GMA News TV

Oras - Oras, Alam Ko!

I would like to congratulate GMA Network for the launch of their newest venture, the GMA News TV. I must say that it is a very intelligent decision for them to come up with this idea. I believe that when it comes to news, GMA Network is the most credible. They deliver news with fairness and accuracy. They have news that you won't hear - find with other news channel. 

GMA News TV replaces the now defunct Q TV on Channel 11. It will be spearheaded by GMA Networks' most trusted news reporter, to name a few, Ms. Jessica Soho, Mel Tiangco, Vicky Morales, Arnold Clavio, Howie Severino and Mr. Mike Enriquez.

Lyrics:

spendin' all my time
ah nah nah nah nah ooh
ah nah nah nah nah ooh
(ooooh woah)

spending all my time lovin' you
all my time lovin' you
need a few more seconds in my day
spending all my time lovin' you
All my time lovin' you
every minutes runnin' away
from when i wake up
to when i lay down
all i got is you baby on my brain
spending all my time lovin' you
all my time lovin' you
25 hours in my day

the clock ain't long enough
on the wall
so i spend another minute with you
i'm not strong enough
that's why i fall
everytime that i'm lookin' at you
you got my attention
i forgot to mention
you're the most beautiful girl i know
and i got no place to go

spending all my time lovin' you
all my time lovin' you
need a few more seconds in my day
spending all my time lovin' you
all my time lovin' you
every minutes runnin' away
from when i wake up
to when i lay down
all i got is you baby on my brain
spending all my time lovin' you
all my time lovin' you
25 hours in my day

i got everything; i got nothing
if they take you away from me
i'm your medicine
make you better when
all your hopes start runnin' away
baby this is your song
no it's not the slow song
say anything just to make you smile
baby won't you stay awhile?

spending all my time lovin' you
all my time lovin' you
need a few more seconds in my day
spending all my time lovin' you
all my time lovin' you
every minutes runnin' away
from when i wake up
to when i lay down
all i got is you baby on my brain
spending all my time lovin' you
all my time lovin' you
25 hours in my day

if you got somebody that you
feel this way about say oooh
(say oooh)
and if you got somebody that you
can't live without say oooh
(say oooh)
and if you got somebody that you
feel this way about say oooh
nah nah nah nah
(say oooh)
nah nah nah nah
and if you got somebody that you
can't live without say ooooh
(say ooooh)

i'm spending all my time lovin' you
all my time lovin' you
need a few more seconds in my day
spending all my time lovin' you
all my time lovin' you
every minutes runnin' away
from when i wake up
to when i lay down
all i got is you baby on my brain
spending all my time lovin' you
all my time lovin' you
25 hours in my day

spending all my time lovin' you
all my time lovin' you
need a few more seconds in my day
spending all my time lovin' you
all my time lovin' you

to when i lay down
all i got is you baby on my brain
spending all my time lovin' you
all my time lovin' you
25 hours in my day

I Super ♥ Angel Locsin

Ms. Angel Locsin
       I wouldn't be tired in posting an entry about my Ultimate Crush (haha, ultimate!) Angel Locsin. I don't know why but I just simply like her. I am not the obsessed type of fan though. I am a silent follower. Even when she was still in GMA Network I already admire her ,much more when she decided to transfer to ABS-CBN, which I must say was a very wise decision. She may not have much projects as she had with GMA but her projects now are definitely high in Quality. She has developed as an actress. She's truly leveled up. No matter what happens with her career I will forever be a fan.

FYI: 

I follow Angel at twitter. Sometimes, I mention her on my tweets. Luckily she have replied to some of them. She sent me direct messages in return (this was way back Mar 2010, just now that I decided to post it)


I wish I will get to meet her someday. Does anyone of you knows how? hehe.

Subject Code: Marketing 1

Good Day Folks. 

I decided to post this entry to help out my fellow students who may have been takin' up Marketing subjects right now. I have this homework about differentiating terminologies in Product Planning and providing examples for each. I have researched these information through the internet and textbooks. So I hope this would help. 


Product Line - a group of products with similar characteristics or uses manufactured by a single company. For example, Gerber's baby food is a line, just as Lady's Choice fruit preserves is another line.

Product Mix - is the total number or the full assortment of products offeredd for sale by a company. The structure of the product mix has dimensions for both width and depth. 

Product Width - refers to the number of product lines a manufacturer may produce or a middleman may carry. For example, a sari-sari store may carry food items, toys softdrinks, and others. 

Product Depth - the numbers of items within a product line as measured by the assortment of sizes, colors, models, prices offered. For example, a manufacturer of T-shirts carries different colors, sizes and styles.

Aurora Day 2011

The Province of Aurora celebrated its' 32nd Foundation Anniversary. There had been lots of activities that took place during the stretch of the celebration. This years' celebration can be considered as one of the best if not the best celebration that the province had. It was marked by 10 meaningful events. 

But before we embark on the events/happenings. Let me just provide you a brief history of my beloved province. 
           The Province of Aurora, with Baler as its capital, was founded by President Ferdinand E. Marcos in August 13, 1979 by virtue of Batas Bambansa Blg. 7. This act was the fulfillment of the prayers of the people of the former Municipalities of Baler and Casiguran to be truly independent from the Province of Quezon for the first time since the Spanish occupation.

