Filipino Shows in International Emmy Awards

Piolo Pascual and Angel Locsin from LOBO

Yes you heard it right. I thought I was reading something from a tabloid too when my eyes passed by that part. Little did I know that it was true. Angel Locsin is now nominated for Best Actress for Lobo, while Kahit Isang Saglit (A time for us) with Carmen Soo and Jericho Rosales and Magdusa Ka of Katrina Halili and Dennis Trillo is nominated for Best Telenovela together with Brazil's India- A Love Story and France's Second Chance. It seems just awesome seeing Filipino flicks appearing before the world's best.

Angel Locsin's Best Actress category is no joke because she will be pitted against Mexico's Cecilia Suarez for Capadocia, British actress Julie Walters for A Short Stay In Switzerland (who also appeared in Harry Potter) and France's Emma de Caunes for Night Birds. This is just a big deal for Philippine Television indeed.

Katrina Halili and Dennis Trillo from Magdusa Ka!

Over 600 judges from 50 different countries judged these programs in a span of 6 months. The awarding ceremonies will be seen from Hilton New York on November 23, 2009. From KUMAGCOW and the rest of the Philippines, GOODLUCK!

Reminiscing San Diego!

Oh I still remember the time when I went to San Diego when I was a kid. I went to Sea World and got my first glimpse of mammals from the ocean. The sheer view of Killer Whales and seals got me hooked on their show. I was even invited to participate in their program but only got myself wet in the process. Good thing my Mom was there to change my clothes, or I could catch a cold ha-ha!

I love the sea obviously and it has been my long withstanding dream to have my own san diego weddings on a boat. Who would not like that! Imagine your friends and family enjoying every bit of that special occasion while you start taking in that breeze on a cold summer night. Together with San Diego Dinner cruises around the area, you would never miss the pleasure how to eat in style. I would definitely consider this place if I am going to get married. Maybe soon when my girlfriend shoots me that question, I would be thinking how to get a San Diego Yacht Charter in place. From my childhood, to the day I want to be with someone; this has definitely made my shortlist because wishes keep coming true in San Diego. I'll be back there soon!

UE Red Warriors wins versus ATENEO Blue Eagles by 20 Points!

It was all heart. That was the weapon that obliterated the hopes of a back to back sweep of the finals game of UE vs Ateneo. Norman Black had a huge problem of maintaining composure with the offensive assault of the UE Red Warriors. I was so proud of the guys a while ago because of that 20 point lead that they had on this game. Imagine, 3 of them had double digits after the game which really spelled the doom for the Ateneo Blue Eagles. Not to mention the salty hands of Jai Reyes from the perimeter area and the childish complaints of the middle eastern guy made when he got nudged a couple of times under the basket. It was good to see people were really challenging him even on that height advantage. The Warriors were pretty much playing a smart game. That is why on Game # 2, they won this one!

Elmer Espiritu and Pari Llagas definitely will not retire their shirts without a fight for the red and white. They showed form and composure and they all got their shots sunk that gave them this huge lead. A winner take all game will transpire on Thursday and I am sure the University of the East Red Warriors will win this one! With the whole UE crowd and the UE Red Tribe nothing is impossible! Go Fight Red and White!

The Scores:

UE 88 – Espiritu 22, Llagas 19, Lee 13, Acuna 12, Lingganay 7, Reyes 6, Zamar 5, Duran 4, Tagarda 0, Bandaying 0.

ADMU 68 – Al-Hussaini 18, Monfort 12, Reyes 11, Baclao 10, Austria 6, Salamat 4, Long 3, Chua 2, Buenafe 2, Sumalinog 0, Salva 0.

Quarters: 18-15, 38-40, 63-53, 88-68.

UE Red Warriors loses Game 1 vs Ateneo 71-78

It's okay. I am not in the mood to talk about it but here goes. The University of the East Red Warriors just lost game 1 versus Ateneo Blue Eggless este Eagles in the 71st Season of UAAP. I personally witnessed a couple of things... the officiating was indeed wrong a couple of times, there were traveling violations everywhere by Ateneo that was not called, there was one incident of a backing foul too that was not called with Kirk Long. I don't know what to say but since we already lost this one, there will still be game number 2 ahead. I will still support my team no matter what.

I would like to also apologize to Psychopau of the Red Tribe and his girlfriend for spraying red water on her because I didn't know the thing I was spinning around was wet. My pants apparently got stained too, I am really sorry for that.

For the Red Tribe, I would like to thank you guys for the wonderful game a while ago. Even if we lost, there is still game 2 that we will look forward to. We will still be behind UE all the way! Let them bow down to the warriors on Sunday!

