Oprah Winfrey was the speaker at this morning’s Stanford Commencement Ceremony for the class of ’08. She had 3 good pieces of advice to share with the class and visitors and they are definitely worth passing along!
Oprah on the Cardinal Scoreboard
Feelings
Follow your gut and go with what feels like the right thing to do.
Failure
Don’t dwell on failure but rather ask “what is there to teach me from this?“.
Finding Happiness
To really find happiness you should stand for something larger than yourself.
Oprah shared lots of great stories around her points including one the one about her 1st news job where they wanted her to change her name to Susy. We all know how that one turned out. Her commencement speech was inspirational and judging by the crowds reaction her message really connected.

Kris Lawrence participated last weekend at the Pinoy Musik Festival performing a handful of soulful hits from top artist like Chris Brown and Usher. Kris not only has the voice but the dance moves to go with it! It was obvious by the crowds reaction that he is on the way to being a Pinoy favorite.
Kris’s talent should take him far and I look forward to seeing lots more him in the future. When you watch him perform you can’t help being in the mood to get out of your chair and dance! Be on the watch for this rising star from the Philippines.
Last weekend Sam Milby was a hit at the 2nd Annual Pinoy Musik Festival with special guest MYMP, Kris Lawrence and more! Check out pictures of Sam Milby on our Flickr page www.flickr.com/aryty and watch for more Sam Milby photos and pics from the Musik Festival this week.

I was watching an episode from Bravo’s Top Chef Season 4 today and saw Dale, a Pinoy sous chef at Buddakan who came out on top in a tough competition.
Dale is a 1st generation Fil-Am from Chicago who now lives in NY. He does a great job representing Pinoy pride as he mentions Filipino culture and the influence it has had on his interest in cooking and cuisine. His favorite dish? Kare-kare, the ox tail stew with peanut sauce. mmmm sarap!
I’m sure Filipino’s will be eagerly watching and giving Dale their support as he competes to be the next Top Chef! How cool would it be if he went back to the Philippines once the competition was finished to open a restaurant. It would be a hit without a doubt!
Mark your calenders to attend the Pinoy Musik Festival and enjoy Fil-AM sensation Sam Milby performing live! The 1st annual Pinoy Musik Fetival will be held May 17th and 18th at the Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus New Jersey.
The Festival will have 2 days of live performances from Sam Milby, MYMP, Kris Lawrence and comedy with Pork Chop. The event will also feature a bandfest showcase, songwriting competition and a karaoke competition. Grabe!
