National Geographic article here.

I wonder if Nat Geo Latin America will broadcast Live… coz I wanna see on my tv. Anyway, there’s also a link where you can watch the webcast (here, I think) – You’ll need Quicktime.

Concert begins at 7pm-12 Reykjavik, Iceland GMT time… meaning GMT -5 in Peru Time, 2pm

Best title for like EVER. LOL’

The film was a little TOO bizarre for me, but it does get some very funny moments, and I couldn’t help but post a collage of capture of the first half of the film with Yu Aoi with an electrical perm, Juri Ueno with her perm, and funny faces and expressions, including Azuki Panda-chan~~ and the “hue hue hue hue hue” laugh, and “puan~” moments.

Heloise, Wallis Bird and Alanis for Download

It’s not yesterday, but I decided to post 3 tracks for the 3 year anniversary. If you might have a request, post a comment in this post. I might have it and post it, or I might find it and post it. These links will go inactive when people stop downloading (or most likely in 7 days because I don’t have a sendspace account), and won’t post again. Support your favorite artist, and good music!

Alanis Morissette – In Praise of the Vulnerable Man (Sendspace)
Heloise & the Savoir Faire – On Fuego (Sendspace) [really hard to find album torrent]
Wallis Bird – Blossoms in the Street (Sendspace) [really hard to find torrent aswell]

Last Friends Lightroom!

*Swoons* More lightroom testing. I played around with 3 different types of photos, some captures from the intro in nifty Black & White, nifty in character photos, and cool photos of the actors not in character.

A little over a year ago, I blogged some music. I had discovered Kazumi & Maia, and it has been the most difficult thing to get their lyrics coz no one blogs them. Le sigh~~~ And their website (Record Company Website) wasn’t helpful either… Le sigh sigh~~~ u_U

Who are Kazumi & Maia? They are two Japanese women in France who do crazy genre music fusion in French and Japanese… or so called ‘chanson franco-japonaise” ~ Le gasp!! One of my best online music findings, because it was instant love! But if no one blogs them, how are they to become popular?? So I decided to blog them because I found out that Amazon.com has their album “L’Amitie” in their site. As of this moment, the item it’s listed as “out of stock” but they also have a note saying they’ll deliver it when they get it.

The hard-copy album, I think, it’s a bit pricey… BUT it DOES come with a so-called “Bonus DVD”, so who knows… it migth be worth it. Considering the state of their online ‘presence’, it makes me wonder if they would take much care to make a really kick ass bonus disc, though…. Le sigh sigh~ So if hard-copy is not your thing, you can get it through Amazon MP3 – you see, the good thing about digital downloads is that it’s always in stock, LOL – and if you’re not a US IP user (until Amazon MP3 turns international… when is that happening anyway??!?! I thought it was soon~~), you can get the album through Calabash Music.

Yup, finally as well. It already began showing, but you wouldn’t believe how freaky was to find out it was showing. It was a regular day in the evening when I suddenly thought to myself that I missed watching The Ellen Show because, well… no one broadcasted the show (until now), so I missed watching it from time to time. So maybe I thought of sending a message through her website complainig about it, ha! One minute later (literally), I saw the commercial that it was gonna begin broadcasting.

The Ellen Show is showing from Monday to Friday at 5 p.m. (GMT -5, Peru Time) on Warner Channel (Channel 16 Cable Magico). I leave you with some Ellen Spanish Funny. The Spanish classes did sure pay up!

When I was in Canada, one of my favorite programs on the Food Network was Iron Chef. Not the American version, I don’t care for the American version… but the Japanese!!

Tell me what you eat, and I’ll tell you what you are.

Funnyness ensued when they used REALLY bad dubbing for it. “Unh… Fukui-san” xD

I wanted to let you all know that the show will be broadcasting in Sony Entertainment Television (15 Cable Magico) on Saturdays at 8 p.m. (GMT -5, Peru Time).

Today it’s 3 years since the opening of amy-wong.com!! Wow, so many design changes, so many backend changes… my only regret on backend changes was that I accidentally lost information, le sigh.

So, actually… I’ve no idea what I’ll be doing to commemorate these 3 years, but I’ll talk it over with my pillow in a few minutes.

I once received a comment that I thought was freaky spam from a bot, that apparently turned out to be a real person. Though I still have my doubts~~ But still freaks me out. I hate obsessive spam.

Anyway, I was checking my spam queu, and came upon a spam comment that at first read I thought was a real comment. Hahaha! I was so impressed with it that I messaged my friend and she told me she couldn’t tell how this was spam, until I showed her the last bit of message. Here’s a capture of WP’s Dashboard.

Holy Shit - Smart Spam

Which makes me wonder, did actress Meredith Henderson really left a message in my old old OLD website when I had the guestbook that erased itself?? I hope she did, that was a fond memory, as well as the message that ANTM Cycle 7 contestant, Megan Morris, left on my MySpace. I don’t hang around MySpace much these days though~~~ le sigh.

Hahaha, the reason we love Nodame Cantabile is because Juri Ueno as lovable Nodame. Now, if you don’t know the series, you will still love this behind the scene of Juri Ueno singing Nodame’s Fart Exercise song.

It turns out that the song was so popular, Juri recorded a small album with kids songs. You can find the lyrics in Japanese, Romaji and English translation of the funnyness in here. (also includes imeem link)
