Flintstones' 50th Anniversary Celebrated by Google Doodle

Today is the 50th anniversary of The Flintstones. The Flintstones is a popular American animated series that ran for 6 years on ABC. The Flintstones is produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. Characters include Fred, Wilma, Pebbles, Dino, Baby Puss and Doozy.

The Flintstones has contributed a lot in the popular culture. Remember Flintstones Chewable Vitamins? The ones that are shaped like The Flintstones characters and come in different fruit flavors like grapes and orange? That product is still sold by Bayer up to this day. The Screaming Blue Messiahs had a song called I Wanna Be a Flintstone on their album Bikini Red. In January 2009, IGN named The Flintstones as the ninth best in its "Top 100 Animated TV Shows".

Google's Flintstones' 50th logo

As a commemoration of Flintstones' 50 years today, September 30, Google page changed its logo to Flintstones.

Happy 50th Anniversary to The Flintstones! Yaba-Daba DOO!

Mara Clara Remake Stars Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes

Remember Mara Clara? Yup, that telenovela that ran for 5 years that starred Judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes. ABS-CBN is going to do a remake!

The Mara Clara Remake will star Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes. Kathryn was the one who portrayed the role of young Jenny (Marian Rivera)in Endless Love (GMA) and the young Victoria/Anna (Gretchen Barreto) in Magkaribal.

Julia Montes was formerly known as Mara Montes, a Goin' Bulilit graduate and star of movies Caregiver (with Sharon Cuneta) and T2 (with Maricel Soriano). She was given a new screen name because she is portraying Clara and not Mara and ABS-CBN won't want to have any confusions about that.

My lola will be very happy with this Mara Clara remake! I just hope that this time, it will run for just 5 months instead of 5 years.

Explosion Rocks the Bar Exams

At least 24 persons were injured when the explosion that rocked the De LaSalle University in Taft Avenue late afternoon. Vice Mayor Isko Moreno, who came to the scene and talked to the investigators, said the bar exams traditionally had unruly street celebrations.

“But this is extreme. The students have become adventurous and they don’t seem to realize that this isn't what their parents want for them,” he told the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Authorities say the explosive was likely from a pillbox, but it was unusual considering the gravity of the impact and the number of injured.

Victims brought to the Ospital ng Maynila were identified by the hospital’s Trauma Surgery Division as Joanna Katrina Ledda, Arvin Francis Rosales, Philip Edwin Teelo, Gennilyn Ong, Cyril Ferrer, Kathleen Samba, Azenith Gonzalvo, Jamell Ann Marie and Renald Sudla.

The nine others at the PGH were identified by the hospital’s spokesman, Dr. Michael Tee, as Raissa Laurel, 23; Diana Espiritu, 28; Claudine Abrogena, 21; Datu Mohammad Abdul, 23; Generson Mercado, 25; Milanes Rainier, 24; Eunice Abdon, 23; Diane Camita, 23; and Donelle Quilates, 28.

Mariel-Robin Baguio Wedding Confirmed (Photo)

It has been a whirlwind romance for couple Mariel Rodriguez and Robin Padilla. But as the saying goes "pagkahaba-haba man ng prusisyon, sa simbahan din ang tuloy" (or rather, maikli man ang prusisyon), the couple ended their story with a happily ever after.

Mariel and Robin tied the knot in an official Igorot wedding officiated by Jimmy Ong, a mambunong, or Ibaloi priest. Like any other Igorot weddings, Padilla and Rodriguez drank rice wine and danced Tayao, a native Ibaloi dance, to symbolize their love for each other.

Robin's youngest son, Ali, was also there during the ceremony.

The celebrity couple again got married in a ceremony officiated by a pastor.

Here's a photo of Mariel and Robin during the Ibaloi wedding.

Free Globe Tattoo Internet Connection Using CPROXY

I never thought this was possible until I learned this trick from a cousin who's a Computer Engineering student. His Internet connection is provided by Globe Tattoo Broadband, but he said he's not spending a single cent aside from the P1 load he maintains in his account. So, how did he do it? How can we have free Globe Tattoo Connection using CPROXY? It's not really that easy, but if you follow these steps correctly, you might get free internet connection!

Step-by-step guide for free Globe Tattoo Connection using CPROXY:

1. Go to cproxy.com

2. Follow steps 1 and 2. (That's download and register)

3. Check your mail for confirmation and username/password.

4. Run your downloaded application and enter the given username and password.

5. Open your browser then change its proxy configuration.
For Firefox go to: Tools--  Options-- advanced-- network-- settings

6. In the Configure Proxies to Access the Internet, choose the Manual Proxy Configuration, then fill up the following with these:

http proxy:127.0.0.1     port: 3128 

ssl proxy:  127.0.0.1     port: 3128 

socks host:127.0.0.1     port: 9000

Other settings should be empty.

On my next post, I will give you the step-by-step guide on creating multiple free CPROXY accounts that you can use to register for free unlimited use of Globe Tattoo.

I have a post about another Globe Tattoo Hack, but this one here is the easier one.

*Note: This trick was working with SmartBro Prepaid, but I guess that thing was already patched.

You'll Always Be My Number One (Idol Theme Song Lyrics)
by Sarah Geronimo
for ABS-CBN's Idol

I knew the day I met you I’d really fall and love you.
And I could never resist that charm.
And since the day I met you,
I truly fallin’ to love you with all of my life.

You’ll always be my number one.
You’ll always be the one I love.
The one I love, the rest of my life forever.
Till the end of time.
You’ll always be my number one.

They tell you about it, everybody knows it.
Everybody knows just how much I need for you my darling
Feel the loving, feel the hugging
Eagerly the feeling is screaming about it.

You’ll always be my number one.
You’ll always be the one I love.
The one I love, the rest of my life forever.
Till the end of time.
You’ll always be my number one.

I knew the day I met you I’d really fall and love you.
And I could never resist that charm.
And since the day I met you,
I truly fallin’ to love you with all of my life.

You’ll always be my number one.
You’ll always be the one I love.
The one I love, the rest of my life forever.
Till the end of time.
You’ll always be my number one

You’ll always be my number one.
You’ll always be the one I love.
The one I love, the rest of my life forever.
Till the end of time.
You’ll always be my number one.

They tell you about it, everybody knows it.
Everybody knows just how much I need for you my darling
Feel the loving, feel the hugging
Eagerly the feeling is screaming about it.

You’ll always be my number one.
You’ll always be the one I love.
The one I love, the rest of my life forever.
Till the end of time.
You’ll always be my number one.

I knew the day I met you I’d really fall and love you.
And I could never resist that charm.
And since the day I met you,
I truly fallin’ to love you with all of my life.

You’ll always be my number one.
You’ll always be the one I love.
The one I love, the rest of my life forever.
Till the end of time.
You’ll always be my number one
