Goldilocks Made the Girls Go Gaga

Because they have invited Dingdong Dantes (and Juddha Paolo?!) to present the winners of the Nuffnang Blog Contest Awarding by Goldilocks. The event was full of people, thank God it didn't rain, so I was there, too. Ofcourse to support my fellow (ooppss. ex- fellow nuffies, well not officially a nuffie). I brought with me Janelle.

It's fun too see the nuffies' work paid off! Congrats! Goldilocks and Nuffnang for a successful event, I hope to see more of Goldilocks online!

And here's what the other bloggers missed:

They were all over Dingdong and they didn't even notice James Yap was there, dancing to the tune of Nobody.

Cory on PhP500.00 Peso Bill

Hmm. Perhaps if she'll be named a heroine, another version of PhP500.00 bill?

UST Honors President Cory Aquino

The Order of Preachers--- Dominican Brothers, serviced a mass for Tita Cory, August 04, 2009, and invited all the Thomasians to take part in celebration of our Pres. Cory's legacy and pray for her soul.

UST announcement:

To honor the former President Corazon C. Aquino, THOMASIANS are requested to
wear YELLOW t-shirts and to attend the MASS at the Manila Cathedral today,
August 4, 2009 at 7:00 P.M. INSTEAD OF 8:00 P.M. with the Dominican
brethren led by UST Rector, Rev. Fr. Rolando V. de la Rosa, O.P. as
concelebrant. The UST Symphony Orchestra will provide the musical part of the
liturgy.

Me and Janelle went to UST (nostalgia---wt*) to meet up with the group going to Manila Cathedral, but unfortunately, we were late.

So we decided to just go there straight.

Guards were strict, luckily I have with me my UST Alumni ID, and Fr. Rector Dela Rosa came to our rescue (we have formed a UST group outside the cathedral). We entered the gates for VIPs and relatives (4 Thomasians were left, including me after the guards allowed only 10 people from UST, but then Ting Ting Cojuangco made a consideration (I guess) and let us thru--- she shocked me--- she talked to me and asked me if I were from the UST group, and then she pointed me to our place. *Very sweet lady, as I imagined her to be.)

Then, mass started, the sermon that Cardinal Vidal gave, was an okay sermon, but it was the second one that had a very good point--- He pointed that Cory was an amateur, an amateur president that knows nothing--- nothing about corruption, etc. Amateur only works for passion and love, unlike the inteligentes.

The mass ended with this---.

I wonder if Tita Cory, would have a chance on sainthood? Being a devout Catholic, and using prayer as a tool to preserve democracy, and almost for any problem she and the country faces. She promoted devotion to Mary and praying the Rosary.

July Preview: Maricel Soriano

I know this is so late.

But let me just say this, I want more issues like this.

We see Maricel rock a drama scene, but--- cover of a fashion magazine? I wasn't expecting that she would do this. Okay, I see her wearing sophistic clothes, in interviews. She looks simple, yet very mayaman.
I think this is the best issue, after recession struck the magazine industry. Preview's cover this July really crapped Mega's.

Tita Cory, Goodbye.

She was the first president I know of. (I was born 1986, she was president until 1992.)

I remember that, brownouts are frequent that time--- and I always hate and blame that to--- Pres. Cory, because we have a lady president. (I never thought of Meralco, I thought it was some magic that we have electricity and it works like Poseidon, hates girls on boat--- sailing.)

Not all of us would agree, that she was a good president during her term. And she didn't, well likely, have all the right decisions, everytime.

One, was because--- she was a Cojuangco (everybody knows that Hacienda Luisita incident, right?). And later, she was one of the personalities that helped oust F.Pres. Estrada, and then now calls for Pres. Arroyo's resignation. But I think this was just minor things we should be thinking--- let's look at the bigger picture--- she is a symbol of democracy. She is the face of People Power.

One more thing that made me proud of her, was when she visited their ancestral hall in China. She values her roots--- I am sure she made the Chinoys proud. (Click here for her China visit)

She was a proud Filipino.
