Jay Park Live in Manila



I remember the time when I hang out with my Korean friends, I always ask them to tell me something about their place, culture or anything that connects with Korea. I love Korea, I love their food, I love Koreans especially my Korean friends. And then I realized that I only know a little about their music. I thought that maybe because I'm having a hard time to understand it or to memorize it but heck no! it's not an excuse not to listen to their music. I love music and I told my self why not try to know more about their music. 

Good thing, OrangeMagTV and MCA Music gave me an opportunity to cover the Jay Park Live in Manila Presscon in Eastwood Richmonde Hotel.


Jay Park promotes his latest and first full length album "New Breed" by having a 3day show in Manila (Eastwood, Venice Piazza, Lucky Chinatown Mall).

Someone from the media asked him if he will choose one between singing, dancing and modeling, what would it be. He laughed when he heard the word "modeling" because he knows that he does not fit into a modeling world and he immediately answered that it would be dancing. He was also asked that in all of his songs in his new album, what song he would dedicate to all the Filipino girls, he said that the song would be "Girlfriend" because he knows that there are lot of beautiful Filipinas and he thinks that it's a perfect song for us. I know a lot of his Filipina fans will be super "kilig" if they were at the presscon. :)


Meet and Greet at RedBox, Eastwood.


I really adore guys with tattoos and I'm glad Jay Park have a lots of tattoos :)

Here are some of the photos...

With the Host, Ms. Jinri Park. Thanks to Jinri because she introduced me to some of Jay Park's songs by playing it on RX93.1 :)

I had fun watching his shows and I admit I become an instant fan of Jay Park. I admire him because he sings and dance well and he stays humble and showed us how he love his fans. After I heard him singing, I must say that I like their music and I am looking forward to hear his future songs.

Thank you also to OrangeMagTv for the opportunity to meet Jay Park :)

NORAH JONES: Little Broken Hearts



PolyEast Records invite us last Monday to listen to Norah Jones' new album "Little Broken Hearts" (Blue Note/EMI) produced by Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton). The 12-track album features the gently rolling first single "Happy Pills."

I'm glad to be part of the advanced listening party because I am also a fan of Norah Jones. Her voice is so relaxing and what's good with her new album is that it is a lot different from her previous albums. The album is dark, moody and full of wounded emotions which makes not only me but a lot of people relate to all of her songs. 


I really love her album cover! Jones drew the inspiration for the album cover from the vintage movie posters that adorn Burton's Los Angeles studio. "Brian has this great collection of Russ Meyer posters in his studio," explains Jones, "and this particular one, called Mudhoney, was right over the couch where I sat every day. I  always was looking at it and thinking 'that's  so cool I want to look like her!' I remember staring at the poster the whole time we made the record. It's a great visual."

Little Broken Hearts Tracklist:
  1. Good Morning
  2. Say Goodbye
  3. Little Broken Hearts
  4. She's 22
  5. Take It Back
  6. After The Fall
  7. 4 Broken Hearts
  8. Travelin' On
  9. Out On The Road
  10. Happy Pills
  11. Miriam
  12. All A Dream

She's so beautiful and I really dig her new look! :)




Norah Jones' new album is now available in stores nationwide released by PolyEast Records.
