Moymoy Palaboy The New Superstar!

Check this out friends!

I was lying in bed last Friday night watching “Bubble Gang” with my wife and 3 yr. old son.  One of the segments was “IyoTube“, if featured two guys lip-synching a popular song of a foreign artist. 

The way these two supposedly grown men lip-synching the song was so hilarious that I was laughing so hard.  My wife and son were no better.  My son was laughing so hard with the antics on T.V. that he spilled his milk all over him.  Then last night as my wife and I are surfing the web we came across “You tube”  and found out that the guys doing the lip-synching has their own You Tube Channel!  We checked it out and Wow!  These guys has made so much videos doing the lip-synching thing.

It turns out that these guys are brothers the one without the wig is James Ronald Obeso and the guy wearing a wig is his brother Rodfil.  Rodfil opted to wear a wig to conceal his identity.

The guys are so huge that GMA and MTV signed them up!  They even have fans abroad.  One example is that during their gig in Bedrock an American approached them and told them that his brother is a “huge fan” it turns out the the American’s name is John Cetera and his brother was the one and only Peter Cetera of the band “Chicago”

These guys will surely be a superstar soon!  They are actually doing some tours and they went to Adamson University Tuesday and they are scheduled to go to Miriam College tomorrow (Aug 1. 2008).  Tonight they will be features in “100% Pinoy” in GMA!

Check out there website here and there YouTube channel here.

So Watch out world!  Momoy Palaboy is here!

What’s The Buzz about Havaianas?

Flip-flops!  They’re are without a doubt the most worn footwear in the Philippines.  They are so comfortable, light and now a days fashionable.  My wife adores them specially the ones made by a certain Brazilian company named Havaianas!

I went to the “Flip-flop Store” with my wife a few weeks ago and I haven’t seen so many thong slippers in one room.  And what’s more shocking is that the store is so full!  Men and women it seems can’t get enough of these flops.  I saw a dear old lady purchased 6 of these and still can’t decide if she bought enough.  I took a look at a few of them and I must admit the style and colors are nice, fashionable to some extent.  But when I look at the price tag I thought to myself “Insane!”  The lowest that I saw was about 700 Pesos and that’s for children.  The most expensive was about 1,250 pesos.  But I wasn’t sure if that was the most expensive.  I was so dizzy with the prices that I to stop and took a seat.  “Wow!”  I thought again, and they say the Philippines is in the verge of poverty.  Clearly the people stampeding into the store has lots of cash to throw away. In fact the Northwestern University National Champion Lacrosse team wore Flip-flops when the met the President George Bush last year.

I just have to get to the bottom of it.  I know it’s fashionable, but so are other flip-flop brands.  Hell I even prefer “Islanders“, but I know it’s “Ewww” to other people.  But still the mystery of these “slippers” left me with the intense desire to investigate. Unfortunately I can’t get enough information to post it here.  I tried their website but I only got the order form.  Either they don’t have info available on the web or they just want profits.  All I want to know is, what kind of rubber are they made of and why oh why are they so expensive?  I checked  the prices on the U.S. website and a pair that I saw cost $22.00.  Insane I told you.

But if it’s the price of fashion who am I to complain.  At least these flip-flops puts a smile on my darling wife’s beautiful face.
