Youtube Pinoy Sensations.

I am always overwhelm of knowing and hearing Filipinos who made it big in different fields. I always believe that we are born talented. I actually build this site not just to inform people, but also to show how proud I am being a Filipino. We work hard to achieve our dreams and our families is our inspiration.

Aside from Charice Pempengco and Arnel Pineda,I want to share few other Filipinos who is making big at youtube. Now, 4 Filipino Americans are "famous" at Youtube. YES! they are proud to say that they are Pinoys and their parents are from the Philippines. These Pinay and Pinoys have thousands of subscribers and one of them has a video who has a total views of 4,000,000 and still counting.

I am one of their subscribers and a big fan of course.

HAPPY SLIP

Happy Slip is a youtube sensation who gain over 4,000,000 views around the world. Christine Gambito is a Filipino American actress who gain success with funny portrayal of her own family. All the characters are played by Christine, she played as her mom, dad, auntie and her adorable Lola. This video Mixed Nuts won an award from youtube and I think this is her most viewed video.



NDTITANLADY

Is another Pinay who also do funny things at youtube. She also shares what's on her mind in a way that you will not get offended but instead you will just laugh about it. She also plays multiple characters, she play as her mother and some other characters. This is my favorite NDTITANLADY video and one of her most viewed.



JR AQUINO and AJ RAFAEL

The other two Filipinos are Pinoys who has a talent in singing and performing. JR Aquino and AJ Rafael both have good voice that's why they're videos are one of the most viewed at youtube. JR for me is an RnB kinda singer while AJ is a singer songwriter by heart. The last time I check their videos, JR Aquino is having a recording of his first album and AJ Rafael announcing something about his contest for having a 100,000 subscribers.

This video is AJ Rafael's latest video and he wants this song to be on the BATMAN 3 soundtrack.



This is JR Aquinos most viewed video and showing how talented he is.



That's Pinoy talent at its best. I know there are more Pinoy talent.They are just waiting to be noticed and recognised.

Amelia Earhart: Someday we'll know

"Whatever happen to Amelia Earhart"
"Who holds the stars up in the sky"

A famous line from the song Someday we'll know, sung by Mandy Moore featuring Jon Foreman. A line that is so true, mysterious and very intriguing. Who is Amelia Earhart?

Atlantic Ocean is one of the largest Ocean, a major body of water in the earth's surface. In 1928, Amelia Mary Earhart also known as Amelia Earhart, serves as a passenger in a Fokker F.VIIb/3m and safely landed at Wales, United Kingdom.From the province of Canada across Atlantic Ocean up to the UK it took them 20 hours and 40 minutes. With this journey she is named as the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. She was named "Lady Lindy", as a female version of Charles Lindbergh and also called "Queen of the Air".

This is just the beginning, after the famous flight, she attempted and successfully surpasses flight records. The money that she was earning from endorsements and for being an associate editor at Cosmopolitan magazine was use as a finance to her flying expeditions. In 1932, Amelia again crossed the Atlantic Ocean, but this time she is in the pilot seat. After 14 hours, 56 minutes she landed at Derry, Northern Ireland where Amelia Earhart Centre is built.

In 1937 Amelia together with her husband George Putnam finance her fly and attempt a round the world flight with a a record breaker of 29000 miles. June 1 of the same year Amelia and Fred Noonan started the journey, from Miami to Lae New Guinea they already achieved 22000 miles. July 1,1937 they left Lae with a mission to land at Howland Island and fulfill a 29000 miles round the world flight. But the mission was unsuccessful, after the last radio communication with Earhart nothing was heard from them.

Private and government search/rescue operations lasted for almost 2 years. Aside from false radio and recorded signals nothing was found as an evidence of crashed or explosion. No one can tell what happened to them and on January 1939 when her husband requested for "death in absentia", Amelia Earhart legally declared dead.

The disappearance of Amelia is still a mystery, and after 72 years the question is still "What happened to Amelia Earhart?".

ONDOY: The power of Nature.

Yesterday after 24 hours of raining, a city becomes a sea of water. Nature proves how powerful he is when he strikes back. Thousands of people where stranded and trapped in the roof of their house. Children, old people, people who are sick and pregnant women badly needs food and water after staying the whole day at the top of their house.

Even celebrities were trapped in their house, Christine Reyes, Jennica Garcia, Gladys Reyes and Carmina Villaroel are some of those who ask help. Christine was saved by her friend Richard Gutierrez, Jennica was saved about 1 am in the morning, Gladys was rescued by her friends Judy Anne Santos and her husband Ryan Agoncillo. Carmina Villaroel as of now where still trapped in their house.

Numbers of dead people is now being carried after the flood subside. Mainly they died of drowning after being washed out by a strong current of water. The most affected areas are Rizal, Marikina, Pasig and Cainta.

The bright side of this disaster is everyone where really doing their best to help all the people who are trapped and stranded. Specially those big commercial companies, famous local celebrities, the government officials, soldiers and even just ordinary people. The Kapamilya ABS-CBN Network and the GMA 7 Kapuso Network is now collecting cash and pledges to help. The two big networks are now giving relief goods, food, medicine, and clothes.

Right now my prayers goes for those who have losts their love ones and for those who are still looking for their families and relatives.

King of Pop Michael Jackson died at age 50.


August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009


I'm still in shock after hearing that the King of POp Michael Jackson is dead. I was listening to the radio while I am cleaning, then a Dj said that wikipedia is updated, and she read that the "late Michael Jackson" and I thought it was just a joke. And its a weird thing that they were playing Michael Jackson song with trivias and all his achievements, and then later on they announced that the show is dedicated to the King of Pop Michael Jackson and he is dead.

I read that he died of cardiac arrest, they tried to resuscitate him and then they rushed him to UCLA Medical Center. The cause of death is still unknown until the result of the autopsy reveal. The KING is expected to have a big comeback with his concert in London on July, but with his sudden death million of his fans will never see him again performing.

I am a Michael Jackson fan, his music and all his achievements, whatever happened to his personal life I think is a different thing. He created history in music with his album Thriller and with his songs. Until now his songs brings goose bumps and excitement on me, no one can ever compare on him when his on stage and started to do his signature dance, the moonwalk.

With his death people will start to recognize his achievements,will gave him awards and will say good things about him, for me it is too late to do because his gone. To think that when he was still alive they say nasty things about him.I really wonder why people and award giving bodies start to recognize someone who did great things when they are already dead. Why can't they gave it to them while they can still celebrate it and they can thank people that helped him.

Well another talented man is in GOD's kingdom now, again his music will always play in our hearts. REST IN PEACE KING OF POP!
