For the past few months, my post: not a good weekend… The Sleeper dvd

Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown movie had a couple of visitors asking for help and all… But one brave woman took a step forward and used her wits to ‘outwit’ the ‘helpers’ as they say.

To Diane, nice job! I hope with that post those who are about to give up will fight for what is theirs.

2008 Black Nazarene Feast

Published on February 10, 2008 in News. 0 Comments

Yesterday, Filipinos celebrated the Black Nazarene Feast at Quiapo Church Manila. Millions of devotees swarmed the place to ask for blessing, forgiveness and repentance to the blessed figure.

If you’re not that fit to fill in the crowd, I strongly suggest to view from afar or better watch the tv. In this photo (by Ryan

(The Black Nazarene and its devotees)

If you guys wonder how come so many people gather in this event, they say that the rope that’s connected behind the car of the statue is already blessed. Especially the statue itself. My mother said that many (if not all) made the wishes of the devotees come true. In return they pay tribute and offer their gratitude. One of my relatives swore that he’ll attend to this feast as long as his body can handle the stress.

Some say that despite the heat and possible confrontations with other devotees, at the end of the day, they somehow feel refreshed and they feel that they are ready for another beating. :no1:

Two years ago I was able to cross along Quiapo on my way home and I saw some of the people got hurt, others suffered from dehydration, while others got some bruises. This year’s celebration took two lives. That’s what I’ve heard from the news, I don’t know what happened to the other guy, but what I’ve heard was a 44 year-old man tripped from the crowd and was stomped by the other devotees. Of course they didn’t intend to kill the man but with this year’s attendance, death is certain. (Ilang paa rin yun.)

Anyway, its one feast that I’m proud of being Pinoy. Holding the tradition for hundreds of years is not a joke. :no1:

MANILA, Philippines — Noted Filipino IT entrepreneur Diosdado Banatao has taken over the reins of American high-tech firm SiRF Technology, following the resignation of the company’s CEO.

According to a report The River Wild download

from GPS World, Banatao was announced interim president following the resignation of president and CEO Michael Canning.

Banatao, one of the investors in the company, also serves as executive chairman of SiRF Technology Holdings Inc.

SiRF specializes in personal navigation devices (PNDs) that make use of global positioning system or GPS technology.

According to the report, SiRF’s stock price rose on the NASDAQ following the announcement of Banatao as interim president and CEO. The company, however, has been hit by the current economic slowdown in the US and mounting pressure due to the crowded PND market in the US.

Banatao, who is based in Silicon Valley in the United States, is also a managing partner at Tallwood Venture Capital, which invests in high-tech firms.

He has also founded several companies in the US including SonicBlue Inc. and Mostron, and has patented commonly used chip technologies including the first Windows graphical user interface (GUI) accelerator chip.

Banatao, who is originally from Cagayan province, graduated from Mapua Institute of Technology and holds a master’s degree in engineering from Stanford University.buy The Craft
