Super Sireyna Winner is Francine Garcia the Kim Chiu of Quezon City

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Congratulations to Francine Garcia "Kim Chiu" ng Quezon City. She is the Super Sireyna - Queen Of Queens! at the recent grand finals of Eat Bulaga of Super Sireyna!!!

One beauty stood out among the eight queens vying for the crown of Super Sireyna and reigned among the rest as hundreds witnessed The Super Sireyna Queen of Queens Grand Finals of Eat Bulaga happened last July 27 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater, Resorts World.

I guess the number 8 is still the luckiest number as Candidate number 8 won and took home the title. She may have been the last number but she definitely was first on the list of many who judged and crowned her at the Super Sireyna Queen of Queens.

However, disturbing nude photos of the recently crowned Super Sireyna Queen of Queens of Eat Bulaga went viral online immediately after winning the said pageant. Whoah!

Gimme some privacy coz I can't stop myself from drooling all over the cover of FHM Philippines' August 2013 issue.

WTP! What The Park! or What the Paf! Damn! Saan ba ang nearest Mercury Drug or 711 coz I think I need to buy some petroleum jelly and tissue. lol

Raping the Like button below???. (Okey, it's not a button, but you should rape it anyway.)

As FHM Philippines said "Our favorite Koreana now has her own FHM cover!"

I've always found her to be one of the most overrated babes in FHM Nation, but I must say that the underboobs might just win me over...haha!

Here are a few good news from the Malacanang Daylight. Daylight is a weekly newsletter produced by the PCDSPO, and is characterized as “Good News about the Philippines and Pinoys.” It features key accomplishments of various government agencies, and includes select articles on government initiatives, as well as excerpts from major speeches of the President. Daylight is distributed to all government agencies and members of the media, and is available online through the Official Gazette and through the PCDSPO website.

We thought of starting to put it in our blogs so that it will get a more friendly and pleasing appeal and also due to the more influential nature of blogs, it is hoped that more people will get to read the good news about our country and "kababayans".

I just wanted to give a short comment about this latest drama that unfolded on national TV - again on...... The Buzzzzzz! with Tito Boy Abunda.

It reminded me of the KC Concepcion and Piolo Pascual break-up, but this time its the man who opened up and went teary-eyes infront of the whole Philippines to see. But I'm so sorry coz his forehead was a bit distracting so I was laughing out loud instead of crying with the poor guy.

But when he put all the blame on himself - that caught my attention.

Why was I watching a talk show on a Sunday afternoon when I was supposed to be busy working in front of a computer? My wifey is the culprit! I was just having a short coffee break and the TV was glued on the Kapamilya network with the dreaded talk show airing at that very moment. Hurray for that!

James Harden and Eric Gordon at the NBA 3X Presscon

After Sam Perkins, who's next from the NBA to grace the Philippine basketball arena?

Well there was Lebron James of the Miami Heat giving the Filipinos a sensational visit with only a few invites sent out to the media, now it's the turn of NBA rising stars James Harden and Eric Gordon of the Houston Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans respectively to visit this basketball-crazed country having almost a million fan base nationwide.

But hold your horses, scene-stealers during the presscon included mascot "Grizz" from the Mephiz Grizzlies who cheered the crowd with his wild and crazy antics, and the lovely members of the Pacemates who almost gave everyone a heart attack due to their sexy dance number.

The two NBA stars arrived in the country Wednesday morning and held a press conference at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza a few days ago for the upcoming annual NBA 3X event.

I believe we all know who Leonardo Da Vinci is. Even the neighborhood kid knows him as the man responsible for the Mona Lisa painting. Leonardo Da Vinci is very popular as a master craftsman who's a scientist and inventor at the same time. He has conceptualized several works of art and science worthy of praise and admiration.

You wouldn't believe how many inventions were credited to the man. In fact, an entire space at the SM Mall of Asia was built and dedicated to the man to showcase his works.

The Da Vinci's Workshop has in display several reproductions of the inventions designed by master Leonardo Da Vinci. It honors the man who was too advanced for his time. Some even said he could see the future which gave him the insights to invent those wonderful machines. He was a man with a great vision and only his death put an end to the masterpieces.

I was quite impressed with the way it looks even though it might be a copy of another popular brand but the display, the camera and video capturing quality, and the ease of use of the Arc Mobile Nitro 500D are exceptional. However, I still need a few days to check out other important factors of the phone like the battery life and why I am experiencing a few minutes of pause or no activity after every image posting on Facebook.

