Chart Recap Yearender 2 (Philippine Music Charts)

For this part, I'll share the "long" music charts. Here are the year-end Charts of Mellow 947 and NU 107. The NU 107 list is incomplete though as there were errors on the NU broadcast as the songs mentioned at #62 and #30 were already played. I'll update the chart as soon as NU releases the full list in their website. Credits for erzo for compiling songs #98 to #22. I listed #107 (I woke just before 6am to catch that haha, addict!) and #21 to #1. Last year's #1 in NU was Probinsyana by Bamboo. I personally love the #1 song: Betamax. On the other hand, after two years of not having one, Mellow 947 finally had a yearend special this year counting down their Top 100 songs. I hope in 2009, Mellow 947 will have a regular weekly chart already.
This charts are also posted in the Philipine Music Charts Thread at Pinoyexchange. com.

Christmas Wishes

Just a day before Christmas. I'm looking forward this Christmas for one this will be my nephew's first Christmas. Trivia, we found out my sister was pregnant on Christmas day last year. Anyway,I'll share my Christmas wishes this year I'll start from the most important to the not-so-important-but -would-be-glad-if-I-will-have-it wahahaha.

1. Good health for my family. My father had a minor health scare this year and thank God he is fine and hopefully he and all of my family will be in good health for decades to come. When I graduated it really made me realize that my parents are not young anymore so I can't help but feel paranoid for the future. So I really pray almost everyday that my family will be free from any life threatening disease. And also that we will be always be away from any harm.

2. A job that will be a good start for a career. One of the biggest setbacks I had this year is that I struggled finding a job after graduation and I left my first job after just three months because I really did not feel a future there.

3. Economy improves,let's face it Christmas this year (and the previous years as well) were not as jubilant compared before because of tougher times. I really hope next year we will witness an improvement not just in our country but worldwide.

4. And for the "material stuff", I hope I could have a portable dvd player, a new laptop and my favorite shows on original DVD and also a stable Internet connection haha.

Have a Merry Christmas to everyone who visits my little space in the world wide web!

****

When it seems the magic slipped away,
we find it all again on Christmas day...

Believe in what your heart is saying,
hear the melody that's playing.
There's no time to waste,
there's so much to celebrate.

Believe in what you feel inside,
And give your dreams the wings to fly.
You have everything you need,
If you just believe.

Believe by Josh Groban

1-2-3-4

Philippine Music Charts Thread at PinoyExchange.com (PEx) is now on its 4th thread. The reason why there are "parts" is because threads over at PEx are regulated to have 5,000 posts only. Anyway, I could not believe that this little online project I started actually stayed this long. Well ,this thread was born due to the 2007 Yearend charts thread I started and I met some other chart aficionados like me and that started everything. I really manage this thread seriously kinareer ba? wahaha. I met a lot of online friends through this endeavor. And this year , amy chart geekiness went into full swing as evident in this blog (The Twenty Tunes and Chart Recap posts are now staples). I love music charts since I was a child and I really thought back then I was weird so I keep this passion to myself but last year I discovered I was not alone haha. You don't know how I really love doing this stuff. It's not your usual hobby but this, chart monitoring, is really fun for me. Sometimes I wish we have our own local version of Billboard, I will surely do all means to have a career there haha. But having this thread is the next best thing.

Historical Shoes




Iraqi journalist Muntadhar Al Zaidi's shoes made history! His shoes are forever immortalized in history as the shoes that almost hit outgoing U.S President George W. Bush during a press conference!
Seriously and strictly speaking, as a journalist, what Al Zaidi did was unprofessional especially that journalists are expected to be objective and dispassionate.
But can we blame him for doing that?
According Al Zaidi's brother, Muntadhar was provoked when Pres. Bush mentioned about a farewell gift to the Iraqi people, he then took of his shoes and threw them at Bush screaming in Arabic "This is a farewell kiss, you dog! This is from the widows, the orphans, and those who were killed in Iraq!".
Basically, he symbolized what most of his countrymen felt on the war. Yes, he was a journalist but also human and being a journalist does not stop him to feel emotion. Yes, he could have done it in a more graceful way but I could not blame him if he lost his cool during that moment , he may have felt that he could not stand that moment, feeling oppressed. As of the latest report I've read Al Zeidi is imprisoned, fate still unknown. But I do hope he will be set free, I really want to hear his side of the story.
Hmmm.... I wonder what happened to the shoes?

The Most Difficult "Job"


Today is the baptism of my nephew, John Kenneth Rodrigo Asombrado-Cruz. John Rod is almost 4 months old and he is really adorable. The baptism was a bit chaotic though since it was a mass baptism sort of. And the priest did a past faced ceremony, blink and you'll miss a lot. I was tasked to do the video coverage good thing though I was able to capture the best moments. We had few pictures because of the fast paced nature of the ceremony. Good thing we have a video. Sometimes, I wished we had video camera back in the day. Our baby pictures are almost non existent because they were burned when we suffered fire in Manila, where we used to live. I have picture of my baptism and what's great is that we were complete there. Anyway, I'm glad we have the access on these stuff, I'll have the video transferred to vcd and dvd so we could preserve it in years to come. Having my nephew I really realized how hard it is to raise a child, and it even made me feel guilty during the times I was mischievous son because taking care of a healthy baby is hard what more a sickly baby like me? I know understand why they were so protective of me when I was growing up, I was a very fragile child. Hats off to my parents! I'm proud to say I grew up to be a good guy haha they raised me well. Hopefully, someday when I will be a parent, I will be a good one too.

