So here's the catch. While I am still on a hang-over mode and going gaga over the just finished COSMO BACHELOR BASH 2012 (http://baremenskin.blogspot.com/2012/09/cosmo-bachelor-bash-2012-cosmo-men-unite.html), I suddenly found myself listening to his new album loaded in twitmusic. Then I just suddenly dazed by his version of Call me Maybe, take note of this - a jazz version of the said hit song. Odd? Wait till you hear it with your own ears and your world will surely go crazy and it will steal your soul. Hahaha.
I think the album is still out on most of the record bars nationwide. Grab a copy now and fall in love with this crooner hunk. And of course with the above mentioned BACHELOR BASH 2012, his great physique is displayed in his MTV's for your enjoyment. Hahaha.
For the third time, Maroon 5 will invade Philippines!!! Did you have your concert tickets already? Cellphone, digicams, route plans? Well be prepared and enjoy the Maroon 5 tonight, live at ARANETA Coliseum.
Though I have different plans tonight [as I will be going south - to World Trade Center for COSMO BACHELOR BASH 2012], I am still excited about the concert. Well some of my friends really spent their life's savings to attend the premiere concert this September. The tickets are very fast to disappear as if it is on SALE when in fact it is really expensive. Hahaha.
Here are the expected SETLIST for tonight (Source: SETLIST)
We might be steps behind other countries when it comes to technology and cyber laws but as saying goes "Better be late than never". President Benigno "NoyNoy" Aquino III finally signed the Republic Act 10175 or the Anti-Cybercrime Law. The law will take full effect after 90 days wherein the new law will be publicized through newspaper, government website, and other means of communications.
The new law will cover most of today's crime in the virtual world such as but not limited to illegal access, illegal interception, data and/or system interference of any computer data/system/electronic documents/electronic data message, misuse of any devices, and cyber-squatting; offenses which covers computer related forgery, fraud, identity theft, cybersex, child pornography etc.
Penalties differ from Php50,000.00 to Php10,000,000.00 and prison mayor to arresto mayor. This will depend on the offense committed. The authorities that will implement the law will be DOJ, Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) - an inter-agency body, DOST, DILG.
Rumors have been proven to be true! iPHONE 5 is finally here.
The launch of the new unit in the iPHONE series tagged as the tinniest and lightest iPhone ever caused a commotion in the technology world. Almost everyone is excited to see the new iphone and what is really new in this new design; that includes the manufacturer's competitors.
With the new 4" inch retina screen, this is surely a hit with a clearer and better view for your normal functions. It is said also to produce more pixels which will give consumers a more crisp and better satisfaction when it comes to display.
The phone is also encased in all new 7.6mm anodized aluminum body that claimed by iPhone as 18%thinner and 20% lighter than its predecessor [iPhone4s]. The iOS6 will give more impact in using the new device with all new maps, system integrated Facebook, and a better version of Siri.
They also claimed that Wireless technology will be faster in this new device - with LTE and DC-HSPDA as its wireless standards. Together with the new functions, the battery has been improved to cope up with all its basic operations.
Looking at the design, the back panel is smoother than the 4s and the side giving a better elegant look. The sleek design has anodized aluminum body with diamond cut chamfered edges and glass inlays to better represent the phone to the public. Elegance and usability at one piece.
The redesigning of the new unit was a big leap from the traditional iphone look with improvements only on internal parts and functions. But innovation has never stopped, proven by Apple as they take the risk of getting out of their shells and think outside the box they are in.
The phone is much taller but not wider - not wanting to take away ergonomics with this new phone.
The phone has also 8 megapixel iSight camera, the best in the world today which will make stunning still photos and almost HD like videos. Panorama shot will be excellent too as proclaimed by iPhone.
Availability of the product as per official Apple website.

I was Grade 5 when this tragic event happened and I vaguely remember this as my attention was diverted elsewhere as a child.
The first opener for me was when I watched the film "UNITED 93". Curiosity and mixed emotions (anger, sympathy, sadness) when I watched the film led me to the untold story of 2001, when I am not interested yet in current events and news.
ANGER. This is the first thing that I felt upon seeing pictures of 911 attack. It is a hideous act towards nation and humanity. Terrorism led us nowhere but hatred [to each other], pain [for the victims], and endless wars. The al-Qaeda are plain stupid and evils for making the world a more dangerous place due to their existence. Regardless of their intentions and sentiments, their actions put the world in great ordeal of pain and agony. It is morally wrong in the law of human and God, nor justified anything that the terrorists are fighting for.
Many people died, many lives have been devastated and emotions flooded America and each country of the seven continents around the EARTH.
Today [or moments later], the whole world will be commemorating the 11th anniversary since the cataclysmic event in USA soils that changed how the whole world moves in airborne, military preparedness, and in every aspect of human, political, social lives etc.
Once more, I uttermost prayers for war-free, better, sustainable, safe, and peaceful world. May people who have been terrorized and continuously suffering from the pain and handful bad emotions brought by the 9/11 attacks vanish and forever heal.

"Plagiarism is defined in dictionaries as the "wrongful appropriation," "close imitation," or "purloining and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions," and the representation of them as one's own original work". (from Wikipedia)
Philippine Senator has been on the hot seat twice in a row due to plagiarism in his delivered speeches opposing the hot topic RH (Reproduction Health) Bill.
A English degree holder politician and actor has been suspected for copying speech from late US Senator Robert Kennedy and from blog entry of Sarah Pope.
Personally, I wonder why a Senator would copied and delivered the same for his speeches in order to defend his stand on the RH Bill. Shouldn't be a senator must be capable at least of defending his arguments on his own? An educated person just photocopying other ideas and minds is not only a thief but a plain stupid (sorry for the harsh word but I really hate when politicians showcase their stupidity and prove that they have no right to be in their seats).
With all his staffs, he wasn't still able to deliver a good speech. It is okay to copy quotes of speech from different person, with respect of acknowledging the source. But to retort and re-align your speech reference and making the public believe that it is your own idea is another thing. "The legislature in any society
performs the important function of
deliberating policies for
the people and passing them in the form of
statutes." - Taken from the Senate of the Philippines website
As stated on the quote above, with this responsibility of the Senate, would he still copy other policies and adapt it here in the Philippines? The main problem here is not the plagiarism issue per se, but the capability and competence of the Senator to perform his duties and responsibilities as a member of the Senate.
If a mere speech cannot be delivered outright then how can he be a SENATOR? Once can be forgiven, but twice? You are making me laugh. If I will be the Senate President, I will send a motion for the removal from his office of this incompetent Senator. He is just wasting the taxpayer's money.
