Be the Bird. Be the Bee.

I'm totally head-over-heels-over this group right now.



The Bird and the Bee is an indie/pop/alternative musical duo from Los Angeles, consisting of musicians Greg Kurstin ("bee") and Inara George ("bird").

Their hit album :

The big hit lead single:

Retrofied. Subtle. Style mavens. Class act.

Watch their performances live on Kimmel or Ellen and you'd be totally smitten by these muses.

They are spot on good. Inspiring. Engaging. A joy.

Finally, true artists comfortable in their element.

Q.. no words to describe their finesse.

In darkness we Party anyway

Well, all the hype of Earth Hour came and went.

We expected total darkness in the world. Expected.

A day of conscience. A day to allow earth to breathe a little. To allow Ghia rest her resources just for that precious 60 minutes.

Well, let's put it this way, no one gave a hoot.

And the only reason why I can still proudly claim that me and my fam did do our part in making Earth Hour a success is that NO ONE WAS BLARDY AT HOME ON A TYPICAL SATURDAY NIGHT during that time slot.

Who would leave the lights on then?

DUH?????!!!

Q

Magic Book of Tricks ....

.... allows me to be Everything. Anytime. Anywhere.

This couple of weeks had been totally crazy and I realised there's so much to do and time's running out.

So I began to realise how I missed those days where I could multi task and still hang wherever I want or the very least , still watch my fav. TV!

Yes, I am talking about having a lappie.

But I also realised that if I ever wanted another one, it had better be so so so small because I hate bulk. Period.

I can never understand why people are obsessed with size even when it comes to lappies.

I mean, if i ever wanted a big screen with a ton of functionaly (and happen to drive a Hummer to conveniently lug it all), , I'd tow a desk top computer every where then.

But what I want is it small. Danty. Petite. Convenient to run a marathon with (almost). And you get the idea.

Yes, so I want a Netbook.

Those super tiny ones. ^^)

Here's a bit of trivia I stumbbled upon on the net:

JK On The Run writes that Google will no longer accept ads that use the term "netbook." Psion asserts its trademark on the term, adopted by Intel and others to refer generically to the latest generation of cheap subnotebooks.

Psion let us know that Google has investigated the trademark claim and determined that “netbook” is indeed a protected trademark. Google does these investigations as they are impacted when they run ads on their network. The determination by Google that the term “netbook” is duly registered and protected has prompted them to inform their ad customers that the term can no longer be used in Google ads.

It's easy to assume that the term, already in wide currency by people who never even heard of the Psion Netbook, is already doomed to genericide. But unlike patent trolls and other IP scum, Prion did make a netbook called The Netbook and still sells parts for it. It put money (and manufacturing) where its mouth was.

You'll notice how all along, many netbook makers never called their netbook a netbook. Dell never calls the Mini 9 a netbook.

AMD calls them "mini-notebooks," and an exec there told me that it expects most analysts will do likewise.

Asus folks will refer to Eee PCs as netbooks, but only casually, in person: it even has a defined strategy of trying to make "Eee PC" a popular term for netbooks in general.

So every cent Intel spent marketing "netbooks" might soon have been spent marketing someone else's netbook... assuming Psion-Teklogic is ready to actually release an update ... to its 5 year old Netbook!~

Q ... phuking stooooopid !!!

Being Bobby Brown

Simon Cowell

says Bobby Brown tops his list of rudest stars.

The 'American Idol' judge loves discussing arrogant celebrities with his friends, adding he has a top 10 list of famous people he dislikes.

He explained: 'It's a great game, I always do this. Whenever we go out, I always say to people, whoever it is - drivers, stewardesses - I always ask, 'Who is the rudest person you've ever met?' We play it every time we go out to dinner and we've got a current top 10 and we always update every week.

Bobby Brown has literally been number one for six years.'

Q... Bad Boy Bobby Brown

Thank god Whitney left him.

FUNtastic?

My charming committee just spent an atomic bomb on a Wii gaming console.

It's the type of sport an arm chair potato absolutely digs.

And there I was pondering, where's the fun in that?

Q

Comeback Queen of the Night

Move over Britney, Whitney Houston is ready to take the title of comeback queen.

And David Foster, the legendary hit-maker for stars ranging from Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion to Madonna and Michael Jackson, is finally talking about his reunion with the superstar.

Foster collaborated with Houston on the blockbuster soundtrack single "I Will Always Love You." He knows fans are wondering if she's ready to resume her hugely successful career after years battling her personal demons.

Q: You and Whitney are finally together again. How is she doing?

David Foster: I was in the studio with her last week. She's in great shape and she looks good. We have this fantastic song that Diane Warren wrote and we went in and recorded it. It went really well. Her work ethic was exactly the way it was when we did the song for The Bodyguard. She worked incredibly hard for two nights and we came up with something really good.

Q: Whitney has been through some tough times. Do you think she has her life and career back on track?

DF: I think she's going to have a great album out within the year. Whitney is a girl that everybody would like to see come back and, in this case, it really would be a comeback. A lot of people say, 'Come back? I never left.' But Whitney did leave and she hasn't recorded in about 10 years, I believe. So this truly would be a comeback.

Songwriter Diane Warren had something to say about the the song she wrote for Houston.

Q: What's the song about, Diane?

Diane Warren: I don't usually write music with someone in mind. But I set out to write this song specifically for Whitney and it's called "I Didn't Know My Own Strength." It definitely touches on her life, but I think a lot of people will relate to it because they've gone through hard times too.

Q: How was her performance?

DW: I was praying that Whitney was going to be able to nail it and she exceeded my expectations. She sang the s*** out of that song. Seriously, it was amazing. I'll tell you something, Whitney is back. Let there be no doubt.

Q The Voice on Fire is Back.

