If Google treat us with Scooby Doo doodle which already passed. Time for us to do our trick or treat.
First let us know the origin of Trick or Treat, according to Wikipedia, the tradition started during the Middle ages. Trick or treat resembles the medieval practice when poor folk visit houses and ask for food prays for the dead in return. Today, trick or treat is very different and more enjoyable to children and adults too. Children asking for a treat would wear a costume and knocks door-to-door, if the house owner likes to treat, they'll give sweets, candies in particularly then the children would call it as treat and move to the next door.
What Time does trick or treat start? According to some, kids might go out around 5:00 pm as well as the older children might start at around 8:00 pm.

Well, Hollywood gossips and celebrity rumors never stop.
Bob Ong, who is he? Bob Ong or Roberto Ong is just one of the typical book author here in Philippines but writes in conversational Filipino. In his write ups, he created humorous and reflective depictions of life as a Filipino.
I first saw his book Bakit Baligtad Magbasa ng Libro ang mga Pilipino? () few years ago but never had a chance to read it so I just asked my friend how have the book what's all about the it. Friend simply replied it's all about reality in life particularly us (Filipino) but in so humorous way.The book actual tel about good and of course bad side of being Filipino.
In Goodreads.com, a book reviewer was quoted about his book Bakit Baligtad Magbasa ng Libro ang mga Pilipino?:
"Filipinos really patronize Bob Ong's works because, while most of his books may have an element of comedy in them, this is presented in a manner that replicates Filipino culture and traditions. This is likely the reason why his first book - and those that followed it, can be considered true Pinoy classics."
Anyway, why did I came up with this Bob Ong Quotes post? Actually, Ark approached me earlier and told how bout posting about Bob Ong quotes since one of the hottest searches today. Why not? Below is the graph within 30 days of the keyword Bob Ong quotes.
Not really bad at all.
So much for that SEO stuff about Bob Ong quotes. Anyway, here's one of Bob's quote that I have found over the Internet.
Mangarap ka at abutin mo. Wag mong sisihin ang sira mong pamilya, palpak mong syota, pilay mong tuta, o mga lumilipad na ipis. Kung may pagkukulang sa’yo mga magulang mo, pwde kang manisi at maging rebelde. Tumigil ka sa pag-aaral, mag-asawa ka, mag-drugs ka, magpakulay ka ng buhok sa kili-kili. Sa banding huli, ikaw din ang biktima. Rebeldeng walang napatunayan at bait sa sarili.
If we translate the said quote, Dream and achieve it. Don't blame your broken family, your dumb boyfriend/girlfriend, sprained dog or flying cockroach. If your parents have shortcomings on you, you can blame them and be rebel. Stop going to school, get married, use drugs, dye your underarm hairs. In the end, you're the victim. A rebel who have not proven anything and insane.
Ooops that's nose bleeding for me!
Moral lesson of the quote : Perhaps one's dream should not have any hindrance in achieving it. Blaming someone or anyone else will not bring anything at all to you.
Whew! That's really a great Bob Ong quotes and to be honest I belong to a broken family and I should say that's it's really true. If I kept on blaming my parents with what they did, perhaps I haven't finished any degree in college or perhaps I won't be blogging or learned anything about computer at all. Final words, go get to work to achieve your dreams, not later or tomorrow but today!
P.S. I'm thinking of posting a series of Bob Ong quotes here. Sort of reflection and assessment post for me once a month. That's it for today.
You ready for this year's trick and treat? There are lot of things we can do in the coming Halloween special. TV shows will be bombarded with scary shows documentaries and other related stuff. Guess, it's really human's nature to scare themselves.

One of the hottest searches keyword today is Time Traveler Caught On Film, very fascinating yet needs to be proven.
George Clarke the man who posted the video of alleged Time Traveler caught on a film using a device in communicating. Clarke, a extremely passionate by the work of the famous actor and director would like to prove that there are images and a video that show Charlie Chaplin had predicted the invention mobile phone in 1928!
