But there are years that Asians were the one that dominated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In 1988, Asia dominated Miss Universe in the year of the Dragon with four Asians in the top 5 with Mexico as the only Latina. &lt;b&gt;Thailand's Porntip Nakhirunkanok &lt;/b&gt;grabbed the crown. I wanna watch it and see how these four Asian ladies graced MU. Chang Yoonjung of Korea won 1st runner up, Mizuho Sakaguchi of Japan was 3rd runner up and Pauline Yeung of Hongkong was 4th runner up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DDGG_bbKzIw/TxY6ejEcLqI/AAAAAAAAApk/5L4_cQ-qNqM/s1600/top-51.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 197px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DDGG_bbKzIw/TxY6ejEcLqI/AAAAAAAAApk/5L4_cQ-qNqM/s320/top-51.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698806674968293026" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In 1952, also a year of the Dragon and the start of the Miss Universe, one Asian dominated the top 5, Hongkong's &lt;b&gt;Judy Dan&lt;/b&gt; ended 3rd runner up. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In 1964, another year of the Dragon, two Asians dominated again the top 5: &lt;b&gt;Ronit Rechtman of Israel&lt;/b&gt; (2nd runner up) and&lt;b&gt; Lana Yu Yi of China&lt;/b&gt; (4th runner up).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UHote3ZkwwE/TxY7lLrzpOI/AAAAAAAAApw/0DSWha9NK_4/s1600/Uni1964a-p%255B1%255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 245px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UHote3ZkwwE/TxY7lLrzpOI/AAAAAAAAApw/0DSWha9NK_4/s320/Uni1964a-p%255B1%255D.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698807888461669602" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In 1976, year of the Dragon, &lt;b&gt;Israel's Rina Messinger&lt;/b&gt; won the crown.

Part of this celebration is having parties, drinks and FIRECRACKERS. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Here in Davao City, any form of firecrackers is banned. Once you have been caught, you will eventually be imprisoned for quite some time. It has been ten years since the implementation of this policy. Because of this ban, it has saved hundreds of people and property. It has also saved civilians from losing their fingers and their eyesight, among others. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The ban is not limited only to Christmas and New Year.

In fact, the city government installed several speakers in the Downtown area specifically in San Pedro Street to play Christmas songs. A Christmas light float parade was also held.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This year is another SILENT NIGHT Christmas Eve in Davao City.

The character that I always choose is the Mage (Magician, Wizard, Sorcerer) character or someone that uses magic. Why? Since then, I always like MAGIC! So role-playing a mage, would somewhat make me powerful in magic. Anyways, here are some of the list of mage characters in massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;1. Mage and Wizard in Ragnarok&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HgJ4BI-IbcY/ToQ820g7RNI/AAAAAAAAAf4/1cieHdCVwjs/s1600/ter_wizard.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 255px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HgJ4BI-IbcY/ToQ820g7RNI/AAAAAAAAAf4/1cieHdCVwjs/s320/ter_wizard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657713944391533778" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5MfnoyZNz4E/ToQ8smuEnTI/AAAAAAAAAfw/9kln7AAs9lI/s1600/Mage.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 255px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5MfnoyZNz4E/ToQ8smuEnTI/AAAAAAAAAfw/9kln7AAs9lI/s320/Mage.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657713768889883954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In Ragnarok, Mage or Magicians who acquire enough experience in magic are given the choice of becoming a Wizard which are powerful spell-casters and have access to a wide array of area of effect spells&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;2. Magician in Flyff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NEuxQo0b8mo/ToRDmJTwtYI/AAAAAAAAAgA/jrqM3muYvvc/s1600/images.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 176px; height: 287px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NEuxQo0b8mo/ToRDmJTwtYI/AAAAAAAAAgA/jrqM3muYvvc/s320/images.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657721354497078658" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Magician is a job class that involves dealing magical damage from a distance by casting spells. You will learn spells as skills, and be able to use them to deal massive damage to monsters. You will also have lower defense, lower HP, and a delay time in casting spells, but you will ultimately be casting massively damaging spells if you do it right. As a Magician you'll be using staffs and wands to cast magic spells. You may also wear light armor. A useful stat for a Magician is Int. (Intelligence), which will increase your magic attack power, and maximum MP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;3.

The arcane magic available to magi is both great and dangerous, and thus is revealed only to the most devoted practitioners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;4.

