7.0 Magnitude Earthquake strikes Haiti

UNITED STATES – Small town Haiti got rocked by a 7.0 Magnitude Earthquake earlier today. It was a surprise to all people in Haiti who are totally overwhelmed and shocked by the sudden strike of such powerful Earthquake.

I heard read about the news just moments ago, but the said dates back 6-8 hours based on the upload time of YouTube videos showing the destruction the 7.0 Magnitude Earthquake has caused. Haiti’s Capital Port-au-Prince is one of the most damaged locations. A witness, just 15 minutes away from the capital confirms the utterly devastating damage the earthquake has caused to the metro.

He was about to upload a beautiful picture of an Avocado that he sliced to show to his friends over the internet, prior the earthquake took place. The witness also revealed to the media that he wasn’t sure what was going on, and that it sounded like a train rocketed by the street. That, until he noticed the glass windows breaking and the his whole house literally rocking back and forth.

The epicenter of the Earthquake was just around 16 miles away from the said capital mentioned above.

Ice Skating Car storms the web

I couldn’t stop laughing at the Ice Skating Car that I have seen on Yahoo.Co.Uk. I just can’t help it but post the funny, yet dangerous event here on this blog.

It was for sure that YouTube had a copy of the Ice Skating Car, and I was not mistaken. So if in case, you have not seen the Ice Skating Car yet, it’s now your chance to have a look at it. I tell you, it may sound very dangerous and unentertaining for most serious people, but it’s still a funny thought what has happened there with the car and the people on board. Just wondering how they were able to video the all event if it was scripted or really just mere coincidence.

Vampires control People’s Choice Award

Harry Potter fans are going to be bitter than ever, well, not exactly how many would figure it, but it was not only New Moon (from the Twilight Saga) that took control at the People’s Choice Award but other kinds of Vampires as well.

But of course, Twilight dominated among all the Vampire picks that reigned during this years People Choice Award with four trophies all in all. Including favorite franchise, movie and on-screen love team for the love triangle Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. While Taylor Lautner, aside from being a top earning teenage actor in Hollywood got an award of his own as the breakout male actor.

True Blood”, an undead HBO fable and the supernatural CW series “The Vampire Diaries were slected as favorite TV obsession and favorite new TV drama, respectively.

Vampires and their likes really shined during the People’s Choice Award, but they are not the only ones. Humans, in the form of Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and more got a share of the spotlight in their respective fields which we’ll discuss in a later post.

Cebu Pacific Special Child Discrimination

GMA News’ 24 Oras reported that a mother by the name Mylene Alcantara claimed to have been maltreated by the local airline firm Cebu Pacific for discriminating her special child.

Cebu Pacific Personnel that time, tried to explain to Mylene Alcantara that certain company policy allows only two special children to be on board on the same flight.

With that, Alcantara’s son wasn’t the only one. A kid with down syndrome has already boarded the plane.

It would not have been such a big issue, aside from the hour delay before they were allotted to board the plane, but it was a big humiliation in front of the other passengers who knew nothing about what was going on and might have suspected her to be a criminal which is very discriminating and humiliating.

She is now looking forward to have a law suit act for her and her son’s justice after the humiliating act.

Cebu Pacific at the other end already expressed their apology towards Alcantara and the other passengers that have been affected.

It’s very sad to hear news like the one above, and I don’t know what to say and think about anymore. I can only hope and pray that the issue will resolve peacefully sooner than later before this becomes something bigger.

I’ve never had problems flying with Cebu Pacific, and their staff seems to be very friendly (cute, and sexy at times) too. Did you had any inconvenience flying Cebu Pacific Air? via [GMA News TV]

“I Love You, Goodbye”, A Completely Unsuited Film

So for the 2009 Metro Manila Film Festival, I decided to see a Star Cinema movie.  Over the years, I have always watched Regal Films’ entry especially if there is a Mano Po installment available.  But for this year, I decided to be swayed by my curiosity and spent 160 PhP to see a grown-up Angelica Panganiban act in the silver screen.  And yeah, I was also after Kim Chiu who was seen by me for the first time act on TV.  (I know this all sound weird but I’m not an ABS audience so yeah, I hardly see these 2 act in movies.  Derek Ramsay was also a first but I never really was interested about him, and I just gratified my dislike by watching this film).

