Baron Geisler is stupid

Now Baron Geisler filed graft cases against DOJ executives. The "sex-hungry-when-drunk" actor wants to buy time as if the justice system is full of drunk people like him.

Baron's lawyer, Atty. Bonifacio Alentajan, said that the DOJ official made a mistake in the decision to recommend the filing of acts of lasciviousness charges against his client because there was no element of force, threat, or intimidation. Now, that's classic

If a young lady decline to have sex with you and still insisted even you looked ugly and and a breath so awful and persisted to touch the girl's breast and curse the girl afterwards. What do you call that?

Now let me, simplify things altogether, is Baron stupid or moron?

WHY I CHOSE TO FIGHT PACQUIAO-DELA HOYA

Oscar De la Hoya initially thought he had already been there and done that.

Not until the thought of fighting Manny Pacquiao was raised to himlate last year that the Golden Boy realized that there was still one thing to be done: Fight and hopefully beat Manny Pacquiao,acknowledged as the worlds No. 1 boxer regardless of weight category.

"A lot of people ask me: Why did you choose to fight Manny Pacquiao?" De La Hoya wrote in his blog in The Ring website a few days ago and boxings top attraction had three reasons why he opted to sign up Pacquiao for their megabuck match on December 6 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

"The process went like this.I chose Pacquiao first and foremost because of the challenge.Manny Pacquiao is considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world today by experts. That is a challenge that motivates me"

"Second .I took the fight because of the fact that they called me out. I always take it as a challenge when you call me out.I'm going to respond to it.I'm going to react to it. And, third, this is a worldwide event. You have the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world and you have the most popular fighter in the sport in world in my self." De La Hoya said.

The idea of a De La hoya- Pacquiao fight was first raised by HBO boxing analyst Larry Merchant during his regular discussion with ESPN fight scribe Dan Rafael.

NEW MOON

When the Earth sun and moon are nearly in a straight line, with the moon in the middle,we have a new moon. As a general guide, the new moon is a good time to start new things, things that need time to develop.

Do your ritual either during the new or full moon. The difference is in your meditation and mental attitude in preparation. The new moon is a time of outward work and thought, building to the peak of the full moon.

Positive and negative is not the same as good and bad. Inthis sense, the full moon and the waxing moon are good times for positive desires. The waning moon and new moon are good times for removal of negativity.

Knowing the moon phases can help you plan and prepare for change, new beginnings and endings. Rituals can be enhanced by using the moon and its cycles for specific purposes. Having a goal can greatly affect the outcome of your rituals. Working with the moon's energy increases your own personal power and supports your intention.
We always see the same face of the moon because the moon's day is tha same length as its year.

This is because the moon's rotational period is the same as its orbital period. The phases of the moon, or its different shapes, are caused by the different angles from which we see the litpart of its surface. Half of the moon is always bright; we just cannot always see all its illuminatedparts.

The next full moonis on Dec.15,2008. The actual ritual for a fullmoon will depend greatlyon the focus you chose. New moon starts exactly when the moon is under the umbra or shadow of the sun , up to the fifth hour of its total darkness.

FULL MOON

The moon and the sun are in opposition , and starts exactly at its fullest up to the fifth hour.

The entire moon is bright.When the Earth, sun and moon are nearly in a straight line, with the Earth in the middle, we have a full moon. The full moon is the best time to announce new things, especially things to do with our emotions. This is also an ideal time for rituals and other spiritual celebrations and events. A full moon symbolizes a happy home life when moving to a new house.

'LUNA MYSTIKA'

Heart Evangelista launching of her new and first "tele-fantasya" entitled "Luna Mystika" at GMA 7's Studio 5 recently.

played by Heart Evangelista .Luna is a kind-hearted girl born with facial marks people get shocked of. While Celestina is her "shadow twin" .Both are the result of a love affair between a woman and an ugly man suspected to be an "engkanto" or a mythical creature.

Despite the mystery that shrouds from an enchanted giant tree.The fruit made them realize their real roots.Moreover when the moon shines brightly Celestina transforms into a beautiful woman while Luna becomes the background. They return to their normal state during daytime!

GO 4 DIVAS

It took five years to put the projects together.It seemed impossible at times to make the schedules of four smart,busy,awesome,divine divas meet. Just as difficult to get a common playdate,or a suitable venue.

