Dolphin Tale


This is a fun adventure about the healing bonds of family, both human and animal.  This is a  heartwarming  story centered on the friendship between a boy and a dolphin. A lonely and friendless boy finds and untangles a hurt dolphin   whose tail was caught in a crab trap.  He becomes very attached to the dolphin when the tail must be taken off to save the dolphin's life. The boy believes the dolphin would be able to swim normally if it was given a prosthetic tail.


“Dolphin Tale” introduces the screen's cutest, most adorable mammal star yet – the dolphin Winter.


Nathan Gamble stars as Sawyer, an eleven year-old boy who helps a dolphin he and a fisherman find stranded on a beach, her tail wrapped up in the ropes attached to a crab pot. Sawyer, a social outcast who is struggling in school, finds new purpose in saving this animal. Cozi Zuehlsdorff is Hazel, the girl who comes with her marine veterinarian dad (Harry Connick Jr.) and a crew from the nearby marine hospital to pick up Winter, as they call her, and try to save her.


Sawyer fibs to his mom (Ashley Judd) and plays hooky from school to stay with Winter, who bonds with the boy who cut ropes from her tail, a tail she eventually loses due to injuries. But as Sawyer’s wounded soldier-cousin returns home from combat to a Veteran’s Administration hospital full of men who are being fitted with artificial limbs, the kid gets the idea to have a prosthetic specialist (Morgan Freeman) see what he can work out for the poor dolphin missing her tail.
Freeman does his adorable curmudgeon thing. Kris Kristoffersen is Hazel’s crinkly-eyed grandpa who looks, approvingly, on all the life lessons the little dolphin is teaching his son and granddaughter and her new best friend.


“Dolphin Tale” is movie of cute scenes and cuter ingredients — the cranky pelican who rules the roost at the aquarium, the way Hazel and her dad live on a houseboat that looks like a Disney World castaways attraction, for instance. The melodrama kicks in as the marine hospital and aquarium are struggling to stay afloat, battered by a hurricane, coveted by a hotel developer (Winter Park actor Tom Nowicki in a nice turn).

If you love animals and/or Dolphins..you too will love Dolphin Tale!

This is written by Douglas Young.  Directed by  Charles Martin Smith . 
Cast: Harry Connick Jr. Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd, Frances Sternhagen, Tom Nowkicki.

Top 10 Reasons Why There Couldn't Be a Filipino-American US President By David Letterman

 I just saw this in Facebook posts by many ... David Letterman really did this on his show? Really funny, hilarious and it's true !




Top 10 Reasons Why There Couldn't Be a Filipino-American US President
By David Letterman


10. The White House is not big enough for in-laws and extended relatives.

9.  There are not enough parking spaces at the White House for 2 Honda Civics,
     2 Toyota Land Cruisers, 3 Toyota Corollas, a Mercedes Benz, a BMW , and
     an MPV (My Pinoy Van).

8.  Dignitaries generally are intimidated by eating with their fingers at State dinners.

7.  There are too many dining rooms in the White House – where will they put
     the picture of the Last Supper?

6. The White House walls are not big enough to hold a pair of giant wooden
     spoon and fork.

5. Secret Service staff won't respond to "psst… psst" or "hoy.hoyhoy!"

4. Secret Service staff will not be comfortable driving the presidential car with a Holy Rosary 
     hanging on the rear view mirror, or the statue of the Santo Nino on the dashboard.

3. No budget allocation to purchase a Karaoke music-machine for every room in the White House.

2. State dinners do not allow "Take Home".

AND THE NUMBER I REASON WHY THERE COULDN'T BE A FILIPINO-AMERICAN U.S. PRESIDENT IS…

1. Air Force One does not allow overweight Balikbayan boxes!!

Bruno Mars with his newest single "It Will Rain"

"It Will Rain" is part of the soundtrack of the highly anticipated movie
"Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1."



Bruno Mars - It Will Rain Lyrics

If you ever leave me, baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore.

There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my leaves are on the floor
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'
Will keep you by my side
Will keep you from walkin' out the door.

