SAVE AGNO!

From: http://pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?t=356032

Kaninang 12pm ng tanghali ay may mga nagdatingan na mga tauhan ng Manila City Hall. Pinapaalis nila ang mga foodcart sa Agno dahil sa complain ng mga restaurants sa E.G.I Taft Tower.

Ang reklamo nila ay business competition which is pretty lame kasi kung iisipin mo parang McDonalds yun na may katabing Jollibee sabay reklamo sa Jollibee dahil di sila makabenta.

Nakakaawa yung mga food vendors sa Agno kasi they're trying to make a decent living pero pinipigilan sila na gawin yun. Sa lahat ng mga concerned na katulad ko na sa Agno lang umaasa dahil tight ang budget, kumilos po tayo at maki-isa. Boycottin natin ang mga E.G.I restaurants, baka habang buhay nang mawala ang Agno.

Clarissa Ocampo vs. Jun Lozada By: Raz De La Torre

Clarissa Ocampo vs. Jun Lozada
By: Raz De La Torre

Here's why I'm not quite stirred by the political hooplah involving star whistleblower Jun Lozada:

I hate any form of grandstanding.

I acknowledge that Jun Lozada is on the side of truth. What I don't appreciate how he keeps on appealing to emotion and popularity. Self-references as a mere "probinsyanong intsik." Engaging in an interview on national television dressed in an undergarment then
calling attention to ho w meekly he is dressed compared to the uniformed people with whom he is engaged in a debate. Declaring statements inflamed with self-importance, like "I didn't know my coming out to tell the truth will save the country's soul." Doing rounds, making appearances, delivering speeches, and quoting Jose Rizal in interviews and opportunely referring to the national hero as his idol.

I am tempted to call them stunts, but I don't want to be unfair to Mr.Lozada. Having said that, it's hard to not suspect him of consciously doing these things with the intention to efface himself. In an instant, Mr. Lozada morphed from a sniveling witness to a master
showman wielding humor and self-deprecating comments to capitalize on public sentiment anxious for change. In my eyes, that's what spells the difference between genuine and false humility.

This is where Clarissa Ocampo comes in.

Miss Ocampo came out as a witness because she was privy to something important. She simply had something to say, so she came forth, said it, and left the people to weigh her revelations on their own. And that was it. Clarissa Ocampo wasn't all over the place campaigning for public support like Lozada does nowadays. I seem to remember her
indulging requests for appearances but not in a manner that sought recognition as a hero or a savior. Not the way Lozada strikes me. His actions reek of an agenda to hoist himself onto a moral pedestal to earn credibility for his testimonies.

Don't get me wrong. I believe in what Lozada says. I believe that the ZTE deal was anomalous, that Abalos was out to protect his PhP130M commission, that his escort out of the NAIA airport was an attempt to keep him out of the Senate's reach (though I wouldn't really join in calling it "kidnapping" ). I believe in the value of Lozada's testimony and how crucial it is in ridding our country of this culture of corruption.

Even so, I believe a careful scrutiny of the messenger is still in order. No, I am not out to shoot Lozada, but neither will I blindly follow the call of Lozada, Joey de Venecia and those from the opposition whose motives are unclear and possibly mixed with selfish
ones. Greed, as generally recognized, is the root of corruption. This is why a whiff of greed evokes extraordinary discretion on my part, enough to keep me in the sidelines, far from the hysteria in Binay's front yard.

What I advocate is a fair assessment of the veracity of thesewitnesses' revelations, and a resort to the appropriate legal action that conforms to the rule of law. Yes, people power has been ensconced in the constitution, but so were other legal remedies such as "impeachment. " The political minority and other interest groups lobby for a street protest saying that the administration control of the congress makes it impossible for the a proper resolution of this controversy. So when will an impeachment, as provided in the
constitution, be the proper recourse? When it's convenient for them? Perhaps what they really want is for work to be cut out for them.

I continue to believe in the spirit of EDSA Dos and am grateful that it resulted in the ouster of former President Jos eph Estrada. And yes, I believe that President Gloria Arroyo is much better president than he was, though she's obviously far from perfect. But like before, I still would've preferred the impeachment proceeding to an extrajudicial ouster of Estrada. I welcome the windfall of our mass protest in 2001 but admit that it was essentially a shortcut. That we allowed it then, I believe, is what drives certain politicians now to clamor for a wrest of power from the present government.

It's not simply about lack of an alternative to a present evil, but a refusal to be manipulated by another one. I was already made i nto a pawn when I participated in EDSA Dos. I'm
not falling for that again. Fool me twice, shame on me. It would take much more than people with shady credentials and blatant agenda to coax me into heeding a call that could ultimately sweep someone else less deserving and more deleterious into power.

