And has been for the last 15 years.
A 12 year old 6th grader I was. Fell in love with these girly looking boys (blame their long hair) but really it is their music that swept me off of my feet but it doesn’t hurt that they’re so good looking and charming and funny.
(Just some of my Hanson stuff as some are stored in a very big box as I need more space in my room.)
I remember to always buy their cd’s in multiple numbers to have myself some back up if ever something happens to the first one I’m using, their albums are that important to me. I cannot even imagine myself not listening to their Middle of Nowhere cd. It is always in my Sony discman and I wouldn’t leave home without it. I listen to their beautiful voice from the moment I wake up and just before I sleep. MTV was always on because their video might come up and I’d go crazy if I miss it. Just seeing them made me giddy with happiness.
Obsessing over them didn’t stop there. I even bought those imported magazines especially if they’re in the cover spending 6th grader allowance on them. And they’re not cheap! One magazine cost Php 300! And sometimes even more expensive and that was on year 1997-1998. But I didn’t mind as I loved reading anything about them. I know their favorite food, hobbies and so on. That made me feel like I knew them personally and somehow there’s a connection between us even though in reality they might not be sure that they have a Filipino fan as crazy as I was back then.
The walls of my rooms was full of their posters. My whole clan knows how crazy I was for them and they gave me gifts Hanson related. Oh and I even joined a Channel V contest that would bring the winner to Hong Kong to watch their concert and meet them. Man, I sent too many entries. I didn’t win the grand prize but they sent me some Hanson thingies including their cd. I love that point in my life, I was floating, high with Hanson. ♥
Of course life brings sadness as well. Their music helped me go through it. When no one understood, they did, through their music. There was a time in my life when I can’t fit in, ‘Weird’ was the song of my life then. Then ‘I Will Come To you’ was next.
Then year 2003 came. I was in the school’s library/internet area. I read that Taylor got married. That crushed me. Tears fell down my cheeks and I was unconscious about it. It was only when my friend asked why I was crying that brought me back to reality.
Then year 2004 Hanson finally came to the Philippines for a concert, the event I was waiting for since 1997. BUT I wasn’t able to go. That really got to me and years has passed I still have that regret of not seeing Taylor in person. I wondered if they’re ever going back. Then last November I read that they’re coming here!!! I was so happy and started to talk about it in Facebook. BUT. I still wasn’t sure if I can come. My predicament then was that March is way too far ahead for me to be sure that I am in the Philippines by then. So I didn’t buy then. Come January, and after thinking about it a lot of times, I gave in. I’d make a way to be here by March. I NEED TO SEE TAYLOR IN PERSON. That’s my lifelong dream haha. Really. I have wished for that to happen so many times before and now there’s this chance of it happening and I won’t let it pass me again.
I finally have my ticket! Yey! Taylor, Ike and Zac I’ll be seeing you! Can’t wait for March.

Lastly, I would LOVE to meet them in person (as in in a meet and greet kind of thing) but I think I’d freeze and I don’t want to make myself look stupid in front of them. So nah!
Now everyone who call themselves Hanson fans need to show support by going to their concert and not just blab about being one and not do anything. Come and enjoy with fellow Hanson fans. Let’s enjoy their music together. Who knows when they’re coming back here so don’t let the chance pass you by. Buy your tickets now.
This is hilarious! I only got to watch this scenes of How I Met Your Mother two days ago and I swear, I had to repeat playing this part again and again… I think I played this over and over for an hour and that is with no exaggeration at all.
And he can really sing!
I love how in the last part (when he used an autotune) he sings like he is in a boy band! Like he’s a Backstreet Boy or an ‘NSync member haha.
I’ve always known that Neil Patrick Harris can act but this scenes really made his mark on me. He acts so well he’s so great at being a womanizing arse when in reality he’s a proud gay man.
Is it bad to admit he’s the only reason why I watch How I Met Your Mother? He is the life of this show. This is so far my favorite episode ever. I believe that if any other actor plays Barney especially in this scene, this wouldn’t turn out as funny as hell as this.
Clap! Clap! Clap! He’s so black. Legen-dary! (If you know what I mean, right Barney?)
P.S. I hope what he uses in the end really is called an autotune or auto voice tune. I really have no idea about this kinds of things. Not even hdmi video cables or psp cables I need effort to use oh my how embarrassing is this.
I know…. This is very old but I haven’t seen this. I tried searching for this online many times but I thought there is none uploaded. Finally, I found them! One of the most exciting season for me and I might be a little biased here hehehhe….
I hope they do go back though and show the world that the image of Manila is not the totality of the Philippines. Philippines is a gorgeous country with all the islands we have (the 7, 100+) and every foreigner who’s able to see Philippines and not only Manila really do say that it is gorgeous and SO UNDERRATED. Blame all the bad press I say. Abu Sayyaff has made us popular in a bad way.
Mommy, Bee and I want to travel all around the Philippines first, with all the gorgeous places to find why go else where first? Maybe after we’re done with the Philippines then we’ll go around the world. All these after we HIT JACKPOT in superlotto or Toto hehehe…
So for those who wasn’t able to catch it years and years ago, well here it is. I love Amazing Race! They rock.
First part, Philippine leg. Getting a flight out of New Zealand to Manila, Philippines.