The story revolves around Lizelle (Angelica) who is now having a living-in relationship with a much older guy Adrian (Gabby) who portrayed the role of a topnotch cardiovascular surgeon in one of the high-end hospitals in the country, Makati Medical Center.  The first scene showed Lizelle, preparing for the much-awaited introduction to Adrian’s bitchy classic matapobre and manlalait mother portrayed by Ms. Liza Lorena.  Adrian and Lizelle go to the birthday party of the Mom which was also attended by Valerie (Angel Aquino), Adrian’s ex-wife and Issa (Kim Chiu) who is their daughter without their knowledge.  In their first meeting, the roles of the characters were already given clarity.  Valerie, a non-bitter-happy-for-the-ex ex-wife, Issa a classic I-will-never-accept-my-madrasta-maldita kind of girl and Lizelle who is a forever underdog who will do her best just for Issa and Adrian’s Mom to finally accept her as a new family member (but will obviously fail or else Kim and Liza Lorena will lose the challenges in their roles).

Issa is forced to live with Adrian and Lizelle as Valerie had to fly to New York for a certain function.  In Adrian and Lizelle’s home, Issa invited Gary (Derek) whom Issa just met and quickly developed an attraction for despite their 8-year age gap.  Prior to the dinner encounter of the 4, Lizelle has been already informed by her best friend played by Matet De Leon that her lover for 4 years Gary has already arrived in the country and has been searching for her.  Gary and Lizelle were also living-in partners and actually planned to board a cruise ship together and work in the ship as employees and eventually earn to establish a well-living family.  Unfortunately, Lizelle wasn’t able to board the ship with Gary because she experienced an anxiety attack the moment she was supposed to jump on the ocean (a requirement by the ship they were supposed to board).  She was rushed to the hospital and the attending physician she had been Adrian. Gary, who could no longer wait for Lizelle to fulfill all the requirements and get in left Lizelle and went with the cruise ship’s departure.  Gary’s parting knifed Lizelle’s heart who was promised thus expecting that she and Gary would be in the ship together and ended their 4-year relationship.  Adrian then meets Lizelle once more in the coffee shop she was working for and develops a friendship with Lizelle. Another classic thing–they became good friends then realized they are happy with each other and then became lovers.

When Lizelle finally met Gary in the dinner their family hosted for Issa’s guest, Lizelle finally connected the dots and realized that Gary has been only using Issa to make their worlds smaller as Gary said that he has been still very much in love with Lizelle.  Gary admitted this ploy when Lizelle and he met once more in the house that Adrian bought for Lizelle.  This could have worked.  However, for an average reasonable person, this is very hard to believe given that there were no presented instances wherein Issa and Gary met.  And how the hell did Gary think of using Issa to get closer with Lizelle when Issa just got home from the US 3 days ago according to what has been stated in the movie? I know that realistic stuff really happen in movies but that is just one major annoying loophole!

Lizelle tries to stay away from Gary and tells him that she does not love him anymore (which was a condition from Gary for him to stay away from Lizelle already).  Lizelle preferred Adrian who has already been giving her the kind of life she has always wanted without even having the need to work.  Gary halts stalking Lizelle and is wooed by Issa who looks desperate just to have Gary’s attention.  Lizelle concentrates on being a good wife for Adrian who suddenly became ornery and cold after getting a suspension from the hospital due to a complaint from an unsaved patient’s family.  He then goes to Singapore for a medical seminar and leaves Lizelle alone under the same roof with Issa who was being ornery as well because of Gary’s multiple rejections of her.

Lone Lizelle felt sad and decided to go to the Ilocos trip with her friend played by Matet De Leon.  She has already declined a previous invitation for the said trip but decided to catch the bus they were riding to Ilocos without knowing that Gary has already been invited by them since Lizelle left a vacant seat.  Lizelle was flabbergasted to see Gary but just decided to shrug him off.  When they came to their destination, Lizelle did her best to get a bus trip back to Manila in avoidance of Gary’s presence but of course, since this is an engineered move to make Lizelle and Gary click once more, there was no bus to Manila.  And alas, there was this drunk beach chill-out where Gary and Lizelle got to be comfortable with each other and got to talk about their past romance.  The next day, they were having fun in the beach and it all ended up to a lengthy snogging fest BY THE BEACH .  I am telling you, it was really disturbingly lengthy because there were scenes where Gary was already fondling and smooching Lizelle’s breasts.  I mean yeah, these two are real-life couples but I don’t think it was a very wise decision because it just gave people an idea how they do the “thing” in real life.  Or maybe I’m just really kinda off when it comes to such scenes on movies.  To Gary’s dismay, when he woke up the next day, Angelica was not already with them and has decided to come home to Manila.

