Year of the Wooden Horse Horoscope 2014

Wazzup Pilipinas!

People still consult astrological charts or diagrans representing the position of the heavenly bodies like the Sun, moon, planets and other astrological aspects and even the sensitive angles at the time of a certain event such as the person's birth. These are called horoscopes which are commonly seen included in issues of newspapers and very popularly read especially during the start of the year.

2014 is said to be the year of the wooden horse. Chinese New Year starts on January 31, 2014 based upon the Chinese Lunar Calendar but Chinese Year of Horse begins on February 4, 2014. The Wood Horse year is a time of fast victories, unexpected adventure, and surprising romance.

With the many calamities that struck the country last year, will 2014 be a better one? Check out your individual horoscope. If you're not that superstitious, there really is no harm to use them as a guide whether its believable or not. Some of them may even be close to describing who you really are.

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.

Ours is the time of modern technology and innovation. These three social networking sites have been made possible by two things: the internet and our surfing devices.

Before, we could only surf the net with our desktop computers and/or laptops. Now, we have smart phones, android phones, iPads, tablets, phablets, and many other mobile devices we could use to access social networks.

It has been a breeze to connect with other people from around the world; all you need is a wi-fi zone and your phone (or tablet). One click of a button and you can update your Facebook status about your recent accomplishment, tweet about your conversation with your crush, or post a filtered square-cropped picture of your food on Instagram.

Anytime, anywhere, you are connected to the world.

The Quezon City government will be implementing a garbage collection fee mandated to all their residents more specifically to the lot owners. Though the QC government has a ceiling price of P 500 per year maximum per property, the most stressful argument here is why on Earth would they insist on a garbage collection fee when its supposed to be one of the most basic services given to the public by every local government unit.

I also have nothing against informal settlers but the so called "squatters" generate the most garbage and they usually dispose of these trash improperly thus causing more eyesore in our streets that would eventually clog our drainage systems leading to floods.

They did say they are in the process of devising a system on how to include informal settlers in the garbage fee collection but shouldn't they postpone this until they were able to do so?

According to the Wikipedia, a celebrity is a person, who has a prominent profile in day-to-day media and because of these commands some degree of public fascination and influence. A celebrity is commonly denoted as a person with fame and fortune.

If the parent is a famous and well-renowned person, it is not astonishing that he might want his child to enter the world of fame and fortune. After gaining a celebrity status, the parent might want his child to follow his footsteps by showing up in the limelight with the same successful career.

One of the much-awaited parts of students in their school year is the upcoming activities that will be done throughout the year. These are the culminating events and competitions where it is the time we can outshine and excel through our capacities and abilities that can qualify and compete with those of others.

Last December 17-18, 2013 we held our Business Fair led and set by our beloved teacher, Ms. Em and together with her committee. This event was made for our subject Economics that happened to be our project for the Third Quarter, so everyone was dedicated upon their businesses.

Every section has their own classification to remember, we have Boyle for their pizza; Copernicus for their burger with a twist; Goldstein for their street foods; Joule for their carbonara; Lewis for their nachos ; Marx for their sweets; and at last turon for my section, Berzelius. We also have different ways and marketing strategies to encourage people to buy and purchase our products. Many used their popularity, appeal, and of course their appearance.

Natural disasters happen all over the world and this can cause devastation to our lives and properties in which we live. We all know that natural disasters are caused by nature and we cannot do anything to prevent it from hitting us. But, we can learn about its causes and the things we need to know to be more prepared when such disasters come.

Earthquake is one type of a natural disaster. According to Wikipedia, earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. The movements of the plates in the earth’s crust cause them. These plates do not always move smoothly and can get stuck, causing a build-up of pressure. It is when this pressure is released that an earthquake occurs. In turn, an earthquake under the water can also cause a tsunami, as the quake causes great waves by pushing large volumes of water to the surface.

Typhoon Yolanda… Ondoy… Habagat… These three caused so much flooding in the Philippines that destroyed not only material things but had also taken away so many lives. Whose fault is it? What this brought by nature or by our own selfish desires?

