Chilean Television networks had showed already the effects of the 8.8 magnitude earthquakes. Images of devastating effect of earthquake are starting to crawl over the internet. Injured people lay in the streets, roads are destroyed and electricity and water were cut out in many areas.
Experts warned that a tsunami could strike anywhere in the Pacific, and Hawaii could face its largest waves since 1964 starting at 11:19 a.m. (4:19 p.m. EST, 2119 GMT), according to Charles McCreery, director of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. - Yahoo

Manny Pacquiao versus Joshua Clottey fight on March 13, 2010
THE EVENT, Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey camp agreed to fight for WBO welterweight championship on March 13, 2010 in in Arlington, Texas, USA at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. This is due to the failed negotiations of Pacquaio vs Mayweather. They didn’t agree with the terms of the fight and the issue on drug testing. Bob Arum announced that the pound for pound king will fight against the native boxer of Ghana.
We know everything about Manny Pacquiao and who is our concern? His opponent. Who is Joshua Clottey? Clottey became prominent by winning in his first twenty fights, including 14 by knockout. His performance set him up to fight Carlos Baldomir, in a title defense by Baldomir for the WBC International Welterweight Title. Clottey lost by disqualification in a controversial fight. Joshua Clottey was winning the fight until the 10th round, where he was penalized two points for an intentional head butt. He was warned for his head but did it again resulting in the referee stopping the fight and disqualifying Clottey.Clottey rebounded from the loss by winning the African Boxing Union welterweight title in his next fight. He then rolled off a 10 fight winning streak which was highlighted by his first win on American soil and the capturing of several minor welterweight and middleweight titles culminating in an IBF Intercontinental welterweight title.
For sure many Filipinos will once again support Manny Pacquaio who have proven his craft for years. Pacquiao is currently the WBO World welterweight champion, Ring Magazine light welterweight champion, and is rated by Ring Magazine as the number 1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world.
He is also the former WBC World lightweight champion, WBC World super featherweight champion, IBF World super bantamweight champion, and WBC World flyweight champion.
The Filipino boxing superstar is the first boxer in history to win seven world titles in seven different weight divisions.Aside from boxing career, Manny has also participated in Politics, acting, and Music Recording.
The Event can be watched on HBO PPV after HBO agreed to cover the mega event of the year in Texas. Mayweather’s camp tried to convince the network to cover his upcoming fights but HBO prefers Pacquiao. The ticket was cost $50-$700 from corner to front near ring on the floor of the Cowboys Stadium. To all Filipinos and Americans who are fan of Boxing, I once again invite you to don't miss this fight on March 13, 2010.

Jason Francisco PBB College Pictures
Don't judge the book by its cover, A loose adage which is specific to Jason Veron Francisco, A PBB housemate from Calero, Calapan, Oriental Mindoro. Way back in College, he was just a common student who sometimes came to school without paper or even ballpen, A nursing student who used to sit at the last corner of the room talking with his colleagues. When he first came out in PBB (Pinoy Big Brother), I am sure that you are one of the viewers who first criticized him for his looks and stance. I am his classmate for years and I don’t know that he has this good personality. He is game for anything, especially tests that will challenge him physically. Jason Francisco is infamous in Oriental Mindoro since he is just an ordinary Calapeno whose face is frequent in street brawls. In his College pictures below, you will see what I am saying.
He became known in PBB (Pinoy Big Brother) for his respect and admiration for girls, this is because he lived his life with his grandmother. He is an avid fan of Binoe (Robin Padilla), that’s why he imitated the way he talks, the way he stands and the way he acts. Jason knows how to find ways in getting what he wants. Now that he became one of the PBB grand winners, I don’t think he still remember us.

And with five game modes to dig into, the fun never dies!

Story of Star Cinema's Miss you like Crazy
Miss you like Crazy, a movie starred by Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz. A Philippine Movie produced by Star Cinema. This movie began yesterday, February 24, 2010 in Philippine Cinemas nationwide.
DIRECTED BY: Cathy Garcia Molina
"Without giving away the specific plot of the story, you’d find that there lies the beauty of watching Miss You Like Crazy because it keeps you guessing until the end of the film. John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo have given justice to the well-script by conveying their character’s inner conflict by knowing when to hold back or give in to their emotions. But the biggest surprise is Bea who stands out with her role as Mia Samonte whose quirks (like writing out her dilemmas on marbles), attitude, and beliefs are mostly the take-off points of the movie’s themes. But this doesn’t make John Lloyd less of an actor for it was his character Alan Alvarez’s subtle charm and intensity which made the whole dramatic performance really effective." - Star Cinema
John Lloyd plays the role of Allan Alvarez while Bea plays the character of Mia Samonte. Stern man (John Lloyd Cruz) falls for his polar opposite bubbly girl (Bea Alonzo), when he met abroad. the problem is, he's already committed to another woman Maricar Reyes. Director Cathy Garcia Molina promises that this rom-com offers more "adult kilig moments."DIRECTED BY: Cathy Garcia Molina