It was Kuh Ledesma's initiative to make them dreamof getting Zsa Zsa,Pops Regine and herself together in a concert come true. They had all done collaborative efforts in two's together before-Kuh and Zsa Zsa in "Diva 2 Diva" episode, Kuh and Regine in "Power of Two." But never the four of them together.

Now the four divas are singing together,swinging together and walking briskly towards their joint concert at the Araneta Coliseum on Dec.6,2008.

The little prince

In The Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry talks about being marooned in the desert in a damaged aircraft. Without doubt, this account was drawn from his own experience in the Sahara. He also writes about this ordeal, in detail, in his book Wind, Sand and Stars.

On December 30, 1935 at 14:45, after an 18 hour and 36 minute flight, Saint-Exupéry, along with his navigator André Prévot, crashed in the Libyan Sahara desert en route to Saigon. They were attempting to fly from Paris to Saigon faster than anyone before them had for a prize of 150,000 francs. Their plane was a Caudron C-600 Simoun n° 7042 (serial F-ANRY). Supposedly, the crash site is located in the Wadi Natrum. Both of them had survived the crash, but they were then faced with rapid dehydration in the Sahara. Their maps were primitive and ambiguous. Lost in the desert with a few grapes, a single orange, and some wine, the duo had only one day's worth of liquids. After that day, they had nothing. Both men began to see mirages, which were quickly followed by more vivid hallucinations. Sometime between the second and the third day, the two were so dehydrated that they stopped sweating altogether. Finally, on the fourth day, a Bedouin on a camel discovered them and administered native dehydration treatment that saved Saint-Exupéry and Prévot's lives.

In the desert, Saint-Exupéry had met a fennec (desert sand fox), which had most likely inspired him to create the fox character in the book. In a 1918 letter that he had written to his sister Didi from Cape Juby, he tells her about raising a fennec that he adored.

Patachou, Petit Garçon, by Tristan Derème, is another probable influence for The Little Prince.[7]

Antoine may have drawn inspiration for the Little Prince's appearance from himself as a youth. Friends and family would call him "le Roi-Soleil" ("Sun King"), due to his golden curly hair.

you must watch this anime...
I like L lawliet and NEAr his successor..

This anime series seems to be horror at first because of its dark graphics and the setting as well. But everytime you will finish an episode you will be interested to know what's next or else it would be "bitin"! hahaha
Yagami Light vs. "L"

I love the battle of minds of these two characters.
Their logics are amazing and accurate. Wow.. That's the thing that keep me watching it till the end.

A realization came into my mind in the END.. I was thankful that light had failed to be the God of the new world. Near is the best successor of L..hahha

Even though you have the death note thinking it for a good intention still it came from evil so you are not uppose to use it for your own like what light did. Good will still win in the end. Only God can get life because he's the one who gave it. alright! It's not only a anime of action and suspense but also with value if you can realize it too. watch this anime then you will see! watashiwa L desu..hahaha

iPoddicted!

I really love music so when the iPod shuffle came to my life, it made me go crazy inside and just so happy for my first music portable device. What is an iPod by the way?

The iPod Shuffle is a digital audio player designed and marketed by Apple Inc (as iPod shuffle). It is the budget model in Apple's iPod family. It was announced at the Macworld Conference & Expo on January 11, 2005, using the tagline "life is random." Instead of storing data on a hard disk, it was the first iPod to ever use flash memory. The current second generation model weighs about 15 grams (0.55 ounces). It was introduced in September 2006 along with the revamped fifth generation iPod Classic and the second generation iPod Nano. The iPod Shuffle is the smallest device made by Apple.

Global warming 101

Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century, and its projected continuation.

Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the 100 years ending in 2005.^[1][2] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations"^[3][4] via an enhanced greenhouse effect. Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with volcanoes probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950 and a small cooling effect from 1950 onward.^[5][6] These basic conclusions have been endorsed by at least 30 scientific societies and academies of science,^[7] including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.^[8][9][10] While individual scientists have voiced disagreement with these findings,^[11] the overwhelming majority of scientists working on climate change agree with the IPCC's main conclusions.^[12][13]

Climate model projections summarized by the IPCC indicate that average global surface temperature will likely rise a further 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) during the twenty-first century.^[3] This range of values results from the use of differing scenarios of future greenhouse gas emissions as well as models with differing climate sensitivity. Although most studies focus on the period up to 2100, warming and sea level rise are expected to continue for more than a thousand years even if greenhouse gas levels are stabilized. The delay in reaching equilibrium is a result of the large heat capacity of the oceans.^[3]

Increasing global temperature is expected to cause sea levels to rise, an increase in the intensity of extreme weather events, and significant changes to the amount and pattern of precipitation, likely leading to an expanse of tropical areas and increased pace of desertification. Other expected effects of global warming include changes in agricultural yields, modifications of trade routes, glacier retreat, mass species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors.

