Top 5 youtube Discoveries

I am a fan of Top 5 Lists and of YouTube.com as well. Ever since it's debut six years ago it revolutionize video sharing and made ordinary people to make their own home movies as well. Being a YouTube addict I have made it my in demand TV. Here are the wonderful things (Top 5) I have found while exploring this website.

1.Bollywood
Gossip shows, talk shows especially the witty and funny Coffee with Karan and even movies divided into ten parts with subtitles, as a curious fellow on this huge and prolific movie making industry it's a gold mine. And I don't have to search the torrents for downloads!

2. How to make Mexican food
I go crazy over Mexican cuisine from nachos to chimichangas, you name it, I'll eat it twice. Since it is easier to make a dish via visual and auditory instructions instead of reading recipes, any ambitious person attempting to pull off a feat of preparing an authentic Mexican feast, don't fret mi amigo, it's just a click away and you can watch it all over and over again until you can get the perfect taste!

3. Funny or Die
Droll and laugh out loud skits that are intelligent for a person full of humor or to anyone who just wants a loud guffaw at the end of a bad day, this channel will never disappoint. You can see here James Franco, Topher Grace, Mila Kunis, Neil Patrick Harris, Zach Galfianakis and many more famous faces making a fool out of themselves gamely.

4. Pinoy soap operas and old TV shows
From the original Mara Clara to horror ratings topper !Oka Tokat (remember this TV show which frightened a lot of kids back then) and even old episodes of Kris Aquino's now defunct Oprah inspired talk show, it's all here. And there is no excuse to miss out on the latest episodes of the hottest teleseryes in the air - Imortal, Mara Clara, Mutya and Green Rose. It's uploaded and updated!

5. One Hit Wonders of the 90s.
Since MTV is no longer broad casted in our digital cable box and MYX is currently flooded with K Pop tunes, YouTube has a broad collection of obscure videos that were once overplayed a decade or more ago in MTV Asia. Remember Ultra, 5ive, Anggun, Spin Doctors, among others they are all in YouTube for nostalgia's sake.

Honorable Mention: Miss Universe Pageants
If you are big fan or gearing up for a Trivia game on this category, this site has amazingly a vast amount of videos from the National Costumes down to the coronation which goes as far as the 1970s.

I hope that YouTube.com will always be free. Or I'll go into a Major Clinical Depression.

The First Two Months

Sheesh. I did promise to post at least one blog entry every week this year. But during the first two months of the year circumstances have prevented me too - I have been very busy - I know, very original but I really was busy but it did not mean that those two months haven't been great. Let's just say that the good times is still rolling.

1.) Sinulog 2011

Though it will never top Sinulog 2009 as the best Sinulog ever - The Med Girls Gone Wild Sinulog, however it was epic (for the lack of adjectives but still applies) in its own way. It has made a distinct mark in my frontal left side brains. It was alcohol, paint, barbecue, rain, Festival Queens, parade and getting crazy in the rain. It was also Jo's first Sinulog since like the early 90s so it was monumental as this is her pseudo kinda going away party before being thrown back to reality. I recommend that attending the Sinulog Festival in your twenties should be in every Filipino's bucket list. It's that awesome.

2.) OB-Gyne Rotation
I was really dreading it but it turned out really okay and it was a total learning experience. It was the ultimate test of endurance and determination that I was able to extend my patience and acquire more perseverance. Thank you very much to my team of residents for being very accommodating and approachable.. I salute you guys for choosing such specialty as your careers because honestly it is a land mine infested country! Not to mention the amount and consistency of the body fluids too.

3.) 20somethings birth
My friends and I have always wanted form our own team and join Cebu Trivia Nights. So we finally did summon the courage and joined and during our first time we placed second. This was then followed by more first place finishes and it has become a weekly thing for us. We call our team the 20somethings since we are all in our twenties.

4.) Cebu Trivia Nights
I am so becoming attached to this weekly event that it has made me a home buddy most of the time for the rest of the week and I look forward to answering and learning new things every Tuesday at The Joker's Arms with the 20somethings and every Wednesdays at Alejandro's with Group 12. Because of this I got to meet a lot of interesting people from all over Cebu City, the Philippines and the rest of the world who are also geeks at heart.

5.) Manila vs. Cebu
I am still high from Group 12's comeback from behind upset win during the culminating event for the one year anniversary of Cebu Trivia Nights. Because of this we have been featured on the paper and will be seen on TV.

And in between duty days, internal pelvic examinations, biweekly Trivia wars I am learning and loving life! Let's rock and roll!
