GoodBye to London Olympics 2012: Closing Ceremony

Since this is my first time to become involve in Olympics by tuning in and followed the series of Swimming, it is like saying a big goodbye to the Olympics when I’ve watched the closing ceremony. I woke up early in the morning around 4:00 here in Manila just to watch it LIVE even though I know it for a fact that there is still replay on night time. There are some parts that I bothered to sleep especially on the middle of the event when the singers performed that looks like just a concert. Honestly it bores me not until the Spice Girls came though I haven’t seen much their start since I was napping. There are also scenarios that are quite irrelevant to the Olympics just like the fashion that they are promoting and sometimes I find it dragging as well on how they execute the other parts of event. Nevertheless I still appreciate how it was done because of the fireworks, how they close the torch, and especially the promotion of the future Olympics in Rio 2016. I can’t still stop the feeling and thinking of the comparison of the opening and closing ceremony of London Olympics to Beijing 2008 Olympics. To be honest I was expecting so much more with London Olympics just because of what I have seen in China before on how fabulous it was that is far better than London Olympics. If there was no Beijing Olympics then probably I would appreciate much more this London Olympics. But then my mom told me that London is lack of budget that is why it is like that. Though I told her so that even if they are lacking of budget they can still do ways to make their performances to become presentable. Example the little introduction of Brazil, it is not so much fabulous but with their simplicity by presenting the culture it already gives the meaning of the Olympics on how they are willing to accommodate the athletes on 2016. After the program of the closing ceremony I can’t believe that I have nothing to watch nor follow the games especially in swimming. Wishing that on Rio 2016 we can travel there so that of course we will witness the Olympics personally.

The Victory of Michael Phelps as the greatest Athlete or a Swimmer

Another person who made his country proud to the nation that gives inspiration to the people in terms of motivating them in sports especially when it comes to swimming. I believe Michael Phelps deserves to be the greatest athlete because he may have the purpose in life that encourages people and children into swimming which is also important thing to learn in our lives in terms of survival purposes. He could be as well the mentor of the future swimmers that he will teach the different fundamentals of swimming. We can learn some basic in swimming and we don’t actually need to become the greatest swimmer like Michael Phelps. I already saw his website wherein he has his own swimming school that is also located in other parts of states such as Maryland and New York. If I am going to have a kid someday and there will be an opportunity to stay in USA then probably I want my future kid to enroll in the swimming school of Michael Phelps because I believe there will be another different techniques to learn. 

Now it makes me realized that I need to finished reading his book which was "The Will To Succeed" that will also give me inspiration and learn how he became a successful swimmer.

Paolo Contis' Criticisms on PBB Teen#4 and MMK


The advantage of using the social media nowadays especially Twitter is that we can have an access to talk with many people including celebrities and other public figures. Many people would be able to read and see how the fans or admirers can be able to express their appreciation or admiration to their crushes and idols. The twitter is one of the sources in every issue about celebrities. Most likely it is about when people have read the negative or harsh comments of a public figure against another celebrity. It can be also when something strange happened to the celebrities like the couples were separated, divorced, celebrity fights and so on. Some people have the means to attack the celebrities that they don't like. Sometimes it can be something to ignore but there are times that it bothers the celebrities. 

         Browsing the facebook page on the usual Sunday afternoon, I've seen somebody posted regarding the criticisms of Paolo Contis about PBB Teen Edition #4 that was posted in Twitter last June 21.  Knowing the fact that he is an actor from the rival network GMA and watching a program from ABS-CBN then giving negative feedback about the show from the rival network, it is already understood that people would quickly react no matter if that is constructive or he has point at all. I believe he has the right and freedom to express what he wants regarding the show although he must be really aware about himself of being a public figure because he can't really avoid people who are sensitive and how they interpret each word that every celebrities stated on their post. The fact that twitter can be now seen by many people on how the celebrities converse to each other, then you wouldn't know that you are totally guarded by your fans, admirers, bashers, haters, gossipers and other people out there. I am not into taking sides but I hope Paolo would be careful in giving criticisms and his choices of words when he wants to give any feedback about the show especially from the rival network so that people won't give too much meaning about it. He could have express his negative criticisms privately not unless if he really wants media attention to become more popular, but then who knows? It is only an assumption. As for the viewers, witnesses, readers and twitter users, we really have to analyze and think before giving reactions quickly because there are times that you wouldn't know the consequences, sometimes it reflects in our personality on how we talk. On the other hand as what I've seen when somebody gave a reply to Paolo I think it is also harsh or foul and unfair at the same time of saying that he is a bobo because if you analyze his post it was not about referring a person but just the show itself. 
On the other hand as I observed to his tweets I believe he is sincere enough of having an appreciation of the story when he watched the Maalala Mo Kaya that was performed by Angel Aquino. I am not going to believe if he is playing safe already or having pampalubag loob because if you analyzed on how he posted he is just being fair in giving criticisms. I truly believe that he would give acknowledgement to the credibility of ABS CBN because remember he came from there for a fact that he is a former Ang TV kid and one of the cast of the original Mara Clara. Don't get me wrong I am not defending him because in the first place I've never been his fan. I am actually open enough to analyze his other side.

A magazine that MEN should also buy. Because DUDE! You must LEARN it from JOSEPH MARCO


The Men's Health Guy: JOSEPH MARCO for July's issue. Still month of June excited much to grab a copy?





