D’s Side…

Another BIG winner was added to the list of “Kuya” and from Pola, Oriental Mindoro native Ejay Falcon was named the “Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus Big Winner” Saturday at the Araneta Coliseum. Just watching the second to the last episode, there is a segment where they review the BIG 4 before and during inside the house of “Kuya”, I was convinced, I’ve picked Ejay and for me he was the most deserving winner. He has changed a lot compared to others and his life was not that easy outside the house of “Kuya”. Domingo finished second, Fil-Chinese Uysiuseng placed third, and Dumaguete-born Gonzalez rounded up the top four.

Falcon, who will join the roster of ABS-CBN talents, takes home the grand prize of P1 million, a business franchise and a house and lot, among others.

After 19 weeks the American Idol Season 7 has already ended and the new American Idol is none other than, the rocker, the former bartender and my favorite of the the Top 12, DAVID COOK!. The show casted a world breaking record of votes, the number is 97.5 million and 56% percent of this is for David Cook.

The night was filled with big stars George Micheal, Jordin Sparks, “Idol” contestant and name-brand pairings: Cook with ZZ Top, Archuleta with OneRepublic, Bryan Adams with the top six male singers and Brooke White with Graham Nash. The interesting part of the show was when Simon Cowell was reduced to apologizing to Cook for casting him as an also-ran to Archuleta the night before.

For me I really like that David Cook was the winner, David Archuleta was also deserving if he could have got it. At his age now, he has a long journey that awaits. For David Cook, congratulations and I’m looking forward for his aIbum. Hehe! Lastly, I would like repeat what Simon said in his last words and for me it was very fair and interesting, Simon said “For me this is the first time ever, I don’t really care who wins!.”

Here’s a press release from Dattebayo the creator of animes namely Naruto, Bleach and etc. Ive not pasted it all. All they want is stop the fans/upploaders from uploading their animes at Veoh, YouTube, Crunchyroll and etc. WAW!..I hope the uploaders would listen to this so that we could enjoy more of their animes..

Dear leechers,

We have warned everyone repeatedly on the issue of streaming our subs.

We sincerely appreciate everyone’s efforts to spread the Naruto/Bleach love, but were growing increasingly frustrated, not to mention worried, over our repeatedly ignored requests not to upload our material to Veoh, Youtube and other streaming sites.

Perhaps you guys aren’t aware, but the flagrant disregard for our requests puts us in an increasingly vulnerable position as a fansubbing group. We don’t want to be shut down (which is something we are in constant threat of) and if our rules are not honored, we may well be.

Therefore we once again make this request:

• Please do NOT upload any of our released episodes to streaming sites.

Since it’s hard to get people to comply just by writing in these news, we need to get your attention. So effective immediately, we are forced to stop releasing our subtitled episodes for ALL our current projects until the request is met, full stop. This includes Naruto, Bleach, Pitagora Switch and Pokemon.

We regret that we have to take such a drastic stance, but our requests have gone ignored for years. There’s not much more we can do to protect ourselves and to continue bringing these episodes to fans, but we believe that taking these precautions now will keep us operational for the long run. And we hope to keep bringing these episodes to English-speaking fans for a long time. Please help us by abiding by our rules.

Here’s the issue: Dattebayo translates and subtitles anime, and released the episodes for public download on our website. Lots of well-meaning fans then take these Dattebayo episodes, re-encode / cut them into parts and upload them onto streaming sites like Youtube or Veoh. THIS IS BAD. The reason is not because Dattebayo is stupid or annoying or mean.

1. It’s disrespectful to the subbers’ wishes, but more importantly,
2. Fansubbing is not legal, and with the popularity of Naruto/Bleach growing, legitimate companies have licensed them for DVD releases outside of Japan.

That makes fansubbers a target - although Dattebayo makes no money, legally the companies have all the right to shut us down. Because Dattebayo is a prominent fansubbing group, it’s at constant risk and legal threat. When you put videos on Veoh/Youtube, that exposes the group and makes it a big target.

To this end, Dattebayo has politely and repeatedly asked uploaders on many streaming sites to STOP UPLOADING our files. Many people assume that the uploaders have Dattebayo’s permission, but that’s not true. The uploaders have basically ignored all polite requests to stop. With recent changes to Youtube "copyright enforcement" policy, it’s nearly impossible to get Dattebayo material removed once it’s been uploaded, therefore leaving our work in horrible quality for everyone to view.

Which is why Dattebayo has decided that we will put a hold on all our subtitled episode releases until the uploaders comply. We’ve been way too nice so far by letting this issue slide, but this is the end. Here’s our (repeated) request to everyone who butchers our work by uploading it to streaming sites. STOP. If you’re an uploader, please DO NOT UPLOAD DATTEBAYO SUBS to any more streaming sites. If you’re guilty of doing this in the past, and your streaming site account is still valid, GO AND DELETE ALL THE DATTEBAYO VIDEOS WHICH BELONG TO YOUR ACCOUNT. We NEVER gave ANYONE permission to upload our work to ANY STREAMING SITE. If you’re not an uploader and want to help, flag our work you find on streaming sites as copyright infringement, send private message to uploader asking to remove content, etc. This is probably futile due to immense amount of idiots who are unable to read yet are able to figure out how to click "upload" button, but it doesn’t hurt to try.

Asian Idol is a singing competition featuring the winners of idol competitions from six Asian countries namely; India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam, It was won by Singapore Idol Hady Mirza , who was awarded an international recording contract and a free trip around the world. The competition was held at Jakarta Indonesia last December 15 and 16 2007. Every country in the competition has one representative as judged, in the Philippines was Pilita Corales. It was also aired in ABC5 in the Philippines. The system of voting is the viewers will choose two favorite idols and the score will be 50% from the judge and 50% from text votes.

I really didn’t expect that the Singaporean Idol would bring home the title cause for me my winner would either be Mau Marcelo of the Philippines or Mike Mohede of Indonesia. They both showed a lot of talent and professionalism in performing and singing. Almost all the judges and the congregation choose Mau or Mike as their winner. Even though my bet didnt made it, still they are all now the singing idol accross Asia and world!. This proves that Asians also have the best talents in singing!..

"That Night, A Forest Grew"
No.1 A written manifesto from the "Bay Harbor Butcher" sends the Special Task Force in charge of capturing the killer into chaos but agent Lundy was able to track down the plan of Dexter and made conclusion that the "Bay Harbor Butcher" has Law Enforcement Background meaning he is one of them.

No.2 The relationship between Dexter and Lila became more deeper Lila was very afraid that Dexter would come back to Rita. Agent Lundy and Debra was on thier way to a love affair. Maybe.

No.3 Sgt. Doakes was out of the job. When he crossed the line, Dexter was so mad, using his intelligence, Dexter made a good setup to Sgt. Lundy and then after that, he was out!.
