ANG SARAP DITO
Lyrics

[Chorus:]
Lilipad na ako
Sabayan niyo ako
Ang sarap dito
Sa pupuntahan ko
Bubuhos na ang saya
Tayo na, sumama ka
Ang sarap dito
Sa pupuntahan ko

Sawa na ‘ko sa dati
Naiinip parati
Wala na ‘kong magawa
Dito’y sawang-sawa

Ayoko na sa gan’on
Lahat sobrang tahimik
Gusto ko ng mas maingay
Tumikim na nang tunay

[Repeat Chorus]

Ang uhaw ko sa laro
Parang biglang napawi
Wala na ring hapdi
Nakangiti na lagi

Pananabik sa bagong buhay
Bigla na lang naabot
Nang tumikim ako nang tunay
Nawala na ang bugnot

[Repeat Chorus]

Tikman mo
Ang sarap dito
Tikman mo
Ang sarap dito

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

Tikman mo
Ang sarap dito
Tikman mo
Ang sarap dito
Tikman mo
Ang sarap dito
Tikman mo

Ever thought if you could play those flash videos on your Winamp or Windows Media Player?

Wonder no more. Adobe has just launch and made available for download the Adobe Media Player.

Since almost 3 out of 5 video in the online sites are flash items, Adobe Media Player may just revolutionize the way we view our videos. It is still in the beta stage and while testing it, I found the graphic quality to be so excellent and prime class, towards HD quality already, as only the best flash media player that there is could afford.

Except that some videos in its gallery are not playable still or available in every territory—-but we can wait, don’t we?

Widget Channel: The Future of TV and Internet

Just about these times that I had been daydreaming about something concerning television—about how the way we should watch and enjoy it, in this age of supercomputers—Intel and Yahoo! has just recently announced the latest innovation in Internet technology by initiating the Widget Channel project . To be sure, this technology would entirely change the way TV viewers enjoy the ever-present boob-tube. The combination of TV and Internet is just the way to go for home entertainment.

Accordingly, Yahoo-branded TV widgets “will enable consumers to engage in a variety of experiences such as watching videos, tracking their favorite stocks or sports teams, interacting with friends, or staying current on news and information.”

Sometime ago, while I was watching TV at home by my lonesome, I had suddenly imagined someone, or some voice that was trying to catch my attention. “Hey you!” the voice said, “It’s me, Mr. Ryan Seacrest of American Idol”.

I would of course be so startled and would have asked the voice (to which I am not yet sure to where it came from) “Me? Are you talking to me?”

And the voice (allegedly that of the famous and handsome Ryan Seacrest) would say, “Yeah you, the one sitting on a rocking chair wearing an orange shirt. You just won a million dollars!!!” and other voices would suddenly come bursting out saying “Congratulations, you who is presently sitting in a rocking chair, from the Philippines!”; voices that should come from Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and the miraculously nice-sounding Mr. Simon Cowell.

Of course that scenario was just an illusion and if it had actually happened to me just most recently, I would have been so amazed and so startled that I wouldn’t be able to move from my rocking chair for some moments.

But someday, that scenario, where TV and Internet are fused together, allowing easy interaction between and among the viewers and the viewed, especially becoming useful for TV contests that give lots of money away, would no longer be so startling and so surprising, for in fact that’ll be just the future of the way we enjoy home entertainment.

And with the advent of Widget Channel, the future is so near. Thanks to Intel and Yahoo!

Salvation Kid Rock Style

David Letterman says in his show that it was controversial. With this kind of album title, nobody’s surprise.

Controversy gets attention and so I sampled the music. Well, it is. “Rock and Roll Jesus” contains lyrics that is likely to ignite religious sentiments.

But hey, upon second look and on listening on the songs, I could say that Kid Rock may be preaching the right things rather than the malicious implications. Look deeper and hear more closely. Kid Rock is not blaspheming sacred faith. If he did, I wouldn’t listen at all.

“Amen” is definitely clean and believes in someone “Above”. “All Summer Long” has some good straight-forward message.

And the music, the music is just awesome. American rock is revived, finally. Kid Rock is preaching that.

In “Rock and Roll Jesus”, there’s one dangerous line there, like “sex, drugs and alcohol”, but that’s only one line. The rest could be saying the right things.

Kid Rock is transforming himself. He needs time. With patience, he might just do the right things and sing about it.

And again, the music is just awesome. No wonder it stays on the top of the Billboard Album Charts for several weeks now.

Rating: 8 out of 10.

Mozilla Launches Ubiquity

Wonder if web-browsing could be even better with ultra-modern PDA’s around—Palm and iPhones for example—well, you bet there could be such a scenario.

Enter UBIQUITY. Mozilla is launching this state-of-the-art program that would greatly enhanced web browsing while on the road.

One could e-mail, map addresses, search the web and saving updates all at once by allowing users one-touch funtionality.

Accordingly:

The overall goals of Ubiquity are to explore how best to:

Empower users to control the web browser with language-based instructions. (With search, users type what they want to find. With Ubiquity, they type what they want to do.)
Enable on-demand, user-generated mashups with existing open Web APIs. (In other words, allowing everyone–not just Web developers–to remix the Web so it fits their needs, no matter what page they are on, or what they are doing.)

Use Trust networks and social constructs to balance security with ease of extensibility.

Extend the browser functionality easily.