How could that happened? From what I saw in the video, I simply don't believed it. Although, if proven, it will surely be remarkable discovery. Imagine, an invention long believed to be invented in 1979 was already invented 50 years earlier. Well, let's see in the next coming days the result of this speculated time traveler caught on film.
Watch the said video below. The video happened during Charlie Chaplin premiere in 1928. Check out around 6:15 of the video.

Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat, one of the most anticipated match in NBA for this year's playoffs as Dwyane Wade said : "I think the NBA did an unbelievable job of picking a great first game,"
Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat ended the first quarter with a score of MIA : 9 and BOS:16, showed how Miami dominates the first quarter. The entire game was entirely dominated by Boston from the beginning until the end with 88-80 scorecard. Ray Allen leads the Celtics and scored 11 points while Rajon Rondo with only two points but eight assists.
It seems like three superstar players Lebron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh didn't complement or the tandem didn't turned out well. I'm pretty sure Miami Heat's first game it's not the kind of game the three will play in the entire season. I'll expect more than that in the next coming game. The team should really work hard on their offensive strategy.
As Shaquille O'neal joined Boston Celtics, the team somehow gained a huge contribution from the veteran center player. I'm glad Shaq deal at least worked out well.
Shaquille Oneal coming out. Image source: NBA.com
As a fan of Boston Celtics, I'm very glad they won their very first game as this will show if they can make it to the finals once again.
She's All That star Rachael Leigh Cook has been interviewed in Fox news recently as she joined Geena Davis and her Institute on Gender and Media, the Girl Scouts of the USA and The Creative Coalition to fight the Photoshopping and airbrushing of women’s bodies.
"Photoshop Tutorial" should be searched in order to understand how celeb images are manipulated,suggests Cook
Rachel told Fox News :
"I did not grow up getting told about how manipulated the images we see of women and girls out there are, and I think it's an absolute travesty that young women are seeing what the media is feeding them. It breaks my heart to be part of an industry and part of a machine that really pushes out these images and propagates these really terrible standards that are false.
"Nothing that you see is real, even if you look at what looks like a candid photo of someone, anything can be done. It is false advertising and false advertising is a crime so why isn't this a crime? I'm just up in arms about it."
I could agree to Rachael Leigh Cook's said to Fox news, too much photo enhancement and editing is really deceiving and "false advertising". But I guess we should admit that in digital world, anyone can easily alter anything from their look to make it more pleasing in a digital way. I salute Rachael Leigh Cook and her group advocacy againsts Photoshop airbrushing.

Wow! That's all I can say to Glee GQ Photo shoot. I could agree to the parents who can't take the casts are portraying. According to the PTC or The Parents Television Council, “It is disturbing that GQ, which is explicitly written for adult men, is sexualizing the actresses who play high school-aged characters on ‘Glee’ in this way.
Is GQ taking advantage of TV show's audiences and popularity? Or the TV show Glee itself wanted to widen their horizon. Well, the fact that both Lea Michele and Dianna Agron are sexy, I guess there's nothing wrong with the Glee GQ photo shoot. They didn't bared anything at all.
What's your take? Does Glee casts really gone wild?
Hello Bishop Manchester. I would like to ask you what is your opinion of the those that claim to have the gift of healing? One such person that claims to have the ability of healing is a Brazilian named John of God. Do you think there are people today that has the ability to heal? - Ruben H.
João Teixeira de Faria (born 24 June 1942), known also as João de Deus ("John of God"), is a medium and according to himself, a psychic surgeon in Brazil. He is based in Abadiânia, a small town in the state of Goiás, southwest of Brasília. João is not a licensed doctor. He is said to have been so rebellious he was thrown out of school after the second grade and could not keep a job. At sixteen it is claimed the "entity" of King Solomon entered his body, and performed a miraculous healing. For years, João wandered Brazil offering healings. Three decades ago, he took residence in his casa in the plateaus and became known as "John of God."
