It is very disheartening to hear that ex President Corazon “Cory” Aquino is suffering from colon cancer or large bowel cancer. Having met a few large bowel cancer sufferer, it reminded me that the most common symptoms are a change in bowel habit i.e alternating diarrhoea and constipation, the presence of bloody or tarry stools and some abdominal pain. If you experience any of this symptoms it is essential to seek medical help to identify the problem. As other health problems may present similarly as the aforementioned symptoms.

Aren’t you all fascinated by stories of mermaid. Dyesebel, the popular mermaid in the Philippines, had been shown in the cinemas numerous times by a variety of well known actresses over the past few decades.
It is not surprising that there’s another Dyesebel movie yet to come. This time, Dyesebel will be portrayed by no other than Marian Rivera. There’s a little twist as Marian Rivera will showcase such an amazing tail of a fish. But let’s do hope they have more to offer than just the tail. Find out more on this video:
It’s time to say goodbye to - Chikezie. Chikezie Eze is the the most recent American Idol 2008 Season 7 contestant that had been ousted from the competition. We’ve got to be positive here. Chikezie had been chosen from thousands of American Idol hopefuls across the whole of USA. To be included in the Top 24 and even be in the American idol Top 10 is truly an amazing achievement. Chikezie had been a fantastic American Idol 2008 contestant and surely has some potentials but unfortunately he’s reached the end of the road, on American Idol Season 7 at least.
All the best mate.
Meanwhile, the top 9 American Idol 2008 contestants will have to battle it all out again on next week’s competition.

I’ve just been told that Manila Ocean Park is now open to the public. Manila Ocean Park is a P1 billion project to help boost tourism in the Philippines. The Manila Oceanarium is situated near Luneta, Quirino Grandstand. From the video coverage of the ocean park by Mel and Joey it does appear to be a spectacular attraction. I do hope that this is the beginning of more developments not only in the capital but across the country.
You can start your journey to Manila Ocean Park by watching this video:

Friendster has invaded the majority of Asian population and that includes Filipinos worldwide. I’m a user myself. I recently received a message from one of the Friendster users telling me to forward the message about the fate of Friendster.com.
Friendster system is getting too crowded!! We need you to forward this to at least 20 people. I know this seems like a large number, but we need to find out who is really using their account. If you do not send this to at least 10 Friendster members, we will delete your account.
WARNING!
We want to find out which users are actually using their Friendster accounts. So if you are using your account, please pass this e-mail to every Friendster user that you can.
I knew, it’s just hoax. So, I didn’t even bother to pass on the message. This is not at all an attack on Friendster nor an attempt to lure Pinoys to become member of the newest Filipino Online Community, Pinoy United.
Friendster even confirmed the falseness of the said message:
If you have been forwarded a hoax chain letter from a non-existent Allen Smith in regard to Friendster becoming too crowded and deleting accounts, ignore it. This is a hoax that has been around for nearly two years. Please tell your friends to stop forwarding this hoax announcement.
Friendster is not closing. Friendster will make any announcements to members in the alert section of your home page.
This is a little too early but would it not be interesting to find out what’s in store for the coming 110th Philippine Independence day 2008 celebration in London and across the UK.
Last year’s celebration, Filipinos in and out of London had gathered over the weekend to celebrate the 109th Philippine Independence Day in a Surrey park . Thousands had witnessed the two day event which was organised by KASAPI UK. Though it had rained on and off (very unusual!!!) throughout the whole event, everyone had braced the weather and absolutely enjoyed the presentation.
Digital photography and cheap portable data storage had led to the “just take a snap here, there and everywhere” attitude. Who cares, there’s no film to be wasted and you can just delete those unwanted ones afterwards.
This has led to the emergence of another niche in the market - Digital Photo Frame.
A digital photo frame is a picture frame that displays digital photos without the need to print them. You can just attach/record those photos on your spare memory card. Although not intended to completely replace traditional photo albums, it will help reduce those big piles of album you store at home. Some of which is most likely not being looked at anyway and hidden in the attic. This saves you money from printing them all out.
With the Digital Photo Frame, It means no more bulky photo albums to view those snaps.
It comes in 6 to 10 inch frame - designed by a variety of electronics company.
It’s easy to use - you simply pop the memory card from your camera into the back and switch it on.
View every photo you take and short movie clip you take, with sound; independent to your PC
No need for any complicated instructions to operate
It can be powered using a battery or using the mains adaptor.
Affordable? It ranges from £35 to over £100’s
A couple of our friends were very pleased to have received it as our Christmas pressies to them.
