Pres. NOYNOY gets a Doll



If Noy gets a doll definitely his sister Krissy should have one too, and voila, a miniature version of Kris Aquino pops up. It seems that Krissy eagerly fills up the empty spot for First Lady as both dolls are the give-away items for the Inaugural of President-elect Noynoy Aquino. So eat your heart out Shalani, don’t expect wedding bells too soon…hmmm maybe after 6 years lol.



                    I could never imagine a normal guy wants a doll of his own. But I guess our president is different. Being the only son in the family, he may have been pushed a lot by his sisters. And we see on the news how his attire and fashion is mainly dictated by his sisters. I just hope that when it comes to political decisions, he is not a doll that can be controlled easily. 
Maybe the doll is not actually a bad idea if we overlook the mockery and the jokes that are circulating the web which heightens the issue of sexuality of our president. These dolls will be inscribed in our history books as they will be part of an important political event. Therefore these novelty items would definitely become a collector’s item in the near future. And if this thing becomes a fad then you can expect replica of these dolls in Quaipo at much cheaper price but nothing beats the original of course.

The dolls are cute but they hardly look like the president especially the hair, maybe it’s the future look of the president, after 6 years he will suddenly transform to this man with generously thick hair and puffy cheeks.  Well I highly doubt that, with the problems he will be facing in running our country the least of his problem is his hair.

And for Kris Aquino doll , it captured the eyes and the rest is hypocrisy. I would prefer a Jolina magdangal’s doll over this one…or not. Kris could never be simple like that wearing even a black shirt and pants. She lives an imeldific lifestyle with gowns that she always shows off on her shows, nevertheless we accepted and liked her coz there’s no one like her in showbiz. She kept us entertain with all her drama and issues that hopefully won’t rub off to Noynoy.
           
            Aside from dolls, umbrella, fans and watches are also to be given away for the guests. There are 4500 invitations distributed for the President’s Inauguration. Guest includes dignitaries, justices, diplomatic corps, and high ranking officials of our government. 


                    


            Some of the watches with the comic image of Noynoy and Cory will be sold for 450 each during the inauguration. The income generated will go to the Ninoy Cory Aquino Foundation. 


No Classes for the President’s Inaguration that is something to look forward to.

OfficialCharice: It's official. I'm on Glee (next season) but story behind it. When d rumor came out, it wasn't true. But then after that; I tried to audition. And i made it!!! Let's Party!!!! To get updates from Charice you can join on her tweeter at this website: Official Charice Twitter




Photobucket




                          Hurray! Another first for a Filipino talent. Charice conquers another milestone as she joins the cast of the most hyped tv show today GLEE. For those not familiar with this show, its concept is more like the high school musical movies wherein it showcases great rendition of songs from Madonna to Lady Gaga, impressive voice adrenaline from the casts,  with remarkable dance choreography, and some drama and comedy on the side.

            You may think the Charice was chosen because she used Oprah’s influence. Think not, since just like everybody else in Hollywood she auditioned for the role. There are also rumors that Anne Curtis, Sam Mily, and Nikki Gil also auditioned unfortunately they were not casted. 


            So Charice will enter the Glee as a foreign exchange student that tries to steal the the diva throne from Rachel. Exciting concept, definitely we could expect lots of fiery banters and sing-off. 

so excited!!!
            For love angle, maybe the writers could pair him up with Mike Chang, the other Asian in the group.

             Charice , from You Tube sensation to Stardom like Justin Bieber hopefully you do good and not be trashed like this.

Movie Chat: Karate Kid 2010



For starters, it’s not KARATE, but a Kung Fu movie, nevertheless doesn’t matter coz I wouldn’t even know their differences.
As a Jackie Chan fan, I expected it to be funny filled with the coolest stunts. Seeing Jackie Chan on the big screen today, it suddenly struck me for the first time that he looks like our DOLPY , yap you heard me right, our Comedy King of Philippine Cinema, don’t believe me? Look at this pic. 
 
 





      Jackie Chan as usual delivers in the movie but on a different new level. His drama acting is prowess without a hint of resemblance from his past roles which usually have the aura of comedic boyish charm. For this film, he plays a serious mature character who in the process of training Dre (Jayden Smith) developed a father-son relationship. Another difference from his past movies, this time there’s no blooper at the end of the film a disappointment for me but for Justin Bieber Fan , I guess you can appreciate the credits at the end, lol, figure that one out.
             Jayden Smith is now a movie star with this blockbuster hit. This remake of the 1980’s Karate Kid paved the way for Jayden to step back on his father’s shadow (Will Smith) and share the limelight with him. He is so charming like his father and his acting is undeniably great as he can easily exude coolness with his dancing, fighting, and comedic scenes. Aside from oozing charisma, the boy can easily shift to dramatic gear with right timing. He cried in the movie (without the annoying overdramatic wincing of eyes and hands covering the face which is actually a common sight for Trying Hard stars in our country) , thus he easily captured my sympathies. 
            As usual there’s a love angle, puppy love whatever you call it, made the movie cheesy but tolerable anyway.
          