Thank you, Mr. Lozada, for telling us what you know. You have definitely earned your place in history. But can you please stop with the antics now?

BODYJAM 43

2007-11-10T16:13:00.000+08:00

We’re backing Dance4Life again this year and BODYJAM™ 43 will focus our support for the global campaign to fight HIV/AIDS. DJ Benjamin Bates has laid down the beats for the 2007 campaign and we’ll use this track for our Warmup – it’s a super-simple combination featuring a jazzy Box Step.

The Isolations Track is gangster with a capital ‘G’. Add FLAVA with the Snap and get down with your bad-selves to You Know What It Is by T.I. feat. Wyclef, before you Wind It Up to Daddy Yankee in the Reggaeton Track.

Then get ready to break out your best John Travolta moves in the brand new Disco cardio block!

Classic Disco sounds from Chaka Khan get you in the mood for grooving, before breaking out the Boogaloo in everyone’s favorite karaoke tune No More Tears by Kym Mazelle and Jocelyn Brown. The Freemasons’ Nothing But A Heartache finishes off the set with a stomping Disco sound, in keeping with the groovalicious theme.

Recover to the super-cool b.u.d.d.y, before entering the New School House phase of the class which features some amazing tracks from Rihanna and a TV Rock remix of The Others. These tracks are gonna take the class on a dance revolution and by the end of this phase you’ll want to break out the Conga!

Prepare yourself for Popping – the all-new dance style in the final block. Popping is like grabbing and releasing all of the muscles in your upper body, and the Timbaland track really inspires you to get your pop on.

The class finishes with the classic funk sounds of Stevie Wonder – a Groove Down that will sign, seal and deliver BODYJAM™ 43.

Next Project: Beyoncé

2007-09-16T11:27:00.000+08:00

Yes friends. The date: November 7, which coincidentally is my SIXTH year in the Bank. Hmm anniversary gift? And it's going to be again held in the Fort open grounds, just tapat lang of the office. :-)

BODYJAM 42

2007-09-09T20:11:00.000+08:00

1 Booty Luv - Boogie 2Nite (Seamus Haji Big Love Edit)
2 Eve - Tambourine (Clean Version)
3 John Legend - Don’t You Worry 'Bout A Thing
4 Jennifer Lopez - Let's Get Loud
5 Mega NuRave Styles and DJ ‘Little’ Rippa - Do It Again
6 Timbaland feat. Fall Out Boy - One And Only
7 Rihanna feat. Jay-Z - Umbrella (Clean Version)
8 Alibi vs. Rockefeller - Sexual Healing (Freemasons Mix)
9 Groove Armada - Get Down (Original Club Version)
10 Global Deejays feat. Technotronic - Get Up (Before The Night Is Over) (Tribalectric Mix)
11 Freemasons feat. Siedah Garrett - Rain Down Love (Phunkk Mobb Remix)
12 Beyonce feat. Shakira - Beautiful Liar

Check out the craziest new dance moves to the latest, greatest tunes in BODYJAM 42. Jammers all over the world will love the simplified choreography while still retaining that amazing high that comes with the sensation of dance.

The warm up starts with a super simple Club feel to clear the dance floor and drop into the feel of Jam. The isolation track is the bangin' new Tambourine from Eve and, as always, it's designed to help you dance better later in the class. The song is massive so careful not to BREAKOUT from the start!

Hook into a hypnotic Cha Cha Cha rhythm with classic Latin steps we drill over and over for success. Then J-Lo kicks and your technique tightens to accentuate the Latin furore.

The Heel Lift to Rihanna's Umbrella could possibly be the coolest move we've ever done in BODYJAM - the moves sync with the beat harmoniously. Then we "Throw Away" the arms to the same accent in the music, like you're throwing party dust on the crowd!

Then throw your load round the back for a massive hip swing. Grrove Armada have outdone themselves with Get Down, the most feakin' amazing song of the year! There are two massive BREAKOUT opportunities here. Keep working with the house feel, leaning outside, light on your feet, weight on your toes. Then the Freemasons take us home (again!!) with an amazing breakout club feel to take your class through the essence of BODYJAM.

The BODYJAM education session introduces the "tip button". The button pops up on the DVD screen at inervals during the Masterclass and gives a detailed breakdown of that block of choreography.

