This actually made my day and made me think of the yesteryears when I was still an employer. It seem everyone of us has a problem or complaint with our boss, one way or another, that makes working comfortably quite difficult.

However, regardless of his shortcomings or ego that's gone over the roof, you still have to work with him to accomplish the goals of your department or company. So just read below to at least see some suggestions on how to deal with a difficult boss.

Superbook Reimagined : Pilot Episode Garners High Ratings

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I want to share with you some good news! The first episode of the reimagined Superbook that was aired last Saturday at GMA placed #15 in Nielsen's National Urban Television Audience Measurement (NUTAM) Overnight Data! We were actually tied with Startalk (#14) which had the same share of viewers. The coverage of this measurement is 6:00am to 6:00pm.

We are really overjoyed by this result. I hope we can count on the fans to continue supporting our advocacy to have more positive TV programming for our kids and blessing them at the same time by learning valuable lessons.

Attached for your reference our official writeup on this wonderful news and poster to announce the second episodes (Superbook Reimagined on Saturday and Superbook Classic on Sunday) this coming weekend.

This kinda attracted my attention when a fellow bloggers made this comment below with regards to an article posted in the Wazzup Pilipinas FB group.

"I just hope someone rich in the movie industry invest in a Ramon Magsaysay movie. i can see the opening wherein a young Ramon is playing paper airplanes with a tubuhan kid (son of a poor family) in the tubuhan and as the little Ramon lifts his paper airplane, a real airplane shows up in the sky, then the title of the movie shows up. the opening is indicative of the climax wherein the old Ramon dies in the plane crash."
I must admit its a great thought and I will also support the same idea. We need more movies that depicts historical facts and real leaders that can be heroes unlike the popular fictitious superheroes we could only imagine to be real because of their uncanny and extraordinary powers.

A new month, a new cover girl. @barrettojulia graces the cover of Chalk magazine's June 2013 back to school issue. Brand new sections and spankin' hot content! Really, college has never looked this good! #juliabarrettoforchalk.

But I guess I've seen her also on the cover of other magazines out there. Like the Preview magazine for the same month, and the May issue of Meg and Manila Bulletin's Style Weekend....and I don't know if the cover with her auntie Gretchen Barretto counts as they grace Inside Showbiz magazine.

This pretty charming face is really all over the the place.

Well it was a bit pointless to shoot from afar because I do not have those sophisticated high-end long-range cameras that professionals and well-budgeted pro-photographers have. I'm just a poor blogger who cannot afford to buy such expensive toys. So many of us with the same predicament just settled on taking photos of the babes around and near our location.

However, the fight at the SM MOA Arena was not as appealing for Filipinos as Honorio Banario succumbed to defeat against Koji Oishi.

ONE Fighting Championship (ONE FC), Asia’s largest mixed martial arts organization, still wowed the sold-out crowd in attendance at Mall of Asia Arena with ONE FC: RISE TO POWER. The event was considered as ONE FC's largest event in history and 20,000 fans were treated to a night of unforgettable action as ONE FC kingpins battled inside the famed ONE FC cage.

This is a repost for Mega magazine as I am helping promote their two cover celebrities.

First is Regine Velasquez-Alcasid and the other is G. Tongi-Walters. Both are maybe in their 30s but they'e both very hot mommas or MILFs - if you know what I mean.

Admittedly, a lot has changed for both Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, and Manila’s former perennial it-girl before leaving for New York to become a serious actress, G. Tongi-Walters.

Regine has been into an adventure in marriage, motherhood, and a renewed love for music. Regine Velasquez-Alcasid is a powerful MEGA Global Pinoy and this June 2013, she graces the cover of MEGA Magazine’s Pinoy Pride Issue - I Am Global Pinoy.

G is now back bringing with her a husband, two kids, and a brand new point of view. She graces another alternate cover of the June 2013 of MEGA Magazine - I Am Pinoy 2.0.

What would you do to too many choices for your tea-based drinks? Try it all out one per day, or a different flavor three times a day,. morning noon and night?But there seems to be a new flavor coming out very often or at least once a month. Wah! Too many choices, so very little time. Maybe I should invite my entire family to their shop and we all try different blends at every visit. What do you think?

Super Duck Modern Tea Shop may have a gazillion type of teas to offer but all of their teas are superb in taste, and some even look and smell great! Promise!

Taste the authentic difference. Taste the leader of tea shops in Lu Kang. Visit their tea shop now!!!

I was a great deal early so I was able to watch the rehearsal of the Yahoo OMG! event from where I got the information that both Charice and Anne Curtis won as Media Magnets.

There were two winners for the 3rd Yahoo OMG!'s Media Magnet award - for Charice and Anne Curtis. But unfortunately, only Charice was able to make it to the 3rd Yahoo OMG! presscon and party, so she gets to be recognized as the Media Magnet awardee that night. The Media Magnet award was a result of the voting of the members of the media, including bloggers.

The voting for the 3rd Yahoo OMG! has started and everyone has the opportunity to vote once a day until the final deadline which will be approximately one week before the awarding on June 19.

She is known as one of the Philippines’ top teen stars whose popularity started with lead roles in highly rated GMA Network soap operas like “First Time”, “Pilyang Kerubin”, “Nita Negirta”, “Paroa: Ang Kuwento ni Mariposa” and the newly launched “Anna Karenina”. She has also appeared in top grossing movies such as “Ang Darling Kong Aswang”, “Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote”, “Tween Academy: Class of 2012”, “The Road”, “Ang Panday 2” and “Sossy Problems”. She is also one of today’s most in-demand young endorsers.

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.

It includes the carrier single “Meron Ba” about having a crush on someone but could not tell anyone including the person she admires. Its music video is now out on MYX directed by J Pacena and also stars fellow GMA artist Jeric Gonzales as Barbie’s love interest. The album, produced by Francis Guevarra, also features her version of Jolina Magdangal’s “Laging Tapat”- another song about young love, the bouncy track “Upside Down” (originally from the A-Teens) and an original song “Wala Lang”- written by Jude Gitamondoc. “Wala Lang” also comes with a dance version for those who want to groove to Barbie’s music. All tracks have minus one versions for those who want to sing-along to Barbie’s songs.
