David Archuleta - Everything And More
You see a storm heading our way
You know the cold can make things delay,
Up here it can't do any harm.
The cracks show in the concrete jungle
Tear apart the weakest of hearts,
Up here you'll be safe in my arms.
Oh.
I know that you're feeling like we're only dreaming
Well don't look down 'cause this is real.
Like a satellite we're flying
Overhead where we see it all.
Nothing can touch us, we're everything and more.
There's no turning back from this point.
Reaching heights like never before.
Nothing can touch us, we're everything, we're everything and more.
Let's try holding each other,
Found a love to last forever.
Up here gives you wings to stay strong, ooh.
The air is pure that we're breathing.
We're something to believe in,
'Cause I feel it's where we both belong.
I know that you're feeling like we're only dreaming
Well don't look down 'cause this is real.
Like a satellite we're flying
Overhead where we see it all.
Nothing can touch us, we're everything and more.
There's no turning back from this point.
Reaching heights like never before.
Nothing can touch us, we're everything, we're everything and more.
Trust me this is worth not falling back to Earth.
Everything and more is up here.
Like a satellite we're flying
Overhead where we see it all.
Nothing can touch us, we're everything and more.
There's no turning back from this point.
Reaching heights like never before.
Nothing can touch us, we're everything and more.
Nothing can touch us, we're everything, we're everything and more.
We're everything and more, hey

The Big Bang Theory
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Bang_Theory
The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, both of whom serve as executive producers on the show, along with Steven Molaro. All three also serve as head writers. It premiered on CBS on September 24, 2007.
The show is centered on five characters: roommates Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper, two physicists who work at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech); Penny, a blonde waitress and aspiring actress who lives across the hall; and Leonard and Sheldon's equally geeky and socially awkward friends and co-workers aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali. The geekiness and intellect of the four guys is contrasted for comic effect with Penny's social skills and common sense. Three other supporting characters have also been promoted to starring roles: Leslie Winkle, a physicist colleague at Caltech and, at different times, a lover of both Leonard and Howard; Bernadette Rostenkowski, Howard's fiancée, who is a microbiologist and part-time waitress alongside Penny; and Amy Farrah Fowler, a neurobiologist who joins the group after being matched to Sheldon on a dating website.
The show is produced by Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre Productions. In August 2009, the sitcom won the best comedy series TCA award and Jim Parsons (Sheldon) won the award for individual achievement in comedy. In 2010, the show won the People's Choice Award for Favorite Comedy, while Parsons won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. On January 16, 2011, Parsons was awarded a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical, an award that was presented by co-star Kaley Cuoco (Penny). On September 18, 2011, Parsons was again awarded an Emmy for Best Actor in a Comedy Series.
When the third season premiered on September 21, 2009, Big Bang Theory ranked as CBS's highest-rated show of that evening in the adults 18–49 demographic (4.6/10), along with a then-series-high 12.83 million viewers. On May 19, 2010, it was announced that CBS would be moving the show to Thursdays at 8:00 ET for the 2010–2011 schedule. On January 12, 2011, CBS announced that the show had been renewed for an additional three years, extending it through the 2013–2014 season. The fifth season premiered on September 22, 2011, in its usual time slot with two back-to-back episodes.

Ang aking opinyon tungkol sa rally noong Marso 15, 2012
MANILA, Philippines -- (UPDATE 2 - 3:56 p.m.) Activist groups on Thursday staged a nationwide protest that included motorcades to demand government action to stem incessant increases of fuel prices, belying government warnings of a transport strike that had the military and other government agencies scrambling to ready transportation for stranded commuters.
But the warnings, which included threats by Malacanang to sanction transport groups, were apparently enough to prompt class suspensions in several parts of Metro Manila, including the cities of San Juan and Paranaque, where classes at all levels were suspended for the day.
...In Quezon City, protest actions were also held along the Elliptical Road and at the Batasan Road where Bayan joined the 1,450-strong Batasan Tricycle Operators and Drivers Association for a program and noise barrage.

about oil deregulation law: http://www.chanrobles.com/republicactno8479.htm
My opinion:
ayon sa aking narinig (sa balita at sa rally nila), malaki ang kinikita ng mga oil companies dahil sa 12% VAT(Value-Added Tax).
ang tanong: SAAN NAPUPUNTA ANG BILYON-BILYONG KITA NG MGA OIL COMPANIES?
NAPAPAKINABANGAN BA ITO NG MGA PILIPINO?
grabe naman sila. buti sana kung walang epekto ang pagtaas ng presyo ng langis sa mga pangunahing pangangailangan ng mga tao sa Pilipinas. tapos, may balak pang humirit ng dagdag pasahe.
kawawa naman kaming mga naghihirap. hindi na nga mabili ang pangangailangan eh madaragdagan pa ang intindihin.
HINDI BA DAPAT NAKO-KONTROL NG GOBYERNO ANG PRESYO NG LANGIS?
kung hindi nila nakokontrol, hindi man lang ba sila gagawa ng hakbang upang mapakiusapan ang tatlong higanteng oil companies na mag-roll back sa presyo ng langis?
sa twing magro-roll back kasi eh piso-piso lang. samantalang kapag may price hike eh sobrang laki ng dagdag...
...
dapat maging mapamaraan tayong mga Pilipino..
may mga alternatibong bagay na maaaring ipalit sa langis..
mas mabuti kung gumamit na lang tayo ng bike..
nakatipid ka na, nakatulong ka pa sa kapaligiran.

