"No Other Woman" poster

Raking in Php15 Million worth of ticket sales on its opening day, "No Other Woman," the latest movie collaboration of two of the biggest production companies in the country, Star Cinema and Viva Films, proves to be a blockbuster hit already. According to reviews, one of the factors that helped the film attain this is its effective script.

Check out below the most memorable lines and quotes from the most talked-about movie today, "No Other Woman":

“Ang mundo ay isang malaking Quiapo, maraming snatcher, maagawan ka, lumaban ka!”

”Panahon na para i-pack mo na yang Lucy Torres mo, ilabas mo na diyan si Gretchen Barretto, anak ako na ang bahala sa red stiletto mo!”

“Tsaka ano bang mahirap kalaban? Yung putang mahirap o yung putang mayaman?” ”Pareparehong puta lang yun!”

“No pressure! And kiss me and don’t you dare fall in love with me.”

“We’re just two consenting adults having fun, there’s no emotional attachment.”

“Having fun? Ngayon yes fun! Pero paano pag iniwan ka na niya? Paano pag pinili na niya ang asawa niya? Paano pag na skandalao na ang pamilya mo? Fun pa rin ba!”

”Kara, this is my wife Charmaine.” “Your WIFE.”

“Why don’t you have dinner with us tonight, pa thank you ko na rin dahil kinuha mo ang asawa ko.” “I’m sorry?” “Bilang supplier ng furniture para sa resort niyo.” noypistuff

“Anything I can do to help you?” “Naku huwag na, mamaya makita mo na nilalagyan ko ang pagkain mo ng lason.”

“Mababaliw siguro ako kung malaman kong may babae siya. Baka mapatay ko yung kabit, silang dalawa actually.”

“Anong gagawin niyo if the only man that you love is unfortunately married! I’m not gonna give up Ram without putting up a god damn fight!”

“Hindi ako to, pero ginagawa ko para sa’yo!”

“Ang laki ng kasalanan ko, hindi ko na maayos to!”

“Gagawin ko ang lahat huwag mo lang akong iiwan!”

Ice Cream Sandwich OS gets previewed.

Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest Android operating system to be used in smartphones and tablets, is yet to be launched next month but it was reportedly leaked via eBay by accident.

According to an Engadget report, a man was surprised when he discovered that the Samsung Nexus S phone he ordered on eBay did not have the familiar Android Gingerbread OS. Instead, he found out that it was the upcoming Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS that was running in his newly acquired handset.

The said person quickly recorded a video displaying what Ice Cream Sandwich's features are. He was able to create a two-minute twenty-second video which he uploaded online. From the clip, we can see that the new OS has a lot of incorporation of Gingerbread and Honeycomb. It shows the user interface as similar to the leaked screenshots that have previously surfaced online. The new features include the lock screen, a Google widget with a number of Google apps, a new camera application and the notification bar. Check out the said video below:



Engadget added that after the person uploaded the video, his handset was remotely wiped and locked.

According to recent reports, Samsung has officially announced that Ice Cream Sandwich will be launched on October 11th. Android Head of Engineering, Mike Claren had called it the company’s “most ambitious release to date.” Features of the new OS will reportedly include facial recognition and new APIs to reduce fragmentation. It is said to be a combination of Gingerbread and Honeycomb into a "cohesive whole"

Michael Jackson audio shocks the world

An audio recording of Michael Jackson sounding dazed and disorientated which was presented as evidence during the first day of the Dr. Conrad Murray’s manslaughter trial  has shocked many people around the world.

From the said Michael Jackson audio, the pop star can be heard discussing about his "This Is It" tour with slurred speech. It was said to have been recorded by Dr. Murray himself while the singer was drugged.

“When people leave my show,” a barely audible Jackson told Dr. Murray, “I want them to say, ‘I’ve never seen nothing like this in my life. Go. Go. I’ve never seen nothing like this. Go. It’s amazing. He’s the greatest entertainer in the world,”

The prosecutors argue that the audio recording, which was recorded about six weeks prior to the singer's death, proves that Michael Jackson's personal doctor, Dr. Murray, was doping him up on the powerful anesthetic Propofol, which led to his death. (Propofol is an anesthetic used intravenously in hospitals for patients who are about to undergo a surgical intervention.)

Deputy District Attorney David Walgren told the court, “What happened during that time frame is that the acts and omissions of Michael Jackson’s personal doctor Conrad Murray directly led to his premature death at age 50.”

He added that the singer trusted the physician, and “that misplaced trust in Conrad Murray cost Michael Jackson his life.”

Dr. Conrad Murray was charged with “involuntary manslaughter” in the trial that began on Tuesday, September 27. Dr. Murray had pleaded "not guilty" to the accusations brought to him on February 8, 2010 and was released from police custody after paying the bail amounting to 75,000 US dollars.

Ontario, Canada - A Toronto-area high school teacher has claimed the $21.4 Million lottery jackpot prize that he won, almost three months after the lottery date.

