Inauguration of US President Barack Obama

While writing this post I am watching the live coverage of FOX NEWS for this big and special event in America, Inauguration 2009 President Barack Obama. With his election as the first African American president, “change really has come to America.” Racism is one issue during the election among others. But I guess right now, Americans voted for somebody they hope and pray will lead them towards prosperity again. In this kind of occasion, I believe everyone around the world should rejoice and share with the happiness of Americans and wish them all the luck for the success of their new president.

Seeing those people who took time and patiently waited for the swearing in of their 44^th president, I can’t help but get excited too and share with their sentiments that this president will lead them in the right path.

Charice @ Good Morning America

Charice made a guest performance in America’s top rating show “Good Morning America.” I was in the kitchen when I heard over the news on TV the said performance of Charice who sang Whitney Houston chart-toppers "I Have Nothing" and "I Will Always Love You" for the show.

Her appearance on the show is to promote David Foster's new CD-DVD "Hitman: David Foster & Friends" wherein Charice and other several performers included in the album like Kenny G., Michael Buble, Josh Groban, Brian McKnight, Katharine McPhee, Andrea Bocelli and Dion. She stays in the US for 3 months for the recording of her first international album which is set to release early on 2009.

From small time singing contest to nationwide TV and now international performances, Charice with her handler David Foster will ultimately make her way to international singing career and stardom and will always be one of Philippines pride.

John McCain acceptance speech on CNN

VS.

I was able to watch part of Senator John McCain’s acceptance speech yesterday on CNN, but unfortunately missed out the speech of the African American Junior Senator Barack Obama.

I understand the importance of the coming election in the USA for all Americans considering the economic status and other concerns of the country. The speech, for me, I think it goes well except for some disturbances from some who opposed the war on Iraq who escaped the guards. But the good Senator where able to continue and manage to exit disturbances with jokes. I appreciate the parts of his speech where he mentioned about the goodness of her wife, the bravery of her mother and the qualifications of his running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Other information on his accomplishments, stands on issues, and future plans gave him numerous standing ovations from the waving crowd.

I hope nothing but the best for the Americans and that they maybe able to choose the right person to lead their country. God bless America!!!
