How about this news. Nothing surprising there. Government likes to use services of celebrities to promote something for their agencies or for other causes. Here in the Philippines it's practically thesame and often being done. The success rate though is somewhat so-so..but it hardly fails.

And the dream still continues
40 years ago Martin Luther King made his moving I Have Dream speech which was remarkable just like the man himself. There are many great speeches and this one ranks up high with the others.

Ooops there it is!
The MARS PLANET! I just looked outside up the sky and hell yeah, I saw something bright and red from a distant but is close enough to be seen within the eyes and of telescope. Nicee! Even for fleeting glance. In the meantimes, oops there it is...gone is the Monument of Ten Commandments..and people are protesting it seems.

The Filipino Language...
The words according to my tongue..read more?

So near and yet so far..

Mars glowed as bright as the moon But I dont see any BRIGHT RED MARS! I've been looking at night sky and all I could see is darkness(no pun, no fun). The sky trackers are excited :)

Will the agenda help Mr. Bush be re elected?
Hmm to early to tell but doesn't seem to look..good..eh? according NYTimes report (reg req'd) "compassionate conservative" agenda has fallen so far short of goals.

I wonder if the contenders here have Goals too..ehh compassionate ones too. Nah, questions should be what will President Arroyo's agenda for next year be? Haha, does anyone care!?!? I think other people have different ideas..eh agendas

Bye, Pete

The man who rarely showed much emotion on the court cried his brown eyes out.

Nothing. It's Pete Sampras bidding Adieu to everyone. If one likes tennis (like i do)..you'd like the blog. Right now I'm watching Asian hopeful Paradon Shrichahpan..it's time (us) Asians break through :) But Me wants A-ROD!:)

Rights vs Ethics

Read this. I think if that Ten Commandments Monument were placed in any building here, people would probably welcome and flock around it given the fact majority of us(Filipinos) are catholics and anything to do with religion is okay. And the news that a former priest and convicted child molester died..well, nobody's rejoicing but certainly nobody's crying about that either!

The question is..will it to any good?
The US wants more countries to send troops to Iraq. Dont even expect Asian countries to do so. There's enough terrorist problems within the region they've got to annihilate. Medical Missions is okay probably but..not like combat soldier thingies.. especially our own armed forces! Yayness..puhleeaze! They're having Internal problems as it is.

At least there's good news this weekend

Filipina Marilyn Manuel is alive and recuperating after that horrible bomb blast In Iraq. She was reported as one of the two Filipinos who died in the suicide attack against the UN.

Blah. I'm feeling sleepy already *yawns*. I wish I'd hear that familiar aol sound. My tummy hurts..no thanks to that monthly visitor form hell! Gosh, no need to elaborate Ithink . Ewww! I'm blogging off.

From the pc screen to the small screen
EBay on tv
San Francisco Chronicle reports
EBay Inc., the online auctioneer, wants to see if its popularity can translate to a bigger medium than the Internet: television....EBay views the show as a way to extend its brand and drive traffic to its Web sites, rather than make money directly from the show. "We're more concerned about building EBay," EBay spokesman Kevin Pursglove said.

Nothing wrong with that I think but..the website is like one of those "superstars off the net along with Yahoo, Amazon.com and others. People know about them already..well those who uses and surf the web regularly. Eh, like the people here will care if it's on the t.v or not! hahaha. Ack. Why the hell am I blogging about it? Hehe. Anyhow, whats the closest thing to EBay here? Bidshot I guess. Funny though..I've never been to their site.

No more Mr. Nice Guy

Pete Sampras is retiring. He will make it official come Monday at the start of the US OPEN. One less laidback guy in the world of tennis. He really is one of the best there is and I guess at 31 the mind is willing but the body isn't anymore (Different in the case of Agassi though). Why am I blogging about this..heck, I like Tennis! Yeah, Go Andy! Teehee :) Meanwhile another superstar, Kobe Bryant, is retiring ehh...in the courthouse...jail I think.

Well, I did a blogging warn about that SobigF virus couple of blogs below and the latest is it's spreading rapidly...yikes.

Remembering

Twenty years ago Ninoy Aquino was assasinated on this very day and from then on it inspired everyone to revolt against the system that killed Ninoy. People Power(which really started here in 83 and triggered off similar waves in Eastern Europe during late 80's) was the one thing that us Filipinos gave him in turn for giving us his life and legacy and the will and conviction to fight system of evilness.

Reading A Hero Lives On written by his sister Lupita Aquino Kashiwahara, probably sums it all up how this day should be remembered and the contribution of great man changed the Philippines.

Another new virus on the net
As if people aren't annoyed enough with last week's Worm, here comes a new virus called SobigF so beware of your emails and inboxes.

Yet another terrorist attack
Okay after tha terrorist car bomb attack yesterday in Iraq which I saw on CNN(while waiting for Six Feet Under on HBO) It's either/or the work by Al quaeda, Saddam's followers, Those muslims who harbors hatred for Americans and possibly by frustrated Iraquis. It seems terrorist attacks are always the news headlines.I guess until Americans continue to influence or meddle and support Israel there will always be bombings and attacks.

Ack, the rains keeps coming down..and the floods keeps being a hassle to commuters. Geez, it happens everytime. Anyway, just finished watching Lizzie Mc Guire earlier and even though Hillary"Lizzie" Duff is leaving the show, I think there would be reruns of it on the Disney Channel :). I mentioned in my journal that Gilmore Girls(Which I happen to like) is back on the tube pretty soon. Heh..talk about television without pity! :)

The perils of the job

The second Reuters camera man got killed by U.S forces in Iraq. Of course you remember the first one during the height of military campaign of US against Saddams Iraq. I'm sure there's an investigation.Reporters without Borders and Committee to protect Journalists will want to make sure what really happened. But yeah, the hazards of being in the media sometimes takes a toll on their job and their life. Eh..just ask(Tina Panganiban-Perez) a GMA-7 Reporter. Yay!

Threat of Terrorism..likely
I read the news that United States is highly likely to face another attack similar to September 11 within the next 12 months, a London-based research organization said on Sunday.

The U.S is the first and always the brunt of acts of terrorist crimes..and one hopes that NO repeat of what happened during the 9/11...will occur. Especially since the anniversary is just few weeks from now.
