Gwiyomi Fever in Manila!

What is Gwiyomi song?

The word “gwiyomi” simply means “cute”. The “gwiyomi song” is a cute Korean song about a girl asking his boyfriend to promise her not to look to other girls.

 

This is a K-pop single popularized by South Korean singer Hari and was released on February 18, 2013. It was inspired by a gesture from rapper South Korean Jung Ilhoon of boy group BtoB. The gesture is called 'Gwiyomi Player', which became an Internet in October 2012 followed by its first appearance on South Korean reality show by SBS MTV named MTV Diary. The gesture has also inspired many Asian netizens to upload their own versions onto the internet. On March 26, The Bangkok Post described the "Gwiyomi" song as the latest web-viral sensation that has unseated "Gangnam Style" to become the new K-pop craze.

 

Here are some videos of Filipina celebrities who joined the Gwiyomi craze:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the winner is.....

 

 

 

Let’s all do the Gwiyomi craze! :D

 

Other Barretto Siblings take sides; Mom Inday calls Gretchen a liar!

Hmm this issue is getting hotter and juicier!

There's a raging war between Gretchen Barretto (with sister Marjorie) on one side and their mom Inday Barretto (and daughter Claudine) on the other side.

 

Like most celebrities, Gretchen loves to post on Instagram updates on what’s going on with her life, including photos of her branded personal items. Aside from commenting on Gretchen’s messages, an unidentified netizen put in an uncalled-for comment about Julia Barretto being “maarte.” Julia is the daughter of Marjorie and Dennis Padilla being built up by ABS-CBN as a possible heiress of Claudine’s “title” as a Kapamilya Teleserye Princess.

 

Gretchen must have suspected that the comment came from Claudine. What appeared next on Gretchen’s Instagram were questions about somebody (unnamed) being very violent, who had ruined her husband’s Porsche and laptop (that’s why he left her), adding that that somebody was better off in her favorite place, the Medical City.

Halle Berry’s New Look as Storm in ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’

In case there were any lingering questions about it, Halle Berry is most definitely returning to the "X-Men" series. Director Bryan Singer tweeted definitive proof on Monday, posting a pic from the "X-Men: Days of Future Past" set that features the gorgeous and pregnant Oscar-winning actress in her full Storm costume.

That costume may look familiar -- indeed, it unmistakably proclaims "STORM!" with a crack of lightning and boom of thunder. But it has some notable differences from the uniform she wore in her previous "X-Men" outings. In "X-Men" (2000), "X2" (2003) and "X-Men: The Last Stand" (2006), Storm had a much more official-looking outfit, one made of leather (natch) and sporting the "X" insignia on both the belt and collar. This new costume is much more rugged and less flashy, coming across as kind of an "extreme sports" version of the outfit with its harness-like vest and decidedly less impressive cape/wings.

Tony Stark and his 42 Ironman Suits

Did you know that Tony Stark has 42 suits in Ironman 3?

In a new behind-the-scenes clip, Robert Downey Jr., Marvel’s Kevin Feige, and Iron Man 3 director Shane Black discuss Tony Stark's obsession with building up an artillery of Iron Man suits.

“At the beginning of this movie there are 42 suits,” says Black in the one-and-a-half-minute featurette. “He’s been doing nothing but building suits and suits and suits and suits. It’s an obsession.” adds Feige. The film’s suit construction supervisor, Lindsay MacGowan (the real genius behind Stark’s well-armoured wardrobe), shows off the first seven Iron Man getups and Downey introduces the new bomb disposal suit as well as the pinnacle of his character’s life’s work, the Mark 42 (controlled by sub-dermal implants with more advanced technological capabilities than the kind favoured by today’s body modification enthusiasts).

The lavish lifestyle of a 6-year-old beauty pageant millionaire

I remembered Britney Spears singing "She's so lucky... she's a star..." It was really amazing how this little girl has gotten real fairytale in her hands... what a lucky kid :)

Former Toddlers and Tiaras star Isabella Barrett is a millionaire at the age of six, thanks to her impressive beauty pageant record, TV appearances, and her own jewellery and make-up line.

And the young entrepreneur has developed the lifestyle to go with her riches, telling the Daily Mirror all about her expensive taste in food, clothes and shoes.

