"Arjohn, next time I do my own show in the Philippines, I would love for you to come and perform with me!," Charice said via her official Twitter account.
Charice also asked her fans (Chasters) to search for Arjohn's contact info.
"Let's find him, Chasters. Please find his FB, or whatever so we can contact him :)," Charice tweeted.
In her other tweets, it was revealed that Chasters were able to do the task Charice asked them and that the concert will be happening before the year ends.
Meanwhile, Arjohn made it to the Twitter Top Trends after guesting on Vice Ganda's show "Gandang Gabi Vice" last night where he performed Justin Bieber's "Baby" and Bugoy Drillon's "Paano Na Kaya."
Known in Pampanga as the singing flute vendor, Arjohn shared on the show that he makes the flutes he sells himself. The street kid also said he sells his flutes at 20 pesos each and that his earnings go to his family.

“He grabbed them, squeezed them then back-punched them. I wouldn’t have reacted that way if he didn’t do it, it was like a punch, it’s the worst feeling.” Taulava told the Philippine Star.
Taulava and Jing were both ejected from the game because of the incident.
After the game, Taulava took time in updating his newly created Twitter page with a statement of apology.
"Would like to apologize to everybody that watched the game today for losing my cool. No excuses for my actions, and I’m sorry," Taulava tweeted.
The Philippines won the said game against Malaysia, 86-68.

Arisxandra Libantino, the 9 year-old Filipina who wowed the judges of Britain's Got Talent with her audition, has been axed from the show.
The young Pinay diva who belted out "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" by Jennifer Hudson, got the judges' 3 "yes's" during her audition. Her story was even published in major news websites in UK even before the show aired its premier episode.
However, it has now been reported that despite all the buzz surrounding Arisxandra, the producers of the show have decided to cut her from their final 40. Her audition video was not even shown. According to reports, it was because of time constraints in the series.
Arisxandra Libantino is a daughter of two Filipinos working in London, Elma and Aristotle, who both originally from Nueva Ecija in the Philippines.
Check out below a video of Arisxandra Libantino sing Charice's "A Note To God" on Youtube:
Manny Pacquiao's HP commercial is making waves online!
A scap of Manny Pacquiao's HP Commercial
The video of the pound-for-pound boxing king's first biggest brand endorsement on Youtube has reached more than 160,000 views since it was uploaded by youtuber "bhopisback" last May 31.
In the thirty-seconder TV ad of HP Veer 4G, said to be the smallest 4G smartphone in the US, Pacman talks about his workout routine and why he got himself a "small phone."
Here are Pacquiao's lines on the new HP TVC:
"I run ten miles every morning, do two-thousand set-ups a day, eat seven-thousand calories and train for eight weeks straight,
"So, why did I get a small phone?,
"Well, if there's one thing I know, little guys can pack a punch!"
Other uploads of Manny Pacquiao's commercial are generating a number of views as well.
Singer Katy Perry recently launched the music video of her song "ET" which features rapper Kanye West.
On this video, Katy Perry's makeup transformed her into an extraterrestrial with reptilian eyes, blue liptick, and floating around in Viktor & Rolf gown.
In an MTV interview, Katy Perry shared how hard the shoot was for her.
"It was, like, five and six hours, each makeup look," Perry said. "It was hard for me! It was really a patience thing for me on this video. But, you know, it's like when you're doing a film. Sometimes you have to do prosthetics, and you have to get really old or turn into an animal or a monster — and that's kind of what this process was."
However, people can't help comparing the brand new music video of Katy Perry to that of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way".
The LA times reportedly said the video was "unoriginal".
"What she does do well is to absorb everything she sees around her and then present it in an ultra-shiny package that never takes itself too seriously."
Check out music video below and judge for yourself:

