I don't get too watch SOP lately but since, according to their website, Bamboo is gonna be there so I made sure I tuned it. It was a double treat since KC is in ASAP. So after KC finished singing "Umbrella" went back to SOP. They were already doing the, if I'm not mistaking, constellation of stars part. And as usual, Jaya, Ogie, Janno and Regine were the finale but to my surprise Billy step up on the spotlight in his black, Armani-looking suit and started singing slower songs. And men he could sing, ang galing! He did duets with the foursome. Later they mention the music video world premiere of his song "Like That" directed by Louie Ignacio. I got excited cause you know Billy is an International talent and if this video goes out there it will be a nice exposure for the Phils but to my disappointment I didn't like it... Sheesh, sayang! The lighting was bad and Billy wore this all white number reminiscent of Justin Timberlake's Rock Your Body vid plus this awful colorful-hooded sweater. But I like the lying sexy ladies on stripe bed tingy. Oh well what do I know anyway. I'm still waiting for Bamboo. Hope they do "So Far Away" since I read that would be their next single.

Yeah you can blame me for this -- I'm overly concern. I just wanted to be there when you experience it. To be the first to congratulate you for every triumph or to be the there just when you needed someone to lean on. All I wanted is to be a good friend but I guess you didn't need one. And now both of us ended up hurt...

So I guess too much of something is bad enough, huh?

This weekend is going to be crucial for Jase and I. Noooh!!! We're not yet gonna get married you silly. But it's sort of life altering weekend for Jase in particular medyo maapektuhan lang naman ako ng outcome. So good luck beb!!! No doubt in my mind you're gonna make it BUT if anything does not happen according to plan I'm here for you. You're not a lesser person without it!

6. White House ceilings not high enough to hold the giant wooden spoon and fork.

5. Secret Service Staff won’t respond to “psssst, psssst”.

4. Secret Service Staff uncomfortable driving presidential car with Rosary hanging on the rear view mirror or the statue of Santo Nino on the dashboard.

3. No budget allocation to purchase karaoke machines for every White House room.

2. State Dinners do not allow “Take Home”.

AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON :

I'm not so sure if it is really David Letterman who wrote this but anyway it's a joke so don't get offended. Filipinos have a lot of endearing qualities but hey let's admit it some of our qualities are not so endearing...
