Lots of crazy stuff happening lately. Here's but a few of them: A Chinese news anchor blurted on TV that the Philippines belongs to China. Who knew? I must have slept through all my history classes. The website of the Philippine News Agency was hacked by the Chinese. Wow, I didn't even know they had a website! Chinese travel agencies have suspended travel packages to the Philippines. I didn't know travel packages are also subject to disciplinary action. Better behave. * * * * * * * * * * The impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona has just resumed last Monday. It's reality TV at its finest once again! The President struggled with a coughing fit during his speech at the opening ceremonies of the  Palarong Pambansa . Sorry, smoker's cough.

If you've been watching The Voice , you probably know who Serra Hill is. She was the last contestant to make it through the blind auditions and therefore complete Christina Aguilera's team. Well, the "sassy diva" also got past the battle rounds and is now headed for the live shows. Serra Hill But the moment I saw her, she reminded me so much of someone, a local celebrity here in the Philippines...

Without a doubt there are a lot of good singers on The Voice , but this classically-trained guy who sings with an operatic voice caught my attention. Sure Chris Mann of Team Xtina has this great voice but I also noticed he was all suited-up during the blind auditions. Fast forward to the battle round, he wore a suit jacket to rehearsals. Rehearsals, baby, rehearsals! I thought, okay, this certainly is how he dresses. During the battle round, however, it wasn't a suit that he wore but a leather jacket, a purple tie and maroon pants. So the guy isn't strictly the suit-and-tie type after all. I thought it played a part in his trying to heed his coach's advice to loosen up. Nevertheless, he looked good.

Whatever people have to say about Cee Lo Green's flirty attitude towards gorgeous contestants on The Voice , My Bibe and I are very much entertained by his antics. Every time he speaks, he just seems like this slouching, stoned guy who speaks slowly and in a cool, low register. And it's always a pleasure to see him in clips stroking his furry little friend, a Persian cat he named Purrfect , like both of them are stoned. Cats are awesome!
