Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, rakes $201 Million in 5 days
The much awaited Transformers' sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, has raked in $201 Million in just 5 days. This is the second largest box office records payout since Batman sequel 'The Dark Knight' which stars Heath Ledger as the Joker and Christian Bale as Batman. This behemoth upstart by the iconic robots has smashed the top box office hits in Hollywood. There are those moviegoers who said that the story of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was a bit simplistic, but the battle scenes were simply astounding to say the least. The 2 and a half hour action packed movie will surely entertain most of the kids and action seeking adventurous movie goers, but it would almost certainly disappoint critics who are seeking more substance on the movie's story telling part. Nonetheless, this movie is truly a treat especially to the Transformers enthusiast because this movie introduced many new characters and more juggernaut robots.
Here are the list of this weekend's top 10 Box Office Records from Hollywood:
1. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen ($112 M)
2. The Proposal ($18.466 M)
3. The Hangover ($17.215 M)
4. Up ($13.046 M)
5. My Sister's Keeper ($12.03 M)
6. Year One ($5.8 M)
7. The Taking of Pelham 123 ($5.4 M)
8. StarTrek ($3.606 M)
9. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian ($3.5 M)
10. Away We Go ($1.678 M)

Sunday Reflection: Jesus said, "Do not be afraid; just have faith"
GOSPEL (Mk 5:21-43)
When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him, and he stayed close to the lake. One of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, came forward. Seeing Him he fell at his feet an pleaded earnestly with Him, saying, "My daughter is at the point of death. Please, come lay your hands on her hands on her that she may get well and live." He went off with Him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed upon Him.
There was a woman afflicte with hemorrhages for twelve years. She had suffered greatly at the hands of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet she was not helped but only grew worse. She had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak. She said, "If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured." Immediately her flow of blood dried up. She felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
Jesus, aware at once that power had gone out from Him, turned around in the crowd and asked. "Who has touched my clothes?"
But His disciples said to Him, "You see how the crowd is pressing upon you and yet you ask, 'Who touched me?'"
And he looked around to see who had done it. The woman, realizing what had happene to her, approached in fear and trembling. She fell down before Jesus and told Him the whole truth.
He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction."
While He was still speaking, people from the synagogue official's house arrived and said, "Your daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any longer?"
Disregarding the message that was reported, Jesus said to the synagogue official, "Do not be afraid; just have faith." He did not allow anyone to accompany Him inside except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
When they arrived at the house of the synagogue official, He caught sight of a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. So he went in and said to them, "Why this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep." And they ridiculed Him. Then He put them all out. He took along the child's father and mother and those who were with Him and entered the room where the child was.
He took the child by the hand and said to her. "Talitha koum," which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise!" The girl, a child of twelve, arose immediately and walked around. At that they were utterly astounded. He gave strict orders that no one should know this and said thats she should be given something to eat.
REFLECTION: In this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus emphasized the power of faith and that nothing is impossible with God. He cured two people in this Gospel. First is a woman with severe hemorrhages, which has been troubling the woman for twelve years. This woman has heard of the miraculous works of Jesus and has said to herself that if only she could touch the clothes of Jesus then she could be cured. Jesus then said to the woman that her faith has cured her. In this statement from Jesus, He could have acknowledged His healing power being responsible for the cure of the woman, but He opted to say that her faith was the one that cured her. The second miracle that Jesus showed in this Gospel is when He raised from the dead a little girl who the people were saying was already dead. Jesus told those who were weeping for the little girl's death, to be not afraid and have faith. This is a very powerful statement coming from Jesus. It gives us the assurance that God will do everything if only we have the firm faith in Him. We should never lose faith amidst the trials and tribulations that we are facing in our life. But we should always put in our mind that we should not panic and do not be afraid to face all our problems because if we have faith then nothing is too impossible for God who has power over all things.

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, Passed Away at 50
Michael Jackson has been the artist that contributed largely to the music industry through his countless hits during the 80's and 90's. Hits like 'Thriller', 'Billy Jean', 'Bad', 'Ben' has captured the hearts of his heard of fans across the globe. I still remember when he held a concert here in the Philippines. His voice and dancing prowess just exemplifies him as an artist. His legacy and image was tarnished though with numerous controversies and media frenzies for his alleged acts of lasciviousness with boys whom he invited at his mansions. I guess his life and legacy will forever mark the music industry which he once contributed for over two decades. May the people judge him for his great contributions to the music industry and not make any frenzy over his alleged involvement with acts of lasciviousness and his numerous physical alterations.