João Teixeira de Faria
Some people say the healings are just a front - a way to make "John of God" rich. Even though he charges no fee for treatment, João appears to be a wealthy man. He owns a cattle ranch not far from where he sees patients. It comprises more than 1,000 acres. When it was pointed out to João that his town has become a tourist beacon with thousands coming to spend money for herbs and other items, he looked hurt. His eyes turned red and watered. He said he has money but he spends it to pay for food and education for the poor. "I have cattle, but that's not enough to keep the casa," he said. Yet there are rumours that "John of God" has a much darker side. Juliana Almeida Franca, a district attorney who has investigated "John of God," says he sent her death threats - delivered by a relative. João denies this. João has also been accused of taking advantage of a woman who came to be healed. He insisted his healings are legitimate. "You can fool the people for one to two years. But you cannot fool people for 45 years," he protests in his own defence. I do not see in João de Deus a man of God, but rather someone who claims to communicate with spirits of the dead and also someone claiming to be a so-called "psychic surgeon." Such practices are obviously prohibited to Christians and clearly invite charlatanry by those who adopt them.
I do believe in Divine Healing where the healing derives from God, but I do not believe João Teixeira de Faria is such a healer. Far from it. He is a medium and as such his actions are utterly condemned in scripture. Calling himself "John of God," therefore, is blasphemy. He does not represent God. He represents himself and such "spirits" he evokes - assuming he communicates with external entities from the spirit world at all - and these will be from an unknown source.
Divine healing should not be confused with “faith healing” or “spiritual healing.” Divine healing is the effect of the Holy Spirit upon our natural beings. When the sick, suffering and demon possessed touched Our Lord Jesus Christ, virtue went out of Him - the power of the Holy Spirit flowed from the Saviour. Divine healing can be experienced through the following means:
Taylor Swift, one of the pride of country music artists. With her beauty and great voice who would not fell in love with her. Swift became even more popular after Kanye West came up to the stage and make a scene showing his disagreement to the award given to Swift. This year, Kanye West gave his apology and even wrote a song for Swift.
In this Taylor Swift's Speak Now album, she included her respond to Kanye West song to her entitled "Innocent". Is Kanye really Innocent?
Swift's best friend Selena Gomez, whose favorite track in the album "Dear John" gave her testimonial
"Her album is going to be awesome. I think people are gonna be really surprised. It's not different [but] you just don't really believe she could top it, in a way. She took her style and made it bigger. It's going to be really good."
Guess, Taylor Swift's fans are now getting more excited. Swift work hard on this album saying "I've been working on it for two years. Ever since we put out Fearless, I've been writing for this record and conceptualizing it and putting it together in my head as to what I wanted it to be.". I must say, fans will never regret buying this album.
For the complete track listing of Taylor Swift's album Speak Now, here's the list
Last Friday night, Justin Bieber joined a laser tag match and along the match he encountered an aggressive kid who is so let say "mad" at Bieber and referred him as "faggot"
According to TMZ post, during the game the kid keeps on aiming Justin Bieber which is against to the code of honor of laser tag. When Bieber was cornered, the kid was keep on shooting him. Bieber told the said kid "That's enough", the kid responded, "What are you gonna do about it, faggot?"
Bieber told to the kid "Excuse me" the kid then responded "You're a faggot"and put his hand out toward Bieber and Bieber pushed it away as he left.[TMZ]
But according to several reports Bieber never struck the other boy.
Investigation is now going on while the kid's father already filed a complain against Bieber. According to police investigation, fault does not lie with Bieber.
In Glee, there was music of Madonna, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears (also appeared) and of course Lady Gaga. But having country music particularly Taylor Swift will give the show a bit of excitement and attracting even more fans.
The country singer said "There have been conversations," to Zap2It, signaled that fans will be expecting a Taylor Swift's music will be featured in the coming episodes of the show. Though the news was not clear if the singer will appear just like Britney who personally joined the cast of Glee.
What do you think about this? Will this be another hit for both the show and Taylor Swift?
Well, I'm not really sure if Gmail's alert feature is something new or has been around quite a long time.
Earlier, I was replying an email to a friend and I mentioned that I have "attached file" which I sent before the email I am about to reply. After clicking Send, I was prompted with "Did you mean to attach files?", "You wrote "attached files" in your message, but there are no files attached. Send anyway?