In cases like those mentioned above, the story of Noah where it rained for 40 days and 40 nights always come to my mind. After the rain nothing was left except for those people and animals that stayed in the ark. When the flood subsided, they saw the rainbow- a symbol of God’s promise that He’ll never again let such thing happen to the world.

The story made me a firm believer that the flood we experienced are man-made and at the same time nature’s wrath but it will never be God’s desire. We took advantage of the wealth of our environment. We abuse it through illegal logging, development of subdivisions and our consumerist way of thinking. We forgot our responsibility so in the end nature takes its own course.

Ideal Role Model

Wazzup Pilipinas!

When we say role model, it is someone you admire or try to emulate. Your role model is someone you appreciate for their character. He inspires you to strive harder, give your best, and not give up.

The first thing that would pop in your head may be a sports figure; probably a political leader; most likely a celebrity or someone who made extraordinary actions. You could probably cite a few names of people you adore without batting an eye.

People in different walks of life have been arguing and protesting about the Priority Development Assistance Fund, a government program most commonly known as PORK BARREL. It is how the money/funds of lawmakers and congressmen is being divided and spent to support their chosen projects.

But is it really the Pork Barrel that is evil? Or is it the system itself that makes it a source of corruption? Or yet, there's just really greedy officials that gave the word a unlikely description?

Pork Barrel per se connotes negativity but with continous study of the subject, I came to realize that many of our countrymen benefit from it such as scholarships, medical assistance, support for poor farmers and legitimate non-government organizations.

Senior Business Fair 2014 !!!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

It was a success when we had the Senior Business Fair last December. We really enjoyed and had fun for the recently concluded activity. Our section is named as "Boom T Berz".

Our president divided my classmates in different stations. One group is responsible for cooking, another is for entertaining the costumers and lastly there are the so called "delivery boys".

Boom T Berz offered different kinds of entertainment but our main attraction is that we rented for a videoke and many costumers enjoyed it. Here are some pictures that showed the true meaning of FUN.

Should the government implement bicycle lanes on our streets?

Our nation has come to an age of modernization where accelerating machines and simple ones co-exist. Bicycles on the other hand, fall on the latter category: a simple one yet economical. Bicycle is one of the easiest means of transportation. Above anything else, biking reduces carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and promotes healthy lifestyle to the ones who used them.

The Bicycle Act of 2011 (Senate Bill No. 2688) invokes that main roads and highways shall have at least bicycle lanes as per the mandate of the LBO. The bill also indicates the right, restrictions, regulations and incentives of the cyclist. It also indicates the right use of bicycle parts to ensure the safety within the user’s control. Meanwhile, bicycle lanes are installed along EDSA, Remedios circle up to Roxas Avenue, Marcos Highway in Marikina proper and Commonwealth Avenue.

The word “safety” can be defined as the state or condition of being protected from risks or danger, but we all know that safety is more than just a word, because in reality, it is an assurance that we can live a happy and secured life.

Sometimes, the social safety of a person depends on his habiliment,attitude,and choices.Generally, a man's safety is defined by his own actions.

The streets that we are referring in the title is not taken literally, we can also refer to the crowded or non-illuminated ones.

The pictures displayed are taken during night time because that is when we feel most vulnerable to danger and risks especially on the road.

The first photo shows a man who sleeps under the foot bridge near a funfair, of course, one of the things that will be questioned is his safety. How could he sleep so tight? Because if we look at the bigger picture of his environment, the funfair is very crowded, full of noise, and maybe, people with wicked minds. We can also see that this man shows weakness and senility.

Pets are those animals that are very dear to us. Dogs, cats and birds are the common pets that people have. There are reptiles like snakes, lizards etc. that they consider as pet. I guess you have a dog or a cat or a bird in your house. These are pets. Taking care of pets is like taking care of a newborn baby. You must really take care of it to keep them healthy and alive. Like those newborn babies, these pets are also fragile and they acquire diseases easier and faster.

