Last day of 2013 and my Nanay has ordered our “New Year fruits” as early as a few days ago. It was delivered last night.
I don’t believe in Feng Shui, really, because my mantra has always been work hard if you want a better life. But then again, there’s no harm in putting round fruits on the table as we welcome the New Year. After all, I remember Nanay doing it way before I heard about the term Feng Shui.
But what really are the lucky fruits that you should put on the table? Here’s a feature about it on last night’s edition of Bandila:
I haven’t been to Mt. Halcon yet (especially that I’ve stopped climbing for some months already), but I don’t think I’m going anywhere near that particular mountain sometime next year.
The mountain, and its Taong Lumot, was featured in Rated K last Sunday or its Halloween special. Watch:
The Philippines recently won the 2013 Pyronale Fireworks World Championships that was held in Berlin, Germany.
Fifteen minutes of exhibition, putting in different moods with different background music. I personally couldn’t help but smile so big when the Philippine tourism song was played.
We were represented by the Dragon Fireworks. The country got two awards - Audience Choice and the Gold Trophy as the 2013 Grand Champion.
Check out the video below and be proud to be Pinoy.
Roger Lucero, a funny tour guide of The Ruins in Talisay City, Negros Occidental has recently become famous on the internet courtesy of the videos that his guests posted on YouTube.
The videos are hilarious, his comic approach to narrating the history of the house is stand-up comedy-ish that meeting him would surely be one of the highlights of anyone's visit to the world famous attraction.
Roger was featured in ABS-CBN's Umagang Kay Ganda on Tuesday. The feature said he was encouraged to become a tour guide by the owners of The Ruins who he used to work for as a houseboy.
Here's one of his videos that is getting viral on YouTube:
A chow chow trapped on a second floor window ledge got rescued by the FDNY. It’s a big dog and the fireman seemed a little scared, but he successfully rescued the furry pet to the delight of onlookers.
I wonder, though, how the dog got there and where the heck was his owner.
Anyway, good thing there are friendly firefighters out where he lives. I wonder what our local rescue would tell us if we called for a dog trapped on the ledge.

The 6th season of True Blood premieres June 16.
And yes, waiting sucks indeed.
Found this video about Durex’s new “innovation” called Fundawear. It lets you touch someone else’s you-know-what over the internet.

Will you buy one?
Macky Lopez uploaded on Facebook a video of himself doing the Gwiyomi with a wig and fake boobs on. His reaction towards being caught by his father was so precious.
The kid is so hilarious I ended up joining his 7,244 followers.
The video was posted just 3 hours ago but already has 12,721 likes, 16,762 shares and 1,967 comments.
Here’s the vid:
I am not really a fan of the Gwiyomi/Kiyomi craze. But how I wish I could get my oldest nephew to do it. I’m sure he’d be on this list:
Saw this in the news last night. Amalayer girl Paula Salvosa talks about her LRT experience that made her famous (albeit negatively), and how it affected her life.
The new ABS-CBN 2013 Summer Station ID titled Kwento ng Summer Natin has just been released. The video celebrates Philippine television’s 60th year so the Kapamilya celebrities re-enacted the hit shows from before. I don’t know the rest of them but I recognized Palibhasa Lalake, Tonight with Dick and Carmi, Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata, etc.
Then Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla channeled Kristine Hermosa and Jericho Rosales in Pangako sa ‘Yo and look what’s in the background! It’s Mount Batulao! Although, of course it was just obviously only CGI, but still, it made the mountaineer in me excited.
And perhaps it’s just because I haven’t climbed for 3 months now.
Speaking of mountains, I don’t know if Nanay would allow me to go on solo hiking again after news about Victor Ayson broke out. He has been missing for 7 days now after going on a solo hike last Easter Sunday, March 31. Search and rescue teams have already “combed” Mt. Maculot but they found neither a clue nor a lead as to where he could be.
Anyway, here’s the full video of Kwento ng Summer Natin, the ABS-CBN 2013 Summer Station ID:

Check out the fireworks display of SM City Cebu for Sinulog Festival 2013. The background music, Gangnam Style, was a hit among the spectators especially that the fireworks were made to go along the beat of the worldwide hit song by the Korean performer Psy.
Would you give your jacket to a naked street kid during a cold, rainy day?
A young woman was caught on video doing exactly that. Such a pure heart. And I know the little girl wouldn’t forget her Good Samaritan. Ever.
The video was sent to GMA-7’s YouScoop. Watch it below.
Check out this animated video of the Philippine National Anthem from National Historical Commission of the Philippines and Rock Ed Philippines. This was especially made for the 2012 celebration of the Philippine Independence Day.
It is the tune acceptable to the NHCP and it is a march. Reminds me (and I hate it) that our country was in military rule for a long time.

True Blood’s Nelsan Ellis aka Lafayette Reynolds:
Anyway, season 5 of True Blood is gonna premiere on June 10th. Have you subscribed to HBO yet?
One of the things I’m obsessed about in True Blood, though, is the opening theme. Makes me wanna do “Bad Things.” Kidding!
Here are the trailers for season 5:
Tetris addiction to the max!
Seems like a group of students weren’t contented with just their computer screens to play Tetris that they recently hacked the Green Building of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to turn it into a giant Tetris screen.
The act can be considered genius, but I’m sure they have violated some rules in the process.
Watch the video below.
FUN’s television debut of We are Young on Conan O’Brien’s show. The song is included in their Some Nights album.
I love the high pitch. So young.
Princess is turning 5 tomorrow. I was planning to walk her at MoA but I’m not so sure anymore. I feel sick, triggered by the long ordinary bus ride last night from Pagbilao to Alabang.
Speaking of dogs, I found this News To Go feature on dog behaviors.
It’s a behavior problem pala when your dog/s jump around and bark when you get home.
