Michael Jackson's video of Pepsi commercial accident

While doing my online stuff, I simultaneously watching the late news and it reported a video showing Michael Jackson during the 1984 Pepsi commercial accident. The King of Pop is having a rehearsal at the Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium on January 27. It was on the sixth take that the explosions went off early causing MJ’s hair on fire. He was not able to notice it at first and continue dancing until the people on stage tried to reach him and got off the flame.

It has been alleged that MJ’s addiction to painkillers and obsession with plastic surgery started after that horrible incident. He underwent multiple surgeries and needs to take several medications for that and for the pain as well.

NTC ruled prepaid load extension

Thank you NTC and thank you very much Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile! Last July 10, NTC signed the new rules on prepaid load extension purchased by consumers. It started when the good senator realized that he lost his load overnight without using it. His provider investigated it and it came out that he subscribed for a ring tone. For the senator, that’s impossible because he even not used his cellphone for texting, only calls. Below are the details of the signed rules:

The validity of a P10-or-less load credit is valid for up to three days; up to seven days for P10-20 load; up to 10 days for P20-30 load; up to 14 days for P30-40 load; up to 17 days for P40-P50 load; 20 days for P50-60 load; up to 24 days for P60-70 load; up to 21 days for P70-80 load; up to 30 days for P80-90 load; up to 45 days for P100-150 load; up to 60 days for P150-200 load; up to 90 days for P200-300 load; up to 150 days for P300-600 load; and up to 180 days for P600 to P1,000 load.

I just hope that our government can do mitigate too on the concerns of the consuming public on petroleum products and medicines.

Ferdinand Dimadura's Chicken A La Carte

Have you seen a short film that touches your heart and open your minds to the real world? Such a short one indeed that will make you asks yourself “Why?”

February 2006 during the 56th Berlin International Film Festival, filmmakers were invited for a short film competition with a theme of “Food, Taste and Hunger.” There were 3,600 filmmakers who submitted their entries and only 32 of them were fortunate to have their films screened at the Berlinale Talent Campus. This particular short film topped the competition after being adjudged as the “Most Popular Short Film.”

Chicken A La Carte made by a certain Ferdinand Dimadura is among the other short films reflecting the poverty and hardships of children and families around the world. It’s worth watching and best serve as an eye opener especially for Filipinos. My husband told me about this video and the family watched it yesterday night. We wanted to show to our kids how lucky they are for what they have now as compared to kids on the film. But of course as a mother and as a Filipino, that must be ended and great changes must happen.

This coming May 2010 election let change come to the Philippines. Change not only for our self and family but to the Philippines as a country. Vote for leaders we think will bring about the good and great changes to our lives and not allow leaders to come in power who are nothing but selfish and heartless ones. Vote wisely and never let happen to ask ourselves again “Why?”

Ruffa Gutierrez & John Lloyd Cruz's LA pics, friends in love?

Is love really in the air for Ruffa Gutierrez and John Lloyd Cruz??? This is one of the hottest issues in local showbiz especially after Ruffa confirmed the pictures taken while going inside a L.A. Hotel. Although the actress, a mother of 2 kids and a former wife of a business magnate Yilmaz Bektas, denied that there is something especial (LOVE) between them people tends to believe what they see than heard. Also, she added that she’s just being accommodating to JLC.

Love knows no boundaries. It could blossom between two people different in physical appearance or status in life like them. Ruffa is already a mother while John Lloyd is one of the most loved and sought bachelors in town. Only Ruffa and John Lloyd knew the real status of their relationship and if there is really LOVE for each other, let’s just respect it and wish them the best of luck.

Prayers for former President Cory Aquino

Family, friends and people from all walks of life continue to express their support, love and prayers to former President Corazon “Cory” Aquino. As she continues her fight against colon cancer, the former president was brought back to hospital due to lack of appetite. Although it was totally a news block out on the exact clinical state of the former president, one thing confirmed was her stay in the hospital is indefinite, her daughter Kris Aquino expressed the gratitude of her mother and the family as well for all the love and prayers people continue to shower to the former president.

To our beloved former president, I hope and pray for nothing but the best. You lived a colorful and meaningful life. You gave and sacrifice a lot for the country. At this point of your life, I know you are still thinking and wishing for a healing not for yourself but for our beloved country.

