Six-shooter Phil Younghusband takes top scorer title

Phil Younghusband’s double in the Philippines’ epic 4-3 win over Palestine in Monday’s third-place play-off saw the prolific Azkals’ striker emerge as the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup’s Top Scorer.

The 24-year-old confidently swept a 24th minute penalty passed Palestine keeper Ramzi Saleh for his tournament-topping sixth goal having netted number five just four minutes into the match with the West Asians.

Younghusband had gone into final day of an engrossing AFC Challenge Cup leading the race for the top scorer award having scored both goals in the Philippines' 2-0 win over 2008 champions India and the openers in both the 2-1 victory over inaugural winners Tajikistan and the semi-final defeat toTurkmenistan.

"Obviously, the attack has been getting the praise because we have been scoring but it's been a total team effort in this tournament," Younghusband said prior to the match with Palestine.

"My expectations are always to score more but the most important thing is the team wins."

"It's good because I have a connection with my brother James and Angel (Guirado) and this has helped me a lot while playing with Paul (Mulders) has also given me a lot of confidence," revealed the former Chelsea reserve forward, who has now netted 24 times since getting his first goal for the Azkals in 2007 AFF Suzuki Cup qualifier against Timor Leste.

A Thousand Words (2012)

He only has 1,000 words left to discover what matters most! 
After stretching the truth on a deal with a spiritual guru, literary agent Jack McCall finds a Bodhi tree on his property. Its appearance holds a valuable lesson on the consequences of every word we speak. Norbit director Brian Robbins re-teams with that film's star, Eddie Murphy, for this comedy about a smooth-talking man who discovers that he has only 1,000 words left to speak before dying.
Eddie Murphy is Jack McCall, a fast-talking literary agent, who can close any deal, any time, any way.  He has set his sights on New Age guru Dr. Sinja (Cliff Curtis) for his own selfish purposes. But Dr. Sinja is on to him, and Jack's life comes unglued after a magical Bodhi tree mysteriously appears in his backyard. With every word Jack speaks, a leaf falls from the tree and he realizes that when the last leaf falls, both he and the tree are toast. Words have never failed Jack McCall, but now he's got to stop talking and conjure up some outrageous ways to communicate or he's a goner.

He starts the film barking demands into his cell phone, then grimacing when his wife, Kerry Washington hands him their toddler. He fakes a phone call from a wife in labor in order to line-jump at Starbucks. He mistreats the little people in his life, like his harried assistant (Clark Duke), who has to tweeze all the non-yellow-moon marshmallows out of his boss’ Lucky Charms. And above all, he talks a blue streak: In a typical bit of let-me-spell-out-the-subtext dialogue, he announces to a staff meeting at his agency, “This is what I do! I can talk anyone into anything!”

Then, after he lies to a placid guru , Cliff Curtis, while ignoring a spiritual message about the value of silence, Murphy becomes magically bonded to a tree, which sheds a leaf for every word he says, or writes, or even communicates. Once it loses all its leaves, Curtis says, it will no doubt die—and Murphy with it. In theory, the resulting enforced silence leads Murphy to understand which words are truly important, and absorb the value of stillness and self-examination. In practice, he mostly learns that if he doesn’t constantly fill the air with chatter, everyone around him, including Washington, Duke, his boss Alison Janney, Starbucks barista Jack " Kenneth the page" McBrayer,   and others will leap to the most idiotic conclusions imaginable about what his huge gestures and silly faces are attempting to convey.

A Thousand Words is a comedy and drama genre movie, directed by Brian Robbins and written by Steve Koren , which is rated PG-13 for some sexual situations including dialogue and drug-related humors.

This movie really looks heartwarming and hilarious with Eddie Murphy, a comedic genius with immense talent. Enjoy this movie and you'll think about what's important in life while having great laughs along the way. 


Olivia Newton-John LIVE in Manila


Four-time Grammy Award winner Olivia Newton-John is finally coming to Manila for her one-night Greatest Hits concert on Saturday, March 31 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The music icon is behind the well-loved hits, I Honestly Love You, Hopelessly Devoted To You, Physical, Xanadu, Suddenly, You’re The One That I Want, Summer Nights, Have You Ever Been Mellow, Magic, Don’t Stop Believin, Guilty, I Can’t Help It (Duet with Andy Gibb), among many others.
Olivia’s appeal seems to be timeless. With a career spanning more than four decades she is still a vibrant, creative individual that is adored by fans across the world.  Throughout her career, the much-loved star, who danced with Gene Kelly in Xanadu, hosted the popular internationally syndicated “Wild Life” television show, was bestowed an O.B.E. (Order Of The British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth in 1979, has held many humanitarian causes close to her heart, particularly since the birth of her daughter Chloe in 1986. Her charmed life has not been without its share of upset.  In the 90’s, Olivia successfully overcame her own battle with breast cancer, which inspired her self-penned and produced album, “GAIA,” her most personal album reflecting upon her experiences with cancer.  She used these experiences to gain greater self-awareness and became a positive inspiration to millions of people battling cancer.  As a breast cancer survivor, Olivia has become increasingly well known and respected for talking openly about her battle with breast cancer and for promoting public awareness of the importance of early detection. Now, 19 years later (and cancer free) she has become a passionate advocate in creating awareness for early detection and, encouraging women to take a more active role in their breast health.

"The Freedom Song" by Jason Mraz


Another new track off of Jason Mraz's new album Love Is A Four Letter Word and he releases his new single as a lyric video "The Freedom Song.

"It's not a departure in the sound of the genre in any way, it's just different tones, 
different textures. Musically, I think people are going to like it.
 It's personal. It's melodic. And it's mellow. 
There's a couple of up-tempo tunes, but mostly the rhythm of the heartbeat kind of takes precedence on this record. Medium-tempo tunes; which I love.
 It feels more like the pace of life. At least, based on my life and what I've been doing."


Talking to Billboard Magazine in Dec. 2011, Mraz indicated that the album was completed keeping with his personal melodic style.


"Freedom Song" 

I picture something, it’s beautiful
It’s full of life, and it is all blue
I see a sunset on the beach, yeah
It makes me feel calm
When I’m calm, I feel good
And when I feel good, I sing
And the joy it brings makes me feel good
And when I feel good, I sing
And the joy it brings
Come on along
I know you really wanna feel our song
We’ve got some light to bring
We’ve got some joy in this thing
(x2)
I see birds fly across the sky
Everyone’s heart flies to get there
Food is frying and people’s smiling
Like there is no other way to feel good
And when I feel good, I sing
And the joy it brings makes me feel good
And when I feel good, I sing
And the joy it brings
Come on along
I know you really wanna feel our song
We’ve got some light to bring
We’ve got some joy in this thing
(x2)
Freedom
Got to give you some of that freedom
It’s freedom
Freedom
You deserve your own freedom
It’s freedom
Freedom
It gets over you, over you, over you, over you
Freedom
Got to get you some of that freedom
It’s a smile you can get when your heart beat.