Whale kills trainer as horrified audience watch
A seaworld killer snatched her trainer from a poolside platform Wednesday in its jaws and thrashed the woman around underwater, killing her in front of the horrified audience.
Dawn Brancheau, trainer, was rubbing Tilikum after a noontime show when the 12,000-pound whale grabbed her and pulled her in, said Chuck Tompkins, head of animal training at all SeaWorld parks. Park officials said that the trainer drowned.
Skaggs, 72, said an alarm sounded and staff rushed the audience out of the stadium as workers scrambled around with nets.
Skaggs said he heard that during an earlier show the whale was not responding to directions. Others who attended the earlier show said the whale was behaving like an ornery child.
He left with his wife and didn't find out until later that the trainer had died. The retired couple from Michigan had been among some stragglers in the audience who had stayed to watch the animals and trainers when the accident occurred.
The experience of Dawn Bracheau is the not first attack, during November 2006, a trainer was bitten and held underwater several times by a killer whale during a show at SeaWorld's San Diego park.
The trainer, Kenneth Peters, escaped with a broken foot. The 17-foot orca that attacked him was the dominant female of SeaWorld San Diego's seven killer whales. She had attacked Peters two other times, in 1993 and 1999.
Wednesday's attack was the second time in two months that an orca trainer was killed at a marine park. On Dec. 24, 29-year-old Alexis Martinez Hernandez fell from a whale and crushed his ribcage at Loro Parque on the Spanish island of Tenerife. Park officials said the whale, a 14-year-old named Keto, made an unusual move as the two practiced a trick in which the whale lifts the trainer.

Naging Mahirap
Nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura?
Nag-Pasko ka na ba sa gitna ng kalsada?

At gumawa ng sariling pangalan.
Si Manny Villar ang magtatapos
ng ating kahirapan.

Hu's profile has no message, photo or information other than his name and official titles.
It was not clear when the account was set up, but more than 14,000 web users had signed on to follow the account by Monday morning, allowing them to receive updates by email, Windows Messenger, or Google's Talk service.
If we should remember, China has threatened google for its hacking allegations. The New York Times reported last week that the hack attacks had been traced to two elite Chinese schools, but both have denied any involvement.
Until now, youtube, twitter and facebook are strictly prohibited in the country, the reason why Google Buzz as of today is being crowded by Chinese users.
I am sure that many Chinese would agree if the three of the most well-known sites today will be unbanned in their country considering that they are the most populated country in the world.

Glow in the Dark Toilet Paper
This is another invention which proved that man really has a wise instinct.
This glow in the dark toilet paper is very useful during power outages while you’re blasting in the porcelain throne. Let's just hope that this toilet paper is safe to wipe in our butt.
In the united States, each roll of this toilet paper costs $8 dollars, so don't use it in unnecessary wipes.

Does Apple’s Pornography Purge a Smart Move?
I have read this news today and concerned because I am fan.
Apple is embarking to a new anti pornography crusade to ride its iPhone App Store for overtly sexual content.
According to new reports, the target of this plan includes adults which manage to incorporate the word “boob” in their titles.
Apple came up to this design due to the overwhelming comments of its customers in the company’s support forums about sexual content in the app Store.
According to Information Week, Apple developers have also griped about the sex-themed apps, which they say are proliferating in some App Store categories and making other apps harder to find.
At first glance, Apple’s move appears either prudish or hypocritical or both. Sexually-explicit content was already mushroomed in App Store, and some of the newly banned apps are about as racy as the Sport Illustrated swimsuit issue.
And if Apple really wants to engaged themselves out of pornography, why doesn’t it remove Safari from iphone and ipod touch? After all, web browser is the most efficient and easy to use tool application to access pornographic contents?

Chinese Schools Reject Google Hacking Allegations
Shanghai Jiaotong University and Lanxiang Vocational School said they have no knowledge of any attack perpetrated by their students. The two schools said that the allegations by google are pure speculations. They also denied that they have ties with the Chinese military. Earlier investigators said cyberattacks against Google and other Businesses have been drawn from the two Chinese schools.
The attacks were allegedly aimed at filtering e-mails from Chinese human rights advocates and stealing trade secrets from American companies. However, there is a possibility that the attacks were launched from outside the schools but used IP addresses from the computers inside the campuses.
The allegation is the latest to involve Google and China, which have been at odds over censoring issues. China restricts the information allowed to enter its online domains, a move that Google opposes.

PBB Teen Edition Clash Online and Mobile Registration
We know of no other way to register, and we believe that, if there would be any other existing method to register, the registration through sms is still the fastest and most handy for all.
Remember that only 50,000 texters will be accommodated, so if I were you, I’d rush with the application online once PBB official website opens. So if most of you are receiving texts that the registration was closed, then be it. Let's wait for another announcements of audition schedules.
