A photography competition entitled “Everyday Islam” has been launched to depict Muslim life in the Philippines, following the example set by UK-based and internationally renowned photographer and Muslim convert Peter Sanders.

The competition aims to popularise shared aspirations and concerns of Muslims and non- Muslims, in order to promote integration and counter messages that tend to emphasise discord and differences.

When everybody starts raving about a certain movie before I get the chance to see it, I strangely lose interest in seeing it in the theaters. Weird, but it’s the truth. Is it because I like watching movies at home more than I do in the theaters? Maybe. Is it because I hate sharing the same room with idiots who can’t stop talking about how excited they are about the movie because the Internet says it’s cool? Possibly. I don’t know. One thing’s for certain, though: everybody’s done with their “THIS. IS. SPARTAAA!!!” phase, but I’m just starting with mine. HA-OOH! HA-OOH!

This is not a Sunday Reflection. But it is still a reflection inspired by the Word of God for today. It is taken from the first reading which relates how Yahweh allowed his people to go through the Sea of Reeds safe and sound while later drowning the pursuing Egyptians. Read here.

Depletion of human resources was once referred to as “brain drain.” In the Philippines, it is now described as “brain haemorrhage” or “brain waste” to underscore the huge exodus of highly skilled and experienced Filipino workers and professionals.

How the treasury of the 1898 republic vanished - continuation:

“Sevilla continues to describe how the money was hidden :

Sinimulan nila ang pagtatago ng salapi; at sapagka’t sila ay aapat na, at gahol sa panahon ay di na nila nagawang ibaon ang napakaraming kayamanang na sa kanilang pangangalaga. Ibinubuhos nila na parang gasang sa kailaliman ng bangin, sa pagasang ang tiyan ng lupa ay siyang matapat na katiwalang magtatago ng salapi ng himagsikan. At ang kalansingan ng salaping nagpalopalo sa batong nagungos ang siyang bumagabag sa katahimikan ng gabi; ng gabing napakalagim na parang piping saksi na nagmamasid sa bawa’t kanilang kilos. Nang sila ay matapos ay maguumaga na. Ang mga salaping papel, ang mga kasulatan na tinatatalaan ng malaking bahagi ng kasaysayan ng himagsikan, ang mga kahong pinagsidlan ng pilak at ang lahat ng kariton ay pinaglapitlapit nila at saka sinusuhan. Ang lagablab ng apoy ay napaitaas at ilang sandali pa ay abo ng lahat ang kanina ay salaping-papel at kasulatan. Subali’t ang silab na inaakala nila na siyang maglilihim ng kanilang ginawa, ay siyang nagsiwalat sa kaaway ng kinaroroonan nila. Natanawan ng mga amerikano ang lagablab ng apoy at sinapantahang doon ay may tao. At nagutos na sila ay paroroonan. Ang magkakasama, matapos ganapin ang huling kailangang iniuutos ng kanilang tungkulin ay nagkanikaniya na ng lakad. (Sevilla, 163-164)

TV and print do not do justice to Piolo Pascual’s beauty. He looks even more handsome without the aid of lighting, styling or makeup. In a plain setting (though there was nothing plain about the Hyatt Casino Hotel’s presidential suite, where we did the interview and pictorial), with early-afternoon natural light bathing his features, it was easy to see why Mr. Pascual’s soft, elusive beauty has inspired the most frenzied forms of attention and speculation in this gossipy town.

I was in the room with him because I got asked to do a cover feature on Mr. Pascual for the September 2007 issue of Metro Him magazine…

Multi-Currency support in e-Commerce websites is very important for those looking to target international sales, and many customers during their shopping used to check external currency converters to know the price displayed in their own currency (I personally use Google).

I find the solution very interesting especially that it provide supports to all shopping carts and have a very easy integration via a simple JavaScript that you’ll include in your website.
