Xavier University Manresa Campus
Asian Carmakers Corp., the official distributor of BMW vehicles in Philippines, is hoping to arm more Filipinos with technical and industrial skills through an additional training facility to be established in Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro City.
The company has contributed P72.3 million for the construction of the Jose Ch. Alvarez (JCA) Technology Complex reportedly inside the Manresa campus. The university’s Center for Industrial Technology (CIT) will be transferred to the said facility which is expected to be completed next year.
Students enrolled in the programs to be offered at the JCA Technology Complex will have the option to train in BMW dealerships. They also have a chance to be absorbed by the company.
“I personally believe in the value of having good education and I recognize the talent of the Filipino youth and their need for progressive educational institutions,” Asian Carmakers chairman Jose Ch. Alvarez said.
The JCA Technology Complex will offer automotive technology as one of its courses and students enrolled in this program have the option to undergo training at different BMW dealerships and eventually get absorbed into the company

Celine Dion's Aquatic Wonderland!
Celine Dion and her husband Rene Angelil recently had a mansion constructed for their family in Florida. This new project costed the couple $20million (£13.9million) and a lot of neighborhood racket. An aquatic wonderland, this 9,825 square feet home is also located in the proximity of the ocean. Its exact location is on Jupiter Island, where some of the wealthiest stars live. The miniature water park includes two pools, two water slides and a small river with a generated current in order to carry the water around, which makes the total water amount needed for the system to work equal to 500,000 gallons. Apparently the construction of the house brought some serious complains from the community, as the construction of this system led to a drought on the island. The residence houses eight bedrooms, an underground garage, a large wardrobe and a gym. We are looking forward to your impressions on this post.
wowowoweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Drecktitude Gaga!
That is what happens when you try too hard! I knew she couldn’t walk in these damn things she likes to call shoes , I wish I could’ve seen this on video.
The always outrageous Lady Gaga wearing massive platform boots tripped and fell at Heathrow Airport in London Wednesday morning. The Poker Face singer had just flown into London from New York City when she lost her footing. Fortunately, she wasn’t bruised, other than her pride possibly.

Preview Magazine criticize by foreign watch cats on a Alexander Mcqueen rip off cover
Okey, after browsing some fanpages in facebook I track upon on a forum bashing on the latest cover of Preview Magazine. It is in the TheFasshionSpot.com forum.
Weeks before this issue came out, I already have an idea that Preview will take a lead on having tribute of the late Alexander McQueen. Now the time comes and preview fans (such as myself) grab a copy of this fashion bible. As I scan and read through the pages, I must say that the current issue, June 2010 is there best by far in terms of fashion statement, fashion reports 101, beauty and health area, latest gossip and all that jazz. And the premier of Preview Men envelope the aesthetic of a bold and provocative fashion magazine.
But just so you know, the tribute of McQueen was a 'shameless, embarassing knock-off' to some other foreign fashion cats. Some of their comments I find it very offensive but behind their messages tells a story of what really conspires the message: Truth Hurts. And yes, I definitely understood and balance the momentum of both the critiques and preview mag team.
Here are some of the comments from other foreign cats:
i don't get the dress - diorrnottwarr, Boston
the idea was good but the knockoff factor and some of the fonts leave it wanting - Urban Stylin, Africa
People bitch and moan about how bad Vogue Taiwan is, but not a word about how atrocious this magazine is? LOL. God damn what a cheap looking magazine. - Blueorchid, Canada
I don't like it! The dress looks like if it was photoshoped - Lizzy.P, Spain
LOL this is hilarious. It says "Tribute to McQueen" but they put a McQueen rip-off in the cover. Hahaha.. - Bengt
Comments from Pinoys:
I don't like it. But I love Georgina and she looks pretty good. No actual McQueen pieces are featured inside. This cover could've been way better. - GioDion
I love Georgina, but I don't like the cover. And that McQueen knockoff is sooo embarrassing. Preview's getting boring for me. Their content isn't as great as before. - electrichearts
I'm sorry I can no longer contain myself. I really have A LOT of things to say about this cover.
I don't have anything against Georgina Wilson but this magazine cover SCREAMS FASHION RIP OFF!
First: I find her pose highly generic! The photo looks like a far 5th copy of an editorial/feature from Elle.
*Although, I don't even think any recognized international magazine would have something as ugly and generic as this.
Second: Her GENERIC hair and make-up makes her look like a bigger version of Raquel Zimmerman.
Third: The color scheme and cover lines are always too playful, tacky, repetitive and uncreative! Everything about it just screams attention!
Fourth: That God Damn Dress!!!
seriously? You think this is a "way" of showcasing a tribute? Preview is just cost cutting and just instructing a backwater "designer" to rip a certain designer off from their designs because they don't want to spend money to save their worthless name.
Has anyone bumped their head and forgot about "Balmain" for Maricel Soriano?
Moreover!!! I think I should stop... because honestly, WHO EVEN BUYS THIS TRASH?!?!?! - ILoveMissJKO
Just like what I said, I understood why they rant like this and also for Preview Magazine to keep up their worth as a Best-selling Fashion Magazine in the country.
Who knows, some might read this from Alexander McQueen Team and lend you a real McQueen extraordinary pieces! :-)
for those who cant catch it yet, here's the Preview June Cover
and here's another lay-out by Joshua Abapo in a real McQueen dress on the cover using the same cover letters of Preview minus the Georgina Wilson name. The model is FREJA

Miss Universe 2008 visit the Philippines
Despite drawing flak for some glitches and amid a handful of election protests, Smartmatic officials brought to the country a beauty from their homeland Venezuela as a “token of gratitude” for allowing them to become part of the Philippines’ first automated polls.
Miss Universe 2008, Dayana Mendoza, visited the country as Smartmatic’s “Ambassador of Transparency.”
“I’m very excited about the Philippines. I do want to congratulate you guys for the successful elections,” the 5’9″ stunner told a press conference Tuesday.
Smarmatic’s Global Chief Executive Officer Antonio Mugica said Mendoza’s visit was also to show how much they appreciate the success of the automated elections.
“It has already become a worldwide reference for automated elections,” said Mugica, who also noted that the recently concluded election was “the most complex and the most advanced automated elections in the world.”
Mendoza is also set to visit Tondo to help Smarmatic carry out their social causes, including the distribution of at least 50 laptops in a public school in Tondo, Manila.
Prior to winning the world’s most prestigious beauty pageant, Mendoza was a model in Venezuela.
