I switch channels and almost always find Katharine McPhee's "Over It" song playing on MTV. First time I heard it, I was overwhelmed with a sense of I-swear-I-heard-that-song-before. The culprit-tune kept slipping my mind, at first, but just last night, I could have sworn it was sung by a sweet looking girl with curly hair. Something that sounds likely for teens to swoon over and claim as their song of the moment for at least 5-times in their pathetic, angst-ridden, and confused teenage phase.
Alas, presented below are the choruses of the two tracks in point.
Key for the similarity are the song writers behind both, as explained in Greg Fanoe's blog.
I would like to reiterate, though, that although I appreciate this kind of music, my heart still beats to the tune of rock so worry not that I have grown soft only a few months after Rockstar Supernova.
I have for the longest time sustained a cerebral boner owing to the brains behind Diesel's print ads and seasonal campaigns. IMHO, they've the best marketing strategists and conceptualizers in the known multiverse! The latest they came up with is "The Return of Sister Yes" to pimp their latest line of jizz-inducing "most advanced eyeware units in the universe."
Ever heard of anything with integrated "3000G Technology" capable of giving users access to "Emotional Networking," "Hypernet" and "Hypermail" connectivity, and "Foresight" among a host of other far-out-into-the-future features? I still drool over the work that has gotten into this unique concept.
See the demo via Diesel's website and get yourself treated to a triple dose of WOW!
Seeing this in stores made me all goldfishy inside. Moom-moom-moooooom, my heart went. It's a marketing concept that's undeniably well planned and executed. First there were 10s and now there are 5s. Tapping more of the stick sales market via convenient foil packed ciggies.
So Winston has long copied Marlboro 10s. Feh! But Marlboro would have had a far enough head start with this innovation before the competition catches up.
The sachets Marlboro 5s come with are displayed in sari-sari stores like, think shampoos, fabric softeners, coffee, creamers, and Boy Bawang, affordably priced at P7.50 a pack.
How many guys in Spider-Man suits can fit inside a Jamba Juice
Whodathunk that Jack TV airs up-to-date episodes of The Late Show with David Letterman? I was lazily waiting for Mr. sandman to visit late last night when I happened upon the channel. Dave was drinking a Jamba Juice smoothie off a venti-sized cup, sorry Starbucks, that led him to show the facade of the store across the street from theater where they shoot the show in. Then popped the question, "How many guys in Spider-Man suits can fit inside a Jamba Juice?" One, Spidey. Two. Then three. And then I lost count.
An otherwise quiet night turned riotous as I LOLed and shed LOL-tears, in exaggerated excess, moreso when they sent in Fatty-Spidey. Watch until the clincher ending.
After close to two weeks, Play Underground, the wall-climbing gym facility at the 3rd Level Basement of the Power Plant Mall in Rockwell, Makati, now opens it's gates to the public with new, better, and improved walls for anyone and everyone.
As shown in the photo on the right, the over-all set-up has not changed. They retained what we snotty regulars call the "beginner's block," 6-columns of easy routes all placed side-by-side on the left portion of the wall. They had them colored blue, to match the mattress, maybe, I could only speculate.
Having been to many different wall-climbing facilities in the vicinity, what sets Play Underground apart from its competition is the well thought of physical arrangement of the "holds" they put up on those walls. The rocks are not just there in random order. They are placed there painstakingly, one by one, each serving a purpose, be it to make the inexperienced enjoy the introduction they will have to the sport or serve as a professional training facility to those who take on wall-climbing as a form of regular workout. The friendly staff who all exhibit and share much love for the sport often add coded tapes on some holds so regulars get a route that is as challenging as climbing the now beige-colored intimidating inclines.You will get to appreciate the science of the holds more once you set yourself off trying those over-hangs and over-clings and lactic-acid-inducing vertical-backward inclines.
The open-air setup dries the rock holds so they don't get moist and slippery, unlike those in Market Market and CSA Dasma. Dryness gives a somewhat reassuring feeling that the rocks you are holding are hygienic. Well, maybe not a hundred percent, but at least they're dry.
I decided to take a peek at the renovated playground on Sunday, just this afternoon, to find two still-bare columns that are still being treated with a face lift by the able Buddy Advincula of Play Underground. I got to talking to him and the staff telling them how over-excited I was when I found out they finally opened. Looking at the new walls made me wail in anticipation. They look fierce and may well be twice as inclined as they were before and therefore more challenging than ever. I fear it will take more than a month for me to get accustomed to the new challenges. On the bright side, we'll now have an edge come the next competition in November which we may join, hopefully.
People process thoughts at a pace: one after another. They could either be simple or complex, oftentimes formless. Some with hyper metabolic rates have a thought process pace that is faster than others. Crazies have random thoughts that do not go through normal processing and the pace could overlap giving it no sense at all. Pluck a single thought, give it form through words, mesh it with other related thoughts, and you get a blog.
I want to be lots of things, mostly fictional. Sometimes I space out thinking I'm cool and smart and witty, and I think I'm doing a great job having others think that way, too. And I know you think all these are just crap! I'll drink to that! Cheers!
