"WE ARE THE WORLD" Philippines...

This is absolutely brilliant. I don’t know who made this, but whether it is the uploader ‘Kevin Ayson’ or not…I say thank you, Kevin. It is really touching, and if I remember correctly, the “We Are the World” video launched by the late Michael Jackson was made for another storm where thousands likewise died some years back. It was in Bangladesh, if my memory serves me right; a poor Muslim country. The whole world mobilized in response to that catastrophe the same way that the world is now responding to the aftermath of super typhoon “Haiyan” in the Philippines.

Incredible Look At Mars

Dear Nosca,  

    

From the highest volcano to the deepest canyon, from impact craters to ancient river beds and lava flows, this showcase of images from the 

European Space Agency's Mars Express takes you on an unforgettable journey across the Red Planet.

Mars Express was launched on June 2, 2003 and arrived at Mars six-and-a-half months later. It has since orbited the planet nearly 12,500 times, providing scientists with unprecedented images and data collected by its suite of scientific instruments.

The data have been used to create an almost global digital topographic model of the surface, providing a unique visualization and enabling researchers to acquire new and surprising information about the evolution of the Red Planet. (4 minutes)

GLOBAL CITY: SM Aura...

With cramped spaces in the cities, I always wonder why malls don’t convert their rooftops into parks where shoppers can relax and sip drinks or take their coffees, and with technology turning everyone into camera-bearing robots, you can expect most, if not all, to make a trip to the viewing deck for a photo shoot. Not only will it increase a mall’s income, it will invite more shoppers than a multi-million peso worth of TV or billboard commercials ever will. When I earth-Google SM Aura (Global City), the first thing I observed was the roof-deck that looked like a park, just as I had envisioned in my mind. Hmm! I was right…these are some photos I took of Nishreen at the garden top of SM Aura. It is indeed a new trend in malls, although I was told that Singapore did it first, that is, if she didn't copy it from somewhere else.

TIME TO RELAX

DISASTER NATION BATTERED BY MEGA TYPHOON…!

Before refugees can troop back to their homes shattered by bullets in a long week battle against secessionist in Zamboanga; before the people of Bohol can go back to rebuild their homes wrecked by a 7.2 earthquake and before anyone can be tried for the multi-billion pork-barrel scam comes the mega typhoon considered the strongest not only for year 2013 but the strongest ever to hit anywhere on the planet and it chose the Philippines. No wonder author Dan Brown called Manila; capital of a God forsaken country the “Gate of Hell.”

P-Noy: the real issue here is “thievery”…PAGNANAKAW!

The president not only deserves the benefit of the doubt; there should be no doubt that he is trying his best. His best may not be enough, but who does in this time and age, where Earth is turned into a monster ball for the scammers of planet Earth. For good to survive, not necessarily to win, is already a victory for the forces of good, and to quote Abad in one interview, “Kami pa (ni P-Noy) ang na-plunder,” referring to the plunder case filed against the president and his men at the ombudsman. Damn if you do; damn if you don’t. Listen to what the president has to say…11 minutes.

LANAO GHOSTS MUNICIPAL HALLS: The Reporter’s Notebook

Lanao del Sur in the 2013 statistics tops the country’s poorest province, and although it is 2013, it is always in the top 10 as far back as I can remember. I will not say that the content of this documentary is the cause; it is just one of the many. If the GMA’s team had come on a payday, I am sure that the Municipal Halls would have been full of people. The team had visited adjacent municipalities, meaning if they had gone even further, they would have probably found something more like it. It is the trend. No wonder…we are at the top. We are number one!

AWESOME! wakeskating Philippine's 8th wonder of the world

When I first saw a picture of this, I thought of it as a perfect Photoshop; in fact, I considered it a work of art until I saw it on the news. I said, “Wow, it’s really ingenious to even think and then act on it.” There are those, however, who didn’t see it as fun, but c’mon; there is no damage done, and it’s terrific. I wonder how many times they have to do it to get the perfect shot, the way it is. It’s more fun in the Philippines. (1minute)
