Subliminal message?

If this isn't calling out to me then i don't know what is. I subscribe to Cirque Du Soleil's event notifications and this morning got this in my email inbox. I've been to three other shows before (Quidam, Mystere, and O) and i have always enjoyed them more than any other under the big top-circus type of show. I've also seen several other shows either on PBS or on some other cable channel, but it doesn't compare to actually being there in person. The euphoric experience just can't be attained through a little 27 inch tube with mono sound. Now if i had a home theater system then maybe, but i am a long way from having that. Delirium seems to be a movie like performance that lasts 1:45 hours, and has a very short run at a few select theaters August 20th through August 24th. The other funny thing about it is August 24th is my birthday! Check out the website here: http://www.thehotticket.net/delirium/

If you haven't already... then you have got to get this!

You all may have already heard about the Filipino born singer, Arnel Pineda taking over the Lead Vocal reigns of Journey, but i didn't... I found out from some co-workers while at lunch today. So, when we got back to the office instead of working i jumped on the Internet and began searching for videos of this guy on YouTube. What i found was absolutely mind blowing! He not only has a great voice, but he sounds just like Steve Perry! And to be discovered by one of Journey's founding members, Neil Schon on YouTube of all places! Wow! How could i have missed this wave?! No, not wave... tsunami? I've always liked many of Journey's songs growing up and now with Arnel as the frontman, he not only has resurrected a band, re-energized millions of dedicated Journey fans, but has also raised up a whole new following, and inspired millions of Filipinos around the world. It's such a feel good... on-going story that i'll be closely following from now until the band decides to hang'em up for good. In the meantime... don't stop believing! Enjoy 'Revelation' only at Walmart!

Disappointed about Michelle but Asian women dominate

I was so glad to hear that Michelle was doing so well at the LPGA State Farm Classic golf tournament in Springfield, Ill., when later i heard that she was DQ'd for not signing her score card. Wow! DQ'd over such a small technicality (the rules are the rules) and that cost her big. It simply sucks! I went on to read that Ji Young Oh from South Korea had won it and my thought was 'that's cool'. Then, i continued to see the final leaderboard of the tournament and my jaw basically fell out of my skull. The top 5 finishers in the tournament were all Asian (three Koreans and two Chinese), seven of the top 10 were Asian, and on and on... eleven of the top 25 were Asian. Eight of the top 25 were Korean. I don't follow golf very closely, especially womens golf, but i must say i was pretty damm impressed! My curiosity lead me to the linked articles below. Check it out and enjoy!

Apple Sells One Million iPhone 3Gs, 10 Million App Downloads - Mobiledia
Should i buy or should i wait for an alternate phone to come out, a so-called iPhone killer? I've been a long time Cingular-AT&T Wireless customer so going to another provider now or whenever a true contender comes out could get messy. Uh yeah... i'm under contract until October of next year.

I'm Yours (Cover) by Chris Cendana

Here is a pretty mellow summer chill'n song made popular by Jason Mraz that caught my attention. I like following and hyping up the talents of my Asian brothers and sisters hence my reasons for posting this particular rendition. You can be sure that you'll get a full dose of them here in the coming months. For now, I've been checking out this Filipino cat's YouTube site every so often and he's quite the talent. Love all his covers and original songs. Check him out! Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/ccendana

Another version of the song is here by another very funny and talented Asian sister. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHW7isToPz8

Oh no! I'm doomed!

McDonalds must have received wind of the two new toy collecting obsessions that i have for my kids. Uh yeah! It goes beyond the Happy Meal i'm afraid. When i was a kid i collected baseball cards, Hot Wheels, GI Joe and Star Wars figures. I even had some old school Transformer toys. I never had the means to complete any of my collections. Most times it wasn't about having enough money to buy them it was because they would fall victim to the rigorous and extreme play of yours truly. As an adult i sometimes wonder what ever became of the toys i had when i was a kid. Part of me wishes that i still had my small collection so that i could either pass them to my kid for safe keeping or for his playtime adventures. I try to let my little guy play with the toys i collect for him, but i do make every attempt to keep track of them all so that he doesn't lose them , forget about them, or completely destroy them. And yes! I do try to complete sets for him sometimes getting two of everything. I get one for him to play with and one to keep unopened as in the case with the little die cast Disney Cars i collect. The Littlest Pet Shop is the one and only thing i started for my little girl but i'm sure there will be more as she gets older.

Chestnut bests Kobayashi again!

I love Kobayashi but i have to also give it up for another legend in the making who happens to be from my end of the world. Joey Chestnut is not only from Northern California but also a student at my alma mater, San Jose State University. Here's another useless fact for most of you... he won his first eating contest in Stockton where the wifey is from. I've never been to the Asparagus Festival in Stockton but i believe ever since Chestnut won the Fried Asparagus Spear Eating Contest in 2005 he's won it every year since then and holds the current record of 8.6 lbs in 10 minutes which he broke this past year! Yikes! For those of you have eaten asparagus before damm that urine must have stayed green and smelly for months!