Lizelle comes home to Manila with Adrian finally back from Singapore.  Adrian surprises her with a marriage proposal as his annulment case with Valerie has already been settled.  Lizelle is caught off-guard and puts the proposal on hold for the meantime.  The next day, Gary meets her in the house that she has been decorating and Gary also presents her a ring with a marriage proposal.  Lizelle burst into tears and accepted Gary’s proposal.  They plan to elope the next day and leave Adrian hanging.  Adrian thwarts their plans by reading Lizelle’s SMS inbox while she takes a bath.  Come meeting time of Lizelle and Gary in the bus station, no Gary shows up for Lizelle until she finally lost the patience to wait further and went back to Adrian again.

Due to Gary’s sudden disappearance, Lizelle accepted Adrian’s marriage proposal.  A day before their wedding day, an insurance agent came to see Lizelle in their residence informing her that she is the beneficiary of Gary’s insurance investments.  Lizelle then discovers that Gary died and the informant in his death certificate is her doctor-fiance Adrian who according to his own confessions to Lizelle–confronted Gary the day they were supposed to meet and due to unexpected twists of events, a reckless driver came into the scene and hit Gary badly as he tried to run away from Adrian.  Gary is badly injured and was rushed by Adrian to the hospital but because of the severity of the injuries, he came into the hospital dead-on-arrival.

THIS MY FRIENDS is the start of a very ugly ending from this supposed-to-be high-caliber movie given that it is directed by Miss Laurice Guillen.

The wedding of Adrian and Lizelle still pushed through and the next scene after that showed a pregnant Lizelle preparing for the launch of her restaurant with Issa and her mother-in-law SUDDENLY nice and supportive of her.  That was it.

I am already used to dull and disappointing endings in Philippine movies.  However, what dismays me more in ILY Goodbye is that it did not only have weird twists and overly unrealistic scenes–it also had very poor acting quality when it comes to the actors.  No wonder it did not win any of the acting awards.  This is such a huge surprise for me as I was expecting Mr. Gabby Concepcion to showcase his extreme acting skills in this movie as this is his comeback in the Philippine cinema.  Fine, his acting was decent but for someone like him, that was below par!  He just looked like someone who was playing in front of the camera, pulling off every heavy scene by yelling at Angelica or at Derek or at Kim.  Angelica, on the other hand is still tweetums when it comes to acting.  The role was calling for a mature role even though Lizelle is younger than Adrian.  Her acting in Princess Sarah years ago is even better than her acting in this movie.  I hope she gets over her teenybopper style.  I was not really impressed with her acting because all she did was to cry in every other scene or contemplate in the dark, etc.  Derek Ramsay… I still don’t know why he got chosen for the role.  Kim Chiu was okay but particularly, nasasayangan ako sa kanya because the role was not really that good.  And for the lengthy love scenes, I think it really attracted a lot of movie goers–even senior citizens who comprised a large fraction of the seats when we watched, I swear!  Another unrealistic thing that I had to point out–the love scenes.  I mean yeah fine, sex really does happen in real life but pure dry kissing (without tongues) and long caresses do not really happen in real life in instances AS LONG AS THOSE.  I mean seriously.  Ask anyone around if that happens!  Quoting the guy seated at the back of our seat, sana man lang nilagyan ng tonguing yung kina Angelica at Derek para kapani-paniwala. I mean a girl as hot as Angelica???  Gosh, only a saint would be able to resist!

Oh well, even this film is clearly unsuited and weird, it still hit the box office jackpot so yeah, it’s okay for Star Cinema.  I just hope they’d have better movies in the future.  :)

Why Should We All Be Excited For 2010

Personally, the year 2009 has been a very bad year for me.  I even think that “bad” is such an understatement.  It is definitely the WORST year that I’ve ever had in my whole lifetime.  The gravity of the bad things that happened to me this year is purely unbearable and there are so many regrettable things that I did this year.  So if you would ask how I’m feeling right now, I feel nothing but excitement for the end of 2009 (given that my year is becoming worse with all the deaths of people I know personally occurring now) and hope that 2010 will be a totally different year and would be conducive for a new vibe.

Biases aside, I think we all Filipinos should look forward to 2010.  Not only because it’s gonna start with a total bang with Ne-Yo, Paramore and The Killers having concerts during the first quarter of the year.  But seriously, I think this year has been entirely depressing not only for me but for all Filipinos as well.

Who would easily forget the nightmares brought to us by the night of September 26, 2009?  This is the night that Ondoy, the worst tropical depression the Philippines had to date started to drown possessions, investments, dreams and even lives of thousands of Luzon dwellers.  A few days after Ondoy, another typhoon accelerated in the form of Pepeng–which devastated thousands of people from the North of Luzon.

