NASA finds lots of water on moon
Found this when I saw my google homepage had a very weird design.
Google's moon-water design
From The AP.
Experts have long suspected there was water on the moon. Confirmation came from data churned up by two NASA spacecraft that intentionally slammed into a lunar crater last month.
“Indeed, yes, we found water. And we didn’t find just a little bit. We found a significant amount,” said Anthony Colaprete, lead scientist for the mission, holding up a white water bucket for emphasis.
The lunar crash kicked up at least 25 gallons and that’s only what scientists could see from the plumes of the impact, Colaprete said.

Taylor Swift’s Monologue on SNL: She Pwns the Men of Her Life!
OMG! I am soooooo late on this! Gah! I missed the episode, but thanks to your friendly webborhood Youtube, I was able to see her monologue which made her name echo throughout the blogosphere, screaming girl power!
Watch this:
Now tell me that wasn’t hilarious! I mean, come on! the last thing you’d expect Swift to do is to be a comedian right? Well, looks like she has a fall back if she decides to retire from singing, which may never happen, ever.
Other videos include SNL’s segments, one specially spoofing the twilight saga, substituting Edward Cullen with Frankenstein. Yup, Frankenstein. It’s called “Firelight” since Frankenstein’s main phobia is fire. Oh, at 0:49, Taylor Swift looks sexy!
Watch this:
I just LOVE how Taylor does Bella’s “Run my hand through my hair to my ear” mannerism! haha
I hope SNL have more guests that does the unexpected!
Happy 5th Birthday Firefox!
I’ve been using Firefox since 2006 and I have to say, it’s well equipped to be compatible to about 90% of websites I visit.
Here’s an article regarding Firefox’s birthday courtesy of Mashable.
Originally an experimental branch of the Mozilla project, a new web browser was launched on November 9, 2004: Firefox 1.0. Its aim was to reduce Mozilla’s bloat (if you remember those early days, the Mozilla Suite consisted of a web browser, mail client, news reader, irc client; it even had a web page creator called Mozilla Composer), and it was an instant hit among users and developers alike.
Five years later, and Firefox holds a quarter of the browser market, and while technically not being the most popular (Microsoft’s Internet Explorer still clings to that honor), it’s definitely the most prominent browser, with thousands of plugins (add-ons, they’re called), a busy developer community, and over 330 million users.
Video: Ellen pranks Taylor Swift for Halloween
Got this info straight from Taylor Swift’s tweet.
Now I’m not exactly a fan of Ellen Degeneres nor her show, but I’m starting to think of watching her show now, simply because Taylor Swift endorsed it haha.
Here’s the video:
It must’ve hurt when she fell on her knees LOL Lets hope it didn’t bruise 
Katy Perry’s birthday bash pictures!
In relation to my previous blog, Katy Perry shows us some pictures of what took place on the eve of her 25th birthday bash via The Cobrasnake. Found this on her twitter account.
Inside news on Katy Perry’s birthday party
Katy Perry turned 25 years old in style, throwing a “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory“-themed birthday party at Sunset Beach Restaurant in Hollywood on Saturday night, October 24. Her actor boyfriend Russell Brand, and country singers Taylor Swift and Julianne Hough, were among the A-list celebs in attendance. Besides, there were also the likes of JoJo and Perez Hilton.
Guests were required to wear white to the party and they left with neon paint spattered all over them. “They got a little crazy with the paint!” a partygoer told Radar Online. “I wasn’t expecting it but everyone got painted – even Taylor Swift!”
In keeping with the chosen theme, candy and Oompah Loompahs were everywhere and bright colored lights flashed at the entrance. The birthday girl, additionally, donned Oompa-Loompa painted nails. “It was very surreal and very well done. A really great party!” another guest gushed.
On Sunday, October 25, Katy took it to her Twitter to share her feeling about her birthday bash, writing “THAT was MAGIC! I’m SO happy!!!! I am just giggling at random … I think this is how it will be for a while…”
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the video nor the pictures posted in this blog article.
Here’s a fan video at the site of the party
Here are a few pics to let you see some of the highlights. Perez Hilton, Matt Dallas, Jojo, and Taylor Swift were among the many celebrities and close friends at the party.
Check the following links to see the full galleries. It seemed to be a very fun night!
Again, Happy 25th Birthday Katy Perry, from one of your millions of fans across the globe.
