The possibility to download free applications is a big advantage for websites specializing on mobile application software. However, this way of innovation isn’t widespread. Recently, to further their services to their subscribers, Globe Telecom launched their online portal called Free Apps where subscribers can download free mobile and PC applications developed by members of the Globe Labs developer pool or popular applications coming from the web. This portal contains not only free mobile and PC application downloads but also a lot of interesting and useful information about Globe services and the mobile world. Among its features, what I liked best about the site is its content which is not saturated with too much various information about the latest news in Globe services, applications, software reviews and whatnot. Also, when clicking the Free Apps tab, you will find a list of all free applications for different mobile devices. You can look through the applications available spe...

We went last night to see the movie, Orphan directed by Jaume Collet-Sera , and while it's creepy - I'll give it creepy - it's boringly fun. The movie is about Esther, the Orphan, and figuring out what is wrong with her. In the movie you’ll meet John and Kate ( parents who adopted Esther ) – plus hate!

Although reasonably, cheesily suspenseful, the movie takes a long time to get going. Its tagline, "There's something wrong with Esther," turns out to be a masterpiece of understatement. The movie draws us in by preying on parental fears and guilt, including the horrible things that can happen if you take yo...

A Chinese philosopher once said, “Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life. ” The same concept is the inspiration behind Bayan-anihan—Gawad Kalinga’s (GK) food sufficiency arm, which was established to eradicate hunger by empowering poor families to produce their own food via backyard or organic farming. It advocates for a hunger-free Philippines under the battlecry, “Goodbye Gutom! Empower the poor. Eradicate hunger.” Young adults, teens, and children can play games, while the adults will have a cooking session using the harvested vegetables. As a fitting end to the ceremonial harvest day, delicious and nutritious meals made with the harvested vegetables will be shared by everyone. Since this is a multi-sectoral movement, the national and local government units, schools, corporations and individuals, and the NGO’s, and the youth can be involved in several ways. The government can help out by providing infrastructure, land...
