Sa Iyo Na Ang Korona!

After the first long weekend of the alleged end of the world year in the 21st century, the most waited hapontukin teleserye in the Philippines is back to bring more action, drama, comedy and endless nosebleed terms. SA IYO NA ANG CORONA!.

Starring the Chief Justice hImself, Renato Corona and his defense council. The Senator Jurors of the Philippine Senate cloaked in Harry Potter inspired themes and less wands. 

This series came due to insistent public demands with all networks having a dedicated radio and news TV channel to cover blow by blow terminologies and controversies that will be caught by the public eye.

The story of conspiracy and corruption of the Chief Justice gets hotter with the SALN arc and many are also anticipating guest appearances of former president Gloria Arroyo et al.  

With witnesses of different character and backgrounds, indeed the series has proven to entertain and enrage the masses. Which most will appear in tomorrows newspapers and blogs.   Though the plot is also the same for the other impeachment serye "maERAP na Sitwasyon" last 2001, the outcome is still an open book with many possibilities. 

What will happen to the country? Will we be taught how to compute for our SALN? Will Senator Jurors face the Sorting hat ceremony? Who will win the Corona?

SA IYO NA ANG CORONA! airs daily monday till friday from 2pm onwards on your favorite networks and AM radio stations. They also trend in twitter with the hashtag #CJonTrial.

Faithless - New Book, New Life.

Seriously, I do need to do something big this year 2012, if in case this will the end of the world. And aside from arranging my blogs and getting a new job, I am thinking of reviving my fiction writing skills again to start and finish a story. With Manual to Lyf now in the works again and felt somehow inspired to do a new story called Faithless, I hope to be more active in doing what I think I am destined to do and to share it with the world.

Indeed this word has struck me and will also have a big impact in my life, making this one a step further to what I used to write about.  And I do admit to have a love life (very) soon, which makes it a new experience for me. I'd also lost faith in so many things especially last year which  I entered a hell of suffering and hatred. Although on the brighter side, indeed I have grown into a better and blessed man. With people behind me, making me feel a worthy part of their lives had made a mark on me. 

I therefore invite you to join me until we have this story published (in paper) and can also bring inspiration. And to end this post with an excerpt from Science and Faith by the Speaks which provided inspiration (and hopefully) a soundtrack for this.

"You can break everything down to chemicals but you can't explain a love like ours"

What to do in 2012? INVENT!

As a kid, rather than being a doctor or lawyer, I wanted to be a scientist. To be precise, an inventor. That is why I am always fascinated with science and technology, and this also led in my interest in engineering. I do know that today, almost everything has been invented and even one makes a break through, the credit and patent goes to the company or organization who provided resources.  But given this question:


If ever you’re given a chance to invent something (that was not created yet), what would it be and why?

As a home buddy, I know how hard it is to clean up the house plus to organize things into order so given I had resources and technologies, I would invent a cleaning box-bot ©. This invention is perfect for homes with busy parents. The C leaning Box-Bot © is a Digital-chemical-mechanical device that firsts scans the room of dust and garbage that needs to be disposed and disinfect. Then it uses it mechanical apparatus to do vacuum, polish and clean the room. It will keep track of its progress using a laser scanner for accuracy. Cleaning time depends on the size of the room, programmed accuracy (to avoid important things to be swept away), and sanitation preferences.

I wanted this invention because it will help a lot of households especially in these busy times. In case that there are no available house help yet there is a great need for cleaning the house. And this will be a great help not only for families but the economy with less time doing chores and more time to spend with work and family. I think my friend Arvin Ello of Vinversections.com will agree on this since he posted the question on his blog post.


And this technology is not far fetched, with an exponential rise of technology, I know its possible. Like the past decade, the internet grew with devices like the USB dongle, tablets, phones  and netbooks. I hope to make more inventions soon, and this is a great year to start iit!

Lots of Happenin' This 20 Elevin' !

Year end report.

2011 I can say was the best and the worst at the same time. As much I avoided to be, many things came unexpectedly which cause so much pain, suffering and empty pockets. But the fact that I am writing this right now means that I am truly blessed and on the way to recovery. 

I named 2011 as the year of great opportunities which it did. Manual to Lyf had its new branding campaign which lifted it to a new level.  It also got its own domain now just to make the URL shorter. Krisis! Komix though a little inactive sa able to pull it off with World Krisis and Comicxhub. I also realized that I survived the whole year even without a day job, however finances are scarce. And  sometimes I do think of doing things unlawful because of my dilemma. 

I do met a lot of people, and what I mean is hundreds to thousands face to face. Thanks to events that opened and exposed me to the world and also to things I never imagined. I met good people who helped me in events, my blog and my comics. I did also met very wicked and irresponsible ones who let me into bankruptcy and even left me literally homeless for months. 

Travel was indeed great and even without spending much (sometimes not even a centavo). I have been to the new Rizal Park and Manila Ocean Park, Baguio to see the Panagbenga festival live with high school friends, to Bondoc Peninsula in Quezon which is the farthest I have gone down south,Lubao Pampanga to be the first to experience their River Cruise, to Lingayen Pangasinan to be a speaker for the ICT congress and taste Pigar Pigar for the first time.

It was also a year of acquiring a lot of gadgets namely Amadeus (Samsung N150 netbook) which is my birthday gift to myself, Maximillan (Segate 500GB EHD) to store more memories, Chacha (HTC Chacha) as my first android phone. I also had a iPhone 3G (pawned for this time only) which my first Apple gadget. The Sony Cybershot W110 I had this year started signs of deterioration like flash not working and the lcd cracked.  I hope to have a new one and more gadgets soon this 2012. 

Entertainment, Food, and Music was the top events I had this year. This also translates to a bigger belly, being more of a audiophile and a showbiz critic this year. The year opened me to the doors of ABS CBN and GMA (and TV5 hopefully).  Also to recording labels like Poly East Records, Universal Records, MCA Music, Sony Music, Ivory Music, Warner Music and also Mecca Music. Also for Movies Solar Entertainment and 20th Century Fox. Also thanks to Orangemagazine TV and Indie Komiks Manila and all the other bloggers I have been and met this year...Thank You!

It was also a great year for expanding my network to PR agencies like Campaigns and Grey, Chris Cahilig Consultancy, Brandspeak Asia, Carbond Digital, Omnicom Media, Stratworks, Saatchi and Saatchi, Perlas and Luna, Gieser Mclang, PR Asia. and many others I may forget to mention  And with countless giveaways and fun events they made for the year boosted my morale as a blessed individual and drove me to share to others. Thank you!

So far no significant change with relationship status, still single and still ready to mingle, since I do not want my partner experience the rough times I had this year. Probably I will this 2012, since the world will end eventually so better have someone to be with, teehee. As a trying hard clairvoyant, I do feel vibrations of meeting someone for me.

Personally I did grew to be more practical, lazy and compassionate this year. I had to quit school again but hope to finish it and get the degree, within probably a year or two. My hygiene also improved this year with the products and services I was given for free. Including my first full body massage, first pedicure which uplifted my confidence several folds. Though I do say that I suck at fashion this year, which is not really mandatory but essential especially for events. I am now also learning Spanish which I really find very amusing.

This was the year I challenged and almost blamed God for the catastrophe I had yet in the end be very thankful for everything which made me stronger and better. To him is the biggest THANK YOU for everything. 

Now the 2011 year ends, and I greet everyone out there especially reading this year end report a HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012, the year of success!  Cheers!
