144 Hours Of Summer

144 HOURS OF SUMMER

“Summertime is always the best of what might be.” – Said the popular American author, Charles Bowden.

I definitely agreed with him. Summer is the time for relaxation and recreation and at the same time it is the time where people make the most out of their lives. As much as I didn’t actually fulfill what I wanted for my summer to be as I just lazed around for most of the time in the house. I still enjoyed it. I guessed for the reason that I was with my friends.

Now here goes my 144 hours (6 days) of summer – the best 144 hours of my life! Not even kidding…

There were several events yesterday but I decided to spend my whole day from morning until midnight at PETA for the Improv workshop, 6:00 pm and 8:30 pm Improv shows featuring International performers, until the wee hours of the night jamming with the Radioactive Sago Project.

Yes! It was the best decision made because I definitely learned a lot and was entertained to the max.

The experience was simply awesome!!! But awesome is still an understatement. There are really not enough words to describe how fascinating my day was.

Go and visit the last shows today at PETA so you would know exactly what I mean. You may even get to watch me perform on stage as one of the talents fresh from the Improv Beginners Workshop ....hehehe

It's definitely time to cheer now for a 3rd Manila Improv Festival for next year !!!!

Details of the event soon here at Wazzup Pilipinas!

DOTC to Make Commuting in Metro Manila More Convenient

Wazzup Pilipinas!

An exhaustive, two (2)-year effort to gather and organize previously-unavailable data on buses, jeepneys, and trains in Metro Manila has been completed by the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), now making it possible for commuters to plan their trips more efficiently and conveniently.

The initiative of building the Philippine Transit Information Service (PTIS) began in 2011, at a time when the Transport agency could not immediately provide certain essential information to commuters, such as the best route to take at a particular time, as well as the travel times involved.

“The need to gather reliable data at that time in order to deliver convenient and efficient services to the public was immediately recognized and pursued,” explained DOTC spokesperson Migs Sagcal.

Or should I say Wazzup Filipinas!

Please spread this let more and more Filipino know about this fresh breaking news from the "Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino"

To unite Filipinos through a better sense of history, the country's language commission has decided to stop using the name “Pilipinas” to refer to the country, and to use the name “Filipinas” instead.

“Ipinapasya, gaya ng ginagawang pagpapasiya ngayon, na ibalik ang gamit ng 'Filipinas' habang pinipigil ang paggamit ng 'Pilipinas' upang mapalaganap ang opisyal at modernisadong katawagan ng bansa na kumikilala sa kasaysayan at pag-unlad ng pagkabansa nito,” the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF) said in a resolution dated April 12, which is going viral this weekend.

(We resolved, as we hereby resolve, to revive the use of “Filipinas” while stopping the use of “Pilipinas” to promote the official and modern name of the country, which recognizes its history and national development.)

I'm glad to be one among the many subscribers and fans of Globe ....and I'm especially lucky indeed to have taken a greater role and opportunity to say out loud and proud that I made the right choice of switching from my previous mobile network.

I may not be "Smart" anymore, but I'm more comfortable I'm with the telecoms company that's more "Globe-ally" competitive in terms of infrastructure and service,a nd one that does not let their customers over-subscribed even though their system couldn't really handle the load, and their customer service sucks big time.

Wouldn't you rather be the second one?

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, staycation is defined as a vacation spent at home or nearby. College is just a few steps away. It means that I will be away from our house, so it was okay for me to spend the summer at home. It may sound tedious, but trust me, I had tremendous memories last summer.

Last May 12, 2013, my niece Lara celebrated her first birthday. It was a children’s party, but I didn’t let my children’s-party-pig side to hide. I took advantage of the food. I had not only one, not only two, but four plates of food! Yes, you’ve read it right! Four plates of delicacies, gelatin, pasta, hamonado, chop suey, menudo, fried chicken, and of course, rice. The little guests participated in games like Bring Me and Palo Sebo. I had fun hosting the games.

I am glad to say that I spent four days of my vacation at school. Yes, I did not go there to relieve myself from stress, but I really felt great because I helped in cleaning our school. I would not be there I were not an SSG officer, though. It was our obligation to give a hand to our school, as student leaders. I must admit all of my co-officers were not my friends. Four days is a short time, but obviously, it was enough to bind us and prepare us for the school year. Most of them are not serious people. I mean, they are outgoing and weird. We had a lot of crazy moments which buzzed us out of our seats.

The dictionary defines passion as an intense desire or enthusiasm for something. This is the force that drives character actor Richard Quan. Since his first appearance as the other man in the Reyna Films’ classic Saan Ka Man Naroon? that starred the phenomenal love team of Richard Gomez and Dawn Zulueta, Quan, continues his love affair with show business, with this burning passion that fuels him to offer the finest in all the roles he portrays.

Film aficionados were most impressed with his performance as the tahong vendor father of JM de Guzman, in the Cinemalaya 2012 favorite Intoy Siyokoy.

Quan’s remarkable moment – caught his wife playing fire with another, he backed away quietly from the on-going transgression, crushed and disillusioned, this accidental discovery led to his plummet, a most tragic death that left his son Intoy orphaned.

This July, Richard is part of another Cinemalaya entry, “The Liars,” written by Senedy Que with multi-awarded film master Gil Portes as director.

I was at home, in the land of Berkel, fighting as an assassin and protecting the child of Light. Sometimes, I would venture out as Regret, the Seed of Chaos; The One of Unknown Origin.

Sometimes, I was Jaden, the middle child who wears a mask to hide his true potential in fear of the past and future of his family.

There came a time when I was Jade, the mischievous extremist who would go through all lengths just to fulfil her promises, even if she had to surpass death.

Virtual Reality, RP Games and my own imagination allowed me to live to these feats, and though I didn’t own the characters created by the game producers (like Regret of ZENONIA), I was able to live out their lives right at home, making the world I am currently in far more interesting to feel the adventure at my fingertips than the dull summer days of anticipating adventure but achieving nothing but a lot of lag time.
