Ricky Martin is Gay

Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin, said to the world that he is a Gay last Monday.


"I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am," he wrote on his official rickymartin.com website.

The Latin pop star records and performs mostly in Spanish but also has a huge crossover following in English, thanks in large part to his 1999 hit "Livin' La Vida Loca" ("Livin' the Crazy Life" in English). Ricky Martin told his fans that his decision to divulge his sexual orientation marks "an amazing turning point in my life," and it started a few months ago when he began the process of writing his memoirs.

"From the moment I wrote the first phrase I was sure the book was the tool that was going to help me free myself from things I was carrying within me for a long time," Martin wrote on his website.

He said the secret over time had become "too heavy for me to keep inside" and that he joyfully embraces his gay identity as "something worth celebrating."

The pop singer added that he did not come out earlier because advisers over the years had warned that he might ruin his career were he to reveal to his fans that he is gay.

Coming out "fills me with strength and courage," Martin said.
"Today is my day, this is my time, and this is my moment."

"Many people told me... 'all the years you've worked and everything you've built will collapse,'" he wrote.

September 2009 Philippines Bar Exam Results released March 26 2010

Only 1,451 or 24.5 percent of the total 5,903 Bar Examinees in September 2009 passed the Philippine Bar Examinations. The complete list of names of the passers will be released at 6 p.m., the Supreme Court said early Friday afternoon.

In an article on the supreme court's website, Justice Antonio Eduardo B. Nachura, chair of the 2009 Committee on Bar Examinations, said that the passing rate was lowered from 75 percent to 71 percent, while the disqualification grade in Taxation has been lowered from 49 percent to 45 percent.

The supreme court conducts the Bar Exams annually in accordance with Section 5(5), Article VIII of the 1987 Constitution, which gives the SC the power to “promulgate rules concerning … the admission to the practice of law."

The 2009 BAR examinations were administered through Deputy Clerk of Court and Bar Confidant Atty. Ma. Cristina B. Layusa.

Traditionally, the BAR Exams are held in four consecutive Sundays of September, but the high court had to reset the last exam Sunday in 2009 to October 4 due to widespread flooding caused by tropical storm Ondoy.

Italian Priests Molest - Abuse Scandal

Revelations that the Vatican halted the investigation of a Wisconsin priest accused of molesting some 200 deaf boys have eerie echoes in Italy, where 67 deaf men and women accused two dozen Italian Priests of raping and molesting children for years.

Only now after a year that Italian case became public and open— is the Vatican directing the diocese to interview the victims to hear their testimony about the accusations.

The two cases are the latest in a burgeoning abuse scandal on both sides of the Atlantic that now threatens to tarnish the papacy itself. The office charged with disciplining clergy was long led by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, and a church prosecution in the Wisconsin case was stopped after an appeal to Ratzinger.

The priest had their scandals with these pupils because they can never tell – they are deaf and had difficulty in communicating. And in both, the major priority of church officials grappling with how or whether to discipline accused predators appeared to be protecting the church from scandal.

Anne Curtis Breast Slip Scandal Photos in Boracay – a Fake Antivirus

This is a warning! Searching online for Photos of Anne Curtis' Boracay Photo Scandal during ASAP XV can be dangerous to your computer, (except for this blog of course).

The Australian-born TV host and movie actress was performing a dance number while shooting live for a local noontime TV show when the right part of her top folded and accidentally showed her right breast.

Likewise, news of the swimsuit malfunction involving Anne Curtis spread like virus earlier this week as photos of her Breast Scandal in Boracay Photos spread in social networks.

A Trend Micro security alert, meanwhile, said cybercriminals have jumped on the sudden popularity of searches for Anne Curtis by spreading new, fake antivirus.

If you downloaded this file named “TROJ_FAKEAV.ENZ”, which when executed, displays fake warning boxes and application windows, tricking the users to install several malware that will soon infect your system.

The company said Internet users should always have the latest anti-virus programs to block user access to related malicious sites and prevent malware from being downloaded onto systems.

I am sure you know what is fake or not, and perhaps you should trust your own antivirus.

Anne Curtis Boracay Breast Scandal Photo and Video Download

Are you looking where to download the Photos and Videos of Anne Curtis Boracay Breast exposure in Boracay? No. I chose not to post it in this blog post since I respect a multi talented ABS-CBN artist - Anne Curtis. Many detractors out there said that it is ok since she’s sexy and she’s an artist, but the thing is, every little thing has its own limitations, even the most popular artist. What is in Anne Curtis breast that you really like? Haven’t you seen any?

I supported Anne Curtis in vanishing her Breast Photo Scandal in Boracay in the net and Social Networking sites. And if you are asking me why I displayed those of Angelica Panganiban and Derek Ramsay Photo Scandal Photo Download? That is because they publicly accepted that fact.

Hope you are wise enough to understand. And I am wishing that you also condemned people who are taking this Anne Curtis Boracay Breast Photo Scandal for granted.

We appeal to these individuals, please have a little respect and decency to stop posting the photos and distributing the same. Think of your sister, your mother, your wife, and your daughter. . . . . have a heart. "

Google will be leaving China

Google, the world's largest internet related business company have threats to leave the Communist country, China by April 10. - PCWORLD

Shanghai based Business news says that Google might pull out the plug on its operations in China and could announce the final decision on Monday. If this were true, it would bring an end to the controversies about cyberattacks of China against Google and other US Companies. But pulling out Search giant Google to China means another consequence, considering that China is the most populous country in the world.

China censors Internet access by the people and arrests those who go too far in criticizing the government including Chinese media and imposes imprisonment if case permits.

If we may remember, social networking sites are also banned in this country, and only Google Buzz is their way of doing so. If Google will be pulling out their services in this country, another limitation will be executed to its citizens.

So ang papansinin ko na lang ‘yong nagmamahal sa akin” (If I didn’t build my name, I have no properties, I am not famous and no one will notice me. At the same time, I will be stupid if I will mind them, so I am just concerned with the people who love me.)

The man can't be moved Music Video and Lyrics

Going Back to the corner
where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag
I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard,
got your picture in my hand
saying, "if you see this girl
can you tell her where I am"

Some try to hand me money,
they don't understand
I'm not broke, I'm just
a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense
but what else can I do?
How can I move on
when I'm still in love with you?



Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Policeman says "son you can't stay here"
I said, "there's someone I'm waiting for
If it's a day, a month, a year"
Gotta stand my ground even if
it rains or snows
If she changes her mind
this is the first place she will go

Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving
I'm not moving, I'm not moving

People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl
ohhh..
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world
ohhh..

Maybe i'll get famous
as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you wont mean to
but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
cuase you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved
Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving
I'm not moving, I'm not moving (x2)

Going Back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move