At first I thought I've attached a new file and failed but I realized I'm not attaching a file again and so I clicked the Send button again. Then, I was prompted with the message I mentioned above and at that moment I read everything the message said. After reading it I was amazed again with Gmail's features. It's really that simple feature but something that is very functional for regular email users who always mentioned "attached file/s".
So, next time you use your Gmail be sure to try this feature.
Celebrities are indeed models in our life from fashion to actions and even their marriage life.
Just how many couples you know that didn't last? A lot actually including local artists here in Philippines. These are mostly portrayed in movies.
For instance today, according to People's source, someone close to the couple confirmed "Yes they are separated," and also said "Right now they're just trying to figure things out. There are no divorce proceedings at this point."
I guess their relationship is not really working anymore. Added by People's source about months ago "They have their ups and downs like all married couples. They argue like everyone else,"
I hope Christina Aguilera and husband Jordan Bratman will find a way to make themselves happy.
Last month, I posted about an information about Jennifer Grey particularly about her age because it was trending topic on that day. Tonight it the Dancing with The Stars gave the season's top ten and it was dominated by Jennifer Grey. She didn't performed Dirty Dancing but rather Argentine Tango and was declared "a prime-time delight!" by Bruno Tonioli [one of the judges of Dancing with The Stars].
According to ABC news, Jennifer technical score was 27 and then got two 10s and a 9 for her performance. Leading the reality dance show with 56 out of 60.
Jennifer is followed by:
Brandy 48 Audrina 46 Kyle 40 Rick 39 Florence 35 Kurt 34 Bristol 32 The Situation 28
Among the performances, Jersey Shore's Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino was called as the worst one, whose tango was declared "a terrible mess," by Bruno and a "rough ride" by Carrie Ann Inaba.
With Jennifer Grey's score and great performances no doubt she will continue to dominate this year's Dancing With The Stars!
My wife and I has been out of town this week and we happen to see a performance of a certain local dance group for a product exhibit in SM Davao's event center.
It's been four days but the it seems like we've been LSS with Bruno Mars' Just The Way You Are. I've been playing the song on Youtube using Google Chrome over and over again (G. Chrome cached video streams very well) .
Have you noticed today's Google logo or doodle? If you mouse over the image will show the title John Lennon's 70th birthday which will be celebrated on October 9. A great treat for Octoberfest right?
John Lennon's birthday this year will be celebrated with lots of different activities hosted by different groups. There will be concerts, museum, a discussions and screening of documentaries as tribute, sealing of a time capsule filled with Lennon’s music and items contributed by fans and a lot more.
I'm so glad that John Lennon's will have an en-grande celebration. For this will give today's generation to know more about famous personalities who have a lot of contribution in music industry not just a solo artist but also a group. Lennon is also a member of the most popular band in the 60's with their song being played and revive time and time again. This year The Beatles (Lennon's band group), was also tribute by reality talent search American Idol in which contestants performed hit songs of the said band. One of the songs who became a hit after performed in AI was Across the Universe which was also revived by Fiona Apple.
Let's go back with today's Google doodle : John Lennon, Have you tried clicking the logo? If you clicked it perhaps you will see the video embedded below.
The video featured one of the most popular song of John Lennon after he left his band The Beatles entitled Imagine. The song is really inspiring, I actually like its lyrics particularly, " Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too ". An achievement of great peace on earth. Well, Lennon was really an activist, a peace activist actually. I've watch one of the documentaries about his life in Discovery Channel which features his life in New York having a death threats and even wire tapped his telephone and already anticipated his death sooner. Anyway, here's a few excerpt from Wikipedia about his life as an activist.
Lennon revealed a rebellious nature and acerbic wit in his music, his writing, on film, and in interviews, and became controversial through his work as a peace activist. He moved to New York City in 1971, where his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a lengthy attempt by Richard Nixon's administration to deport him, while his songs were adapted as anthems by the anti-war movement. Disengaging himself from the music business in 1975 to devote time to his family, Lennon reemerged in 1980 with a comeback album, Double Fantasy, but was murdered three weeks after its release.