Anima9 wishes Katy Perry a Happy Birthday!
Support Ella! DSWD is keeping relief goods for themselves! Greedy bastards!
I got news in plurk about the blogsite above. It was about THIS ARTICLE right here.
Let me quote a few:
Dear friends,
I’m asking your help to spread the word. Tulungan po ninyo akong ikalat ito. Beyond this, we should also demand action. I disabled a plugin so you can copy the photos of relief goods rotting in DSWD warehouses. You can link this post to your blogs, facebook, websites etc. You can also email the photos.
Philippine News (US based Philippine newspaper) will use this as its front page story this week. Every Filipino has the right to know where the tons of donations from the UN and other counties go. Kahit po nakakahiya sa mga nag-donate. Kung sa ganitong paraan, matutulungan natin ang mga nasalanta, then by all means, let’s do it.
For those who have the time, please try to volunteer sa DSWD warehouses. Getting in was not easy. A friend had to put in a word for us. Let’s see kung madali nang makapasok sa DSWD warehouse ang mga volunteers.
Please read on and good luck to us.
Ella
It tells about the DSWD scam in which thousands upon thousands of relief goods are just waiting to be shipped to people who need help because of both typhoon ondoy and pepeng that recently struck the Philippines. Ella tells about how the goods are as good as rotten if it won’t reach those who actually need them. Ella also claims that there were NO VOLUNTEERS when she got there. Either that or there were really few of them around.
What “volunteers”? Nasaan?
Aside from the 8 of us? Nope, there was nobody there. Bakit kailangan ang scheduling? Feeling hindi ba magkamayaw at nagu-unahan ang mga volunteers?
I know somebody who wanted to volunteer many times. She was always bumped off, laging nirere-schedule kasi “there were too many volunteers” daw. At tuwing Sunday lang daw puwede. What the hell is going on here?
After reading the whole article, in which I found very entertaining and informative, I just had to ask myself “WTF?!” and I totally support her now. It was pretty evident on how inefficient the DSWD was (is). I just hope Ms. Ella here don’t get unwanted attention (or trouble) because of her actions, rather, words about this incident.
A few more quotables:
Nakatambak ang donations ng UNICEF sa warehouse, local and international
Mga banig na dapat ay nahihigaan ng mga nasalanta. Mga imported camp beds na hindi na yata masisilayan ng mga biktima. Mga kumot na hindi naman nakabalot sa katawan nila. At mga pagkaing hindi sumasayad sa sikmura nila.
The relief goods are not going anywhere
We arrived at about 8 am and left by midafternoon and yes, you guessed it right. Kami pa rin ang tao bukod sa isang DSWD employee sa loob ng warehouse maghapon. Walang ibang dumating.
The relief goods are not moving. By the way things look, they are not going anywhere. Hindi maglalakad mag-isa ang mga donations na ito papunta sa mga evacuation centers.
Now ask yourself: who is more credible at this point? The DSWD or a Filipina blogger?
SUPPORT HER NOW! 
Movie Review: (500) Days of Summer
FIRST OFF: WALLPAPER SPAM!

WIKI INFORMATION ABOUT THE MOVIE
Movie synopses:
Boy meets girl
Boy falls in love
Girl doesn’tThis is not a love story…This is a story about love.
When Tom, a hapless greeting card copywriter and hopeless romantic, is blindsided after his girlfriend summer dumps him, he shifts back and forth through various periods of their 500 days “together” to try to figure out where things went wrong. His reflections ultimately lead him to finally rediscover his true passions in life.
PRE-REVIEW:
I was aching to watch this because of the trailers I saw on youtube and the great reviews it received in various websites and through word of mouth. And I have a tendency to want to watch romantic comedies this past year. I watched this at TriNoMa, shortly after classes and after work was done, which was around 10 am in my case. After googling the much needed screening time and schedule of the movie, I went straight to the theater. The first showing of the movie was at 12:00 PM. I arrived at TriNoMa at around 11:00 AM. So to speak, I had just enough time to eat lunch (KFC Go-Go meal + large mashed potatoes) and buy a few movie snacks (Party sized Oishii resealable choco sponge + 1 liter C2 green tea Classic). I finished my tasks at around 11:40 AM. I went to the theater floor, went inside the theater and just adjusted to the ambiance of the whole room. I was the first person to enter, then minutes after, the theater was already half-full (or half-empty). I sat at my favorite spot of all: Highest seat, close to middle. I sat near two women, best friends I assumed, who were very open to expressing one’s thoughts and opinions about the movie at hand, i.e. they were pretty talkative. But it was tolerable, save for some sexy scenes, adult remarks, and the occasional funny moments.