'What’s not to like about being a millionaire?' she told the paper. 'I’m a superstar, I have my own jewellery line and I just love being the boss. I never lose at anything and almost every pageant I enter, I win. But what I love more than anything is shoes. I have over 60 pairs.'
 

 

Isabella's mom Susanna, 39, co-owns the jewellery business with her daughter and entered the girl in her first pageant.
 

She told the Mirror she doesn't want her daughter to 'grow up spoilt.' But Susanna added 'You see what happens to these child stars like Britney Spears and I certainly do not want that happening to my daughter. But she does like nice things, so we do treat her.'

 

BREAKING NEWS: Letter addressed to Obama ''has tested positive for deadly poison ricin - ONE day after substance found in parcel meant for Mississippi senator

A letter addressed to President Barack Obama has tested positive for traces of the deadly poison ricin, it was revealed today, making it the second poison-laced letter intended for high-ranking members of the U.S. government.

The Secret Service said that the letter contained a 'suspicious substance.'
A source told ABC News that another letter has shown traces of the substance only a day after authorities intercepted a letter addressed to Mississippi Republican Sen. Rocker Wicker.

The Capitol Police did not immediately return MailOnline's request for comment. It is unclear whether the two letters containing ricin are at all related.
A suspicious letter that tested positive for ricin, a substance that is fatal when ingested, was sent yesterday to Mississippi Republican’s offices in Washington. News of the package sent shock waves throughout Capitol Hill.

The FBI and Capitol Police have not yet released the identity of the suspect to the public, but Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri said today that the person in question ‘writes a lot of letters to (Congress) members.’

Both authorities declined to comment further on the situation.



The discovery of the ricin-laced letter put politicians on edge, as its delivery came only a day after Monday’s deadly bombings at the Boston Marathon.

The letter was believed to originate in Memphis, Tennessee, and it did not have a return address, according to initial reports.

The letter tested positive for ricin three times, but due to the frequency of false-positives on ricin tests, it will undergo further testing in a Baltimore lab.

In response to the ricin letter, the House and Senate have temporarily closed their post offices.

Who is North Korea's Kim Jong Un?

As North Korea tension intensifies dramatically, much attention is now focused on the country's leader Kim Jong Un, the third and youngest son of Kim Jong-il, the former dictatorial leader of North Korea. However, very little is known about the nation's young head of state.

Before Kim took over from his father, he had barely been seen in public. And even though he's been in charge for more than a year, there's been only few information about his personality and habits.

North Korean media calls Kim Jong Un "the greatest-ever commander." Dennis Rodman says he is "a normal guy."

But who is the real Kim Jong Un?

Here are top ten fun facts about North Korea's Leader:

1. His Date of Birth is a Mystery
Kim is believed to have been born in 1982, 1983 or 1984 as the child of former North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and his third wife, a dancer named Ko Young Hui. Kenji Fujimoto, a sushi chef who worked for his family until 2001 and later wrote a tell-all, claims he was born Jan. 8, 1983 — the same date as The King "Elvis Presley".

2. World's Youngest Head of State
Whether he was born in 1983 or 1984, Kim is currently the world's youngest head of state.

Obama says he doesn't believe North Korea has nuclear missile

(CNN) -- President Barack Obama has said he doesn't believe North Korea can fit a nuclear warhead on a missile, casting strong doubt on an alarming assessment disclosed last week by the Pentagon's intelligence arm.

 

And he warned the young North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that weeks of threats against the United States and South Korea had only served to isolate the regime further.

 

Asked in an NBC News interview whether North Korea could put a nuclear weapon on a ballistic missile, Obama said, "Based on our current intelligence assessments, we do not think that they have that capacity."

 

According to a snippet of a document read out by a congressman at a House Armed Services Committee hearing last week, the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency believes "with moderate confidence" that the North has developed nuclear weapons it could deliver on a ballistic missile, although with low reliability.

U.S. defense and intelligence officials sought to qualify the DIA's words soon after they were made public, saying North Korea hadn't "fully" demonstrated the capabilities mentioned. But Obama's comments in the NBC interview, which was recorded Monday and broadcast Tuesday, appear to be the strongest dismissal of the assessment yet.

 

Obama cautioned, though, that amid North Korea's recent dramatic threats, the United States has to "make sure that we are dealing with every contingency out there."

