noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 20 Aug 2015 13:38:00 -0700

Brendan Aurelio, an architect by profession, started building and creating his very first prototype car from
scratch as a backyard hobby in 2004. His passion, though constrained by a limited budget, expressed its depth and dimension in a prototype creation that is seen as an original car that is uniquely Filipino, yet powerful and spirited to compete with global brands. His passion saw no contentment, as he devoted his life into perfecting this prototype. Through the years, car enthusiasts did not only notice the design distinction of the prototype, but more importantly, they believed in his devotion and vision of perfecting, fine-tuning, and innovating his craft.

Papaano mag propose?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 16:34:00 -0700

Well, papaano nga ba mag propose?

Sabi nga nila, ang mga babae raw kapag nakakakita o nakakapanood ng mga magagandang proposal sila raw ay madalas na kiligin kahit na hindi sila ang nasa sitwasyon at the same time naiinggit, na sana mangyari rin sa kanila ang ganoong proposal o mas higit pa.

Anu-ano nga ba ang dapat nating gawin para makapag-propose tayo ng maayos? Meron akong mga tips sa baba na maaaring makunan ng idea kung papaano mag propose. Hindi ko naman kayo inuobliga na gawin niyo, pero kung ayaw niyo wag niyo na ipag-patuloy ang pagbabasa.

1) Una, siyempre kelangan may kasalukuyang karelasyon ka, matagal man o bago pa lang. Bago ka mag propose isipin mo muna ang mga tanong sa ibaba.

Siya na ba yung babaeng gusto mo na makasama habambuhay? Mahirap magsisi sa huli. Tiyaking mong siya na.
Siya na ba yung babaeng gugustuhin mong makita tuwing umaga sa paggising mo na nakayap sayo at nakahiga sa braso mo?
Siya na ba yung babaeng gugustuhin mong magiging ina ng magiging anak mo?
Siya na ba yung babaeng gusto mong makasamang uminom ng kape sa umaga maging sa gabing pagpupuyat mo, na makakakwentuhan mo sa lahat ng bagay may kwenta man o wala?
Siya na ba yung babaeng sa tingin mo ay hindi ka iiwan sa lahat ng panahon, masaya ka man o malungkot? Problemado ka man o hindi? Na siya magsisilbing lakas mo sa oras na mahina ka?
at siya na ba yung babae na ikakalungkot mo ng sobra pag nawala siya?

2) Pangalawa, kilalanin mo muna nang maige yung babae. I-consider mo ang mga nasa ibaba:

Anu-ano ang mga bagay na gusto nya? Lahat maaari mong alamin sa kanya. Kulay, damit, accessories, pagkain, lugar, movie at iba pa.
Kilalanin mo ang parents niya, dapat visible ka sa kanila. Hindi yung bigla ka na lang lilitaw pag nabuntis mo na yung babae. Kailangan may respeto ka sa parents at mga kapatid nya. Sabi nga, mas mahirap iwanan ang relasyon lalo na kung kilala mo na at napamahal na saiyo ang pamilya nya.
Alamin mo rin ang mga ayaw nya.

3) Pangatlo, pumili ka ng lugar na kung saan gusto mong ganapin ang proposal mo.

Sa lugar na importante sa inyo, gaya ng kung saan kayo unang nagkakilala.
Kung saan madalas kayong magpunta.
Sa lugar na romantic at paborito nyang puntahan kasama ka man niya o kahit mag-isa lang siya.
Iayon mo sa hilig nya, may mga babae na gusto ang nature, party, sinehan, sa beach at kung saan pa man.

4) Pang-apat, makipagsabwatan ka sa pamilya, kaibigan, kamag-anak at katrabaho niya.

