Another Scam On Wowowee?

Wowowee is a variety game show for children and adults hosted by Willie Revillame (Papi) who brought fun and excitement for most local viewers including “The Filipino Channel” (TFC) subscribers in some other countries. The noontime show helped a lot of people even though Papi gives sometimes a little insensitivity in his jokes.

Despite of those words stated above, it created a lot of controversies that shocked most of the Filipinos who watched the show daily. It was first a stampede broke out on February 4, 2006. The root of the mad dash was closing the PhilSports Complex gates by the security. The people who can not get their tickets for the show rushed and panicked to enter the gates. It was reported that 74 people died and hundreds were injured. That was the most shocking accident happened in the whole history of Philippine television.

Another scandalous event happened last August 20, 2007, in their new segment called Wilyonaryo. There are two sets of films on the contraption, but Papi pulled the wrong film which displayed "0" instead of the right film, where the number 2 is detached from the contraption showing a second winning combination. There is something fishy happened in the game portion. Here’s the video if you’re unable to watch the details.

Lately, a new Wowowee scam has been uploaded in www.youtube.com. It’s for you to decide whether this show is a scam or not. Here's the clip:

DOTA 6.49b Anti Map Hack Version

Good news to all anti map-hackers, PandaMine had designed an Anti Maphack Engine for DotA 6.49b. He fixed the replay desync bug, made various improvements and cinematic mode has been removed. Implementing this version will now cease the maphackers and bring back the game into an absolute strategic and fair game. I hope that this map will be recognized by the authors of the original DotA Allstars map and be encouraged to release the official AMH (Anti Maphack) version in its official website.

Because of this map hacking epidemic, I used to play some other games in Warcraft like TD (Tower Defense) maps instead of playing latest map versions of DotA. However, I discovered last week that AMH map version has been released. It will detect any maphacking software for the entire game and automatically kicks you out of the game if spotted using maphack. As soon as the game had started, it will pause at around 60 to 90 seconds. The content is still original done by IceFrog and you can download it through this link:

It feels great to win the game if fairly and honestly played.

"Sometimes We Win, Sometimes We Lose"

Musical competition happens every year especially in the month of December for the celebration of Christmas. Most Filipino people are naturally born as music lover; thus, filipino singers as well as non-singers, never misses any spot of such happenings. Bunch of surprises and big cash prizes will be given for those participants who will win the contest – vocal solo, choir, instrumental band, and dance group.

When I was at my younger age, I used to join this kind of contest even if it’s not Christmas like NCCC’s Star of Davao, “Singgit Davao”, “Kantahan sa Baranggay” and other school festival. I even tried auditioning Philippine Idol but I didn’t have the chance because of the long line. Tonight, I’ll be joining another contest and I’ll be singing, “Sana Ngayong Pasko” which was originally sang by Ariel Rivera. I really love the melody and lyrcs of this whole song since my childhood. Last year I sang “Christmas Won’t Be the Same Without You”, originally sang by Martin Nievera. I didn’t win the trophy; however, I’m still happy for I ranked 2nd place and got a prize. The contest is one of the projects of Davao City Mayor, Hon. Rodrigo Duterte.

If I lose tonight, I just think the of philosophy saying, “Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, and sometimes the game gets rained out.” Yet, I still try to think positive to win the contest.

Christmas or "X-mas"

Christmas is a time of happiness and celebration - a blend of joyful moments to share and celebrate with family, friends and special someone. Scenes like carol singing, Santa Claus riding on a sleigh, stockings on the wall, pine tree decorating, card greetings, baking delicious foods, parties everywhere, snowflakes falling, lights flickering, and giving of gifts are all typical traditions that have been passed down through the years.

With all those things happening during December, there’s one thing always bothers me. Why use “X-mas” instead of Christmas? I am worried that the world might be starting to forget Jesus Christ. As I searched through the internet, “Xmas” is not originally an attempt to eliminate Christ from Christmas, but uses an abbreviation of the Greek spelling of the word “Christ” with the “X” representing the Greek letter chi. However, few people know this that it is probably better not to use this popular abbreviation. Future generations might wonder why “X” instead of Christ. Is there a tendency that they will forget the true meaning of Christmas in the future because of “X”?

There’s nothing wrong if you had already knew the reason why they use “X-mas”. What about for those who haven’t known the truth yet? Let’s just get rid of X! Jesus Christ is the main reason why we celebrate Christmas. He was born on earth because He loves us and sacrifices His life for all our sins.

Advance Merry Christmas!
