an outstanding collaboration of We Are the World by the world’s famous singers. debuted today, here is the official video of the song. truly inspirational!
here is the official press release from MTV:
LOS ANGELES — The energy was electric Monday night (February 1) at Henson Studios as more than 80 of music’s biggest stars gathered for a charity remake of “We Are the World” in support of Haitian earthquake relief.
“I feel like a kid in a candy store,” Wyclef Jean said, speaking to the press about the idea of remaking such an iconic song, which is getting production help from RedOne and Will.I.Am. “What’s bigger than a contribution is that you lend your voice,” the Haitian native said earlier in the day to his peers while trying to inspire them during the session, which began around 3 p.m. and lasted well into the night.
Among the voices in the 81-member choir were Pink, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Nick Jonas, LL Cool J, Robin Thicke, Celine Dion, Akon, Rob Thomas, Wyclef, Jeff Bridges, Vince Vaughn, Barbra Streisand, Jordin Sparks, Good Charlotte’s Madden brothers, Tony Bennett, Josh Groban, Snoop Dogg, Justin Bieber, Jennifer Hudson, Keri Hilson, Jamie Foxx, Tyrese, Katharine McPhee, Sean Garrett, Will.I.Am, Carlos Santana, Melanie Fiona, Enrique Iglesias, Toni Braxton, Jason Mraz, Miley Cyrus, Busta Rhymes, Nicole Scherzinger, Nicole Richie, Usher, Julianne Hough, Raphael Saadiq, Zac Brown, India.Arie, “American Idol” judge Randy Jackson, Musiq Soulchild, Heart’s Ann and Nancy Wilson, Fonzworth Bentley, Kid Cudi, Iyaz, Bizzy Bone, Nipsey Hussle, the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson and Al Jardine, Trey Songz, Faith Evans, Mya and Gladys Knight. (Head here for a full list of “We Are the World” participants.)
Kanye, wearing a red jacket with sparkling gold crisscross accents, stood center in the front row, between Wyclef and Hudson.
Among the soloists whose sessions were screened for journalists at press time were Bieber, Dion and Groban. Lil Wayne also came out and humbly noted that he recorded the solo originally sung by Bob Dylan.
The inspirational lyrics were laid down over a track that had a more modern Southern hip-hop bounce to it. The recording session took place almost 25 years to the day since the original song for African famine relief was recorded.
In a statement, Jones said, “Twenty five years ago, the entertainment industry showed the power of community to help our fellow man when we recorded ‘We Are The World’ to bring relief to those suffering from famine in Ethiopia. And while the need to assistant Africa continues, today the country of Haiti is suffering immeasurably from the destruction due to the recent earthquake and is in immediate need of relief that will last long after the television cameras have left. As artists, we have joined together on this 25th anniversary and in the spirit of ‘We Are The World’ to help meet that need.”
“The experience was out of this world,” said Bieber, who sang Lionel Richie’s original opening line. The world premiere of the song’s video will air during NBC’s coverage of the opening ceremony of the Vancouver Winter Olympics on Friday, February 12.
According to a press release from the organizers, both the new version of “We Are the World” and the accompanying video will be available for purchase through a consortium of on-line and retail partners, with all proceeds going directly to the earthquake-relief efforts in Haiti through the We Are The World Foundation, a newly created not-for-profit organization made up of board members Quincy Jones, Lionel Richie, Wyclef Jean, Paul Haggis, Randy Phillips and Ambassador Louis Moreno of the Inter-American Development Bank.
Khan Sovann Borey is my newest student in class and this morning I got impressed on him. From the first time I’ve met him, I knew that he is not an ordinary student. He is more upbeat than his classmates and he is also an instant favourite within the boys. Borey also speaks good English meaning he can converse well, his grammar may not be perfect but it is forgivable.
Today, he came to school with a big plastic of books, when I asked him what are those for he immediately replied that those are for Neath and Houy (female classmates who also likes reading), he’s going to lend them the books so they can read at home. Curiously, I asked to see his collection and I am amazed with the kinds of stories he like to read. The 24 books he brought comprises of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books, Charles Dickens’ stories, Edgar Allan Poe’s novels, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, and many more not to count the rest he has at home! I can’t believe he had finished them all. He also admits that there are some phrases that he didn’t understand due to his poor English but after practicing every day he gradually improved his skills.
