Barangay Ginebra’s “Never give up” Spirit

I’m so happy last night because Ginebra won the championship game. They have a great game because their opponent (Air 21) is a good team too. It’s a best of 7 game and the first game was taken by Ginebra while the second and third was taken by Air 21. Then Ginebra looses one of its players (Helterbrand) because of an injury and everybody thought that they have a big chance of loosing thing the championship. They’ve won the fourth game and that made the standing 2-2 and then their opponent won the fifth game. But Ginebra showed that they are determine to win the championship and won game six and seven. They really deserve to win the champion ship because they’ve shown their “Never give up” attitude because they’ve fought ‘till the end and most of their player are in pain. Erik Menk did a great job in the third quarter of the game and Alexander did a good game too. Who would have thought that they will be the champions for this league because their standing during the first part of the league is 0-5 but they did not give up and they were able to win the championship. I’m not a basketball fan but I enjoyed their game. I watched it since championship’s game one to seven and all I can say is congratulations and you guys deserve it!

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

I’m so excited to watch the next Harry Potter movie (Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince). I watch surfing the net and I stumble to Warner brother’s website and I watched its trailer. I wish it’s already November because it is set to release on that month. I’m a big fan of Harry Potter and all I can say is it’s a good movie. It is one of the best movies of all time for me.

PLOT: As Harry Potter begins his 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he discovers an old book marked mysteriously "This book is the property of the Half-Blood Prince" and begins to learn more about Lord Voldemort's dark past.

Alison Carroll is the New Lara Croft

I’m an Angelina Jolie fan myself. I’m a bit disappointed when I read an article in yahoo that there will be a new Lara Croft. Alison Carrol will be the new Lara Croft. She will be busy traveling the world to promote the latest Tomb Raider game.

"It's unbelievable how realistic [Lara's] movements are in Tomb Raider: Underworld and it's so gratifying to be able to use my years of gymnastic training to portray such a beloved character," Carroll said in a press release.

Francis M has Leukemia and Needs Blood Donors

I’m not exactly a big fan of Francis M. But I felt sad when I heard that he’s diagnosed with leukemia. I always watch Eat Bulaga and who would have known that he is sick. He needs blood donors. I’ve read that they are accepting donors that have blood type “O” and patelets. For those who are would like to donate, all you have to do is to go to The Medical City hospital in Ortigas and it’s in the lower ground level in the name of Francis Magalona. Please let’s help the Master Rapper. Master rapper is the son of local matinee idol Pancho Magalona and actress Tita Duran, Francis created his own mark in the entertainment industry as a rapper-performer when he released his debut album, Yo! back in 1990. The said record spawned the massive nationalistic rap hit song "Mga Kababayan," which in effect introduced Pinoy style rap music in the mainstream.

Old Woman

I was on my way home from work when I saw this old woman asking for a little help from those busy people that doesn’t even care to look at her. I stopped to check her out and because I think that she’s really in need I gave her 100 pesos (well that’s the only amount I can afford that time). She took my hand and said “thank you” that moment I felt that she’s really in need. I know that money is hard to earn these days but I don’t think that it is right not to share it to those people who are in need. Most of us usually think that they are just asking for money to spend on things that they don’t need. All I can say is, ask your self, “What if they really are in need?” and “What if that person is hungry?” Some of us would say that those people should get a job. But I don’t think it applies to elderly people. I don’t think they deserve to be neglected. I just wish that our Government would do something about it. Let us put our selves in their shoes and probably we will be able to understand those people.

Searching for an old Friend

I remember my friend back when I was ten years old. We are always together and then one day they moved to another location and I’ve never seen her since then. We liked to play a lot. Every afternoon we always play and sometimes I help her with her studies. She’s Korean and her name is Era Lee. Her brother’s name is Solomon. My mom worked for her family that’s how met each other. I always hang out them and I remember going to their church and I was so bored because all of them are Koreans and I know nothing about their language. She’s the same age as I am so she’s already 24 this year and I’ve heard that she’s already working in Makati (that’s what they’ve told me). I’m trying to locate her so that at least I can continue to stay friends with her and so we will be able to communicate with each other. Her family used to live in Marilag Street in UP Village.

Heath Ledger’s Stunning Performance as “Joker”

I am a fan of batman since I was a little girl. Of course, I only like batman and no one else. But let’s see… I’ve read that the latest movie Batman “Dark Knight” has a good review in an article in CNN.com. When I said I only like Batman is because, I’ve read that Heath Ledger has done a fantastic job playing the role of Joker. I know that Heath Ledger is a good actor and he became one of my favorite when he starred in “A Knights Tale”. But I want to watch him in “Dark Knight” because I became interested to see how he carried the role of Joker.

