Fra Lippo Lippi’s Per Sorensen is Master of Imperfection


International singer-songwriter Per Sorensen, the voice behind the bestselling Norwegian music export Fra Lippo Lippi, has released his new solo album Master of Imperfection, which includes his new recordings of Fra Lippo Lippi’s classics Later and Beauty and Madness.


The album has Loneliness as his first single and a cover of James Taylor’s Fire and Rain.
Master of Imperfection highlights the endearing vulnerability to Per’s voice, where melancholia pours down to the cracks of these tracks.

Per adds, “In 1986, I wrote the song Beauty and Madness with lyricist Rune Kristoffersen for the upcoming Fra Lippo Lippi album Light and Shade (1987). You're either too young to remember, or too old, for that matter. Anyway, I love that song, so I re-recorded it for this album. Hope you like it, too!”

Master of Imperfection includes ten songs, which, hopefully, will lift music fans’ souls for some forty `minutes.

Incidentally, Per Sorensen will be having a two-day concert here in the Philippines with the "Tears For Fears" duo this August 10 and 11 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. 




"Master of Imperfection" Tracklist:

1.         I Hurt You

2.         Tell Me Once

3.         Will I Recognize

4.         Beauty and Madness

5.         Later

6.         The Truth Behind Our Lies

7.         Loneliness

9.         The Waiting Game

9.         It Could Be Nice

10.       Fire and Rain

"Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone." - Michael Jackson


Kathleen S. Magee and Dr. William P. Magee

It has been thirty wonderful and amazing years since the kind-hearted couple Dr. William P. Magee Jr., a plastic surgeon and his wife, Kathleen S. Magee, a registered nurse, participated in an event that would forever change their lives - and the lives of thousands of children around the world. They were co-founders of Operation Smile, an international children's medical charity that has originated here in our very own country, the Philippines, specifically in Naga City, Camarines Sur, Bicol region. 





In 1982, the Magees together with their group of medical volunteers set foot here in the Philippines for the first time to repair children's cleft lips ans cleft palates. Haven't been able to treat all the patients and families that had come before them, they felt the need and inspired them to make a promise to return to help more children thus, Operation Smile was born. 



Today, Operation Smile has grown, conducting surgical missions in over 60 countries with a global network of more than 5,000 volunteers from 80 countries. It has provided over two million comprehensive health care evaluations and over 200,000 free surgeries for children and young adults born with clefts, of which more than 24,000 are Filipinos. 


Mr. Joaquin Quintos 

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Operation Smile International, it has once again returned to the Philippines via the program "Journey Home." “It is indeed a very significant move for OSI (Operation Smile International) to celebrate the organization’s 30th year here in the Philippines. We are privileged and honored to host ‘The Journey Home’,” says Joaquin Quintos, chairman of Operation Smile Philippines (OSP), the in-country organization of OSI. 


Mr. Roberto Manzano speaking during the event


Operation Smile’s “The Journey Home” is a series of medical missions that seeks to change a child’s life by conducting free surgery to repair cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities. “It is touching how the mother organization OSl continues to give back to the country where it began. It is truly a fitting tribute to the country and the Filipinos are equally grateful for this,” says Roberto Manzano, OSP president and executive director.

"It's both our responsibility and delight to come together and thank the Filipinos for inspiring the birth of Operation Smile,” says Dr. Magee, co-founder and executive chairman of Operation Smile, Inc., the mother organization headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, USA. 

The program "Journey Home" was launched just recently at the Mandarin Oriental, Manila. it was a well-attended event that known personalities, business tycoons, political figures, medical professionals, commoners and media people gathered and united to join and express full support to this humble program in order to promote the mission and vision that the Operation Smile International had been gearing for. 

Ms. Shamcey Supsup 


Ms. Janine Mari Tugonon


Chadleen Lacdo-o 


Present in the said event were Ms. Universe 2011 3rd runner-up Shamcey Supsup, reigning Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2012 Janine Mari Tugonon and Chadleen Lacdo-o, former cleft palate patient of Operation Smile turned singer and had been supporting the foundation in its various projects and activities in and out of the country.

Also present in the said momentous event was Mr. Ramon R. Isberto who is the concurrent Public Affairs Head of thePhilippines’ biggest telecommunications firm, the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT), and its wholly-owned wireless subsidiary, Smart Communications Inc. 


We've viewed a very heartfelt AVP during the event which I'd like to share with all of you and it's entitled

"A Smile Changes Everything"


Here's another one, this is a short AVP but it also conveys truthful and very touching message...


"Beggar" 



This young and very innocent kid in the "Beggar" video was Angel 


And this is Angel today after her miraculous 45-minutes operation. Angel was such a sweet baby.


I've signed my vow of support to the foundation hoping that by this simple blog of mine, could reach and touch the hearts of many and extend their helping hand to those in need. In that way, we'll be able to change more lives... we can do this, we can change the world. 


It will take as little as 45 minutes to create a smile...
and change someone's life forever.




"Operation Smile" is also made possible by the following generous sponsors:
