We Got The World

I’m at that stage where I follow an artist that got a big hit for their next big one. And Icona Pop’s We Got The World song is on my radar.  They remind me of T.A.T.U., the girl duo. Right? Listen.

Good Fashion Read

I bought this book for only 30 pesos from National Bookstore's book sale! I immediately picked this up because I thought the name was utterly familiar. Though not sure where I heard that name, but I certainly know that it has something to do with fashion.

Right, I tried to recall Nina Garcia mentioning her name from a back episode of Project Runway. Happy for this find!

Make me dream Catherine Malandrino.

A Is Near

They don't call the shots anymore. That is according to Mona Vanderwaal as she responds to Toby Cavanaugh. Looks like the real "A" is in the pilot seat now and I can feel that A's real identity will soon be unveiled before us. I have an inkling that Officer Wilden has a big connection with A's death. Make that a strong connection.

But the most perplexing question is, Is Allison DiLaurentis really dead? Or she's just covering with this whole disappearing act to get back to all those who wronged her and to also continue her queen bee reign over Rosewood High more so to the 4 pretty little girls. What will happen to Ezra and Aria? To Hanna and Emily? And to Spencer's desparity to find out who the real A is.

Questions are hanging amidst our heads but we will just have to wait until the next tormenting act of A and it's minions.

Just Breathe

This song was released more than a decade ago but still is kicking arse. Truly, a timeless song. Classy, euphoric vibe, I must describe it as. Breathe sends me into this different kind of high every time I listen to it. More of like, a state of a lucid dream  It never fails to calm my nerves. Chris Long at the BBC described it as, "a deliciously silky track that lolls by a holiday pool and enjoys the sunshine." Couldn't agree more. Enjoy the track everyone!

C’mon Ke$ha!

Check this second single from Ke$ha’s Warrior album plus this awesome lyric video! Is it me or what but I can hear Your Love is a Drug song in the rap part. :)

Xtina’s Body

Lotus is set to be available in stores comes November 13.

Isn’t she gorgeous in her latest album cover? Comfortable with her body.

Foster My Mind

With this kind of gloomy weather and this euphoric song from Foster The People, I Would Do Anything For You who will not feel high and drugged. Seriously, this song sends me in pure euphoria bordering to like being high on drugs. Haha. But I love Foster The People do not get wrong. Their songs are my kind of thing. Feel good music without being too mainstream is Foster The People.

Love Xtina!!!

Love Love Love Xtina!!!!

Ke$ha, The Warrior Princess

The Tik Tok singer has a new track released called Die Young. Her yet to be released latest album, Warrior should have been launched at the latter end of 2011 but Kesha insisted on its release. The reason is that she wanted to reinvent pop music into the rock direction. I certainly applaud her for this move and got me thinking that she is not just a puppet controlled by music’s bigwigs. Kesha thinks of what is next for her and for the future of music. Her album is slated for release comes December 2012. A perfect present for Christmas! Isn’t it?

Actually, I was really puzzled about her absence in the mainstream. But later I found out about this plan of hers. This album has got us waiting and craving for some Kesha music. It must have been cooked in just right for our hearing buds.

I Am In Glee For GLEE Again

The previous season of Glee was kind of having a dull moment and I am not getting into every episode. But this season has a fresh start with new cast and I am excited to what will happen to Rachel and Kurt. I am definitely looking forward to see a new love interest for Rachel Berry and a very hot one! Dean Geyer is determined to win Rachel’s heart.

I think this season is a big one and a big gamble. A big one since Kate Hudson’s multiple guest appearance to mentor Rachel and the sexy Sarah Jessica Parker will get her hands on Kurt Hummel as a Vogue.com editor. Wow! Talking about power cast. Also, it is a big gamble for the addition of new casts that will test the waters of the glee audience.

The Queen is Back

The golden voiced Christina Aguilera has just dropped a brand new single called "Your Body" that is filled with vocal gymnastics, an Aguilera signature. This is the lead single from her up and coming 7th studio album entitled Lotus. Her album is set to be released on November 13.

The queen is definitely going full on with this one since her Bionic album which did not do so well commercially. I am guessing this one will be a redemption and got to be bigger. Her judging stint on the hit reality TV singing competition, The Voice has helped her build and spark her career taming career. With no one in competition with her powerful voice and matching talent, Xtina as what we her fans call her is set to dominate the charts and air waves yet again. Xtina will not disappoint this time! The queen is effing back.

I Got My Dose of Project Runway

After Anya Ayoung’s victory for season 9, I was bummed because I needed to wait for another season. Another season, meaning months of waiting! But I heard Project Runway will have a spin-off. So, Project Runway All Stars came about. While watching teasers for the newest season, I saw some promising designers that I was rooting for, for the previous season like Mondo Guerra and Mila Hermanovsky. I was hoping for Maya Luz to be part of the season since her decision to drop out of the competition during her season. But maybe she will grace the next season of All Stars.

A big dismay for me was Tim Gunn’s exclusion to the latest season! Joanna Coles meanwhile filled in for Gunn’s shoes as the mentor to the All Stars. I just miss Tim Gunn’s presence on the show but Joanna also did an amazing job in guiding the designers do their A game. I was thrilled to see the gorgeous Georgina Chapman, the co-founder of Marchesa. Isaac Mizrahi was a host in Bravo TV’s The Fashion Show and I was a bit  intrigued to see him on the show as a juror. Moreover, the hosting stint was taken over by the equally beautiful supermodel, Angela Lindvall. In the end, I get it that all the judges and the mentor started with a clean slate since this is not just a new season but an All Stars season.

At large, the season really took a notch higher via tough and grueling challenges. One of which is a Project Runway first, the 6-hour challenge given by THE Diane Von Fursternburg, CFDA President and the queen of RTW. A half a million dollars worth of prizes awaits the winning designer. I was on Mondo’s team since the first day and gladly he became the victor of the very first season of Project Runway All Stars. I can’t wait for the next season!

Pretty Dirty Secrets, the Pretty Little Liars Web Series

Just when you thought that Pretty Little Liars will be radio silent for a while until the Halloween event. They have come up with "Pretty Dirty Secrets”, this is a web series that will transpire immediately after the Summer Finale. Amazing isn’t it?

According to ABC Family, "Starting on Tuesday, August 28, we are launching a brand new Pretty Little Liars web series. Right after the summer finale, be sure to check back here for your first look at Pretty Dirty Secrets! Then every Tuesday until the Halloween episode, there will be a new webisode full of tricks, treats -- and quite a few pretty, little clues that you don’t want to miss!"

So sweet of them, I guess we won’t be drooling much until the Halloween episode. New faces will also be introduced during the web series. Including Shana, the Halloween store clerk who will be seen on Season 3B. You’ll be seeing Rosewood’s familiar faces as well starring Brant Daugherty (Noel), Yani Gellman (Garrett), Aerial Miranda (Shana), Vanessa Ray (CeCe), Brendan Robinson (Lucas) and Drew Van Acker (Jason).

Thank you ABC!
