Books and Everything: A New Face

Dear Readers,

Starting this 14th of May 2012, Hail Gil will be catering another "branch" of  interest which is BOOKS! I'll attempt to have this blog not just an Opinion and News blog but also a Book blog. This, then, will undergo a one-month phase experimentation whether or not I can sustain Hail Gil as both an Opinion and Book blog. Your feedback are appreciated the most and will be considered in the assessment.

Yours Truly,
Gil

Facebook and their developers have launched without a second thought of a new feature that they would like to present to their users, the facebook TIMELINE. It is like a story book of your life or at least an online diary of life's activities and achievements.

1. Log in to your facebook account.

2. Be sure to be in a developer mode. Just type in the facebook search box "developer" (Make sure that it is the "developer" made authentically my facebook and not just by mere users.)

3. Go to the developer app.

4. Create a new app. Give your new app a display name and namespace. Facebook will be doing some verification in this stage.

5. Be sure your in your new app's settings page. Your app name will appear near the top page.

6. Look for "Open Graph" header and click "Get started".

7. An action type configuration page will appear. Change the default settings to your desired preference (i.e People can read a magazine.)

8. Wait for one to two minutes. (max of 3 min)

Extending Philippine prowess to United World Project

Great!

Recently, I met this blogger in an online blogging community, whom I latter knew the Founder of UNITED WORLD PROJECT (UWP), invited me to join his advocacy in somehow change the world's perspective in negative life's news portrayed by most foreign and local media. UWP explains the name itself. UWP wanted to bring the brighter side of the world away from war, poverty, corruption, and about political neurotic world leaders.

 The stories we are set out to post focus on the wonders of the world that still exist but are never focused on. It’s the little things. It’s the countryside shop in Italy that no one has ever heard of. It’s the hidden world in Africa where they are at peace with one another. It’s the amazing story about a family in America, that despite a bad economy,  they couldn’t be happier and more inspired at the wonders of the world. This is the goal of the site: to bring to you the glimpses of Gold in the midst of a world in constant scrutiny. [UWP | Mission]

In an instant, I accepted his offer as a contributor/correspondent of he Philippines for UWP bringing joyous, pleasurable, and inspiring news throughout the globe.

UWP then featured the post I made a month ago, "Philippines: The King of All Dances: Budots!", showing how great BUDOTS is compared to other dancing styles. 

I also have my own biography in the site. :D Hehehe... (I seem good to look at, just blur. :p)

United World Project is now on their way to seek bright news and start to plant sunshines throughout the land.

(Para ni sa mga maka-relate lang. Comment daun!)

Naka-adto ko gahapon sa Santiago (part sa tambakan sa basurahan sa Iligan) kauban ni June para unta sa among project sa Humanities 1 (MSU-IIT) sa photography. Sa among pag-laroy-laroy sa basurahan nakita namo ang usa ka butang nga kaniadto nakita namo sa among eskewlahan: ang "tag" sa usa ka room sa Political Science Department.

"POLITICAL SCIENCE TRAINING ROOM"

ako: Hala sa PolSci mana oh! (dili dili sa History na! Wuahahahaha)

june: Hahaha.. lage... (klaro ana!)

Abi kog gamay ra ang kalibutan para sa mga tawo (wala ka gadahom na ang imong kaila kay kaila pud sa iyang kaila na suud na higala sa imong kaila... gets? :p), sa mga basura man diay, gamay rapud ang kalibutan na possible atong makit.an og usab na kadtong mga butang na atong gilabaay sa dalan og sa basig asa sa syudad. Hmmm..

I Will Return, I Will Bring Change

Pinoy Expats/OFW Blog Awards (PEBA) 2011 is now again in their feet in leaping to other Filipino blogs and hail some for their great posts in different fields of interest. 

The benefactors of PEBA are mostly those who are working overseas. Thus sinks the idea of how these workers suffered in the name of fulfilling their respective family's needs and dreams. Even though sacrifices had cost them much, even how tough their work can be, they are still focused in determining how they can give their love ones left at home a better future. 

As they will return to their homes, being waited and longed by their loved ones, they had envisioned for a change. That someday, in any circumstances, change will be in their hearts and minds as they serve their motherland.

Seek hope! Seek change.