SPOILERS HERE HENCEFORTH
CAST:
Wonderful cast of characters. Most were relatively new to me. Tom, the main male character, was played by actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt while the very gorgeous and very cute Summer was played by Zooey Deschanel, who I currently have as a new crush. I specially love the character of Tom’s sister Rachel. She was meant as a parody to the stereotype that kids don’t know what life is. She’s the most mature character in the movie. She gives advices, life speeches, realizations, and the occasional quip to make the character flourish.
Joseph reminded me of the late Heath Ledger while I watched the film. “It has to be the eyes” I told myself. Also, because of the fact that the two actors once worked together in a hard to forget film called “10 Things I Hate About You“. The only bad thing about him getting the main role is that I really can’t forget the fact that he once played as an adolescent on 3rd Rock from the Sun. I just can’t help but remember how his teenage years were even though he’s quite old in the movie. It’s just me I guess. Had I chose someone else, it would’ve been someone who is rarely known for playing teen roles.
The supporting characters were well played as well, although I barely recognize some of them.
8/10
STORY/PLOT:
The movie was all about a guy who thinks he fell in love with the woman of his life, how he fell out her life, how he tries to get over her and fail multiple times, and how he finally acknowledged the fact that she may be the one for him, but he may not be the one for her. The movie shows his happiness, his grief, his “getting over” period, and “moving on” period with a series of comedic takes and humor implied scenes.
I fell in love with the way the movie was written and directed. It was very new yet very familiar at the same time. I specially love the fact that it was about a guy who got dumped by the girl of his dreams and his exploits on how he wanted her back and, soon after realizing it was really over, how he tries to get his (real) life back on track. I can personally relate to this film. I almost got teary eyed when right before the film ends, where Tom has finally moved on and Summer was married to someone, they found each other reminiscing their past atop a hill overlooking the city. They sat together and…just watch it! I can’t spoil this scene even if I wanted to. It was too sad yet fulfilling to watch. I found it pretty hard to endure, which indicates how I’ve fallen in love with the characters over a short period of time.
So far as plot is concerned: 9/10. -1 because the plot wasn’t really new at all. Should’ve been an 8/10, but the way it was presented to the audience was very satisfactory.
MUSIC:
This film featured a 5 minute dance scene, depicting Tom’s happiness of finally having someone he’s sure to be the one. Oh yeah, it was also the morning after he got her lying naked in his bed. I’d be pretty happy myself if I woke up one morning to realize that I just had the best sex with the best girl possible.
I barely know the songs featured, but I found it cool enough for the movie and mood the movie was in. I can’t rate this one properly, but I’ll give it an 8/10. Just because I think the music really soothed the film.
Script/Dialogue:
One of the memorable parts of the film. It was well written and well said. Each sentenced had humor implied. Although some require a little bit of imagination and/or idea of what the humor was based on, i.e. a picture made fun of but you have no idea why it was being made fun of. Sometimes you also have to keep a keen eye on the surroundings while they do the humor parts. You’d be missing a lot if you didn’t. It’s like getting only half the joke.
8/10 for this one.
Runtime:
The movie ran for about 95 minutes. It was too short for me. There were a few instances wherein the film could’ve used more time in explaining a certain scene or two. You actually HAD to be keeping watchful eyes and script sensitive ears to actually understand the reasons why some scenes were shown and how the scene was related to the previous scene.
7/10. It was supposed to be a 6 or 5, but seeing that I did understand the whole movie’s way of showing the scenes, I scored it higher. If it were up to me, I’d make the film run for about 105 minutes, just 15 minutes shy of 2 hours.
Re-watchability:
I would’ve watched the film again if not for the time constraints, thesis, studies and whatnots.
10/10

The second video’s about a certain dialogue in the movie. It was made prior to the movie’s release though. It’s quite funny.
Some quotes I’d like to share courtesy of IMDB
Tom: People don’t realize this, but loneliness is underrated.