Let me begin by saying that the shooting incident had very little to do with the gender of the two victims. Meaning to say, it could have happened to any other straight couple. That is why I am still wondering where your comment is coming from seeing that the focus of the segment was the lack of security of the mall and the lack of guidance from the side of the victims' parents. In fact, the gender of the victims only became the topic when you deliberately inserted this angle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; "&gt;"May mga nagsasabi din sa atin...kung bakit ang bata ay humahantong sa ganito kaagang gulang ay nabibilad na po sa pakikipagkaibigan o umiibig sa kapwa lalaki lalo't ito'y bading pala, o nabubuo na yung ganong pagkatao niya.

Are you implying that there is a prescribed age for us (you and I included) to express ourselves? If so, how early is too early and when is the right time? Second of all, if TV shows gay things, why is that a bad thing? It is only bad if the portrayal is based on negative stereotypes. But if mass media are able to show the diversity of gender in all its forms, that is definitely a good thing. And third, even if the media stopped showing heterosexual things, it cannot make all viewers gay. Being gay does not come from a rectangular contraption. It is more complicated than that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; "&gt;"Pag bukas mo ng telebisyon, pagbukas mo ng online - ng social networking, pinapahintulutan at tinatanggap na ng publiko" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;("When you turn on the TV, when you log on to online - social networking, it (homosexuality) is allowed and accepted by the public")&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; "&gt;So are you implying that the public should not allow and accept homosexuality? I was actually glad that most major media outfits did not focus on the gender of the two victims. The question of their sexuality was only secondary to the real questions at hand - how they got through the security guards and how they got hold of a gun. I actually thought we'd made a lot of headway with the media as far as LGBT activism was concerned, until you made your thoughts public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; "&gt;"Hindi po para siilin ang karapatan ng mga nasa third sex na magagaling naman talaga pagdating sa mga performance at iba pa." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;("I don't mean to take away the rights of the third sex, who are also good when it comes to performances and other things.")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; "&gt;Thank you for the compliment, if it is such. But actually, by calling us "third sex" and perpetuating the stereotype that gays are good when it comes to "performances and other things," you have already discriminated against us and have already taken away our rights. Take my word for it Mr. Taberna, do not use the terminology "third sex." Also, I would advise you to open your mind and realize that we are not limited to "performances and other things." My partner, for example, is a university instructor who is currently a PhD Math candidate. Yes, we are capable of a wide variety of things aside from "performances."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; "&gt;"mukhang na-e-engangyo po ang marami na maaga pa ay i-flaunt na yung kanila pong kabaklaan." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;("it seems a lot are encouraged to flaunt their gayness at a very early age.")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; "&gt;I see nothing wrong with flaunting "gayness" the same way that I don't see anything wrong with flaunting "straightness." You said so yourself that you do not mean to take away the rights of the "third sex." If you mean what you say, then you should not take away children's right to express their identity, i.e., to flaunt whatever they want to flaunt. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; "&gt;I hope I make it clear that I am not attacking you personally.

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There is another reason to celebrate for the month of August. This is because of the two special days on the last week of this month.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;August 29 is a regular holiday in celebration of &lt;b&gt;National Heroes day.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;August 30 is also a holiday celebrating &lt;b&gt;Eid ul-Fitr &lt;/b&gt;which is a conclusion of the Ramadan of Muslims.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;National Heroes Day day is dedicated to the memory of the Philippine heroes all throughout history of our nation. It is observed every last Monday of August. It is a regular holiday marking the Cry of Pugad Lawin by Filipino Revolutionary forces called the Katipunan led by its Supremo Andres Bonifacio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Eid ul-Fitr. The first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar, is declared a national holiday for the observance of Eid ul-Fitr, or the Feast of Breaking the Fast (of Ramadhan, the ninth month). The law was enacted in deference to the Filipino Muslim community and to promote peace among the major religions in the Philippines.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Well here is the question that you might find amusing to answer. &lt;b&gt;What will be your activities on this upcoming regular holidays?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It only costs Php. 120.00. Affordable and high quality. Get it now!