Who doesn't love pets? Some are feared of snakes, that's Ophidiophobia. Some are feared of monkeys, now that's called maimouphobia. There are lots of phobias to animals out there. Phobias occur maybe from accidents or events that something happened with that specific type of animal.

Hey, we're getting off-topic. Lots of people asks, "How to take care of pet". Remember, there's no perfect way in taking care of your pet. But here are some guidelines on how to take care of your pets. THESE MAY HELP YOU!

1, 2, 3 ClICK! Taking pictures is one way of treasuring moments. We took pictures because of several reasons. And some of these are that a sight is beautiful, eye-catching, stunning, spectacular, breathtaking or awesome. Good thing technologies were improved to capture happenings instantly. But there’s this one type of taking pictures of oneself that gets viral through social networking sites. It is what they called “SELFIE”.

It is surprising how people easily embrace the way of taking selfies. I even saw lots of selfie pictures in FB, Instagram and Twitter. People enjoys taking selfie of themselves with various expressions like “fresh from bath”, “Just walk up”, “OOTD (Outfit Of The Day)” , fierce and wacky poses. This way made taking selfie enjoyable. And possibly, the compliments people get from the pictures they posted makes selfie more fun to do.

The photo says it all. No amount of denial could make us believe there's no relationship between the two.

Even after their denial of a romantic relationship between them, Coleen Garcia and Billy Crawford were seen together apparently watching a basketball match between Brooklyn Nets versus Milwaukee Bucks last December 27 at Barclays Arena in New York.

The ABS-CBN It's Showtime hosts were rumored to be dating and the cause of the sensationalized break-up between Billy Crawford and singer/actress Nikki Gil.

Should We Ban Junk Food from School Canteens?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

It's parents' responsibility to feed their children healthy foods. They make sure that the baon for their children is healthy as possible. But because of technology, many instant foods, junk foods and unhealthy foods are freely distributed or being sold. Surprisingly, even school canteens offer it. The question is, Should we ban junk foods from school canteen?

In my opinion, a very big YES! Junk means Cheap, shoddy, or worthless. Would you allow your children eat those worthless chips?

Is it proper for the school to offer them if those food will make their student sick or unhealthy? It's given that junk foods are delicious but the consequences are bigger and more damaging. The nutrients like vitamins and minerals are too less in junk foods while the amount of calories are more. It contains salt and heavy sugar. Both are called white poison in the body. Eating so much of these result in hormonal imbalance, obesity, stunted growth and many diseases.

Those are the bad effects of junk foods so why would the canteens offer them. The students will be affected. Even their study habits will turn bad, more absents because of sickness and slow learning. The government should promote Healthy Living.

47 Ronin: Heroes. Warriors. Legends.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Among the best-known tales in Japanese history, the legend of the 47 Ronin and their epic mission to avenge their disgraced master epitomizes the samurai code of honor. It has been said, "To know the story of the 47 Ronin is to know Japan."

Retold through the ages, the legend that previously came to the comics in a meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated miniseries from Mike Richardson, Stan Sakai, and editorial consultant Kazuo Koike, is now also a Hollywood movie starring our favorite The Matrix lead actor.

Recounting this sweeping tale of honor and violence in all its grandeur detailing the tragic incident that would seal the fate of Lord Asano and set forty-seven of his vassals on a years-long path of vengeance!

A Layer for Mayor, a Layer for Governor. Aren’t you tired of rulers with the same surnames? We can see it every weekday night through the tv show Honesto. We know the things that they did from their campaign to their service. Well what can you say about it? It’s a Political Dynasty for sure.

Political Dynasties have their pros but if you will look at it more closely, their cons could cover up their pros. What are some of those cons, you may ask, are the following:

1. A political dynasty can exist as long as it can.
2. A political dynasty can make a family too much powerful.
3. A political dynasty can cause only one family to rule, thus making other parties lose their chance to serve.
4. A political dynasty can engage in corruption.
5. A political dynasty may silence a person who is willing to serve, thus making others to be afraid of competing against them.

Suzie's a normal girl with an extraordinary ability: when she has sex, she stops time. One night she meets John... who has the same gift. And so they do what any other sex-having, time-stopping, couple would do: they rob banks.

