Let’s all be vigilant and hope that the ones we voted for the national positions are responsible enough to lead the country and at the same time, make a change not only for the countrymen but to the Philippines as a whole.

Now, a real treat for all of you Angels and Airwaves fans out there (for those of you not familiar with Angels and Airwaves, see their wikipedia entry here) As you all know, they are set to release their new album “Love” on valentines day.

And what’s the catch? It’s for free! Yes you heard me right, it is for free!

Go get it now via fuel.tv (you still need to register though)

Enjoy and spread the love.

Let’s take a look shall we on the different TV commercials that’s currently playing in the airwaves. Please do note however that the order of appearance of the videos doesn’t  necessarily reflect on whom my top bets nor choices are.  I still have to clear if Eddie Villanueva is running for presidency.

As we look back in the year 2009, our country also has it’s shares of up’s and downs. We had the so-called “rice shortage” problem, the sex scandals which paved way to names like Maricar Reyes, Hayden Kho and Katrina Halili. We even sang the song “Careless Whisper” and uttered the words “Ooh lala! Sizzling Hot!” We felt sad with the deaths of the following celebrities like King of pop Michael Jackson, The EDSA revolution icon Cory Aquino, The creator of one of the most famous models of guitar that most musicians use, Les Paul just to name a few.

Ondoy caught us off-guard but instead of falling and tumbling down in the ground, we all joined hands and we rose from the aftermath. Truly, one of the sights to see and something to be proud of us filipinos all over the world. The massacre of journalists that happened in mindano which up to know, still has no justice served. I support the codemning of killing my fellow journalists.

Pacquiao kept on annihilating his foes (he’s done with mexicans, Hatton and Cotto were his new targets this year and he was successful on it) Too bad the dream match against Mayweather is on the rocks and im still hoping that one day, these 2 showstoppers will finally face off in the ring and prove to the world, who’se the real number one pound for pound fighter.

This is just a little sample of my look back at 2009. The next post will be my New Year’s Revolution (as i do it every year) 2009 in review and the tunes that kept me rockin on the year that is full of surprises and unexpected turns…

~Cheers!

Please support original and download it over the PSN network for only $6.99 (that would be around 250-300 in Philippine pesos) A cheap price for an action-packed game.

I would like to thank the team behind the porting of this game here in Manila. Those sleepless nights have paid off and this is the fruit of our labor.

Spartans! Tonight we play Minis! Ahoo! ahoo!

*UPDATE

We have here the first review for Hero of Sparta PSP courtesy of Pocketgamer More blood ahoo!

As i was browsing the net and talking to my future wife over YM, i went down to check and see if the water on the river beside our house was high enough to reach our garage which what we always do if there would be any typhoons passing by our area. And so i saw the raging water flowing down the river, not a good sign. We have to move the vehicles to a higher place as we were traumatized by the same event about 8 or 9 years ago (which i can’t remember the name but yeah, it wreaked havoc down the metro) Good thing for her that she stayed in their office and went home the next day. mnmkbp999

And so the moving of the vehicles started. I placed my moms car over at the apartment where my aunt and her family lives and also because the location of the apartment is on a higher place inside the subdivision. As i went back to the garage, here comes the water down from the river starting to fill up the garage and the next minute… Pow! the water runs it and the next thing i know, we were lifting things like the washing machine, speakers, clothes, and other stuff that we have on our garage were submerged in water. The water kept on rising and right now, we are prepared to move the remaining important stuff on to the second floor. As it subsided after an hour, here comes the cleaning part. Thank god for we were all ok.

Unfortunately for the others, their houses were washed away, they were stranded on their roofs for almost 12 hours and i was thinking, what if i was in that situation? so for a moment, i kept silent and started to pray for no one in my family, loved ones nor relatives got hurt in the aftermath and also asked for the rain to stop so that the others who were not that lucky enough like us would be saved.

Imagine, a rainfall that fell down overnight were able to flood some areas of manila, taytay, cainta and marikina. What more if it lasted for more than a week?

Thus we learned 2 things after typhoon ondoy’s aftermath:

• The power of prayer never fails
• Never mess with mother nature

Let’s offer a moment of silence and put our differences aside. This is the time wherein we all work and unite as one.

As i was relaxing as of this writing, i can’t help but want to pass by my favorite place in a mall. Yup! the record store. I haven’t bought a new cd since sugarfree’s new album. And after weeks of waiting for new OPM releases, i’m eyeng out on 1 release that would be Arch1pelago, an up and coming band fronted by Yan Yuzon, the brother of Yael from Spongecola.

Here’s May 1 taken from their official youtube channel

Just to give you an idea on what will be the games available on the PS minis, check out the video below (courtesy of Joystiq)

This video montage made my day. Why you ask? well, let’s just say that one of the games in the montage is the one i and my team is currently working on. Sweet!

Well guys and girls reading this entry, this is the reason why…

About a week ago, i learned about this contest from an officemate of mine who happens also to be a part of the contest. Fair enough, since i have been a subscriber of RED mobile since December of 2008, I decided to try in making a video that will showcase the oldest 2G phone and show to the world that even on an old 2G phone, the RED simcard would work.

And so tried my luck, looking for old cellphones in the house, i have only found 1. I have to admit, it’s made in 2003  but it’ still considered a 2G phone (i got me a nokia 3100, im still hunting for that elusive 5110 that my cousin has) and so the video editing began. I tried my luck to enter the contest by submitting this video i made for RED Retro contest.

I even got myself a cheap-o version of that guitar whom i called “Pauline” which by the way, will be turning 3 years old this August.

As i browsed the news today, it’s so sad to hear the Les Paul (Yes, the creator of the Les Paul guitar design) passed away due to respiratory failure. Not only he designed the guitar but he himself is a great guitar player.

May your soul rest in peace and thank you for the music as well as the sexy guitar model that you have created.
