Jed Madela: The Voice Press Con




August 14, 2009. After dropping the iLearners Inc. Papers at Atty. Ethelbert's Office, Edd, Greg and I were in a hurry to Pino Restaurant Lahug, battling the heavy traffic that day, for Jed Medela's Press Con to cover for CBS(Doyzkie) and ABS CBN(Greg).



When Jed arrived at Pino, Kara had interviewed him for ABS CBN News. The Prescon then started and the usual question and answer drill commenced.


Cebu is Jed Medela's choice to do his first ever solo concert because Cebu had applauded and praised him during the Diva Concert which he guested and performed and considering that Cebu has impeccable taste in music, it would be a good training ground for him to better and improve his skills as a singing artist.


He also mentioned that he wants to focus on singing first and not venture in acting just yet, because he wants to perfect his acting skills before he goes acting.


Jed is from Iloilo and and draws inspiration from his family, God and his Fans. His favorite artist was the late Luther Vandross because he was a great performer yet he does not care what he looks like and was just a very cool person.


Jed stays authentic and down to earth by surrounding himself with good people and friends.


Lovelife? He wants to focus on his career first.


And Yeah, my question to Jed was what's his favorite food. He said he loves chicken! Chicken Skin and any chicken dish. And he even eats at Larsians! He said he never misses to eat there when he is in Cebu. : )

The obligatory shots! LOL

Filipino's Symbol of Hope: Cory Aquino



1st of August 2009, 6am in the morning, my CBS friends and I were waiting for the vans who would drive us to Sumilon Drop off point in Oslob for our Sumilon Adventure, Atty. Ethelbert and Greg texted me that our former president Cory Aquino passed away. It's quite sad to loose a person who has been a symbol of hope and peace for Filipinos, specially in our country today who has been sickened with corruption and is getting worse!


After our VUDU- oke Tuesday Party, we offered our prayers and lit some candles for our former President Cory Auino. We may have lost a person who have given the Filipinos hope for change but her memories will live on in every Filipino.

She has brought the country together more than ones, and now the country has been brought back together and sending a message for us Filipinos to be strong & be united, for these would bring us hope to bring change for the good of our country.

Get Hot, on the Spot: Sm Northwing Free Wifi Launch



Got to love SM City Cebu more for launching their free WiFi Service at The Northwing and Cyberzone. Free Wifi service started on July 31, 2009 for The Northwing and Cyberzone and Mallwide Wifi Coverage on August 4, 2009.


Nikki Taylor spinned some music to start the Wifi Launch and then followed by a Reggae Band.


Cebu organizations like Cebu Bloggers Society and PSP Cebu supported the launch and enjoyed up to as much at 8mbps of Free WiFi Service. A PSP and a mobile phone were raffled off and the winners of the photoblog contest were also announced. To Sinjin and Jose, both CBS members, congratulations for winning the first and second prizes for the Photoblog contest who were awarded an HP Notebook for the first place and a mobile phone for the second place.


This strategic move by SM would create more traffic to the mall, since most Filipinos would always want to stay online and be socially active online.


Medical & Law students would definitely love this Free WiFi connection for them to be able to research and study even while inside the mall.









Gamers would also be enjoying this new SM service, enjoying endless versus battles on PSPs or even Farmtown on Facebook!



So bring your WiFi enabled devices and enjoy the Free SM WiFi Service now!
