For sure you will agree with me when I say that there is really nothing better with summer than going to any clean beach with your family or friends... wearing your 'breezy' and 'comfy' summer attire, enjoying the sea breeze, bringing along your favorite summer food (barbecue, shrimp, chicken, fresh oysters and other foods to be cooked on sight), going for a dip in a hot and cold sea water, and savor fresh coconut juice and finger foods before you splurge yourself on a seafood at lunch time with your buddies. Nothing beats it! And definitely it would be one of a kind experience if you'll spend it at Maribago Bluewater.
Maribago Bluewater will surely offer you what you have been dreaming of for a great summer experience - a summer that is absolutely more than just your usual summer!

You may literally hang around the resort all day and indulge yourself in the different beauties of the whole place. And if you're unwinding or into summer relaxation, truly the place will be of big help to you... it will be a remedy to life's problems.

Starstruck 3 Ultimate Survivor Marky Cielo reportedly died earlier today, December 7, 2008. The cause of death is not yet clear. - Noel Orsal
PEP (Philippine Entertainment portal) received a confirmed report earlier this afternoon, December 7, that young actor Marky Cielo died at dawn today. He was 20 years old.
However, the cause of death is not yet clear. An initial report says that marky died in his sleep. His mother went up to his room in their house in Antipolo City, around 6 AM to wake him up for the charity event. But he never woke up - PEP
Oh my God! That was the first thing that came out my mouth when I heard the news.
I just can't believe it, but it's true! It was confirmed.
Is it another Rico Yan's Story? The thing is I don't know, but this news really saddened me. First of all, I like Marky Cielo. I've watch him grow as a star since the very beginning, way back starstruck 3 era... and he's just too young to die, he`s even younger than Rico Yan when the latter died.
Anyway just check out the complete article at PEP.
May he rest in peace.
P.S. My God, I really still can't believe it. I hope this is just a dream, wake me up when it's over. I still couldn't compose a good post about this, and I even find it hard to write this stuff...
As I am writing this post, I am hoping at the same time that it's not yet late.

What do you get when you give 10 of the most promising Filipino artists billboards across key locations in Metro Manila as their canvass?
2nd Media Communications launches the 'Biggest Outdoor Gallery In Asia'! And it`s the 'Manila Outdoor Gallery'.
Wow! Amazing isn`t it... especially knowing the fact that it would be the biggest here in Asia region. Oh boy, I`m just too proud... of course I`m proud to be a Filipino, but hey hey hey this is really something that makes me more proud than ever.
... So what`s with 'Manila Outdoor Gallery' that makes it the biggest outdoor gallery in Asia anyway? Well just picture it this way... what would you get when you give 10 of the most promising Filipino artists billboards across key locations in Metro Manila as their canvass? Yes, a number of considered art masterpieces not only here in the Philippines but in the whole world by Filipino artists on your way to and from work. Isn`t it amazing? Isn`t it something that you would surely look forward to when you`re about to go to work and about to went home from work?
Anyway, picture North Luzon Expressway, EDSA and South Luzon Expressway as venues for these masterpieces. And now, there won’t be a need to imagine as 2ND MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS liberates art for Filipinos by transforming major Metro Manila thoroughfares into an art trail for the launch of the biggest outdoor gallery in Asia.
Through 2ND MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS, the Manila Outdoor Gallery Route will traverse North Luzon Expressway and EDSA up to South Luzon Expressway to show support for the ongoing movement of saving the environment. Yes, you read it right! It`s not only for our amusement but also for a cause... It`s actually part of the ongoing movement of saving today`s environment, our environment.
And so again, wouldn’t it be cool to see a number of art masterpieces on your way to and from work? and wouldn`t it be nice to know that it`s not only there to amuse us but as a part of the ongoing movement of saving today`s world? I bet it is, and I bet you`ll agree with me! Haha, seems like you don`t have any option dude but just to agree with what I say or with what I write. Haha. But yes, it`s really cool!
