Arnel Pineda and the Pambansang Awit

March 17th, 2010 by admin


Journey front man Arnel Pineda made a boo-boo when he sang the Pambansang Awit in his own way at the Manny Pacquaio-Joshua Clottey fight. The National Historical Institute brought the matter to public attention and then Arnel reacted. On TV, he apologized but rather sarcastically, because he said that he is sorry that he did [...]

Pacquiao Wins Over Clottey

March 14th, 2010 by admin


More on this.
Updated, March 15, 2010:
Sorry for the delay. I got really busy and did not have time to write.
So well anyway, this is really an update of the Pacquiao-Clottey fight story that I started last Sunday. Manny Pacquaio, the Filipino boxing champ, toppled Joshua Clottey in 12 rounds. I have not completely watched the [...]

Shamu Kills Trainer

February 26th, 2010 by admin


Shamu is the affectionate name for all the killer whales in Sea World, either in Orlando, Florida or in San Diego, California. And ever since they were introduced in the parks, they have not really seriously hurt their trainers. Not until recently.
I have been to Sea World in Orlando and I have personally witnessed the [...]

Winter Olympics Saves February

February 17th, 2010 by admin


For sports fans, no sports coverage on TV is just plain boring. And many people are very thankful that there is the Winter Olympics this February because there are many exciting sporting events on ice. I love the events! I have been watching the coverage on Solar Sports, though not continuously, but I am entertained.
But [...]

February 14th, 2010 by admin


Oh how I would love to be in Vancouver right now.
I just watched the Ladies Freestyle Skiing on Solar Sports and boy, how I loved the way they ski. I forgot who the US contestant was, but she was amazing. These girls are really ski masters!
I have experienced winter in the United States once, New [...]

February 14th, 2010 by admin


Well, there it is. Melai Cantiveros is the big winner of this season’s Pinoy Big Brother. Congratulations to you and we all know that you will have a career as a comedy actress after this. I am pretty sure that you will become at par with the nation’s best, like Ai Ai dela Alas and [...]

Manny Villar and JocJoc Bolante

February 10th, 2010 by admin


Whaaat???
This turn of events is really disheartening, if not a real clear sign of something boiling in Manny Villar’s candidacy. At first I receive a text message that Villar is actually a bet and supported by GMA.
Now, he is an ally of JocJoc Bolante who is running for governor of Capiz. First of all, the [...]

Bangon Pilipinas Proclamation Rally

February 10th, 2010 by admin


Bangon Pilipinas standard bearer Bro. Eddie Villanueva and his vice-presidentiable, former SEC Chair Perfecto Yasay, I think the perfect tandem to run the country’s affairs. Ok by now, you all probably get the point that I support Bro. Eddie. And for a good cause.
I really like the word play in the phrase “Eddie Ako.” It [...]

Another High School Shooting

February 7th, 2010 by admin


Well there is another shooting in the United States.
It involved a 9th grade student who is 14 years old. Imagine that. Where did the suspect get a gun? The incident happened at the Discovery Middle School and the victim is said to be in a critical condition.
I am a mother. I feel bad when [...]

Wondering about Earthquakes

February 5th, 2010 by admin


When I was in California for a month several years back, I wondered about earthquakes. I knew that they happened in the area. And true enough, in the middle of my trip, a mild earthquake (at least in their standards) hit a town that was just several kilometers from where I was! We did not [...]

The Visayan Daily Star reported, “Based on the autopsy report of Cong, Vicete had hematomas on his head, there was bleeding in his brain and had [...]

Privilege Speech of Manny Villar

February 2nd, 2010 by admin


In the privilege speech accorded to Senator Manny Villar in the Senate hearing for the C5 Extension case prior to the decision, he seems really exasperated with the subject already. After his short privilege speech where he continues to maintain that he did nothing wrong and he did not pocket the P200 million interjection in [...]