Planuhin niyo nang hindi nalalaman nung babae. Kasi mahilig sila sa sorpresa, at tiyak na magiging emosyonal siya at agad-agad na mapapap-OO.
Gawin mo ang proposal sa oras na di nya inaasahan.
Pwede mong gawin na kunwari ay aawayin mo siya bago mo ganapin. Pero yung away na parang tampuhan lang, baka sa sobrang away nyo di mo na matuloy yung balak mo. Yung simpleng tampuhan lang.
Dapat nasa perfect timing ang lahat, minsan mo lang naman gaganapin sa tanang buhay mo, i-perfect mo na.
Galingan mo ang acting, maaari kang huminge ng idea sa mga kaibigan mo.
Isipin mo ang magiging reaction nya pag ginawa mo sa sa kaniya iyon. Yun ung magsisilbing motivation mo.

5) Piliin mo ang mga salitang sasabihin mo sa kanya.

Isulat mo man sa papel at basahin sa harapan niya.
Gumamit ka ng mga linya sa tula ng mga batikang manunula.
Gumamit ka ng matatamis na lines.
I-Google mo.

6) Bago mo gawin ang lahat ng yan, siyempre ipagdasal mo kay God. Ituring mong ibinigay siya ni God sa iyo at pahalagahan mo. Yun ang pinakamahalagang bagay, hayaan mong si God ang manguna sa relasyon niyo.

Dapat natin silang mahalin at pahalagahan. Pag nag propose ka, wag mong isiping mapapahiya ka. Isipin mo gagawin mo iyon kasi iyon yung alam mong dapat mong gawin.

Good Luck Bro!

SAW Movie (Jigsaw) - short review and a compilation of movie.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 18 May 2011 23:00:00 -0700

Saw is a horror franchise distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment that consists of seven films and two video games, published by Konami. The franchise began with the 2003 short film which was created by Australian director James Wan and screenwriter Leigh Whannell to pitch as a potential feature film. This was successfully done in 2004 with the release of the first feature film at the Sundance Film Festival. It was released theatrically the following October.

The sequels were directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, David Hackl and Kevin Greutert and were written by Wan, Whannell, Bousman, Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, and have been released subsequently every October, on the Friday before Halloween. The creators wrote the script for Saw, Saw II and Saw III. Both of the creators remained with the franchise as executive producers. On July 22, 2010, Mark Burg confirmed that Saw 3D is the final installment of the series. Series creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell are still open to continuing the series, however, if they can do something "different" with the material. The films collectively grossed over $848 million at the box office worldwide.

The franchise revolves around the fictional character of John Kramer, also called the "Jigsaw Killer" or simply "Jigsaw." He was introduced briefly in Saw and developed in more detail in Saw II. Rather than killing his victims outright, Jigsaw traps them in situations that he calls "tests" or "games," to test their will to live through physical or psychological torture. Despite the fact that Kramer was murdered in Saw III, the films continue to focus on the posthumous effects of the Jigsaw Killer and his apprentices by exploring his character via flashbacks.

The film series as a whole has received mixed to negative reviews by critics, but has been a financial success at the box office. While the films are often compared to Hostel and classified as torture porn by the media, the creators of Saw disagree with the term "torture porn". Writer Luke Y. Thompson of OC Weekly argued that unlike Hostel, the Saw films actually have less torture than most in the sense of sadism or masochism, as most "torture" is self-inflicted by the characters (and sometimes inevitable).

GLIESE 581D: AN EXOPLANET FIT FOR HUMANS?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 17 May 2011 08:46:00 -0700

THE GIST

· * Gliese 581d is the fourth exoplanet to be discovered orbiting a red dwarf star called Gliese 581.

· *Astronomers have calculated the world orbits within the star's habitable zone.

· *Although it might be suitable for human habitation in the future, we would need a breakthrough in propulsion technology to get there.

A rocky world orbiting a nearby star has been confirmed as the first planet outside our solar system to meet key requirements for sustaining life, scientists said on Monday.

Modeling of planet Gliese 581d shows it has the potential to be warm and wet enough to nurture Earth-like life, they said.

It orbits a red dwarf star called Gliese 581, located around 20 light years from Earth, which makes it one of our closest neighbors.

Gliese 581d orbits on the outer fringes of the star's "Goldilocks zone", where it is not so hot that water boils away, nor so cold that water is perpetually frozen. Instead, the temperature is just right for water to exist in liquid form.