 

"That's why I've repositioned missile defense systems to guard against any miscalculation on their part," he said, an apparent reference to the recent decision to move missile defenses to Guam, a Western Pacific territory that is home to U.S. naval and air bases that the North has cited as possible targets for attack.

Top-earning hedge-fund chief takes home $2.2 billion in 2012

Last year was a tough one for hedge funds, but the 25 top-earning hedge fund managers still managed to pull in a combined $14.14 billion in 2012, according to an Institutional Investor magazine ranking.

The 12th annual "rich list" placed David Tepper, founder of the New Jersey-based Appaloosa Management, atop its ranking. Alpha magazine said he made $2.2 billion in 2012.
  

 
Three others earned more than $1 billion apiece: Bridgewater Associates' Raymond Dalio with $1.7 billion, SAC Capital Advisors' Steven Cohen with $1.4 billion and Renaissance Technologies' James Simons with $1.1 billion.

The rankings are based on combined earnings from performance fees and management fees. All managers on the list earned at least $200 million, up from a minimum of $100 million from a year earlier.

It may seem striking that managers took home such hefty paychecks, considering that the average hedge fund returned just 6.2% in 2012, according to Hedge Fund Research, in a year when the S&P 500 gained 13%.

But while the payout numbers are high, the combined $14.14 billion earned by the ranked managers is the lowest sum since 2008. Last year's number was down just slightly from 2011.

There was only one new kid on the block on this year's list: Discovery Capital Management's Robert Citrone made it into the rankings for the first time.

Several of 2011's top earners disappeared from this year's list, including Carl Icahn, after he returned his investors' money in 2011 and only invested with his fund's own capital.

American Airlines grounds flights due to computer fault

About 900 flights are said to be affected.

American Airlines had to ground all its flights across the US on Tuesday due to a fault with its computerised reservation system.

The carrier halted all departures from about 13:30 ET (18:30 GMT), saying that it was working "to resolve this issue as quickly as we can".

American fixed the problem three hours later, but warned that it expected to see delays and cancelations for the remainder of the day.

About 900 flights were affected.

American said it would offer refunds and allow passengers to change flights for free.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which regulates civil aviation in the US, confirmed that American had asked to halt its flights while the problem was rectified. -BBC News

2 killed, more than 100 injured in Boston Marathon bombing

Two killed in bomb blasts near finish line of Boston Marathon, Boston police say. Area hospitals say at least 110 are injured.

Two explosions happened at about 2:50 p.m., more than two hours after the first of the race’s nearly 27,000 runners had crossed the finish line.

Boston.com journalist reports “blood everywhere,” people missing limbs.
Race called off; Red Cross and Google set up websites to help people find loved ones in the area.

Boston cell phone services were overloaded in the wake of the blast, slowing the city’s network dramatically and hampering the investigation in the early going, federal law enforcement officials told CNN.

SM, Waltermart join forces

MANILA, Philippines - One of the strategies of the Sy group to counter the aggressive expansion of Lucio Co-led retailer Puregold is proceeding well.

On Monday, April 15, SM Investments Corp (SMIC) confirmed a report quoting its chief finance officer Jose Sio that the group is wrapping up its due diligence for, as well as its investments in, the 50-50 partnership with retailer Waltermart.

"We confirm that our investment for joint venture with Waltermart is proceeding positively," SMIC told the Philippine Stock Exchange. The two announced their joint venture deal in January. They had said then they need 6 months for due diligence work.

“We are proceeding with the investment for Waltermart,” Sio was quoted as saying.
The value of the deal has not been disclosed.

Is this the new IPAD5?

A photo of what appears to be the iPad 5, Apple Inc.'s next-generation iPad tablet, has been leaked online.

Engadget cited a photo posted on French site NowhereElse.fr indicating the front of the iPad with a narrower bezel.

"The biggest difference compared to the third and fourth generation devices is the narrower bezel that runs down the sides and those chamfered shiny edges," it said.

It added there have been many rumors circulating that the next-generation iPad will be retooled and "sporting the same design language as the iPad Mini and iPhone 5."

A translation of the NoWhereElse.fr article indicated it got its photo from a Chinese source.

The iPad has dominated the tablet market, although it is now getting more competition from Android-run devices. — TJD, GMA News

Never Too Old, Never Too Late - Successful KFC Story

Did you know that the owner of Kentucky Fried Chicken, Harlan David Sanders, well known as Colonel Sanders, was 65 years old when he started Kentucy Fried Chicken?   Kentucky Fried Chicken was a brand new business idea for him.

