The Immortal Huntress

Wazzup Pilipinas!

She is more than just the twin of the sun god, Apollo. She is more than a wildling, preferring the company of the woods and forests over the luxurious life in Mount Olympus. Her name is Artemis, the goddess of the wild, the Moon and the hunt.

Because of her independent and willful attitude, there is a big chance that she is misunderstood by her fellow deities. She is adventurous, boyish and fierce. Her symbols are the bow and arrow, She is the goddess I admire the most.

Like Artemis, I love adventures. I love experiencing new things and I want to make most of my life. If I was immortal, I will make sure I had been in all the corners of the world. I wish that I too could enjoy life freely and do as I wish just like Artemis but reality keeps me grounded so all that I’m left with is imagination.

James Harden and Eric Gordon got a taste of Filipino streetball at its finest yesterday (July 28) at the Finals of NBA3X Philippines 2013 presented by Sprite at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) Tent.

The ultimate competitions of the three-day three-on-three basketball tournament – which drew 60,000 fans over three days at the double venue -- was moved to the PICC from the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall Sunday afternoon on account of the rain.

Little boys not quite five feet who were members of the RP Team Thirteen Under and wowed the NBA stars as they heaved shots from two-point country in the U13 division. The very young players of the RP Team were only good for a runner up finish, but their ease with the basketball impressed the NBA talents and the avid basketball crowd.

Grab your YES! Magazine Copy now! Daniel Padilla is the cover of the August 2013 issue!

Mr. famous talks about his full-throttle rise to stardom, his real-life family drama, and the one girl that got him to stop looking at other girls. Yeah we are definitely talking about Kathryn Bernardo.

Who wouldn't be satisfied with Kathryn Bernardo. Only a fool will take her for granted. Such a charming beauty deserves all the attention of a Daniel Padilla even how famous he is right now.

It is very seldom we see a happy celebrity couple that will keep being together even beyond mutual understanding or even after hearing wedding bells. Celebrities always have an attached uncertainty when it comes to real romantic love affairs.

Julia Montes and Kathryn Bernardo are all smiles as they graced the cover of Yes! Magazines 100 Most Beautiful Stars.

A presscon was held at the Crowne Plaza on the afternoon of July 25 with plenty of stars (both young and old) gracing the event. The cover revelation was quite suspenseful as everyone awaited.

But what actually stand out days after the cover launch was the issue of star choices made by Yes! Magazine. Many were asking why some widely popular celebrities were not included in the 100 list of beautiful stars and why there were unpopular starlets among the list.

Many fans of Angel Locsin and Bea Alonzo were asking at the Yes! Magazine Facebook Fan page why the two stars were not included among the 100 list of beautiful stars. Majority were fans of Angel Locsin.

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!
