They after all gained international fame and recognition, when they’re performance of Thriller was uploaded on YouTube in 2007.
It has since reached more that 25 million hits, with their performance even reported at CNN, BBC and other international media outlets.
Last Saturday, the dancing inmates from Cebu gave tribute to Michael Jackson by performing four of his songs in a row.
Clad in their prison uniform, the inmates filed one by one into the fenced exercise yard at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center.

These days, it is really not easy not to get in debt. To be able to get to the next paycheck, chances are you’re going to get a loan again… and when payday comes, you’ll be paying debts instead of enjoying the fruits of your labor. Worst, you have more than three creditors who are running after you.
Solution? Hide. No, not that. I mean, debt consolidation so you can manage all those multiple debts easily.
Have you heard about Audiobank.fm and their royalty free music offerings? It is a website that contains a great collection of unique music and great sound effects, which you can use any which way you want. Well, because it’s royalty free music they’re selling there.
And if you are into the percussion thing, why not check their Reason drum kits page, and get a feel of how it is like in an online recording studio. I know, this is one website I’m going to explore.
I have already submitted my final list of Top 10 for Janette’s Writing Project. Making the final list is not easy, as most bloggers would agree. There’s just too many worthy blogs to consider.
Earthlingorgeous admits she’s having a tough time choosing. So she is holding a contest for it. You can join the contest and help Earthlingorgeous discover emerging influential blogs to complete her own list of Top 10 suggesting your Top 5 Picks.
And I certainly wouldn’t miss a chance to make pitch for my top 5 picks.
So here they are:
1. The Struggling Blogger - don’t confuse with this blog (dot com version), the original struggling blogger got more votes, and this blog is more than willing to give way.

Susan Boyle maybe an early favorite to win the finals in “Britain’s Got Talent!” being an overnight internet sensation and all, but it was the 10-men troupe of street dancers from Essex that bagged the first place, with Boyle settling for the second place.
Diversity won over Susan Boyle, and even the group was shocked to hear the decision.
But they did deliver a very outstanding performance in the finals night. Even hard-to-please Simon Cowell said that it is the only performance he would give a 10 to for the night. He also said “There was not a step out of place, it was sheer and utter perfection what you just did there.”

The poem I wrote for a Jedi Knight didn’t have enough of the force to merit a recognition. But if it’s any consolation on my part, there were great entries in the poetry division and I am honored just to be in line with them.
The script I wrote for my son’s classroom presentation however managed to make it to the Top 7. So it’s not really a loss for the struggling blogger.
Here’s the complete list of winners and the other participants.

I just recieved this in my e-mail today. It warns that shrimp or prawn should not be taken together with Vitamin C. I’m not really sure whether this is true or not. I’m posting it on my blog so that:
- our blogger friends who are in the field of medicine/health may shed a light on this for the uninformed (like me)
- and if it’s true, then we all could at least be warned.
Again, this is posted here not to issue any false facts, but to share what has just been forwarded to me through e-mail, and perhaps give us all a chance to understand the truth behind the message.
Here’s the complete text of the e-mail:

Back in 2004, my eldest son Ralph Emerson was in his first year in high school. I was still working then.
I came home quite late one day, my son told me they will have a classroom presentation the next day… and he was the appointed leader of their group. He asked me to prepare something for them.
Again, the presentation would be the next day.
So I asked him the details, what subject? what is required of them? how many are they in the group? and what else do I need to know?
It will be for their English subject, they are required to present something - drama, play, song, dance… anything! As long as they would present the different Parts of Speech in the most creative way.
They were 6 in the group, including my son who is the group leader, and they left everything to him and expected him to have something the next morning.
That’s all I need to know. Great!

So this is my not-so-late post about my iBlog5 experience, and just like everybody else, I enjoyed the day. And why can’t I? I’m in the company of friends! The trip all from Angeles City was really worth it!
Thanks to Zorlone who picked me up from MRT North Station, otherwise I wouldn’t know my way to event. And there I was finally able to meet Mon of Fatherlyours and Snow of Dear Bloggery. During the breaks I was also able to meet Ceblogger and Jonel Uy.