"With a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere -- a likely scenario on such a large planet -- the climate of Gliese 581d is not only stable against collapse but warm enough to have oceans, clouds and rainfall," France's National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) said in a press release.

More than 500 planets orbiting other stars have been recorded since 1995, detected mostly by a tiny wobble in stellar light.

Exoplanets are named after their star and listed alphabetically, in order of discovery.

Until now, the big interest in Gliese 581's roster of planets focused on Gliese 581g.

It leapt into the headlines last year as "Zarmina's World," after its observers announced it had roughly the same mass as Earth's and was also close to the Goldilocks zone.

But that discovery has since been discounted by many. Indeed, some experts suspect that the Gliese 581g may not even exist but was simply a hiccup in starlight.

Its big brother, Gliese 581d, has a mass at least seven times that of Earth and is about twice our planet's size, according to the new study, which appears in a British publication, The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

The planet, spotted in 2007, had initially been dismissed as a candidate in the hunt for life.

It receives less than a third of the solar radiation Earth gets, and may be "tidally locked", meaning that one side of it always faces the sun, which would give it permanent dayside and nightside.

But the new model, devised by CNRS climate scientists Robin Wordsworth, Francois Forget and colleagues, showed surprising potential.

Its atmosphere would store heat well, thanks to its dense CO2, a greenhouse gas. And the red light from the star would also penetrate the atmosphere and warm the surface.

"In all cases, the temperatures allow for the presence of liquid water on the surface," say the researchers.

For budding travelers, though, Gliese 581d would "still be a pretty strange place to visit," the CNRS said.

"The denser air and thick clouds would keep the surface in a perpetual murky red twilight, and its large mass means that surface gravity would be around double that on Earth."

Getting to the planet would still require a sci-fi breakthrough in travel for earthlings.

A spaceship traveling close to light speed would take more than 20 years to get there, while our present rocket technology would take 300,000 years.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 11 May 2011 03:51:00 -0700

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is a 2011 American adventure fantasy film and the fourth film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, following Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. In the film, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is joined by Angelica (Penélope Cruz) in his search for the Fountain of Youth, confronting the infamous, real-life, legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane). The plot draws inspiration from the novel On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers, which also inspired the LucasArts game The Secret of Monkey Island. It is directed by Rob Marshall, written by Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio, and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

Penélope Cruz as Angelica

The movie is being distributed by Walt Disney Pictures and will be released in the United Kingdom on May 18, 2011, Australia on May 19, 2011, and the United States and Canada on May 20, 2011. The release will be presented in Disney Digital 3-D and IMAX 3D, as well as in traditional two-dimensional and IMAX formats. The film was first announced in 2008 and principal photography started in June 2010. The release is the first in the series to be directed by Rob Marshall and not Gore Verbinski. It is also the first movie in the series which features fictional versions of historical characters such as Blackbeard, George II of Great Britain, Henry Pelham, John Carteret and Ferdinand VI of Spain. It will be the first Pirates of the Caribbean film to be released in 3D and Jerry Bruckheimer's second 3D film, following the 2009 movie G-Force. It is also the fifth Disney film to use Dolby 7.1 surround sound. While previous films in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise have been filmed in the Caribbean Sea, On Stranger Tides was filmed mainly in Hawaii.

Plot

Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a woman from his past named Angelica. He is not sure if he's in love with her, or if she is a con artist who's trying to use him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. After Angelica forces Captain Jack Sparrow to board Blackbeard's ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, he finds himself on a new adventure. During the journey, Captain Jack Sparrow must face new challenges, like zombies and mermaids, in order to reach the Fountain of Youth.

Filming

Principal photography began on June 14, 2010 in Hawaii. Filming was scheduled to move to California in August 2010, and some scenes were filmed at Pinewood Studios in London.

According to the Los Angeles Time, the film's budget was limited to $200 million, $100 million less than At World's End and $25 million less than Dead Man's Chest, in order to cut costs.

