(Published by Yehey! Lifestyle)

Drift aces gathered Sunday afternoon to compete in the 3rd elimination round of the 2008 Glade Sport Lateral Championship. The showcase of drifting skills was held at the parking grounds fronting The Promenade in Green Hills. Prominent drifters included actor Ryan Agoncillo and racing icon Pia Boren but the real winner came out as Alex Perez who bagged first place of the elimination round. San Juan Mayor JV Ejercito also graced the event who is said to be a gear head himself during his youth.

Heavy rains halted just in time to give way to the event. James Deakin of C! Magazine hosted the event who gave enlightening pointers all throughout the elimination round. At some peak of the contest, San Juan Mayor JV Ejercito took the front passenger seat of a drift ace in a screeching round that left the place filled with white smoke. Strategic footage was taken by Hotwire using a remote controlled helicopter. The event was organized by Burnt Rubber Production.

Don’t miss out on the excitement. Winners of the three elimination rounds will compete on August 10 for the championship. Catch Hotwire’s coverage on Studio 23 airs every Sundays at 1PM.

Ana Isabel Ramirez Bosch, lead vocalist of Analog, quietly passed away last January 11 from cerebral aneurism. She gave a good fight. Her ashes lies at the family compound in Pasay City. The wake will last until her birthday on January 25 during which a mass will be celebrated. She would have turned 33. After the mass, food and drinks will be served. As tribute to the rock goddess, there will be music, poetry reading and video presentations. As early as now, the Lemuria Compound where her ashes are kept has become a monument to her brief but fruitful life. Besides Analog, Anabel has also been part of Tropical Depression, Electrikoolaid, Spy and Cocojam. Her rise to fame in music is narrated in her last blog found on dizzychick76.multiply.com written in December 2008.

Her music career ended at the sweet age of 32. In t

Romancing Baler

On Baler The Movie. I must say that we are certainly getting closer to the true picture of the Philippine Revolution. There was a time when a Filipino soldier had to be barefoot, poorly clothed and very Indio looking. According to our history books, it's the other way around. Officers of the Philippine Republican Army were composed mostly of graduates of Ateneo, UST, Letran and other schools reserved for the affluent in Philippine society. A considerable number of Filipino officers were Creoles such as Col. Sityar, Col. Leyba or Major Manuel Quezon. As such, I find it unnecessary to tan our mestizo actors just to make them look "Filipino" or Indio. Andres Bonifacio himself was a Spanish Mestizo. This justifies the choice of Joel Torre and Leo Martinez as commanding officers of the Philippine Republican Army that attacked Baler. It is equally alright to choose another Mestizo in the person of Philip Salvador to play as one of the leaders of the revolution. When it comes t
