Gary V. Inside out

Just when you thought you knew everything about Gary Valenciano, Mr. Pure Energy himself reveals more of himself in this installment of Conversations’ broken ‘who, what, where, when, how’ truth game. Stay tuned.

Because Gary Valenciano is celebrating his 25th anniversary as an all-around artist, Conversations asked the one person — his wife also of 25 years Angeli Pangilinan — who knows him very well to make a list of 25 adjectives that best describe Mr. Pure Energy himself. Take note:

• God-fearing

• Loving

• Childlike

• Talented

• Temperamental

• Generous

• Forgetful

• Hilarious

• Funny

• Messy

• Brilliant

• Musical

• Precise

• Excellent

• Playful

• Disciplined

• Passionate

• Focused

• Artistic

• Deep

• Poetic

• Devoted

• Self-controlled

• Humble

• Committed

To mark the milestone, he’s restaging his Gary V Live at 25 on Friday, Feb. 20, still at the Araneta Coliseum, joined by the same A-list guests including Jericho Rosales, Karylle, Rachelle Ann Go, Laarni Lozada, The Bloomfields, Sugarfree, Salamin, the Philippine All Stars, G-Force and The Powerplay...plus his children Paolo, Gabriel and Kiana with The Manoeuvres. Former Kundirana singer Mico Aytona will open the show conceptualized by Gary V. himself and directed by his bosom buddy Rowell Santiago, with Mon Faustino as musical director.

So you think you know Gary V inside-out, upside-down? Think again. In this installment of this corner’s broken “who, what, where, when, how” series, he reveals more of himself.

Who

Who between your two sons do you think will inherit your “throne”?

“Both my sons are their own person. Though they may be in entertainment, neither has expressed a desire to take on the very same responsibilities I have on my shoulders. Gabriel is a very skilled music producer more than he is a dancer/choreographer. As a music producer, he will certainly take on that mantle from me. He is much more advanced than I ever was at his age though because of technology and the resources he has to buy equipment. On the other hand, Paolo has inherited my vocals and the desire to be a video producer like me. He is amazingly so gifted in audio-visual production and stage performances in the rock arena. I am so blessed though that both have the desire to reach out to the underprivileged children and they do advocacy quietly on their own without even telling Angeli and me sometimes. It’s hard for them to fill in my shoes and they have suffered greatly because of comparison but they will find their own ‘kingdoms’ and i know they will excel by God’s design.”

Who do you consider your stiffest competition?

“Myself. I do not think much about competition now like I used to during my younger years. I am to be the best that i can be and not simply be better than whoever I’m with on stage.”

Who is Gary Valenciano away from the limelight?

“Hmmmm...good question. Gary V may come out on stage or television bringing messages of hope and encouragement but he certainly isn’t always right or perfect. He, too, goes through the ups and downs that come to every human being on earth. He is a man who loves his God, a Christian under construction. He happens to be very precise in all that he wants to accomplish so it’s not easy working for and with him.”

Who is the one person you will never forget?

“Tough question. Each and every person who has become close to me; all of them are people who mean a lot to me. My wife is one person I will not forget. The other person would probably be my brother Robby who lives in California.”

Who would you be if not Gary Valenciano?

“That’s hard to imagine but perhaps I’d be someone with the same passion as, the same energy, the same love for God as Gary V. in every area of life but unknown to the public.”

What

What do you like most about yourself (and why)?

“There is a side of me that is quite simple. It doesn’t take much to make me happy. I love to laugh and make others do the same. I love to encourage whenever it’s needed.”

What don’t you like about yourself (and why)?

“Sometimes i fail to see the bigger picture of things and this can result in more ranting and complaining than raving and complying.”

What song (yours or that of another singer) is most memorable to you (and why)?

“The song is called Break Me. It is one that I wrote. Here is when I’m in the deepest trenches of my soul. It is not just a song but a prayer said in lyrical and melodious form. It also is the song demo I presented to our partner for 19 years, Bella Tan, the hour she died. Aside from three doctors, Angeli and I were the only outsiders who were with her that night. I finished it on Good Friday and sang it publicly in church for the first time on Easter Sunday in 2005. I presented it to Bella two days later. I’ll never forget the pain of that memory.”

