SPCS: Feast
After the Amazing Race-like Reward Challenge, the remaining 10 castaways are treated in a feast where the food at the table are cooked by their loved-ones/friends. Aira Bermudez’s mom cooked bulalo for her, Ahron Villena’s dad cooked shrimp, Moi Marcampo’s culinary classmate cooked laing for her, and so on.
Most notable is Akihiro Sato’s fellow Brazilian model in Manila, Fabio Ide, cooking a Brazilian dish for his friend.
In a confessional, Aki says he is quite afraid because he had never seen Fabio cook anything before.
After the feast, the castaways are told to go to their new camp. Immediately the next day, Michelle Madrigal starts talking to Solenn Heussaff, obviously trying to get her alliance. But as Solenn says in a confessional, her strategy is to just say yes to whoever tries to get her alliance.
True as it is, she acted the same when Ervic Vijandre talked to her.
Aubrey Miles, on the other hand, tells Moi, Aki, and Solenn that they have to win the next Immunity Challenge and not let Jon Hall or Michelle get the Immunity Necklace. Jon still has an Immunity Bracelet and if he wins the challenge, he could easily give the bracelet to Michelle so the two of them would be safe.

"Breaking Dawn" Script is "Amazing!"
The highly anticipated last installment of the Twilight franchise, Breaking Dawn, is described as “amazing” by two of the movie’s stars, Jackson Rathbone and Nikki Reed.
The last book, made into two movies, consists of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan’s marriage as well as Bella’s giving birth to a “hybrid” baby. There’s also going to be a war, and three sex scenes?
Oops! But considering they got married and had a baby, I suppose it’s rational enough to show the two making love.
Whatever, I’m sure Twilight fans are already dying to see the part 1 of the last title in the series.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 is scheduled to be shown on November 18, 2011.

Charice and Ne-Yo - “Earth Song”
Watch Charice and Ne-Yo do a Michael Jackson tribute with “Earth Song” during the “One and Only Hitman David Foster and Friends” concert in Las Vegas last October 15, 2010.
Charice’s powerful voice gave so much impact to the song even if she was only on for about a minute.
Meanwhile, in the same concert, Charice got a little confused towards the end of her “All By Myself” performance. She wasn’t aware that the Hitman removed 4 bars on that part of the song. It wasn’t so noticeable, though a real fan (who’s perhaps so used to hearing Charice sing that particular song) noticed it and tweeted Charice about the confusion.
Charice tweeted back: “DavidF didn’t tell me that he removed 4 bars at the last part of the song. I understand. He’s a pretty busy Hitman! :)”
Watch the said performance below.
Now this is the arrangement that they used to do:
