Jose Mari Chan's "Beautiful Girl" And Its Mandarin Cover

I guess you can't lose the fact of being Chinese by blood, right? Or not? Regardless, Jose Mari Chan is Filipino by heart so the hit should still be classified as Filipino music. I remembered falling in love with the song as a child. Then what's not so surprising is this... Aaron Kwok did a Mandarin cover though his voice isn't as good as Chan's IMHO. Jacky Cheung did a cover of Ariel Rivera's hit "Sana Kahit Minsan" (Even If Only Sometimes) in the movie Future Cops . So far, I haven't found an English translation yet. It would be nice to see Chan and Kwok meet each other. The same goes for Rivera and Cheung.

The Moment You Realize "Take Me To Your Heart" Is Based On A Sad Song Titled "Kiss Goodbye"

One of my favorite cover songs "Take Me to Your Heart" (which was done by Michael Learns to Rock) was based on Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye". What's not too surprising is that the lyrics of a proposal love song was taken from a sad love song. Shocked? For me, not really. Cover songs tend to change moods a lot. Cheung covered Ariel Rivera's hit song "Sana Kahit Minsan" (Hopefully At Least Once) which leads me to wonder how many more Chinese songs have Filipino covers too? Now, for the translation of the lyrics of Cheung's song "Kiss Goodbye"  show it's a REALLY sad song: Our past stories have become clouds and smoke Dispersed right before our eyes Even as we've said "goodbye" to each other I don't see you feeling sad at all All that you've given to me You didn't mean from your heart But the more innocent your smile is The crazier I'll be in love with you I'd come to an understandi...

The Japanese Song "Rouge" Or "Lipstick" And Some Of Its Covers

It's really something when a tune gets popular and it gets a cover, right? "Rouge" by Miyuki Nakajima is the original song that got a cover by Faye Wong. Hong Kong's Cantopop industry did covers of Japanese, Filipino, and American songs. The song "Rouge" was covered by Wong under the name "Broken Hearted Woman" in Mandarin and Cantonese. I kind of prefer Wong's Mandarin cover. Wong also sang the English cover "Please Don't Go Away" while Jessica Jay had an English cover "Broken Hearted Woman". Cally Kwong also sang the Mandarin version. Here's a translation   of the Japanese song "Rouge": Now I am very socialized Even when I face a drunken man Now I am very socialized Every time applying lipstick I know I'll become more and more communicative In those days because of pursuing him I followed him till this place I only had a light cherry blossom colored lipstick with me Because of pursuing th...

Satirical News: DOH Confirms The Birth Of PAB-COVID-19 From Jover Laurio's Body

Jover Laurio was released from the Patrick Star Hospital yesterday. She was still able to blog from the hospital as she had a laptop available to her. She was last seen visited by Vice President Leni Loud Robredo. It turned that the COVID-19's ability to mutate into new strains had mutated into another strain.

Well, Those Fake Ads Became Real, Right?

I remembered writing my rage on annoying and MISLEADING mobile ads . Those ads were meant to be infuriating and I really HATE watching them. Then I just got lucky that some new ads showed up that gave us the GAME that we wanted. Yup, games LIKE THE ADS. So how are they? There's the game called Save the Girl by Lion Studios. I remembered downloading this game and I admit - it's been VERY entertaining. It's a game that was shown to advertise Townscape, Gardenscape, Klondike, etc. - games I UNINSTALLED as a form of protest. I remembered the amount of crazy entertainment this game had. Consider you got through if you made the right choice. Making the wrong choice got you a hilarious consequence. Either way, it's been a dirty finger to those ad makers who kept making those infuriating ads.  Hero Rescue finally gets a puzzle version. Yup, after that rather annoying pull-the-pin ads that NEVER gave you that kind of game. Super Game Studios created the puzzle vers...

Satirical News: New Data Shows That Trillanes And Aquino Both Ate Bat Soup In Wuhan, China Late 2019

A recent ongoing investigation in Wuhan, China has uncovered new secrets. It was revealed by colleagues of the late Dr. Li Wenliang that both Antonio Trillanes IV and Nobita Aquino were indeed at Wuhan last December 2019. Both of them went to Wuhan for a short one week vacation. What was soon confirmed was that both of them also tasted bat soup in Wuhan as part of their tour. Videos of them eating bat soup were taken before they went home to the Philippines. What was confirmed later was that Nobita did land in the Makati Medical Hospital due to breathing difficulty. Symptoms Nobita suffered were fever, cold, and cough and as closely monitored. However, he was dismissed from the hospital's ICU. It was said he simply got into the ICU for "security reasons". It turns out that he was the first Filipino to catch COVID-19. A week later, Trillanes was also admitted to the Makati Medical Hospital's ICU and was checked into the same room previously occupied by Nobita. Tril...