Rachel Hansen: Just because she’s likes the same bizzaro crap you do doesn’t mean she’s your soul mate.
Author’s Note: The following is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. Especially you Jenny Beckman. Bitch.
Partygoer: So Tom, what is it that you do?
Tom: I uh, I write greeting cards.
Summer: Tom could be a really great architect if he wanted to be.
Partygoer: That’s unusual, I mean, what made you go from one to the other?
Tom: I guess I just figured, why make something disposable like a builing when you can make something that last forever, like a greeting card.
Summer: We’ve been like Sid and Nancy for months now.
Tom: Summer, Sid stabbed Nancy, seven times with a kitchen knife, I mean we have some disagreements but I hardly think I’m Sid Vicious.
Summer: No I’m Sid.
Tom: Oh, so I’m Nancy…
[Pancakes arrive]
Summer: Let’s just eat and we’ll talk about it later. Mmm, that is good, I’m really glad we did this. I love these pancakes… what?
[Tom gets up and walks away from the table]
Summer: Tom, don’t go! You’re still my best friend!
Narrator: This is a story of boy meets girl. But you should know up front, this is not a love story.
Summer: You weren’t wrong, Tom. You were just wrong about me.
Vance: [reading a card that Tom has written] Roses are red, violets are blue… Fuck you, whore!
Tom: Paul, seriously…
Paul: Did you bang her?
Tom: No!
Paul: Blow job?
Tom: No!
Paul: Hand job?
Tom: No, Paul, no jobs. I’m still unemployed. We just kissed.
Paul: Robin is better than the girl of my dreams. She’s real.
And the line that really almost made me cry. It’s the scene wherein they see each other and Tom asks why he didn’t know she was already seeing somebody else, which eventually led to their marriage. Really made my eyes stare at this part. So heart breaking.
Summer: I woke up one morning and I just knew.
Tom: Knew what?
Summer: What I was never sure of with you.
You really have to watch the whole movie, not just the scene, to actually feel the whole gravity of this line.
OVERALL SCORE: 9/10
This movie is really for those who have had one of the worse experience in love: to be pulled in by someone you taught was the perfect person in your life, then suddenly leave you right in while that person gets up and walks away with someone else.
I really enjoyed watching this movie. It’s worth every second and cent you will spend. It really IS the coolest romantic comedy of the year!
Last but not least: Very Hi-Res pic of Tom and Summer.
If I ever laid my eyes in front of a woman like Zooey Deschanel, or even the character she portrays, I would just faint because of the beauty she would possess in front of me.
Thanks for reading! Watch this film, it really is great.
This is not a love story…This is a story about love.
Gucci bitch: Gusto mong nagbabasa ng blog ko diba? o eto, basahin mo.
LOL kung mabasa mo man ‘to xD sorry nalang sa mga sasabihin ko dito. Wala na ko sa sarili ko habang nagsusulat nito. Bahala na kung anu ang mapulot mong aral dito. Ilang buwan na din nung huling sumulat ako dito ng totoong BLOG. Sana maenjoy mo ‘to tulad ng pag enjoy ko sa pagsusulat na ginawa ko dito!
Matagal ko nang alam na avid fan ka ng blogs ko sa multiply. Yung tipong kahit may codename na and all, ang feelingera mo masyado at nalaman mong tungkol sya sa’yo. Ang talas naman ng pagiging KSP mo. Kahit naka codename na, alam mong ikaw pa rin ang pinaguusapan. Ganyan talaga eh, papansin ka. Nasa dugo mo na ang magpapansin. Puro ka pa-cute pero ang totoo pakyu ka! xD
Nakakabanas lang kasi. Noon natitiis ko pa yung ugali mong di pagtya-tyagaan ng isang normal na tao. Marahil di ako normal, pero nagising na’ko sa katotohanan: Wala kang kwentang tao.
Pinikit ko ang mga mata ko, tinakpan ko ang mga tainga ko, nagpa manhid ako para sa’yo kasi nagustuhan kita. Pero wala eh, masyado nang malakas ang pagiging gago mo para pagtakpan ko pa sa sarili kong kaluluwa.
