Taylor Swift's Career is Rolling Up with this March Issue of Rolling Stone

Baby Taylor "just said yes" to be the cover girl for the March issue of Rolling Stone!

After the break up with Joe Jonas, Taylor Swift's career went on spinning to the top only to prove that being a heartbroken doesn't make you a loser.

The article described her as, “The world’s biggest new pop star is a little bit country, a little bit rock & roll, and all control freak.”

Break up usually makes a lot of people freak out of control but not Taylor! She was able to survive and even composed greater songs! "It's a love story, baby just say yes.."

Taylor blogged about how she feels about her rolling career in Rolling Stone being the magazine's covergirl. She shared, “I’m so excited, I can’t even stand it. It’s on news stands now, and I haven’t seen it yet because I’m in London, but I just can’t believe I get to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. Wow. This is crazy.”

This is great Taylor! Keep the great songs coming and thanks for the inspiration to all the single ladies!

Discover the Breath-taking Beauty of Bangued, Abra Philippines

A couple of months ago, me and my mom went to her hometown. Going there wasn’t a first time for me but boarding on an airplane was! Though the travel was extremely exhausting, the view of her hometown was worth all the tiredness. Even the view above the plane made me even more grateful to our Heavenly Father for making things so beautiful for all of us to enjoy.

From Bangued Abra, we crossed a make-shift bridge and enjoyed the river’s beauty. I remember how she always fondly related to me how they, as little kids, spent most of their lives crossing this bridge. And when it overflows, she would be able to escape her classes..lol.

Though we may only had a couple of days to enjoy the natural beauty of the place, I was able to taste many sumptuous and nutritious food that can only be cooked well by an Ilocano. We ate Pinakbet, Diningding, Dinaldalem and many other “naimbag’’ nice-tasting foods.The time we spent in Bangued, Abra may be too short yet it was really worth it. I was able to spend quality time with my aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and many other distant relatives. My time there was indeed far-spent and truly a walk to remember.

Here are just some of our vacation pictures. Click on each picture to enlarge and see the real beauty of Bangued, Abra. Tara na byahe tayo! Lakbayin ang Pilipinas! (C'mon let's travel and explore the beauty of Philippines!)

Top 10 Filifamous: List of Famous Filipinos Around the World

Filipinos have always made their marks wherever they go around the world, whichever field they would take. Whether they’d be half or full-blooded Filipinos, it doesn’t really matter—they would still have that courageous blood of Rizal in their veins and their achievements would make millions of Filipinos around the globe proud. So since many have already made their marks, I have compiled a list of famous Filipinos that deserve a Hall of Fame Award, Filipino version.


1.Lea Salonga
Who else deserves the highest spot in this list but the very talented and always humble singer-actress that won the hearts of many people all around the world with her compelling voice. She’s the voice behind Kim in Miss Saigon, Mulan, and many other famous musical films.


2.Charise Pempengco
Her fame as one of the most watched in Youtube and most Googled young Filipina singer, may be instantaneous but she sure does deserve the second to the highest spot. She is the girl that has the voice as powerful as that of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion, and fortunate enough to be able to sing together with the latter.

3.Manny Pacquiao—I would dare say that no one in this planet would not know the phenomenal and undefeated Pinoy boxer. His fights never fail to calm the rebels and unite all the Filipinos as well as other nationalities all over the world. When its Pacquiao's fight, its like the world would from revolving on its axis and everything would freeze.

4.Carlo Ocab
I’m a blogger and I would always be proud of this now 15-year-old Filipino blogger who topped and still holds the crown in the most competitive keyword in the internet marketing world, “make money online’’. He started blogging, or atleast being noticed at the age of 13. Wow! His skills only prove that in every work, age doesn’t really matter. And in every field, Filipinos could always excel.


5.Dave Batista, Jr.
Or simply Batista,wrestling fans would always associate his name with one of the best the world has ever have. He may be half-Filipino but he sure do have the skills that every Pinoy could always be proud of.

6.Jasmine Trias
She might have not made it to the top 3 but she has been one of the most influential Filipino-American Idol ever even to the extent that Hawaii even declared a day for her. Her votes could have made her the mayor of her town! She’s undeniably talented and sweet.


7.Vanessa Hudgens
The High School Musical sweetheart and rumored to have auditioned for the teen-thriller, Twilight, for the role of Leah. Needless to say she’s beautiful, talented and very charming.

8.Kiwi Camara—at the age of 19, he was the youngest and one of the brightest law graduate from Harvard. Not much was written about this amazing young man but he was able to prove Filipinos are very intellectual.

9.Nicole Scherzinger—lead singer of Pussy Cat Dolls. Very beautiful, astounding and talented. She deserves a place in the Filipinos Hall of Fame.

10.Arnel Pineda—The Journey,The Voice. Very amazing indeed. After many years of searching for their lead singer, the group has found their man in Arnel. His voice is like no other.

Did your favorite artist made it to the top 10?



Rihanna and Chris Brown Together Again

The news of Chris Brown hitting girlfriend, Rihanna has created divided opinions.

Most people condemned Chris for hitting Rihanna while others hate Rihanna because of the rumor that they fought because she has herpes and that this she got from Jay-Z, Beyonce’s boyfriend. The rumors had no clear explanation from both side with all people guessing which is true.

And now, they’re together again???

Is this just to save their careers?

So that they could do the planned projects for them? Or were they deeply in-loved with each other that they both can’t take it being separated from each other for so long?

Vanessa Hudgens Auditioned for the Role of Leah Clearwater in Twilight?


How true are the rumors that the Disney teen star, Vanessa Hudgens, has plans or even already auditioned for the role of Leah Clearwater in the movie Twilight?


Her reps and the scriptwriter of the said movie have both denied it but she has expressed her interest in the role when once interviewed saying that her little sister has read all the books and like it.

In some photos taken of her, she took it coolly and lightly by wearing a “Not Me” t-shirt. So probably it’s not really her. Whether it be Vanessa or whoever, let’s just all hope that the film would truly depict how great the book is. 

Vanessa for Leah or not?