Yearender: Low Ain't Low in Billboard

This is the time of the year where I am so excited. Well aside from the holidays what I really look forward around this month are the YEAREND CHARTS haha.

Anyway, Billboard already release their yearend charts, starting today I would feature some highlights from their yearend charts. By the way in case you did not know, Billboard's chart year is altered it starts December of the outgoing year to November of the incoming year. Why? They need to do that since they have to release their yearend issue in time for December.
For today, I wil feature the Yearend Hot 100 featuring the top 100 singles of Billboard for 2008. Low by Flo Rida feat T-Pain topped the chart.


I was actually rooting for Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love (#2) or OneRepublic's Apologize (#5) but Low isn't that bad since it is really a memorable dance tune. Who could forget that insanely catchy chorus "apple bottom jeans, boots with a fur...." I know you could finish it It was also a banner year for Chris Brown as he have four songs in the top 20, #6 for Jordin Spark's No Air which he was a featured artist, #9 for With You, #10 for Forever and #19 for Kiss,Kiss. Brown's rumored girlfriend Rihanna also did well although none of her songs made it to the top 10 she still has three top 20 hits with Take a Bow at #12, Disturbia at #16 and Don't Stop The Music at #17. Rihanna is also at #37 as featured artist for T.I's Live Your Life. T.I's seven week #1 single Whatever You Like is at #15 , another seven week #1 single I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry is notch higher (#14). Rapper Lil Wayne has lots of entries in the chart with Lolllipop leading the pack at #4. Some of my favorites that made it to the Top 100 are Love Song by Sarah Bareilles (#7),Viva La Vida by Coldplay (#13), I'm Yours by Jason Mraz (#27), Shadow of the Day by Linkin Park (#55), Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade (#58), Say by John Mayer (#60), Love Like This by Natasha Bedingfield feat Sean Kingston (#72) and Addicted by Saving Abel (#97). There are 2007 hits who also made it to this year's tally such as Colbie Caillat's Bubbly (#21), Fergie's Big Girls Don't Cry (#78) and Timbaland's The Way I Are (#96). American Idol 2008 champion David Cook is at #69 with The Time of My Life while runner up David Archuleta is at #76 with Crush. Last year's winner Jordin Sparks also did well aside from No Air at #6, she also has two other singles that made the list Tattoo at #30 and One Step at a Time at #61. Britney Spears also charted with Womanizer at #80 and Piece of Me at #93. while veterans Mariah Carey and Madonna ranked right to next each other with Carey's Touch My Body at #22 and Madonna's 4 Minutes at #23. Disney acts were also represented as Miley Cyrus charted with her songs, See You Again at #31 and 7 Things #93 , and the Jonas Brothers' Burnin Up at #73. Over all the chart is still dominated by r&b and hip hop songs.

My Take on Survivor Philippines




As the first season of Survivor Philippines comes to a close, let me share my view on how the was show over all.
I love Survivor! Been a loyal viewer for years now. And I was really excited when GMA 7 announced that they got the franchise of the show. However, I was a bit skeptical on how they will they handle the show to suit to the taste of the general viewing public. Yes I was afraid that they would "cheapen" the show but then again I did not want to be a purist fan so I conditioned myself to be open minded because I do believe that GMA would need to adapt the format of the show to fit in to our culture but I was just hoping that their adaptation or changes they would inject won't really stay away from the essence of the show. Over all, it had a very solid season. The casting could have been better since my main complaint about the cast aways is that they are "redundant" meaning to say there is a lack of variety of personalities. But I could live with that because there were standouts that made the show interesting anyway. I enjoyed watching the show but I really dislike the schedule, making it daily made the show so slow plus the tribal council sessions are way too long. Which segues to my other point, the editing of the show is poor, if you watch the US version even though at first you would think you are sure of who would win a challenge or will get the boot but the editing of the show will make you re-think, this was what lacking for our local version especially in the first few weeks, some of the island scenes they air do not really inject a substantial input on the strategies of the castaways for the tribal council and sometimes they don't make any sense at all. Lastly, with the announcement that text votes will now be involved on determining the winner I was really disappointed. Yes, fine, the sole survivor won't be fully determined by votes since the eight jury votes will still matter and the text vote will serve as the 9th jury vote but still the people's choice thing really takes away the show's point. Some could defend the viewers should have a voice but then again we were NOT in the island and how we view the castaways are limited with what were edited on TV so for me it isn't really fair. And I really don't like that this show would become a popularity contest because for me it took away the edge of this show, In Survivor US, there were winners that weren't exactly crowd favorites but that is the edge for me of Survivor.We could whine all day that he or she did not deserve to win but that those were the results and well it could lead to analysis why he won or why the jury members voted that way. If GMA really wanted to have a viewers' involvement, they should have just resorted to voting for the castaway they really like overall and not just final 2, like the one in Survivor All Stars, where Rupert won the viewers' vote and was rewarded a million dollars as well. Oh well, what can I do, the "twist" irreversible. Maybe in succeeding seasons of the show I could live with that jury vote from viewers.
Anyway, despite my complaints I would still not say that our local version is disastrous (like Pinoy Idol haha), it was still an entertaining show but there is a wide room for improvement.
And lastly, I'm 95% sure JC will win, predictable but he deserves it anyway.