On November 23, 2009, 57 civilians were mercilessly murdered in the Maguindanao Massacre that happened on the fateful place of Amapatuan, Maguindanao.  This horrible event is still being mourned for by millions of Filipinos around the globe aided by the fact that there has been a very slow investigation of the said crime. A myriad of concerned bodies all around the globe also scrutinized the Philippine state for the seemingly flawed methods of investigation it has imposed with regards to the Massacre.  Eventually, cases against the suspects like Andal Ampatuan Jr. (a candidate for the mayoralty position in the said area) have been filed–which gives all of us a fighting chance that this hideous crime will be given the highly sought-for justice at the end of the day.  Here’s me hoping that this case really be treated accordingly or else many people will get mad.  This is really such a horrible crime. And the government should stop treating its constituents like morons who would take knee scrapes in exchange of innocent lives and shattered dreams.

On the same year, the Philippines has lost its number one fan in the form of King of Rap Francis Magalona [44 y.o.] and its democracy icon President Corazon Aquino [76 y.o.].  Our country also lost a remarkable film-maker and actor in the form of Mr. Johnny Delgado [61 y.o.].

On the worldwide scenario, it has also been a remarkable year for the deaths of numerous celebrities.  The world has lost its King of Pop Michael Jackson [50 y.o.] which is most probably the hugest shocker of 2009.  Some of the other people who have left us this year are Brittany Murphy [32 y.o.] (Clueless & Just Married), Stephen Gately [33 y.o.] (Boyzone), Patrick Swayze [57 y.o.] (Ghost & Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights), Daul Kim [20 y.o.] (South Korean Supermodel), Lucy Gordon [28 y.o.] (Spiderman 3 & Serendipity) and Chris Henry [26 y.o.] an American football wide receiver.   For a list of celebrities who passed away at 2009, click HERE.

At the moment of writing, the Philippines’ most active volcano, Mt. Mayon is at Alert Level 4 already and is claimed to be ready to blast hazardous lava and ashes in days.  The predicted eruption date is on New Year’s Day or a day after New Year’s Day.  Albeit the residents around the volcano have already evacuated days ago, the activity of the volcano is still strong enough to reach beyond the estimated boundaries of lava.  I guess the best thing we can do for our fellow countrymen living around the volcano is to offer them prayers that Divine Intervention makes the volcanic activities relatively weaker for damages in life and properties be minimal.  It can be truly easy to be apathetic when it comes to this matter especially if you are residing outside the affected area.  However, I believe that it is already the least thing we can do for our brothers and sisters residing there.  Of course I know that we can always say that we serve as safeguards for them by being able to donate relief goods and clothes to them after the disaster.  But if you come to think of it, saying a prayer will just take moments of our time and all our prayers combined with really mean a lot.  This is so much better than relying on the presence of future relief goods for we give these people a fighting chance that their lives and investments will be less harmed.

I am pretty sure that the difficulties and pains of 2009 aren’t exclusive to me and to the people who have been affected by the disasters and crimes of this year.  Let me not forget to mention that the economy of this year hasn’t been really favorable–given that many people are still unemployed or underemployed.  If you’re a regular visitor of supermarkets, you probably noticed that the carts of people nowadays have significantly decreased in contents.  People tend to buy more basic commodities now unlike before where people could still afford to buy extra stuff.  It just proves that everyone is currently experiencing financial crisis.

Well aside from the Pacquaio-Mayweather fight and the concerts that I mentioned earlier, there are a lot of exciting things to look forward to in 2010.  One of these things is the FIFA World Cup to be held in South Africa.  On June, we would be experiencing a partial lunar eclipse which will become a total lunar eclipse on July.  For a complete list of events to set on 2010, click this LINK.

And of course for Filipinos, we would be all experiencing the chance to elect new leaders of our state on May 10, 2010.  It is also going to be the first elections that will use the automation machines so I guess every registered voter is excited and very hopeful for a clean and peaceful election.  I hope we won’t be disappointed.

The year 2010 in essence is the materialization of the new beginning that we have been all waiting for.  It is the new chance for us to omit the mistakes we’ve done in 2009 for us to have easier and better lives.  It will bring a big heap of hope that life, despite so much trials and bumps is still worth living for.  It’s a new avenue for us to prove our skills, our strengths and show the people around us what we’ve got!

So that makes up for it.  In behalf of the whole Pinoy Teens Online team, I wish you a very happy Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year!  We hope you’d support Kevin’s newest venture which is Teens.com.ph and Pinoy Teens too.

Note: sorry for the misalignments of photos. Hindi ako marunong, evidently. No matter what I do, ganito pa rin ang labas eh!
