janechua29: really
valis2001us: I live about 40 miles south of Seattle, Washington, USA.
I am currently spending quite a bit of time at my father's house in
Wenatchee (120 miles east of Seattle). He is ill
janechua29: ok
janechua29: nice music
valis2001us: I see that you " RECRUIT AND SUPPLY BANDS TO:
UAE,INDIA,BURMA,THAILAND,INDONISIA,KOREA,CHINA,JAPAN AND MALAYSIA" I
have a friend who lives in UAE. He is not crazy about living there.
valis2001us: I am very excited about doing music with these guys. It's
the first song we've finished. It's amazing what you can do in a
living room with a computer now. To my ears it sounds like it could
have come out of a studio
janechua29: very nice music
janechua29: do you plan to do more?
valis2001us: I asked if you knew Leo Flores because he claims he helps
manage Kitchie Nadal and
Barbie Almabis and Aliya Parcs - I don't know if I believe him!
valis2001us: We have some more stuff in progess now... my hope is that
we can just keep coming out with the stuff...
janechua29: Leo Flores?
janechua29: from where?
valis2001us: this is what he says about himself: Hello Everyone,
My name is Leo Flores from Manila, Philippines. I am working to market
to the international community the beautiful and talented singer named
Aliya Parcs. To know more about her please checkout her Yahoo Group.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Aliya_Parcs_Rulz/
I would be willing to arrange for her to sing and interpret the songs
you will compose. Hope to see you on her Yahoo Group. Thanks.
Leo Flores
Manager
Flores Consulting
valis2001us: and also this:
valis2001us: I used to live and work in the United States and does
travel to and fro the US. My last employment is with
Enron. Since everything should be based on trust, you
can call the toll free number of Enron and my complete
name is Leoncio Flores. You can verify the
authenticity of my identity.
I used to live in Detroit, San Francisco and last in
Houston. I'm an IT Project Manager.
I'm really interested in marketing Aliya in the
international market though she might not become
popular in the United States, her exposure there will
be lloked upon in the Philippines as an achievement
for the Filipino people.
Say for example Jasmine Trias, she finished third in
American Idol last year and though she lives in Hawaii
and has Filipino bloodline, it made the country proud.
valis2001us: That is what I plan for Aliya. Even if she just makes
some Gigs in some popular local clubs or bars in your
city, it could be something that we can say in the
Philippines as an achievement. Your country is the
standard bar for performers.
By the way American songs in the Philippines are big
hots all the time. So when someday Aliya can
collaborate with song writers in the US, your songs
could be played overseas as well as there. We plan to
have Aliya sing to the Filipino community in America
also.
Hope this could be a start of an Artistic Partnership.
Thanks and have a nice day.

Mobile no. +63 916 622 9540
janechua29: do they have company name?
valis2001us: It says at the end "Leo Flores
Manager
Flores counsulting" - it looks like he's a one person shop. that's
why I doubt his story - these women seem well known in the
phillipines.
janechua29:
valis2001us: But you know, you are talking to me right now, and I can
see that you are for real, so maybe he is too
janechua29: we have lots of pretty and good singers fr phil
valis2001us: yes. Leo says that to make any kind of appearance in the
US is good publicity for them. I was scouting around for places
here... but he stopped writing

Increasingly media from their home cultures is available here.

Pop Music
MTV Promotes Asian Pop Music in U.S.
Listen to this story... by Laura Sydell
Morning Edition, July 13, 2005 · MTV launches three Asian pop music
channels aimed at U.S. Asians and South Asians. The U.S. music
industry is increasingly promoting Asian musicians to young Asian
Americans. And Asian American kids are turning on their non-Asian
friends to the music.
valis2001us: I don't want to get too political, but I think the US is
in a period of decline. Things are very vibrant in Korea,
Phillipines, etc and smart people (like me!) are interested in what's
going on in those places...
janechua29:
janechua29: how old are you dear?
valis2001us: music, industry, technology - I try to keep up. However,
I am limited to one language. I'm not proud of that

yard, but almost. and you?

page! they are hopping all over the place
janechua29: hahaha
valis2001us: Well, Jane, it does appear that perhaps you instant
messaged me by accident, but now I feel that you are my friend. Is
there anything I can do for you? You are striking out on an
independent course. I really admire that. Will we chat again, or is
this one of those ships passing in the night kind of things?
