Orionid Meteor Shower Tonight!

It's going to rain meteors tonight! Peak view times of the Orionid meteor shower will be tonight (October 20, 2009) until Wednesday (October 21, 2009) morning.

The Orionid meteor shower occurs when Earth passes through comet debris left by the Halley's comet. If we are lucky enough to have a darker and clearer sky tonight, more stars will be out and visible. It is expected that shooting stars will appear in the sky every hour. The best time to look for these meteors is between midnight (1 a.m. daylight savings time) and dawn of the next day.

So yes, prepare your hundreds of wishes!

Full House Remake in GMA 7

GMA is set to have an adaptation of the favorite Korean hit series Full House. The role of Rain will be played by Richard Gutierrez. But the BIG question is who will play Song Hye Kyo's?

Some rumors are pointing at Jennylyn Mercado while some Heart Evangelista fans shout her name. But the first name that has been dragged along was Marian Rivera and due to her busy schedule, she did not accept the role.

I have never been a fan of Heart so I would'nt be so glad if she would win.:) This role is supposed to be funny and bubbly, and among the three, I think Marian fits the role best.

Full House is a story of two very different people who were destined to learn to love each other in a marriage agreed only on paper.

It's basically a protocol designed to combine social networking (facebook!), online forums, emails, IMs, wikis and the like. It is even predicted that people or the millions of web surfers would just be content to "ride the wave". Key technologies of the Wave include Natural language processors, Real-time collaboration and it could add live social gadgets.

Initially, 100,000 users were given the chance to use it and each of them were allowed to invite up to eight more users. If you're lucky, then you must have the controversial Wave account (Apparently, I'm not that lucky T_T). Even hundreds are willing to pay just to have the account.

Ralph Lauren Model Fired For Being Too Fat

A former Ralph Lauren model, Filippa Hamilton, revealed that she was fired for being too fat. She reasoned, "They fired me because they said I was overweight and I couldn't fit in their clothes anymore". She was recently pictured in a Japanese magazine with an edited photo which she thought was very disappointing.

Now her photo spreads in the Internet and all she wants is a big apology from the company. "I saw my face on this super extremely skinny girl, which is not me. It makes me sad. It makes me think that Ralph Lauren wants to have this kind of image... It's not healthy and it's not right.", told Hamilton in Today.
