To those wondering and questioning whether Arnel Pineda is still with Journey, here is your solid answer– Journey announces the upcoming release of its second album with Arnel entitled “Eclipse” due to be out exclusively via Walmart on May 24th, 2011.

The album features 12 tracks including one instrumental track. It is produced and recorded by Kevin Shirley, and mixed by David Kalmusky. Listen to some of the tracks…

MANILA, Philippines – The U.S. government said Sunday it made an “honest mistake” when it displayed an inverted Philippine flag — which wrongfully signified that the Southeast Asian nation was in a state of war — in a meeting hosted by President Barack Obama.

Two Cents…

It is ludicrous to say that this carelessness is a reflection of Obama or the US but you’d think in a convergence of political leaders among nations, with the US as host- someone would put in some attention to detail considering there are only ten, TEN flags to think about!! The ten-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) includes Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

I found this news rumor on Broadwayworld.com.

Broadway World is such a respectable site for everything Broadway/Theater and the like. It is very surprising to find how they can run a story without validation. Nonetheless, their main source is from the Philippine Daily Inquirer and it quoted Charice’ manager Grace Mendoza.

“The Phillippine Daily Inquirer confirms that Charise, the Philippina singing sensation will join the cast of GLEE next season. Her manager, Grace Mendoza, tells the Inquirer: “Yes, it’s true, Charice will soon join GLEE… And not just as a guest, but as part of the cast in a new season.” [Note: Yes, they've misspelled Charice name and Filipina!]

Digging into it because I am a huge Glee fan, I found out the link to the Inquirer doesn’t exist anymore. Either they have been removed because it was false or they intentionally put the story up without confirmation other than rely on the manager’s words. In which case, I strongly suggest Charice fire her own manager for starting out an incredible story that isn’t true.

Meron akong gustong ibahagi para sa ating lahat na mga PILIPINO. Simple pero parang mahirap gawin ng karamihan sa atin. Hindi ito makukuha sa puro daldalan lang or walang kabuluhang pagtatalo, kumilos tayo ngayon na.

Disclosure:

I have not decided yet on who to vote on 2010, but I already have my shortlist. Likewise, I am not working or affiliated with any political groups.  This post should not be construed as an endorsement, rather in the spirit of social responsibility, I am sharing with  Filipino readers what our would be Presidents has  to offer. MV is a serious contender, he puts his money where his mouth is. — Sonnie

It’s a privilege to be invited, together with another 5 bloggers, to have round table discussion with Sen. Manny Villar at Bo’s Coffee, Boni High Street.

This is the 3rd time I was invited to meet with a Presidentiable. First with Sen. Mar Roxas, 2nd with MMDA Chair Bayani Fernando, but I begged off because of conflict in schedule, and this meet up with Sen. Manny Villar.

When invited then by the group of Mr. Palengke, I’m a bit hesitant because I am not into political blogging, but heck, I will vote for a new President on 2010 and It’s only proper to get to know them up-close , to make an intelligent choice

With the 3 hour meeting, the blogger’s took time to ask questions and know MV, the man, his principles and what he can offer to the republic.

Study says that people work faster when constantly interrupted but in effect produces less and poor results.

If you are a Filipino or you have been in the Philippines, I’m sure you know what “Filipino Time” means. Its like DST (daylight saving time) but only backwards. Seriously, its about the extra 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours —being late that is very common and acceptable in the country.

The Filipinos abroad are exempted from this phenomenon. [read more...]

President Macapagal-Arroyo brushed off criticisms about the purported snubbing she received from US President Barack Obama, who she failed again to meet Thursday when both leaders attended the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C.

“There was no snub at all. Where did all these reports come from? He acknowledged me during his speech,” Ms Arroyo told reporters Monday.

Asked to elaborate, she said: “He winked at me during his speech.”

No, I’m not talking about those websites where they will ask you to click a few ads just to stare at it for a few minutes. (Isn’t that what happens?)

I’m talking about your own business. A small profitable enterprise where you can use your creativity and skills. A real business that provides a solution for a customer’s problem.

It could be a pure on-line business where you provide only information or certain solutions to clients or a combination of traditional (off-line) and web-based (on-line) business.

I’ve been in business (off-line) for 12 years but I have only started my on-line business since mid 2007. It has been a very rewarding learning experience since I started one. [Read More]

At last. The long wait is almost over. I’ve always been a Palm fan. Every time there is a new model, I try my best to find an excuse to upgrade and I would do so. (like dropping it on purpose – just kidding)

Here is the list of Palm devices I bought for the last 10 years:
Palm Pilot III
Palm V
Palm M515
Palm Tungsten T3
Palm TX
Palm Treo 600
Palm Treo 650

Does it take money to make money? Many people say that it takes money to make money.

Then there are those who say that it doesn’t take money to make money. They usually say that all you need is an imagination.

You can’t decide whether to start a business or not. This might be your dilemma. If ever you decide to start, how much are you willing to risk?

It was a few weeks ago. My family and I decided to go to Mall of Asia. It was a weekend. I was preparing myself to the reality that parking will be so hard!

As we entered the parking area, I knew I was right, parking was full. Looking around, we saw many red dots, one each on top of every parking spot. The red dots were LED lights. So you see hundreds of those lights floating around.

Just got this from Kevin Rivers:

“”By introducing this new business model for our digital distribution services, we’re able to put in a huge effort and go beyond a normal distribution method to establish a personal relationship with each artist and label to help them strive to reach their true sales and music potential.”

If you’re a Filipino indie artist/band, this is good news! There’s quite a number of tracks by Pinoy musicians on the site already! Check my latest startup in beta.watunes.com
