Earth Hour: Philippines had the most cities going dark

I just read this news from a co-Plurker, and since I'm proud to have participated saving Mother Earth I've decided to share this lovely news to all proud Pinoys who wasn't afraid of the dark - who turned off their lights and turned on a much brighter future.

EARTH HOUR
Philippines had the most cities going dark
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 03:24:00 03/29/2009

MANILA, Philippines — It was lights out at exactly 8:30 Saturday night in Makati City, as well as in most parts of the Philippines, as the city switched off electricity power for one hour in solidarity with 2,397 cities and towns in 83 countries all over the world to observe Earth Hour, a global activity to raise awareness of climate change and global warming.

Yeb Sano of World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in the Philippines (WWF) said the Philippines had the most number of cities and towns participating in the event. Hours before the countdown, he told Inquirer that a total of 647 cities and municipalities around the country had pledged to sign up for Earth Hour.

Ranked a distant second was Greece, with 484 cities and towns, followed by Australia with 309, Canada with 273 and the United States with 270.

As Earth Hour’s Official Flagship City in the Philippines, Makati led the country in observing the event, with the designated Earth Hour ambassador, Mayor Jejomar Binay, representatives of WWF and other environmental groups leading the countdown to the ceremonial switch-off at Tower One on Ayala Avenue, the heart of the country’s financial district.

“The city’s observance of Earth Hour is another testament to Makati’s wholehearted commitment to the global crusade to save our environment,” Binay said before the switch-off.

“The sight of various stakeholders — from the city’s ‘barangay’ [neighborhood districts], schools, civic-oriented and religious groups, the business community, led by the Ayala conglomerate, the diplomatic corps — gathered here for a singular purpose, clearly shows how seriously committed we all are. What we will do might seem a simple act. But this act done simultaneously in households and establishments in cities all over the nation and the world, when taken altogether, can make a tangible impact on global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”

As sirens from fire trucks and police cars wailed and church bells rang on cue, street lights in the city’s principal roads and electricity in all public buildings were turned off. Business establishments like restaurants and fun venues dimmed their lights to express their support.

Launched in Australia in 2007, Earth Hour is a global event involving the voluntary shut-off of electricity in homes, offices, public places and commercial establishments for one hour from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. in all time zones to express support for environmental issues.

“The local response was astonishing,” said WWF’s Sano. Provinces from Cagayan in the north to Sulu and Tawi-Tawi in the south expressed their intention to participate, making it the largest environment-themed event in the country, he said, adding that their target was to save 500 megawatts [of electricity], or the equivalent of shutting down 10 coal-fired power plants, for one hour.”

After Earth Hour, what next?

“When the lights are back, we should think about switching onto a more sustainable future,” Sano said.

“Earth Hour is really a symbolic act,” he said. “We should be practicing energy conservation and environmental consciousness every day, and in any way we can. In our own simple way, each of us can contribute to being more conscious about our impact on the environment, and how much we could save on electricity and water.”

With the hoopla over, Sano said he hoped citizens would have “a brand new relationship with the true entity that gives us true light, and that is Mother Nature.” Alcuin Papa

Britney Spears fansite [forced] to close!


If you have been a fan of the legendary Ms. Spears since day one, then probably you can name at least 5 fansites about her; and if you can, I'm pretty sure you know WorldOfBritney.com (WoB) and what it has been through.

Recently BreatheHeavy.com (BH), claimed nowadays as Britney's number 1 fansite, has released a statement regarding the site's forced closure. Below is a complete copy of Jordan Miller's (site owner) press release. I'm still 50/50 about believing this one since Jordan used to do some April Fool's joke - I'm an avid reader of this site for years; but if this happens to be real, then f*ck Jamie Spears and all the conservatorship crap! Oh well, be the judge.


BREATHEHEAVY.COM FORCED TO CLOSE
27 Mar 2009, by Jordan Miller

Dear BreatheHeavy readers,

I, Jordan Miller, Owner & Webmaster of BreatheHeavy.com and BritneyRes.com, want to thank you with all my heart for the loyalty and support you’ve shown over the last 5 years BreatheHeavy has been open.

We are all here for one purpose: to support the icon of our generation, Britney Spears, and to continuously stick by her through the good and bad.