Femme Bot fantasy

Japanese researchers have built a robot that will soon strut her stuff down a Tokyo catwalk.

It has slightly oversized eyes, a tiny nose and a shoulder length hair-do. It also boasts 42 motion motors programmed to move like a flesh-and-blood fashion model.

A "cybernetic human" HRP-4C, designed to look like an average Japanese woman, appears during its demonstration in Tsukuba, near Tokyo. The humanoid robot having a female face and black hair trimmed down to 43 kilograms (95 pounds) to make a debut at a fashion show later in the month.




Yes, she's waif, has a pretty face , a fierce strut ,never complains and certainly never late.

Q... yet another robot who fancies herself as a Fashion Model. Not bad...^^

Wannabe Whitney

She looks like her. God-damn looks like her!

And is even dating her own Mr. Brown and suffering , apparently, the same trashing-behind-closed-doors.

Now,

she wants to do what made Whitney the timeless superstar that she came to be.

Yes, Rihanna is to star in a remake of 'The Bodyguard'.

Or so says reports.

The 21-year-old pop star - whose boyfriend Chris Brown has been charged with felony assault and making criminal threats following his alleged assault on her - has reportedly been looking at various scripts in New York, including a remake of the hit 90s film which starred Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: 'Before the situation with Chris, Rihanna was getting a lot of scripts. She has been wanting to do movies for a while now.'

If the film goes ahead, Rihanna's character will be a 'young and sexy take' on the popstar previously played by Whitney.

The Barbados-born beauty will star alongside 'GI Joe' actor Channing Tatum who will play her on-screen love interest.
~MSN News

Rihanna, seriously, as much as I am a huge fan of your dance-hall R&B-pop brandished with your signature reggae-fied vocoder vocals, you real-life Ananova you, whether you looking like Whitney's long lost younger sister or not, does not give your any veto-right to go all out to seal that deal.

C'mon, a Bodyguard sequel minus the signature voice-on-fire of Miss Houston, just don't cut it.

Image can only go that far , Miss Barbados.

HARD Boiled Eggs

Kinder Eggs

When we were younger , the adults always tell us that those cute chocolate eggs are the best.

Perhaps, it was for many of us to eagerly munching away, getting high on the endorphin surge and topping it all with a surprise fun toy within. (although , perhaps , it's not that big a surprise since we already knew there was going to be something inside)

And then we grew up hearing love birds ranting how Chocolate is indeed (and in fact) better than sex.

Ah yes, memories of those eggs.

That said, lucky us, Easter Bunnys and their secret eggs, however pointless, are no longer the main stay for that one time of the year now.

Today, we grown adults can finally stare at the Playboy Bunnies off the computer screen (no more flipping the pages with grimmy fingers...) and play with these eggs intead.

Tenga Eggs

Your high just go higher.
Ah Yes, indeed, eggs are still much fun to play with.... ^^)

So after this, perhaps you may start to refute that chocolate is still NOT better than sex.

Q

Same Script Different Cast

Dear Mr. Brown...

Both women, successful, famous and rich beyond dreams. Yet one thing plagued them.


Whitney Houston has had a most illustrious music career with her slew of #1 hits (11, mind you), multiple awards won (a Guiness Book of record entry no less) and millions of records sold (almost 180 million albums, to be exact).

But when she married Bobby Brown, her personal and professional life took a dip.

She was a battered wife.

Look at Rihanna, today, the pop star whose career is upsurging with her own slew of hits and big selling records and whose image emulates Miss Houston , right down to the short cropped hair, the mega watt smile and androgyny and to a penchant of leather-and-fur wear, has her own domestic issues with another Mr. Brown, Chris Brown.

Both Mr. Browns are years younger then the 2 women, too.

The similarities are astounding.
And while the comparisions are flattering to Miss Barbados and rendering Miss Houston , relatable, it is also but a sad and embarassing parallel of seeing History repeat itself.

Rihanna, take a hard look yourself and think well.
It took Whitney 14 years to get out of the rut.

Q... it recalls Whitney's 2000 R&B hit song 'Same Script Different Cast' .

Put a Ring on It.

Durex

Talking about supermodels putting a ring on it ( if you're in the fashion/ modelling business, you'd know how big a deal it is to have Gisele and Adriana tying the knot; and almost at the same time no less), let's face it , celebrity marriages simply don't last.

The scrutiny of the hungry public, the temptation of constantly being surrounded by beautiful people and an ambitious schedule, just all speck of the Big D word.

I totally agree with Whitney Houston's #1 hit 'Where do Broken Hearts Go?'. When somebody loves you , won't they always love you? Yes, they Will Always Love You ; yet another #1 hit of former Mrs Brown. You see, 14 years of marriage with Bobby Brown still didn't work even with pills and stuff.

What I'm sayin is, love is not enough. The craving for each other is a result of Lust.

So the bigger question is,

'How Long Lusts Love?'

So , forget the diamond ring, the diamond will last forever but only good sexual chemistry keep a marriage lasting twice as long .Slip on this ring instead.

One more for the Club

Introducing the Mini One Clubman

I always loved to lay my hands on a Mini Clubman. ^^

Despite what the general perception of it being a total blaspheme to the old British motoring traditions (but look where it landed almost all of them carmakers), I do see the appeal of the new-fangled Clubman with its unique perspective to the winning formula that is the Mini. With more space, more doors and more tongues wagging (and probably more middle-finger pointing as well) .

But the standard Clubman is too expensive.

And needless to say , the turbo S-version is beyond the GDP of a small third world Nation.

So when I heard recently , that the entry level One version is about to be launched anytime now,

albeit , I 'm sure , an even larger legion of angry protesters, I see it as a possible route to Sensible Mini Clubman ownership.