 
                        Aside from the lead stars, the main antagonist Cheng definitely made an impact on me. His acting is so great that for a moment I was scared for Dre. He definitely can kick ass. 
                       Since I would not like to spoil the movie for you, let me just give you some fun trivia about the movie.  This movie is actually produced by Mr & Mrs. Smith, lol, not Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, but  Mr Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. Equally famous and proud parents of the lead star Jayden Smith. I just wished though that Will Smith did a cameo in the movie. 
Another trivia, Michelle Yeoh did a cameo role in the movie. You just have to be keen observant and be really familiar with the actress to be able to spot her. Well that’s a challenge I’m throwing at you if you can recognize her in this movie.
This movie for me is 5 stars, how about you, what is your rate? Haven’t watch it yet? Well, still have time to watch it, Did I already said that June 30 was declared as holiday?  If not, now you know, grab your friends and some popcorn and watch it on SM or Metrotown or Magic Star, after the inauguration of Pres. Noynoy of course.

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW OUR PRESIDENT NOYNOY?




            June 30, 2010 has been declared as special non-working holiday due to inauguration of Philippines' 15th President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, and also of the new Vice President Jejomar "Jojo" Binay, at the Quirino Grand Stand.
            Good news for students,  giving them a break from school and be just kids at home or avid gamers at net cafĂ© or teens with lots of gimmicks with friends.
            The impending inauguration actually excites me not only because another President comes from my province Tarlac but mostly because the said inauguration would be star-studded. Lots of intrigues would definitely fill up the tabloids. So ironic when in comes to politics the raging network wars takes a backseat as their stars from both camps ABSCBN and GMA would definitely attend the inauguration. For the first time in our political history-the Politics, Church and Showbiz unites. The result of the merger hopefully would not end up in disaster.
            I toast for a better country for the next six years and may President Noynoy Aquino be as good as he promised. In line with this it is appropriate that we should get to know our new president. Below is a short profile of President Noynoy Aquino.



Noynoy Aquino is:
  • First unmarried president
  • Has no children
  • 2nd president from Tarlac the first of course her mother Former Pres. Cory Aquino.
  • Graduated from the Ateneo de Manila University with a course of  Bachelor's degree in Economics
  • 50 years old
  • He is a smoker
  • Aquino will be the second president not to drink alcohol, the first president not to drink alcohol was Emilio Aguinaldo.
  • Aquino is currently in a relationship with Shalani Soledad, a 30-year-old Valenzuela City councilor and niece of former Senator Francisco Tatad


  • Propaganda used against him during the campaign:

ASSIGNMENT CRISIS!!!



Once upon a time encyclopedia is the fad. From A-Z , I can find answers to my assignments. From one sentence definition I stretch it to make a one elaborated paragraph that mostly composed of 1 sentence that truly answers the question and the rest…like darts that never really hit bulls-eye but definitely helps to make the required 1 page assignment.
Now with just clicks on my computer I can access hundreds of sources. Internet is a virtual library right in front of our eyes without the dust and spiders lurking in the corners but then there’s virus…and that’s another topic.
Too much information can be very overwhelming. So how can we filter this enormous amount of information and get only the answers that we need?  Below is a list that I made to guide you on your online research. 

  1. Get to the Point-  Say it directly, computers just like people are not mind readers. Be specific on your research. If you need “ Parts of the Microscope with definition” then type ““ Parts of the Microscope with definition”  on the Google Search box. It’s as easy as that.


  1. Collect and Collect and then Select- just like a playboy’s motto you just want to stick with the best answer and you wouldn’t know that if you’re not going to take a glimpse of every results showed by Google. But not to the point of opening hundreds of webpages coz a playboy just picks his type, thus you should just click websites that you think gives valuable answers.
Every website has distinct content thus you can actually collate them just make sure ideas presented are not repetitive.

3. Meet the Parents- just like the saying “kung anong bunga syang puno” , thus we should always check the credibility of the website. Check the academic background of the author and the references he/she used. If there’s any doubt on the research then better to trash, you don’t want to be a carrier of wrong information.


 4. Respect for the Parents- Don’t be an ingrate, give credit to the author. It’s actually an additional pogi points for you if you add references to your research even though it was not required by your teacher. It gives much credibility to your paper since your teacher can counter check your references for any clarification. It’s your Pontius Pilate way of washing hands from any blame if there’s any erroneous information on your paper.

  5. Strut Your Own Stuff- Plagiarism (copying other’s ideas) is a big No in research even if it is just for a simple assignment given by your teacher. Copy and paste and even changing the font size or style is still plagiarism. Be different; say it with your own words. Sweat it, so the result will be sweeter.

 6. Explore- Just keep on exploring the world of internet, and you’ll find enormous treasures. Treasures in forms of knowledge and fun. Below is a list of recommended websites that could help you in your research.


  1. http://www.wikipedia.org/-  this is your online source of encyclopedia which covers almost all of the topics that your teacher might give you as an assignment. No more flipping of heavy encyclopedia books and dealing with grumpy librarian. 

2.  http://www.google.com-  just type your keywords to the search box and in one click hundreds of references are displayed. Other alternative is Yahoo.com.

3.  http://www.youtube.com/-  your online source of instruction videos, music videos, missed shows, news, funny clips and so much more.
Our shop can download youtube videos if you are interested on putting videos on your cell phone, ipod or mp4. Just ask the operator for assistance. Just make sure you have the URL for easy searching.