I just miss being called as John Lennon for having a long hair like his :( Imagine Lyrics
Imagine there's no Heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one
According to RollingStone.com, Justin Bieber is said to be replacing Ashton Kutcher in his prankster tv show Punk'd.
I'm the one who's scared for Justin Bieber because I believe he's the most hated teen star I've ever known ;). It's a huge question mark for him to handle the show. Will he be bringing bodyguard with during his prank episodes?
According to news, Bieber is about to close the deal to host the Punk'd reboot, and will likely take part in the first series of pranks. Also, Ashton Kutcher will remain an executive producer.
What do you think? Will Justin Bieber carry out the job of hosting the reboot Punk'd or will just get a lot of punches from pranked celebrities :)
Cebu Pacific dancing flight attendants already caught worldwide attention since the conventional way to demonstrate the procedures on using live vest and seat belt has been pretty boring.
In my opinion, Cebu Pacific should not come up with gimmick like this because there are too many complains that needs be address first. Here's a sample story/complain about Cebu Pacific.
I have nothing against with Cebu Pacific, the only thing I complain is that there's no free snacks :) during the flight haha... As to its promo prices, well it's nothing but a gimmick too. It's not that really low at all. As a matter of fact, Philippine Airlines is much cheaper if you're going to book earlier to your supposed flight schedule.
Well, let's go back to Cebu Pacific dancing flight attendant, I'll rate the music 8 since it's one of the songs of Lady Gaga that I really like and the re-mix with Katy Perry's California Gurls was not bad. Timing and coordination - 8, Audience impact - 9. Overall - 8. Since Philippine Airlines does not have dancing flight attendant, Cebu Pacific Dancing Flight Attendants is a sure winner.
I thought Justin Impregnated his mother was the worst one but the news from Onion News Network about a sex offender named Michael Cote who carefully engineered his rise to teen pop stardom to gain access to thousands of underage girls.
Last September 19 Bruno Mars has been arrested for drug possession particularly cocaine. The singer/composer was caught by a security guard at Hard Rock Cafe after an attendant reported that the artist was spending a lot of time using one of the stalls.

Bruno Mars who popularized hit song Just the Way You Are and hit songs of B.O.B Nothin on You and Travie McCoy's Billionaire which he was featured.
CNN issued the following statement about the firing of Rick Sanchez.
“Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company. We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well.“
Here's a little history of what really happened with Ricky Sanchez
CNN’s Rick Sanchez is not happy with being made fun of constantly on The Daily Show and Colbert Report. It is from this jumping off point that he absolutely unleashed on Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and at times his own network, on Pete Dominick’s satellite radio show yesterday.
The big takeaway – Sanchez calls Stewart “a bigot,” then walks it back a bit, and he implies CNN is run by Jews.
Dominick was not just a radio show host – he is a CNN contributor who has a regular gig on John King, USA (more on that below), and he formerly was the warm up comic at The Daily Show. Which is why when Sanchez says “I think Jon Stewart’s a bigot” early in the interview, Dominick pushed back:
Dominick: How is he a bigot? Sanchez: I think he looks at the world through, his mom, who was a school teacher, and his dad, who was a physicist or something like that. Great, I’m so happy that he grew up in a suburban middle class New Jersey home with everything you could ever imagine. Dominick: What group is he bigoted towards? Sanchez: Everybody else who’s not like him. Look at his show, I mean, what does he surround himself with?
Recently, Justin Timberlake visited “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" to promote his latest movie project "The Social Network". The two came up with an impromptu performance when their discussion went to the History of Rap music. After a while, the Jimmy and Justin stand up from their seats and started performing snippet of the group’s classic “Rapper’s Delight.”
Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon continued performing not just one song but also snippets of Beastie Boys’ “Paul Revere,” Snoop Dogg’s “Nuthin’ But a G Thang,” Tupac’s “California Love,” Eminem’s “My Name Is,” and even Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind.”
Have you missed Justin and Jimmy's performance? Well, you're not alone but don't worry because you can still watch from the video below.