I have been battling the conservatorship Britney is currently placed under for months now. When I did not conform to the requests and demands Britney’s management and father, Jamie Spears, recently put upon BreatheHeavy to stay quiet, they in turn became angry and malicious, launching, what I feel is an unjust attack, against me and my website.

As a result, I received a legal notice from Jamie Spears’ lawyers pressuring me to close BreatheHeavy.com by 3:00 p.m. PST today, March 27, 2009, or face an injunction, claiming they will pursue legal action by Jamie Spears, who, as a conservator, is legally allowed to act as Britney and sue using her money and lawyers.

“Britney doesn’t control her affairs,” said Brad Rose, the lawyer representing Britney in this case in a telephone conversation.

“You are an uber fan who’s gone a little too far.”

The legal notice states BreatheHeavy is not in compliance of Copyright Infringement laws, violating Britney’s rights of publicity and privacy:
quote:

"The Infringing Sites are replete with willful, unauthorized and unlawful use and/or exploitation of: (i) the copyrighted lyrics to songs written and/or recorded by Ms. Spears; (ii) Ms. Spears's trademarked name, (iii) various video and audio recordings embodying the performances of Ms. Spears; and (iv) photographic images of Ms. Spears (owned or exclusively licensed to third parties by Ms. Spears).

The unauthorized use of these recordings, images, copyrighted works and trademarks constitutes actionable infringement under, inter alia, copyright and trademark law, and also violates Ms. Spears's rights of publicity and privacy."

"Ms. Spears will pursue damages and injunctive relief in connection with the blatant violation of her rights of publicity and privacy."

The real issue, in my opinion, is hidden behind these Copyright Infringement claims, rather management, particularly her father / conservator, Jamie Spears, who makes $18,000 a month off his daughter, is desperately trying to hide the truth about Britney’s imprisonment, and shut anyone up who disagrees with their conniving and selfish exploitation of an innocent mother of 2 pushed back into the lime-light just several months after a hospitalization.

Another issue the lawyers claim aside from “Copyright Infringement,” is the use Britney’s trademarked name and image, stating I am not allowed to use her name or picture except for editorial and hard news purposes only.

Additionally, the Google and TicketMaster ads placed around the website are a “major issue,” stating I am using Britney’s name and image for financial gain without her consent.

BreatheHeavy.com is a non-profitable website, meaning I, nor anyone, makes a PROFIT off the website. The ads used help the website remain self-sustainable, and if there is a profit made, the funds, in return, are used to purchase magazine scans and other materials needed for the website.

Am I crazy and naive for running a major website that leaves me in debt each month? Possibly, but BreatheHeavy is my passion, a creative outlet that has allowed me to grow as an individual.

Britney Spears is my inspiration; I can’t put a price on that.

Though I made very clear to the attorneys that BreatheHeavy is a non-profitable website, it is of no concern of theirs.

This entire site thrives because of YOU, the fans, who support Britney by buying tickets to her show, merchandise and music. Sadly, your hard-earned money that goes to supporting your favorite celebrity, is now money being used to potentially sue me, a major fan and supporter of Britney Spears, and hide fans from knowing the TRUTH.

This conservatorship Britney is placed under, which controls every aspect of her life, is now clenching the future of her biggest Fansite.

I’m prepared to fight, but I need to know that you guys are willing to fight with me.

I desperately need your help.

BreatheHeavy.com costs a minimum of $350.00 a month to run. Because I am not allowed to use ads to run the website any longer, as I am “using Britney Spears’s image for financial profit,” I am asking readers to donate money until the situation has been handled.

Paypal email address: breatheheavydotcom@gmail.com


Any donation will be greatly appreciated.

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, but I know with the support of fans and readers, this unjust bullying will come to an end, and one day Jamie Spears’ reign over his daughter, her money, lawyers, career and life will cease.

Please understand this is NOT my decision, and I am being FORCED to take desperate measures in an effort to save this website and stand up for what is right.

BreatheHeavy will remain up in the air until a resolution with her management, lawyers and father has been reached, if ever.

“I will destroy your ass,” threatened Jamie Spears to me in a telephone conversation.

This is not the end.

Love,
Jordan Miller, Owner & Webmaster of BreatheHeavy.com

Sarver not saved

Over 36 million votes came in last night for American Idol’s Motown week, a record-breaking moment for the show as its most received votes for a Top 10. But of course, someone has to leave – or be saved – and this time it was Michael Sarver. Sarver has been a favorite since his audition days for his talent and sense of living with his family. Though he started very strong, the competition became tougher each week; last week he was in the bottom 3 and was safe, but tonight he had the lowest number of votes and wasn’t saved by the judges either.

