Dwyane Wade is the MVP of the 2010 NBA All Star Game


It was a very close game before a record-breaking 108,713 fans in the Dallas Cowboy's stadium but the East edged the West with a score of 141 to 139. It was again another exciting All Star game with first 3 quarters of fun and last quarter of pure basketball. The race to the game's MVP was also exciting as Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chrish Bosh of the East All Stars, with Carmelo Anthony of the West, vied for the best player of the game. At the end, when East won, it was all Wade's day as he was declared the MVP. Well, the Miami's superstar deserved to be the one to be named the best player of the game for he had put on a very good performance.

By the way, I've voted for Wade to be MVP on NBA.com. Wahahaha!

The Ullalim Festival is launched today

The Kalinga Day (Ullalim Festival) celebration launched today; too bad for me I cannot be there. I always wanted to participate for the activities there; like the street dancing, join my tribe play the gongs. Anyways, I'm proud to be a Kalinga and am very thankful to all those people who had made the Ullalim Festival as good as it gets. We should be proud of our beloved homeland!


iKALINGA T-Shirts

The iKALINGA t-shirts that I've designed is now on sale at the trade-fair area; so go and grab yours now!


Helpful site for RadTechs

My cousin, who is a B.S. in RadTech (Radiologic Technology) student, called me the other day asking for help about websites that he can visit to know more about his chosen college course. He was actually trying to finish a report about being a radiology technician which is due in two days. Having a good and fast internet connection, I couldn't say 'no' to him. Besides, it is always good to help others.

So I went on and searched the world wide web for good sites related to radiology technician. After sorting some prospects there is this one webpage that had caught my attention the most; it is Radiology Technician, the page title alone had sent a message to me that I could get helpful and valuable information from it. After knowing that the website is indeed a good one, I, immediately, called back my cousin and told him about this. He was very thankful and happy for he would definitely finish his report about radiology technician. The last thing that he had told me was that he will be sharing the URL to his classmates; good idea, I thought.

Kalinga Day (Ullalim Festival)

I believe this would be the fourth time in a row that I cannot attend the celebration of the Kalinga Day or Ullalim Festival in my beloved homeland. How sad, so sad for me. I filed a leave last January for me to attend this event however the request was not approved; it's really hard to get a vacation leave be approved for the month of February. Especially that the Ullalim Festival is celebrated during the Valentine's Day. I really want to go home for I have also some merchandise to sell during the trade-fair; the iKALINGA T-Shirts.

They say If you want, there's always a way; well there is indeed a way for me to be in Kalinga and that is to be absent for my work. Hmmmm, tempting but my job would be at stake, if in case.

As it was before, the only way I had viewed what had happened last 2009 Ullalim Festival was through the internet; the news articles, photos and videos posted by my fellow iKalingas. I think it would be the same way again. Arrrgggh!

HowToBecome: What do you want to be?

I always wanted to be a successful graphic designer ever since my high-school days. Though I've already worked for a local newspaper as a cartoonist and also I've been a layout artist for my college school-paper I still cannot consider myself as a very good graphic designer. I've been asking myself "how can I be the person that I want to be?"

The world wide web is always a good source of helpful information that would guide us to reach our own goals. I am saying this for there was this one time when I was browsing the net and came across the website of HowToBecome.info where I was able to read very good and encouraging articles about our ambitions and goals in life. The website is full of information; believe me, it is where I was able to read suggestions about being a graphic designer. It is also a Career Article Directory, read articles related to whatever you want to be. This website is good, really good.

Free Press Release: Another very helpful site

A website full of helpful information is a good site.

Earlier I was browsing the world wide web for additional information that I could use for my other blog related to mixed martial arts (MMA) and boxing when I came across the website of Free Press Release, from there I was able to read helpful information pertaining to MMA. I also remember that, before, one of my friends had suggested this site to me to be an informative site but I just didn't have the time to browse for it; I realized he was correct.

So if you want to know more about anything (yes, anything), from sports to money-making tips, just visit Free Press Release by going to www.free-press-release.com. Believe me, this site is helpful.

Thank you Gloria?

"Salamat po! Pangulong Gloria Macapagal Arroyo sa footbridge na to." [Thank you! President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for this foot bridge.]

That's what is written on large streamers hanging on some of the footbridges along the Quezon Avenue, a major road, in Quezon City.

I can't help but ask myself why would these streamers be put there since those footbridges had been built years back. Yes the footbridges might be built during the term of Arroyo but why thank her only now? The 'thank you' message could have been done long time ago. On the other hand, I believe what was used for these infrastructures is the money of the people; the taxes that we are paying for. Correct me if I'm wrong about this.

So it should be us, the people, who deserved to be thanked not her only.

Another thing, on one of the footbridges, just beside the streamer is a notice I believe from the Commission on Elections (COMELEC), if I'm not mistaken, where a line of the message says "..political propaganda is strictly prohibited along the major roads of Quezon City.." Beat that!