Yeah, it takes me an eternity before I get to finish reviewing a gadget, similar to how I do a food review. If you rush me to produce an article immediately, then you'll get no content from me that's worth a second reading. I really need time to evaluate based on several days of actual usage.

That's how I work coz I'm doing several things at once its hard to multi-task if you need a brain along with it. I am tempted to copy and paste a press release or another review, but I won't do that if you give me more time to please my readers.

Ron Henley has recently launched his album entitled or "untitled" Wala Pang Titulo.

Wala Pang Titulo means No Title Yet. Ron Henley connects this album title to himself who is just beginning in the music industry, specifically the hiphop craze.

His album cover also has a significant meaning to Ron as it represents how he struggled toi overcome all those difficulties which seemed to be pulling him down. The struggles are just like the colorful monster-like hand that is trying to catch his comic alter-ego. Ron is trying his best to fly away and free himself from the clutches of the monster.

The monster may mean many things including all those that wants to succumb him into depression or frustration. His days at a rehabilitation center could be included among the "monsters" but he continues to overcome these beast each and every day with the help of those people that believe in him.

Curiosity is a quality that is often associated with danger and mischief. But it is also a valuable skill that propels innovation, initiates breakthroughs and urges a person to keep on pushing and exploring, and in the process, discover new ideas, forge new paths.

The legendary and pioneering denim brand Lee recognizes the power of curiosity, and to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of its iconic Union-Alls, and the exclusive preview of two of its newest innovative product lines for Holiday 2013 – Lee Stretch Deluxe and Blue Label at the Lee Concept store, in Glorietta 2, Lee introduces five highly accomplished individuals, multi-hyphenates who best exemplify how curiosity leads to success – not just in one but in two or more fields.

Leeroy New is known for his work as a sculptor and fashion designer, and he would not strictly call himself any of the two. He explains, “I primarily trained in sculpture because I felt it would best equip me with the skills necessary to execute ideas that were not necessarily 2-dimensional.” The association, he believes, is entirely incidental. “As a natural progression from creating sculptures and defining spaces, I felt at ease with the idea of incorporating the human element into my practice, hence, the works that overlap with the intentions of fashion.”

"Stay Curious", Lee Jeans’ new campaign is an initiative for the inquisitive. With 124 years of authentic denim heritage, the brand's ability to stay hungry for the new puts them at the forefront of denim innovation. "Stay Curious", a plan of action and engagement is a push to have every unanswered question answered, to have the unfamiliar become more familiar—all by living through your favorite pair of Lee jeans.

"We need that feeling, the emotion and personal expression that for a brand like ours, is critically expressed through the fabric. Denim is intriguing and unique in that it can truly reflect the personality of the wearer - the little scrapes, scuff, tears and frays, the way it gets better with ages and over time becomes part of the person it clothes…’" Lee EMEA Head of Design Gerald Bultot explains.

Every pair of Lee Jeans becomes part of your personal history, living through experiences with you—like second skin. It will document and record your stories. It will become your past, your now and your new. While it certainly reminds you of moments in every stain, rip and wear, it'll also remind you of possibilities. Lee Jeans encourages the liberation of your passion for expression. Take it from the jean-ius himself: “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”—Albert Einstein.

Make your individual denim documentaries speak, always STAY CURIOUS.

Here is the newbie blogger's advise to some of the top-notch and pro bloggers out there who feel they are the cream of the (coconut) crop:

Huwag po tayo masyadong (Let us not be) overbearing and feeling so responsible to educate, correct, and reprimand our fellow bloggers (both pros and newbies) whom you feel deserve a spanking on the butt. Are you the author of the book on proper bloggers' etiquette and writing style? Please do not act like our parents. I know you mean well, but your ways are just too off the edge and a means to provoke.

Shhh!!!! Keep quiet at huwag muna mag-react violently. Open your mind and try to finish this entire article first.

Marami rin po kasi kaming naririnig na bad tsismis or rumors against top bloggers that feel they are so "clean" and "perfect". But we do not make it a habit to rant online about it. Please realize that you are actually hurting the entire community by making others (of your own kind) look bad.

Seriously (but with fun), I believe everyone in the blogging community has their own unique way of expressing themselves. Kanya-kanyang style lang yan. Walang basagan ng trip!
