The Influence of Michael Jackson
Yesterday, I received a text message from a friend informing me about Michael Jackson’s death. I originally thought it was a hoax not until I went online and read the post from Showbiz Gossips that indeed, the King of Pop passed away. It’s no gossip. It’s a fact that really made the whole world sad.
With a father working as a disc jockey and a mom who is a graceful dancer, I grew up listening to the songs of Madonna, Janet and of course, Michael Jackson. Please let me share to you how Michael Jackson’s songs inspired and influenced me as a kid.

Belo Bloggers Barkada Videoke Night @ Centerstage
Everyone had a stressful workload last week. It is pretty obvious in the plurks of many plurkers that beating a boss or client’s deadline or the submission of projects in school can kill anybody’s social life.
Last Tuesday night (October 21, 2008), Doc Hayden invited a number of bloggers and Multiply friends for a simple get together in Centerstage Family KTV & Resto Bar at Jupiter, Makati. It was the second time of the Marketing team to go there (first time entry via pataygutom) and we fell in love the place! They have an updated list of songs, good ambiance and delicious food. Centerstage is partly owned by Kapuso star Karylle and the current male Beloshape endorser Dingdong Dantes.
Persian/Filipina Sepideh Vaziri in Idol 2008 (Swedish Version)
Before I left Dagupan to work here in Manila, I met up with my college friend Dana for a small chat over coffee. We were talking about her bestfriend named Sep, who is based in Sweden. She told me that she’s kinda disappointed with her friend’s decision to postpone her trip here in the Philippines because she luckily got in the first round of auditions in Swedish Idol. I can say that Dana loves her friend so much and they constantly keep in touch through emails, chats and expensive phone calls hehe 
I remember her stories years ago about their trip to Hundred Islands. They even have plans of visiting the Belo Medical Group to avail some of it’s services.
Just last week, I read Dana’s post at Multiply that Sep, popularly known now in Sweden as SEPIDEH VAZIRI got in the Top 16 of Idol 2008.
Just this morning, Dana sent me a text message telling me that Sep is finally one of the Top 11 finalists!
