The Mind Museum: Cafe Scientifique goes Galactic

2012-01-25T14:34:00.001+08:00

Cafe Scientifique goes Galactic!

Our Milky Way galaxy is one of hundreds of billions of galaxies in the Universe. Like humans, galaxies are born, grow old, and die. Reinabelle Reyes, astrophysicist, who made headlines around the world when she led a team to confirm Einstein’s theory through 75000 galaxies, will guide us through this process using the latest cosmological simulations.

Join us and learn the story of how galaxies have formed over the last ten billion years, and how our own Milky Way galaxy will meet its end a "mere" three billion years from now.

Venue: The Canopy Plaza, The Mind Museum at Taguig, 3rd Ave, JY Campos Park, Bonifacio Global City (parking areas are available in adjacent lots).
Time: February 11, Saturday, 4 to 6PM.

PPUR Text Promo to Give Away more than P30million in Cash Prizes

2011-10-13T11:23:00.000+08:00

One lucky texter stands to win the biggest prize money in text messaging with the launching of the “Pera sa Kweba” text raffle promo for the Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR) in Palawan.

The promo, which runs for 90 days from September 30 to December 28 of this year, will give away more than P30million worth of cash prizes, with the grand prize set at P25million and five consolation prizes of one million pesos each to be drawn on December 30, 2011.

Texters can also win P10,000 in daily draws, P100,000 in bi-weekly draws, and P250,000 in monthly draws throughout the promo period. All winning numbers will be drawn electronically.

Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Ramon J. P. Paje said that the promo is an initiative of the private sector to promote Puerto Princesa City as an important ecotourism destination, particularly the PPUR which is a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site.

He added that the promo would educate the public more on the PPUR and “show everyone why it is a deserving finalist in the New Seven Wonders of Nature global competition.”

The text raffle promo is open to all postpaid and prepaid subscribers of Globe, TM, Sun, Smart or Talk N’ Text at P2.50 per SMS. There is no need for registration.

Raffle entries are automatically earned each time a subscriber votes for the PPUR as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature by texting PPUR, or when downloading trivia by texting PPUR ON also to 2861. Winners will be notified via text, call or registered mail.

Each trivia downloaded or text sent will earn two raffle entries from October 1, 2010 to November 10, 2011, and one raffle entry for the period November 11-December 28, 2011. The “Pera sa Kweba” promo is retroactive for all those who were able to register in the SMS voting for the PPUR since last year.

“Among others, this text promo will generate excitement and pride among Filipinos here and abroad in recognizing the PPUR as a true wonder of nature as proven by La Venta,” said Paje, referring to Italian geographical association La Venta Esplorazioni Gegrafiche, whose members had earlier unearthed mineral and fossil findings in the PPUR cave.

"I am a frustrated writer." I want it to be my career. And since its impossible for me to reach that dream before, I started blogging after learning what this is all about.

I'll be the most luckiest person if ever I would be given a chance to participate in this feature writing seminar initiated by Writer's Block Philippines in cooperation with Powerbooks Store for I know that this will really help me a lot to develop my skills in writing.

Kid Singing in PureGold Clark

2011-08-03T11:40:00.001+08:00

This video is starting to become famous over the internet. A kid who is selling flutes in Puregold Clark (as mentioned in Youtube)who really "Got the Talent" in singing. He entertained the buyers by singing some hits of Bruno Mars and Justin Bieber. He can also do beat box and the voice of Chipmunks. But his rendition of Neyo's and Mariah Carey's "Angel's Cry" topped it all up. You've got the future in singing kid!

If I heard him right (and if I spelled his name right), his name is Arginal Gilbert from Mabalacat, Pampanga.

Indeed, there are many young pinoy talents waiting to be discovered.

Muzikademy: 2011 Music Camp

2011-07-25T20:38:00.003+08:00

Deadline: August 27, 2011

Are you ready to take the next step to improve your music skills and performance? Then join the second season of Muzikademy: 2011 Music Camp.

"Muzikademy is a gathering of young minds sharing the same passion for music". Its a 2-day workshop exclusively for out-of-school youth and college students that will surely develop their skills from being a usual musician to a highly-trained one. Skills development will be done through a series of tests and workshops from respected authorities in the music industry in our country. Muzikademy is spearheaded by Janice Hung, a Wushu champion, actress, model and at the same time, a music enthusiast and co-presented by Fontana and Janice Hung Arts and Sports Foundation. The event is to be held again in Fontana Hot Springs and Leisure Park, Clark Special Economic Zone, Pampanga. Other sponsors includes Freeway, Solo, Nikki Veneracion, Shimmian Surgi Center, LG JJ International, Dental First and Accel.

It was really an awesome experience for me when I covered the event last year and I personally witnessed how talented young Filipinos are. Each participant really thrown out the best performance they could ever give. You'll see how passionate each performers during the contest night as they sung out their original composition and their cover song. We witnessed how they used what they have learned from their trainings and workshops from various trainors like Monet Silvestre of Pinoy Dream Academy and McCoy Fundales of Kenyo (former lead vocalist of Orange and Lemons). They were fully equipped with knowledge and confidence as if they were a pro. It was really a good clash of talents and passion from young and musically-inclined Pinoys.

Great prizes awaits the winners plus you'll get a chance to meet a lot of new friends which I think is the best prize you could get in the music camp.

Captain America is my Icon of A Modern Hero

Captain America is my Icon of A Modern Hero

Real heroes are noble and sublime. They are those who fight to whatever they believe is right without even taking or asking for anything in return. They always take into consideration the safety of every individual around them. Their lives are always at risk, always in danger. But they do not care for as long as they are doing it for the sake of everyone.

If only possible to have Captain America in real life, I would appeal to him to help us solve the never ending peace and order problem in Mindanao. I would ask him to help Darna and other pinoy super heroes to joined force and battle it out to achieve peace and security without letting blood to flow and cause devastation of innocent lives and properties. Just with their super powers I know they will be able to control any armors, guns and bombs. But unfortunately, Captain America is just a fictional character. The only thing that we can do is to make him an icon to look forward that there are still reason for us to have a safety living. A character that will serve as our inspiration to hope for a better future.