Remaining scientific uncertainties include the amount of warming expected in the future, and how warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but there is ongoing political and public debate worldwide regarding what, if any, action should be taken to reduce or reverse future warming or to adapt to its expected consequences.

An Inconvenient Truth - Al Gore

Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world's scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced.

If that sounds like a recipe for serious gloom and doom -- think again. From director Davis Guggenheim comes the Sundance Film Festival hit, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, which offers a passionate and inspirational look at one man's fervent crusade to halt global warming's deadly progress in its tracks by exposing the myths and misconceptions that surround it. That man is former Vice President Al Gore, who, in the wake of defeat in the 2000 election, re-set the course of his life to focus on a last-ditch, all-out effort to help save the planet from irrevocable change. In this eye-opening and poignant portrait of Gore and his "traveling global warming show," Gore also proves himself to be one of the most misunderstood characters in modern American public life. Here he is seen as never before in the media - funny, engaging, open and downright on fire about getting the surprisingly stirring truth about what he calls our "planetary emergency" out to ordinary citizens before it's too late.

With 2005, the worst storm season ever experienced in America just behind us, it seems we may be reaching a tipping point - and Gore pulls no punches in explaining the dire situation. Interspersed with the bracing facts and future predictions is the story of Gore's personal journey: from an idealistic college student who first saw a massive environmental crisis looming; to a young Senator facing a harrowing family tragedy that altered his perspective, to the man who almost became President but instead returned to the most important cause of his life - convinced that there is still time to make a difference.

With wit, smarts and hope, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH ultimately brings home Gore's persuasive argument that we can no longer afford to view global warming as a political issue - rather, it is the biggest moral challenges facing our global civilization.

Paramount Classics and Participant Productions present a film directed by Davis Guggenheim,
AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH. Featuring Al Gore, the film is produced by Laurie David, Lawrence Bender and Scott Z. Burns. Jeff Skoll and Davis Guggenheim are the executive producers and the co-producer is Leslie Chilcott.

Anime Otaku

Anime is one of the popular interest of the youth and kids today but also adults can be hooked on watching anime's. Anime' is originated in Japan. Characters are usually in a round and big eyes which is ironic to the image of Japanese people.

Different stories are genre of anime' series. Usually adventure is the theme of anime series. Fantasy will also do because magical characters are usually in these charaters. Some times it has hilarious acts which really made me laughing out loud. It is very entertaining! if you are an artist, you will appreciate anime series. You will also learn to speak in nihonggo.

Ok I will admit I'm an anime' fan! hahaha! watashiwa Otaku!

American idol season 7 finals

From American Idol's disappointing, ratings-deficient season premiere back in January, all the way through to Tuesday's disappointing, ratings-deficient pre-finale, critics have been writing eulogies for the show's influence and forecasting its inevitable slip from Zeitgeist-capturing juggernaut to something you'd only watch if your Wii were broken. "Ridiculous!" others claimed, presumably in unison. "Sure, it's less of a hit than it used to be — but it still draws at least 20 million viewers per episode, meaning it's still way more popular than pretty much anything else!" But what if Idol's biggest problem isn't the people who've stopped watching, but the ones who still are?

Nonconformist cock-rocker David Cook's surprise landslide victory over the more-orthodox presumed winner David Archuleta suggests that a majority of even the fans most engaged with Idol (i.e., the ones voting) might finally be sick of the show's long-standardized forms and conventions. For the first time, a nontraditional contestant who never once compromised his love for the dour, morose post-grunge of the mid-to-late nineties has been named a season's victor. And the fact that he beat Archuleta — the living embodiment of everything the show's ever been up to this point — is a clear sign to producers that it's probably time to change the formula.

