The Desperate Episode
Here is the Desperate Housewives episode that made controversial headlines especially in the Philippines:
Desperate Housewives – Philippine Med Schools
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb4thLBKkm4]
This is an issue of racial descrimination. But what’s my take on this issue?
There are a very few movies or tv series (if there is any, indeed) related to accounting or the lives of professional accountants, very rare is the opportunity to demonstrate the descrimination against Filipino CPA’s or accounting professionals in movies or tv series.
What do you think? hehe
Dear Kuya
Here is the song that OFW’s could especially relate to, Dear Kuya by Sugarfree in their latest album Tala-Arawan.
Dear kuya, kumusta ka na dyan?
Anong balita, malamig ba dyan?
Dito mainit pero kung bumagyo,
Para bang lahat ng tubig sa mundo ay nanditoMatagal na rin, mula nang ika’y magpasyang subukan
ang swerte, at abutin ang yong mga pangarap
Sa ibang bansa kung saan ikaw ay laging mag-isa
kami tuloy dito, nag-aalalaNasan ka man ngayon, ano mang oras na
ika’y may kailangan, tawag ka lang sa amin
at parang nandito ka na rinOo nga pala, kung nasayo pa ang checkered na polo ko,
sa yo na yan.
Hanap kana rin ng maraming mapapaglibangan dahil balita ko
mahal daw ang sine dyan
Dambuhala raw mga pinapakain dyan
tataba ka malamang.
Miss mo bang magtagalog?
Kuya pag may kumausap sayo
galingan mong mag-ingles, galingan mo kuyaNasan ka man ngayon, ano mang oras na
ika’y may kailangan, tawag ka lang sa amin
at parang nandito ka na rinDear kuya, hinahanap ka ni mama at daddy
sulat ka palagi.
Miss ka namin, pati nga kapitbahay nagtatanong
san ka raw nagpunta? san ka raw nagpunta?
Nasan ka na…
Kuyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
This song I dedicate to all my OFW friends and to all Filipinos abroad. My favorite lines:
Dito mainit pero kung bumagyo,
Para bang lahat ng tubig sa mundo ay nandito
and especially:
Kuya pag may kumausap sayo
galingan mong mag-ingles, galingan mo kuya
they just simply make me smile.
For those who have not yet heard of the song, check it out from this link: Dear Kuya – By Sugarfree.
PNP Found Use of Youtube
In an effort to inform the public on how members of syndicates, street criminals and just plain hustlers ply their trade and how not to become victims of crimes, the Philippine National Police has found a good use of youtube.
These are really informative videos. I just wish, though, that these videos find their way broadcasted in mainstream media or more specifically major TV stations, as the latter will find more audience that will most likely fall victims to crimes demonstrated in the videos.
The videos were hosted by P/Supt. Gilbert Cruz and production done in Tagalog or Filipino. Here are some of them:

300, Hiligaynon Version
This video has really got me laughing out loud. You need to be an Ilonggo, though, to understand the context and the video.
From the movie, “300”, Hiligaynon Version, entitled Benjo Kag Ang Batalyon Pitbull:

The Next Big Thing
According to this youtube video, Iloilo is going to be the next big thing. You next convention destination.
Indeed, Iloilo has so many things in life to offer. Especially now, with so many developments since I left her in 2001. Much more with the advent of the New Iloilo International Airport.

Sarbane’s Oxley Film Trailer
What happens when you mix a little corporate misconduct with a lot of misconduct of your own? …Mistresses, Mergers & Mayhem! According to IMDb:
Sarbane’s Oxley is set against the backdrop of today’s top business headlines and highlights the lives affected by the acquisition of a Wall Street technology startup. Robert, a young attorney new to the Wall Street scene, must grapple with his inner conscious and the invisible forces of corruption surrounding him while dealing with the equally challenging and deceptive forces taking hold in his sordid love life

Stay Music Video
Edwin dropped a comment to our unfinished video uploaded in youtube:
hehehe nakakamiss!
Indeed, we will never forget those days. Those were the moments to remember and cherish…
Malvar, as a reply to the question when will we finish the video, commented that the video will remain “…to be continued…” and incomplete as no one dared to STAY.
Check out the video I posted in youtube more than a year ago (I have not blogged about this before, thus it’s high time to post it here now!):

Listening to NU-107 at E-RadioPortal.com
In as much as I would like to join the Kill Bill’s Browser bandwagon, there are just certain sites that doesn’t support the fantastic firefox.
Just like this one, being outside the country I have been longing to listen to Philippine radio stations, especially my favorite NU 107. I have long visited e-radioportal.com only to find out the links appear to be broken or defective. Until just today, when I tried accessing it through Bill Gate’s browser, the Internet Explorer, and everything seems fine.
The site uses Windows Media Player to stream the audio from these stations, and it’s only compatible with internet explorer (IE). The thing is the web developer of the site couldn’t even make the site compatible for most web developers’ favorite browser, the mozilla firefox? O c’mon, you can do better than that!
Qwerty by Paolo Dy
A short film by a Filipino director from Cebu which became his entry in On the Lot, a reality show for aspiring Hollywood directors co-produced by Steven Spielberg.
Well, the film and the director, Paolo Dy, didn’t make it to the top 50. It was too late for us to support the film and vote for it in the On the Lot website. Nevertheless, I recommend that you watch the film and witness the brilliance by Filipinos behind the film. A proof at how a Pinoy can be great in filmmaking stage.
Here’s the youtube video:

I actually found the video in the On the Lot faster to load, just in case you want to try: Link here.
The film was also featured in ABS-CBN’s show, Bandila:
