New Ones and Vets Victorious on Second Round GR Supra GT Cup Asia Philippines

Results are in from the recent Second Round GR Supra GT Cup Asia Philippines conducted by Toyota Motors Philippines. This is their first e-Motorsports program and top players for Sporting Class and Promotional Class donned their racegears once again to see who gets the podium finish in this year's outing.

Hundreds of them participated this year and burned rubber at the Autopolis International Racing Course virtually driving Toyota's very own GR Supra. They had to go through rigorous qualifying rounds and do the finals heat for them to be able to see who remains supreme! 

In the end, they got a mix of old and new faces. Some unexpected, some proving the world is really round. The Sporting Class was won by Luis Moreno while Second and Third place was taken by Miguel San Mateo and Terence Lallave of whom are all new to this game. The Promotional Class was conquered by JB Cruz and Second and Third Place went to Lance Guballa and Lance Padilla. 

This coming September 26, they will be having a third and final round where Round 2 points will get 1.5 multipliers while double points will be done on the latter. Registration is now open over at Toyota.com.ph/gtcup and if they get overall championship from their scores, they'll have a chance to represent the country in the Asian Regional Championships on October. There will also be a third champ chosen from celebs vs media class which will happen this September too. Join their community here for more updates on Facebook.

Stay tuned for more updates here, results will be posted soon!

CONGRATS naman! ^_^

The Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) and the Board of Nursing has released the Nursing Board Examination results and from the 88, 649 that took the exam last November 39, 455 lucky nurses have passed. Topping the list was Jovie Ann Alawas Decoyna from Baguio Central University that got a whopping 89% rating. Xavier University of Cagayan de Oro City was the top school this year that had more passing students because only 5 out of 341who took the board exam did not pass and got an average of 99% as their passing rate.

Oathtaking ceremonies of these new nurses will be slated on April 6 and 7 at SMX Convention Center SM Mall of Asia. Other schools and regional oath taking schedules will have their own at the Board of Nursing Website www.bonphilippines.org. Decoyna who topped the exam said that this is the first time she took the test. At 24 she is the last daughter of a farmer and an OFW mother from Taiwan. Everyone at the College of Nursing and students of Baguio Central University were proud of Decoyna in this feat.Congratulations to my friend Leo who passed the exam as well, we are proud of yah!

US President Barack Obama : YES WE CAN!

See the blue states here that went all the way for President Barack Obama in the elections, no wonder he overwhelmingly won the elections! I was a skeptic this morning because when I was running on my treadmill, there were about 3 states being counted and it was showing McCain on the lead. I together with about 6 CNN anchors were asking "we never saw it this close". Then again, when I went home and had my bowl of oatmeal the results from other states came in and NEVER did I see McCain lead again. The CNN reporters even did analyze known Republican states were swinging to Obama at that time.

Since he already passed 270 (the magic number you need to win) they went ahead and celebrated in Chicago. There were about 125,00 supporters that frolicked a slightly cold evening in the windy city. Even Rev. Jessie Jackson was there to celebrate. Though the mood was ecstatic, when the speech came... it looked like Obama was calming everyone down instead of celebrating... I thought about that too... peoples expectations might have been a little too high. They need everyone's help in working for that "CHANGE" he promised in day 1 of his campaigns. I just wished he also mentioned Asia... I never heard him mention it in any of his speeches... to think he's even from Indonesia you know?! and btw, his middle name is Hussein I think... =/

Obama wins by a large margin, he only needed 270 to win but it looks like a whopping 338 here! ^_^ He is the first African American President of the United States of America

It's JUDGEMENT DAY! The US Elections 2008

Obama votes early (an hour and a half ago while I was making this post) and we all hope he gets the worm Lol

Today is the US elections where everyone is watching who will win the seat for the most big boned influential country in the world. I am still rooting for Obama, but McCain was pushing for an upset when I watched his political campaigns yesterday in CNN. Yeah I know I was busy trying to get some sleep because I had about 5 hours only that day. I still managed to get on the tube and listen to their last strategies on states that are undecided. McCain went for those states but Obama on the other hand went onto those that are known republican territories. A new strategy huh?!

Not only that, Obama was tired I think and called that place a different one... I guess fatigue and traveling different counties in the last 48 hours have caught up to him. I hope after he votes today he just sits back at home and relax, then just wait for the results which would probably be counted in a few hours.

By the way, there are some that say Obama should have gone to the funeral of Jennifer Hudson's family. Yeah she's from the same City that Obama resides, tough they probably have understood the campaign is at its end and I mean why should he go there if Oprah and the rest of Hollywood already are there. Early data already indicates Obama winning but there are some undecided states they still have to battle for. You need 270 to win the election and I suppose every poll say Obama has the upper hand. Here's a non official forecast:

I'm sure if he had the chance he would have come. Goodluck in Florida! ^_^