When you are feeling down and low, how do you handle it? Well I look for things to get my mind off things, and watch funny videos. And today I felt the need to laugh. And I remembered Kanto Boys. They are a group of Filipino actors who has their respective careers in showbiz who group together to perform funny dance numbers in ABS-CBN’s Sunday noon time variety show ASAP XV, now on their 15th year hence, the XV in it.
Kanto Boys is composed of John Lloyd Cruz (cousin haha!), Vhong Navarro, Luis Manzano and Billy Crawford. Billy and Vhong are dancers meaning they can really dance while John Lloyd and Luis are primarily actors so it they’re not really good dancers that’s why it looks hilarious whenever they try to keep up with the dancers in the group.
I love how “game” the guys are. Not afraid to look funny or even gay because of some dance steps. That for me shows that the man (or in this case, men) is secured with himself and his masculinity.
Here is the newly elected Congressman Manny Pacquiao. Boy Filipinos just love making jokes about him. But we sure are fond of him. I like him as he seems so humble and genuinely nice.
Found this in Facebook. Great editing by the way.
Haha. Cutie. Funny.
Gossip girl heard/read something!
Wow this is nice to hear. They have adopted a baby or a kid and no one outside of showbiz has seen the baby.
I want to see him/her! Lucky baby. Seems like this couple has a good head on their shoulders. the moment I heard about this, how I see them changed. Someone who adopts have a good heart.
I for one have wanted to adopt since I was what around 10? Went to orphanages to hold the babies. The process is just grueling and it’s financially draining.
But I wish this couple good luck in beginning their married life (in Canada, they’re migrating after the wedding with target date of January 11, 2011, Pep.ph reports) and becoming parents to a precious baby.
OMG. I am such a chismax girl hahah! It’s interesting to know stories about other people. I guess this is the reason why I like browsing celebrity gossip sites. It makes me not think about my life while I read about theirs. Hmmmn I still think I’m pretty normal with this inclination to gossips regarding celebrities. I just have the guts to admit this.
Just to clarify though, I am into Hollywood and even local showbiz gossips and not neighborhood gossips ok? That type I hate. Haha.
So Kristine Hermosa is engaged to Oyo Sotto. Wedding will be next year, 2011 and that the pre-requisites for the wedding has been accomplished. Dina Bonnevie, Oyo Sotto’s mom and soon to be Mom-In-Law of Kristine’s confirmed this through an interview in Showbiz News Ngayon with episode last July 12. The mother and son duo has already asked for Kristine’s hand for marriage (pamamanhikan).Hmmmn, they haven’t even confirmed they’re together and now they’re getting married next year? Well, their relationship is an open-secret kind of thing anyway. Good for them. Got this Kristine bit from shannen143.wordpress.com.

Oyo actually looks better with hair and in suit. Hehe. We often walk pass each other in Festival mall years ago and I didn’t find him attractive but he is now. And Kristine of course is really pretty and I find her nice. If I’m the guy I’d want to keep her forever too.
Btw, I’ve been watching past seasons of Grey’s Anatomy. It’s an awesome show and I wonder when can we expect to watch a show like this locally? Not one where you somehow know the ending of the series after you watch the very first episode.
I love Grey’s A, House MD, Desperately Housewives and loved Prison Break. These are the kind of shows that are worth watching in HDTV‘s. So for now I’ll just content myself with what’s available.
Received a call from someone from Studio 23…..
Sana talaga!
Ok, I won’t keep my hopes up…..
Just pretend like it doesn’t matter heheheh…….