Excerpt from the Between Deadlines column in the Inquirer:

BETWEEN DEADLINES
Clueless in Congress, and the same alma mother

***

That famous email. If you have an email account, chances are you've gotten at least one copy of a hilarious short story stitched together from Filipino-English malapropisms, the one that begins: "We've been friends for a long time ago. We come from the same alma mother."

As it turns out, "A Love Story" (re-titled "The?!" in some emails, "You're barking at the wrong leg" in others) was written as a joke by GMA Network news reporters Tina Panganiban-Perez, Kara David, Ruth Cabal, Joseph Morong, Nelson Canlas and Aubrey Carampel. Gosh, you never can tell.

Some of the malapropisms, connect me if I am wrong, can be traced to a beauty queen, an actress-turned- politician, even a former President. But most of those included in what is possibly the year's most forwarded email were coined by these creative journalists while killing time in coverage or waiting for interviews. (Yes, it's true good to be true.)

Reporters on the Commission on Elections (Comelec) beat saw it start. Once, barred from entering the Palacio del Gobernador building to cover Lintang Bedol's first appearance before the commission after his arrest, they fumed when another reporter managed to sneak into the Comelec building. Under the searing midday sun, Panganiban-Perez quipped: "'Pag nakita natin siya sa taas, sabihin natin: 'Well, well, well, look do we have here...'"

It was enough to crack up the agitated group, and other malapropisms were exchanged the rest of the day. By evening, Perez texted her colleagues a partial list of "Worlds of Wisdom." A few days later came the first version (as conceptualized by David) of "A Love Story."

The group later uploaded a longer version of the story on to their personal websites and blogs. Then it began to circulate on the Internet, reaching Vancouver, Hong Kong and Bangkok, among many other cities -- without any attribution, however, to the authors or their websites. The nerd!

Issues over intellectual property rights notwithstanding, the group composed a sequel, titled "Sinetch si Jeff," and then a pressed release from "Genie-fer," the lovestruck girl in the first story, in a spirited defense of, well, her use of the English language.

"A Love Story" continues to gain in popularity. As for the authors, let's cut them some slacks. Perez said she and her friends want to make it known that they can speak good, grammatically correct English. "Worlds of Wisdom" is simply a diversion, albeit one that has become a rebounding success. N. Dizon

2007-07-07T14:32:00.000+08:00

Its inevitable that I would compare going to Mariah and Christina's concerts and I must say, Christina won me over! Same place, same monobloc chairs but the value I got from watching Christina's concert was way more than what I got from Mariah.

The concert started late, and damn! I too was late. Bills said it'd be at 7pm. It started 830, and still stupid me arrived 9pm! Grr! What was astonishing is that there were a lot of empty chairs at the back! I didnt mind too that the usheretted directed me to the wrong seat. I was at D37 but I sat down at D27! ehehehe.

If there was one regret, it would be that I didnt bring my camera!!! There were 2 people in front of me who were using their digicams! I thought kasi they won't be allowed in! Waahh!! So I had to make use of my phone which of course didnt compare to my digicam. Argh. I'd have to ask a friend of Colby to give me some pics he took of the concert.

I like the part when they were saying goodbyes and a drizzle happened along with confetti. The weather really cooperated with us. I was shouting, "Sige tuloy pa rin!" partly because I had an umbrella with me naman talaga.

There were freebies from the sponsors but I wasnt able to get much. Sayang yung Nokia pamaypay and balloons!

Twas a good thing too that the concert was near our office. I was able to eat pa nga dinner and rest at the pantry before going home!

Pls visit my Multiply site for pics and vids.

Never had I thought that they would give me this:

Just came from Towncenter. The price for a K800i is about 17k, whereas the Nokia phone is only 15k+! Alright! I was able to touch one from the Nokia store upstairs but wasnt able to really test it since they only have the physical unit and not a demo unit. Sad. It feels like the metallic clamshell they had before. Keypad's ok. Would have been more stylish if it were new though. I think what they had was the mettalic chrome, I want the brown/black combo.

The only difference is that one has video calling...

BODYJAM 41 SIZZLER

More and more people are dancing up a storm with BODYJAM™ and this new class is gonna hook in even more. Simple choreo from start to finish will open the door to more first-timers, while experienced Jammers get the authentic styles and breakout sensations they have come to expect.

Club sounds set up the warm-up and throbbing synths from Omarion line up perfectly with creative isolation work.

Then the brand new Oldskool style kicks in with a classic from the late great James Brown. The simple footstrikes in the add-on choreo allow you to focus on perfecting the Lock ‘N’ Pop combo.

