Tropical Storm Mirinae is bound to hit Northern and Central Luzon. Another typhoon.. I just hope it changes course. Many of us haven't recovered yet from the two previous typhoons that hit us..

Bridgit Mendler

A new talent joins the constellation of stars of Disney, following the steps of Vanessa Anne Hudgens, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, and Selena Gomez. Her name: Bridgit Mendler.

Brigdit plays Penny in Disney Channel's JONAS, and Juliet Van Heusen on Wizards of Waverly Place. She will soon have her own show called Good Luck Charlie, which is targeted to be shown in April of next year.

She is also included in the cast of Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, which is set to be released in December and also stars our very own Charice Pempengco as herself.

Vista OS

I'm thinking of getting myself a Vista Home Basic OS for my laptop. The Vista Starter OS that came with it seems to simply not be sufficient for all the things that I do. The Stater pack only allows three programs to be run simultaneously. It's quite irritating trying to open an application, only to find on the screen a pop-up message saying that I cannot do so unless I close any one of those currently running. haayy... I just hope I have enough money to buy me a licensed Home edition..

Aftermath

Good thing the weather is better now. We do not need any more rains. There are areas in Manila and in the northern part of Luzon that are still submerged in water because of the two terrible typhoons that had come. To most of us who are ok, there are still people to be helped, houses to be rebuilt, and lives to be restored. Let us do our share in this task.
