Sensational rock group Stone Temple Pilots has a new single!





You heard it right. The rock legends are back!
After six years of waiting, fans of alternative rock band Stone Temple Pilots (STP) are now excited to know that they will be entertained by them once more. STP recently released their new music video Between the Lines on YouTube. It is their first single from their new album that is set to release on May 25th.

So what do we expect from the band that has come back after six years? Do we expect the old sound that we loved? Or a new sound that fits this pop-rock age? Whatever it is, we are sure that this band will not disappoint us. Their music will be a lot more powerful and their lyrics more genuine and emotional. They will rock the house!

For those who haven't seen the music video of Between the Lines, here it is.

Dolores Claiborne (book review)




Dolores Claiborne is the second Stephen King novel I’ve read and enjoyed so much. (The first was Gerald’s Game which is connected to it.) It tells a story about a woman who conquered unimaginable struggles for her loved ones.
For thirty years, people from Little Tall Island could only think that it was Dolores Claiborne who killed her husband Joe St. George, on the day of the total eclipse. She indeed killed him to save her children from their abusive father but got away from the murder charge. Now she is facing the interrogation of the police for it is believed that she killed her wealthy ill employer, Vera Donovan. During her interrogation – she tells about her experiences as Vera’s housekeeper, miserable family life and deep hatred for her husband, confessions about how Joe and Vera died and the nightmares which haunted her. She told the police everything they got to know hoping that she will be freed from the murder charge...
This novel is horrific and poignant. You will never forget Dolores’ struggles.

First-time voter

I’m proud to say that it's my first time to vote for the national elections. Like everyone else, I waited for a while in the line just to cast my vote. When I entered my ballot in the PCOS machine, I was relieved that the machine read it. I just hope that my preferred candidates will win the elections. If not, the ones elected should do their job well.

Good day for those who voted wisely. :)

Jovit and Ruther -PGT's first batch of grand finalists

Last night Jovit Baldivino and Ruther Urquia made it to the next level. They were the ones chosen to be in the grand finals of Pilipinas Got Talent because they received the biggest votes from the audience and judges.

For those who missed their performances, here are their video clips.



Jovit Baldivino is sure to be grand winner of PGT

Talent shows on TV are the things I keep on looking forward to these past few months. The Pilipinas Got Talent is one of which has conquered the country because it has entertained Filipino homes for two months now. Last Saturday they held their semifinalists’ performance night at AFP Theater. Their performances in the theater were different from the audition as expected.
Snap Boiz amazed the crowd with their intense break-dance number. Rolando P. belted a classic ballad, Kahit Isang Saglit. The Baguio siblings showed their grace and flexibility in their sports dance number. Ruther Urquia entertained the young at heart as he played with his puppets. Everyone was fairly pleased with their performances until the last semi-finalist entered the stage. Jovit Baldivino emerged like a rockstar as he kept the crowd screaming loudly. He made them wilder with his powerful rendition of Carrie. At this point in time, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jovit will be the first grand winner of PGT because he has captured the audience with his magnificent performance. The standing ovation he got from the audience and judges proved that he is everyone’s favorite among the semi-finalists.