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;These are just the words that we can describe the upcoming show of the astounding performers of internationally-awarded Club Mwah! from Metro Manila. They will be performing in Davao and Tagum. The show is entitled &lt;b&gt;Follies de Mwah&lt;/b&gt; which means in French as "Beautiful flowers". The show was dubbed as a cross of Las Vegas and British stage shows. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I got a chance to talk personally to the owner and founder of Club Mwah! &lt;b&gt;Mr. Pocholo Malilin.&lt;/b&gt; He emphasized that the performance and productions of Club Mwah is high-end and very different from what we see in reality tv programs and movies. Philippine celebrities, ambassadors and royal family members from different countries watch Club Mwah!  becuse of its prestige performers and production numbers. He said that his inspiration for having this event is the true meaning and essence of dancing and performing.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Club Mwah also received several awards both nationally and internationally. The club was awarded awarded as the &lt;b&gt;Outstanding Theatre Club in Asia in the Asian Pacific Award Council&lt;/b&gt; in 2007 and received a &lt;b&gt;Global Award of Excellence in the Theatre Club&lt;/b&gt; in 2008, which was awarded in Bangkok Thailand by the Asian Pacific Award Council.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Follies de Mwah concert ensures a dazzling and colorful entertainment of high-society level with a cheaper and convenient price tickets. It will show in &lt;b&gt;Davao on August 19 at the CAP Auditorium&lt;/b&gt; and in &lt;b&gt;Tagum on August 20 at the UM Gymnasium.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ticket prices ranges &lt;b&gt;Php. 500, Php. 800, Php. 1000 and Php. 1200.&lt;/b&gt; The performers of this show are same performers of the bar used by Banana Split every Saturday.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

I actually passed the Civil Service exam last May 22, 2011. I never really expected this because I never had any formal review. Thank God! As you can see on the screen grab above, I am on sequence no. 106 and my examinee number is 203545. After two months, my certificate of eligibility will be released. I am so excited to apply in government agencies. As of now, I am still waiting for opportunities. Nevertheless, I am happy, glad, honored and I feel successful. Good luck to me in my next journey!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4686822066938955465-2719478848692312331?l=marcospot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OddsAndEndsOfMarco/~4/YmtuYcaztiU" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://marcospot.blogspot.com/feeds/2719478848692312331/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4686822066938955465&amp;postID=2719478848692312331" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4686822066938955465/posts/default/2719478848692312331?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4686822066938955465/posts/default/2719478848692312331?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OddsAndEndsOfMarco/~3/YmtuYcaztiU/i-passed-civil-service-exam.html" title="I Passed the Civil Service Exam" /><author><name>marco</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00252278540305284210</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="31" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EiDFsw6Ngro/TtreL2G0RKI/AAAAAAAAAm4/eNaB7u4Iodc/s220/375200_10150379132002904_527987903_8243228_211902770_n.jpg" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6gLbSjyCzns/TiolswWlOxI/AAAAAAAAAPY/3c6GpZkQSqo/s72-c/untitled.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://marcospot.blogspot.com/2011/07/i-passed-civil-service-exam.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D0YGR3c5eSp7ImA9WhZaGUg.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686822066938955465.post-4957321206924378623</id><published>2011-07-06T05:06:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-06T05:25:26.921-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2011-07-06T05:25:26.921-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="personal" /><title>I got a Google star</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mcEX7kMnafw/ThRSeuGtaLI/AAAAAAAAAPI/oKWiklYU428/s1600/satr11.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mX4s6I6i2p8/ThRQgx6570I/AAAAAAAAAPA/9goVOvcohL0/s1600/star2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 521px; height: 238px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mX4s6I6i2p8/ThRQgx6570I/AAAAAAAAAPA/9goVOvcohL0/s400/star2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626210358579031874" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/Windows/Temp/moz-screenshot.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mcEX7kMnafw/ThRSeuGtaLI/AAAAAAAAAPI/oKWiklYU428/s1600/satr11.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 125px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mcEX7kMnafw/ThRSeuGtaLI/AAAAAAAAAPI/oKWiklYU428/s400/satr11.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626212522218318002" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;My post for Bench I rock Body spray got a star in Google search. According to Google Help, having a star means that your post or blog has been more on personal by searchers. When a user clicks on the &lt;span class="highlight"&gt;star&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="highlight"&gt;Google&lt;/span&gt; will know that particular likes the result and will rank it higher for that particular user. You can use the &lt;span class="highlight"&gt;star&lt;/span&gt; to bookmark specific results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also got the rank 1 search result for keyword "Bench Spray" and "Bench I Rock". I hope Bench give me credits.