King James will get help from Old Superman
ZestAir Plane overshoots a runway at Boracay Airport
ZestAir is a new airline that was an offshoot of the old airline Asian Spirit. There were also many incidents involving the aircrafts of Asian Spirit. But ZestAir has been trying to repackage the airline to a cheap air transportation provider to compete with Cebu Pacific and PAL express. It was reported sometime ago that it has placed an order on A320 aircrafts during the recent air transportation show at France. I hope that ZestAir would also provide appropriate budget in maintenance of their current fleet of aircrafts in order to avoid these accidents.
Feria Weakens to Tropical Depression, but Continue to Suspend Classes!
Storm 'Feria' was downgraded to a Tropical Depression by Pagasa today because it has weakened as it passed the mountainous regions of Batangas and Mindoro. But Pagasa forecasted that it will cause more rains and thunderstorms in the areas of Batangas, Cavite, Mindoro and Metro Manila. So the DepEd, NDCC decided to suspend classes across the Metro in order to avoid having students being stranded. This is good I think because rains and difficulty in transportation could cause illness which could later on be suspected as AH1N1 symptoms. I just hope that Pagasa has correct forecast this time around.

Mga Guro sa Pampublikong paaralan ng San Francisco High School sa QC nagbebenta ng workbooks?
Nagreklamo kamakailan ang aming pinsan na nag-aaral sa pampublikong paaralan ng San Francisco High School sapagkat sila raw ay binebentahan ng workbook ng kanilang mga guro. Noong una ay inakala naming isang gurong sa isang subject lamang ang nagbebenta ng kanyang workbook ngunit naglaon ay lahat pala ng kanilang mga guro ay nagbebenta. Ang halaga ng mga workbook na ito ay 120 pesos hanggang 150 pesos bawat grading period. Kung susumahin parang mas mahal pa ang mga workbook na ito sa mga textbook na binebenta sa mga pribadong paaralan. Sinasabihan na lamang di umano ang mga mag-aaral na magkakaroon sila ng +5 sa kanilang grado sa kard kapag sila ay bumili ng mga workbook na ito. Nakakalungkot sapagkat tila di naman pala sila binibigyan ng paaralan ng kanilang mga textbook mula sa DepEd. Nakakalungkot isipin na marami sa ating mga guro sa mga pampublikong mga paaralan ang nagsasamantala sa kanilang mga mag-aaral. Napakahirap pa naman ito sa mga sa kapus-palad nating mga kababayan na ginagapang ang kanilang mga anak upang makapag-aral lamang. Sana ay mapagbigyang-pansin ito ng mga kinauukulan lalo na ng DepEd at mga opisyal ng tanggapan ng lokal na gobyerno ng lungsod ng Quezon.

May Bakuna na nga ba laban sa trangkasong AH1N1 o Swine Flu?

Grabe na nga at lumalala na ang pagkalat ng kinatatakutang trangkaso na AH1N1 o Swine Flu sa ating bansa. Pati sa mga malalayong pook tulad ng Jaen, Nueva Ecija ay napababalita na ding may mga kaso ng trangkasong AH1N1. Kamakailan ay nagkaroon na nga ng deklarasyon ng pangkomunidad na pagkalat ng nasabing trangkaso sapagkat napakaraming mag-aaral sa elementarya ang nagpakita ng mga simtomas ng trangkaso at pati na din sa mga iba pang mga residente ng naturang lugar ay tila nahawa na din. Sa kamaynilaan naman ay patuloy na dumarami na din ang nag-uulat ng mga kaso ng trangkasong AH1N1. Nandiyan ang siyudad ng Makati na napaulat na may anim na kaso. Sinabi naman ng alkalde ng Makati na gagastusan nila ang pagpapabakuna ng mga empleyado ng tanggapan ng siyudad. Ngunit ang bakunang ito ay pang-ordinaryong trangkaso pa lamang. Sapagkat ang bakuna kontra sa trangkasong AH1N1 ay kasalukuyan pa lamang na sinasailalim sa pagsusulit upang matiyak ang bisa nito. Ang higanteng kumpanyang pang-gamot na Novartis ang unang kumpanya na nakagawa ng nasabing bakuna. Binabalak naman nilang isapubliko ang pagbenta ng nasabing bakuna sa mga susunod na buwan. Ang aking pagdasal lamang ay sana hindi naman gaanong lumala pa ang pagkalat ng kinatatakutang trangkaso at makabili din ang ating gobyerno ng sapat na bilang ng bakuna laban dito upang tuluyan ng mapawi ang pangamba ng mga tao.