The Best Games Now!

As you may have seen on the pictures I have on the slide show on the left side of my site, I have been an avid fan of on line games since it was introduced here in the Philippines. Without any money or credits, I always find it still amusing to get on my desktop and laptop computer and play those games wherever I am. Even in the times I am in stress I still find time to play because this is the best stress reliever for me obviously.

A new one has just arrived and it is called aion. Have you heard of it? If you are around North America, I am quite sure you already have friends who do. But have you asked them why they play this game? It is a different reality where creatures, monsters and heroes collide. You can also tag along with other players within the server for better experience gain. You will also have the chance to play different aion classes available. If there are some skeptics around you just try the game and there will be a big difference. The game play is easy and navigation is a cinch. Maps are also available quest after quest, make that move and get those buttons pressing for the newest game in alternate reality. Get that fortress and make your friends know that you play this game now! Do not forget to sign up in the aion forum so you can get other players around the world to help you begin this journey!

I'm watching UE vs Ateneo Game 1

This just got in. I am watching Game 1 of the University of the East vs Ateneo championship game which will happen in Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City.

This morning was a not so good one for me but when I went to the venue this morning, I saw my co red tribe members going through the lines and they eventually got me an upper A ticket. It seems that everything is taking place and getting fixed. I know that this is the time for University of the East to get that crown and end the title drought that has hunted us for 24 years. Yes it took us that long to get in this place and I do not think there would be a better time to take it in our hands. I just know and feel that there will be redemption. A lot of schools are also rooting for us in this best of 3 series, and if we win I will be one happy boy even if I only got a few hours of sleep. Maybe later this evening I could still catch some Z's after the game. It is my Dad's birthday after all and this would be a nice gift for him.

And yes I will greet him too.


Happy Birthday Dad! =)

Jobs for All!

There is hope!

The country has faced about 14% unemployment rate for the past few years and this is expected to increase in the coming months because of the effect in economic recession here and around the globe. It is so hard to even get a chance for most Americans to at least get interviewed as some prove to be not interested if they do not apply on line. This has proven to be a very difficult task for most tenured employees. They need a site that they can understand easily so they would not have to go through these arduous tasks just to get a job.

This is where laboratoryassistantjobs.com comes in. This is where you can find most local jobs in your town. This is where you can also simply upload your resume and browse job openings which are also 100% free. There are a lot of opportunities even for a laboratory assistant job. Where else can you find a better place to get that job you are qualified for?! Make sure you take the time and visit or even ask your friends to do so. There is no harm in trying the best in the business.

I Want Your Body Your Body Not You!

Hahahah... Those were the words I heard from the kids playing outside our home one day when I was planning to go to the gym. Since there was a massive blackout in the city and crippled most of the businesses around the metro, I was afraid the gym was also going to be closed. When I passed by, I was surprised they had lights open but only a few people were going in.

When I went up the plight of stairs in the front of Fitness First Eastwood I immediately went to the reception area and paid my dues for next month. I was planning to also work out since they have electricity, but when I asked about their services for the day... I was surprised because they had the equipment running... but they said "Sorry Sir we do not have WATER!".

Whaaaat?! I exclaimed, how am I going to work out after work then? Will I be suffering heat and exhaustion then never get a single drop of water to drink or bathe with?! Why am I paying them a lot for?! They could not even get a decent generator to get their pumps working so we at least get some potable water. Those darn capitalists seem to be still taking advantage of us members. We should get refunds for this! Arrrgh!!! And now here I go again suffering without gym for a week! Sheesh!

Oh Weddings!

I think I have taken wedding photography up when I was doing Nuptial shoots a few weeks ago. I think I fared quite well than most photographers. I have taken the advantage of my zoom lens a lot these days and probably taken quite a few practice shots ahead of the pack. It was a great experience if you ask me, but I guess there are still a lot of things that I should learn about with weddings.

There is one Wedding Blog that I visit every now and then because they have the best selection of services and products available in the market. Not only that, they also set trends to the most recent wedding ceremonies in the United States. Be it designer clothing or just off the rack they will tell you the actual things you must understand in this industry. We all start by looking up wedding planning corporations when we think of that grand day. You can also get them on to give tips how to stay in the budget even at extreme conditions and never sugar coat anything to eliminate you from incurring debt after the ceremonies. It is not going to be complicated with their experts. You should only go for WEDLOFT - The so called wedding bible of people who know weddings!

If you are always unsure what color to take, what flowers to make and what course you should take to make it perfect... their personnel would be there to help you get through the stress of this awesome event in your life. No ordinary wedding websites can do that!
