What would I do with the webcam? - Yugatech webcam giveaway!

Honestly, I've only had one webcam before. A generic one from CDr-King which didn't last long. (About 2 months or so).

I use it for video conferencing and stuffs but, ever since it was not functioning anymore, we just used Skype for meetings - voice only.

I would definitely want this Creative webcam because I am pretty sure that this will last VERY long. Sooo long that my laptop might have been changed for ten times already but the webcam would still work. I know the quality of Creative products.

What will I be doing with the webcam??

1. Stop the voice conference and start video conferencing again.

2. Chat face to face with my cousins abroad... I miss 'em!

3. Record my funny musings in video (like the one below) and maybe start a vlog :)


4. LIVE BLOGGING for everyone's viewing pleasure! like what my friend did last May (is that right? May?) broadcasting the Pyrolympics in Mall of Asia live online!


5. help save the earth! - I still don't know how but, yeah... maybe there is a CREATIVE way to use that WEBCAM YUGATECH is giving away.. :)

Try joining the contest if you want.. but please, don't beat me to it because I really want that Creative WebcamYugatech has..

Thanks in advance for the early Christmas gift, Abe! :)

Jeepney drift and killer buses (with video)

...and yet, another killer bus, strikes anew! When will they learn? They would never learn, in my opinion. They just do not care about their passengers and other motorists lives.

At least 15 people were hurt after a speeding passenger bus slammed into a concrete post along Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) in Cubao, Quezon City, Tuesday night.

Injured passengers rushed to the East Avenue Medical Center in Quezon City said their bus -- Nicholas Albert bus -- driven by Arnold Mariano was speeding along EDSA when it suddenly slammed into a concrete post of the Metro Rail Transit and crashed into another bus marked Renan Trans.

Mariano told traffic policemen that the Renan Trans bus suddenly cut them, which caused the accident.

Diosdado Cadillas, driver of the Renan Trans bus, denied Mariano's claim.

Traffic investigators have yet to determine who between the two bus drivers were telling the truth.

Statements from the passengers of the two buses were still being sorted out by the investigators.

Meanwhile, Mariano told ABS-CBN News that their bus company will shoulder the hospital bills of their injured passengers.

The incident took place weeks after a private car driven by a prominent eye doctor went into flames after being hit by a racing bus along EDSA, near Camp Aguinaldo.

On November 1, at least five people, including a priest, were killed after another bus slammed into their Toyota Revo along the North Luzon Expressway in Pampanga.

Someone make a move and pass a bill or whatever! Accidents won't stop rising if those irresponsible public utility vehicle drivers can't be disciplined.

Not only bus drivers but also, jeepney drivers should be disciplined! If you do not know what I am talking about, then you better watch this video I saw...











You know what's worst? read the video posters comment (I think he belongs to the same jeepey driver drifters group)

u guyz are aLso dump Bitch...!! u dont need to judge this video coz its a part of filipino trip.. ibAhin nio tong jeep na toh coz its KINOSHITA.. not a cheap and Stupid Jeepney.. unlyk others who are trying hard to drift!!! -atihsonik01rock

kau squatter.. mga words nio bgay sa squatter! the wheels an accessories are all original... so better not to judge ok?!!! -atihsonik01rock

I do not give a damn if they use original parts whatsoever! We are talking about other people's and the passengers lives here!

I wish someone from Land Transportation Office or the Media can see this...

...and this is why the Philippines is poor. It is because of these uncivilized no-brain drivers.

Best Rihanna Collab Songs

How awesome is Rihanna? Blasting through the scene with her Pon De Replays, S.O.S’s and Umbrella-ella-ellas, (couldn’t resist!) almost nobody with a television set can’t possibly not have heard of her.

With that distinctive voice of hers --- the type you hardly get enough of, it’s no surprise that she’s amassed eleven top 40 hit singles since her debut. For now, you’d have to wonder how other stars see her --- they all love her, and are willing to let her inject her unique vocal stylings in their songs --- whether it be to make new guaranteed singles, or remix several pre-existing songs.

Here are several of my favorite collaborations she’s done:

With Maroon 5 – “If I Never See Your Face Again”

Adam Levine’s no stranger to collaborations --- remember “Heard ‘Em Say” from Kanye’s album? In this song (and video) Rihanna and Adam seem to have a love-hate relationship going on, in-between verses, and then subsequently reverting to liking each other again. Featured on Maroon 5’s last album, it features the bands trademark sound, complemented by Rihanna’s voice.

With T.I. – “Live Your Life”

Sampling “Dragonstea Din Tei,” how could this song not catch your attention? As a bonus, it’s a shout-out to all the troops in Iraq.

With Ne-Yo – “Hate That I Love You”

This has to be one of the sexiest songs to come out in 2007. At first you’d start thinking that it’s just another RnB-dance-along tune, but the lyrics are deeper, almost hinting at obsession.

With Chris Brown – “Umbrella (Cinderella Remix)”

Because this is where it all started. A remix of what is arguably Rihanna’s most popular song since “S.O.S.” --- it has a couple of verses that reverse Umbrella’s “looking for someone to share an umbrella with,” with “looking for the one with the glass slippers,” the princess. This was way before there was even any rumor that they were seeing each other.

With only a few days left, you could catch both of them LIVE in Taguig, Philippines. Globe is a major sponsor!

One deadly November 1 noon

Investigators said the bus smashed into the AUV after it overtook the vehicle ahead of it. The bus was headed for San Carlos, Pangasinan while the AUV was headed toward Manila.

Based on the extent of the damage to both vehicles, investigators say the bus and the AUV were travelling more than 100 kph.

The driver of the AUV has been identified as a priest, Father Domingo Moraleda. Authorities asked that the identity of the female passenger be witheld since her family has yet to be contacted. report from Ron Gagalac, ABS-CBN News

Who is to blame here? The killer bus, strikes again. They get suspended and after a month, they are free to go again. They would eventually kill, get suspended and be freed again.

They are like criminals who gets jailed for a month for murder and they can go out and kill again. Driving a vehicle is a big responsibility. Lives are at stake here, not chicken crossing roads.

I've saw a plurk message from Azrael (from another person) that the media didn't get the facts right. A witness saw it all but the investigators didn't believe him.
fermina nclex bus accident
The Revo was parked in the shoulder lane facing the now suspended, Fermina bus. In the reports, the investigators said that the Revo was running at high speeds.

I hope they get the facts right and do more than suspending drivers and bus companies to prevent further unwanted deaths.

Would you ride a bus thinking it would kill you? I'm sure you won't!

Uhmm, Doc, I can’t speak up but I can still hear you loud and clear!

14. We had been looking at your X-ray and we can’t figure out if it’s the left or the right.
Go back to nursery and have them teach you the song “I have two hands!”

I just hope that you won’t hear this from your doctors anytime soon or better yet, ever!
