My 2011 Top 20 best twitter account (Not to include the celebrities)

I joined in this tweeting world last 2008. But you see I'm not active on this micro blogging not until April 2011 for the reason that I can't update it anymore. I have so many accounts in networking sites; I have two accounts on now defunct friendster.com ( which I rarely open it and thank God that its owner already  demolished that site.. ha-ha! ) , three accounts on Multiply.com , three accounts on blogger.com , one account on Facebook.com and etc. I started to update my twitter account when these social networking sites mention above became too boring for me. So boooo! I’m tweeting with the username akolasalista, following and being followed. Yeah, recently I have 17, 568 tweets to date, I follow 344 people (celebrities and ordinary people alike) and 653 follows me (well I’m not a celebrity to have millions).

Every End of the Year I am fond of listing my top contacts in multiply .com. I first did this listing last 2008 when I listed my top 20 contacts at my account in multiply and many have responded. Well apparently I’m an Active user of multiply at that time. 

This 2011 since I’m active in twitter.com than any networking sites, I decided to list my top 20 best twitter account that I follow. I spent one day and a half to think of criteria to this.  The Criteria are as follows:

1. Display Pictures: Well to prove that it’s really an authentic account not a poser, DP or Display Pictures must be real and attractive ( you know what I meant ha-ha-ha).Apparently and I’m certain, that is the main reason why people follow you, because of your DP or Display Pictures.
2. Number Of followers: It’s really an achievement if you are not celebrities yet you manage to gain followers.
3. Attitude : Won’t explain this further. Self Explanatory (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
4. Tweets : Your tweets also help you gain follower/followers. Your tweet defines who you are
5. Frequency: How frequent or active you are in updating your tweets.  

And now, I have my 20 of the best twitter accounts that I follow of which I don't include the Celebrities. This is not a countdown but purely a list. Out of 344 twitter accounts that I follow these are the best of the best.

Apparently He is dubbed as one of the internet celebrities.  He is famous in tumblr, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. In fact he has a fans-club named Paolo-lovers (though I'm not a part of that club. ha-ha-ha). I saw his tumblr account (kimpoyfeliciano). I must say he is good in blogging, as well as editing pictures. He has wild and intelligent imaginations. I also watched one of his videos in you tube particularly the '"hi miss"   video. I must say it is funny,and interesting. Currently it has 683 900 hits and counting still. 

Well he is Paulo Feliciano with the User name of @kimpoyfeliciano

Farewell 2011, Welcome 2012

2011 is almost over. Few Days from now we will be now welcoming the end of the world (ha-ha-ha-) like in the song 2012, another year for all of us. Another Chapter that will be unfolding but we really don't know what 2012 has in store for all of us, humans. I am certain that it's not the end of the world. New Year for me well in fact a transition to a new beginning! Perhaps a new beginning to start again our old routine, apparently our old habits same as the previous year or maybe again to start a better you. Better us! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYBODY! KEEP SAFE. PEACE OUT!

Depensa ng mga Aquino: Kris Aquino depends on Pnoy having Party.

Ngayon po ay ika dalawampu’t Isa ng Desymbre

Sa unang pagkakataon ako’y sumulat ng isang blog na ginamit ko ang wikang Filipino.

Para po sa lahat, hindi po lingid sa ating kaalaman ang nangyari sa Mindanao partukular sa Iligan at Cagayan de oro noong nakaraang Sabado Desymbre  17 taon dalawang libo at labing isa, Sinalanta ng bagyong Sendong ang kabisaya-an at ang MIndanao at nag dulot ng baha sa nasabing lugar. Marami po ang nawalan ng tirahan, marami po ang nawalan ng hanap buhay at marami din po ang namatay. Yan po ang dulot na walang humpay na ulan dala ng bagyong sendong.

Sa mga pangyayaring ito, hindi maiiwasan ang mag tanong na ano kayang gagawin ni Pangulo Binigno “noy-noy” Aqunio. Ano kaya ang mga plano niya noong kasag-sagan ng bagyong sendong. Saan po bah siya. Sino ang kasama niya.

Napag-alaman po sa isang tweet ng actress na si Valerie Conception na andoon po siya kasama si Pangulo sa isang party ng mga PSG sa Malacanang at masayang nakikiparty sa kasagsagan ng bagyong Sendong. .

