2012

Ok. Maybe this time, you have already heard the 2012 prediction. I'm not talking about the movie. In case , you have no idea what I'm talking about, I'll try to give you a summary of the story. The date or should I say the title, 2012, was made famous by Nostradamus, a French apothecary, whose most predictions came true. According to the interpretations of his prediction on 2012, it will be the end of days. How true is this? Nostradamus just predicts without any sources or materials that can support his predictions. But still, most of them came true. The scary part is, there is one strong information that it could come true. And that's the Mayan calendar. The Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012. Why? On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years. This means that "whatever energy typically streams to Earth from the center of the Milky Way will indeed be disrupted on 12/21/12 at 11:11 p.m. Universal Time. But astronomers agreed that Maya themselves would have known that. I doubt that the ancient Maya have knowledge about events like these. So whether this prediction of 2012 is true or not, I suggest that we should just go on with our lives not rely on what will happen on this date.

I'm Back...

I have been busy for the past few months. But now, I'm back. I'll try to post some new stuffs on my blog and add some videos that might interest you. Since I'm a huge fan of guitar players, maybe I'll start by posting some interesting videos of guitarists around the world. And since I'm a Filipino, maybe I'll start off with Asian and maybe even Filipino guitarists.

Beauty And The Geek

Have you seen the reality show Beauty and the Geek? I've been watching it lately. I think I have seen all seasons. Just love watching it. Seeing beautiful girls and watching those geeky stuffs. It's a very entertaining show wherein you see the transformation from geeks to cool guys and from dumb hot girls to real true sweet hearts. The best thing from watching it is the lessons you will be able to learn from the beauties and the geeks. It's simply not by judging the book by its cover. I've seen one season where one beauty didn't change at all. And that cost from winning because of how she treated each person in the house. She's the typical beauty b*tch. Someone who only wants rich people and likes to manipulate others and want to be cute all the time. And, oh yeah, she's dumb. Beauty only last a few years, when you get old, it's the beauty that's inside you that still remains. So start being beautiful from the inside and respect other people. Try to be real but good and don't use anyone to make yourself happy. Life is full of trials and disappointments but with the beauty inside us and with the geekiness in our hearts, we can start and make this world a better place.

Pinoy Idol vs Pinoy Dream Academy

I would like to talk about this two singing contest here in the Philippines. American Idol is already finished and they have David Cook as their big winner. The show was a big success and every year, the show grows bigger with a millions of viewers all over the world. Will that be the fortune of the new Pinoy Idol? I have seen some episodes of Pinoy Idol, I hate to say it but it's kinda boring to watch. Not because of the contestants but as a whole. It looks dry and so serious. I don't want to make any comparisons from Pinoy and American Idol, but you can't avoid it from being compared. American already have 7 seasons while in the Philippines, I don't know if this is the first or second. Why? We all know that there was Philippine Idol aired at ABC 5. That was the first as far as I'm concerned. Now, GMA 7 got the rights to have the Idol and changed it to Pinoy Idol and the question "who will be the next Pinoy Idol" always being asked which means that Philippine Idol from ABC 5 didn't exist. Anyway, I was able to watch Pinoy Idol and just can't help myself from being bored. From the settings to the scripts, etc.. They are really trying to copy American Idol but the materials aren't that good. I really don't know if I should write this but Raymond, the host, should loosen up and not to be serious. Which leads me to Pinoy Dream Academy from the other network, ABS CBN 2.

Pinoy Dream Academy is the pinoy version of Endemol's Star Academy. I have some episodes and it didn't bore me. I know that it's a different format from Pinoy Idol. But I watch American Idol and it didn't bore either. I really think it has to do with the script, settings, judges and host. I don't know what's missing but it's dry. ABS CBN did the right move by getting Billy Crawford as their host. He can definitely make the show alive and colorful. He's great in not sticking to the script and do some adlibs and joke around. I think that's the missing ingredient of Raymond. Ryan Seacrest may have some script to do but still, he puts some adlibs that loosen up the show. Pinoy Idol doesn't have to copy American Idol, from settings to the scripts to the judges. Anyway, this is just (as they say) the first season of Pinoy Idol. There are still time for them to improve on the next season.
