Radio frequency signals coming from cell sites do not pose any adverse health effects, according to Globe Telecom, citing studies conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO).

According to Emmanuel Estrada, Globe Head of Network Technologies Strategy, radio frequency signals coming from cell sites are classified as non-ionizing. Other low frequency devices that emit non-ionizing radio signals include transistor radios, microwave ovens and baby monitors.

On the other hand, ionizing radiations are those that have higher risk of adverse health risks that include x-rays, ultraviolet rays, gamma rays, which can break the chemical bonds in DNA.

“Based on studies conducted by WHO, the world’s most trusted authority in health issues, there is no convincing scientific evidence that the weak radio frequency signals from cell sites or base stations and wireless networks cause adverse health effects,” Estrada emphasized.

It was a night of glamour as celebrities walk the purple carpet on their way to the Yahoo OMG! Awards!

But wait, there's a stop-over before going into the VIP section. Interviews by the official Yahoo OMG! resident interviewer and other broadcast TV reporters from the popular networks plus a new set of interview and photo ops with the comedy trio (how lucky those guys were being able to have group and individual shots with the stars. I love their work! I am so envious!

Afterwards, we proceed to the VIP section where celebrities, along with selected guests, can get to sit comfortably and dine n drink from a caterer setup for the elite guests.

I got not because I was part of the selected guess with all access pass but because I had a friend inside who let me in. So I might as well laugh my heart out coz I get to mingle with the stars up close and get to watch them walk towards the stage to receive their Yahoo OMG! Awards!

Camiling, Tarlac : A Summer That's Better Late Than Never

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Everyone deserves a meaningful summer vacation.

Summer vacation usually starts at the end of March and ends at the first week of June. In this limited period of time, how can we say that we’ve already spent our vacation wisely? What do we really mean in saying “meaningful summer vacation”?

Maybe some of us would answer that meaningful summer vacation means doing things that would make you enjoy life. Some would say it means to experience travelling to unusual places but for me, a meaning vacation simply means having time with important people in your life. And that’s how I spent my vacation.

The great Olympian goddess of the earth is Demeter and more as the goddess of producing fruit, and consequently of agriculture, whence human food or bread. She was looked upon also as the goddess of marriage and was worshipped especially by women. Demeter was depicted as a mature woman, often crowned and holding sheaf of wheat and a torch.

Demeter was the daughter of Cronus and Rhea, and sister of Hestia, Hera, Aides, Poseidon, and Zeus. Like the other children of Cronus she was devoured by her father, but he gave her forth again after taking the emetic which Metis had given him.

As agriculture is the basis of a well-regulated social condition, Demeter is represented also as the friend of peace and as a law-giving goddess.

Artemis is one of the greatest goddess I’ve encountered in exploring the Greek mythology. Besides of being beautiful, she was also protecting those who were in need. She was that exceptional that she captured my attention. This picture was captured in the English Culminating Activity last year. In this picture, Artemis was the role played by Meg Celine Cruz a former Pascian. I admire her because she was able to imitate Artemis: her strength, appearance and beauty really fits in. I admire Artemis mainly because of her courage and beliefs.

Artemis is the daughter of Zeus, the mighty ruler of the Olympian gods who is considered to be the king of gods and goddesses. And Leto, the early and favorite lover of Zeus. It was said that Zeus married Hera while Leto was pregnant. After an affair and secretly impregnating Leto, Leto had to give birth to Aretmis while being chased by the Python sent by Hera. Fortunately for Leto her first child Artemis, was born without any pain. Artemis didn’t bring any pain to his mother all throughout the pregnancy stage of her mother until she was born and that is one of the amazing things on her.

Fortunately for Leto her first child, Artemis, was birthed without any pain. Artemis her twin brother was Apollo.

I got to attend an event that I was hoping why wife should be attending if she was blogging because it fits perfectly for her being the master of the kitchen. I do cook every once in a while but she still outdo me in all types of kitchen tasks.

But whoah! Our guest chef during the event was a man. I guess the "bigger kitchen" has been dominated by men already. When before there were only cooks, now there have been a proliferation of chefs - of the male species - all over the world.

Those huge restaurants in Makati, BGC Taguig, Eastwood, and Quezon City are now highly favorites because of their chefs who know their way in the kitchen and in our stomach.

But these chefs also have their own favorites aside from the dishes that they meticulously prepare. Yup! you've probably guessed right if you said : kitchenwares!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"It's a boy! Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, has given birth to the first child for her and Prince William." ---- CNN

Kate Middleton, also known as Princess Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge and wife to Prince William, has given birth to a bouncing baby boy of 8.6 pounds (that's heavy).

The Duchess of Cambridge has given birth after weeks of anticipation and fevered speculation about the sex of the third in line to the throne. The baby boy was born at St Mary's hospital in London at 4.24pm. Both mother and baby are doing well, but will stay at the hospital overnight accompanied by Prince William.

A deluge of congratulations lead by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh who are said to be "delighted" by the birth of their great grandson. Prince Charles said he was "enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time".

Thousands of well-wishers had gathered outside the Palace to await news, while the press have been camped outside the Lindo Wing outside the Paddington Hospital where the Duchess gave birth for several weeks.

The baby, who is still unnamed as of this writing, is third in line to the British throne.

Mark Zuckerberg Announces Death of Facebook Executive Chef Josef Desimone

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Mark Zuckerberg has announced the death of Facebook Executive Chef Josef Desimone via his Facebook account:

"I have some very sad news to share.

This morning Josef Desimone, our executive chef, was involved in a motorcycle accident and I’m sorry to report that Josef has passed away.

Josef was a Facebook legend and institution. "Chef Josef" joined us in 2008 and built our culinary team from a handful of employees in a single café into a global team with dozens of world class restaurants. He never compromised on quality while maintaining total attention to detail. Josef played an incredibly important role in defining our culture during those first years and right up to the present.

Away from Facebook, Josef was just as energetic and driven. Almost every weekend he was volunteering with veterans’ organizations, hosting firefighter breakfasts or supporting some other valuable cause. He had a strong belief in giving back more in life than he took, and it shows in all the people who mourn him today.

We will find a way to permanently honor Josef’s legacy at Facebook soon. For now, let’s remember and celebrate the passing of a great friend, devoted mentor and inspirational leader."