Corona 'willingness' to show dollar deposits moots TRO, Drilon says
source: http://www.interaksyon.com/article/26477/corona-willingness-to-show-dollar-deposits-moots-tro-drilon-says
MANILA, Philippines – After Chief Justice Renato Corona
reiterated his vow to open for scrutiny his dollar accounts, Senator
Franklin M. Drilon has called on the Supreme Court to lift the temporary
restraining order it earlier issued on the Senate’s subpoena on those
accounts.
In a series of media interviews last week—an apparent
roadshow to explain himself on the eve of resumption of trial at the
impeachment court on March 12---Corona said that he was willing to open
all his bank accounts, including his foreign currency deposits, when
senator-judges are convened again.
“The TRO preventing the opening of dollar accounts of the
Chief Justice has, in effect, become moot and academic since Corona said
he was willing to divulge his dollar accounts,” explained Drilon.
“Kung yung may-ari nga ng account ay handang ipakita
yung kanyang bank accounts, kasama ang dollar deposits, bakit pa
kailangang pigilan ito ng Supreme Court [It doesn’t make sense for
the SC to stop the revelation of the dollar deposits when the account
owner himself professes willingness to show them],” said Drilon.
The TRO was issued in a vote of 8-5 favoring the petition
of Philippine Savings Bank, through its president Pascual Garcia III,
who opted to testify at the impeachment court only on local currency
deposits of Corona and not on the dollar accounts.
With Corona’s supposed willingness, Drilon said opening
his dollar accounts will no longer violate Republic Act 6426, the law
that protects foreign currency deposits in the country, when the Senate,
sitting as an impeachment court, asks for it when session resumes.
“The bone of contention before was that the opening of his
dollar accounts would violate the provision of RA 6426, but now, with
the recent development, it appears to me that no provision would be
violated in case the Senate inquires on his dollar accounts,” said
Drilon.
Miriam wants law to regulate kids' access to soft drinks
source: http://www.interaksyon.com/article/26490/miriam-wants-law-to-regulate-kids-access-to-soft-drinks
MANILA, Philippines – Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago has filed a bill to regulate the sales, and distribution of soda-based products to mitigate against health risks posed to children and the general public.
"It is the responsibility of the State to protect our children from exposure to harmful substance. The sale of beverages that pose serious health risks can be curbed under the State's police power," Santiago says in her explanatory note on Senate Bill No. 3134. "Many academic studies have shown that there is nothing healthy about carbonated soft drinks or soda. Soft drinks contain sugar, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, phosphorus, and carbon acids which have harmful effects on the body."
Santiago, picking up a proposed bill brought to Congress by an 8-year-old Quezon City student, highlighted studies suggesting that soda consumption is associated with bone diseases. "Soft drink intake also increases the incidence of dental caries or tooth decay and obesity especialy among adolescents and young adults.4 Phosphorus, high fructose corn syrup, caffeine, and the carbon acids impair the body's capacity to absorb calcium," she said. "Soft drink consumption of children (is) linked to insufficient calcium in the body, impaired calcification of growing bones, and increased risk of bone fracture." The senator added that high levels of caffeine in soft drinks could "disrupt sleep and lead to, anxiety and DNA damage and hyperactivity especially among children."
The World Health Organization, the senator says, recognizes that consumption of soft drinks contributes to the growing incidence of obesity and increases the risk for heart disease worldwide.
Santiago said the filing of her bill is especially relevant given that Filipinos' per capital consumption of soda is higher than the global average. She also noted plans by Coca-cola, the biggest soft drink manufacturer in the world, to increase its investments in the Philippines with an additional P1 billion pesos; South Korean beverage company Lotte Chilsung is meanwhile acquiring a 34.4% stake in Philippine Pepsi bottler Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines (PCPP). These developments point to still rising demand for soft drinks in the Philippines, she said.
"Although this is great news in terms of investment, this is not good for public health especially the children," Santiago said. "A study involving children aged 6- to 12-years-old in La Trinidad, Benguet shows the prevalence of dental caries and high consumption of sugar. Soft drinks are one of the most common sources of dietary sugar (84%)."
Dr. Tim Gill, the Regional Coordinator of the Asia-Pacific International Obesity Taskforce of Australia warns that more Filipino children and adolescents are becoming overweight, and therefore more likely to develop health problems and their complications. The greater the weight excess - the higher a child's body mass index (BMI) = the greater the risk of acquiring so-called metabolic syndromes early in life, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and other cardiovascular diseases.
A national nutrition survey conducted by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) reveals a steady rise in obesity cases from 5.7 percent in 1989 to 8 percent in 1993 and then to 8.8 percent in 1998, Santiago said.
Santiago's bill, should it become law, would regulate the distribution of soft drinks in all schools in the Philippines, from pre-school to high school, whether public or private.