Karagdagang 5 Estudyante Pa May AH1N1 (Swine) Flu
Limang estudyante pa ang karagdagang bilang sa mga kumpirmadong may AH1N1 (Swine) Flu ngayon. Nakakatakot na talaga ang mabilis na paglaganap na ito ng kinatatakutang flu virus. Lalo't pati ang mga kabataan at natural na pati ang kanilang mga guro ay maaari na ring mahawaan ng kinatatakutang flu virus. Kailangan ng ibayong pag-iingat lalo na sa mga estudyante at mga guro upang mapaglabanan ang lalo pang malawakang paglaganap ng flu virus na ito. Ayon din sa mga bali-balita, maaaring isang estudyante sa isang pampublikong pang-elementaryang paaralan ang positibo sa nasabing kinatatakutang flu virus. At dahil ang aming paaralan ay nasa Marikina, kinakailangan ng ibayo pang pag-iingat sa pamamagitan ng paghugas ng mga kamay, at pagpapatatag ng resistensiya sa pamamagitan ng mga bitamina at masusustansiyang pagkain.

Unang Araw ng Pasukan

Ika-8 ng Hunyo, kaming mga guro at estudyante ay nagsimula ng pumasok. Bagamat maulan at matrapik ay excited pa din kami. Nagpunta kami sa aming mga takdang seksyon upang gabayan ang mga estudyante sa kanilang unang pagsabak sa pasukan ngayong taong ito. Nagulat ako sa mga babaeng unang pasok pa lamang sa aming paaralan sapagkat di na sila tulad ng mga estudyante dati na mahiyain at di masyado nakikihalobilo sa mga ibang kaklase. Ang mga batang babae sa unang taon ay bibo at palakaibigan na sa kanilang kapwa kaklase. Panay din ang kanilang bati sa mga gurong katulad ko. Mukhang mapapasabak na naman ako ngayong taon. Iba-ibang ugali, iba-ibang kakulitan, iba-ibang antas sa buhay ang mga estudyanteng aking kakaharapin. Ngunit nababatid kong magiging maulan at pagkaraon ay magiging masaya, makulay at maliwanag din ang hinaharap para sa amin.
Spa ng Wellness Masters bukas na!
Ang matagal ng kinakapanabikang negosyo ng aking kumpare at kumare na sina Ava at Oliver ay nagbukas na sa wakas. Sakto namang kumakapal na ang aking mga kalyo sa paa at ilang araw na ring nangangawit sa kalalakad ang mga ito. Kaya't naisip kong pumasyal sa kanilang spa at maglustay ng 175 pesos para sa isang oras na pagmamasahe sa aking mala-sayoteng mga paa. Di ko namalayang ako pala ang kanilang unang customer, ang wish ko lang wag naman sana ako ang huli, hehe, sapagkat alam kong malaki-laking puhunan ang kanilang ginugol dito. Si pareng Oliver pa nga'y nagbakasyon muna sa kanyang trabaho upang matutukan ang negosyong ito. Alam ko namang magiging maswerte ang kanilang anak na si Aver kaya't sana marami pang mga paa ang maglakad at magpamasahe sa mga manang na may minsang malambot at mapwersang mga kamay. Kaya't kung gusto niyo ding mapagbigyan ang hiling ng inyong mga naghihingalong mga paa, braso, likod, ulo at kung anu-ano pang parteng pwedeng masahiin ay pumunta na sa ikalawang palapag ng C&B mall na nasa tapat lang ng aming iskwelahang pinakamamahal na St Scholastica. Hanapin lamang si Ava, Oliver at Aver para sa karampatang diskwento, hehe...