What is your greatest fear?

“At this point and time in my life, I really have no fear even of death as I have met it face to face several times. But during those moments when the human soul takes over the spirit, it is the fear of failure that tries to make its way into my heart.”

What is one mistake that changed your life?

“Secret! Hehehe!”

Where

Where is your erogenous zone?

“Secret! Hehehe!”

Where are you most comfortable (at ease)?

“At home watching a DVD while eating my lunch.”

Where do you want to live (if not the Philippines)?

“In the Philippines. It is crucial that someone like me stays close to people who can support me when i need support spiritually.

This is my highest priority. My desire is to be closer to my home church in Alabang so I guess that’s where i’d like to live.

Abroad... in the USA where my mom and sisters and only brother Robby live.”

Where is your Achilles’ heel?

“Achilles got hit in one heel but he really had two just like every other human being. Hehehe! I guess that shows you that I don’t have only one Achilles heel. Being a perfectionist can be considered as one heel, sometimes i can get to be very impatient when I want things done my way. That would be the other heel.”

Where do you go to unwind?

“Up on the hills of the following places: 1) Maarat, San Mateo; 2) Sta. Rosa, Laguna; 3) La Mesa Eco Park; 4) Tali Beach in Batangas; and 5) Calatagan. It is in these places that I spend time with my mountain bike and face the challenges of climbing steep hills, deep ruts, exciting descents, and thrilling off-road trails. Does it sound like something tiring? Yes, it is but that for me is the best way to unwind.”

When

When do you feel most vulnerable (to threats from younger stars)?

“When I try and do something that only fits them. I don’t ever want to look like I’m trying to be young again.”

When are you at your best performance level?

“When my heart and mind are in absolute synch with the one who has given me all the talent to shine.”

When are you happiest?

“When I’m with my family.”

When are you saddest?

“When I feel that I’ve failed to do something or did something i shouldn’t have.”

When, if ever, did you have any intimation of (your) mortality?

“When I have hypoglycemia (low sugar due to insulin overdose) attacks with my wife, no one would believe that it’s Gary V.

I can act like a special child or I can be numb and clueless, unable to speak or think properly. Or, like in 2005, I nearly died.

Without the first aid that my wife did, I could have not survived.”

How

How does diabetes, if it does, affect your sex life?

“Miraculously it hasn’t and by God’s grace it never will. Thirty years of diabetes with zero complications is something I am grateful for.”

How do you handle a crisis/problem?

“I don’t usually handle it on my own. Angeli and I are a team and so when a problem or crisis arises, we pray a lot together. Only then do we find ourselves able to make wise decisions and correct judgments over the situation with peace in our hearts. Angeli says in crisis...Christ is!”

How do you pray?

“Jesus is my friend. Before we get to the place where we want to pray, He’s already there. I speak to Him with no formula in my words just a heart that is totally open and mindful of the fact that He is pleased when I come to Him with no fear, inhibition, and doubt. I speak to Him like he’s just beside me.

I try to pray the word of God (Bible verses) itself. Including his word in my prayer seals the promises He has given to me and to you.”

.How do you keep fit (diet and workout)?

“My mountain-biking activities really help me in more ways than one. I try to do this two to three times per week but when major events like the repeat of Gary V Live@25 happen, I usually put more emphasis on dance rehearsals for my physical conditioning.”

.How do you (and Angeli) sustain your happy marriage?

“The answer is simple but the task must be an everyday effort from both parties involved to keep any marriage working healthy. Prayer, forgiveness, communication, being accountable to godly counselors and saying no to many invitations. It is no secret that we have anchored our marriage on God. The challenges will always come but like St. Peter who walked on water, he walked on it only while he kept his eyes on Jesus. Once he realized that what he was doing was an impossible feat he started to focus on the windand the waves and began to sink. When he focused his eyes on Christ again, he reached his goal, his destination — the boat. We, too, try to walk by faith, focusing our hearts on Jesus. A 25-year marriage has proven that with Jesus nothing is impossible.”

