Nicanor Perlas- The Practical Visionary

Nicanor Perlas, 59 years old, has a global reputation as a “practical visionary”. He sets goals that many consider impossible, moves into action, and succeeds. His achievements have benefited the lives of millions of Filipinos. PERLAS advocates a Platform of Governance that has SIX PILLARS. This platform aims to: Eradicate Poverty and Enhance Quality of Life Advance Moral and Effective Governance Uphold the Integrity of Creation Build Partnerships for Social Justice Promote Holistic Education and Inner Change Mainstream Visionary Initiatives Many said it was “impossible”: To stop the corrupt-ridden and dangerous Marcos Bataan Nuclear Power Plant; To stop bribery and ban 32 pesticide formulations poisoning millions of farmers; To inaugurate large-scale farming without toxic chemicals; To mainstream sustainable development in the country; To protect the jobs of millions of rice farmers from trade liberalization; To remove the scandal-prone Estrada from office. Yet Perlas not only dreamt the “impossible” but, together with others, achieved it, benefiting millions of Filipinos. In addition, he has helped thousands of poor farmers in over 25 provinces remove their addiction to harmful farm chemicals. Plus he helped inaugurate a micro-finance initiative that now benefits 240,000 micro-enterprising poor. Many prestigious organizations have given Perlas their highest award, cementing his reputation as a man of both vision and action. Perlas has received global awards for his work in governance, peace, environment, sustainable agriculture, global economic and financial management, globalization, among others. Manuel L. Quezon Award for Exemplary Governance (August 2009) Alternative Nobel Prize (Right Livelihood Award) (October 2003) The Outstanding Filipino (TOFIL) Award. (October 1994) UN Environmental Program Global 500 Roll of Honor (June 1994) Rev. William Masterson S.J. Award (March 1995) Many politicians promise to benefit the life of Filipinos yet fail to deliver on their promises. Perlas has already benefited the lives of millions of Filipinos without even promising them. He just did it. He walks his talk. “The true Philippines wants to be born. We are called to take courage, to take risks and to act out of our highest ideals and deepest sources of conviction. Then the impossible can happen. Then our true Philippines will emerge.” - Nicanor Perlas

 Akanishi Poses Fully Nude for First Time, Tuesday September 29, 2009

In the latest issue of the women's magazine ‘an･an' that went on sale on September 23rd, KAT-TUN member Akanishi Jin posed fully nude for his first time! The boldness and sheer provocativeness of the photos were unprecedented for a Johnny's member. Akanishi showed off his trim body while also appearing with a foreign female model in some racy, suggestive scenes. There were even pictures of the two passionately kissing each other.

The other Johnny's members who had appeared nude in the same magazine include V6 member Okada Junichi, Matsumoto Jun of Arashi and Yamashita Tomohisa of NEWS. For this particular edition the magazine chose Akanishi because “From the standpoint of women, he epitomizes an ideal form of male sexiness.” For the previous articles featuring Johnny's members, the photos while provocative had retained a pure, innocent aspect. For the Akanishi version an･an added a different theme: ‘Males Loving Females Tenderly'. Also, Akanishi himself requested for the photos to show an ‘aggressive style' as well. Among the scenes ‘produced' by Akanishi include a photo where he gently bites the jaw of the female model while caressing each other. Throughout the photo session Akanishi talked with the female model in fluent English to make her feel comfortable. The intimate atmosphere between the two made it seem as if the pair really were seeing each other.

The sexy, wild ‘Akanishi Land' spanned 8 whole pages, and doubtless female fans became hypnotized by the photos,

Frozen Flower MV - Jo In Sung, Joo Jin Mo, Song Ji Hyo

A much awaited korean movie that was released Dec.30,2008 in Korea, SsangHwaJeom or Frozen Flower starring Jo In Sung, Joo Jin Mo and Song Ji Hyo. I didn't watch Brokeback Mountain but I am gonna watch this for sure.Its got Forbidden love , swordfights galore, royal court intrigues and complicated love triangles , a yaoi fan's delight. If I say I'm watching this because of Jo In Sung (Memories of Bali, Spring Sun, Madelein, The Classic) would you believe me?. Joo Jin Mo of Musa and A Love and Song Ji Hyo of Princess Hours or Goong are in it too. Here is a review from Hancinema after the film's VIP premier.
[MOVIE REVIEW] 'Ssanghwajeom' ("A Frozen Flower") barely avoids trap
2008/12/22
Homosexuality is no longer a hush-hush topic for Korean filmmakers. But depictions of sexuality take another turn in "Ssanghwajeom" ("A Frozen Flower"), as a relationship between two men becomes a triangle of jealousy with an addition of a woman.

But the movie, to be released on Dec. 30, is not limited to sexual entanglement. Sex is used as a key tool to prod the plot forward, often at a rapid pace. To that end, director Yoo Ha includes plenty of explicit scenes of sex and graphic violence. The result, however, is somewhat mixed. The film's poetic justice produces an unlikely anti-hero.

Although the movie sets itself out as a historical drama set in the late Goryeo Dynasty, viewers should bear in mind that the story is purely fictional. The nation is now under the virtual rule of China's Yuan Dynasty, and Goryeo's king (Joo Jin-mo) has to produce a son to keep his position. The only problem is that he cannot sleep with a woman, much less have a romantic relationship with one.

The king's real romantic partner is none other than his chief bodyguard Hong Lim (Jo In-Seong). The two have sex in the inner sanctums of the Goryeo court, and we are shown a graphic kiss scene between the king and Hong Lim, which is bound to shock some Korean viewers.

