Nowadays the Supreme Court has been made the center of attention in the headlines because of the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Coroina. But recently another member of the Supreme Court has made headlines, not connected to the impeachment trial but because the video became and instant hit and became viral in a matter of days and has been feasted upon by Netizens. Atty. Midas Marquez, spokesperson of the Supreme Court has a popular video circling around the internet. No, Midas is clearly not gay, he is married and has two kids. As to why his reaction in the video was somewhat "gay" well only he can explain that. Some say he is quite a funny a guy and constantly makes faces off cam, so most probably he was just making fun of the situation. Some people say that you will know somebody is gay the way they react to abrupt situations. I really don't buy that argument. I'd say somebody is clearly gay if they wear equestrian boots and dress like a woman or if they have … [Read more...]
Por Una Cabeza – The best Tango ever
Looking for movie re-runs to watch, I came across one of my favorite movies, TRUE LIES starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis. It is an action packed filled comedy movie that is both strong in terms of action and comedy. I love watching this film. When I watched the movie the second time, I was intrigued as to what music was used in the last scene and the one where Arnold was dancing a marimba, I mean a Tango with Tia Carrere. Doing some internet search, I found out that the song is entitled Por Una Cabeza which means "head of horse" in Spanish. It is one of the most famous and popular tango songs by Carlos Gardel (composer) and Alfredo Le Pera (lyricist), written in 1935. The song is quite popular and has been used in several movies including Planet 51, Schindler's List, Scent of a Woman, Delicatessen, All the King's Men, Bad Santa and several T.V series. I can't seem to get the tune out of my mind. I listened to it over and over again in youtube. Here's the … [Read more...]
Happy New year, Happy 2012 to all!
I’d like to greet all readers of this blog a Happy New year and officially welcome the year 2012. Looking back at 2011, it was such a challenging year, but we’ve all managed to survive it by God’s grace. On a personal note, business wise the Lord has been good. After the turmoil we’ve been through in 2010, I’ve always considered 2011 as an adjustment. But now that such is over, I see 2012 as a year of growth in all businesses that has been entrusted to me by the Lord. With regards to my online businesses, 2011 was a year of expansion so the dividends on the capital investments I’ve made online will probably be reaped in 2012 and in the next 2 to 3 years by God’s grace. I’m glad to have finally finished the final chapters in some cases I’ve been handling. Although the stock market seemed to be going nowhere in 2011, we’ve posted a small gain, and that is all right, but hopefully I look forward to a more exciting and brighter market in 2012. In terms of ministry, we’ve received a … [Read more...]

Paquiao vs. Marquez trilogy– Who is the winner ? – Part 2
Last time in the post Paquiao vs. Marquez trilogy– Who is the winner ? – Part 1 I gave the first three reasons why Manny Pacquiao is the clearly the winner in all fights with Juan Manuel Marquez. Let me continue by giving you reason, facts and evidences numbers 4 to 7. 4.) The challenger must prove he is worthy of the challenge Since Pacquiao is the reigning champion, Marquez being the challenger must be the aggressor and must exceed Pacquiao’s statistics to even claim that the fight was a close fight. Sadly this is not what happened and yet he keeps on claiming that he is the winner. 5.) Marquez went down In two of their fights, Marquez went down two times and he never managed to do it to Manny Pacquiao. In their last fight, Marquez also went down once but that was ruled by judges to be a slip. Nevertheless the fact that Marquez went down clearly shows that Pacquiao’s aggression, speed and punching power overwhelmed Marquez. If Marquez went down 3 times on their last fight … [Read more...]