Cause there'll be no more sunlight
if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
if I lose you, baby
Just let the clouds, I
I will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain

I'll never be your mother's favorite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Oooh if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
Sayin there goes my little girl
walkin' with that troublesome guy

But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
Oooh well little darlin' watch me change their minds
Yea for you I'll try I'll try I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
That'll make you mine

Cause there'll be no more sunlight
if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds, I
I will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain

I'll do the same
goodbye, don't just say, goodbye
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
That'll make it right

Cause there'll be no more sunlight
if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds, I
I will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain

Adele's 'Someone Like You'

Adele has created a Billboard upset with the rise of her song “Someone Like You” from spot 19 to 1 on the music charts. It is the biggest jump in history for a song that is not a single.



"Someone Like You" is a song by British singer-songwriter Adele. Written by Adele and Dan Wilson for her second studio album 21, the song was inspired by a broken relationship of hers, and lyrically it speaks of Adele coming to terms with it.



I heard that your settled down.
That you found a girl and your married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend why are you so shy?
It ain't like you to hold back or hide from the lie.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited.
But I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Nevermind I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me I beg I remember you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead yeah.


You'd know how the time flies.
Only yesterday was the time of our lives.
We were born and raised in a summery haze.
Bound by the surprise of our glory days.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over yet.

Nevermind I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me I beg I remember you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead" yay.

Nothing compares no worries or cares.
Regret's and mistakes they're memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Nevermind I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me I beg I remembered you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"

Nevermind I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me I beg I remembered you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead yay yeh yeah


It was reported that the music video for the song was already filmed in Paris, France and it was directed by English director Jake Nava. Several black-and-white pictures which showed Adele "gazing out over a river against a cloudy backdrop" were also posted.. Talking about the video, Nava said, "The location evokes style and romance. And shooting early in the morning allows you to focus on Adele in this lonely and emotional space." The video will be premiered on 29 September at 7:56 p.m. EST on MTV and VEVO.James Montgomery of MTV News called it "a somber, black-and-white affair, featuring Adele wandering the early morning streets and pining for her long-lost love. It's a perfect match for the song's jaw-dropping emotional range — raw and unfiltered and incredibly sad but also, in a lot of ways, beautiful and resolute."


Adele (born Adele Laurie Blue Adkins) is a Grammy-winning British singer-songwriter who popularized the chart-topping song "Rolling in the Deep." She is currently in the middle of her "Adele Live" concert tour which kicked off last March 2011 and scheduled in various cities in North America and Europe in the coming months.

Steps To Happiness

Everybody Knows:
You can't be all things to all people.
You can't do all things at once.
You can't do all things equally well.
You can't do all things better than everyone else.
Your humanity is showing just like everyone else's.



So:

You have to find out who you are, and be that.
You have to decide what comes first, and do that.
You have to discover your strengths, and use them.
You have to learn not to compete with others,
Because no one else is in the contest of *being you*. 



Then:  


You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.
You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.
You will have learned to live with your limitations.
You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due.
And you'll be a most vital mortal.


Dare To Believe:

That you are a wonderful, unique person.
That you are a once-in-all-history event.
That it's more than a right, it's your duty, to be who you are.
That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish.
And we'll be able to stay one up on what used to get us.

May God Bless you and keep you safe,

Statement of President Aquino on Typhoon Pedring, September 27, 2011

Statement of
His Excellency Benigno S. Aquino III
President of the Philippines
On Typhoon Pedring

[Released on September 27, 2011]

I have been in touch with Secretaries Soliman, Gazmin, and Almendras. I have instructed the Executive Secretary to compile information from NDRMMC and to inform our people of conditions as well as of government efforts to mitigate the effects of the storm.

From Secretary Soliman, there have been two casualties thus far, in Maguindanao where there is severe flooding. People have not evacuated as they prefer to stay with their relatives: nonetheless relief packs have been readied and are being distributed.

In Camarines Sur and Albay, preventive evacuations are ongoing.

Thirty-seven percent of Meralco service area is without power due to tripping caused by high winds. Now that the winds have abated, Meralco is working on restoring power to affected areas. In Aurora and Isabela, we are awaiting the passage of the storm to restore service.

In Marikina, the water level is not yet in the critical level but there are ongoing voluntary evacuations.
I am in constant touch with these members of my cabinet and the Executive Secretary has been instructed to keep me and the public informed of conditions pertaining as well as mitigation efforts.

proudly celebrates its 20th year of unprecedented success in featuring stories that are not only rich in values, but also mirrors the Filipino soul and humanity.