Willie of wowowee sought out help for OFW's in Dubai.

The success of the recent staging of the ABS-CBN noontime show Wowowee in Dubai was made more meaningful when host Willie Revillame played “angel” to 32 of the 60-plus OFWs under the custody of the POLO-OWWA Dubai.

According to Funfare’s DPA in Dubai, Willie shelled out P450,000 from his own wallet for the plane tickets of 32 of the OFWs who sought the help of the Philippine Consulate there after they were hurt, abandoned or maltreated by their employers. Some of them were pregnant and some were infants. Kind-hearted individuals came to the rescue of the first batch of OFWs who, hopefully, should have been reunited with their families back home.

“During a break,” the Funfare DPA added, “Willie with ABS-CBN Executive Charo Santos-Concio visited the Philippine Consulate and learned about the plight of the OFWs. Without any second thought, Willie right there and then shouldered the plane fare of the remaining 32 OFWs. It was Willie’s advance Valentine gift to them.”

Ching Ardivilla of POLO-OWWA Dubai couldn’t thank Willie enough.

Wouldn’t it be nice if Willie invited the 60-plus OFWs as contestants on Wowowee’s Bigat-10, Hep-Hep Hooray or Oo o Hindi segment?

the answer is, what if the contestants might have not won. still willie did the only best thing possible for a person like him can do, the best thing is he didnt brag about it.

lets pray for his health who has recently been admitted to the hospital for a blocked artery.

God's will he's going to be fine.^^

The comic side of Arnel Pineda

You never knew that Arnel Pineda, now a US mainstream artist being the lead vocalist of Journey, has a comic side, did you?

According to Funfare’s Big Apple correspondent Edmund Silvestre (of The Filipino Reporter), Arnel displayed this hitherto unknown side of him during his Feb. 7 concert with Lani Misalucha at the Newark Symphony Hall in Newark, New Jersey, presented by Calla Lily Entertainment Production.

Reported Edmund, “The two artists delivered not only world-class performances but also first-rate Pinoy humor.”

The electrified crowd gasped at the splendid talents and undeniable chemistry of the two stars, giving them standing ovations every now and then, and in between burst into laughter as the two made fun of themselves, from Lani’s legs and knees to Arnel’s being vertically challenged.

Edmund said that in one segment, Arnel quipped, “Call me Piolo,” prompting Lani to introduce him as Piolo Pascual. “Just look at me, hindi ba magkamukha kami ni Piolo?,” Arnel added with a straight face.

“Pagbigyan na lang natin maliit kasing tao,” Lani shot back.

It’s no secret that Arnel’s fairy tale life began in a less than desirable environment. But the guy was never rude and was always polite to enthralled fans who every now and then would steal kisses from him.

“Arnel was actually a gentleman and a humble soul,” continued Edmund, “allowing Lani the music goddess to shine even more even if he knows he’s the bigger star in terms of international exposure and recognition. That night, everyone was still talking about Arnel and Journey’s Super Bowl pre-game performance in Tampa, Florida, a week earlier.”

Here are excerpts of a review of the Lani-Arnel New Jersey concert written for Funfare by Fil-Am contributor Dawn Fraser, titled A supercalifragilistic show:

There are few singers who can pull off as diverse a range of musical styles as Lani Misalucha and Arnel Pineda...

...As the opening beats of Whitney Houston’s Queen of the Night blared from the stage of the beautiful concert hall, Misalucha strutted out in her daringly short red mini-dress and gold peeptoe pumps. With no shortage of attitude, she belted out Houston’s power single, accompanied by the cheers and screams of an exuberant audience.

She followed up this demonstration of raw vocal power and confidence with a more subtle, but no less lovely performance of Natalie Cole’s Orange-Colored Sky. This jazzy ‘50s standard showcased the glorious clarity and enchanting vibrato of Lani’s voice that has deservedly earned her the title of Asia’s Nightingale...