Despite our (half-)joking assertions that Cook is a balding, Philip Seymour Hoffman–esque caterwauler, we don't think he's such a bad guy (or even an untalented guy!), just an unrepentant fan of a musical genre completely inconsistent with Idol's pop pedigree, and one which most reasonable earthlings have happily purged from memory. (No, Chris Daughtry's success doesn't disprove this; his singles are actually pretty catchy.) How many voted to hear him sing more Collective Soul songs (and why didn't those same people buy the album Collective Soul put out last year?) and how many voted because he's a good-natured, telegenic antithesis to the bloated, aimless corporate monster the show's turned into?

If the point of American Idol were to find front men for alt-rock bar bands, then why haven't they ever had a post-grunge night? (None of these bands are too busy to turn down an invitation, that's for sure.) No, it's historically been about sappy balladry, awful Andrew Lloyd Webber nights, and even more awful Mariah Carey nights. It's broad, cheesy, and aimed squarely at grandmothers and 13-year-old girls. Sure, it's had its share of maverick contestants, but they were either sent home in early rounds (Daughtry, Constantine Maroulis, Chris Sligh) or they rigorously tailored their arrangements and song selections to conform to the please-everyone pop format (Taylor Hicks, Bo Bice, Blake Lewis), and certainly none were ever so bold as to sing a Collective Soul song on the finale. But this year, for Cook, it worked; not because there's a post-grunge revival afoot (we hope!), or because he was the best singer (though, admittedly, he was probably the second-best), but because there's been a clear sea change in the show's fan base.

As for David Archuleta, he — like us — entered this season with the assumption that the rules of previous ones still held. He was a ruthless, steely-eyed competitor, turning in near-flawless performances (by traditional Idol standards) week after week. In any other year, he'd probably have claimed easy victory. Heck, the judges practically handed him the crown on Tuesday (for which they apologized to Cook last night). We'd like to think of his defeat as a clear-cut case of voters hating the game but not the player.

To his credit, Cook barely ever stumbled either; he, also, was responsible for a raft of memorable performances — just ones outside Idol's typical idiom. The fact alone that his inventive, alt-rock take on Mariah Carey's "Always Be My Baby" did not make us vomit is probably proof enough that he's a deserving winner.

And while the American Idol producers are likely celebrating this morning (ratings were actually up 3 percent over last year's finale!), we're sure it's not escaped their notice that the show's fan base is a grumpy one. Just God help us if they're considering adding a Collective Soul night to next season.

Thinking Positive

In every our everyday life, we have our own dillemas, frustations and struggles. We may think that we are such losers in our own story. Even worse for the person who can't accept it, commit suicide and go crazy.

There are different problems like financial (in general),peer pressure, failure, broken hearts, pating ways and many more. Sometimes we are just complaining in all these problems. But hey! Are we searching for the solution fot it? We say it all over again but not finding the right way to overcome this.

Everyone has a problem in different manner and situation. Let us not think we are only the one. Logically, Problems were created for it has a solution. Come to think of it. We don't just have sit and cry. Think positively and everything will follow. There many books about thinking in a positive way like "How to Suceed", "The secret", etc. They encourages the person be optimistic about anything.

Being optimist gives you a relief in every problem you encounter. Always bear in your mind that you have God. Your God is bigger than the problem. You must lift up everything to him then you will feel free and light. Everything is for a reason to happen. Think that it will outcome into a good result in the end after. What your mind will conceive your body will achieve. Believe and it will happen. Think positive!

Coco Sensation!

Colbie Calliat, one of the rising country singer, made an impact on the music industry of the new generation. Don't think that country songs are not popular.Country songs are not only for oldies but Colbie evolve it into modern but very sensational.

Rock music is not only the genre of music the youth are hook today if you're thinking in that way. Colbie made the music that is soothing and inspiring phenomenal not only for those who love acoustics but also to those who appreciate other music genre.

The release of her album Coco which has 12 tracks get into the limelight easily. Her song "Bubbly" made a hit in different top charts of song may it be international or local. It contributed a good job for our music industry. Way to go, Colbie!

Sarah Palin's full disclosure not that bad

Alaska governor Sarah Palin voluntarily told US presidential candidate John McCain's campaign about her pregnant teenage daughter and her husband's 2-decade-old DUI arrest during questioning as part of the Republican's vice presidential search.

Nobody is perfect. Really.