He likes to watch movies as well, and his faves are Jaws, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond. For me, he is impressive! This is my first time to meet a student who loves reading like him, let’s admit that most are very lazy and don’t even want to bother reading the cover of a simple novel, adding to the fact that most Khmers are not exposed in reading especially in English. I have lots of students who are inclined in comics but never story books. Borey is extraordinary. I hope that he’ll continue with his good habits and improve more in his studies.
I am proud to be his teacher.
Time flew so fast, I’ve barely noticed that January is almost over and yet tomorrow is the 1st of Feb! meaning it’s love month again, yey!
Going back to January, I think it’s been a wonderful month to me, a good kick start of the year I would say. Work is fine, family is doing good, been able to buy the stuffs I want and need, and gained a lot of extra pounds (which I think is not good). Those things are what I am grateful to have in life. Now that February is on it’s track, I wonder what will it bring to me…anything will be OK, ’cause I know that there’s so much things to worry for the day than for tomorrow so I’d better keep hoping for the best, right?
Speaking of love month, do you know that February has the shortest days in the months of the calendar? Having only 28 days in common years, it is the only month of the year that can pass without a single full moon. It is also the only month of the calendar that once every six years and twice every 11 years, will have only four full 7-day weeks. Where the first day of the month starts on a Sunday and the last day ends on a Saturday, this was observed in 2009 and can be traced back 11 years to 1998, another 11 years back to 1987, and 6 years back to 1981; and so on twice 11 years consecutively and once six years either forward into the future or back into the past, unless the pattern is broken by a skipped leap year, but no leap year has been skipped since 1900 and no others will be skipped until 2100. Interesting!
For those who were born in February, your birth flower is Viola and your birthstone is amethyst 
By the way, Chinese New Year is going to be celebrated on the same day of St. Valentine’s Day and I am keeping my fingers crossed that we’ll not have classes at school, I am desperately dying for a cool vacay even just to spend time alone in the pool, hahaha!
New Year new game!
To keep myself out of boredom (is it really boring or I am just saying it to make an excuse to do something else? lols) I downloaded Plants vs Zombies a couple of nights ago. It was my sister Chele who mentioned and got addicted with this game first. She works with Dell in the Philippines as a Tech Support (where she gets good dimes every payday:P) and right after work she plays this game all by herself! She even mentioned that she only sleeps for a few hours so she can spend time playing, hahaha!
So what’s the game all about ey?
All you need to do is to plant as many peashooters and other kinds of plants to destroy the zombies coming on your way. Of course there are different kinds of armour that you can use and it all depends on the kind of zombies you’re going to destroy. Plants vs Zombies also has different types of games to play. It has the main game, adventure, mini-games, and puzzles. The last three parts can only be played if you’ve gained enough experience from the main game, so you’d better play well to enjoy other parts of it
Since I only have limited time to play this (hello, I go to work from Mon-Fri and does many chores at house), I try to keep things out of my way so no one can disturb me, hahaha! I even get nervouswhen I am being attacked big time by the opponents! I can feel the blood rushing through my face when I am beaten, hahaha!
At school, my students got hooked as well, a good number of them are playing it at home and whenever they get together, they always talk about the levels and experience they gained. One rule I have given to them which I hope they’re doing is to finish all their homework first before getting down with the zombies…it’s difficult to be blamed after their addiction.
To play, download the full version using torrent. Pop Cap is selling it and I’ve been a cheeky one not to buy follow this link and enjoy the game Cheers!
“And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years!”
No words can express how happy I am on turning 27. I used to be afraid of getting old but then I realised that everybody is going there…old, and why do I have to be scared when all I have to do is enjoy the years I have in my life while I am still alive, right?
Through the years, I’ve encountered many things that contributed on making myself strong and looking back to all of them – I do not have any regrets
Thank you to all the family, friends, students, and colleagues who greeted me today. You’ve uplifted me to the highest level by simply remembering my big day! I am blessed to enjoy another fruitful year and thus I look forward to age gracefully and be more mature in every aspect of life that I am dealing with. I love you all! Mwah!!!