AEG Live: Michael Jackson video days before his death

I know many things have been said and blogged about the King of Pop Michael Jackson after the news about his death broke out. The world is in deep sorrow and grief after knowing the sudden death of this legendary icon in the field of entertainment. The media has been very busy covering the latest events surrounding the death and commemoration of MJ. Here in the Philippines, MJ fans are truly devastated with his sudden death.

More than his songs, what I admired from MJ most is the unique soft voice he has and for me a true total performer. Behind being one of the famous and well-loved artists in the world plus the several controversies he got involved is an empty person victimized by his past and the world’s admiration. But MJ is truly a performer that he can set aside the misery of his life when he starts to perform.

Concert promoters AEG Live for MJ concert in London just released the video showing how MJ vigorously practicing his song and dance routine last June 23 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The promoter is giving a full ticket refund but if I got a ticket for the said concert I guess I will choose to keep it. That will be a great souvenir from one of the world’s true performer.

Farewell MJ!!!

Lemongrass Tea: Herbal remedy for cancer

Here comes another informative and interesting message I got from my inbox. The message came from a friend and she shared me this study about LEMON GRASS (TANGLAD) with powerful anti-cancer properties.

I am familiar with the plant coz I used it when I make a “chicken turbo” for the family. Somebody even told me that I can put lemon grass into “chicken tinola” instead of ginger but I haven’t tried this one so far. But I never knew that the “Lemon Grass Tea” could cause cancer cells to commit suicide, as in self-destruction. This one is truly good news for everyone, sick or not. As we say prevention is better than cure. I think I’m gonna try to make a Lemon Grass Tea for my family.

I can’t post the exact content of the email because it is quite too long but here is the similar thread from the Associated Content. Check it out. Be aware and stay healthy.

Importance of a consolidation loan

Loans are the most common concern not only among businesses but in every ordinary household. Now that the world is experiencing an economic turmoil, it adds on the burden of people especially in dealing with their finances. At the end of every day we are still trap to think of how we can move on and deal with our obligations religiously.

Credit card debt is one of the most common indebtedness most of the people are in right now. Actually I am one of those but it is not because of my luxurious lifestyle or extravagant purchases. It is because I used the money card as additional capital for my parents’ business and we pay thru the income generated from the business. There was an instance where my several credit cards’ balances simultaneously went up but I was able to manage it by consolidating everything. We can not get over it if we just pay the minimum amount due. The outstanding balance will continue to blow until we find the best remedy. Based on my experience consolidation loan was the answer. By consolidating all the loans and get one loan to pay for those will enable us to handle our obligations with more convenience, lesser pressure, lower interest rate and minimal accounts to handle.

Banks are providing also their card holders a more convenient way to settle their balances. One effective and simplest way is the inter-banks’ Balance Transfer. If you find a hard time getting a bank loan then this transfer will be a big help.

There are other loans some or most of us are dealing simultaneously like student loan and car loan but the bottom line is how we can deal with them in a more reasonable, logical and best possible way.

Jessica Cox: Her life.. Her story..

I heard this one over the radio. Can you fly an airplane without your arms? If you can't well check this inspiring story of a Filipina. Last year, 26 year old Filipina Jessica Cox was the first and only Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) licensed pilot to fly an airplane using only her feet. Wow! That was amazing. This girl can fly a plane, drive a car and a Taekwondo black belt holder but she was arms-less since birth. I can’t imagine the hardships she went through as she grew up. But of course the person behind all these achievements and who never let her down but moreover supported her all throughout everything is her ever loving mother.

She was born in Tucson, Arizona in 1983 but doctors can not explain why she was born without arms. Aside from her mom, Jessica strongly believed that her being a Filipina is a huge part of her being. Her being independent and that somebody who has the courage to come out in the open and do things without having fear, are things she attributed to being a Filipina. This time she wants to be a scuba diver someday.

Feast of Saint John the Baptist

Yesterday was the feast of St. John the Baptist (Joannes Baptista, John the Baptizer, John the Forerunner, Juan Bautista, Yahya the Baptizer). I have known this feast when my grandparents and parents got a stall in San Juan City almost 2 decades ago. The celebration has always been fun and people are all in the streets to greet everyone with water. Aside from that, the city held their annual street dancing.

But not all the cities and towns celebrate it that way. Some have the traditional procession while others lined up many dressed lechon to commemorate the birth of their patron saint. Among some of the places that celebrate the feast aside from San Juan are Negros Occidental, Silay City, Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija and Balayan, Batangas.