On May 17, 2010, Rich Ross confirmed that Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides would be shot and released in Disney Digital 3-D. On June 15, the first pictures of Blackbeard's ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, were revealed. On June 21, it was announced that production would be occurring simultaneously in Hawaii, the United Kingdom, Puerto Rico, on the island of Palomino, and Los Angeles, California. In October, security was breached at the UK site when a celebrity impersonator was able to gain access to filming at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London by dressing up as Captain Jack.

Pacquiao Won Against Mosley

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 7 May 2011 23:37:00 -0700

MANILA, Philippines - Manny Pacquiao proved to be too fast and too good for Shane Mosley, pounding the challenger en route to a unanimous decision victory to retain his WBO welterweight title at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas today.

Pacquiao decked Mosley midway in the third round with a lethal left straight to the face. A visibly dazed Mosley beat the mandatory eight-count and went on to survive an uneventful fight, which turned out to be about Pacquiao's aggressiveness against Mosley's unwillingness to engage.

"I got with him a solid straight, but he's strong," Pacquiao said in a post-fight interview.

Pacquiao was the aggressor the entire night, forcing Mosley to back off with his usual spitfire combinations. The Filipino ring icon used feints to further confound Mosley, who appeared hesitant to strike.

Things got interesting in the 10th round when referee Kenny Bayless ruled a knockdown against Pacquiao, who incidentally went down after being pushed by Mosley. Replays showed it was indeed a push and should have been ruled a slip.

"It's the referee's call, and I have to respect that," Pacquiao said.

That incident ended up to be a wake-up call for Pacquiao, who continued to press the action in the last two rounds to seal the victory. Securing the win, however, came with a price.

"I got my legs hurt. I told my assistant trainers to massage them because I couldn't move," Pacquiao said.

The three judges scored the fight lopsidedly for Pacquiao, 119-108, 120-108 and 120-107. Philstar.com had it a near-shutout for the Filipino, 119-108.

Top Rank chief Bob Arum said he is planning a November fight for Pacquiao.

"We're looking at (Juan Manuel) Marquez, Timothy Bradley or Zab Judah. We'll see what happens," the promoter said.

(May 21, 2011) Judgment Day

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 5 May 2011 22:39:00 -0700

The 2011 end times prediction is a prediction made by Christian preacher Harold Camping that the Rapture (in Christian belief, the taking up into heaven of God's elect people) will take place on May 21, 2011 and that the end of the world as we know it will take place five months later on October 21, 2011. These predictions were made by Camping, president of the Family Radio Christian network, who claims the Bible as his source. Believers claim that around 200 million people (approximately 3% of the world's population) will be raptured.

In 2010, Marie Exley of Colorado Springs made news by purchasing advertising space in her locality, promoting the alleged Rapture date on a number of park benches. Since then, 'Judgment Day' billboards have been erected at locations across the world. Some people have adorned their vehicles with the information.

On October 27, 2010, Family Radio launched "Project Caravan". Five RVs arrayed with reflector lettering that declare that Judgment Day begins on May 21, 2011 were sent out from their headquarters in Oakland, California, to Seattle, Washington. Upon arrival, teams are sent out to distribute tracts. The caravan has made stops in Oregon, California, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Florida, Utah, Maryland, and other states.

These predictions have been largely rejected by mainstream Christianity, prompting "a flurry of attacks".

Controversy

Camping's rapture prediction, along with some of his other teachings and beliefs, have sparked some controversy in the Christian world. His critics often quote Bible verses (such as Matthew 24:36) which they claim imply the date of the end will never be known by anyone. However, Camping and his followers respond that this principle only applied to the "church age" or "pre-tribulation period" and does not apply to the present day, using other verses (such as 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5:5) in their rebuttal.

Camping asserts that before the End comes, believers should "flee the church," resigning from any church they belong to; however, this assertion has been controversial.

In Camping's 1992 self-published book 1994? He proclaimed that the End Time would come on September 4, 1994. When the Rapture failed to occur on the appointed day, Camping said he had made a mathematical error.

