Bangs Garcia is Maxim's November cover girl.

Bangs Garcia is the cover girl of Maxim Magazine’s November issue. This girl who used to host a local variety show in Davao has really come a long way. She played an important role in the TV series “Palos” early this year and she’s acting with the teleserye icon Judy Ann Santos in the upcoming series “Humingi Ka Sa Langit” which is her biggest break yet. She will play the role of Judy Ann’s half-sister.

The young actress who was also the “Close-Up to Fame runner-up was also part of the original cast of the gag show “Banana Split” but was pulled out of the project because of a schedule conflict.

Another major highlight in Bangs’ career this year is an endorsement deal with a liquor brand where she was asked to do a sexy calendar pictorial which is a first for her. The photo was shot at the scenic Pearl Farm in Davao.

Acting alongside Piolo Pascual and John Lloyd Cruz is one of the former “Let’s Go” star’s dream projects.

Nationwide Phone Lookup

For me, nothing could be more frustrating and could left you feeling violated than getting a prank call while I’m in the middle of a deep sleep. But can you do something about it?

Now you can. You can now search for the telephone number of the caller so you can find out who just called you. Nationwide Phone Lookup will let you search the database of cell phones and landlines or even unlisted numbers to find more information about the owner. This is also beneficial when tracking an old friend or family member. As a registered member, you'll be able to use expanded people search tools in order to track down the person's most recent address. Even if the last time you called that number was five or ten years ago - you'll be able to find people by phone numbers consistently.

PBB second teen placer Robi Domingo, Monica Yncierto, Chino Lui-Pio, and Bianca Roque were chosen as the newest faces of the number one music channel in the country, among the 12 talented finalists of the MYX VJ Search 2008.

The four finalists couldn’t help but scream with joy when their names were called during the much-awaited finals last night at the activity center of the Trinoma Mall. Though they were crowd favorites, Robi, Monica, Chino, and Bianca admitted that it was definitely a tough contest since the other contenders have shown much potential in hosting as well. The fact that they have also built new friendships along the way only increased their desire to just enjoy their final performance as a group.

The event was a huge success as throngs of people went to see their bets win as well as their favorite OPM bands and artists (Sandwich, Kyla, Hale, Hilera, Nyoy Volante, Sugarfree, and MYMP) perform live.

PDA’s Bugoy and Liezel sign contracts with Star Records.

Two more ex-scholars from the Pinoy Dream Academy season 2 got recording contracts, after Grand Star Dreamer Laarni Lozada. Bugoy Drilon and Liezel Garcia each signed a record deal with Star records last October 17 and both ex-scholars can not contain their excitement that they will soon record their very first albums.

Popular songwriter Vehnee Saturno will be producing the album of Bugoy which he said will establish the young singer’ identity as a performer. “Kasama sa album ‘yung composition ni Ryan Cayabyab na ‘Paano Na Kaya’ and Ryan will be writing another song. The album will contain six cuts. Meron kaming revivals, siguro we’ll be doing two. The rest will be all original pop-R&B,” said Vehnee.

Liezel, however, would rather not make it a big deal about her getting a record deal first over second Star Dreamer Miguel Mendoza.

Star Records Managing Director Annabelle Regalado-Borja expressed how happy she is for the success of the PDA2 ex-scholars in the early stage of their careers. “Star Records is very happy na ‘yung kanta ni Bugoy na ‘Paano Na Kaya’ is number in many radio stations. The PDA2 Sing Cayabyab album is doing very well, number one in all Odyssey retail outlets and is still selling like pancakes.”

High quality slide trax.

I was able to visit a couple of manufacturing plants before and I was always amazed on how their machineries work seamlessly. As I have always been working with computers; I don’t know much about how these machineries work. One thing I know for sure is when these machines fail, companies will lose money.

That is why it is imperative for companies to get the services of a trusted company for all their machinery or conveyor problems. One company in the United States that can be trusted when it comes to machineries is Slideways. They have been helping hundreds of companies in resolving machine and conveyor belt problems. They have been in business since 1994 making standard and custom designed plastic parts, components and bearings, conveyor chain and belt guides.

They also manufacture high quality engineered SlideTrax, plastic intrusions and simple and complex custom designed plastic parts for packaging equipment, conveyor systems, process equipment, bottling and canning and other applications.

A convenient way to build conveyors and refurbish existing ones is to use Slide tracks for side flexing and straight running chain. And the curves can be made of many materials. Visit their website to learn more. You can also get a quote online for particular products.

This is the reason why Winona never entertains the idea of falling in love and just focuses herself caring for her blind father (Dennis Padilla).

After Winona’s 25th birthday, Bong and Winona find a second chance in life but eventually, Bong will discover through a medical exam result that Winona's days are indeed still numbered.