Celebrating Father's Day

I don’t have a father anymore but it doesn’t mean that I won’t be able to celebrate Father’s day. Want to know what I did? First thing in the morning I went to church for the weekly mass. I prayed for my dad and family went to the mall to have a good time. When my dad is alive, we usually go to malls and we spend all our time watching movies every weekend. That is why we went to the mall, to be able to feel what he usually does to us. To be able to remember how it feels to be loved by my dad is already enough and that is something that I am thankful. Those people that are fortunate and still living with their parents, you are so lucky that you have the chance to feel their love longer that what I have experienced. And this will be a great time to show them your appreciation. Not only during these occasions, but show them or let them feel that you love them every single day.

Safety Tips on Walking After Dark

To all of us, it is never safe to walk after dark. I mean all kinds of bad things might happen and we all want to avoid it. When I was working, my schedule was night shift and during those times I was always nervous walking out on the streets. I get used to it but I looked for some tips on how it can be safe walking after dark.

TIPS ON STAYING SAFE AFTER DARK:

• - Be visible. Use reflective clothing and accessories that will make it easier for motorists to notice you.
• - Walk on sidewalks all the time, be careful on alleys because this is where some vehicles may appear unexpectedly, and pay attention to headlights.
• - Carry a flashlight for you’ll be able to see better and others will see you better too.
• - Beware of bad guys and to do this, you’ll have to look tough. Try to wear a shirt that has a police or military logo and walk with confidence.
• - Never walk on an exact route on the same time every day.

Thoughts of Friendster

Most of the people us are into friendster. All of my brothers and sisters had their own account even my youngest brother who is only 12 years old. I was wondering what is with friendster and why most of us are into it. I guess, you’ll be able to meet people all over the world. Meeting people is really fun. I have my own friendster account but the only thing was the friends listed on my account are those people who really are close to me. What I mean was I’ve known them not through friendster (lol). Friendster is fun because you’ve get to upload pictures and that’s what I love about it (lol). I found some of my old friends whom I never met for a long time. What else, I have fun looking on my friend’s pictures. I guess most of us have different kinds of reason why we joined friendster but for the most part it’s all about meeting people.

Save on Gas

Nowadays budgeting money is a very tough job. We need to make sure that our money will last till our next payday. But sometimes if we have a car we tend to ride a bus or a train to our office instead because it will save us money. So, what is the sense of having a car then? It will be great if we can use our car and save up money the same time. We’ll avoid riding in a very crowded bus or train and we’ll be able to save up. I found this article which can help all of us and I hope that you’ll be able to find these tips helpful.

1. Don’t be idle. A big no-no: letting the engine run, with the air conditioning on, while waiting or parked. That’s actually more wasteful than restarting the engine. So, if you have to wait more than a minute, open the car windows and turn the engine off. In the same way, make your warm-ups short. Half a minute is long enough, so drive off.

2. Don’t be fast and furious. Don’t rev up your engine, even if you think you’re Vin Diesel. And be gentle on the brake and gas pedals. Hard stops and fast starts waste fuel.

3. Gas up properly. Buy gas at cooler hours, like early morning or at night, to reduce gas evaporation. Also, avoid buying higher octane gas than necessary. And don’t overfill the tank to prevent evaporation.

4. Don’t be a drag. Take out stuff you don’t need from the backseat or trunk. Every extra 100 pounds of excess weight reduces fuel economy by 1%-2%.

5. Take care of your tires. Make sure your tires are properly inflated; otherwise it will take your engine more effort and energy to run. It’s costly too, adding six percent to fuel consumption for every pound the tire is under inflated.

6. Tune up. Get a regular tune-up as recommended by your car manufacturer. That includes changing your oil and filters regularly, to keep the engine running smoothly. Poorly tuned engines increase fuel consumption by 10%-20%.

Our Fiesta

It’s fiesta in our Barangay last Sunday. I never get to experience our fiesta last year because of my job so I am so excited this year. We are so busy all morning to preparing foods because every fiesta everyone will visit your place so you better have plenty of food for those who will visit your place. We have parlor games for kids and we also have some events. In our place we had a dance contest where all teenagers compete with one another, then we had a singing contest, and then we had a beauty contest which is very exciting because one of friends was a contestant on that pageant which makes me so busy. I haven’t had enough sleep since last Saturday because of those events because it only happens once a year that’s why I don’t want to miss it. Well you see, during these days I noticed that all of us are happy and we forget all our problems. All we do is to welcome those people who come in to our house and we serve them food. I mean why, can’t we all care about everyone like that everyday. Why do we have to wait for a fiesta before we show to everybody that we care about them or maybe we are just showing off because it’s fiesta. I mean that’s our tradition and yes we can never change that. But, what I want to say is it will be better if really care for other people everyday and not just for a day. Yes, all of us in our place had a good time celebrating our fiesta. But I wish that all of us will learn to care for one another not just for a day but forever.
