Did you hear Mariah Carey gave birth already??? It was on the morning of April 30, 2011. The personalized new baby gifts business must be having a great day!

I personally love Mariah Carey! She may be a diva, but she has the voice of a goddess, so she deserves all the special treatment she wants!

And I love that her husband is Nick Cannon. They seem so mismatched but when they’re together, they look/sound so sweet that really, truly, I think they are in love.

And how perfect is it that they are having twins, a boy and a girl, and even better, the twins came out on their anniversary!! Okay, I think this is too much of a coincidence, and I am betting that science helped achieve this miracle, but whatever, it’s still amazing.

Here are some pictures of Mariah pregnant.

And here is a sweet picture of Mariah and Nick.

And here they are in what seems to be a baby shower. Plus loads of baby gifts right behind them I bet!!!

And last, here is my most favorite Mariah song ever, Always Be My Baby.

Congratulations to Mariah and Nick! ♥

DTV stands for Digital Television, which the Philippines will soon have, with ABS-CBN’s initiative of introducing the DTV digibox. DTV is a standard that uses digital signals (as opposed to analog) to broadcast free content.

To use DTV, consumers have to purchase the DTV Digibox, which needs to be connected to their television set. Along with the launch, ABS-CBN is planning to add 5 premium channels for free-to-air TV with DTV: 2 for kids (Disney? Cartoon Network?), 2 for parents (news/sports/soaps?), and 1 for young adults (MTV or Channel V, maybe?).

All existing channels being broadcasted by ABS-CBN (Channel 2, Studio 23, GEM TV, NBN) will also be broadcasting in digital. So that would give you a total 9 digital channels once DTV gets approved by the NTC.

This is great news, in my opinion. Our Asian cousins Japan, China and South Korea are all using digital TV. So are the United States, Australia and Spain. I am pointing this out because majority of the soaps/dramas we love to watch come from these countries. And their soaps/dramas have quite the international following – and I believe that this is because their shows, when uploaded online, are very clear and enjoyable to watch, so bored people from all over the world can easily get addicted.

On the other hand, Philippines shows, even those that are fun to watch, look very amateurish when uploaded on the Net. They’re grainy, full of static, dark, the sounds aren’t good. When I watch an uploaded Filipino movie or drama, I always feel that strain to get a clearer picture. Which totally distracts me from the plot or characters of the show.

With DTV, I am hoping we get better clarity and easier uploads to the Internet. I’m sure this may raise issues of piracy in the long-term, just like what the entertainment industry in South Korea / US is experiencing, but in my opinion the availability of Internet downloads is quite important to these shows. They get free publicity, and they can even market their products internationally. I know a lot of Asian countries buy a lot of the products marketed by the South Korean dramas. And that’s in part to the active international community of Korean drama lovers.

Plus, it’s additional publicity to the country as a whole. Who here hasn’t wanted to visit South Korea, Taiwan or Japan after getting addicted to one of their shows? Admit it, you’ve thought about it. In fact, in the Philippines, there are travel tours dedicated to JPpp/KPop culture. There are exercise routines in Fitness First designed around JPop/KPop music. This digital TV industry is a win-win! And I for one am definitely glad the Philippines is jumping ship.

Instead of the usual Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays greetings this year, I got mostly cryptic messages such as “Bro, Ikaw ang Star”. Huh? Who’s Bro? Turns out it’s in reference to a newly created Filipino Christmas song created by ABS-CBN, the Philippines’ Kapamilya Network.

The video below stars more than 300 ABS-CBN personalities, including artists, TV anchors, hosts and others. The lyrics for “Bro, Ikaw Ang Star ng Pasko” were written by ABS-CBN Creative Communication Management Head, Robert Labayen, while its music was composed by Marcus and Amber Davis.

Watch the “Bro, Ikaw ang Star ng Pasko” video below.

And here are the lyrics.

Bro Ikaw ang Star ng Pasko Lyrics
(ABS-CBN Kapamilya artists)

Kung kailan pinakamadilim
Ang mga tala ay mas nagniningning
Gaano man kakapal ang ulap
Sa likod nito ay may liwanag

Ang liwanag na ito
Nasa ‘ting lahat
Mas sinag ang bawat pusong bukas
Sa init ng mga yakap
Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat

Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Tayo ang ilaw sa madilim na daan
Pagkakapit bisig ngayon higpitan
Dumaan man sa malakas na alon
Lahat tayo’s makakaahon

Ang liwanag na ito
Nasa ‘ting lahat
Mas sinag ang bawat pusong bukas
Sa init ng mga yakap
Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat

Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Kikislap ang pag-asa
Kahit kanino man
Dahil ikaw Bro, dahil ikaw Bro
Dahil ikaw Bro
Ang star ng pasko

Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Dahil ikaw Bro, dahil ikaw Bro
Dahil ikaw Bro
Ang star ng pasko!
