The Iphone 5

The Design :

When we envisioned the new iPhone, we landed on a remarkably thin and light design. But it’s nearly impossible to make a device so thin and so light without sacrificing features or performance.

We could have taken the easy way out and designed something more reasonable and less remarkable. But we didn’t. If the technology didn’t exist, we invented it. If a component wasn’t small enough, we re-imagined it. If convention was standing in the way, we left it behind. The result is iPhone 5: the thinnest, lightest, fastest iPhone ever.

iPhone 5 is just 7.6 millimeters thin. To make that happen, Apple engineers had to think small, component by component. They created a nano-SIM card, which is 44 percent smaller than a micro-SIM. They also developed a unique cellular solution for iPhone 5. The conventional approach to building LTE into a world phone uses two chips — one for voice, one for data. On iPhone 5, both are on a single chip. The intelligent, reversible Lightning connector is 80 percent smaller than the 30-pin connector. The 8MP iSight camera has even more features — like panorama and dynamic low-light mode — yet it’s 25 percent smaller. And the new A6 chip is up to 2x faster than the A5 chip but 22 percent smaller. Even with so much inside, iPhone 5 is 20 percent lighter and 18 percent thinner than iPhone 4S.

Dec.21.2012 - End Of The World?

End Of The World?

One theory suggests a galactic alignment which would create chaos on Earth because of the gravitational effect between the Sun and the Black hole called Sagittarius A, which is located at the center of our galaxy.

Another theory involves a 'polar shift', which means a reversal of the north and south magnetic poles.

Scientists believe that the Earth is overdue for a geomagnetic reversal. However, this can take up to 5,000 years to complete and does not start on any particular date.

No planetary alignment

In response to theories about planetary alignments leading to an apocalypse on Earth on December 21, 2012, scientists say no planetary alignments is likely to occur in the next few decades. And even if they did, the effects on our planet would be negligible.

NASA scientists also claim that the 'polar shift' theory is totally impossible. Although continents move slowly throughout time, a magnetic reversal is very unlikely to happen in the next few millennia and would not cause any harm to life on Earth.

The scientists' conclusion is that the end of the Mayan calendar does not imply the end of the world, only the end of the Mayan long-count period. The 'long count' is a part of the Maya calendar shaped like a wheel. When we reach the end of the wheel, it will turn to the beginning again, just like our modern Gregorian calendar starts again every January 1.

-My Thoughts

At the end of the day, we must pray. Thank God this didn't happen. we have a God and he'll protect and save us from harm so enjoy life.

Miss Philippines Janine Tugonon - 1st Runner up , Miss Universe 2012

Manila Philippines - Miss USA Olivia Culpo took home the Miss Universe 2012 crown in a Christmas-themed pageant that took place at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Miss Philippines Janine Tugonon was 1st runner up, Venezuela was 2nd, Australia 3rd, and Brazil 4th.

This is the Philippines' best finish since Miriam Quiambao in 1999. It is also the 3rd consecutive year that a Filipina has made the Miss Universe Top 5. In 2010 Venus Raj was 4th runner up and in 2011 Shamcey Supsup was 3rd runner up.

Responding to a question by Nigel Barker sent in via Twitter, Tugonon was asked, "As an international ambassador, do you believe that speaking English is a prerequisite to be Miss Universe?"

Her answer, "For me Miss Universe is not about being able to speak a specific language, it's about being able to influence and inspire other people. No matter what language you speak, as long as you have the heart and a strong mind, you can become Miss Universe."  - source (www.rappler.com)

-My Thoughts

Miss Philippines Janine Tugonon has been one of the favorites in the Miss Universe pageant since the rehearsals. the judges and the organizers have seen the true spirit in Janine. In the pageant, the Filipinos never failed to support her. 

"Kinabahan ako dahil ang tagal kong tinawag sa top 10" - "I was nervous because I was called to the top ten last" -she said in one of her interviews. One of her weapons for the pageant is her phenomenal - Cobra walk. It is the successor of last year's Miss Philippines Shamcey Supsup's Tsunami walk. She walked elegantly, with grace, passion and with the spirit of the Filipino. 

"Her Face is to die for gorgeous. And her walk is amazing. She never looks down." -said one of the presentors of the pageant. She looked gorgeous in her swimsuit. though she have mentioned in one of the interviews that she struggled with the shoes because they were too loose for her feet. 

She was called for the top 5 and looked gorgeous in her fabulous blue gown for the final walk. She did well in the question and answer portion which recieved a lot of praises and finished 1st runner up. 

The filipino people were happy at the same time sad that janine only finished 1st runner up.. but Janine always says in her interviews that the filipino must be happy. because it's another honor and pride brought to the PHILIPPINES . There were some tweets i read that said that it is a homecourt advantage for the U.S. but nevertheless, it is a filipino pride and the Filipinos are very proud of JANINE.

The Synopsis :

Bernice (Vice Ganda) & Detty (Ai-Ai Delas Alas) are half siblings who have been separated during childhood but crossed each other's paths again. Detty’s wealthy family refused to extend any help Bernice’s family due to the revelation of the patriarch's infidelity. Years later, Bernice has become a wealthy and successful businessman dubbed as "the lord of apparels". But his abrasive personality and rudeness to co-workers has led to the resignation of his 374th assistant. This loss prompts his company to look for the new assistant and incidentally, Detty, who badly needs a job, walks into the building. Realizing that he is hiring his half-sister, Bernice accepts Detty as his executive assistant without Detty knowing the truth. For Detty, the job is for her daughters. But for Bernice, it’s payback time.

Meanwhile, the main rival of Bernice’s company is currently posing as very strong competition. Headed by the eccentric yet equally brilliant & talented Roselle (Kris Aquino) the contention gets tougher, and a string of events lead to the two company heads fighting over the once expendable Detty.
