Showtime to replace Happy Yipee Yehey

January 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment

I may be really busy but whenever I have some free time, I usually spend it at home with my family while watching most of the Kapamilya shows. Been a fan and will always be.

Despite the low ratings of their noontime show – Happy Yipee Yehey! (HYY), I still find the show more entertaining compared to the network’s rival show – Eat Bulaga. So when I found out that ABS-CBN is said the cancel the show and will have its final episode next Saturday, February 4, I still got surprised even though I know it’s going to happen because the airtime spent for the show is still a business after all. But is it also true that Showtime is also to end? The program did not give everyone a clue what’s going to happen next after the Campus Clash Edition. Is this a sign after the hosts gave a dramatic episode, sending everyone a ‘Thank You’ message including to their co-hosts?

Not really because the said show is set to replace Happy Yipee Yehey!

‘Showtime’ will be overhauled and will reformatted from an original talent show to a complete variety show, and will relaunch on February 6, 2012, as an official noontime show, formally replacing Happy Yipee Yehey!.

“Showtime” will replace the timeslot of Happy Yipee Yehey (12:00pm to 2:30pm) starting February 6, 2012. The program will become a variety show, ending the daily competition of talented group dancers. The original Showtime host Vice Ganda, Vhong Navarro, Anne Curtis, Kim Atienza, Jugs Jugueta, Teddy Corpuz, with Billy Crawford and Karylle will remain as Showtime casts, source said.

ABS-CBN temporarily plans to replace the original timeslot of Showtime (10:30am to 12:00pm) by top blockbuster movies like the rival network (GMA-7) does which will be followed by “Mundo Man Ay Magunaw” that is set to start on Monday, January 30, 2012.

There were also rumors that current Happy Yipee Yehey! hosts Toni Gonzaga, Pokwang and John Estrada will be included in Showtime which source claimed is not true.

However, lets wait for ABS-CBN’s formal announcement if Showtime will really replace the timeslot of Happy Yipee Yehey.

Spices of Life

January 23, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Dear Lord,

I am going through so many things my mind and heart are having difficulty handling right now. So much of health, relationship, career, and test of faith and courage had hit me lately. Yes, I’m still standing, trying to fight most of the battle alone like what I used to but I feel like a lot had been damaged and I’m worried I might not overcome them if I’m given another big challenge. Please, let’s both take this journey slowly. I want to learn as I take each and every challenge you give and not overcome them then panic if I got hit by the same storm. I am so disheartened right now. Been sharing with you all my issues in life and that includes all my frustrations. For everything, I lift them all to you.

Your fragile child,

AJ

iPhone SJ: Concept Inspired by Steve Jobs

January 15, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Over the last few days there has been plenty of talk regarding the next generation iPad, but there seem to be only whispers about the next generation iPhone. As far as the design of the next iPhone, we don’t have much more than leaked “iPhone 5? cases that appeared online prior to the iPhone 4S launch. While the leaked iPhone 5 cases seem to resemble the iPad 2, some people have a much different idea of what the next generation iPhone could look like.

Designer Antonio De Rosa has created this beautiful “iPhone SJ” mockup, which he states is “inspired by Steve Jobs.”

Totally glass capacitive screen on a polycarbonate lightweight body.
New design inspired by Steve Jobs, new core with A6 dual core processor, new camera 10 Mpx (sic).
A classic reinvented. Again.

 

I think this is a gorgeous vision of what the next iPhone could look like, but it seems unlikely to me. If Apple’s launch-redesign-upgrade-redesign-upgrade way of dishing out iDevices has taught us anything, it’s pretty much a given that the next iPhone will feature a new quad-core processor (A6?) and if we’re lucky, a 10 megapixel camera. The polycarbonate back in De Rosa’s design just looks too similar to the current iPhone models to be considered a redesign, in my opinion. Departing from the glass back of the iPhone 4/4S would be a necessary change to be considered “new” (think: iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4) and would give the iPhone a look like that of the iPad 2. Other than that, there isn’t much to fuel the fire of speculation.

What do you think of this design? Would you like the next iPhone to be even thinner than the iPhone 4S? Do you think glass or metal would be better for the back? Be sure to let us know in the comments!

When you’re not as…

December 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I am just a little frustrated today. Asked two people today to approve a copy so I can publish it yet I didn’t hear anything from them. Ok, so it’s only the digital team who should reply to all e-mails, answer phone calls from clients and all during the holidays. That’s the reason I don’t want working with a team most of the time. Either I’m wasting most of my time waiting or I’d get a higher workload because I don’t get a feedback with all my proposals and I have to carry and accomplish all the task. May we all have a pleasant 2012. Hurrah!
