Image
The year 2012 is about to end and highlights of the year are now being compiled. Among the many highlights of 2012 are the top videos uploaded and seen and shared in Youtube. There have been many videos across the globe that went viral this 2012. Here are some of the most viral videos uploaded and seen in Youtube in 2012. Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" is this year's most LSS-song. Here is one version of the song which has reached more than 17 million views. How to make your video viral in 2013? Do the song shirtless in a public square. And by the way, you have to look like a supermodel too. Wear an old-fashion dark shades and dance some weird steps and sing a song in a foreign language and I can guarantee you your video will turn viral this 2013. Or at least that's what happened with Psy's Gangnam Style video which already reached more than a billion views. I don't know if "experts" or even statistics would agree with me but this w...

Last Minute Fireworks Purchase

Image
For those living in Bacolod City and are planning to light up some "legal" fireworks, locally produced fireworks are being sold right beside the New Government Center. I was there a week ago and bought some sparklers and "luces". There was one guy who even approached me and asked, "ano atun to? Gusto mo Goodbye Philippines? Goodbye NGC?" (What are you looking for? Good-bye Philippines? Good-bye NGC?") Goodbye Philippines and Goodbye NGC are names of supposedly very powerful firecrackers. I politely declined after giving out a good laugh. Goodbye NGC? That's a first. NGC refers to the New Government Center. Anyway, for those who are still on a last minute rush to buy some fireworks and a few firecrackers as well, the vendors are situated right at the left side of the NGC if you are coming from Lopue's East. Lopue's East also sells fireworks produced by Dragon Fireworks. View Larger Map Of course, always consider safety when you dec...

The Year 2010

The year 2010 has now been added in the history books. Personally, it has been one roller-coaster ride for me. It will remain however an unforgettable year for me. The “ups” were as memorable as the “downs”. One word though can encapsulate the entire year: Adventure. The year of travel and adventure started during the first quarter when I was blest enough to bring my own family to Hong Kong for a much needed R&R. It was our first travel outside of the country and perhaps a prelude to more travels abroad. The vacation came in the middle of so much stress especially from work. I was a former municipal health officer and while I loved my job and didn’t even consider it a job, some situations could always ruin the joyous exhilaration attached to the experience. It was definitely frustrating for an idealistic person like me to experience such political maneuvering from people who would think nothing except themselves. Such tragedy faced by many in public health service came straight for...

What Happened In New Year's Eve

Image
Just posted a video of our family celebrating the coming of the New Year. The song I Got A Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas is used in this video without any intention of violating copyrights. It's just that this song I think is the best hit of 2009 and aptly describes the memorable event for my family. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ut0NJWOIs0 This video was edited by Imagemixer and the shots were my first try while handling my first video cam I bought during the last day of 2009.

New Year's Eve

Image
The New Year's eve celebrations at home last night was by far the best that we ever had. We bought so many fireworks we still have some left for the following night. We also prepared so many food we had a hard time trying to fit them all in our small refrigerator. It was a fun night and I had fun especially taking videos of our celebration. I bought a video cam out of my savings from my DTTB salary as my remembrance of my DTTB experience. December 31, 2009 is my last day as a DTTB. I am now "devolved". After the fireworks, we all went inside our dining room, had our traditional family prayers and then ate our media noche dinner: the ever-present spaghetti, salad, cakes, chicken, ham, drinks, sweets, soup, etc. While having our media noche dinner, we all watched the videos I took earlier on TV. The kids were enjoying it, especially my daughter who was screaming every time we lit up one of our fireworks. She also tried holding one of those sparklers we bought and was enjoyi...