You might think that I am being too redundant with the way I write this article, but yes I really am. I admit it and it`s simply because I just couldn`t help myself in 'wow' with this stuff. And again, I am just too proud of it. Wonder whose brilliant idea this is...
I support this stuff, and why not do the same... this is really something that we Filipinos should be proud of!
It`s been a month now since Nuffnang has started looking for 68 Filipino Bloggers upon their Launch of Nuffnang in the Philippines. It`s actually more on a campaign, promotion and awareness for Filipinos especially Filipino Bloggers around about the arrival of Nuffnang Community here in the country.
It`s been a month now, and the time has come to its conclusion. Finally, they have announced yesterday the Lucky 68 Nuffnangers who shall received credits or should I say prizes for their given efforts in sharing their views and thoughts, or simply what they know about Nuffnang in relation of course to Nuffnang`s launching campaign.
Several Filipino bloggers who have sent an entry for the said campaign have been eagerly and excitedly waiting for the result and announcement of the lucky 68 Bloggers since last Wednesday,October 1, 2008. And finally, the long-wait is over!
Yipee! While browsing Nuffnang-Philippines official website yesterday I was like holding my breathe hoping and praying that somehow I`m part of the list... that I am one of the lucky 68 Nuffnangers... And guess what? Yipeeeeeeeee! I`m just one! I won, I won, I won. Yes, I`m part of the list. And yes, I`m one of the 68 lucky Nuffnangers.

To all those who have won, CONGRATULATIONS guys! You simply deserve it! Kudos!
I`m suppose to post this music video on my other blog which happens to be purely about the Philippines, but because `twas still under contruction so I just then decided to post it here first as "My Featured Music Video" for today. And I wanna dedicated this post to all fellow Filipinos around the globe especially to all my friends who happened to be working abroad and far from home. I hope you`ll like this post guys. I know how you missed Philippines.
21 top Filipino artists... 5 recording days... 1 song... About one great country...
"BIYAHE TAYO" is the title of today`s "My Featured Music Video". `twas a fantastic song collaboratedly performed by various popular Filipino artists and was set to promote domestic travel and tourism in the Philippines in cooperation with the Department of Tourism Philippines...
Some of the leading Filipino singers and musicians had contributed their talents and voices for the first time in putting together a song and a music video which encourages fellow Filipinos to travel in their own country and other foreign nationals to come and visit the variety of wonders of the Philippines.
"BIYAHE TAYO" actually highlighted the Philippine`s top tourist destinations along with some most awaited events of the country and some various Filipino cultures.
Grabe! Ang ganda talaga ng Pilipinas! [Wow! Philippines is really wonderful!].
Thus, I am inviting you to come and see the several beautiful spots and cultures of the philippines, come to discover the wonders of one great country and enjoy warm welcome from Filipinos like me!
I`m featuring another Filipino artist for "My Featured Music Video" post this time. And since I normally feature a music video of a solo artist or a duet, now I have just decided then to feature a musical group which is most commonly known as "band"... specifically or particularly a "pop/rock band".
'Pop or Rock Bands' have long been a part of the music industry. Normally it includes a guitarist, a bassist, a drummer, a keyboardist and one or more singer who may or may not be instrumentalists themselves. Their music are generally marked by a consistent and noticeable rhythmic element, mainstream style and traditional structure.
Today, it has been a fact that 'pop bands' have continuously growing in numbers in almost all parts of the world. But despite of this, still there are just few bands which continue to influence me in my life especially with my interest in music. And SOUTH BORDER is just one of them, and that`s the main reason why I chose to feature them for my very first 'pop band' post of "My Featured Music Video"
SOUTH BORDER is actually a Filipino Pop and R&B band formed in the `90s who gained their most recognitions in the music industry especially here in the Philippines in the 2000s. With Jay Durias being the lead and creative genius of the group, they`re just one of the few bands who has nevertheless retained their unique sound and musical sensibility and have even moved up along the latest global trends in music, thus retaining their top spot in their particular music genre.
