Coming back... :D

I've been away for awhile. It was May 14 2013 when I had my last post published here in my blog. Guess I had been too busy from work. There's a lot of things going on and things I always wanted to do. Now I'm back... I have another blog that you might want to check which contains Filipino stories and I also feature writers and stories who and which are in the middle of fame.

Now I'm not sure yet what to post next. Well as a blogger I'll make it up with my readers and I'll try to post it in a bit. Yes, I missed a lot of things, news, events and places that I went to. Let's just think that there are still more days to come for me to get my feet back from where I stand.

Watch out for the new post...

Controversial Senatorial Candidates for the Win

Philippine Election 2013 is almost done. As of May 14 2013 09:09 AM, 67% election results have been processed. After few hours, we will have the final list. For days, weeks and months, there are a lot of speculations we heard for different candidates, and as the day comes for voting, a lot of issues arose in a sudden. As of the date and time shown above, the two most controversial senatorial candidates are on their way for victory.

Who will ever forget the Pagsubok question to Cynthia Villar aired on Febuary 23 2013? Everyone was shocked with the answer she threw without any hesitation. The question was "How can you reconcile your desire to help the poor at pagpanig niyo sa may-ari ng nursing schools na gusto sanang ipasara ng Technican Nursing Committiee at ng Ched?"And with the number of seconds provided for her to answer she directly answered, "Actually, hindi kailangan ng mga nurse na matapos ng BSN. Kasi itong ating mga nurse gusto lang nilang maging room nurse. Or sa America and in other countries e ano lang sila, yung parang mag-aalaga. Hindi naman sila kailangan ganoon kagaling." Most of the nurses swear that this lady will not ever step to the Senate, guess she's still on the go with 9,775,163 votes at number 10. 

Let's talk about confidence. Do you think you have what it takes to call for a press conference two days before the voting and dare all Filipinos not to vote for you instead to vote for someone else? Do you think you have the guts to decline a debate provided for the candidates to make them stand still? I bet you totally don't have but there is someone who did those, it's Nancy Binay. After a dream she had, which is being a senator, she called for a press conference and said to the press, "I am confident for my win and I dare all Filipinos who are thinking to vote me not to this coming Monday." She even said to vote for someone else but then again she thinks she will still come out the victor. Guess, she's right and her dream is almost there to come true. Binay ranks 5th with 11,730,988 votes. 

For the rest of the senatorial candidates who are on the go for the victory are listed below: 

1 Grace Poe - 14,424,177

2 Loren Legarda - 13,177,542

3 Alan Peter Cayetano - 12,479,972

4 Chiz Escudero - 12,479,416

6 Edgardo Angara - 11,355,279

7 Benigno Aquino - 10,904,736

8 Koko Pimentel - 10,457,336

9 Antonio Trillanes IV - 10,052,821

11 JV Ejercito Estrada - 9,704,884

12 Gringo Honasan - 9,368,907

Are you craving for a cheaper Windows phone? Your question will be answered in a few. Blackberry launched their Windows phone which is the Blackberry Z10, HTC and Nokia have Windows phones that are totally likable by the mobile addicts. If you are one of those who would like to grab a Windows phone but you can't because of its price, worry no more, because Huawei will get you on the go of what you want for only Php 8,900. 

Huawei launched Ascend W1 which is their first Windows phone. It is currently available all over the Philippines. This phone on its cheaper price still has competitive specifications that you need to make yourself comfortable using it. The 4 in screen phone uses the IPS technology for better viewing angles and for more accurate colors. It has 5 megapixel and VGA rear and front cameras. 

The internal storage is not that much for W1 which is only 4GB, but it can be expanded upto 32GB with the help of an external memory which is not common for a Windows phone. With its 1950mAh battery, it can last for 460 hours on standby. You can get one of these in a white or blue color and might have additional colors in the future. 

Before I end this, did I say that it kinda resembles the Nokia and HTC Windows phones? 

Bungee Jumping Accident

What is for you the best way to enjoy and have fun this Summer Break? Most likely, just simply sunny dipping on the beach with friends. Or maybe swimming and jumping on the beach or in the pool. That's kind a whole lot of fun for some, but there are people who would like to spend their summer in an extreme way. When I say, extreme, it's totally extreme like you will have goosebumps all over your body and you can feel the chill unto your bones. I was surfing the net and saw few videos of people having fun then suddenly it all went bad. One of which is bungee jumping.

Who will ever think that a bungee jump that they thought is 100% safe, can turn to a disaster. A lady fell unto the river after she jumped to experience the extreme bungee jump. That was 111 feet and to think it is a crocodile infested water but luckily she was able to swam safely and survived. You can see and hear her friends screaming and swearing but they can do nothing.

American Idol Season 12 Top 10 Revealed

The Top 10 of American Idol Season 12 was revealed tonight by the show host Ryan Seacrest. After several cuts, the Top 10 contestants finally survived the final cut to welcome them to the Live Shows. The host revealed the finalists by telling the contestants in a room that they made it through to the Live Shows. After revealing it to the contestants, they were brought to the stage to surprise the judges and the audience. These Top 10 contestants will get to perform on American Idol Season 12 nationwide tour this summer including a lucky wild card contestant as what announced by Ryan. The top 10 finalists are:

Amber Holcomb

Angie Miller

Burnell Taylor

Candice Glover

Curtis Finch Jr.

Devin Velez

Janelle Arthur

Kree Harrison

Lazaro Arbos

Paul Jolley

They will be the ones that will show America and the world that they deserved to be included on the list. Some people say that list is perfect but some say it's the worst list ever in the history of American Idol. Well, these results depend on the votes and the same for the succeeding live shows. 

All Fil-Am contestants were wiped out from American Idol Season 12 after Adriana Latonio got eliminated from the Semi Final. But it doesn't mean that Filipinos, as one of the avid viewers of American Idol, will stop watching this show. I believe they still have their own bet on who to win the Season 12 of American Idol. Hopefully, Adriana Latonio will be included to the World Tour in the Philippines for another warm support from the Filipinos. 

Do you think America made the right decision with the results? Who do you think will win the American Idol Season 12. Take time to vote on the right side of this page.
