What is Metanoia?
Literally, it is a Greek word meaning “change of mind”. Yet the full meaning is somewhat more. In the New Testament, the word metanoia is often translated as “repentance”G3341. But this kind of repentance is not only about regret or guilt or shame; it implies making a decision to turn around, to face a new direction. To turn toward the light.

Janette Toral started this on May 21, 2007. This only shows how "slow" I am in news around the blogosphere that's why I'm posting my pick just now.
(Although, personally, I think that the title "The Top 10 …" is quite too early to conclude & use for nomination period and is probably more appropriate to be use after the result of the final review on August 1, 2007—so, I just use this blogpost title without "The Top" in it.)
The rules said "any blog in the world can be picked (10 or less)". So I'm considering nominating non-Pinoy bloggers but I don't keep a nice bookmark of all I've seen so far. Perhaps, I'll just pick mostly Pinoys muna, and update my list soon.
I just want to share you this. Here's a draft list of all that I can remember, that I've watched/read or still watching/reading.
(3D Animated Films are not included here)

…probably.
I don't know if you've seen this already, or not.
But you can just watch it again, right?
This live news reporting via the prestigious Philippine TV Network: GMA 7's 'SAKSI', an ace reporter Michael Fajatin really made many people laughed and wondered …
"what the heck is going into his mind!"
Curious, eh? Try watching this. Enjoy!

SweetPerceptions tagged me. So, without so much intro, let's get this thing meme going.
1. I am both insomniac and hypersomniac. (Though I am not medically diagnosed)
2. I don't drink coffee with cream. I like drinking coffee without sugar.
3. I like listening to songs that I don't understand the lyrics.
4. I love looking at the vast sky or listening to the pouring rains. Because when I do, I feel calm and I can think a lot of things.
5. I can live without computers, internet, tv, money, cellphones, chocolates, fancy clothes, and many other material stuffs that most people are addicted to. (Kung 'yung mga taong grasa nga sa kalye nabubuhay ng walang ganun. O 'yung mga nasa Africa na minsan lang kumain ay nabubuhay pa rin kahit wala sila nun, ako pa kaya ang hindi?)
6. I can forget things easily if I want to, or remember things if I want to.
Example:
If I want to remember a long list of information, dates, names, terminologies, etc. in school, I'll just cram a day before or on the actual day of exam. And after that, I'll just discard those bunch of info from my head considering I can use many reference materials later if I need those again.
7. I'm so timid to ask someone who owes me to pay me back. So if I lent someone, I never expect it to be returned. I just lend and forget.
8. I am usually online in my instant messenger, but in stealth mode.
9. I can go without taking baths for a week. I can also take baths 7 times in just a day.
10. I can look straight to the sun without blinking for a minute or so.
11. I was dared to eat papers, and I did.
12. I'm good at 'dance dance revo', but I'm bad in real dancing.
13. I don't know how to ride a bike. We had 2 bicycles at home, but I never tried to learn riding it.
14. I also watch horror movies, shocking scenes, even morbid stuffs to test if I will be surprised, shocked, or screamed. But unfortunately, I never was.
15. To be honest, I'm a liar.
I'm finished. Now I'm tagging Crosfeet, Maki, Cortez, Ceefive, and Saturn
This was announced earlier in news than my knowledge, so sorry for this late post.
And I just happen to found Rico Blanco's Blog on Multiply.com and read his message saying:
Dear friends, i am no longer with the band and management of rivermaya. I have been with the group from the start, and after 14 great years, I am now quite excited about the chance to finally do other things with my life, pursue endeavors outside of the entertainment spotlight. This is a desire I have made known to my group as early as 2005 and have already postponed several times. I will surely miss the music and the fans and will always cherish the experience. I hope you will continue supporting the group and the whole of opm. My work is done. Thank you for all your incredible love and support.
He said, he's been desiring to leave as early as 2005, so I guess, that's a really rigid decision.
From all his fans, including me, we'll say:
Thanks for those music. And wish you luck to your other endeavors, Rico.