John, who until last night thought he could freeze time with his junk. At long last not alone, what kind of horny hijinx will he and Suzie get up to together? What ANY of us would do if having sex stopped the whole world: We'd do crimes.

Jon and Suzie get in too deep way too fast as one little sexy fun party crime begets another and the villains of the piece descend. Turns out Jon and Suzie aren't the only ones after all…

Movies and songs are everywhere. You can download it straight from the internet without even spending a single penny. The reason why they’re within our reach? ...PIRACY! This issue is not new. Authorities tried to put an end to it and get rid of the people behind this crime but it seems like there’s nothing they can do about this.

Let me just call those people behind this as PIRATES. I think Pirates are not even threatened by the punishments and the consequences they may get when the government proved them guilty. They seem to be so confident and brave and proud.

Why did I say so? Because pirated movies and songs are still abundant. They are still everywhere. There are still plenty of websites offering free but pirated copies these. Well, for us consumers, it’s a good thing ‘cause we can watch latest movies and jam with our favorite songs with just a single click. But for others, it’s unfair.

Everything’s going Instant. People nowadays are always in a hurry, going to work, school or any other activities that take place in our everyday life. With the help of technology, companies were able to come up with an easy way to cope up with these situations. They have produced products that are readily available for us consumers.

Advertisements in the television show products which can be cooked or eaten immediately. Examples are Instant noodles, 3-in-one coffees, canned goods, processed meat, etc. These products usually look and taste good, which makes them very demanding.

The production of these said products involve processes that may have changed the quality of these foods. Yes, adding preservatives, artificial flavoring and artificial coloring makes these products more delicious. But shouldn’t we also consider the risk of in taking these chemicals?

Everybody loves eating, especially if your favorite food is the one served on the table. During the holidays, a lot of people gain weight because of the delicious food prepared during Noche Buena and Mega Noche. But what makes our food tasty and delicious?

We consume a lot of fattening foods each day yet we don’t find ways to keep ourselves healthy and active. Because of this we don’t experience only physical problems like getting fat, we also get heart problems, high blood pressure and diabetes.

It’s time to choose the healthier road. We must avoid eating fattening foods. We can still enjoy our favorite foods but with not as much fat, calories and sugar. We don’t have to stop eating fatty foods since they give us energy, we should just control the amount that we eat.

In these days, people need to be practical in their own ways to be able to have a stable life. By having a business, we need to be practical in this matter so that it will be a successful business.

My ideal kind of business is to have and to manage my own company. To start a business, you need to have the strength and the courage to have it. In a business you need to plan what kind of business you will do. You should aim to have success on your business. If you don’t aim to be a successful businessman or businesswoman, it’s better not to have business.

Business is like a game that is very exciting. You have fun in playing but there are times that you need to be serious because you need to have a successful work. You enjoy but still you need to work.

I have great reasons to suspect that my neighbors are time travelers. I truly believe they are from the future. The signs are very significantly revealing to prove that they are indeed from some other time aside from the present. Believe me when I say they are not from this century.

Time travel has fascinated me but never in my lifetime did I think I would see it in real life. Imagine being perplexed and petrified at the same time when I realized my neighbors are not the ordinary and common people in my decent and friendly neighborhood located in a small bliss residence in one of the small cities in the Philippines.

At first I thought they were just eccentric individuals so I minded my own business, but many instances finally accumulated and summed up into an enigmatic conclusion mixed with fear and awe.

Why do I suspect him to be a time traveler? Here are the top ten signs:

Wait Until Dark: A Mystery Psychological Suspense Thriller Set to Open on January 17

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Repertory Philippines proudly announces the start of its 2014 season with its first challenging production entitled WAIT UNTIL DARK --- a thriller written by Frederick Knott.

The play that the New York Post deemed “a first rate shocker,” WAIT UNTIL DARK is a suspense about a blind housewife named Suzy who finds herself terrorized by three strange men. The men search for a doll that has been filled with heroin and little does Suzy know, her husband has mistakenly transported the doll across the Canadian border and into their apartment. Suzy must rely on her instincts, with the help of a neighbor girl and the cover of darkness to outwit the dangerous strangers and protect her life.

