Alive – Never The Strangers

*COMMENTS CLOSED. PLEASE COMMENT ON POST BELOW *

Hey guys! Just want to feature a rising Pinoy band that is composed of my fellow Atenean batchmates! Their music is actually quite different from the local Pinoy artists and it has a really good alternative so I’d suggest this to fellow 80s or 90s fans Check it out!

From their YouTube page:

Never the Strangers, after all, as the band members explained their name, comes from their love for music, how it is a common thread that brings people—even strangers—together. This unabashed idealism shows the age of its members, who are all still in college at Ateneo de Manila University.

Meet NEVER THE STRANGERS ACE Libre—lead vocals and keyboards, PJ LaViña—drums and percussion, FRANCIS Victa—bassist and JP del Mundo—guitars.

Never the Strangers is a band formerly known as Leonecast—the band Ace and JP carried over from high school to college. When they realized that they are already a different band from when they had started—half of the members are new, even the band’s sound has evolved—they decided to change the name to Never the Strangers.

When asked how they define their music, each member throws in: “New Wave synth rock,” also “keyboard-driven rock,” but they have songs that are guitar driven too—but they all agree that rock music is their main foundation, influenced by New Wave, alternative and synth.

It’s You and Kris and Archie and Sherlock :D

Follow my blog with bloglovin! haha

Something for me to share…

MY FIRST (AND MAYBE ONLY) ANGAS (angas my international friends is like COOL in Filipino terms. Bad-ass as you would say) PIC!
Haha my rifle team mate took a stolen shot of all the shooters and here’s my shot! I think it’s really cool don’t ya? haha Never looked as fierce as this. haha!

Well this post would most likely contain NEWS NEWS AND MORE NEWS! I was in a reading-and-hopping-my favorites-spree the past 3 days and here are just some of the highlights…

AMERICAN IDOL WINNER IS KRIS ALLEN! I know I’m so late on this one but I just watched the full results show just last night! All I can say is that to make up for the WORST final 2 performance I have seen is the BEST AMERICAN IDOL FINALE SHOW (take note show, i don’t mean the winner) in my whole 6 years of watching! Gosh… How thrilling and wonderful were the performances? Adam’s duet with Kiss, Kris with Keith Urban, the BEP (Will.I.Am doesn’t have dredlocks no more!!) performance, the TOP 13 performances (they were all good!), Santana performance, Jason Mraz, David Cook, and especially the KRADAM DUET with QUEEN OMG!! *finally what I’ve been always looking for*

Okay for those not fans of AI can hear me stop gushing about it but those who are FANS CAN READ this ▼

Kris also gave the most awe-ness and funny acceptance look ever! hahaa He also gave one of the sweetest hugs I’ve ever seen to his wife (DARNNIT! WHY IS HE MARRIED AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE NA? he’s only 23…) and man… it was really touching. These winning moments always get to me no matter what contest it is. Gorsh.

I’m a bit torn with the results though. I’ve noticed Adam since auditions because he was so… DIFFERENT and he had a very big personality. You always knew that you were in for a fun and UNPREDICTABLE moment with him! Haha But around the top 8-ish, I suddenly grew this seed of pang and I started being pissed at his screams. I don’t know why. Or maybe he just has the same tone in screaming. Danny Gokey proved that he can scream too though except with less pizzaz! haha I even made his scream into my ringtone! Ang sama ko! *I’m so bad!* But anyways, I knew Adam had a LOT of talent.

But came around that time too when i came to notice Kris Allen because of his humility (i admit i think he lacks SPICE until now. Hope that something big will happen to him!) and his ORIGINALITY. Some people might disagree with me but I think he made every song his own. Every song now has a trademark K.A. on it and I absolutely love his mellow voice. He proved himself to be one of the bests when he did Ain’t No Sunshine and then became a winner with Heartless! Even though I dislike the song No Boundaries (the coronation song), Kris did a good rendition on it in his STUDIO SINGLE (sorry the live performance didn’t click with me). It’s now the NUMBER 1 SINGLE ON ITUNES!! Kris is actually dominating the chart already with Heartless and Ain’t No Sunshine on the list too.