Teaser of "Humingi ako sa Langit"

Award-winning actress Judy Ann Santos is playing the role as Nurse Jane Alcantara on "Humingi Ako Sa Langit". This much-awaited TV series will showcase her acting skills all the more.

The challenge for her is to familiarize herself with the medical terms and the proper handling of patients to make the soap as authentic as possible. It was told that they have professional doctors on the set to make sure that they’re pretty much accurate on the medical aspects of the show, something which will also give the viewers some useful information as well as a good dose of drama.

Through the show, people will also get to appreciate the various struggles of Filipino nurses who desperately want to earn their way to a better quality of life.

On a lighter note, Judy Ann confides that her working relationship with onscreen partner Derek Ramsay is better than ever. After their successful team-up in Ysabella, they continued to be good friends and occasionally sought each other’s advice during tough times.

Adding spice to their romance on Humingi Ako Sa Langit is Will Devaughn’s character. The show’s production manager Ethel Espiritu confides that having a second love interest for Judy Ann—one who’s also tall, dark, and handsome like Derek—happens to be one of the significant threads of the story. For now, however, Juday feels blessed with all the dashing actors that have been cast as her leading men throughout her teleserye career.

Watch the teaser below:

Bugoy Drilon of Pinoy Dream Academy (PDA) Season 2 will share his rags-to-riches story and his struggle to fulfill his dreams in the country’s longest running drama anthology “Maalaala Mo Kaya” (MMK), this coming Saturday, October 11.

Bugoy said that he is thrilled but at the same time anxious for the reactions of television viewers and his family.

The Pinoy Dream academy alumnus said that he was really happy doing his scenes for MMK. He shared that he taped for almost a day and revealed that he would be appearing on the last part of the show.

The singer said that the show is worth watching since they will learn things about poverty, perseverance and success. He appealed to his fans to watch the show and to continue supporting his other projects.

Success may have come to Bugoy, but he said the greatest lesson he learned after all these was that, his father will always be his father no matter whom and what he is. As a son, Bugoy’s unfailing love for his father would always be his greatest achievement.

In MMK, singer Mark Bautista will portray Bugoy. Joining Bautista are stars Malou de Guzman, Soliman Cruz, Paw Diaz, Sarah Palad with the special participation of PDA’s mentor Monet Silvestre, Hansen Nichols, Maria Lizel Garcia and Chivas Garcia.

"Komiks Presents Tiny Tony" will begin on October 11.

Finally, the adventures of “Tiny Tony” will begin on October 11, 2008 replacing “Varga” on “Komiks Presents”. Tiny Tony is another creation of Mars Ravelo. This is welcome news as I personally don’t like “Varga” who has evolved to just another fantasy-love story.

“Komiks presents: Tiny Tony” is top billed by John Prats who will play the role of Tony. The 24-year-old actor said that he is excited to play as Tiny Tony although this is not the first time for him to play a superhero role. He has played superhero roles before in the movies Batang X (1995) and Super Noypi (2006). He said that there’s a big technological difference between the scenes he shoot for Tiny Tony and his previous works.

Tiny Tony revolves around the story of a poor but excessively smart kid, Tony, who was discovered by a scientist (Dr. Peralta) who eventually sponsored his entire schooling. Together, they formulated a secret shrinking solution which was poured over to Tony in an accident. Tony became tiny and killed Dr. Peralta in the process.

Joining Prats' exciting adventures are stars Alex Gonzaga, Coco Martin, Mura, Susan Africa and Gerard Acao with the special participation of Pen Medina, Zaijan Jaranilla, Julius Garesa and Kim Alcantara

"Tiny Tony" is directed by Mr. Dondon Santos.

Watch out for Tiny Tony's adventures as it premieres this coming Saturday, October 11 only on ABS-CBN.

Kamagra tablets and jelly.

The treatment of impotence and erectile dysfunction need not be expensive. It’s a good thing that there is a generic version of the popular treatment for these conditions.

Lucky for you if you called the previous week and you have a scheduled appointment with the doctor but if not, then you have to wait long queues. It’s actually a good sign that people are more and more health-conscious but it’s a bad sign if you are at the end of the queue, waiting to be looked at by the doctor. Besides, consultation fees nowadays are quite expensive.

With the advent of modern technology, consultations can now be done online for certain medical conditions. There are now online clinics for people who do not have time to visit a doctor, where you can also purchase prescriptions accordingly. You can even discuss your condition with doctors online who can prescribe medications. The good news is, the consultation is FREE.

However, you still have to exercise caution when choosing an online clinic. You may encounter clinics that sell medications for very low prices, think twice as these may not be the real thing. Some would even let you purchased medications without proper consultations, for your own safety, stay away from these online clinics.

The Online Clinic is a UK based health provider, their activities are regulated by the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency. They specializes in weight loss treatments, impotence, hair loss and even the latest treatment for you to stop smoking.