The Davids will be here!

Last year, it was announced that David Cook will be having his first solo concert here in the Philippines by January of 2009 - but where was he?

Now, he's really coming here to perform live at the SM Mall of Asia Open Grounds on May 16, 2009 with his runner-up [here's the part where we should be screaming] David Archuleta! Double treat! A good make-up for not being here last January.

This is one hell of a birthday treat for me! LOL! Ooh... I hope the Circus will come here too!!!

P.S.
Check the Davids' announcement video below:

Alexis gracefully(?) left the Idol stage

Quite contradictory to her second name, Alexis Grace didn’t showcase any gracefulness about her talent when the Top 13 started on the biggest Idol stage ever. She started so strong that even the slightest brink of pink hair was indeed flawless for her renewed package over the semi-finals. Her innocent looks matched with unbelievable talent impressed the four judges early on, but asked her to be naughty at times – so there she was: she took the advice, nailed her first performance during the semis and pierced through as the first female on the Top 13. Unfortunately though, Alexis struggled not only on picking the right song choice but also on her singing, and so tonight, she was the one voted off by America; and even her so-so encore of Jolene didn’t manage to impress the judges that much, so she wasn’t saved.

American Idol says goodbye to Jasmine and Jorge; reveals twist

And so there goes the charming wild card and soulful Puerto Rican.

The four American Idol judges always had a soft spot for the 20 year old Jorge Nunez; yes, including Cowell. Since his audition days and the Hollywood week, Nunez proved to be one of the few interesting yet serious competitors of season 8. During the Top 13’s first night, with the help of King of Pop Michael Jackson’s songbook as the gala’s theme, Nunez was lambasted for the first time by the judges particularly by Cowell for his rendition of Never Can Say Goodbye.












Meanwhile, 16 year old Jasmine Murray almost didn’t make it into the Top 13, but thanks to her commercial appeal, the judges picked her on the Wild Card night. Seen by the judges as one of the most current contestants this year with the likes of Rihanna, Murray won their hearts during her first audition as well. Her attempt of the Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey hit I’ll Be There seemed quite okay, but the judges felt no spark about it.

During the first results show, both Jasmine Murray and Jorge Nunez were sent home – and the shocking twist was revealed.

This season, the judges will have the power to save one contestant from being eliminated and that will only happen if the four unanimously agrees. In that case, no contestant will be eliminated for that particular week, but two will be sent home by the following week's results night. This twist may take effect until the top five is selected.

Why Friendster is full of crap?

Are you still that active in Friendster?

Hell yeah! Of corz!
 
 2

A lil bit..
 
 7

No. Period.
 
 2


Apparently, there have been a lot of changes with Philippines' No.1 Social Networking Site (if you still don't have a Facebook or Multiply account yet). Of course the admin wants their ever-loyal subscribers to feel more secured and entertained at the same time in the simplest way there is, but then again, profit is on top of their list like every businesses do. Recent upgrades were seen, however, the system gets duller and cheaper.

Here's my own list of why Friendster is full of crap:

1. The recent virus hiatus - who would ever forget that?
2. The new My Network Activity - spell BORING, all-caps.
3. The 2MB limit for each photo - do you know this? I've just discovered it earlier!
4. The unending applications which are really necessary for our daily living.
5. Lastly, the posers, attention-whores and the annoying growth of gangsta whatevs - burn the Bulletin Board!

D'ya have any rants like this?
Feel free to add the list.

Proud Graduate!






Photobucket


Finally! I can now boast that I'm a proud graduate of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila - College of Mass Communication Batch 2008. It took me almost a year in waiting for these pics (same old crappy system), and sadly I still wasn't able to get the hi-res softcopy of the edited ones - the scanned pics look really cheap! OMFG! I don't wanna rant the total cost of these here, I'm done with it. Anyways, indulge if you may...

The Secret Life of Beetch


SPOTTED.
Lonely Boy laughing the night away with a bee.
Who would've thought that he's not the only one in town?
I guess rain drops really fell on people who Multiply in three.
The secret is free, yet some things are still left undone.
Looks like go is really signaled in greens - in neon this time around.
Careful beetch, competition is tight and fierce.