        Women and beckys are not the only people who has the right to buy this Men's health magazine of July 2012 issue. If you are a guy who wants to be like Joseph Marco's great body then you should buy his Men's Health magazine as your inspiration on how he works hard before he achieved his goal. Hey! don't ever hesitate and think that you are a gay just because you are going to buy a magazine that the cool dude is on the cover, the point here is you must be also open minded person just like Joseph. You would also learn how the young man became matured person in the sense of how he takes things seriously and grabbing every opportunity, you will realized how he deserves those blessings. Joseph is a kind of person who is sincere to influence other people especially for a fact that he is now aware of being a public figure. 

      On the cover itself, honestly I am not that attracted much with his facial expression here especially for a fact that I like the way he smiles in natural manner, but then of course I like how his great body appeared on the cover. Surprisingly if you are going to read and look inside then Joseph has great appeal. The article is not the usual compare on the other magazines in the sense that they are always indicating his outfit when he came before the photoshoot. It was creatively done that sometimes you really have to think.  

Meet the New Golden Boy: JOSEPH MARCO on Garage magazine June 2012



I don't really know what makes me interested to know him more but seeing him in some scenes of Sabel was not yet the right time for me to become his fan. Why should I care about him if his looks is just my concern? LOL! But on my research and self discovery about Joseph I have no second thoughts to become his fan.I have a good impression to him that he is down to earth and a sincere person to help other people. He is religious and spiritually matured who values the word of God and of course he has positive attitude who wants to motivate not just himself but other people as well. What can you learn more about Joseph Marco?  









         Attracted on his looks on the cover of Garage magazine, learned that Joseph is not a product of any reality show. He is totally blessed of great opportunity of being discovered by the owner of advertising agency at Eastwood Mall. Being an actor is not really one of his choices but he really wants to become a basketball player wherein Michael Jordan is his idol. Joseph is now taking things seriously and looking forward to become a best actor. I HOPE SO! I want my idol to be awarded as best actor in leading role. I am now decided to support his shows even a movie. Even the fact that he didn't really consider to become an actor but then he is still open minded person to take things seriously. No wonder he is good in acting skills because he is also getting ideas by watching different movies as part of his review. He is also matured enough to appreciate every opportunity. 

          I am actually hesitated to buy his magazine, well yeah I don't know why because my mentality was to meet him in person first and the usual that I must join his fans club to know him more. But then the fact that I am totally interested then I have no second thoughts for grabbing the Garage magazine. I have no regrets because he is grateful for those people who are supporting him. Knowing the fact that he has reliable account on twitter and he is also replying on people even strangers and acknowledging his fans I've decided to send him message on twitter too. Though when I've started to message him on twitter it was not about my appreciation to him as his fan but I asked him if I can copy his healthy recipe. Joseph allowed me to do so and he even told me not to put any seasoning so that the taste will be all natural. By the time I bought his magazine which was the one that he is wearing yellow coat I told him that I have it already. I was browsing his website then I've noticed that there was a content that is different from what I've seen on the magazine which I think that is just a dummy so that people won't be able to read it. Since he has another kind of cover then I decided to buy another one that I thought that is also different cover. Honestly of course I have regret on it but learn my lesson as well. I decided to send message to Joseph's twitter again but I never thought that he would be that apologetic which is he doesn't need to do so. 


Mirror Mirror on the Wall who's the Fairest of Them All?


How much do you believe that beauty is your power? Do you really have to put other people in harm in order for you to save your beauty? Can you imagine kissing the lips of a sorceress? Who would be the real love interest of Snow White?  




      My first time in my life of watching movie at the cinema alone just because I felt irritated during that time so I really want to unwind or relax. I decided to watched the Snow White and the Huntsman just because I was attracted to the trailer. Since I am more into visuals then it was easy for me to understand the whole story. This movie is not the usual as you can see based on the fairy tale or any cartoons. In the first place this is not Snow White and the 7 dwarfs. It explains why the sorceress values the beauty. What I like about this movie is that the betrayal of Snow White's step mother was different or unique, by the looks you will be fooled. However I am confused if who would be Snow White's love interest. But honestly I would like it if she would for William the childhood friend of Snow White. Some scenes are predictable but nevertheless I still enjoyed the show. For real if Ravenna only wants beauty then she must be a friend of  Dra. Vicky Belo nowadays but then she shouldn't betray or else her power will not work at all hahahha!!!!

Because of the Half Price Frappuccinno in Starbucks it took me 1.5 Hours before I Claimed my Dark Mocha Venti

            After I went to job interview last Monday which was May 7 in Makati I am craving for something cold drinks that is also coffee. When I am about to ride a transportation along Ayala Avenue I just saw Starbucks in Security Bank Building. So I went there seeing that the line is not that terrible long especially when you are paying in cashier and I remember there is a promo that they are in 50% off when you buy drinks. I decided to order the Dark Mocha Venti which is Php185 for regular price but it became Php92.50 which is not totally bad. As I thought I could claim it like within 5 to 10 minutes I am hearing other people complaining that they finally claimed it after an hour or more. I keep on asking the barista if I can claim it already but he told me that is going to be so long since he have seen my receipt that my claiming time is 5:08pm. It was terribly long time that I waited for 1 1/2 hour just to claim my drink. I want to eat first but I am craving for Pizza Hut so it came to the point that I became hungry but not too much. I am hearing and seeing people on how they were dismay and being tempered of what happened. But I myself didn't attempt to be harsh because I understand the situation. It is hard that there were too many customers then the cups were lining up, it is not easy to mix ingredients in the first place. So of course I was patient for waiting since I am going home already and I don't have other appointments. I've seen a lot of people carrying by bags like they ordered 4 drinks which is the maximum limit for each customers.