But as I was to discover, Misalucha is more than just a pretty singing voice. She is a gifted impressionist as well. In a highly comedic medley, she managed to parody Tina Turner, Beyoncé Knowles, Celine Dion and Britney Spears to hilarious effect. Every vocal inflection, every signature dance move, every facial tic was spot on.

Nor were the Filipina divas spared the Misalucha treatment. Zsa Zsa Padilla, Sharon Cuneta, Jaya, Regine Velasquez and Pilita Corrales — all were fair game, and the audience loved every minute of it.

Then it was Pineda’s turn to shine. He began with a pitch-perfect performance of The Police’s Every Breath You Take, followed up Bryan Adams’ Summer of ’69 and, of course, a Journey song — Faithfully. Throughout his whole set, the women in the audience could barely contain themselves, calling out his name and rushing the stage. Pineda took it all in stride, climbing down into the seats and shaking hands with audience members, taking time to sing directly to a fortunate few...

...When Pineda had finished his solo set, Lani re-emerged in a long and flowing, white goddess gown. Together, they sang a duet of Bette Midler’s From A Distance, while footage from the charitable organizations Bantay Bata and the Arnel Pineda Foundation played in a montage behind them. Both these charities, funded in part by the proceeds from the concert, seek to improve conditions for disadvantaged children in the Philippines...

...Misalucha and Pineda then sang a medley of Queen’s greatest hits, including We Will Rock You, Another One Bites The Dust, Bohemian Rhapsody, and We Are The Champions, before Misalucha took the stage for her final solo set. Her beautiful rendition of Giacomo Puccini’s Nessun Dorma was absolutely memorable, made all the more remarkable by the fact that it was book-ended by two hard-rock songs. The ease with which Misalucha is able to switch from genre to genre is mind-boggling. Her operatic technique is so flawless and natural, she is able to insert elements of an aria into something as intrinsically foreign as Laklak, a Pinoy rock song about a drunken teenager, all without missing a beat.

Pineda rejoined Misalucha for the final song of the evening, a duet of Journey’s Open Arms. Like so many of the performances before it, this song, too, was greeted with a standing ovation, by an audience overwhelmed by the superlative concert by the two artists.

The Other Side of like

~DEATH~
WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT!!!!!

A sick man turned to his doctor,
as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said,
"Doctor, I am afraid to die.
Tell me what lies on the other side."

Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know."

"You don't know?
You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"

The doctor was holding the handle of the door;
on the other side came a sou nd of scratching and whining,
and as he opened the door,
a dog sprang into the room
and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.

Turning to the patient, the doctor said,
"Did you notice my dog?
He's never been in this room before.
He didn't know what was inside.
He knew nothing except that his master was here,
and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear.
I know little of what is on the other side of death,
but I do know one thing...
I know my Master is there and that is enough."


READ AND RETURN
(sorry - cannot break this)

May today there be peace within you.
May you trust God that you are exactly
where you are meant to be.
I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet
when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

How the Devil Works [Read even if you are busy]

SATAN'S MEETING: (Read even if you're busy)


Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.

In his opening address he said,

"We can't keep Christians from going to church."

"We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth."

"We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their saviour."

"Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken."

"So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ.."

"This is what I want you to do," said the devil:

"Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!"

"How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.

"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.

"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow."

"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles."

"Keep them from spending time with their children."

"As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!"

"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice."

"Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive." To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly."

"This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ."

"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers."

"Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day."

"Invade their driving moments with billboards."

"Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services and false hopes.."

"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives. "

"Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night."

"Give them headaches too! "

"If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere."

"That will fragment their families quickly!"

"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from tea ching their children the real meaning of Christmas."

"Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death."

"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive."

"Have them return from their recreation exhausted."

"Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead."

"Keep them busy, busy, busy!"

"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences."

"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus."

"Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause."

"It will work!"

"It will work!"

It was quite a plan!

The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there.

Having little time for their God or their families.

Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives.


I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?


You be the judge!!!!!

