Introducing China's new replacement for Google-- Goojje!

I'm sure many of you have already heard the announcement from Google, that they are considering to leave China due to cyber attacks against them they claim that is originating from China. What will happen if Google really leaves? Fear not China, Goojje is here to the rescue!


Goojje.... W T F.


In case you are not familiar with that blue paw with the "J" in it, that blue paw is actually taken from Baidu, China's #1 search engine. Could Goojje is the love child between Google and Baidu? LOL. China, you guys have gone TOO FAR! I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last straw, causing Google to permenently leave China.

Check out the site. It is at http://goojje.com/

Vancouver has the BEST CHINESE FOOD IN THE WORLD

According to an article from Conde Nast Magazine's February edition, Vancouver has the BEST CHINESE FOOD IN THE WORLD. What?! Vancouver's Chinese food even beats Hong Kong, Taiwan and China? Lol, take that motherland!

Check out the article:

Canada Wins Chinese Gold

by Mark Schatzker

Vancouver may be hosting the WInter Olympics, but it also seems to triumph in dumpling devouring. Over 38 meals in 12 restaurants, our indefatigable writer beholds the thrill of noodle pulling. (Warning: Don't read this on an empty stomach)

Forget about dumpling hunting in San Francisco. Cancel that pilgrimage to Flushing, Queens, for fish ball soup. If it's Chinese food you're after, pack your chopsticks for Vancouver—and say a silent thanks to geopolitics as your plane lands. It was 1997's repatriation of Hong Kong that began the mass influx of Chinese to British Columbia's lower mainland, a migration which continues to this day, fueled in part by Canada's immigrant-friendly policies. Today, almost one in five of Vancouver's two million residents is ethnically Chinese.

Combine those demographics with the city's legendary seafood and you have the recipe for an outsize number of extremely good Cantonese, Shanghainese, and Szechuan restaurants. According to local Chinese food critic and writer Stephanie Yuen—who was born in Hong Kong and has eaten extensively there, in mainland China, and in Taiwan—Vancouver is home to the best Chinese food in the world. Period. Perhaps that explains why visitors from Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou have started showing up in Vancouver just to eat the food they so love. Maybe it's time you did likewise.

Joe Flizzow - Do it Duit MV

Joe Flizzow - President

My sister sent me this link a couple of days ago. She's starring in Joe Flizzow's new music video Do it Duit. The music video was sponsored by the Johor Tourism Ministry and was shot in Pulau Rawa and the Johor Golf Club. The guys from Kartel Records and as well as Sheikh Heikel, a Singaporean MC, made a cameo appearance. Check it out!

Jin says he is NOT going to battle Dizaster

So Jin says in this video entitled Closure that he is NOT going to battle Dizaster after all, thus bringing a closure to this episode. Rats! And I was really looking forward to this battle too! Too bad it won't happen. This is definitely disappointing news for hip hop fans. On the flip side, I'm happy that Jin is in a new chapter in his life and things are working well for him over in Hong Kong.

Yangyang Cheng teaches the song "I'm A Little Teapot"

The teacher in this clip Yangyang Cheng, is really cute isn't she? I can't tell if this clip was meant for kids or if it was meant for lonely old Chinese men. Is it just me or does she sound kinda naughty whenever she says "I'm a little teapot"? I don't why she does that. There's nothing sexy at all about teapots nor tipping them over and pouring them out (or however that metaphor works for that matter). Maybe Yangyang thinks the song is some sort of sexual innuendo, or maybe she's just trying to seduce men into buying DVDs. This clip almost Gravure-like, you know, seemingly perverted but not really, lol.

Yangyang also teaches Chinese to English speakers. You can see more of her videos on her YouTube channel called sloppycheng (no I didn't make up that name, but I wish I did).

Filipina Shawty (MTV) by Greedy & Andez

Title: Filipina Shawty (Like Mine)
Artist: Greedy feat. Andez (Mid Nasty)
Website: http://www.myspace.com/imsogreedy

Mid Nasty members includes: Greedy, Andez, Fry, Early, Cloud and Kurt. Mid Nasty is one of the winners of MTV Emerge (http://www.mtvemerge.com), showcased by the Philippine Department of Tourism and Jeepney Music by Apl.de.ap's (of Black Eyed Peas).

According to MTV Emerge website:

MTV Emerge is a platform for unsigned music talent in the Philippines to showcase their work and to be given an opportunity to win a one-year recording contract with Jeepney Music.

Collaborating with the Department of Tourism (DOT) and Jeepney Music, MTV Emerge not only aims to hunt for the hottest unsigned music talent from all genres of music (indie, rock, hip-hop, R&B, metal, solo artists, DJs, etc), it is also an online music community where new music from the Philippines can be discovered.

Source: http://www.mtvemerge.com/about/

Based on his myspace info:

"Greedy, a young talented rapper from Dumaguete City, Oriental Negros, Philippines. Catering filipino flow hiphop music. The name "Greedy" was originally taken from his hood name "Hakug" a term used by the people in his neighborhood to describe hustlin youngsters. Despite being in the slum and hard struggles in the streets, this Filipino rapper performs with a positive outlook in life. He believes that despite being in a 3rd world country, he can make it out and achieve whatever he wants with the right grinding. Being aware of his surroundings, Greedy also strives to influence the youth to be responsible to the community and have the right perspective in life. He believes that music is a great instrument to dissolve the cultural boundaries of the world and that music itself, is more powerful than any artillery created. His music is inspired by what his surroundings present and put them on the positive groove of things. "Being in the ghetto doesn't mean you have to spend everyday mourning about where you are, instead, find a way to get out of the slum." Other than his talent in music, he also presents talent in photography, graphic designing, videography, painting & video editing."

Another winner is DRP or Dirty Room Production with their song titled "Huminga (Breathe)".

Website: http://www.myspace.com/thedirtyroom

You can check their entry at: http://mtvemerge.com/browse/view.php?key=C7D5DF559B2D5E18

According to the personal info stated by DRP on MTV EMERGE:

"It’s a sad fact that local hip hop is almost synonymous with the word “JOLOGS” (Jologs is a Filipino Slang and Street Term for someone who acts like punks from the slum area, squatter or street.) or “BADUY” (Baduy is another Filipino Slang and Street Term for someone who is uncool, not in style, low class, often synonymous with Jologs.) here in the Philippines. DRP Music means to change this with the unmistakable sound and flavor of FILIPINO HIP HOP and RnB that are equal to the likes of international artists in our genre."