So those who are bashing Kris as a winner, I’m sorry but he DESERVED THIS. Adam DESERVED THIS AS WELL. Heck I wanted to crown both of them as a single unit KRADAM and get on with life already but there must only be one winner. If they say that they won’t watch AI just because of this, then what can I do? There’ll be newer viewers, newer voters and honestly will the change be radical? No. And Kris won BECAUSE OF AMERICA. Don’t blame Idol on this. Dudes, Kris won because OF YOUR VOTES (whoever the you is) and no one else. So he does deserve to be there because of YOU. The magical word is YOU and no one else no one else… oops I’m singing now hahaa

Not even 24 hours after being crowned idol, his single “NO BOUNDARIES” is already the NUMBER ONE song in iTunes. Heartless is at 4th, and Ain’t No Sunshine is at 10. You don’t get a fluke when you’re talking about money and buying songs now. Kris AND Adam will make it big no matter what happens. Let’s wait for their CDs now okay? I’ll always love your music Kris! Be like Jason Mraz BUT please don’t grow a beard @_@

And I’ll sure get Adam’s songs especially if they’re like Mad World. Just please… NO SCREAMING!! haha

Howell here are more goodie pics for u! Here’s Adam giving him some brotherly love!! AWW!!

CUTE KRADAM = <3

Okay off to movie news!!

I’m afraid I’ll only post the trailer of Sherlock Holmes because if I were to go on with the other articles. I swear I’ll never stop so to control myself, I’ll be dishing out the HOTTEST news for me, and what could be any HOTTER than Robert Downey Jr??

Okay I’m really a BIIIGG BIIIGGG fan of RDJ! Ironman did it for me (actually noticed him at Zodiac and Gothika already) and I’m a true blue RDJ fan now. I even watched Tropic Thunder ( i initially thought that it would suck but RDJ made it fun for me. Gosh can you imagine him playing an Australian dude who’s playing a black dude?? LOLZ) and his past movies (Charlie Bartlett, Charlie Chaplin, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, etc) just to see what a great actor he is! I don’t know. His stage presence is SUPER BIG and his charisma is in the Nth level. I can’t reach it…

Well he’s now Sherlock Holmes and he may be giving us the most daring portrayal that maybe Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would rise up from his grave and watch it too. So I give you the… TRAILER FOR SH!!

It’s fun, it’s sizzling, it’s DIFFERENT! I love the casting of Jude Law as Watson and Rachel McAdams! There seems to be sufficient comedy and action in it (Sherlock Holmes is really a bad-ass guy!) and of course, the last scene NAILED IT. I’m definitely watching this in the theaters.

Whoever here has heard of Archie Comics? *shoots the person who hasn’t heard of it, haha KIDDING!* Well love him or hate him, he’s been the iconic teenage who has been balancing school (though he doesn’t show much effort), friends and 2 POTENTIAL STEADY GIRLFRIENDS FOR 68 years now. 68 loonngg years already so imagine the diversity of Archie’s fanbase. I’m not exactly a fan because I hate Archie sometimes because of his polygamy and I can’t see why Betty and Veronica would fall for him. Argh. That part I don’t like. But reading Archie and the gang’s double digest comics has been a comforter especially in the bathroom because… it’s leisure reading! lolz hahaa

Well now the writers and creator of Archie has decided that its time FOR HIM TO TIE THE KNOW!! BUT WITH WHOO?? I mean Archie is getting married! He’s GRADUATING Riverdale high! HE’S GONNA GET MARRIED???!! What the?? It’s really a momentous occasion for readers because the conflict MIGHT NOW BE RESOLVED. But Archie wouldn’t be that fun anymore right? And what new direction would the comics make? Continue Archie and his adventures up till he’s 30? So weird…. what do you guys think?

I hope that he chooses BETTY. Betty and Archie are really perfect for each other ’nuff said. I hope that something dramatic happens though… Would someone die? Would Betty/Veronica find another true love?? Can’t wait!

Now I end this note with something…. FUNNY!!

PLS GUESS WHAT I AM

Got this off one of my fave movie sites The MovieBlog and now you can see the RESOURCEFULNESS OF A PERSON. Isn’t it neat??

Updates when I update!

Questions:
1. Are you excited for Sherlock Holmes movie?
2. Do you read Archie comics? Who do you want him to marry?
3. Haha do you think the person was resourceful? Did you get the picture?
