Just Another Day

The BEP member Apl de ap was newly appointed for the Ninoy and Cory Aquino Foundation’s special ambassador for education in the Phillipines. Being a pop superstar, he after donating an internet library, a new campaign starts regarding building schools for the Filipino children. The campaign titled “We can do anything” which was about for which Apl had written a song with the same title. The song aims for his message which was “With an education, we can be anything”. By buying a copy of the song, the proceeds will directly go to the funds for the campaign. Apl.de.ap personally finds ways to “give back” to his countrymen by offering opportunities for young ones in the Philippines, a wonderful display of his nationalism and love for his country.

Planking is one of a modern internet craze in which a “planker”, the participant, lies down on an object and then takes pictures as photographic evidence and uploads it on the internet. Planking also is a form of an isometric exercise where in the abdominal core muscles. Many forms of planking have gone over the internet, though in some countries, it became a form of expression in rallies. With this wrong image found in planking, some countries are now making measures against the fad, including building laws that are anti-planking. Though passing this law is reasonable since there are a few who had died doing planking and thus gained a growing concern regarding the fad, it has not stopped millions of people around the world from doing it.

I was browsing through youtube when my attention was caught by a thumbnail of a video clip of J.Lo’s “on the floor” single. It was a short clip, around a minute and fifteen seconds video, and its thumbnail is quite interesting because of the bunch of people involved on that video. I played the video and watched the people on that video move along with the beat of the song. It was Jasmine Meakin’s choreography of the song and it was one of the best choreography that I have ever seen. It’s cute and at the same time punk! I didn’t realize that I was already hooked with the video and I found myself clicking the repeat button for about thirty minutes.

I had a driving practice with my brother yesterday. I borrowed my aunt’s minivan for that purpose. My brother was with me. He stood up as my “driving coach” because he is a professional licensed driver. We were just driving around the village because I thought it would be much safer there. For the first few turns it went well but on the sixth turn, I got out of control and we almost bumped to a big stone! Good thing my brother was able to help me. The car wasn’t damaged, at the very least, I’m thankful it only got some few scratches. But what I am thankful for is that my brother and I were alive!
