Christina Aguilera’s ‘Not Myself Tonight’ Music Video Review

Posted on April 30, 2010 by Yoshke in Celebrities, Music, Rants | 3 Comments

Well, not really a review. More like a rant. I just hate it that people are saying that Christina Aguilera is ripping off Lady Gaga and Madonna in her newly launched music video “Not Myself Tonight.” First of all, I really don’t see any Lady Gaga resemblance in that video. She’s been crazy since Dirrty. It just annoys me that people are claiming Christina is copying Lady GaGa’s kinky moves when we all know Christina pushed the boundaries of teen … →

Mother Like No Other

So I spent my weekend with my family in Batangas. God, if you’re complaining it’s hot here in Manila, it’s way hotter over there. There was never a moment I didn’t agree with Thomas Edison that genius is 99% perspiration. Good thing there was too much food back there, I was always gorging on something — watermelons, green mangoes, buko, ice cream, name it. It’d been a month since I last visited our house in Batangas but a lot had … →

The Crazy Christina Aguilera – Lady Gaga Comparison

Posted on April 22, 2010 by Yoshke in Celebrities, Music, Rants | 21 Comments

I just don’t get it! I don’t understand why in the world would people try to lambaste Christina Aguilera for the supposed “attempt to copy Lady Gaga” with her new single “Not Myself Tonight” and upcoming album “Bionic.“ It’s not secret. I adore Christina Aguilera. I have blogged about her so many times. I have a copy of all her albums. I even started saving for the first time in my life just to see her on concert (the Manila … →

The Writings on the Wall | Funny Posters around the Philippines

Sometimes when we feel so alone and sad, all we need to do is look around us. Many times, the things that will make us happy and forget all our problems for a moment are just around the corner, written or posted on a wall somewhere. I was organizing my gallery when I stumbled upon some old photos that really made me ROTL. I took these pictures at different places across the country and  with the intention of blogging about … →

We Walk Like We Rule the World

Posted on April 14, 2010 by Yoshke in Euphoria, Love | 39 Comments

I have always loved walking. Back in college, I never took a jeepney to go from one class to another even though the next building was on the other side of the UP Diliman campus. If I could walk, I would. There’s just something in walking that is therapeutic. It’s my way of reflecting on my life, planning my day, and squeezing all my creative juices out. Never mind if it takes too much time and effort. It was never … →

Top 10 Movie Sound Effects

Posted on April 11, 2010 by Yoshke in Lists, Movies | 3 Comments

Note: I originally wrote this article for Crunkish.com. It was first published in April 2007. Three years later, allow me to post this on my own blog. Watching a movie without sound effects is like not watching at all. Even back in the early 1900s, when films were all silent, people have tried to simulate real-life sounds by producing sound effects live, while the movie was being projected. Sound effects make a better movie-viewing experience by producing sounds that we … →

Oh yeah, Christina Aguilera is bringin’ it. Four agonizing years of waiting after her last studio album was released, the small girl who owns the greatest voice of this generation finally gave some sneak peek of her upcoming album Bionic (out June … →
