The Miss World 2012 Coronation Night will be aired today , August 18, 2012, 7:30 PM, on TV5 Network. 

My Blog, 'Allan is the Man', has now surpassed 1 Million Pageviews! 

To give you little info about my blog, well, my blog started May 2008 but only on 2009 that I started posting. That time, It carries a blog title of ‘A Blogger Wanna Be' then in early 2011, I replaced it with the blog title 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved', which I got from the popular then song of the band The Script and on the later part of 2011, The 'Allan is the Man' was born and, as cliché goes, the rest was history. 

Memory Card Reader ka ba?

Bakit?

Kasi.. gusto kung ipakita sayo ang memory card ng puso ko na tanging ikaw lang ang laman nito..

Sen. Tito Sotto's emotional story on the Senate floor last Monday about the death of his son may have come from his heart, but at least one lengthy passage from his speech came from someone else's blog.

Sotto's description of the purported ill effects of birth control pills on unborn children was lifted nearly word for word from the blog of "Sarah, the healthy home economist," a US-based writer who also opposes vaccines for children and offers recipes for goodies like grain-free pumpkin cookies.

Sotto did not attribute any of his words or research to "Sarah, the healthy home economist," whose disclaimer cautions that "the nutritional and other information on this website are not intended to be and do not constitute health care or medical advice.

The plagiarism was first exposed by Alfredo Melgar on the blog Filipino freethinkers.

Here is a comparison of Sotto’s speech and Sarah’s blog:

The London Olympics 2012 Closing Ceremony kicked off with a typically British mass singalong to bring the curtain down on an Olympic Games that have retained the feelgood factor throughout.

The show in the Olympic Stadium, entitled "A Symphony of British Music", is a celebration of Britain's pop prowess, featuring some of the kingdom's best-known acts like the Spice Girls, Muse and George Michael.

The pumped-up 80,000-strong crowd wasted no time getting into the party atmosphere, sending Mexican waves around the bowl as they eagerly waited in anticipation for the show to start.

In a hardly-kept closing ceremony secret, the Spice Girls played not one, but two songs from their whirlwind two-album career in the late '90s and early '00s.

Annie Lennox gave the 80,000-strong crowd a bit of "Little Bird" after riding in aboard a death galleon.

As is now custom, the final medal of the Olympics was awarded during the closing ceremony, with men's marathon winner Stephen Kiprotich of Uganda picking up the gold medal he secured earlier in the day.

LONDON OLYMPICS 2012 – The United States Dream Team of NBA stars captured their second successive Olympic men’s basketball gold medal and the 14th overall for America by beating Spain 107-100 in Sunday’s final.

Running unbeaten through the tournament as they did in 2008 when they also beat Spain in the final, the US multi-millionaire lineup of NBA elite claimed their fifth crown in the past six Olympics.

“I’m on cloud nine. It’s such a huge honour,” US star Kobe Bryant said after his final Olympic bow.

“It’s hard work and perseverance. I feel very fortunate to go to the Olympics twice and give it a go. I feel very lucky. It was nice.”

The Americans improved to 62-1 since revamping the national team program after settling for Olympic bronze in 2004.

“It’s a relief because if we don’t come back winners it’s a disaster,” US assistant coach Mike D’Antoni said.

But reigning European champion Spain, routed by the US NBA stars in a pre-Olympic exhibition game last month in Barcelona, stayed with the defending champions to the very end, keeping within reach until the final minutes.

LONDON OLYMPICS 2012: Men's Basketball Gold Medal Match 'USA vs Spain'.

The Americans now take on their toughest competition of the Games with a gold-medal final game against Spain (5-2). Both Pau and Marc Gasol have been making opponents suffer inside, while Jose Calderon continues to orchestrate the efficient offense.

After losing its first two games, Spain has won five consecutive games and come into this contest fresh off of a come-from-behind victory over Russia. Pau Gasol led the way in the victory with 16 points and 12 rebounds in what was Spain's most resilient victory of the Games.

Meanwhile, the United States are playing like a team that won't even be contested in the final. They outright embarrassed Argentina 109-83 after beating them by six points prior to the start of the Games.

Kevin Durant leads the way for Team USA with 18 points per game, and has been the outright star for this team throughout the Games. His play has propelled his teammates and the shooting has been jaw-dropping from the Thunder talent.

After both Spain and the United States have made their promising runs, it will all come down to this one surefire thriller in London.