Maraming nagalit, maraming bumatikos kay Pangulong Aquino dahil umanoy nakuha pa ng Pangulo na dumalo sa party habang ang kabisaya-an at Mindanao ay sinasalanta ng bagyong sendong. Maraming mga kuro-kuro, marami ng nakisawsaw sa isang tweet ng aktres.

Ito tayo, wala tayong alam kundi mag-sisihan, hahanap tao nga taong mapagbubuntungan ng galit. Sa sa pagkakataon na ito si Pangulo Noy-Noy at ang mga Aqunio dahi lang sa isang tweet ng aktres tungol sa pag dalo ni Pangulo sa isang PSG party.

Agad dumipinsa ang mga babeng kapatid ni Pnoy:

"Ngayon, 'yun namang party ay matagal nang naka-schedule 'yon. Siyempre, may mga masasamang nangyayari at may malungkot but then, life should go on. Hindi naman pwedeng huminto na lang ang buhay at magmukmok na lang tayo” -Balsy Aqunio

"Sana huwag napakabilis ng batikos kasi napakaraming ahensiya ang nagtatrabaho na. It's just that a President is not like you or me na we can hop on a plane and go there because there are a lot of national concerns. -Kris Aquino

Yan din ang nag pagalit ng todo sa ng mga kapatid nating Pilipino. Ilang nating kababayan ay nagpahayag ng pagadismaya at galit. Partiluar na sa bagong Media ngayon na Internet, maraming mga negatibong commento at marami din naman positibo.

Niintindihan ko ang aking mga kapatid na Pilipino na magalit ng ganoon. Hindi Biro na mawalan ng Tirahan, hanap buhay, at higit sa lahat mawalan ng mga kamag-anak,Yan na ata ang pinakamasaklap.

Para ho sa akin, ang statement ng mga Babaeng Kapatid ng Pangulo ay depende yan sa mga nakikinig at bumabasa.

 Punto per punto

1. Tama ho si balsy ang kabuo-an ng statement niya ay ang pag-move on. Wala na po tayong magagawa sa mga pangyayari. Ang magagawa na lng natin ay tumulong.

2. Tama din po si Kris. Maraming ahensiya ang Gobernyo. At may itinalaga ang Pangulo upang magasi-wa nito. Sapanahon ng bagyo Anjan ang Pag-asa, NDCC. Andajan din ang DSWD para mag hatid ng tulong. May local Government po.. Barangay captain, mayor, governor upang mangasiwa sa isang probinsya o lugar.  Malaki ang Pilipinas di po kaya ng isang pangaluo na siya na lang ang lahat.

3. Ano kaya ang gusto ng ilang tao, si Pangulo mismo ang Lulusong ng baha, siya ang mag rescue at siya din ang mamahagi ng Relief good?

4. Kahit sino din naman ang Pangulo ng Pilipinas, binabatikos nito.  Hinahanap ng mali.

5. Hindi sulosyon ang magsisihan, tumulong na lang

Hindi po ako taga Iligan at Hindi po ako taga Cagayan de Oro, Pero Bilang Pilipino, may responsibilidad akong para tumulong. Yan na lang sana ang ating magagawa! Ang magsisihan ay walang mabuting maiidulot. Hindi po ako Pro-Aqunio o Anti-Aquino.  Alam natin na maraming nawalan ng tirahan, maraming nawalan ng hanap buhay at maraming namatay. Tama po, mahirrap po na tangapin ang lahat.  Pero sana naman yong mga tao hwag ng dagdagan ang hirap na dinadaranas nila ngayon. TUMULONG NA LANG TAYO BILANG ISA DIN PILIPINO.

Sad December

Good Evening, Today is December 19, 2011 at exactly 11:24pm

Philippines were hit again by flood brought about by the typhoon named Sendong. This time it hit Mindanao area specifically Iligan and Cagayan De Oro (CDO). The Two cities were the most affected killing more than 600 people. The flood hit mid midnight and it didn't spare anyone. Young and adults, all were worst affected by the flood.

real images during and after the flood

Try to picture this out- the flood reached the second floor of the tallest building there. Imagine how struggling could that it be to the people of Iligan and CDO. PAGASA (weather observatory in the Philippines ) said that the rain fall that fell during that night was equivalent to a one month rain, so what do you expect- heavy rainfall that resulting in FLOODING. Certainly, people were not ready for that sad event. No one ever expected it until it happened. It was so fast; the water level rises so quickly that our brothers and sisters could not think properly were to go and sought for help. Though there were rescuers at that time but the greatest enemy was a strong current pushing at them. 

