The First Philippine Mt. Everest Expedition team’s three female members (from left) Noelle Wenceslao, Janet Belarmino and Carina Dayondon share a light moment with teammate Pastor Emata before he, together with Leo Oracion, start their bid for first Philippine Mt. everest’s summit. When Noelle Wenceslao, Carina Dayondon and Janet Belarmino became the first Southeast Asian women to summit Mt. Everest and the first women in the world to traverse Mt. Everest from the North side to the South side, Himalaya didn’t seem to care. The country was rejoicing, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo sent a congratulatory message, and the Philippine Coast Guard prepared a heroes welcome for the three summiteers who had just been promoted from seawoman first class to seawoman third class. Himalaya, though, remains clueless. After all, he’s only five months old. His mommy Janet left two months ago to pursue her dream of conquering the world’s highest peak, and she did so with a heavy heart. In an

This explains why a team gets crazy sometimes because everyone got its own ideas. And when your boss is an idiot, he will kick your ass because he himself didn’t understand and blame it on you… (winks)

Hillary asks YouTube users for help on song

Image
WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton wants YouTube viewers to pick her campaign theme song — and the response, so far, has been music to her ears. In a clear appeal to young voters, a YouTube video asks viewers to vote for Clinton's presidential campaign theme song on her Web site. The contest started May 16 and the number of songs was narrowed to 10 on Thursday — five initially suggested by the campaign and five write-in candidates. They range from U2's "Beautiful Day" to Smash Mouth's version of "I'm a Believer" to Celine Dion's "You and I." "I want to know what you're thinking on one of the most important questions of this campaign," Clinton said in a mock-serious tone during the initial video. "It's something we've been struggling with, debating, agonizing over for months. So now I'm turning to you, the American people." More>>>

Environmentalist and former-US VP Al Gore’s office

Image
How will you describe environmentalist and former-US VP Al Gore’s office? You might picture out the typical VP office. But wait til you see Al Gore’s, and you will notice how gadget freak he is and how messy his office which tells us how busy and hardworking Mr. Al Gore is. You can see in the picture that he is working up with a triple-head 30-inch Cinema Display rig, Wow!!! And how about the Sharp HDTV in the right wall, Humanscale Freedom ergo-chair, and an iPod. Hmmm… it looks like my room but the difference is my room is only messy without those damn so good gadgets. (winks)

Hiyas ng Mindanao 2007 Pageant, Nilangaw sa Pageant Night?

I never thought it would turn out like that, but I think the promotions of the pageant are not done properly. So much talks about how prestigious the pageant is, but it didn’t turn out that way. One point why people didn’t support the pageant night is they put a high entrance fee, which is very unusual to Cagay-anons. People in Cagayan de Oro City used to watch pageant night like the Miss Cagayan de Oro for free, and here’s Hiyas ng Mindanao 2007, lay a price for everyone to watch it and at the end “nilangaw" lang ang pageant night. Only few people watch it, the candidates’ supporters and some sponsors’ personnel. Anyway, I hope next time lessons will learn and strategies will be made clearly.

Youngest elected mayor in the Philippines

Image
INABANGA, Newly elected Inabanga Mayor Jose Jono Jumamoy could be the youngest local chief executive to assume office in the country at only 21 years old. But for Jono, who was elected via a landslide victory over his opponent with over a margin of over 6,000 votes, serving the people of his hometown comes as a great responsibility even with his extensive exposure to local politics and his academic preparations. The US educated mayor-elect, son of Inabanga's former mayors, graduated with a double degree in Management and International Business at Northwood University in West Palm Beach, Florida. While Jumamoy admits he is a product of a political family, he says his decision to come home and run for mayor in his hometown came after finishing college in the US last November 2006. In fact, he disclosed, it was never an easy decision considering he was able to secure a working permit in the States and a position at the World Bank which he applied for was already at hand. &quo

The Camiguin Vacation Trip

Image
Isn’t it so nice to be in the place like you are in paradise? Two weeks ago, I was in Camiguin Island for a short vacation with my friends and even though we just spent two days there, the experience we had was awesome that we were like the contestants of the reality TV show “Amazing Race”. Actually, we don’t have itinerary route when we went there and we just went every possible place we can think of. The result, awesome great! And here are some of the pictures we took on our trip in Camiguin, the island born of fire, (sounds like a company born from lie?) Hehehe…

Saving The Best not for Last

This is so unusual because most of my blogging posts were written outside our home and I am here in my room, writing for this article on my blog. Mostly in the office, everytime I had time or bored at work, I will take a break to write a blogpost. It is not really make me unproductive everytime I wrote a blogpost at work. It’s just my leisure interest to cease my boredom at work. But now, I think all the boredom is in me, because I am now jobless and stayed at home. I didn’t plan to get employed yet this time, I’ll just make this moment a time to have a break and focus on my blogging life, since my blogging habit caused me an expensive mistakes. I think what happened to me last week was a lesson that I learned, I need to be tactful and reserve sometimes, though it is not really recommended to be tame always with people. In life, you need to fight for what you think is right for you. As what I've said before that I do things I want to do and if it works, GREAT! And if it’s not, fu

Freedom!!!

Escape, I know I made mistakes. I have my freedom but I do not have much time. Faith has been broken, tears must be cried. Let’s do some living after we die. I’ve never played monkey game for the sake of winning. I do what I want, if it works, great! If it fails fuck it. Don’t be a slave of success.