Drop the last year in the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go – Brooks Atkinson
I didn’t make a good start of my 2009, I guess. The beginning of the year was a mess. I wasn’t able to configure the things that I have to prioritize and settle plus there were a lot of confusions on things I want to do.
But I do not have any regrets
I am the one who always have an open mind and positive outlook in life, though in times I feel tired and stressed. I am the one who think there’s a solution in every problem. And yes I believe that every suffering has an ending, so I continue with all my perspectives.
Now that 2009 is bidding farewell, I want to look back to the things that made me a better person
1. Pong – you have given me much much love I could have received and I am so thankful for that. I hope that our friendship and love will continue to grow as we grow old together.
2. Andrea, Aaron & Aiken – you have pushed my sanity to its limits and yet I’m still alive! You’re all my trophies in life and there is nothing that can change my love for all of you
3. My Family – we’ve been tested through thick and thin, and we proved that we can surpass the trials that comes on our way.
4. Old Bosses – you have taught me to be stronger and better in my craft. The lessons I have learned which brought tears some time will never be forgotten.
5. New Bosses – thank you for the brand new experiences that you are giving me. I am loving the opportunities and challenges I’m facing at school.
6. Friends – I don’t have many but I have loyal ones! To all of you, I know God has better plans for all of us on the year ahead.
As 2010 is fast approaching, let us give ourselves a chance to grab change and enhance our personalities by creating a positive living. Let us learn to accept defeat and learn to stand up from our mistakes. Begin to love ourselves before we can give love to others and last, make the most of what we can each day, for we do not know until when we are gonna stay in this world.
I don’t have any New Year’s resolution, do I need one?
Christmas could have been better if my family is complete in celebrating the birth of our dear Lord Jesus Christ. I am missing them all especially my nephew Ala. Since we are far and busy working, we fancied ourselves by sending love messages to one another and wished that the new year ahead will bring more blessings to each and everyone.
For the past 3 days, we’ve attended various parties and these made us busy cooking foods for friends. I felt honored to impart my knowledge in cooking and share it with others. With this, I am always keeping my fingers crossed that they liked them all and nobody suffered from food poisoning, hahaha!
We started our day by greeting one another at house and since Nestle’s got work today (their company don’t acknowledge Christmas as a holiday) the kids waited for him to arrive home for lunch to receive and open the gifts! I could see from their faces how excited they were to open their gifts but they have no choice but to wait…wait…and…wait!
Then daddy arrived. Yey! Wearing the best smiles they could have, off they went to the Christmas tree to find their names on the gifts After a while, we took photos to seal the season and said thanks for the great year that passed.
At 6pm, we went to the Dionco’s for our “Exchange Gift ng mga Superstars” event where gifts rained like cats and dogs! It’s potluck so we brought our share of fried chicken, yang chow and stir fried veggies I think I could feed a good number of people with what I prepared because it’s quite a lot for us. Nevertheless, everybody enjoyed it.
It’s the exchange gift that everybody is waiting for. As soon as we started, the participants round together to see what others got from their secret Santa. I received a very nice teamug from Robin which came with a pack of tea! It’ll be more convenient for me now to make my tea especially at school Thanks Obin! I got many presents from friends and they’re all awesome! The thought of them remembering me made me happy and this gave me an impression that I am somehow important to them, geez cheesy!
I am truly grateful for all the blessings that my family received, thankful to all the friends that we have through thick and thin and special thanks to my kids and Pong for making this season a wonderful event. I had a blast!
P.S.

In just a few days, we will be celebrating Christmas. It’s been my 5th Christmas away from home and I am kinda forgetting how it feels like when you get to celebrate it with all of your family and friends. Nevertheless, I am still grateful for having my family here with me and though we are far away from our relatives and other love ones, we still wish them a happy Christmas and a prosperous year ahead of them.
I am not yet done with my Christmas shopping and gift wrapping, there will be 3 parties this week and I will be cooking foods for friends. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be on time to prepare everything before Christmas hits the clock.
