The DJ who's not a DeeJay

Pinoys are bursting with music talent.  It's hard to find singers that standout when just about everybody has their own unique talent.   But one thing that really stands out are foreigners who take their talent and try it out on a Filipino song.  You gotta give them credit for their effort. That alone is impressive enough.   What more if they sing it as if it were a Filipino singing ?

That's why it was a very wonderful delight for me to discover this rendition of "Dahil Sa Yo" by Ernie Halter on youtube. He adds a jazzy touch to this traditional Filipino classic.

I'm currently on vacation with my family in Cebu and Bohol.  I'll be back in Manila and online in a couple of days to update my blog.  In the meantime, you can check out my video blog Version Mine, which is updated daily.  Now for a little fun in the sun. :)

Greenwich has been constantly inventing new pizza combinations giving the public more choices based on their personal pizza palettes.

Recently, I got the chance to sample two of the newest pizzas from the "Greenwich Overload" series, namely  the 5-star Bacon Burger Melt Overload, and the Angus Maximus Overload.

The 5-star Bacon Burger Melt Overload is overloaded with premium crispy bacon strips, beef burger, 100% mozzarella cheese and cheese drizzle.  If you didn't tell me these were pizza toppings, I would think these were ingredients for a tossed salad.  Saying all that in one breath alone is enough to be overwhelmed by the toppings they put together.  I love the taste of this pizza.  The balance of 2 meaty toppings complementing the 2 kinds of cheese provides a delectable taste in every slice.  Add the overload of everything and every bite will have every topping on it.   The 5-star pizza name is very justifiable.

The next pizza I tasted was their Angus Maximus Overload.  When I heard the name alone, I was excited to sample this unique pizza.   The first thing that came into mind was "isn't angus beef expensive meat ?".  Add the word "maximus" to that led me thinking I'm in for a real treat with an encounter of the angus kind.   The Angus Maximus Overload is a pizza overloaded with Prime U.S. Angus beef and 100% mozzarella cheese.  Never would I have imagined tasting angus beef on a pizza.   And Greenwich does this to drive the meatlovers crazy by placing it as topping to a pizza.  I tell you that this massive pizza is going to make you full right away, which is a good thing altogether.    At some point, you'd want to pick out a thick chunk of angus and savor its taste before going back to get a bite of angus on the pizza just to compare (but really to get a-chompin' away).   Angus Maximus definitely reveals the "meatlover" in you at first bite.

If you've been following the Greenwich Overload series, you'll be happy to discover that accompanying this new release is another John Lloyd commercial where he wins a best actor award.  Like his "levelling up" each time, Greenwich outperforms itself with newer pizza combinations each time.  

I'd say that the award for best Pizza Series, goes to... the Greenwich Overload Series.  Congratulations !

I'm a big fan of hiphop and Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre's "Next Episode" is like an anthem for me (not really the lyrical meaning of the song... if you're familiar with the message).   I gotta hand it to these four tenors known as 4Tissimo that they totally turned this song around and made an opera version.   This is a sneak preview of their hiphopera talent which is included their album "Tenors With Attitude".
And here's a hilarious opera version of  2 Live Crew's "Me So Horny".  This song simply cracked me up.  I couldn't take this song seriously cause I couldn't imagine an opera version of this horny song.

I loved playing those classic ol' school 8-bit video games.  When video games were at its infancy, those simple but addictive games like Pac-man, Donkey Kong and Frogger were all cool and fun to play with.  Check out this video and see if you could remember the game.