The music video above is entitled "WHEREVER YOU ARE" performed by no other than SOUTH BORDER themselves! This is actually one of my favorites among their singles, plus the very fact that the music video is awesome and so meaningful... I mean, just by merely watching the video alone you`ll surely understand the meaning of the song. Honestly speaking, the song really hit me! But I`d rather not elaborate, haha.
`twas just so sad to learn that for the nth time, another breakup happened to the group. For those of you who may not know it, `twas actually just last year when Vince and Duncan who happen to be my favorite vocalists of the group [aside from Jay Durias of course], left the band for good... but I can`t blame them. Like what Jay had mentioned on his message people grow and learn a lot of new things and at that point, Duncan and Vince have decided to move on and pursue their career to greater lengths and take a different route. And just like what we always say, "Life comes with a lot of surprises". I just hope that I could still see them singing together even just once in a while. Because as a fan, I will surely miss them.
Anyhow, just enjoy this music video... since they`re still together on this video.
In relation to what I have posted earlier today, I decided to feature CHARICE PEMPENGCO`s rendition or version of "MY HEART WILL GO ON" as "My Featured Music Video" for this particular time.
"MY HEART WILL GO ON" is the theme song of the 1997 blockbuster movie "TITANIC" which was released in 1997. It was written by Will Jennings and James Horner and was recorded and performed by Celine Dion and included in her album "LET`s TALK ABOUT LOVE". Just like the movie, it also became blockbuster and went number 1 all over the world for how many months. And accordingly, it`s also considered to be the second most successful song released by a solo female artist.
The music video above is actually a live performance of Charice Pempengco with David Foster on Oprah`s show last September 9, 2008. I can say that it`s just the same as the usual live performances videos you often see or watch, but if you`ll listen to it carefully you`ll definitely know the difference... I just loved the way Charice sang "MY HEART WILL GO ON" on this video. Her rendition or version of the song is truly different from the original one. It`s simply amazing and brilliant! Absolutely, she made the song her own. Hope she`ll be able to record this song in her upcoming album, and for sure I`ll grab a copy. Haha.
I was about to post this the other day but unfortunately I wasn`t able to do so, since I`ve been so busy at work and a bit unwell for the past few days. And also for the reason that I want this post to be perfectly written for the benefit of Charice Pempengco`s continuously growing numbers of fans who happens to be from different sides of the world.
But first of all, I would like to thank falsevoice for these wonderful videos I am featuring here for my article. Fact is, there are so many YouTube Videos about this September 15, 2008 duet performance of Celine Dion and Charice Pempengco, but I personally chose falsevoice`s videos for I am certain that these are all quality videos and for the very fact that I commend him[her] for everything, and for being one of the instruments of Charice`s stardom.
To falsevoice, I know and I`m pretty sure that you`re happy right now seeing where Charice is...
CELINE DION`s INVITATION...
If you have read the previous article I`ve written and posted here about Charice, "CHARICE PEMPENGCO on OPRAH! [The 2nd Time Around]", then you`ll surely know about this invitation from one of the world`s best music icon Celine Dion.
Last September 9, 2008, Charice was invited for the second time by Oprah herself to be her guest on her show [Not to mention that her whole show for that certain episode was actually dedicated to Charice]. At the end of the show, Oprah granted one of the young Filipina singer`s wish which is to meet [or even sing] with one of her idols in the international music industry, Celine Dion.
Charice was really surprised and happy about it. And to cut it short, she was eventually invited by Celine to be the latter`s special guest, to sing a duet with her on her concert on September 15, 2008 at the Madison Square Garden [the world`s most famous arena].
CHARICE PEMPENGCO`s WISH...
Just like other local singers [or even those who are aspiring to be a singer] of various countries around the globe especially here in the Philippines, Charice is fascinated and truly inspired with Celine Dion and her music, and she even considered herself an avid fan of the latter. Being known internationally and having that great and amazing voice are some of the reasons why Charice idolizes Celine. And of course, it`s just normal to say that as an avid fan she dreamt of meeting her idol personally and even performing or singing a duet with her. Anyway it`s just a dream, so one could even make things as huge as one wants to see it, right?