“Soft, flowing and sexy” sums up the Latin track and the ultimate Ricky Martin experience. Then we rip up the dance floor with Basement Jaxx and Trash Jam – an all-new mash-up of Jazz, Krump and Hip Hop where you can go absolutely bonkers.

Ring the Alarm is another breakout number to start our House block. Get ready for an out-of-body experience with this remix of Beyonce – it’s like clubbin’ at 4am!

Fedde Le Grand keeps the party bouncin’ with his “Hands Up” gargantuan hit and you get to experiment with your hips to Gwen Stefani before breaking out again with JT and chillin’ out with super-cool Jay-Z.

Interview with Artemis Fowl

2007-05-01T10:44:00.000+08:00

source: http://www.artemisfowl.com/interview.html

Q. If you weren’t a criminal mastermind, what would you most like to do?

A. I think there is a lot of work to be done in the field of psychology. If I did not have my criminal plots to occupy my time, I think I would devote my energies to putting right some of the mistakes made by misters Freud and Jung.

Q. What do you really think of Captain Holly Short?

A. I have immense respect for Captain Short and I often wish she would come over to my side, as it were. But I know she never will. She has too many principles. And if she ever lost those principles, perhaps I would lose my respect for her too.

Q. You have traveled a great deal. Where is your favorite place in the world, and why?

A. My favorite place in the world is Ireland. As the fairy People say, it is the most magical place. Its landscapes are the most inspirational in the world. And the people are witty and genuine, though we do have a dark side.

Q. What was your most embarrassing moment?

A. I once scored a mere ninety-nine percent on a mathematics assignment. I was mortified. I had forgotten to round up the third decimal place. Imagine my embarrassment.

Q. What is your favorite book?

A. My favorite book this week is The Lord of the Flies by William Golding. It is a fascinating psychological study of a group of boys stranded on an island. I can’t help thinking that if I had been on that island, I would be running the place in a week.

Q. What is your favorite song?

A. I rarely listen to popular music, with the exception of David Bowie, who is quite a chameleon. One never knows quite what to expect. I think Bowie is a fascinating individual and I am thinking of approaching him with a scheme of mine for rediscovering a lost Mozart opera, which, of course, I have written. My favorite song of Mister Bowie’s is “It’s No Game, Part 2,” from the Scary Monsters CD.

Q. What keeps you awake at night?

A. My plans. They run around my head at night, keeping me awake. There is one more thing that keeps me awake. Sometimes I feel bad about the things I have done. If this feeling of guilt strikes, I do a quick online check of my bank balance, and it soon goes away.

Q. What is your most treasured possession?

A. My most treasured possession is a cache of LEP equipment that Butler confiscated from a fairy Retrieval team. There are a thousand inventions in there that have never been seen by humans. These will be my retirement fund.

Q. Who is your best friend?

A. I believe that we agreed that this question would not be asked. If my enemies discovered who my best friend is, they could get to me through him or her. Let me just say that my best friend is never far away and has been with me since the day of my birth.

If I said it once, I'll say it only once. You may think that's so insensitive of me, but that's just the way I am. I've apologized and I know you were terribly disappointed, but I will not drop on my knees and slobber like a dog over your feet. Once is enough and I don't like nagging. I dont stand my own mother's nagging, neither from you.

2007-04-30T10:24:00.000+08:00

Hi friends!

I apologize for the delay in the posts. My PC crashed and I had to reformat it. I'm back and hopefully too, my posts would soon be regular. :-) Have a great week!

Banana Peel has now released its line of Flip Flops for Men. Had been wanting to have a pair of them ever since, they had cool designs for women and kids. So grabbing the opportunity, I immediately bought a pair.

And they're also throwing in a tribal necklace for free!

12-16 mars...

2007-03-17T06:52:00.000+08:00

... was definitely one long week for us HSBC employees. We had just transferred to our new building in the Fort and working in Ortigas for more than five years had us adjusting to the new place big time. There are no immediate establishments around our building. Well actually walking to the area where Starbucks, Jollibee are located is an option. However there are no shades, no trees, no airconditioned walkways to make the stroll more enjoyable. The Fort Strip is a long long walk, as well as to Bonifacio High Drive. The nearest mall is Market! Market! Haven't been there before, will be posting some pics the first time I'll be there. Besisdes, its time consuming to go there. My officemate went there during her lunch break but they had to take a cab. Too expensive if I'll be doing that everyday.

Have some

Cupcakes by Sonja

Chocolate Surprise. Masarap ang icing, but I didnt like the cupcake itself. Mahina ang consistency. Madali syang mag fall down. Price is a bit steep, Php60.
