POKERSTARS VIDS

I first saw these TV ads by Pokerstars while watching reruns of the Filipino Poker Tour. The ads are sooo amazing, I had to share it with fellow Triplejack addicts.

This one is my favorite. It's called SAMURAI featuring Isabelle Mercier. I'd like to dedicate this one to friends from Clan GRDO specifically to the head honcho bossing and other clan pioneers shaun, nakedEYE, chakkie and wakas. (Bagay na himuon ug GRDO Godess si Isabelle "No Mercy" Mercier kay hangol kaayo siya! Hahaha!)




Here's another video called HOCKEY featuring my favorite Daniel Negreanu. This one's lovingly dedicated to all TJ clowns who are too hangol for their own good. Mwahahahaha!

enjoy!

don't hate me

"don't hate me because i'm beautiful...

hate me because i dug up your misplaced dink, passed a perfect ball to my multi-talented setter, jumped my usual 39 inches and swung so sweetly that for one split second... even you became a fan.

hate me because i'm good."

best college pranks

here are a set of five videos (in no particular order) documenting the best college pranks in youtube, as collected by Thomas Bartlett in his article College Prank as Viral Video.

i recommend that you see all of them and be ready to laugh your heads off! and as i'm sure you'll be mighty thankful for this post, i'll demand that in return, you must post your comments and tell me which is your favorite!

...oh by the way, let this be my challenge to all current members of the UP Volleyball Club:

ynseng achieves new balance

i got new rubber shoes! my New Balance 708 was bought on sale – 50% off!!! hubby wanted to buy himself a pair and then decided to also buy me one as a birthday gift! it’s actually a women's running, all-terrain shoes but it looked good enough for both of us to use indoors – for volleyball and table tennis.

(i would’ve loved to buy new mizuno volleyball/indoor court shoes but they were much more expensive and not all that pretty. in fact i don't think i ever found a pair of mizuno rubber shoes that i liked more for aesthetics than function.)

this is what the New Balance website has to say about the M/W708:

A supportive trail shoe, the M/W708 will debut in the All-Terrain segment of the trail running category for August 2006. The 708 features Abzorb® cushioning in the heel and forefoot for exceptional shock absorption and medial and lateral posts for stability. Motion Core, an outsole feature that improves traction on rough terrain combines with the AT Tread® Outsole design to make the 708 appropriate for on- and off-road use. An N-Durance® Outsole ensures maximum durability and 3M® Reflective details provide an additional safety feature. MSRP = $75.00

my NB W708 will debut on sunday for UPVC’s vnight. and here's to hoping that i'll get back to improving my pingpong skills soon!

the new coke commercial

i'm trying to resist the urge to blog (finals week na kasi)
but this one is worth the indulgence...



pardon the bahasa ending. i couldn't find the pinoy version.

as you wish, danee

i'm glad you asked. i wouldn't have thought about it otherwise.



click here. to see my previos post about this song (with lyrics) or read about it at the tyra banks show.

just for today

i do love the ellen degeneres show but this post is not about her. it's about the theme song from the tyra banks show, just for today by Grammy Award-Winning Singer/Songwriter and U.S. Ambassador for UNICEF india.arie.

nevermind the empowering lyrics. it's the first lady of acoustic soul, inspiring by "using the power of words and music to bring words music and right human relations." AskMen.com describes her as:

Natural talent. Natural woman. Natural charm. Arie is just what we need in music today. Someone sincere and real, without pretense or shady agenda, other than to infuse our lives with some funk and soul. Who could ask for anything more? An artist like Arie reminds us that music is music and has nothing to do with physical appearance, material possessions or anything else associated with the world of floss and bling bling.

unfortunately, i can only hear the song when i watch the tyrashow. so if there's anyone out there who can point me to a site that will allow me to listen to this song for free, pls do let me know. or better yet, why not send me an mp3 if you have it?! lyrics from lyricsbox.com

Just for today, I will not worry what tomorrow may bring, no.
I'm going to try something new
Walk through this day like I got nothing to prove yeah yeah.

Although, I have the best intentions
Can't predict anyone's reactions
So I just do my best.
I put one foot in front of the other
And keep on moving forward
And let God do the rest.

I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.
I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.

I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.
I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.

Just for today I'm telling the truth like it's going outta style
I'm going to swallow my pride, and be who I am
And I don't care who don't like it.
I feel fear but I do it anyway
I won't let it stand in the way, I know what I must do.
There's no guarantee that it'll be easy,
But I know it'll be fulling and it's time for me to sure improve.

Its ok not to know
Exploration is how we grow
Its ok to not have the answer
Cos sometimes its the question that matters

I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.
I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.

I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.
I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.

Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz

i bought the Gorillaz album as soon as i heard Clint Eastwood. i memorized the lyrics and i even remember bits of it when i hear the song. i’ve always wondered why this title. but i never wondered what the lyrics meant. i didn’t bother.

gorillaz.unofficial.com explains:

The lyrics address in part the eclectic mix Gorillaz offers, how they can move you and shake up the world despite not being real 'all in your head' (an added dimension to this is that Del [Tha Funkee Homosapien] is rapping in the persona of a ghost in Russel's head, so he is 'not quite real' even with respect to the cartoon Gorillaz world. It's also swaggeringly self-aggrandising. And with beats like this, and a plaintive harmonica that sounds just right, who could argue. The title was chosen because the track sounded a bit like parts of the scores to Clint Eastwood's 'Dollars' films, according to Tom Girling and Jason Cox (titles were added and discarded in a free flowing manner during the process of making the album as songs evolved into each other, and collections of ideas were brought together), however Damon [Albarn] has also stated in an interview that it was also a nod to an old reggae star who went by the name of Clint Eastwood (reggae star Lee 'Scratch' Perry and The Upsetters also recorded an album of this name).

hmm… this should be fun…
