Most of the people leaving entrecard always have this word in their mouth: BOUNCE RATE. They always complain that the traffic it produces is junk simply because they have lots of bounce rates which makes their blog stats ugly. I’m one of the guys who actually believed that bounce rates can really damage my blog’s performance leading to no search engine appreciation at all. But instead of removing my entrecard, I still cling on because of one reason. Most of my traffic comes from entrecard. And it’s like, remove it and my blog will die. That was until I read this post by Turnip…

This could be the biggest break that you’ve been waiting for as the Grammy-award winning artist Alicia Keys is looking for a background singer to be part of her “As I Am” World Tour.
I recall that I was the last in my family (of 3 girls) to ever appreciate the benefits of cosmetics or makeup. Although I was always intrigued when I watched my mom perform her morning ritual of putting color on her face. Its just that I was hesitant for a long time to pick up the skills she so clearly displayed with putting on makeup.
My entrance into the corporate world was not exactly colorful… literally. My dad used to reprimand me for not even putting on lipstick as I ran out the door. He would always say I looked anemic. That time my only constant companion was Pond’s face powder and nothing more.

Let’s all fanboy him and do kawaii signs because we’re idiots and we’ll die within the next 3 minutes! The APC in front of them explodes. The soldiers try to protect TONY STARK the best way they could- by getting killed and leaving TONY STARK to fend for himself.

We’ve all been following the news about La Mancha’s World Pyro Olympics, and we’ve all witnessed the delays and changes in the line-up of participants for this year’s WPO. But guess what? Tuloy na tuloy na!! Yes, the 2008 World Pyro Olympics will start this Saturday, May 3rd and there’s no stopping this grand pyrotechnics event in the Philippines (NOT even strong winds and heavy rain - we were there during the 1st WPO, twice it rained hard, but the show went on!)
Go visit my blog now to see the final schedule, the final list of participants, and the posters and announcements plastered all-over SM Mall of Asia, the world’s 3rd Largest Mall.

Time Magazine released its fifth annual list of the world’s 100 most influential people for 2008. Making it to this year’s list are singing sensations Mariah Carey and Miley Cyrus.
The set-up: Three young Filipina singers with strikingly pristine voices sing a medley of timeless OPM hits–an exquisite highlight of a musical special broadcast on TV a few years back. An audio clip of their live performance is posted below.
The challenge: Guess who these three angelic voices are. All of them are (or were) well-known, especially in the fields of music and theater. Keen observers of the local music scene should find it easy to identify them based on the quality of their voices. First one who gets all three names right (in no particular order) wins.
The prize: P2,000 worth of gift checks–P1,000 each from Levi’s and Max’s Restaurant.
