I Know What Boys Like

The House BunnyThe track I chose for these two weeks is Katherine McPhee’s single I Know What Boys Like, a cover produced for The House Bunny (also referred to as I Know What Boys Like) movie.

This movie was released in August produced by Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions.

Anna Faris stars as Shelley, an orphan who becomes and lives her perfect life as a Playboy Bunny, until she turns twenty seven. The day after her twenty seventh birthday, Shelley received a letter which is believed to be from Hugh Hefner, asking her to leave the mansion with her belongings in two hours. Later on the film shows you that the letter wasn’t really written by Hugh Hefner but by a jealous Playboy Bunny. The film continues by showing how Shelley manages to live  and how she deals with, a hard life outside her perfect life at the Playboy Mansion…

Some celebrities that star in this move are Hugh Hefner, Hefner’s Playboy Bunnies, Anna Faris (from My Super Ex-Girlfriend) and Katherine McPhee (American Idol), Colin Hanks (son of the actor Tom Hanks) and Rumor Willis (daughter of actors Bruce Willis and Demi Moore).

An official soundtrack wasn’t planned to be realesed. Katherine McPhee’s track, was released on iTunes this July, and it was covered from the 1980s I Know What Boys Like track, released by The Waitresses in 1982.

Who is Mama Afrika?

Mama Afrika - Pata Pata

Today, on the news i heard that Miriam Makeba, who is also known as Mama Afrika, died yesterday at the age of 76. She died of a heart attack, after performing in a concert in Italy. Although i know about many music and artists of the past, i did not know who is Mama Afrika until i found a song which i and most probably you too heard many times. The song is called Pata Pata and as i was planning to begin a weekly or monthly post about past and present music tracks, I will begin with this song as a tribute to Mama Afrika…

“They deceive us, but they need us”

TracesLand.com Finally, it happened! About a month ago, DjToby and Kristina Casolani released their new track called “Traces“, and every week it climbed a place in Malta’s Top 10 charts. Yesterday, it got to No.1 on the Malta’s Top 10 charts and today it got No.10 on Bay’s Top 40 charts.

Traces was composed and produced by DjToby & Kristina Casolani, taken from Sandro Vella’s concept for the forthcoming Maltese TV drama TRACESLAND, which is produced by rollDdice and will be shown on OneTV in January 2009.

The track can be downloaded for FREE either from the drama series’ website (TRACESLAND.com with lyrics) or from Kristina Casolani’s website (KristinaCasolani.com).

About TRACESLAND:

“A new drama series, with a twist, that will be aired from January 2009 on local television.The script is original and is written by Sandro Vella, while the artistic direction is in the good hands of Lawrence Buontempo…

Carefully hand-picked a good balance of established actors while also giving the opportunity to new local talent…

TRACESLAND is targeted towards a particular crowd… it’s a psychological thriller, with a good dose of reality, and sometimes, to a certain extent, it evolves into a documentary, with real life stories, that happen around us all the time, even on this tiny rock, while at the same time, the plot is intertwined into the realms of fiction.(rollDdice)

What you think about Traces? Do you think it will remain No.1 on the Maltese Charts?

Coping with Flu – Sore Throat

Halls Mentholyptus Extra StrongSore throat is a very common symptom nowadays. It begins as a dry and mild sore throat, which usually one feels only in recurring mornings, and then it either stops or gets worse every morning leading to other worse stages. One cannot really detect if the sore throat is a temporary one or the one that gets worse, that is why one has to treat it at the first sign of sore throat.

At the first sign of sore throat, I usually take Halls Mentholyptus Extra Strong cough drops. When I took these drops form the very first mild sign, the soreness lasted from 1 to 5 days, but when I took these drops a day or more after the very first sign, these drops did not work well alone. There is a limit on how many Halls drops one can take per day.  An adult can take up to 1 packet per day.

To cure a sore throat 100%, there are other treatments that help:

Natural Treatment:

  • take fruit juices and other liquids often
  • reduce dairy foods
  • suck zinc lozenges
  • rest voice
  • stay in a warm atmosphere


Herbal Treatment:
Make tinctures for gargling from, or use cooled infusions of one or more of the following herbs:

  • Agrimony
  • Sage (antiseptic)
  • Thyme (antiseptic)
  • Myrrh
  • Liquorice sticks
  • Marshmallow leaf


Aromatherapy Treatment:

  • steam inhalations of Benzoin, Lavander or Thyme essential oil
  • taking half a teaspoon of honey with 1drop of Lemon essential oil.

Yahoo!’s … Thriller???

Thriller title cardAs you might have noticed, some websites like to decorate their logo with a theme that has to do with the event of the day or week. Yesterday it was Halloween, and I noticed that the animation created by Yahoo, on their logo, was taken from Michael Jackson’s Thriller music video. The Yahoo! animation was zombie dancing the same dance moves as the zombies in Thriller.

Below, you can take a look at both the animation (if it won’t be changed or deleted by Yahoo) and a clip from the music video, to understand what I am talking about.