Started in 1991, "MMK" continuously inspires people with different real-life stories sent through letters. For 20 years now,"MMK" remains to be undisputed drama-anthology even though other networks used to imitate its format.

Charo Santos-Concio, ABS-CBN President who’s also the host of MMK, cordially invites everyone to celebrate with the show’s two-decade victory in a documentary special, including a much-awaited heart-to-heart interview to be done by no less than another powerful woman, who is as successful in her field, Star for All Seasons Vilma Santos. It’s very rare to see two pillars of the Philippine television in a special tete-a-tete to be witnessed by Filipinos all over the world.

With this documentary special, which airs this September 25, Sunday’s Best on ABS-CBN, MMK reminisces on its valuable relationship with its millions of loyal viewers for the past 20 years. It has successfully connected with everyone–barring gender, age or wealth, and has touched, inspired and changed lives of Filipinos.


MMK 20th Anniversary Special also aims to recollect and share again with each other all Filipino values, life lessons, challenges and redemptions as it recalls the unforgettable real life stories—from the viewpoint of “real people.”

Most sought after Kapamilya stars Piolo Pascual, KC Concepcion, Sam Milby, Jericho Rosales, Vhong Navarro, Angelica Panganiban and other artists who have become part of MMK’s continuing legacy will also share how did portraying different roles have changed their lives.

“Sa loob ng mahabang panahon, kabahagi na namin kayo sa pagbuo ng magagandang alaala, dahil kayo ang aming inspirasyon. At bilang pasasalamat , ngayong buwan ng Oktubre, espesyal ang bawat Sabado ng gabi, Kapamilya. Ipagdiwang natin ang 20 taon nating pinagsamahan,” goes Santos-Concio’s invitation.

Also, this October MMK will present its anniversary episodes—starring some of the brightest actors in the industry—shot in some of the world’s most magnificent places.  Catch MMK’s “Palawan,” “Bukidnon-Happy Feet,” “Barcelona,” “Aurora” and “Canada” episodes, Saturdays, after “Wansapanataym” on ABS-CBN.


Then and now, Ms. Charo Santos-Concio is the host of the said drama anthology. Her trademark, the way she hosted the show is now a television legacy. 


Happy 20th Anniversary "MMK!"

Dear Facebook: Enough, already. Our outrage can't keep up with your changes

by Lylah M. Alphonse, Senior Editor, Manage Your Life


It's time to be outraged about Facebook again...

No matter how many times the Facebook gods make changes to that social network's site, users are up in arms—and they flock to Facebook to talk about it. Here's a rundown of some of the funniest, on-target gripes we've seen about the latest raft of Facebook changes that were rolled out on Thursday. All photos from Facebook, of course.


Appalled? Read this


Every joke has a kernel of truth.
















It's like the Russian Doll of Facebook
A Facebook feed within a Facebook feed? There lies madness.



Well, isn't that what it's for?




What's a status update for if not for venting? And right now, many users are venting about the same thing.







It could be worse. They could have called it "Facebookster"









We wonder what Netflix CEO Reed Hasting's Facebook status is right now?








When in doubt, ask some puppies


Designer Marnie MacLean worked through the seven stages of Facebook grief—shock, confusion, indignation, activism, flounce, distraction, and acceptance—with the help of some adorable puppies. Extreme times call for extreme measures...


Ah, perspective...

Frankly, we prefer to distract ourselves with news about elephants that can paint. But if the Facebook changes are really troubling you, there are three things you can try to make it look a bit more like it used to: 

Cnet.com describes Better Facebook as "a Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Opera extension that's been around for a few years now"; it allows users to customize the Facebook features that they love (or hate) most.

A Facebook group called "I Hate the New Facebook Profile" offers a quick way to make the new news feed look more like the old one: Create a customized list that includes all of your Facebook friends, then add the new list to your favorites; when you click on it from the home page, your news feed will look the way it used to.

Google Chrome users can take advantage of a free plug in to remove the new Facebook news ticker feed. It's called—you guessed it—The Facebook News Ticker Remover.
