Vice Ganda is sooo out of place here. What's the concept anyway? Nothing personal, I wish Vice Ganda would just vanish from this scene.The other ladies are super fab! Speechless here.

Bea looks so stunning and like a Queen, While Isabelle is like a Living Doll, Vice is edgy and supernatural and Liz is Simple but Elegant.

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.

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.

Vacation With a Little Staycation

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Summer is the best time and season to relax and enjoy moments with family, friends, and “barkadas”. This season is in time with school vacation. Summer is a very hot season where everyone enjoyed swimming in beaches and resorts. Some people were bored. Students spent almost of their time in front of the computer during summer. Some just waste a day in sleeping, eating, and watching TV. It is different in my case. I can say it was not boring at all.

I’m guilty in my forth mentioned statement. Most of my days are spent in the computer. Eating, sleeping, watching TV, and everything non-productive I should say.

On first part of my vacation, as a church server, or a sacristan, I served at the Masses. It was like everyday I am so busy. I was like going here to there, night and day. I was almost sleepless on those days. First day was good. It was the Maundy Thursday. My colleagues and I practiced then served at the mass. I got enough rests and sleeps. Then, those days are gone.

My FRIENDS Saved My Boring Days

My Summer didn't started well. I just stayed inside the house ;watched the television and stared at anything. My vacation started without any plans for the next two months . Until the the time came, when the school distributed the report cards including our allowances.

Actually, before the school year ended, Daniel, I and who ever wants to join had a fun trip, we visited the places that you couldn't imagine we could go to. So, after we have received our allowances for the month of March, Daniel, Jaddie and I decided to enjoy and spend it on SM Mall of Asia. The mall was too big that we didn't manage to see its every corner. We were there from 11 in the morning until 8 in the evening- trying to look at every floors, but it's tiring. Aside from going up and down, we played in the arcade then ate.That day was very significant in my summer.

From that day on, I thought of ways on how could I burn my summer vacation. I was thinking of it every time of the day. During those times, I began to be fond of using Twitter. I believe that Twitter wasted a lot of my time during the vacation but I also believe that it completes my day. This Twitter isn't used on socializing, I used it to take out opinions, feelings, and problems which I can't voice out. Most of the time I used Twitter to talk to myself. However, Twitter is not yet enough to burn those days and that feeling is indeed sucking me.

“I can’t wait for summer to come”, that line is what I often say and what I usually hear from the other students for the whole year around. It is the time for relaxation and enjoyment for everyone. I believe that it’s a vital part of every student’s life. It is the chance for everyone to share time with their love ones.

I’m expecting that my summer break will be just typical, but I’m still longing for a meaningful and best summer ever, hoping to escape my mundane world behind for exotic adventures. I take pictures of every memorable place I stayed.

Outing here, outing there, and outing everywhere. We visited a nice resort in Binangonan, Rizal and I was able to capture a nice scene of sunset. Well, by the power of edit it turns out to be more beautiful. I enjoy spending at the resort with my family.

I also had plans with my friends. We visit a clubhouse in Cainta. We really enjoy our free time together because most of the time that we spent with each other was so busy doing our school requirements. I felt so out-of-place while seeing them floating and swimming, because I don’t know how to. I don’t know how to conquer my fear but I enjoy most of the time while chatting, playing and eating with them.
