Maria Aragon Launches her first Self-titled Album under Star Records + Give Away

Most of us already know who Maria Aragon is and to those who don't uhm...... try searching her on YouTube.

When she sang her cover of born this way

Maria Aragon has one of those talents people would be envious of.  I for one, can't sing even if my life depended on it. Her Fame all started when Lady Gaga tweeted her born this way cover.  Now, her video has over 40 million views.  She was also featured in one of Ellen DeGeneres's show which boosted her fame even more. Eventually, record companies started to take notice of her new found fame.  Perhaps, she can rise to stardom just as Charice Pempengco or Justin Beiber who were YouTube sensations.

So after months of preparation and decision making, she's finally ready to release her first self-titled album under Star Records.

Here are some of her songs. (see video)  Don't you just love her sweet and melodic voice?=)

Captain America is my patriotic idol

Captain America named Steve Rogers used to be just an ordinary human in poor shape.  Because of his will and determination to serve his country, he was brave enough to agree to be tested in a top-secret defense project and become the subject for the Super Soldier Serum.  

Once he underwent physical transformation and became strong, he fought for his country.  He was ready for combat just with his mighty shield.  I just love it when he makes his brave stance with his shield.  I could feel his courage to go against anything.  

Captain America is my 

Intelligent 

• He is a good tactician and strategist.  He is not only powerful but he uses his mind in his missions.

Determined 

• He is brave and determined.  He goes to his battles with courage and determination.

Outstanding

• He is an outstanding fighter who is excellent with martial arts and can aim perfectly with his shield.

Leader

• He is a good leader and commander. 

So when I heard a Captain America movie will soon to be shown entitled "Captain America – The First Avenger"  I was so excited.  Check out the trailer below.  Really cool!

Nerf Games and Contest Toys R' Us Event at Robinson's Midtown Atrium

Last Sunday, my family and I went to Robinson's Midtown and saw a lot of Nerf games set up.  There were a lot of kids and adults lining up just to try.  Of course, I wouldn't miss it out too!  I love shooting games! Remember my post about Lazer Xtreme? (see separate entry)

We tried the toughest one.  If you hit 4 targets you get a special prize.  During our entire stay, no one got the prize!  Though I saw a small kid hit 2 when I couldn't even hit at least 1.  The gun had a short range so you have to shoot it at the right angle to get the projectile to enter the holes.  I also found the pressure to be a bit inconsistent.  Some of my shots were fast some were slow.

The other games were too crowded by little kids so I didn't bother to try. I just watched at how cool Nerf models are.  Wish there were toys like that when I was little.  It lets you aim and shoot and yet it was harmless.

I didn't know how to use a Nerf that looks like a riffle so the small boy behind me thought me how.  It has an air pump so it was powerful that it was very easy to aim at the center for 100 points.  To bad this game didn't have a prize eh?