Does "BUSY" mean: B-eing U-nder S-atan's Y-oke?

Please pass this on, if you aren't too BUSY!

I don't think I know 10 people who would admit they love Jesus.

Do You Love Him?

IF YOU LOVE JESUS, PASS THIS ON!!!!!!!

Child bride gets divorced after rape, beatingsw

• Story Highlights
• Ex-child bride says, "I didn't want to sleep with him, but he forced me to"
  
• Yemeni girl, 10, say she was forced to marry man three times her age
  
• Now divorced, Nujood Ali is one of the few children to speak out against practice
  
• International aid group: More than half of all Yemeni girls are married off before 18
  

Editor's note: CNN does not usually identify children of alleged abuse, but in this case the girl and her family gave CNN permission to tell her story and use her name.

SANAA, Yemen (CNN) -- Nujood Ali is 10 years old, but she already has been married and divorced. It was an arranged marriage in which she said a husband three times her age routinely beat and raped her.

"When I got married, I was afraid. I didn't want to leave home. I wanted to stay with my brothers and sisters and my mom and dad," she said, speaking to CNN with the permission of her parents.

"I didn't want to sleep with him, but he forced me to. He hit me, insulted me."

As she plays marbles with her brothers and sister, Nujood is a portrait of innocence, with a shy smile and a playful nature.

But what happened evokes anger and shame. Asked if what she went through was torture, she nods quietly.

Nujood's parents married her off in February to a man in his 30s whom she describes as old and ugly.

Her parents said they thought they were putting her in the care of her husband's family, but Nujood said he would often beat her into submission.

Nujood then turned to her family for mercy.

"When I heard, my heart burned for her; he wasn't supposed to sleep with her," said Nujood's mother, who asked not to be identified.

But, initially, she also told her daughter she could not help her -- that she belonged to her husband now.

Nujood's father, Ali Mohammed Ahdal, said he is angry about what happened to his daughter. "He was a criminal, a criminal. He did hateful things to her," he said. "He didn't keep his promise to me that he wouldn't go near her until she was 20."

When contacted by CNN, the girl's former husband declined to comment.

Nujood's parents, like so many others in Yemen, struck a social bargain when they decided to have their daughter wed. More than half of all Yemeni girls are married off before the age of 18, according to Oxfam International, a nonprofit group that fights global poverty and injustice.

Many times girls are forced to marry older men, including some who already have at least one wife, Oxfam said. According to tribal customs, the girls are no longer viewed as a financial or moral burden to their parents.

"There is always a fear that the girl will do something to dishonor the family: She will run away with a guy, she will have relations with a boy. So this is always the phobia that the families have," said Suha Bashren of Oxfam International.

Bashren calls the tradition of child brides in Yemen a national crisis. She works with young girls to protect them from early marriage, abuse and one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world.

The Yemeni government is holding legal and religious workshops to try to deal with the issue of early marriage. But experts say marrying off a young daughter is generally still seen as the right thing to do.

"A lot of people in the public don't think that this is wrong or that what happened to her was abuse," Bashren said.

In Yemen, there is nothing new or extraordinary about Nujood's story because children have been married off for generations. The country's legal minimum age for marriage was 15 till a decade ago, when the law was changed to allow for children even younger to be wed.

But what is most unusual is that this young girl took such an intensely private dispute and went public with it.

Nujood said she made up her mind to escape from her husband, describing how on a visit to her parents' home she broke free and traveled to the central courthouse across town and demanded to speak to a judge.

"He asked me, 'What do you want?' And I said, 'I want a divorce.' And he said, 'You're married?' And I said, 'Yes,'" she recalled.

What unfolded in those few days in April gripped the country on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula.

Nujood got her divorce, but based on the principles of Islamic Sharia law, her husband was compensated, not prosecuted. Nujood was ordered to pay him more than $200. The human rights lawyer who represented her donated the money.

But for this determined spirit, it was still a sweet victory.

"I did this so that people would listen and think about not marrying their daughters off as young as I was," she said with a shy smile.

