My 2012 Top 20 best twitter accounts (not to include the celebrities)

This will be my fourth year in twitter, for the past two years I have been active in tweeting.  Here's my account @akolasalista ,come and follow me ( if you like, if not its okay! ha-ha-ha). Four years in tweeting and yeah I'm not quite here on twitter because I've tweeted nearly 40 000 times. Recently I have 3 100 followers and  still counting ( wish I'm a celebrity to have millions ha-ha-ha)

This is one of the reasons why my blog got 16 088  total page views:

Last year's blog entry my 2011 top 20 list  base on the audience tract and top traffic sources my entry got 9 000 views and still counting so I decided to make a list again this 2012.

In deed, its more fun in the Philippines!

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.

I must say it is funny,and interesting. Currently it has 683 900 hits and counting still.

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.

SA IBABA PO AY MGA MGA LINK KUNG GUSTO NIYONG TUMULUNG AT MAG BIGAY NG DONASYON:

Our Mother

I was formally introduced to her when I was in  level one (kindergarten ) at La Salle way back 1992. So everytime September strike the school calendar, we were tasked to make a personalized birthday card to her as a greetings and offer it to her at the school chapel;we were doing that every 8th of September. I was young then all I know that she is the mother of our savior Jesus Christ. 

''In the Fullness of Time, God sent His son, born of a virgin.'' 

The Queen

This is based on the scripture were roman catholic venerated mother Mary . She is also called St. Mary, mother of Jesus, the virgin Mary, blessed virgin Mary, our mother Mary , the mother of God and  The Queen of heaven and earth. These are just the few of the many titles that most of us call her. 

Mama Mary

I personally call her Mama Mary. She probably knows all my problems and even secrets! I got to share with her what I can't share to my biological mother .I don't know why I felt the relieved every time I talked to her in a prayer. She is our mother and my mother who always listen and comfort us even despite of our sinfulness. Indeed a mother. 

Mother Of Christ 

Mary and baby Jesus

She played a very Important role of Jesus while he was on earth. "from womb to tomb".  She was there at the very first miracle that Jesus did at the Wedding of Cana where she suggested to make water to wine. Also Mary is present during the crucifixion and death of her son Jesus Christ. 

Give her the right credits

Mother Mary

Tomorrow will be her special day, the nativity of Mary. So few minutes/hours of our personal time is enough to honor her right? Im encouraging you to go to the church and offer her flowers. If you can do, it can take 30 minutes to say a rosary to greet her on this special day. And If im not mistaken all churches will offer her a special mass. Be there and hear the mass. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA MARY!

True Value of a Filipino: The Madrigal Siblings

the madrigal siblings

Ako ay isang Pilipino! I am a Filipino! That was I felt during the performance of The Madrigal Siblings during the Grand Finals of Pilipinas Got Talent season two( a franchise of got Talent). Great performance from a Filipino! I was astonished on how they sang and interpreted the song Bayan Ko ( "My country") and Magkaisa ( lets Unite) . They sang it with dignity and pride! The combine powerful voices of The Madrigal siblings are truly world class!

They should have won the competition or even be part of the top three finalists but unfortunately they got 3.68 Percentage of the total vote making them to the ninth place. :( The people decided and voted for Marcelito Pompoy's rendetion of "The prayer" ( a guy who have a feminine/woman voice)

But Nevertheless, The madrigal Siblings make me proud that I am a Filipino in thoughts, in words and in deeds! The madrigal siblings ay isang huwaran at ipindama nila sa atin na tayo ay isang tunay na PILIPINO sa isip, salita at sa gawa!

Here is their Grand final Piece at Pilipinas Got Talent:

ang bayan ko

Ang bayan kong Pilipinas
Lupain ng ginto't bulaklak
Pag-ibig na sa kanyang palad
Nag-alay ng ganda't dilag


At sa kanyang yumi at ganda
Dayuhan ay nahalina
Bayan ko, binihag ka
Nasadlak

sa dusa


CHORUS
Ibon mang may layang lumipad
Kulungin mo at umiiyak
Bayan pa kayang sakdal-dilag
Ang 'di magnasang makaalpas

Pilipinas kong minumutya

Pugad ng luha at dalita
Aking adhika
Makita kang sakdal laya

Magakaisa

Ngayon ganap ang hirap sa mundo
Unawa ang kailangan ng tao
Ang pagmamahal sa kapwa'y ilaan
Isa lang ang ugat na ating pinagmulan
Tayong lahat ay magkakalahi
Sa unos at agos ay huwag padadala
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/v/virna_lisa/magkaisa.html ]
Chorus
Panahon na (may pag-asa kang matatanaw)
Ng pagkakaisa (bagong umaga, bagong araw)
Kahit ito (sa atin Siya'y nagmamahal)
Ay hirap at dusa
Magkaisa (may pag-asa kang matatanaw)
At magsama (bagong umaga, bagong araw)
Kapit-kamay (sa atin Siya'y nagmamahal)
Sa bagong pag-asa

Ngayon may pag-asang natatanaw
May bagong araw, bagong umaga
Pagmamahal ng Diyos, isipin mo tuwina

(Repeat Chorus)
Magkaisa (may pag-asa kang matatanaw)
At magsama (bagong umaga, bagong araw)
Kapit-kamay (sa atin Siya'y nagmamahal)
Sa bagong pag-asa
