OPM MONDAY ~ PAROKYA NI EDGAR

It's monday! And this is my first time to have this very own portion for this blog. Unlike the usual "Music Monday" where bloggers are free to choose their music, my very own "OPM Monday" (as what the name suggest) will give focus to all Original Pinoy Music. Every Monday, i will feature one Filipino Music Artist.
And for this Monday, December 28 ( just a day after my birthday^^) , I will feature one of my favorite pinoy band ~
PAROKYA NI EDGAR

Parokya ni Edgar is a Filipino band that was formed in 1993 by a group of Ateneo de Manila High School students. The band is famous and most lauded for its original rock novelty songs and often satirical covers of famous songs. The band has since transcended musical genres, varying styles from one song to another - alternative rock to pop rock, funk to rapcore, and so on - while providing comic relief to their listeners.
Naming themselves Comic Relief, the band originally consisted of three vocalists - Alfonso "Chito" Miranda, Jr., Jeric Estaco, Francis Vincent "Vinci" Montaner, and two guitarists, Miko Yap and Gabriel Ignatius "Gab" Chee Kee.
Since their inception, Parokya ni Edgar has enjoyed unmatched staying power in the recording scene of the Philippines. Chito Miranda has served as the band's frontman, filtering the band's output to the taste of its audience.

Here are some of their greatest hits

Web Market

Nowadays, the competition in the web market is getting tougher and tougher everyday. The competition mostlytakes place on how popular the site is. The more popular the site, the more chances to attract customer to buy their products. If you are one of those entreprenuers who's planning to build an online business and promote their product in the global web market, then you must have to exert extra effort in order for your product/services to be recognized. One of the best way is to submit your product at Free Press Release. It's a useful site that offers free press release distribution service.

The Law of Similarity

What is the best way to make your relationship last longer? Nowadays, most relationship ends up in divorse or separation. But why are they reaching that point that both of them will decide to separate? I just found it out after reading Arina's Self Help Blog and her article about 10 Most Important Relationship Laws. One of the lwas that she tackled is the Law of Similarity which states that We attract people who are similar to us, because we resonate with them. Meaning to say, in every relationship, both of you and your partner should focus on your similarities rather than your differences. In this way, your relationship will establish a strong foundation and will make it last longer!

Apartamentos!

One of my dream is to visit the wonderful country of Panama. Panama is in the sounthernmost part of the central America along with outher wonderful countries like Guatemala, Costa Rica and El Salvador. the reasons why i love to be there is because i have relatives in this country and it would be exciting to meet them personally. I talked to them about this and they are more than willing to see me however they told me that their space is not enough to accomodate me and the only option i have is to rent a space in a hotel or somewhere else. Luckily, as i was searching over the Net, i found out that in Panama there's what they called "Rentas Cortas de Apartamentos en Panama" This is where you can rent an apartment for a dhort period of time while you were on your trip. This is very ideal for travelers who want to visit Panama. If you are interested, just visit http://www.rentascortaspanama.com/ and see more details about their apartments.

Wonders of Panama

Do you have any plans for your family this upcoming Holiday Season? Why don't you treat them for an out of country journey. That would be exciting knowing that all of you will gonna have a trip together. But if ever that "out of the country" plan will work, which country are going to visit? For me, one of the best place is Panama. There are many attractive places and landmarks in this country and all of you will surely enjoy. And ofcourse don't forget to book a space for hotels. Hotels are good, however, they are very expensive. Good thing, i have heard that there are Private Apartments in Panama or in Spanish they called it "Apartamentos vacacionales en Panama"that is open for rental services and offer great packages so you do not have to worry about anything. So what are you waiting for? Pack up all your things and bring your family and visit the wonderful country of Panama.

The Maguindanao massacre, also known as the Ampatuan massacre (after the town where the mass graves were found), occurred on the morning of November 23, 2009, in the town of Ampatuan in Maguindanao province, on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. The victims were about to file a certificate of candidacy for Esmael Mangudadatu, vice mayor of Buluan town. Mangudadatu was challenging Datu Unsay mayor Andal Ampatuan, Jr., son of the incumbent Maguindanao governor Datu Andal Ampatuan Sr., in the forthcoming Maguindanao gubernatorial election, part of the national elections in 2010. Those killed included Mangudadatu's wife, his two sisters, lawyers, aides, and motorists who were witnesses or were mistakenly identified as part of the convoy. Even before the Maguindanao massacre, the CPJ had labeled the Philippines the second most dangerous country for journalists, second only to Iraq. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has called the Maguindanao massacre the single deadliest event for journalists in history. Thirty-four journalists are known to have been abducted and killed in the massacre, according to the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Essay Writing

It was such a shame for a college student like me is having a hard time constructing a simple essay. According to my teacher, way back in high School, an essay follows a certain format. If there’s one thing that I’m regretting about in High School, I guess that would be those times when I’m not listening to my teachers. Honestly, I failed most of my English subjects because I’m having a hard time constructing my sentences and to deliver them properly. A friend advised me to visit www.professays.com and see how the site could help me. The site offer custom essays, research papers and term papers which are exactly what I need for my school. They even have some sample essays that you can download and serve as your guide in making your own personal essays.

Political Advertisements!

Here i gathered all the Campaign Advertisements of all the Presidential Candidates of the upcoming 2010 election. It's time for us to decide, which is the best campaign ad. Let's just have some fun with these videos. Who do you think will fall for the following category:
Best Screenplay
Best Music Background

Most Funniest
Best Script
Best Motto

Best Actor/Actress


Let's start with Noynoy Aquino III's campaign ad entitled "Hindi ka nagiisa"



Almost everyone love this video knowing that most high-profile celebrities from 2 giant tv stations are present in this political campaign in support for Noynoy candidacy. The message of the song is very inspiring too!
Criticism:
Most of the critics said that this is too showbiz for Noynoy and his using his parents to make people sympathized with him in order to attract voters for the upcoming election!
It's quite funny because Noynoy didnt say any single word until the end of his video.

Next is Joseph Estrada, Sorry but i don't have a copy of his political ad but the advertisement is all about a compilation of all the things happen to him after his resignation.
but Erap gave as a hint with his Athro Commercial.


Now this is funny and it seems that Erap is having a difficulty in breathing!(lolz)

Next is Gilberto Teodoro in his Campaign ad entitled "Galing at Talino" showing some video clip of his service as the Secretary of Defense


The Script and the message was delivered properly aiming to educate viewer that a good leader is a leader that uses his brain and ability to raise our country from poverty and economical crisis.

Among all the Presidential candidates, Manny Villar have the most number of commercials. Here's one of them


Manny's theme "Sipag at Tiyaga" shows how hard working he was and the commercial is intended to inform its viewers that "Ang taong laki sa hirap tumutulong sa mga mahihirap"

In the other side, Bayani Fernando shows how string his personality is in his commercial entitled "Kailangan Bayani".


According to him, the right leader is the one who have political will!

Along with all the presidential candidates are Bro. Eddie Villanueva, Jamby Maddrigal, and Nick Perlas

Personal Essays


When I was in college, one of the most difficult parts is when our professors and instructors require us to make our research paper based on a certain topic provided by them. Gathering your materials that you will be using in your term paper would be tough but constructing your sentences and your personal essays correctly in order to deliver your research paper properly the way it should be would be the toughest one. I just found http://www.professays.com/ over the Internet and how I wish I discovered this site before when I was in college! The site offers a bunch of interesting research paper topics that would help you a lot in most of your school academic works and projects!