Kadiri ka na. Dati lagi kong naiisip na mali yung pinagsasabi ng mga kaklase natin tungkol sa’yo. Sabi nila nahihibang ako para kampihan ka. Sabi nila love is blind nga. Sabi nila waste of everything ka. Lahat yun pinaglaban ko kahit na ayaw mo sa’kin kasi naisip ko na di naman siguro totoo yung mga yun. Pero akalain mong mali ako.
Minahal kita kasi di ko matukoy kung bakit kita mahal. Tatlong beses lang ako nagkagusto sa isang babae. Yung una kasi magaling syang kumanta ang maganda ang boses nya. Yung pangalawa kasi magaling sya sa mga art na ginagamitan ng kamay. Sa’yo lang naman ako nahilo eh. Nang tinamaan ako sa’yo, talagang inisip ko kung bakit ba ko in-love sa’yo.
Naisip ko na lang na minahal kita kasi di ko alam kung bakit dapat kang mahalin.
Pero…ang lahat ng iyon ay pawang kalokohan lang pala. Masyado akong nagandahan sa’yo. Yun lang yun siguro. Naging mababaw na ang pananaw ko sa pag-ibig. Nababawasan na’ko ng utak at napupuno ito ng tanga.
Kung alam mo lang sana kung gaanu kasama yang boyfriend mong yan. Di ko lang sinasabi sa’yo kasi malamang di ka maniniwala sa’kin. Ayoko namang sabihin sa mga friends mo at malamang di rin sila maniniwala sa’kin. Pero eto lang, masamang damo yan. Ibayong pag-iingat ang payo ko. Lalo na’t tatanga-tanga ka.
Kamusta nga pala yung isa mo pang lover? ang close nyo kasi na parang dalawa boyfriend mo. Dati di ko nilalagyan ng malisya yung bonding moments nyo, pero ngayong nagising na’ko sa katotohanan, tang ina pok pok ka ba? Ganun ba kasarap ibenta ang sarili mo sa mga lalaking mahilig tumangkilik sa mga ibibigay mong ligaya? Anu na ang nangyari sa babaeng minahal ko? “Andun, nagbebenta ng laman sa kabilang kanto” sabi ng konsensya ko.
Alam mo pa yung di ko maintindihan sa’yo? yung tipong TATLONG taon kang galit sa’kin. Hanggang ngayon. Kahit ako, di ko na alam ang pinagmulan ng galit mo. First year palang tayo, humihingi nako ng tawad sa’yo kasi ayoko kitang makaaway. ANG KASO ikaw ‘tong ayaw tumanggap ng sorry. Ni wala nga akong maalalang ginawang masama sa’yo noon eh. Ikaw ba alam mo ang rason kung bakit di mo ko kinakausap hanggang ngayon? Pustahan nagka alzheimer’s ka at di mo rin matandaan. Kung anu man yun, ang tindi naman masyado. 3 taon, since first year. EH nagusap lang tayo FIRST THREE DAYS NG KLASE. Tapos ever since then, kunwari bingi ka pag ako ang kaharap mo.
Tapos nung retreat natin last july. Nagsorry din ako. Kasi gusto ko na talagang matapos ‘to at kahit papaano maging casual friend man lang kita. Eh anung ginawa mo? nagbingi bingihan ka. Pinagmukha mo ‘kong tanga. Ang dami ko pang sinabi na tipong kulang nalang eh lumuhod ako sa harap mo at mag laslas ng leeg. Binaliwala mo lang ang lahat.
Naalala ko pa last sem, kinausap ako ng 2 friends ko tungkol sa “feelings” ko para sa’yo. sabi nila not worth it ka. may nakikita daw sila na obvious pero di ko raw pinapansin. sabi nila buksan ko raw ang mata ko. kahit daw mga CLOSE friends mo sabi may ugali kang gago. Nalungkot ako nang marinig ko yun mula sa 2 close friends ko sa klase. di ko alam kung sino ang paniniwalaan ko: sila o ang nararamdaman ko para sa’yo. Na-ulol siguro ako at mas pinili ko yung maling sagot.
Nawawalan na siguro ako sa tamang pag iisip kung iisipin ko pang matino kang babae. Maganda ka lang. Yun lang ata ang basehan ko kung bakit ako na in love sa’yo. Ganda lang yan. Sabi nga ni Bob Ong, lahat ng magaganda at guwapo, pag tanda, eh magmumukhang pandesal.
Di ko na mahintay ang araw na gaganti ako sa’yo.