In his youth, Sanders worked many different jobs from farming to steamboat pilot, to insurance salesman. When he turned 40 years old, he started a service station and sold chicken dinners to his patrons. Over a number of years he developing the way he pressure fried the chicken. As the demand for his special chicken grew, he opened a restaurant. As fate would have it, a major interstate was built, which diverted traffic away from the road his restaurant was on. Sanders decided to franchise his business and Kentucky Fried Chicken was born. In 1964, Col. Sanders sold his stake in the company for $2 million. By then, he was in his 70s.

‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’: New Stills Feature a Contemplative Katniss

Two new official stills from the upcoming "Hunger Games" sequel have been released, featuring a Katniss Everdeen who's traded her crossbow for a deep sense of dark contemplation.

It's only been a little over a year since the release of the original "Hunger Games," but star Jennifer Lawrence actually looks considerably older in the new pics from "Catching Fire." Maybe it's because we now see her more as "a woman" due to her Oscar-winning turn in "Silver Linings Playbook" than as the teenage heroine of a YA adaptation, but more likely it's because that Katniss herself has grown in leaps and bounds since co-winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games … and is about to embark on an even more deadly and taxing challenge.                         

How an Insult Created Italian Luxury Sports Car “Lamborghini”

Did you know that Lamborghini cars were only created because a tractor builder was insulted by Ferrari founder?



Ferruccio Lamborghini was a self made millionaire, he made a fortune by building tractors from army surplus left by the Allied Forces back in 1945. He started this business from a small garage but soon was able to move to larger buildings because demand for his very powerfull tractors rose. He also started manufacturing oil burners and airconditioning systems after his tractor plant started making lots of money, it turned out his second business also made big money so Ferruccio Lamborghini became one the wealthiest men in Italy. He could afford just about everything he wanted, including high speed GT cars like the Mercedes SL300 and Ferrari he owned alongside the Jaguar he liked very much. But his Ferrari started giving problems with the clutch, the local workshop couldn’t fix this problem so Ferruccio decided to drive to Modena and confront Enzo Ferrari himself. But Enzo, who was known for his arrogance, told this ‘farmer’ to take a walk.

Kobe Bryant limps off court with probable torn Achilles

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kobe Bryant pushed his fraying body and his Los Angeles Lakers teammates relentlessly through the second half of a vital game until he felt a searing pain in his left heel.

Bryant's Achilles tendon apparently is torn. His season likely is over.
And though the Lakers held on to beat the Golden State Warriors, Bryant thinks they'll have to continue their playoff chase without their leader.

How Many Teaspoons of Sugar Are There in a Can of Coke?

Did you know? A 12-oz. can of Coca-Cola Classic contains 41 g of sugars, according to the Harvard School of Public Health, or HSPH. A teaspoon is equivalent to 4.2 g of sugar, according to the HSPH. This means that a can of coke contains about 10 tsp. of sugar per can. The HSPH labels Coke as a drink that you should only consume sparingly and infrequently because of the relatively high sugar content.

 

 

A can of Coke also contains 146 calories from sugar, and these calories can really add up when you consume multiple cans per day. Twenty-oz. bottles of Coke contain even more sugar, so you're actually drinking close to 250 calories from sugar alone. These empty calories contain little or no nutritional value, so they often get stored as fat in your body.

SSS relaxes rules for Educational Loan

MANILA - More members of the Social Security System (SSS) can avail of its education loan window, after the pension fund relaxed some of its rules.

In a statement, SSS president Emilio de Quiros Jr. said the pension fund has liberalized the guidelines of its SSS Educational Assistance Loan Program (Educ-Assist).

Among the changes in the rules is an increase in the qualifying salary ceiling from P15,000 a month to P25,000.

"Members can now borrow up to P20,000 per semester or trimester, up from the previous limit of P15,000 for college degrees. For voc-tech courses, we likewise increased the maximum loanable amount to P10,000 from the previous cap of P7,500 per semester or trimester," de Quiros said.

The government subsidizes half of the P7 billion Educ-Assist Fund.

The loans must be used to pay for tuition and miscellaneous fees and are intended to help students from low-income families.