Reasoning

The majority of arguments, or biblical "proofs", in favor of the May 21st end time have come from Camping. A civil engineer by training, Camping states he has attempted to work out mathematically-based prophecies in the Bible for decades. In an interview with SFGate he explained "...I was an engineer, I was very interested in the numbers. I'd wonder, 'Why did God put this number in, or that number in?' It was not a question of unbelief, it was a question of, 'There must be a reason for it.' "

A commonly cited argument in favor of the May 21st date is:

1. According to Camping, the number five equals "atonement", the number ten equals "completeness", and the number seventeen equals "heaven".

2. Christ is said to have hung on the cross on April 1, 33 AD. The time between April 1, 33 AD and April 1, 2011 is 1,978 years.

3. If 1,978 is multiplied by 365.2422 days (the number of days in a solar year, not to be confused with the lunar year), the result is 722,449.

4. The time between April 1 and May 21 is 51 days.

5. 51 added to 722,449 is 722,500.

6. (5 x 10 x 17)2 or (atonement x completeness x heaven)2 also equals 722,500.

Thus, Camping concludes that 5 x 10 x 17 is telling us a "story from the time Christ made payment for our sins until we're completely saved."

"I know it's absolutely true, because the Bible is always absolutely true."

— Harold Camping, president, Family Radio

Criticism

James Kreuger, author of the book Secrets of the Apocalypse - Revealed, has stated that while he believes the rapture is coming, Camping is incorrectly attempting to nail down a date. "For all his learning, Camping makes a classic beginner's mistake when he sets a date for Christ's return," writes Kreuger. " Jesus himself said in Matthew 24:36, 'Of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my father only.' "

Theology professor Matthew L. Skinner, writing at the Huffington Post, notes the "long history of failed speculation" about the end of the world and cautions that end-of-the-world talk can lead Christians to social passivity instead of "working for the world's redemption".

New planet proves life exists outside universe

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 05:02:00 -0700

Holic, a plush planet years away, possibly relatively inhabited, left four ominous omens, laboriously sending dynamic alerts last March 31, 2011.

Scientists at the Russian Federal Space Agency, NASA and Search for Extraterrestrial Life Institute have been working together, under the radar literally, compiling data received in June 2009 and have now officially confirmed the existence of intelligent life outside planet Earth.

The planet is being recognized by the Russian scientist to first put the pieces to the puzzle together, Yegor Holic, 68, who has worked on projects searching for extraterrestrial life since 1978.

"The first signal I had received was very confusing because it was a familiar voice and in English," said Mr. Holic.

Mr. Holic had just sat down at his station in Kazakhstan after his lunch, when data started filing his computer. The information was a binary code of data that he had never seen before.

Over the next few weeks a billion bits of binary code, a complex series of digits only consisting of 1s and 0s, were recognized as audio files and compiled to be played before the heads of each agency that has assisted in the program.

"You can only imagine the surprise when our first connection to another planet was the voice of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States of America," said Mr. Holic.

The signal was a recording of a speech made to Congress in 1961 that has been traveling through the universe, where it arrived at Holic, in 1985.

Apparently, the scientists of Holic deciphered the signal, possibly believing it was meant for them specifically and not a message to the United States Congress.

In his address, President Kennedy discusses his plans to strengthen the economy in response to the recent recession, advocates increased defense spending and support for the nation's space program and addresses the possible spread of communist ideology through Latin America and Southeast Asia.

"We know this was not just a reflected signal that bounced back to earth, because the data that was included had images of the planet Holic and information on their culture, which we are still deciphering," said Derrik Richter, a German astrophysicist the SETI Institute.

"Each transmission takes nearly 25 years to travel from one planet to another until we can develop a way to speed the process, which we are working on right now," Mr. Richter said.

The new planet has similarities to earth in that it is also nearly 90 million miles from its sun, has an atmospheric mixture of nitrogen and oxygen and has one satellite rotating in orbit around Holic.

"Holic is located more than 156 light years away from earth, making travel in our current technology impossible, so right now, I can be content just knowing that life exists elsewhere in our vast universe and that our decades of work has not been for naught." said Professor Vlad Bolnov of the Lomonosov Moscow State University.

"This is the tip of the proverbial iceberg,"said Mr. Holic. "The generations that follow ours will be the ones who reap the rewards of first contact."
