Charice joining the next season of Glee?

It was early this month when rumors began to spread that the Filipina international singer Charice is joining the popular TV show "Glee" but it was she herself who denied the reports via her Twitter account saying that “I just want to let you all know, that it’s not true that I’m going to be on Glee.”

Well, it appears that this is now true. The scoop came from “The Ausiello Files” of Entertainment Weekly saying that indeed Charice is joining the cast of Glee and that she will be playing a foreign exchange student with killer vocals. Then it was confirmed by the singer’s official website and Twitter account saying that she tried to audition and made it.

So what do you think?

I’m not a fan of "Glee" but if Charice is joining the series then I and other Filipinos will surely support her. There’s no doubt that she can sing but some people are wary if she can act as well. Well, this is something that we should watch out for. Besides, this is not the first time that she will venture into acting. If I’m not mistaken, she played as herself in her biopic in the Philippine’s top-rating drama anthology “Maalaala Mo Kaya.” It may not be as big as "Glee" but it is something worth mentioning nonetheless.

Charice has come a long way and has brought pride and honor to the Filipino race. She succeeded where many artists failed. If she will be joining the TV series then this is something worth celebrating. Filipinos should be proud of her.

MYX Daily Top 10 - June 18, 2010 Featuring "Kung Wala Na Nga" by 6 Cyclemind

For today’s MYX Daily Top 10, I’m happy to see two OPM acts who managed to climb in the top three spots in the countdown. “Kung Wala Na Nga” by Filipino band 6Cyclemind is at number 2 while another Pinoy band Callalily is occupying the number 3 spot with their song “Gabay.” Korean band “Super Junior” still owns the number 1 spot with “Bonamana.”

The number 2 song "Kung Wala Na Nga" is included in 6Cyclemind’s album entitled “Project: 6Cyclemind” which was released last year. The band is composed of Rhoneil "Ney" Dimaculangan on lead vocals, Ryan "Rye" Sarmiento on rhythm guitars and backup vocals, Carlos "Chuck" Isidro on lead guitars, Bobby "Bob" Cañamo on bass guitar and Tito Fortunato "Tutti" Caringal on drums and backup vocals. Chuck Isidro was the former lead guitarist of the band “AfterImage” before it disbanded.

Have you ever wondered where they’ve got the name of their band? Well, according to some sources, it comes from the 5 members of the band plus their manager to form a group of 6 which have been working collectively to contribute in the continuous cycle of creating music, hence the name 6 Cyclemind. Theirs is a fusion of alternative and pop music.

Learning a Musical Instrument.

My girlfriend Donna brought home an acoustic guitar. I didn’t know that she can play this instrument but I was delighted when I got home and found her strumming a guitar. She said that she borrowed the musical instrument from a friend whom she said played the guitar so well which eventually inspired her to practice her guitar playing skills. She knew that I have been wanting to buy one so I can learn the instrument as well but I didn’t have the time. She taught me a couple of things and I watched her play a few songs. She knows how to play the guitar alright but she really can’t sing lol.

On impulse, I browsed the internet for information and online stores where I can buy an acoustic guitar and found Musical Gear. The website offers a plethora of musical gears including Vintage Musical Instruments. I found a beautiful acoustic guitar at a very affordable price. Actually, most musicians’ gears are at below retail prices. What I found valuable are the tips and hints that the website offers.

Tips to a successful meeting.

Many people have the impression that meetings are usually boring and a waste of time. While I have also attended boring meetings before, I have managed to attend constructive meetings where the objectives of the meetings were achieved and the desired outcomes have been reached. I believe that it all boils down to the effectiveness of the preparation and planning for the meeting. Successful meetings have specific objectives. Two very clear reasons why meetings are bound to fail are because it was called without a clear purpose or agenda and it lacks the necessary planning to ensure success.

However, the success of any meeting is determined not only by the effectiveness of your planning and preparation for the meeting, you also need to set positive expectations among the employees. They need to understand the importance of these meetings in the overall operation of the business and their specific role in making it a success.

Aside from the purpose of the meeting, some things that need to be considered when planning a meeting are the participants, timing and the location. It is imperative to plan the number of participants carefully. It may be wise to limit the participants to specific members of staff who will contribute positively to the purpose of the meeting. Timing is also of the essence as some people are more productive in certain times of the day. If you know the time when the meeting will be held, you will also know if refreshments or food is needed for the meeting.

Lastly, the success of a business meeting can also depend on the venue. Often times, it is best to consider alternative venues instead of holding it in normal offices. This would help participants focus more on the matter at hand without the distractions of their individual jobs and the usual working environment. Hotels provide meeting rooms and conference facilities for your business meetings and events. One of these is the Holiday Inn in Glasgow. The meeting rooms in Glasgow are one of the ideal places to host your event such as business meetings or large corporate events. At the center of Glasgow, known as “the Friendly City”, Holiday Inn Glasgow hotels offer a friendly atmosphere with an excellent choice of restaurants, wine bars, cafes and pubs offering a chance to relax and unwind after a grueling day at a business meeting. Shopping, sports and other leisure events are well established in Glasgow. Princes Square, Buchanan Galleries and the Barras weekend street market are the most popular shopping destinations and the Kevin Sports arena offers visitors swimming and other leisure activities that are within reach of meeting rooms in Glasgow.