WAIT UNTIL DARK premiered on Broadway in 1966 with Lee Remick portraying the role of Suzie, which earned her a Tony Award nomination for best actress in a play. After 374 performances, a film version was released in 1967 which starred Audrey Hepburn, Alan Arkin and Richard Crenna. Hepburn garnered Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for her portrayal in the film. The Bravo network ranked the film 10th on its list for 100 top scariest moments.

We all know that our health is precious, so we spend our money to the doctors to cure us in the times when we are ill. And we go to the nearest pharmacy to buy medicines that we believe to cure us from our illness. But do we wonder what separates the, so-called “generic” medicines and “branded” medicines? This article will be discussing these for the information of the people reading my article.

First of all, only registered pharmacists can dispense and sell medicines to exclude physicians from this practice under the Republic Act 5921 or the Pharmacy Law of the Philippines. Thus, it is illegal for any physician to sell their medicines in their clinic. And also the physician is giving us the so-called “prescriptions” which our medicine name is written. And it is presented to the pharmacist to ensure safe and correct medicine.

Unfortunately, this practice is being abused by some opportunistic health care professionals and pharmaceutical companies.

Ready to bring your story to the stage? Learn how to write plays from five-time Palanca Award-winning writer, Dr. Joem Antonio, in Amateur Playwriting. This is a three-hour workshop that will be held on January 18, 2:00 PM at U-View, Fully Booked, Bonifacio High Street.

"Playwriting is an exciting and accessible performing arts scriptwriting discipline. Anyone can write a play, round up some friends as actors, and gather an audience to present original theatre at its most fundamental level. But to write great plays that enthrall audiences, you may want to explore playwriting in more detail. To be a successful playwright, you need to know where ideas for plays come from, the lingo writers speak, how to create fully dimensional characters, how to write dialogue, where to start your play, how to develop your storyline and reach the story’s climax, and how to bring your play to a satisfying conclusion." - Angelo Parra

Aspiring playwrights will learn the differences between theater and other media, constructing a story for the script, making a story feasible for stage performance, and formatting a script for directors and actors. By the end of the workshop, attendees will have a basic method to follow in writing theater plays.

Gadgets: Neither a MUST nor a THREAT

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Before I state my opinions about the topic “Gadgets for our children: A Must or A Threat?” let me first define the word “gadget”. According to my very close friend, Wikipedia, A gadget is a small tool such as a machine that has a particular function. Even before, gadgets already existed but what we are to discuss are the modern gadgets that changed the world. No one wants to go back to the days of no smartphones, no tablets, no cameras, and no laptops. And above, we can see some of the gadgets we have in our home.

We don’t certainly need these gadgets in our lives. In fact, decades and centuries ago, people lived without gadgets, if they did, why can’t we? We can’t intake gadgets to our system like food and water to help us live. Gadgets only bring us convenience, efficiency and recreation. That is the reason why, we can’t say that, it is a MUST to have them.

But neither, can we say that it is a threat. Yes, because of these gadgets some students, like me, tend to be lazy. Computer games such as online games and social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Toutube divert the students' attention from school and lose their interest in their schoolworks. But, gadgets also bring a lot of advantages despite its disadvantages.

"Shot this sundown at the Roxas Blvd and Airport Rd intersection and I hope the following speculations are yet to be proven wrong. Crossing fingers.
First of all, keep in mind, IF these gentlemen ARE carpenters or workers, then why is the passenger wielding a hammer in such a manner to strike anything as planned which explains not having the handyman's tool in a bag? Are these men up to something which would later explain such?
Imagine this, at a stop along the boulevard, you're on your phone while at a stop, and your car window suddenly cracks or even crumbles...whatever happens next clearly would be anything but pleasant.
I hope that this photo would or could lead our authorities toward finding these gentlemen IF and ONLY IF, the news had any unfortunate incident involving a hammer. Sana naman hinde." - Moe Ordona