Now back at the family home, she said she won't go outside to play -- that all the attention bothers her. Some still condemn the young girl for speaking out, believing that she shouldn't have challenged convention.

Human rights advocates said it will take more than a generation if this practice is to change in Yemen for other children.

"These girls are living in a misery that no one is talking about," Oxfam's Bashren said.

Sex trade, forced labor top U.N. human trafficking list

• Story Highlights
• The most common form of human trafficking is sexual exploitation, report says
  
• The victims of sexual exploitation are predominantly women and girls
  
• In some regions, women trafficking women is the norm, official says
  
• Report is based on data from 155 countries
  

UNITED NATIONS (CNN) -- Sexual exploitation and forced labor are the most common forms of human trafficking in the world, a new report from the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime said.

The "Global Report on Trafficking in Persons" is based on data from 155 countries and offers a global assessment of human trafficking and efforts to fight it.

The most common form of human trafficking is sexual exploitation, at 79 percent, the report said. The victims of sexual exploitation are predominantly women and girls.

In about one-third of the countries that provided information on the gender of the traffickers, women made up the largest proportion of traffickers. In Central Asia and Eastern Europe, women make up more than 60 percent of those convicted of trafficking.

"In these regions, women trafficking women is the norm," said Antonio Maria Costa, the head of U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime. "It is shocking that former victims become traffickers. We need to understand the psychological, financial and coercive reasons why women recruit other women into slavery."

The second most common form of human trafficking is forced labor, or slavery, making up 18 percent of the total, although the writers of the report say it may be underreported.

"How many hundreds of thousands of victims are slaving away in sweat shops, fields, mines, factories, or trapped in domestic servitude?" Costa said. "Their numbers will surely swell as the economic crisis deepens the pool of potential victims and increases demand for cheap goods and services."

Regardless of the type of human trafficking, nearly one in five of its victims were children, according to the report.

"Children's nimble fingers are exploited to untangle fishing nets, sew luxury goods or pick cocoa," the report said. "Their innocence is abused for begging, or exploited for sex as prostitutes, pedophilia or child pornography. Others are sold as child brides or camel jockeys."

In a 2008 report on human trafficking, the U.S. State Department listed Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia as destination countries with widespread trafficking abuses, particularly forced laborers trafficked from Asia and Africa who are subject to restrictions on movement, withholding of passports, threats and physical and sexual abuse.

The report found those countries made feeble efforts to rescue victims and prosecute traffickers.

The department's report also says slave labor in developing countries such as Brazil, China and India was fueling part of their huge economic growth. Other countries on the blacklist were Algeria, Cuba, Fiji, Iran, Myanmar, Moldova, North Korea, Papua New Guinea, Sudan and Syria.

The U.N. Protocol Against Trafficking in Persons has been in place since 2003. The number of member states "seriously implementing" the protocol has doubled, according to the U.N. report. But it singled out Africa for lacking the necessary legal instruments and the will to crack down on human trafficking.

"There are strong international agreements to ensure that people's lives are not for sale," Costa said. "I urge governments to enforce them."

Basketball: Kobe, Shaq shine as West triumphs in NBA All-Star Game

PHOENIX, Arizona, Feb 15, 2009 (AFP) - Onetime teammates and sometimes feuding rivals Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal teamed up again Sunday to lead the Western Conference to victory in the National Basketball Association All-Star Game.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Bryant made a storming start and finished with 27 points as the West dominated the Eastern Conference 146-119 in the mid-season showcase.

Phoenix Suns center O'Neal had 17 points and five rebounds as the duo were named co-Most Valuable Players.

Bryant captured his third MVP award at the event, teaming with former Lakers teammate O'Neal and coach Phil Jackson for the first time since June 2004, when they fell to the Detroit Pistons in the NBA Finals.

Prior to that Kobe and Shaq led Los Angeles to three titles at the start of the decade, forming one of the most potent duos in NBA history.

The partnership was also marked by feuding, but the pair appeared to have buried the hatchet as they jokingly fought over the MVP trophy before raising it in unison at the end of the game.

