Better You music video by David Choi

Singer David Choi released his latest music video for his song “Better You“. The video is backed by Skunk Juice earbuds features oversized flowers that grow from the beats of the music. (Reminds us of Say It Again by Marie Digby and Goodnight Company by Jane Lui.) While David Choi plays the guitar, the lovely Regina Suh attends to the plants with her green musical thumb. If only flowers where that easy to grow. You can download the song on Better You - By My Side

Lyrics to Better You by David Choi

Truth is we dont know much
I dont know you
And you dont know me

We get so judgmental from the start
Saying hes like this and that
Behind my back

It takes some time to get to know me
And I understand, but sometimes I cant
Lets spend some time and you will see
Im just like you, and youre just like me

Just take your time and listen
Love, peace, and joy is my mission

I wonder what the world would be like
If we all just got along
There would be more happy songs
Wed be dancing all day long

I wonder if you talked to me
Would you see a better man
I sure hope thats what youd do
Cause I would see a better you

Sometimes I forget
There might be more
Maybe theyve been hurt
And I dont know

Being quick to judge
Is easy stuff
But to love
Sometimes its tough

Just take your time and listen
Make peace and love your mission

I wonder what the world would be like
If we all just got along
There would be more happy songs
Wed be dancing all day long

I wonder if you talked to me
Would you see a better man
I sure hope thats what youd do
Cause I would see a better you

Lyrics to Waiting by Manny Garcia

Love, what you been doin’?
Why did you go when,
When I really needed you to stay?
And love, when I think that you’ve found me
And I’m within your boundaries,
You just seem to want to go away

See, you walk right in and you go to my head
You leave just as fast and my heart breaks instead
And I want to run from you love,
But there’s no breaking free,
You’ve got this hold on me

Love, what are you doing to me?
I can’t play all your games
‘Cause they all end the same
With me always beggin’ you please not to go
Love, you know I’m ready this time
I’ve been here patiently
With my heart on my sleeve
Just waiting for you to come by

Oh, love, where are you hiding?
Or are you deciding
That I’m not too comfortable just yet?
But love, I’ll tell you that I am
My heart is in your hands
I ain’t gonna stop till you know that I am
Ready to…

Just a Friend music video by Jasmine V

Just a Friend music video by Jasmine V

Singer Jasmine V dropped the music video for her track “Just a Friend” off her “S(he) Be(lie)ve(d)” mixtape. The song from a female perspective is about a guy that doesn’t want to admit that there is more than a friendship between himself and the girl. A Justin Bieber looking person plays the guy who gets ignored by Jasmine V. Looks like payback. For reference, Jasmine V was in his Baby video and was in that infamous shot of Justin Bieber kissing her in the backseat of a car. You can download the song FREE here.

Lyrics to Just a Friend by Jasmine V

Yeah (x6)

Verse 1
Say what you want
do what you like
but we both know the truth
cant change the facts of you and I
but you still do what you do

Pre hook
Keep telling them stories
to her and ur homies
but that wouldnt make any sense

Hook
If I’m just a friend
if I’m just a friend
why do i know what your lips feel like
if I’m just a friend
then my camera must be telling lies
if I’m just a friend
then you must be crazy baby
if I’m just a friend
then you must just be crazy baby

Verse 2
Every night lit up my life
texting my phone non stop
where ever I go thats
where u are never apart to long

Pre hook

Hook

Bridge
You act like i don’t meet your standards
I’m not good enough to stand beside you beside you
i wish the best of luck to your girlfriend
probably been lying all about her to her too

Along the way he’ll make unlikely friends, fall in love with no-nonsense FPS hot shot, Jenny Matrix, and face powerful enemies – namely The Law, who vows to destroy Brian for good.

Will Brian’s dreams end before they’ve even started? Or will he pull it together and become the gamer he was born to be?

More about 236
236 is a perfect balance of different worlds. Their sound is unique, powerful, and haunting. They love to experiment with their music by adding hints of alternative, country, and rock. 236 is comprised of two singers, Michael Sing and Rally Adamos, They were separate entities doing vocals for extremely different genres. Michael, a trained opera singer was laying down perfectly executed, crisp sounds for house tracks. Rally, on the other hand took his raw, emotional vocals and began to record r&b music, and also had the the opportunity to work on a jingle. Through their musical chemistry, 236 was born. Rally and Michael are musical trailblazers, running with the opportunities they have now and always keeping their ultimate goal in plain sight.

The Learning by Ramona Diaz on PBS

One hundred years ago, American teachers established the English-speaking public school system of the Philippines. Now, in a striking turnabout, American schools are recruiting Filipino teachers. “The Learning” is the story of four Filipina women who reluctantly leave their families and schools to teach in Baltimore. With their increased salaries, they hope to transform their families’ lives back in their impoverished country. The documentary film follows these four Filipino teachers as they take their place on the frontline of the No Child Left Behind Act. Across the school year’s changing seasons, the film chronicles the sacrifices they make as they try to maintain a long-distance relationship with their children and families, and begin a new one with the mostly African-American students whose schooling is now entrusted to them. Their story is intensely personal, as each woman deals with the implications of her decision to come to the U.S., and fundamentally public, as they become part of the machinery of American education reform policy. The women bring idealistic visions of the teacher’s craft and of life in America, which soon collide with Baltimore’s tough realities.

Director Ramona Diaz is also working on her next project “Don’t Stop Believin’: Everyman’s Journey” about Arnel Pineda, the new lead singer of Journey.
