Ako Mismo!

Tagalog.
Nakita ko tong commercial na to noong laban ni Pacquiao at Hatton.
Maganda yung commercial simple lang pero nakakapanghikayat talaga sa manunuod na gumawa ng hakbang para matulungan ang problema ng bayan sa sariling gawain lang, maliit man ito o malaki. Maganda itong umpisa lalo na sa kabataan na maimulat ang kanilang mga mata sa mga kasalukuyang pangyayari sa bansa. Nagregister na ko, magregister na rin po kayo sa http://www.akomismo.org/ at manumpa na para sa ikauunlad ng bayan :) Marami na akong mga pledges na nabasa at talagang nabuksan nila ang isip ko na, bilang isang Pilipino, marami tayong kayang gawin kahit sa loob lang nang bahay. :)
San po pwede makabili nung akomismo dogtag?

I saw this commercial during the commercial break of the Pacquiao and Hatton match.
The commercial is really nice, it's very simple yet it really invites the audience to participate and to act now against the problems that are happening in the country. You can make a pledge, small or big as long as you know that it can help the country. This is a really good start, especially for the youth, to become aware of the situation of our country. I already registered, you should also register now in http://www.akomismo.org/ and pledge something for the betterment of the country :). I've read tons of pledges and they really opened my mind that as a Filipino, I can do a lot of things even at home. :)
Where can i buy the dogtag?

AKO MISMO!

AKO mismo is about YOU…

… making a stand and taking real action for the causes you believe in. Causes that you yourself can truly pursue to make a real, positive difference to your fellow countryman, to your country.

It is for you who still dare to hope that life for millions doesn’t have to be a hopeless battle against problems like poverty, illiteracy, unemployment.

It is for you who believe that not enough is being done about our country’s problems. And that to do right things, you’ll do them yourself.

It is a movement where you can show your patriotism and compassion, and make these traits infectious.

It’s about action that eradicates hopelessness in every Filipino.

How hard will this be to accomplish? Well that will be entirely up to you.
In AKO MISMO you get to choose the cause you wish to pursue. No cause is too small as long as it is a noble one. All we ask is that you make a pledge to do it.

You yourself can pledge anything: from teaching English to your yaya’s kid, to making sure that your barangay is dengue-free.

Or make a pledge to do your part in ending corruption, prostitution, illegal drugs or the inhumane treatment of animals. The choice is yours.

No matter how small, as long as you pledge that you yourself will take action, it’s sure to make a big difference.

Giving more hope for Filipinos to stop merely surviving, and start living. And it starts with you.

MISMO yan.

The Pepsi Footvolley Commercial

The Pepsi Footvolley Ad campaign. Messi, Torres, Kaka, Fabregas, Lampard and Henry

Love it :)
I was randomly watching football vids in youtube when i saw this commercial. I find it really cute haha. It's like the best footballers in one freakin' ad. aweeesssoome. haha. It's just so sad to not see Kaka play as much as the other players because ESPN does not broadcast Serie A games in the Philippines. :((

You can also visit http://www.pepsifootball.com/game/ to play games :D

There should always be a PACQUIAO game.

Pacman's game against Hatton was the first ever boxing match I watched on TV. It was woah pero bitin :)) Boxing's awesome pala, haha. Galing ehh, round 2 pa lang bagsak na kaagad si hatton.

What I really love about the game was that it really brought the filipino community together. Before I thought that they were just exxagerating about the whole 'no crime' and 'the whole world is watching' thing...Now i know (you know?! haha) that they weren't lying. Whenever there's a pacquiao game, there really is no crime in the country. I was watching football last night and then during the break there was sort of like a breaking news about the pacquiao-hatton match. The reporter said something like Pacman really is a national hero. Honestly, i never really considered him as a hero but after everything that happened yesterday and all those articles i read in the newspaper and stuff i heard on the radio...I think i'm starting to understand the reason behind the whole 'hero' thing. Hero prolly in a way that his match was able to unite the filipinos all around the world, there was no crime reported (he's now called the crime buster), and it brought peace even for just a day. He showed that the Philippines still has something to show and that we don't just give up easily. :)

*Liverpool won against newcastle 3-0. Wasn't really a good game, i didn't feel newcastle. Torres didn't play coz of his injury and Gerrard's back in the game! yehey! The title race is still alive :P*
*Can't wait for Champions League Roma Finale '09!!!!!!!!!! :)

It all boils down to greed and domination

I'm doing my cousins' reaction paper and she gave me four topics. First is the CARP program, second is Population Growth, third is Food shortage: acts of nature or human mistakes, and last is Third world Development. I am so annoyed with the broad topics, there's like gazillion branches under population growth....so yeah i was kinda having hard time. So I've done two out of the four and it's just very disappointing how they all boil down to corruption. :|

Liverpool Footballers party! haha

This is like the funnest thing ever!!! Babel, Stevie G, Jamie Carragher and Torres. :) FUUUUNNN!
I just randomly saw this video in youtube (not mine :P) see...boredom is good at times haha! to the person who made this video...you are aweeesooommmeee !!! :P haha.

All at once

ay, i forgot to write a passport. Oh my :|

Scared is good because it means you have something to lose.

Very very sad news. Liverpool lost with an aggregate of 7-5. It was an awesome game though. I mean, I don't really care THAT much anymore because i had fun watching the game and it was uber fantastic! Liverpool dominated during the first half and Chelsea on the second half. oh yeah second leg result 4-4. Liverpool lost coz Chelsea scored 3 during the first leg. I want a replay!!!
Both captains didn't play. Terry due to the yellow card he got during the first leg and Gerrard because of his injury (he was so cute just sitting there and watching the game haha). Carragher and Lampard (i'm starting to really like him even if he's in chelsea and even if he scored last minute which made them win the game) were captains during the 2nd leg.

Highlights of the game: first half - Aurelio scores (0-1) coz of the free kick, Ivanovic cautioned by ref. with a yellow card (his expression pa was so funny when he said "me?!"), Alonso goals (0-2) from the penalty shot, Benayoun's fouls and yellow card, Anelka in Kalou out. Liverpool had a higher % of ball possession. Second half - (I thought Liv was gonna win na but...) Drogba scores unexpectedly followed by Alex's free kick (2-2), Carvalho was booked/yellow card, A. Cole cautioned by ref., Reira in Mascherano out, Arbeloa shown a yellow card, a goal by Lampard (3-2), N'Gog in Torres out, a fantastic goal by lucas immediately followed by Kuyt (3-4), Babel in Arbeloa out, Lampard scored last minute - draw (4-4), Ref. added 3 minutes to the game which was kinda, wasted because Skrtel fouled and the sub by chelsea - di santo in drogba out - took so much time and there was..uhh 3o seconds left.

When lampard scored i thought it was over for liverpool but then lucas and kuyt scored which taught me a lesson. You don't really just give up hope, you can't just drop it and walk out of the game, if there's time there's still that little bit of a chance that you can win and if you don't it's okay because you know that you gave your best :)
Liverpool had 29 fouls in total and 14 for chelsea. wow :))
I voted for Xabi Alonso as man of the match but i think it's gonna be lampard haha. :)

I was jumping while watching the game. intense kay?!
MOST AWESOME, FREAKINGLY SUPERB GAME IVE EVER WATCHED IN CL!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know what happened between bayern and barcelona but i know that Bercelona won with an aggregate of 5-1.

I'm rooting for Manchester united in the semi finals so they can beat chelsea (well, im not sure yet if they're gonna win against Porto but yeah, if ever). But not in the premier league since liverpool is still there!!!