Bryant, the reigning NBA MVP, set the tone by scoring 11 points on 5-of-10 shooting in the first quarter, when his shot total fell two shy of the record for the All-Star Game.

The West set the stage for the victory in the opening period, engineering a 26-7 run to end th equarter en route to a 34-27 advantage heading into the second.

Amare Stoudemire scored 19 points and Chris Paul added 14 and 14 assists, while Tony Parker also chipped in 14 points on 7-of-11 shooting with four rebounds and four assists.

Cleveland's LeBron James, a two-time All-Star MVP, scored 20 points for the East, who had a significant size disadvantage and were outrebounded 51-38.

UC slashes down tuition and freezes other fees

Finally a leading university in the city is sympathizing with the people during this global economic crunch.

University of Cebu, through two of her leading administrators---Vice Chancellor for Administration Atty. Nendell Hanz Abella and Executive Vice Chancellor Atty. Baldomero Estenzo—trouped to the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Region 7 Office to formally file the university’s application to reduce and freeze tuition fees. The move reduces P2 from every unit enrolled by incoming freshmen. It will also freeze miscellaneous and laboratory rates of other college year levels as well as freeze the tuition fees of second year students until their graduation.

“This will be a model for other schools, not only in region 7,” informed Dr. Candelario Aytona, Region 7 CHED Director. He is optimistic this will keep, return students back to, and even uplift the enrollment of the school, in spite of the current global fiscal crisis.

“It is a way of expressing Atty. Go’s sympathy with the people during this trying time,” explained Atty. Abella of the university’s move, while referring to UC President and known philanthropist Atty. Augusto W. Go. “I don’t think we (UC) will be hurting,” he furthered, even with the decrease of the tuition rate. But the tuition decrease and freezing of rates is expected to hold back the school from giving her workforce the much awaited annual across the board salary increase---a sacrifice which some UC employees have already voiced out a willingness to. “That’s better than losing our jobs,” quips Ms. Jessica Yu of the Cashier Department.

“That’s already something, because the savings we will earn will accumulate. That can already help my mother,” chorused Charina Cañete and Je-Anne Emperio, both third year Management Accounting students of UC Main.

An inquiry at the Office of Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Dr. Erlinda P. Barcelo disclosed that the program will take effect in UC colleges and within all campuses. It will cover the school year 2009-2010 and will start this first semester. Even if the program would not be extended after next school year, it will still assist majority of and offer financial relief to the college students, university-wide.

Nine year old writes iPhone code

A nine-year-old Malaysian boy in Singapore has written a painting application for the Apple iPhone.

Lim Ding Wen created the finger painting program, known as Doodle Kids, for his two younger sisters aged three and five.

The program allows iPhone owners to draw images on the handset's touch screen using just their fingers.

The program has been downloaded more than 4,000 times from Apple's iTunes store in less than two weeks.

While most children of his age are painting or drawing with crayons, Lim Ding Wen has been programming.

Lim, who is now fluent in six programming languages, first started using a computer when he was two-years-old, discovered programming aged seven, and has since completed more than 20 programming projects.

His latest application, Doodle Kids, allows users to draw pictures using their fingers and then clear the screen by shaking the iPhone.

"I wrote the program for my younger sisters, who like to draw," said Lim. "But I am happy that people like it."

Lim wrote the original application on his computer but has now adapted it for use on an iPhone.

He told The Electric New Paper in Singapore that he wrote the application in just a few days in Pascal.

Go on my son

Writing on his website, Lim's father - Lim Thye Chean - a chief technology officer at a local hi-tech firm, who also writes iPhone applications, was modest about his son's achievements.

"Ding Wen is an above average boy with an interest in computers, especially Apple IIGS and Macs, likes to do programming, and that's it.

"Doodle Kids is an extremely simple program that can be done by anybody. Everybody can program - if Ding Wen can, so can you," he wrote.

Lim Ding Wen is now working on a sci-fi game for the iPhone called Invader Wars and plans to join his school's robotics club.
