My Random Thoughts

Do you know that the Jabbawokeez, the dance group that is best known for having a mime and kabuki-style dance steps and won the 2007 Dance Crew in Us is now in the Philippines. That's right, they've just arrived this morning based on the news that I've read from Sikat Ang Pinoy news portal. The article said that the group which is composed of several skillful dancers including 4 pinoy dancers, will be performing this Sunday at ASAP - a noon time variety show in ABS-CBN in the Philippines.

Another thing that added is that this dancers will be performing with Kris Allen this coming February and will be staying here in the country for two months. Well, I like how this group dances and I am really impressed with the grace and art they deliver to audiences. How about you do you like their steps?

I'll be at home this January 23, to watch the fight between Juan Manuel Lopez and Steve Luevano in a featherweight bout scheduled for 12-round fight in the Madison Square Garden at the WaMu theater. The undefeated Juan Manuel Lopez moves up to featherweight and challenge Luevano. Aside from this big event in HBO BAD (Boxing After Dark), another featherweight bout on a separate occasion will happen between Yuri Gamboa and Rogers Mtagwa.

Joshua Clottey of Ghanna will be fighting against the best and sikat ang pinoy Manny Pacquiao. They are scheduled to fight on March 13, 2010 at the Cowboys Stadium in Texas. This welterweight fight is a showdown of two great fighters of our time. Clottey being an olympic player and once become a hard to beat opponent of Miguel Cotto have been tapped by Top Rank Promotions to fight Pacquiao after Mayweather vs Pacquiao didn't happen because of some issues and terms that wasn't agreed by both parties.

Some people are saying that Pacquiao vs. Clottey match is not that really exciting compared to Pacquiao vs. Mayweather. However, Freddie Roach and Bob Arum said that this fight will be one of the most difficult fight that will be experienced by the people's champ. Actually they are already starting to train to prepare for this upcoming fight.

Well, what do you think, is it that really interesting or just a fight that you will allow to pass and then forget? Visit Telepisodes.com for more information about this Clottey vs Pacquiao fight.

The Mosley vs Berto fight this coming January 30, 2010 is one of the fight that you shouldn't missed. Despite Shane Mosley is less popular compared to Mayweather, Dela Hoya and Pacquiao still he can be the best fighter of his time. At his age, this opportunity to fight the quick and the undefeated Andre Berto to show to the world that he is worth a fighter to match the level of Mayweather and Pacquiao.

If given a chance and won on this fight, I believe Shane Mosley can give a great show for boxing fans around the world against Mayweather. I don't know why Mayweather keeps on dodging Mosley and Pacquiao. Maybe he is really afraid to fight against strong boxers. Now, if you are searching for place to watch the fight, you can go to the following site:

One of the most difficult part of redesigning your home is choosing the right furniture, colors and decor that you will put in every corner and spaces of your house. It seems that its difficult to choose the right one that will fit to your taste and will give a "wow" feeling to your guest. This is the reason why a lot of people chooses to get an interior designer to think about this and do all the selection process. However, in some cases, you are doing it on your own. It is up to you if what motif or theme that you want for the rooms and parts of your home.

My advice is that whenever, you choose a rug or carpet for your floors, select the natural rugs. Its eco-friendly and biodegradable. Aside from that its natural appearance makes it to have a distinctive beauty that is so unique that when you spread it on the floor, you will see how the area rug will bring life to your dull floors. If you want to search for a rug, go to the Rug Portal for variety of information regarding purchasing floor decors and tips in making a home that is great for you to live in.

If I will be given a chance to let my children get a prestigious school, I will let them study on a Steiner education like those in Maine like the Merriconeag Waldorf School. Here are the reasons why:

* Waldorf Education Curriculum - it is based on the research on the child development conducted by Austrian educator and philosopher, Rudolf Steiner (1861 – 1925) which fundamental concept is the recognition that each human being is a unique individual who passes through distinct life stages and that it is the responsibility of education to address the intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual needs of each developmental stage.

* Facilities - Merriconeag Waldorf School has four state-of-the-art buildings: an Early Childhood Center, two classroom buildings housing Grades 1 – 8, and a Community Hall for student performances, assemblies and school-wide gatherings.

If in case my child will be enrolled on this institution, I am sure that he will grow to become a great man of the society. By the way I found this video from Merriconeag Waldorf School where the teacher teach French to 10th grade students:

My website Laganap:Sikat ang Pinoy has reach 1 month old and been doing some little traffic despite the its limited audience because of the dialect (Tagalog) that is used to write the articles on the site. Aside from that its difficult to find this days about people who falls on the topic discussed which is SIKAT ANG PINOY. That is the reason why most of the time the site only features Pacquiao, Charice, Efren, Apple and others. Its because these pinoys have given the country honor on the past year.

They are also the faces that I put on a video that I made specially for the promotion of the Laganap website. Here's the video:



Now, here is the lyrics of the background music of the video:

Sikat ang Pinoy
by Toni Gonzaga and Sam Milby

Lagi nang napapansin
Pinoy ay may ibang dating
Kahit na anong gawin
Ay kayang-kaya natin

Iba ?
Hanggat kaya'y ibibigay
Kitang-kita ang galing
Lahat ay kaya ngang gawin

CHORUS
Sikat na sikat ang pinoy
(Sikat ang pinoy !) Kahit saan mapunta
Kitang-kita mo naman
ang kagalingan (kagalingan mo)
Iba ang galing ng pinoy
(Galing ng pinoy !)
Malayong mararating
Ipagmalaki mo
Na kaya natin

Sikat ang pinoy
Kahit saan mapunta
Sasabihin ko
Pinoy Ako (Pinoy Ako)
Pinoy Tayo ! Kaya natin 'to !
Sikat ang Pinoy!
(Sikat ang Pinoy ! ) Sikat ang Pinoy !

Pinoy 'y ating maaasahan
Kailan ma'y di ka iiwan
Handang tumulong sa iyo
Ano man ang pagdaanan mo

Lumalaban sa hamon ng buhay
Hanggang sa ating tagumpay
Mahirap man pagdaanan
Kayang kaya natin 'yan'
REPEAT CHORUS except last line

REFRAIN
Sumigaw at sabihin mong "Pinoy Ako"
Ang galing mong angkin
Ipakita sa mundo (Ipakita sa mundo)

REPEAT CHORUS except last line 2x

Sikat ang Pinoy! (Sikat ang pinoy) (5x)

One of the Marvel Comics hero that I really love to come to life is the rich man Iron Man and its on 2nd movie Iron Man 2, I will definitely watch it on 3D cinemas to fully appreciate the special effects of the movie. As I have seen the full HD trailer of the said film, my eagerness and desire to watch it increases more. However, I need to wait until May 2010 before I could really watch the said Robert Downey Jr. masterpiece. Based on the trailer, see how Whiplash kick Iron man's as5 as he destroy the happy go lucky guy's cool race car plus the sexy Black Widow was revealed on the trailer which is played by the sexy and lovely Scarlett Johansson.

If you weren't able to watch the official trailer, then watch it here:

"I am also wondering if Pinoy movies will be made like this. I think the country is almost ready to make films that can pass to international taste. Actually there are some who already made a peek on the international scene." - Sikat ang Pinoy 2010
