Sunday, July 11, 2010

YOU'LL NEVER LOOK AT DINNER THE SAME WAY

People Wake up! even if you are not in America, we have to prevent this to have in our country.

This awesome realistic and important documentary tells us about sources of US foods and ways corporate/factory farms bred their animals, fruits and vegetables. This will also tells us the effect of those foods to the workers and consumers

The film took three years to make.Director Kenner claims that he spent large amounts of his budget on legal fees to try to protect himself against lawsuits from industrial food producers, pesticide and fertilizer manufacturers, and other companies criticized in the film.


Awards

The film tied for fourth place as best documentary at the 35th Seattle International Film Festival.

Imeem sucks NOW... Grooveshark Rocks!

Wednesday, July 7, 2010

Imeem is the coolest online streaming music then. While I am studying or surfing the internet, I visit the site because I can listen to a whole playlist or album. After this, I am interested to buy cds.

Easy interface and fast streaming songs.


On December 8, 2009, this bullshit social networking site called MySpace acquired this my beloved music site. I can't really tell if MySpace saved Imeem from bankruptcy or they just want more profit. Imeem doesn't look like it is going to be bankrupt.

For months, I am not interested in other music sites because they have a complicated and unattractive interface. The streaming is also slow.

Today, while I am reading a document on my pc, I am looking for an online streaming music site and then I found GROOVESHARK.


 
Attractive and a friendly-user interface w/ fast streaming like Imeem

I am happy that GROOVESHARK exists. Now I can enjoy listening to online music again.



The Aquarium Channel

I don't know if there is still Aquarium Channel in other cable providers in the Philippines but I am curious on how this channel can really earn profit. Is it an affiliate/subsidiary of a cable company?

I watched this channel when I was a kid. I am enjoying myself watching this because we didn't have an aquarium back then.


Do this channel really have sponsors? This can be used as props for visitors and a stress reliever especially if you have a 3d television.

Chiyo Okumura (奥村 チヨ) - Epic music video

Thursday, July 1, 2010

Chiyo Okumura is a popular Japanese pop singer and former fashion model who debuted in the 1960s.
              - Wikipedia

It is better than Koi no Dorei (Slave of Love). This video is in 1970s.

I love her singing style and this music video is so simple. Even without the drama/unnecessary scenes, this is so outstanding.

Noynoy (PNoy) the 15th president and Binay Inauguration

I first saw on the inauguration coverage the part when President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (GMA) and President-elect Benigno Aquino III (Noynoy/PNoy) greeted each other and rode inside the luxury car. ( I don't give a shit what kind of car and I wonder how did they manage to be plastic to each other. I think they talked about corruption and her appointed officials).

President GMA and Noynoy stood each other first on Quirino Grandstand before they separate. With the entrance of Noynoy to the stage, comes Jejomar Binay coming from his (electrical jeepney) E-jeep. He looks cool there.

Charice Pempengco sang the national anthem and I am glad she gave it justice. I am sure that the National Historical (Hysterical) Institute will not criticize her.

It seems that Noynoy and Binay are really friends because of how they chat even when singers are performing.

I missed the APO for their nice songs and I am glad they performed also today. Noel Cabangon has the longest stage appearance among the singers so he can fill the remaining time to the exact inauguration schedule which is 11:30 to 12 ( exact oath of the president ).

Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile read the Congress' proclamation of Noynoy and Binay. Mr. Enrile's mind is sharp and he looks healthy in spite of his old age.

At 11:40 ( I don't know if it is exact), the now vice president, Jejomar Cabauatan Binay took his oath and it was administered by Associate Justice Conchita Morales-Carpio.

At 12,  Noynoy took his oath and it was also administered by the same associate justice.

His inaugural speech is about fighting corruption and injustices. He wants a change like the Filipino people. My favorite is he promised there’ll be no “wang wangs” (convoys of stupid officials that use sirens to be given way on roads) and “kotongs” (bribe). He also promised to be a good example and proved it by being on time for the ceremony and stopping on stop lights and not using “wang wangs” for his convoy.

Best of all, I love that he said  "Sa mga nang-api sa akin, kaya ko kayong patawarin at pinapatawad ko na kayo. Sa mga nang-api sa sambayanan, wala akong karapatan na limutin ang inyong mga kasalanan."

and " There can be no reconciliation without justice."

I think his inauguration has the largest crowd compared to the past presidents because those people are Ninoy and Cory supporters while others are sellers of the Noynoy merchandise.

Nevertheless, people (including me) are still optimistic about our country's future
