"Pacman's" revenge next time around!

It's been almost days now since Manny Paquiao lost his bout with Eric Morales and still people here in the Philippines are still talking about it. Maybe it was fixed. Who knows really but the thing is I guess if, he, Manny really wanted to, he could've KO'd his opponent. But speculations still on what really happened still going the rounds of manila streets and coffee shops and afficionados.

Anyway, there will be a nex time and by then... he'll win!

Journal entry: Free To Wear Sunscreen

Tomorrow will be Palm Sunday. Officially, the start of Jesus's cavalry to death and back again through resurrection. It also signals a long week of lenten season culminating into Easter Sunday. But with Filipinos along with observing the Holy Week, it's also long holiday, so to speak; Going to the beach, long road trips to the provinces, going out of country and other places bonds the family together and presents an opportunity to get out of the office and enjoy a long weekend but (knowing Filipinos) without negating their Catholic obligations to what Holyweek is really all about.

The poem Free To Wear Sunscreen they say was an internet chain letter and made to appear to be Kurt Vonnegut's work when infact with was a Chicago Tribune columnist's speech and part of a Baz Lurhmann movie/musical

And again to the hospital he goes

For the second time in a row, the Pope was rushed to the hospital once more because of the recurrence of the flu.

The whole Catholic entity be filled with void if something grave were to happen to the Pope. For so long he's been at the helm of the Catholicism and morality. Of what is proper and what people of all walks of life need to do in order to be good in the eyes of God. Also he has gone through a lot and seen history made with different nations. Despite some not fully agreeing with his beliefs and teaching, sermons and rules (I think), he has done wonders for the whole Christian community. Get welll soon..again to the Pope

Get well soon Pope

Pope John Paul II was admitted to the hospital.

He's been battling with flu and I hope he recovers prettys soon.

Capturing the day the wave strucked

This is gruesome. But along with that, some heroes emerged saving lives.

Guilty Pleasures, sinful delights

Since I like eating junkfood and such. This site review and rates snack food/ junk foods. Chocolate bars and chips and all the fattening things you can chew one and enjoy. Right now I think I'm craving for something like Aero Mint Bar from nestle and the Reese's milk chocolate dipped cookies. These fattening delicious junkies making me salivate.. Hehehe. I wanna have some too!

Wild, wicked and wanton

I'm cold. This weather we're having right now seems to make my skin all tingly. Normally December up to February would be cold months. I dunno if it's just me or the weather actually. I suppose it's partly due my red hell days and tummy aches. It makes me want to get away from anything that emits cold air. Talk about weirdness! Haha. Read all

The world's richest man speaks out.

Bills Gates granted interview to one of my favorite tech blogs Gizmodo

And from CNET news a perspective of a more kinder, gentler media friendly Bill Gates.

Throughout the '90s--when tech was booming and tech CEOs lined up to wax eloquent about their latest business plans or products and to jab the competition. It was fun to listen. Ellison talked up the Network Computer, Schmidtmapped out his plan to turn around Novell, and Bezos stressed "get big fast." Jobs was a magazine cover boy. Gates, meanwhile, struggled to define his image and endured pies in the face when he showed up in public. While the media was making celebrities out of dot.com CEOs and other "Davids," Goliath Microsoft was portrayed as the "evil empire" and out of touch. Read more

The tech news seems to be all about Firefox, Apple, browser wars and others. At least a Bill Gates interview is different one.

An "Apple" for the Poor!

Apple unveiling cheaper products at the Macworld Expo.

For those seeking to have one but cannot afford. Gee, how thoughtful! And I say that with a hint of sarcasm.

Apple Computer Inc. introduced a cut-rate computer the size of a paperback and a tiny iPod that starts at $99 but holds far fewer songs than the company's hard drive-based music players.

Ah, okay..it holds fewer songs! Like only 120 songs! The iPod shuffle lacks a display.Designed not to play songs purchased from online music stores that compete with Apple's iTunes.

And there's even mac budget desktop! Which I dunno what it can do because smaller than even some standalone external computer drives, they lack a monitor, mouse and keyboard. The 40-gigabyte Mac mini will cost $499, an 80-gigabyte model $599.

Great! cheaper apple, yeah! As if $499 is cheap! It's still big bucks! It lacks feature!...gah! Just buy the expensive ones bcause I know some people wouldn't mind spending if it has all the features and is much better.

The spread of web design influence

From Jefrrry Zeldman: Web design: A decade under the influence

If you're into web designing. Making layouts and such.

Hi tech new year gadgets

Ah, the wonders of technology even comes to clothing! Now you can have any images and convert it to embroidered patters. The Innov-is 4000D will do that for you. Heh. Homemakers out there will like the techie thing . Oh and Gizmodo says it's one "bad ass sewing machine." Hahaha. View product here.

And for gaming how about some Nintendogs. Lets see if it becomes a hit.

The curse of the new year. A Hollywood breakup!

I wasn't gonna blog about it but what the heck. Why not. We've been inundated with tsunami stories anyhow. And so....it's the end for Brad and Jen as they head to splitsville town. Awww. But putting my onw two cents worth of blogging thoughts. I think Gywneth and Brad was a better match and couple! Haha. Yeah I'm very showbiz you know!

Video blogging the tsunami disaster

The power of the internet and blogs proven again. Tsunami video blogs are a hit! Many of videos from the horrible tsunami disaster came from amatuers be it locals or tourists vacationing when disaster struck. ( many news organizations are now paying tons of dollars even for just a few minutes for their videos). It didn't matter if it were captured through cam phone either. It's been quite a success some you could watch for free but others do charge fo them now.

Web blogs and the bloggers proved that it's not just mainstream media who can offer many viewers information and videos and those wants to see for themselves what really transpired that awful day when wave of water crashed down and swallowed up many lives. Many Asian bloggers are recounting their tales nows and [video]Blogging about their ordeal.

This is funny

Better get the Portable Cellular Phone Booth invention for you rude folks out there. Ha! Who knows it just might be the latest gadget craze. It's too squared and bulky though. Yay. Haha.

Link through Gizmodo

On the brink of starvation, a 'Miracle' helicopter flew by

Link via Manila Times thru AFP it's the story of the 'Miracle' helicopter

I think it's good that that happened because most of the Aid Agencies are now in place in the most hardest hit nations and areas by the horrible tsunamis. Donations of money and from government, corpoeration and rich individuals are flowing but it's the logistics that bt the American that needed now. They're the onese whose got the capacity to bring in most of the relief goods with the use of their fleets, cargo planes, and soldiers to distribute immediate needs of the many victims most especially the basic needs such as clean drinking water and food and medicines and medical needs.
