The Clash of the Best
February 9, 2010
It was the third time that my cousin who was a graduate of October 2007 has taken the Nursing Licensure Board Exam. And, he can finally celebrate for passing it with an average score of 81.2. He said that this is the result of hard work and the magic of review centers.
Since year 2001, there was an enormous increase in the population of nursing students in the country. Even, foreign students would even prefer to study Nursing here than in their own country. And so the competition among Nursing colleges and Universities became intense as to cope with the increasing demand for nurses. Percentage passing rate serves as the verdict for the deans and the college’s quality education and top notchers whether in the top 10 or top 20 are becoming the free endorsers of the school. In the flow of these issues came along the popularity of review centers who keep promising a 99.9% passing and a quality instructors who were authors of books or with PhD degrees etc etc. I’ve listed some of the famous review centers for nurses and their founders.
ASCEND - Trinidad Ignacio RM RN MAN
RA Gapuz Review Center - Ray A. Gapuz RN MAN
Review University for Nurses (RUN) -
Sultan Review Group (SRG) -Edmund Sultan
Marlon Ray Labagnoy Review Center (MRLRC) - Marlon Ray Labagnoy
Merge - Dervid S. Jungco RN USRN, and others.
Carl Balita Revie Center - Dr. Carl Balita
Who should be featured in the next Twilight Movie?
December 9, 2009
Twilight saga movies are not the kind vampire films that can be classified as artistic or horror thriller or even suspense. It is obviously a fantasy movie in the contemporary set. Twilight’s popularity seems to hit the interest of people around the world but also have annoyed many people probably because of its exaggeration with the beautiful image of the actors (which are also mentioned in the film) rather than focusing on the storyline. It also happened in some book-based (and even cartoon/anime based) movies not just in twilight.
However, the success of the movie upheavals not only the popularity of the author and the book but also the actors who played the major roles in the movie namely Rob Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and many more. If the producers of the film stick to the story in the next twilight movie, Eclipse, then they needed to find more actors for the remaining roles.
Here are the names of the actors I would love to see as a vampire.
1. Adam Lambert
Sexuality preference is not an issue among vampires, so why not Adam Lambert. I mean, he’s hot and he looks good in gothic outfits as shown in his stage performances and even in his latest music video. He can be a really playful sexy vampire.
2. Rain [Bi]
Ninja Assasin’s converting into a Vampire. Why not? All the options in the checklist of being a vampire is filled out completely when it comes to Rain: extremely beautiful (just look at Ninja Assasin), with great moves (he’s a pro dancer and of course he’s fast), and he build MBLAQ, a kpop boy band, with a vampire theme.
[The possibility is] If Rain would be part of Twilight, his popularity will surely double up and this can be a door to make kpop groups easily enter the Hollywood arena.
3. Javier Bardem
You might not know him, but he’s the psychotic-killer in the movie “No Country for Old Men”. He might not be the best looking man or has the sexiest body in the world but if you watched the movie mentioned above you might figure that he can be a scary scary vampire and I think his presence could spice up the suspense in the movie.
4. john abraham
He’s been the sexiest man in the world and probably now the most popular man in India after Gandhi (just kidding*). He’s multi-lingual which is important in being a vampire!
5. Ed Westwick
Of course! The playboy of gossip girl would not be left out among the rules of the art of seduction. He has the best tactic in trying to cover that accent as show in gossip girl. The way he speaks sounded like the devil trying to temp a person to commit a deadly sin.
Julius Babao looks like Mayor Ampatuan?
December 8, 2009Oh this is new!
I suddenly found my self laughing at something I just observed. Since the incident in Maguindanao happened, it seems that other headline news like Hayden Kho’s another suicide attempt or Rain Bi’s Ninja Assassin etc etc have not been so striking anymore. Showbiz news supposed to make viewers take in a little breath from all the bad news about crimes and political clash and calamities around the word, but for a while its dose must have faded off
But, then there’s something I can’t really get over with when my father, a Muslim, said that Julius Babao looks like Mayor Ampatuan, everyone in the house with their brows all creased up and fingernails were all wet withsaliva suddenly scratched their heads and started laughing.
I can’t really say, my father has upgraded his eyeglasses.
Siblings in K-Pop
December 5, 2009After the released of their debut song”Oh Yeah” a lot of fans were thrilled of the new pop sensation, MBLAQ [Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality], especially when one cute member can speak Filipino…=3
Don’t be surprise,Thunder isn’t a full or even half-blood Filipino, he is the younger brother of former SCQ talent Sandara Park who is now member of 2NE1. Real name, Sang Hyun Park, Chun Doong also known as Thunder is a 19 year old trainee of Leon before he transfered to J-tunes to replace Saeng Bae (wiki). When I first heard this I told my self “What!!! The shy boy with Sandy’s parents who all walked on the stage when Sandara won 1st runner up!!! Is competing with his sister?”
Well, I don’t think this the fact that one of MBLAQ’s memberis connected to the top-rated pop group 2NE1 will be a negative factor, I think it simply made the scenario more interesting. Now, we’re not just monitoring girl groups…we’re shifting gear to check whether what group would clash with our MBLAQ….

I think this group differ from others because of their unique combination of members from different cultures that may effect their set of fans and thus they may make music that will keep these fans continuously be interested. But, I can’t really predict what will happen to the other groups. Will this new group stand long?
It’s really a war! As what the site yeinjee.com/tag/
fx-korean-group/ says, “The Koreans might be liking it anyway… and there’s always room to improve and evolve for these teenage pop groups if it doesn’t work out at the beginning.“