Must See Movie: 100


I really love this film, so pardon me because my mind is so scattered with raves for this movie so this wont be your typical review, therefore hindi maayos structure nito hehe but anyway basically what I am trying to say is WATCH THIS MAGNIFICENT MOVIE!

Plot Summary:

'100' chronicles the last three months of a cancer stricken woman who has a list of things to do before she dies. Her list of tasks, mostly closures and practical undertakings, expands to the worldly and the spiritual as people close to her share her last days. The film examines the betrayal of the body, celebrates the senses and contemplates the end of life and how to live it
Why I Love It:

* This movie is not just about death it is about the celebration of life. To say that this movie is touching is an understatement. After watching this movie I bet you would also think about where your life is heading. I maybe overreacting but hey this movie is really a gem, the way it handled the subject of facing death is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. To paint a picture, you will see your self laughing even though the scene is really breaking your heart. Even if the subject of the movie which is facing death, it could still leave you with a smile in your face.

* This is not a melodrama. There are many funny moments in the movie. I know some people perceive most indie movies are hard to understand due to off beat story telling ways or use of metaphors and symbols but this movie isn't but it will definitely not insult your intelligence also.

* The performance of the actors notably Mylene Dizon. I know Mylene is really a good actress but in this movie I saw her in a different light, she was really perfect for the character. She nailed it! You would really see her, you would feel what she is feeling. Her performance alone is worth watching and she did it effortlessly. But I am not discounting Eugene Domingo and TessieTomas who both delivered solid performances.

Where Could We Watch It?

This is a limited release so far,but hopefully it will reach a wider release once there would be a demand, so that's why I'm posting this to spread the word. This movie should be watch by a lot of people. Anyway, watch the film on the following cinemas (source: clickthecity.com) :

Glorietta 4 Cinema 4 Makati City
Padre Faura Cinema 1 Manila
Robinsons Galleria Cinema 9 Pasig City
SM City North Edsa Cinema 7 Quezon City
SM Megamall Cinema 8 Mandaluyong City

Last Day




Today is my last at day at work since my contract expires tomorrow and I opted not to renew. I do have two pending job applications where I was already interviewed but no one has given me a job offer so yes tomorrow, it will be back to bumhood for me. It sucks but if was my decision not to renew thus taking the risk of going back to being unemployed. The optimistic side of me tells that one of the companies (or probably both) will call me for a job offer next month since it is not really practical to hire new people during the holidays. I have to be patient. For now I will escape through reading my half read and unread books and watching VCDs and DVDS. And of course Internet surfing (hoping no more Internet trouble please)
I will really miss Fireball Planet, the people I worked with were really nice. Just sad that it did not really work for me.
So yeah my life after college is really disappointing so far. Hoping for a better year ahead.

The One with Pacquaio's Win, PC problems and Friends


I admit although I don't like Pacquiao anymore ever since he ran for Congressman last year, I was really happy when he won his bout with Oscar Dela Hoya earlier today. But when some politicians climbed the ring to congratulate I got so annoyed then Pacquiao thank all those politicians who were present there. Oh well, I will not be surprised if he will run again in the 2010 elections and no matter what he says that his intentions is to help the poor I will still not be in favor of him running.

I-O-U

Those letters that are malfunctioning in my laptop. Pahirapan ang pag type. Sometimes when if those letters won't really appear I resort to copy and pasting those letter, what a hassle really. Sometimes, I really need to press those letters hard, as in I exert so much pressure just to let those letters appear on screen. Bummer.

And well my Internet connection went kaput again for three days. It was so frustrating we were also on break in the office last Thursday and Friday so I really had no connection in the Internet. And the Internet is now really a big part of my life so it really frustrates me I have no connection. I feel incomplete haha.

I know I'm way too late, but I'm now officially a fan of the TV show FRIENDS. I was just a casual viewer back then when it was aired in ABC 5 and I just watched it when there is nothing on that I like. But now I'm really so in love with the show. It started when I bought the VCD box set of season 3 which was on sale and I got hooked ever since and I now understand why this show is such a phenomenon. The chemistry of the cast is so amazing. My favorite characters are Phoebe and Chandler. Lately I also bough the VCD boxsets of seasons 4 and 6 (also on sale). Well I plan to buy all VCD box set of every season that I could find but since I think they are already phased out I guess it will be hard for me to complete all VCD boxsets so for the seasons I missed I will just buy the DVD (which prices are also slashed but the VCD boxset is stil cheaper therefore I could buy more haha). By the way, my blog title today is inspired from Friends since, with the excpetion of the pilot and the series finale, all of their episode titles stats with "The One..."