Two days after the flood swept Mindanao, the damages brought by sendong are very evident. Sad thing was, lots of lives were lost and we can not change that. It's a natural disaster and there's nothing we can do but to move on. 

As a Filipino Citizen we all have the duties and responsibilities to help our brothers and sisters affected by sendong.Reach out and help! 

Lets all pray to the Almighty that everything will be okay and safe. Iligan and CDO will rebuild in God's time and in his way. 

Most importantly, never underestimate Mother Nature.  Take good Care of her or else...

Idiot Box

No matter how the world is being controlled by world wide web this idiot box will still shine above the rest. 

Versus The Da Vinci Code

The New York Daily News describes the book as “one hell of the read…”.The New York times hailed the book as breath taking : “Not since the advent of Harry Potter has the author so flagrantly delighted in leading readers on a breathless chase’’.

It’s almost a decade since the first publication of the Da Vinci code, 2003 to be exact but I don’t have any interest of this book not until this year 2011.  Well apparently I was force to read it because for almost four months now, I don’t have any means to entertain my self to fight this boredom in the absence of the idiot box and internet connection. I’m back to basic-BOOKS!

I turned into the Number one New York Times Best Seller and Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code.  So the book has 104 chapters. It mainly talks about the Holy Grail, Relationship of Jesus Christ to Mary Magdalene, The Priory of Sion, Opus dei and of course the Catholic Church. Obviously the Da Vinci code was against the Catholic Church, but I don’t think I have to summarize the story. I am certain that you all have read the book religiously.  Though the main Character like Robert Langdon, Sophia Nevue came from the imagination of the author but the settings where the story happens, the places, paintings that are mentioned in some chapters, architectures, etc are all facts. Some Chapters for me was a sort of blasphemy to Jesus Christ and also to the Catholic Church.   As I reached chapter 61 to 83 specifically I talks about Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene, Particularly their true intimate relationship to each other. And I would like echo on what I have just said that Da Vinci code was clearly against some of the teachings of the Catholic Church.

I’m certain that this book is a fiction. If its not, the book should have been in the general information section at the book store where I bought it. As you can see at the spine of the book it is categorized as fiction.  A fiction as we defined it as  a  form of any narrative or informative work that deals, in part or in whole, with information or events that are not factual, but rather, imaginary—that is, invented by the author.   So it’s clearly a product of Brown’s imagination and its quest in finding the True Nature of the HOLY GRAIL. This is the other story of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene opposite to the bible and to the Catholic Church. I am certain that this is a Novel and a fiction. NO more, no less.

“In the End, which side of the story you believe becomes the matter of faith. And personal exploration…” - Robert Langdon

Top Quote of the month (September)

Shamcey Supsup

''If I had to change my religious beliefs, I would not marry the person that I love because the first person I love is God, Who created me. I have my faith and my principles, and this is what makes me who I am. And if that person loves me, he should love my God, too ''  -

Shamcey Supsup, 2011 Miss Universe 3rd runner-up 

Oprah Winfrey stated ''Miss Philippines deserve to win''

Hours after the Sao Paulo, Brazil Crowned the New Miss Universe, still the the decision of the judges regarding Miss Angola's winning is a hot topic at the whole world through Internet. May it be at Facebook, tumbler and twitter all of these are filled with the result of Miss Universe 2011, specifically Miss Angola and Miss Philippines. 

In a report on NBC news  the Queen of talk and Hollywood Superstar made a controversial statement about Miss Universe 2011 result and she said that miss Philippines deserve the crown. Here is Oprah's statement:   

''I have a reservations with the result. If Only basis is the Q and A portion, After having been trimmed down to 5, miss Philippines deserve to win. What made her different from the rest is that she had no seconds to rethink of her answer as she had no interpreter to break the ice. The rest had their interpreters and having breaks on seconds to think about their answers. Hands down, Ms. Philippines answered straight to the point ''  

Miss Philippines deserve to win!  