            The early history of Aurora is linked to Quezon Province, of which it originally formed a part, and Nueva Ecija. In 1591, Quezon (then named Kalilaya) was organized into a district that included a good portion of what now constitutes the Provinces of Laguna and Nueva Ecija.
The original capital of Quezon was Kalilaya, now known as Unisan. In 1701, Nueva Ecija was split from Kalilaya Province. Around 1749, the provincial capital was transferred from Kalilaya to the town of Tayabas. The entire province then took on the name of Tayabas as well.

The Birth of a Province
The Birth of a ProvinceIt wasn't until after World War II, however, that this part of Quezon Province languished in extreme isolation from neighboring provinces and cities. It was Mayor Pedro V. Guerrero, with the prodding of Dona Aurora Aragon Quezon, who sought the creation of a Sub-Province of Aurora, named in honor of Dona Aurora, as a stop-gap measure to pave the way for the eventual creation of an independent province when the required number of municipalities was attained. Guerrero was appointed Lieutenant Governor in recognition of his accomplishment.
In 1951 the municipalities of Baler, Casiguran, Dilasag, Dipaculao, Dinalongan, Dingalan, Maria Aurora and San Luis were officially formed into the Sub-Province of Aurora by virtue of Republic Act 646.
The dream of converting the Sub-Province into a regular province was indefatigably pursued by Atty. Luis S. Etcubanez, who has the distinction of being the last Lieutenant Governor of the Sub-Province of Aurora. Etcubanez was appointed as the first Governor of Aurora when it became the 73rd province of the country in 1979. Etcubanez issued an Executive Order declaring February 19 of each year Aurora Foundation Day in honor of the late Dona Aurora Quezon.

Here are the events:


1.  The 5th Aurora Surfing Challenge/7th Skateboarding Competition


2. Drum & Lyre Competition


3. Tourism and Trade Fair
   
 4. NIGHTLY PARTIES


5. Tuklas Talino (Galing ng Aurora)



6. Karera ng Kalabaw


7. Binibining Aurora 2011



8. Kinagunasan Festival/Street Dancing Competition


9. Fireworks Display


 

10.  Parada ng Lalawigan/Anniversary Program

Happy ♥ Hearts' Day

♥ ♥ ♥
A friend asked me:  How's your love life?
and I answered without batting an eyelash; Happy - but still self - supporting. lol.

I just realized it's been like almost 2 years now since I've been into a relationship.  2 years that I chose to be single. Well, I must say it was a good choice though. I am the type who hates commitment. I want a relationship that's not demanding. Maybe I am too self-centered. I know it's unfair for my other half in the relationship. I actually regret that I almost ignored her, She's given me true love but I did not compensate it. And now I end up being alone, being SINGLE and VIRGIN. Yup. It was my choice so I have to bear the consequences. 
Lesson Learned: Love and be Loved. 
So guys, enjoy your V-day. Spend it meaningfully.
 
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Akeelah and The Bee

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." - Akeelah ( Keke Palmer )

Akeelah and The Bee is and will always be one of my favorite movies of all time. I am in love with this movie. It was just by accident that I watched this film, I was just browsing through the channels when I chance to catch this on Star Movies, I wasn't even able to get it from the beginning. Since then, I have never forgotten this movie which is unusual for me. I am the type who will easily forget a movie, its theme - characters - lines and even the title. But Akeelah has a special mark in my mind and in my heart. 

Why? I ask my self this question for several times. I don't know the exact answer. I think it's because I have some fair-share of what the lead has experienced. Back in my elementary days, I was chosen to represent our school for the Spelling Bee. It was a tough selection process. I had lots of struggles. I did not end up victorious though. I love Akeelah as she is, how she is and how she view life. This has been a very inspirational movie. It's very honest. It's very unique. A little girl driven by her dreams has indeed made her successful inspite  of all the hindrances. 

A young girl from South Los Angeles tries to make it to the National Spelling Bee. 



"I'm not supposed to be afraid? ....Afraid of... me?"
"You know that feeling where everything feels right? Where you don't have to worry about tomorrow or yesterday, where you feel safe and know you're doing the best you can? There's a word for that, it's called love. L-O-V-E."

Twitter Love

I know this entry is kind of a - late-reaction. It's just that I can't help but post it. It's the love month anyways. So nothing is late when it comes to love.

The personalities involved here are :

Testing





I am now addicted to this IPOD application. It's called the LomoLomo, it let you take a picture with Lomo effects. 

Above are the sample pictures I took. Love those pics. I don't know why. LOL. 

Anyways, I got a quick question. Is it normal?. Awhile ago, my Ipod shut off and won't turn on. I was just playing an application and was checking Facebook on Safari then it just went blank. I was sure that it's fully charged before I went to school. So what i did I called Apple Mac Center Customer Service and informed them of what happened. They instructed me to simultaneously press the power button and the center button. I did, but it still didn't work. I was then told to have it plugged to a computer. I am not able to do it immediately as I was still at school. But on my way home, I tried to power on the Ipod several times and finally it turned on. I'm afraid, it's just brand new. Should i bring it still to Apple Mac Ctr.