Let me add the lyrics here as well.
Katy Perry - ET Lyrics
You're so hypnotizing Could you be the devil? Could you be an angel? Your touch magnetizing Feels like I am floating, leaves my body glowing
They say be afraid You're not like the others, futuristic lover Different DNA They don't understand you
You're from a whole other world A different dimension You open my eyes And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me Infect me with your love and Fill me with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me Wanna be a victim Ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien Your touch so foreign It's supernatural Extraterrestrial
You're so supersonic Wanna feel your powers, stun me with your lasers Your kiss is cosmic Every move is magic
You're from a whole other world A different dimension You open my eyes And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me Infect me with your love and Fill me with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me Wanna be a victim Ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien Your touch so foreign It's supernatural Extraterrestrial
This is transcendental On another level Boy, you're my lucky star
I wanna walk on your wavelength And be there when you vibrate For you I'll risk it all
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me Infect me with your love and Fill me with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me Wanna be a victim Ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien Your touch so foreign It's supernatural Extraterrestrial, extraterrestrial, extraterrestrial
Boy, you're an alien Your touch so foreign It's supernatural Extraterrestrial

Ten-year old Filipino-Canadian Youtube sensation Maria Aragon is now again invading the news after the Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper visited her home and sang a duet with her.
Courtesy of Youtube here's a video of Maria Aragon and Prime Minister Harper's duet of the song "Imagine" by John Lennon.
Its life-size 3D poster caught my attention when I strolled around a mall earlier today. The lady cast looked gorgeous with all those fit outfits and crazy guns. I almost took some cash from my wallet to pay for a ticket and watch the movie right away. But then I remembered I'm on a tight budget. Lol.

So I was left watching its trailer on Youtube. I find it cool eh. Hmmmm... I might save some moolah this week to watch it.
I am talking about the movie "Sucker Punch". Check out its trailer below:
"Sucker Punch" Movie Trailer | Video courtesy of Youtube
The dream scene reminds me of "Inception". It looks interesting eh.
The uploader also added the following info about the movie:
Genre: Action | Fantasy Cast: Jon Hamm, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Abbie Cornish Director: Zack Snyder Writers: Zack Snyder, Steve Shibuya Studio: Warner Brothers
Plot: Close your eyes. Open your mind. You will be unprepared.
"Sucker Punch" is an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what's real and what is imaginary.
She has been locked away against her will, but Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four other young girls—the outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), the street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), the fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung) and the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish)—to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorski (Carla Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm).
Led by Babydoll, the girls engage in fantastical warfare against everything from samurais to serpents, with a virtual arsenal at their disposal. Together, they must decide what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive. But with the help of a Wise Man (Scott Glenn), their unbelievable journey—if they succeed—will set them free.
For more details about the movie, you can check its IMDB page HERE.
The video of the 6 year-old boy macho dancing on "Willing Willie" below has been the center of criticisms, recently. The issue is that Jan Jan "was allowed to be publicly humiliated on the Filipino entertainment show "Willing Willie" in exchange for money", according to a post in a petition site.
Some people also aired their views on the matter on the microblogging site, Twitter.
According to "@iamhappyamy" she found it sickening tweeting, "a kid gyrating like a macho dancer, willie making fun of him, the audience enjoying – truly sickening!"
"Willie didn't learn the word 'polite' when he was a kid. He thinks he can toy with the 'mass' by dangling them money," "@richard_carpio" said on Twitter.
Noypi's Notes:
*** I previously posted this clip with the comment that I found it funny. As I said, I have not watched this episode. The video only shows the dancing part which I found funny. I did not even notice the boy was crying and Willie was not saying so much either.
I recently saw the entire interview and Willie was indeed making fun of the kid in the earlier part of the interview.

The only Filipino-American left and the youngest contestant in American Idol Season 10 Thia Megia once again sang a ballad during the "performance night" of the remaining 12 contestants. She sang a song from her birth year, the 1995 Vanessa Williams hit "Color of the Wind".

Judge Randy Jackson said he find it boring and he felt like he was watching beauty pageant.
"There was nothing special, unique about it. You have the talent. Maybe a different kind of song next time. Dig a little deeper, take some chances cause you can sing. You have a big voice but it's only so safe and it was so boring tonight,” he said.
Thia defended herself by explaining that she chose the song because it fits to "what's going on in the world today."
Judge Jennifer Lopez also commented on Thia's vibrato saying, "I'm not sure if it's nervousness or that's the quality of your vibrato. Either way I don't wanna think about that. So I feel that needs a little bit of working on too. So push out of the box then come out next week and kill it.”
We will find out later tonight if these comments from the judges would send15-year old Thia Megia home.
