Wazzup Pilipinas!

Epson, the world’s top projector maker for 12 years in a row*, has updated its EB-“G5000” series of high brightness projectors with new “G6000” models that are even brighter than the previous generation, feature sport cinema technology from Epson’s market leading home theatres, and with some models in the range being among the world’s first projectors to feature the long awaited HDBaseT interface.

Designed for use in large or bright venues, the Epson G6000 series projectors have brightness ratings of 5200 to 7000 lumens, and are able to produce clear, bright projections with equally high color brightness thanks to their 3LCD technology.

They are also the first projectors in this range to feature Epson’s renowned home theatre projection technologies that greatly improve contrast, resolution, and video motion, and enable them to produce the best movie quality in their class.

Epson, the world’s top projector maker for 12 years in a row*, has introduced the new EB-4000 series of projectors to give the company the widest range of bright projectors rated 4000 lumens and above.

With the EB-4000 series, Epson now has a total of 17 installation projector models that have a high brightness rating of 4000 lumens and above. These include the new models of the EB-4000 series, the EB-G6000 series and the range topping EB-Z series. With such a wide range of high brightness projectors, customers who need them for larger rooms or halls can choose the projector model with the perfect combination of brightness, features and price for their requirements.

The Philippines is a recipient of the New Frontiers Award 2013 at this year’s Arabian Travel Market (ATM), the Middle East’s premier travel and tourism exhibition.

The New Frontiers Award started to be a main feature of the ATM six years ago, given to destinations that have surmounted great adversity to rebound its tourism industries. The award also gives tribute to the resilience of local communities to rebuild their lives, as well as bring attention to the crisis management and risk reduction practices of local authorities. It is the only citation extended during the event.

The Philippines was shortlisted, together with New York State (Hurricane Sandy) and Pakistan (2012 floods), among an original list of 10 nominees for outstanding contribution to tourism development in the face of overwhelming adversity.

Gigi Coffee and Cupcakes : Brightens Up My Day

Wazzup Pilipinas!

A cupcake is a small cake designed to serve one person, which may be baked in a small thin paper or aluminum cup. As with larger cakes, frosting and other cake decorations, such as sprinkles, are common on cupcakes. What's good about cupcakes is that they come in sizes enough for just one sitting. Unlike cakes where you have to slice it, cupcakes allows you to taste as much other variety as you want without ruining an entire cake.

I've been longing to write about Gigi Coffee and Cupcakes for the past weeks already since I was there at their restaurant in Eastwood, Libis Quezon City with my friends but the several out-of-town travels and daily events always kept me from sitting in front of my computer to write about it.

Its the hardest article to write about - the story about my dining experience with some fancy cupcakes and coffee concoctions to satisfy my cravings for the best tasting sweets and drinks.

Gigi Coffee and Cupcakes definitely made an impression, and a worthy piece to write about, which makes it really hard just to sit down and write some simple paragraphs.

Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

When we hear nuclear, danger may be the first thing that comes into mind but many do not realize that nuclear technology in small controlled doses can clearly help save lives.

Just like in the treatment of thyroid. A small dose of nuclear iodine will help dissolve the source of the problem.

Cervical cancer is sadly the second deadliest cancer prevalent among the women of the Philippines, and maybe even the world. It is next to breast cancer to claim many lives, but it is unfortunately the hardest to cure because you would usually notice the symptoms once it is already at a deadly stage.

Thus it is advisable to have a regular check-up to detect it during its earlier stage when it is still possible to cure it.

Isabelle Daza, plus other personalities join the cause to encourage women to submit themselves to regular detection to prevent or avoid being among the casualties of this dreaded disease.

Barbie Forteza is only fifteen years old yet she has reached a level in her life that ranks her above the rest of the same age.

Now what used to be tween queen turned teen queen Barbie Forteza adds another facet to her young entertainment career—singing. She finally released her debut album under MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines). Simply self-titled, the album fits Barbie’s personality perfectly- bubbly, fun and wholesome.

Having a first solo album on her own should make her very proud and extremely happy especially when she was able to have this accomplishment at an age where very few stars could possibly match.

Playboy Philippines says "Live a little. Melt your heart out over Mocha Girl Mae Dela Cerna, PLAYBOY Philippines' May-June Cover. Available next week at all 7-11, Fullybooked and Odyssey stores nationwide."

I'm sure a lot of our guys will be grabbing a copy of the latest issue of Palyboy Philippines to come out soon next week.

From a cover containing the five babes of the Mocha group, now comes a solo cover by one if its group members. So apparently this was expected and awaited for each of the Mocha members to flaunt their booty in the pages of Playboy Philippines.

A new Superman movie entitled MAN OF STEEL will soon be shown in many Philippine cinemas. I have to admit that I can't wait for that day to come as I am indeed a fan of the Superman movie franchise - even the Smallville TV series and the comic books. The child in me is so excited to see the newest recreation about the MAN OF STEEL.

Nuffnang will be sponsoring a MAN OF STEEL movie screening on June 14, 2013 and they are inviting everyone to participate in a contest where you get a chance of winning two tickets plus other MAN OF STEEL merchandize if you watch the movie.

If I had the powers of the MAN OF STEEL for one (1) week, I would use his speed to spin the earth into the opposite direction fast enough to return the planet into the past (Just like in the very first Superman movie starring Christopher Reeve) so that I could help mankind recreate a better history with less violence and better opportunities for all.