Craig Henshaw, 42, was not aware that he had the winning ticket for the Lotto Max draw last July 8th. He reportedly pinned the ticket to his fridge and left for Europe with his girlfriend a few days later for a vacation. He said he was counting his pennies during his Euro trip not knowing that he had millions waiting for him at home.

"I had no idea I had $21 million sitting on my fridge at home," Henshaw said after being presented with a large cheque.

"I wouldn't have been living out of a backpack for two months if I'd known (about the money)," he added.

It wasn’t until Henshaw was back teaching at school that he decided to check a stack of tickets at a grocery store. At first he thought he won $21,000 which made him quite happy. But when he talked with a lottery official on the phone who said, no, it was $21 million, he dropped the phone.

Henshaw, who teaches wood shop and technology, plans to use the money that he won to pay for his nieces' and nephew's college education and bring his girlfriend back to Europe, in style this time, and possibly to tie knot with her. He is also planning to take a year off from teaching.

Fried Egg Nebula photo from ESO.

A yellow hypergiant star and its shell resemble a breakfast favorite, sunny side up, thereby named Fried Egg Nebula by astronomers from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) who captured the object for the first time.

Here's ESO's press release about Friend Egg Nebula:

Astronomers have used ESO’s Very Large Telescope to image a colossal star that belongs to one of the rarest classes of stars in the Universe, the yellow hypergiants. The new picture is the best ever taken of a star in this class and shows for the first time a huge dusty double shell surrounding the central hypergiant. The star and its shells resemble an egg white around a yolky centre, leading the astronomers to nickname the object the Fried Egg Nebula.

The monster star, known to astronomers as IRAS 17163-3907, has a diameter about a thousand times bigger than our Sun. At a distance of about 13 000 light-years from Earth, it is the closest yellow hypergiant found to date and new observations show it shines some 500 000 times more brightly than the Sun.

“This object was known to glow brightly in the infrared but, surprisingly, nobody had identified it as a yellow hypergiant before,” said Eric Lagadec (European Southern Observatory), who led the team that produced the new images.

The observations of the star and the discovery of its surrounding shells were made using the VISIR infrared camera on the VLT. The pictures are the first of this object to clearly show the material around it and reveal two almost perfectly spherical shells.

If the Fried Egg Nebula were placed in the centre of the Solar System the Earth would lie deep within the star itself and the planet Jupiter would be orbiting just above its surface. The much larger surrounding nebula would engulf all the planets and dwarf planets and even some of the comets that orbit far beyond the orbit of Neptune. The outer shell has a radius of 10 000 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun.

Yellow hypergiants are in an extremely active phase of their evolution, undergoing a series of explosive events — this star has ejected four times the mass of the Sun in just a few hundred years. The material flung out during these bursts has formed the extensive double shell of the nebula, which is made of dust rich in silicates and mixed with gas.

This activity also shows that the star is likely to soon die an explosive death — it will be one of the next supernova explosions in our galaxy [4]. Supernovae provide much-needed chemicals to the surrounding interstellar environment and the resulting shock waves can kick start the formation of new stars.

The Very Large Telescope mid-IR instrument, VISIR, captured this delicious image of the Fried Egg Nebula through three mid-infrared filters that are here coloured blue, green and red.

Suspension of classes on September 27, 2011 in several areas in Luzon including NCR (Metro Manila) is highly likely to be announced since Public Storm Warning Signals (PSWS) have been hoisted over those areas.

According to the guidelines set by the Department of Education (DepEd), classes in kindergarten will automatically be suspended when an area is under PSWS #1, while classes in high school and lower levels will be canceled automatically if PSWS #2 is raised over the area. There will be no classes in all levels including in colleges and universities if the area is under PSWS #3.

Forty areas are currently under storm signals, 8 of which are under PSWS #3, based on the 5 p.m. (September 26, 2011) bulletin from the state weather bureau. However, DepEd usually bases the suspension of classes on the 5 a.m. bulletin. In previous situations like this, parents were advised to wake up earlier for the most recent bulletin.

Meanwhile, here are the guidelines on the suspension of classes in tertiary levels of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED):

In line with the guidelines of the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC), the following are the guidelines for the suspension of classes in higher education institutions :

1. Classes at the collegiate level, including graduate school, are automatically suspended if the proper authorities have declared storm signal no. 3 or higher.

2. Classes at the collegiate level, including graduate school, may be suspended at the discretion of heads of HEIs if special circumstances in their area such as flooding, road damage, etc. warrant it.

3. HEI heads or their duly authorized representatives shall make the announcement for the suspension of classes not later than 5 A.M. of the day when it shall take effect, using all means of communication.

4. Even without the suspension of classes, students who are unable to report to class or participate in scheduled activities such as exams, due to inclement weather, shall be given consideration and be allowed to make up for the missed class or activity.