But dreams do come true... I mean there are really dreams that becomes reality. And count Charice` dream as one. A DREAM COME TRUE...
... Just last September 09, 2008, a fan was invited by her idol to perform with her. And comes September 15, 2008 when a fan`s dream came to reality...
Charice again proved last September 15, 2008 at the Madison Square Garden that dreams do come true after she had performed a duet with one of her favorite international music icon, Celine Dion.
Dubbed as "Taking Chances World Tour" - a concert of Celine Dion, Celine performed one of her hit singles "Because You Love Me" with our very own Charice Pempengco, and eventually dedicating the song to Charice`s mom - Raquel Pempengco - who according to Charice is her strength.
In the concert, while Celine was singing "Because You Love Me" she managed to stop after several lines and eventually explaining to the crowd why she did that. Then Celine starts by telling the crowd about Charice and Charice Family`s life story. After her lovely introduction of Charice, she immediately invited the young Filipina singer to come up on stage and join her. Then Celine did a bit chat with Charice... and they continue singing the song together.
At the end, the crowd was in awe by their performance. The crowd roared and praised both Celine and Charice and it`s another standing ovation for Charice.
Kudos Charice! You made us all proud again. Truly you`re one of Filipinos pride... Keep it up!
Note: This is not one of Charice Pempengco`s Fansite... This happens to be my very own personal blogsite which accounts all the things that interest and concerns me. But as one of Charice`s fan, I`m posting an article here about her as a contribution to the world for the benefit of other fans and also for the benefit of other people who wants to know more about Charice. So I hope you like it guys. Thanks... --- atenean101
While browsing a friend`s blog earlier, I noticed a certain post which caught my interest and concern... And exactly the reason why I am posting the issue or the topic here at my blog.
There`s a new campaign in the world, and it`s THE CHANGE FROM MAN-MADE STRUCTURES TO TREASURES OF NATURE... After the success of the first campaign of New7Wonders Foundation for choosing the "New 7 Wonders of the World", now they have organized the second campaign which is to choose the "New 7 Wonders of Nature". New7Wonders Founder and President Bernard Weber notes, "We are finding the New 7 Wonders of Nature campaign to be excitingly different from the first one. So many breathtakingly beautiful, natural places are still quite unknown to many. From waterfalls to fjords, rainforests to mountain peaks, freshwater lakes to salt flats, we are discovering together the incredible beauty and variety of our planet."
Now what`s the good news? Good news is, for about nearly 300 natural sites in the world which have been nominated for the campaign, four of them are our very own or should I say from Philippines. These nominees are clearly defined as Philippines natural sites or natural monuments that were not created or significantly altered by Filipinos for aesthetic reasons.
Below are the four [4] Philippine Nominees for the New set of Seven [7] Wonders of Nature in no particular order [Mayon Volcano • Tubbataha Reef • Chocolate Hills • Puerto Princesa]...
According to the GMA News Report, the rank of the sites representing Philippines in the bid for the New Seven [7] Wonders of Nature has gone down... So to ensure that one of the sites will make it to the top 7, then we really need your help. So please support and vote.
For the benefit of other bloggers around and to my viewers/readers, to make it easier for you to support and vote for Philippine Sites which are nominees for the New 7 Wonders of Nature, I decided to post the current live ranking of the Philippine nominees here. All you need to do is to click the "vote now for _____" button inside those live ranking boxes above and presto, your vote[s] are in! But of course your vote[s] will only be officially counted after you fill-out some necessary information required to be filled-out. Anyway it will not take long, so just be patient enough... remember that it`s for our own good.
So what are we waiting for, let`s show them what we`ve got and how supportive Filipinos are! Let`s make a difference... Let`s make things happen for all of us Filipinos.
"If we want to save anything, we first need to truly appreciate it." - Bernard Weber
