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?????!!!

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?

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.