But the real shocker comes when the king decides to ask Hong Lim to sleep with his wife - the queen (Song Ji-hyo). This idea is based on his assumption that all his political problems will go away once there is a royal son.

The king's miscalculation, of course, is that passionate romantic feelings sometimes form after sex. Hong Lim, who has never slept with a woman before, hesitates to touch the body of the queen at first, but once the physical bond is initiated, he finds himself totally enslaved.

Love triangle established, the plot sprints ahead with a portrayal of the uncontrollable anger and jealousy of the king, leaving heads rolling in the process.

Director Yoo seems to suggest that Hong Lim has long been subjected to a sort of coercion, rather than a real romantic relationship with the king. Hong is a mere subordinate, while the king has all the power, including the right to order his death.

The queen, for her part, discovers the liberating exhilaration when she falls in love with Hong Lim after years of neglect and inattention. She suffers a deep sense of guilt initially but she finds herself indulging in the dangerous liaisons with Hong Lim.

What is notable is that sex in "Ssanghwajeom" ("A Frozen Flower") is deeply associated with death. Eros is often depicted in literature and film as being able to overcome everything. The feelings that interconnect Hong Lim and the queen could backfire lethally because they are cheating on the almighty king.

As far as a plot is concerned, the unfortunate queen and her lover bravely defy the obstacles to prove that mutual love is more powerful than unrequited passion. The king's relationship with Hong Lim has been futile and one-sided. Failing to confirm whether his bodyguard is truly in love with him, he comes to realize that he is totally alone.

It is a pity that the king, trapped in a man's body, is betrayed by his secret lover. What the king fails to notice is that Hong Lim is a bisexual who prefers heterosexual sex.

But Joo Jin-mo does not have to lament his role. It is Jo In-Seong who fails to create much-needed emotional subtlety and often delivers his lines in an annoyingly mechanical fashion. In contrast, Joo Jin-mo emerges as the ultimate winner in the film. Joo pulls off creating a complex and nuanced character with whom audiences will be able to sympathize, rescuing a film that might otherwise have fallen into the trap of having too much sex and violence.

David Usher - Alone in the universe

Ueber hot British born Canadian indie rocker, singer and song writer David Usher from Montreal is amazing. He is eye candy to the older indie rock fans and got his exotic looks from a thai buddhist artist mother and a jewish canadian father from montreal. Here he sings one of my favorite songs Alone in the Universe. Would have wanted to upload other videos but this one is the only one I saw that is for general patronage. His latest single from 2008 Kill the Light is the ost of the movie Dark Knight. Love his songs Black Black Heart, St. Lawrence River and Time of our Lives. Will upload samples to listen to in my Music box. Listen to the song, mark the lyrics that are so true, sing a long with David and think of yourself as alone in the universe, think what a luxury it is to be alone with the cosmos tonight.So wake up to the light.

Alone in the Universe

Jamie's on the bathroom floor she don't know why
She's shaking underneath the sink can't feel a thing
She'd love to live a life she's afraid of failure
With all the voices in her head
Now what was that I thought I hear you scream

I know you can feel it
You're already there
Asleep underwater
Just screaming for air
I know you can feel it
You're already...
Don't you know we're freaks and creature
Wake up I can almost see the light

I think we're alone here you and I
I think we're alone left wondering why
I think we're alone here you and I
I think we're alone in the universe tonight

Alex on the last train home from god knows where
A million miles away from where he thought he'd be
He's got his suit his tie his drink his MTV
He's trading all his life away
You can't escape we're all infected now

I know you can feel it
You're already there
Asleep underwater
Just screaming for air
I know you can feel it
You're already...
Don't you know we're freaks and creatures
Wake up I can almost see the light

I think we're alone here you and I
I think we're alone in the universe tonight

We're all infected now
I know you can feel it
You're already there
Asleep underwater
Just screaming for air
I know you can feel it
You're already...
Don't you know we're freaks and creatures
Wake up I can almost see the light

I think we're alone here you and I
I think we're alone left wondering why
I think we're alone here you and I
I think we're alone in the universe tonight

I think we're alone in the universe tonight
I think we're alone in the universe tonight

Simple Plan- Your Love is a Lie

I fall asleep by the telephone
It's 2 O'clock and I'm waiting up alone
Tell me where have you been?
I found a note with another name
You blow a kiss, but it just don't feel the same
Cause I can feel that you're gone

I can't bite my tongue forever
While you try to play it cool
You can hide behind your stories
But don't take me for a fool

You can tell me that there's nobody else
(But I feel it)
You can tell me that you're home by yourself
(But I see it)
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know
Your love is just a lie
(Lie)
It's nothing but a lie
(Lie)

You look so innocent
But the guilt in your voice gives you away
Yeah you know what I mean
How does it feel when you kiss when you know that i trust you
And do you think about me when he "sexed" you?
Could you be more obscene?

So dont try to say you're sorry
Or try to make it right
Don't waste your breath because it's too late, it's too late.

You can tell me that there's nobody else
(But I feel it)
You can tell me that you're home by yourself
(But I see it)
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know, I know,
Your love is just a lie
(Lie)
It's nothing but a lie
(Lie)
You're nothing but a lie

You can tell me that there's nobody else
(But I feel it)
You can tell me that you're home by yourself
(But I see it)
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know, I know
Your love is just a lie
(Lie
I know you're nothing but a lie
(Lie)
Lie
(Lie)
Lie
(Lie)
Lie
Your love is just a lie
