeister.

The Obscurist. "If not now then when?" "You'll see..." "Grist for the mill." "John is, small world." "Dave thought he was immune, but no. No, he is not." [Actual status updates, all.] Sorry, but you're not being mysterious -- just nonsensical.

The Chronic Inviter. "Support my cause. Sign my petition. Play Mafia Wars with me. Which 'Star Trek' character are you? Here are the 'Top 5 cars I have personally owned.' Here are '25 Things About Me.' Here's a drink. What drink are you? We're related! I took the 'What President Are You?' quiz and found out I'm Millard Fillmore! What president are you?"

You probably mean well, but stop. Just stop. I don't care what president I am -- can't we simply be friends? Now excuse me while I go post the link to this story on my Facebook page.