On Personal note, again Miss Angola won the crown and we cant change that and also If you are really an Oprah Winfrey fanatic would you really believe she actually said that?  what are your thoughts?

and she won: 2011 Miss Universe

Sao Paulo, Brazil crowned the new Miss Universe! She is  Leila Lopez of Angola, Miss Universe 2011. No one ever expected it. I myself was rooting for Ms. Philippines, Shamcey Supsup.

She proves to the Universe that she can be Miss Universe and Miss Angola did.

But her winning is a trending topic at Twitter.  Twitter Enthusiast burst there anger why she won the 2011 Miss Universe. I was reading tweets at my timeline and almost all were very disappointed why she won the competition. I am a Filipino so I want Miss Philippines to be crowned. Though not all, it is a known fact that Filipino want a Filipino to be crowned as Miss Universe. So I'l be biased really!

Miss Angola won  the crown and I can't change that. We can't change that.

Remembering 9/11

Good morning,Its about 12:10am and today is 9/11,

Exactly a decade after the Mighty United States of America was deliberately attacked by a terrorist on the morning of September 11, 2001. The two planes was intentionally crashed into the World Trade center or also known as Twin towers. The two towers collapsed.

Time line for the day of September 11 attacks 

''... early in the morning of September 11, 19 hijakcers took control of the four commercial airliners en route to San Francisco and Los Angelos after take off from Boston...8:30am, five hijackers crashed American airlines flight 11 into the World Trade North Center (1WTC) and 9:03am another five hijackers crashed United Airlines 175 into the South Towers (2WTC)"

No one ever expected that incident until it happened!  I was going to school ( I was freshmen high) at that time when the news broke out through a breaking news form a morning news show Alas Singko Y medya ( a morning show of ABS CBN literally means 5:30am) . I really thought It was just a scene of a certain Hollywood movie until my dad reacted, but I ignored it for the fact that I was not into current events at that time. It was a normal day for me and it was! I arrived at the school and attended my first class-A-history-class! First thing I heard from our teacher was about the attacked. This means more information about what happen and it made sense to me. Our teacher even made it as an home work to gather a news clippings about the 9/11 attacked. Upon going home, as expected all news was the attacked and that time was so clear to me that it was a TERRORIST ATTACK!

The 9/11 was tragic! I personally called it a black day. Many got injured and the worst many died; civilians and military alike. The whole world mourned and cry together with the Americans.

"There were a total of 2, 996 deaths, including the 19 hijackers and 2,977 victims. The victims included 246 on the four planes (from which there were no survivors), 2,606 in the New York city in the towers and on the ground, 125 at the pentagon. All deaths in the attacks were civilian except for 55 military personnel killed at the pentagon.."

The 9/11 attacks made an immediate impact to the Americans and also to the world. People went out to there homes to help in rescuing. Vigils around the world were made. Leaders around the globe condemned the attacked. But the incident increases the tension of Muslim and non-Muslim around the world.  Significantly after the attack all countries across the world are into the combat of terrorism which includes the Philippines.  

10 years after, I can say that USA or the MIGHTY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA has recovered in terms of damage and integrity. Also we must not forget the scars left to the family of the victims ( civilians, rescuers , military) until this day they are still wishing that 9/11 attacks didn't exist and thus their love ones are still alive living with them.

''On the day of the attacks, New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani proclaimed, ''we will rebuild. We're going to come ot this stronger than before, politically stronger,economically stronger. The skyline will be made whole again'' 

Remembering 9/11

the world trade center

the first plane

As we commemorate the 9/11. Lets not forget the victims of the attacks, the rescuers who were there since day one of the attack and also to the military who fought for Justice. Its amazing how the family of the victims moved on from that tragic black 9/11. Lets give the credit to the American Government which they supported the family of the victims financially and emotionally.Today is a moment of prayer. A moment  of remembering 9/11.

''On every anniversary, in the New York, the names of the victims who died there are read out against a backround of somber music. the President of the United States of  America also attends a memorial service at pentagon.''

Two beams of light represent the former twin towers of the World Trade Center during the 2004 memorial of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
