So does a bombshell goes kaboom?

It sure does! Well something goes kaboom! Especially when all alone in my room, and I see this photo of the 2014 calendar girl posted on my wall.

There's more than one version so that means a lot of kabooms going on until the next bombshell surfaces.

But in this day and age, there will surely be one coming in fast before you could even say "Kaboom-boom-boom!"

Behind a rusted gate along Roosevelt Avenue, jazz was cookin’ on a Sunday afternoon. A melting pot of musicians gathered in composer Bob Aves’ musical studio to rehearse for the Out of the Tradition Concert happening this December 11, at the PETA Theater Center.

“My music needs a new breed of jazz musicians”, say Bob Aves. His music, which he calls Philippine World Jazz, is a fusion of modern jazz and traditional gong culture.

Once the Fender-slingin’ lead for the fusion band “Destiny” in the 70’s, Aves has maintained a constant presence in the Philippine music scene as a composer, musical director and arranger. His credentials could read like history of four decades of the contemporary music scene having worked with musicians across diverse genres. Pop groups, rock bands, folk singers, movie soundtracks – name it, he’s done it.

Urbanears Humlan Clover : Hardware Review While Watching Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

There's this new TV series that has caught my attention because it seems to be a spin-off of the Avengers' stories. Yes! the Avengers - Captain America, Ironman, Thor, Hulk and the rest of the costumed superheroes of Marvel. But this focuses on the S.H.I.E.L.D. (an acronym for (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division) people - those bunch of men with suits and dark shades led by Nick Fury.

But Nick Fury only does cameos here. The real star is Phil Coulson, with actor Clark Gregg reprising the role. "Agent Phil Coulson puts together a small team of normal, non-superhuman S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to handle strange new cases with some of them involving the mysterious Project Centipede and their experiments with Extremis. Each case will test the team in cooperation and ingenuity as they try to work together in trying to save the world from threatening, supernatural events on Earth." - Wikipedia.

My problem is that I only have time to watch during night time - actually late at night when everyone is already sleeping. So I always had to lower the volume when I watch the video. This becomes a disappointment as I couldn't really "feel" the action if I can't hear the dialogues loud and clear.

Then came Urbanears Humlan Clover! When I heard it was coming, it was music to my ears!
