<div style="text-align: justify;">
The show is composed of both human and puppet characters on a CGI environment. The show tells the story of Lazytown, together with it citizens that we're kept lazy at all cost by the show's antagonist Robbie Rotten. Upon arrival of Stephanie to the town and the town's lookout hero Sportacus, they'll do everything to change the way of living of Lazytown's citizens. The main message of the show usually revolves on promoting a good and healthy lifestyle for children like doing exercise, and eating a good and balanced diet everyday. Aside from its health-related messages to its audiences, Lazytown also shows episodes that shows basic life lessons for children. The show premiered on August 2004 starting with its debut season, 2006 for the second season, 2013 for the third season, and 2014 for the fourth season. Currently, as of this time, there are no news if there is a latest season on plan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every episode usually revolves on anything that is related to healthy lifestyle: doing sports, being physically active, doing exercise, playing outside, eating fruits and vegetables (In the show, these are referred to as SportsCandy). Some episodes also tackles values like honesty, value of friendship, teamwork, and being socially active. To make every episode very pleasing to the young audiences, every episode is usually accompanied with songs and dance to make it very catchy to the audiences.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Over the years since its creation in 2004, Lazytown had been <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0396991/awards" target="_blank">nominated</a> to different awards, winning some of them. Sadly as of this time, Lazytown was last shown here in the Philippines way back 2008 and some new episodes from the Seasons 3 and 4 are all accessible on YouTube.</div>

#‎NasaanAngCake‬ - A Goldilocks Billboard Mystery

<p><div style="text-align: justify;">
Manila, just like other cities is also a ground for millions of small and big advertisement billboards. Billboards are used by companies in order to promote their products and services to the consumers. Somehow, these billboards as well can always get the attention of anyone, especially if it contains "a sort of" mystery.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While I am browsing my Facebook account, one post had got my attention. It shows a billboard of Goldilocks that has a cut outline of a cake in it. Literally, the cake layout has been cut that one can even see the skeletal support of the billboard behind. To understand the look of the billboard of Goldilocks, here is a photo courtesy from the post of Facebook user Alan German.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidjQ4gGSJKMMc05eBWad02kOau7MEiO0IwoHnPLnDdNcYwaHCYn1CmLO9nJSNDTkbcN2-YmZeI-btxDbul12bZJPztcZBjydl_xemEOrLruxgXfD4An4Pk6omVi7EEcFmliONW9P_fDPvd/s400/13331108_877688619021338_7823142841045219126_n.jpg" width="400" /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Quoted in this photo:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;">Okay, </span><a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=81789923849" href="https://www.facebook.com/GoldilocksPH/" style="background-color: white; color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none;">Goldilocks</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;">... Is there something we should know? I think you forgot the most important part of the billboard. </span><a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/nasaanangcake?source=feed_text&story_id=877688499021350" style="background-color: white; color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none;"><span aria-label="hashtag" class="_58cl" style="color: #4267b2;">‪#‎</span><span class="_58cm">NasaanAngCake‬</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;"></span><a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/whotookthecake?source=feed_text&story_id=877688499021350" style="background-color: white; color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none;"><span aria-label="hashtag" class="_58cl" style="color: #4267b2;">‪#‎</span><span class="_58cm">WhoTookTheCake‬</span></a></i></blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The billboard had sparked curiosity among netizens. These billboards had been seen all over Manila, with netizens commenting that they saw such in Araneta Cubao, SLEX Alabang, Greenhills as well as near UST Espana. Some had even gave their answers on where the cake is. Some say that the billboard is somehow, hints the consumers of a possible new gimmick of Goldilocks, others say that Goldilocks might be launching a promo in their cakes. One netizen in the name of Joe Adaro said that Goldilocks is celebrating its anniversary with this gimmick off their billboards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In my opinion, this is another great marketing strategy of Goldilocks. Way back in this site, we also featured a related article that shows mystery on billboards. Maybe Goldilocks is going to undergo product rebranding. Maybe as well that they are off to feature a new cake product, or maybe a large scale promo for all their customers. Whatever is the mystery behind, everyone is willing to answer their curiosity. #NasaanAngCake #WhoTookTheCake</div>

a Zero becoming a Hero, or man struggles to be rich, He is not funny, or

<span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-PH" style="background: white; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Winston Groom wrote the 1896 novel, Forrest Gump, an optimist
in the face of strong opposing evidence, despite of being “stupid” he became a
character that everyone will love and remembered. It is Robert Zemeckis, the
director places Forrest in different historical event, and it is Tom Hanks who
brings humour and humanity in the character “Forrest Gump”. Those 3 make the
film really amazing. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

American Character, and show irony that nobody can stand around him for long.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Forrest Gump won 6 Academy awards including Best Picture,
Best Actor and Best Director. They have also other 38 wins and 44 nominations
in other Major Film Festivals around the world. Have a total gross $670 million
dollars all over the world. It also ranked #18 in Top 250 Films of all time.
The film is definitely a win-win and as Forrest’s Mama always said you will
never know what you can get.</span></p>

Reasons Why Miriam Defensor-Santiago Was Least Voted For Philippine Presidency

<p><div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">The Philippine National Election is almost in near finish. 53+ million voters had already casted their votes to elect the new government officials that will serve them for the next three or six years (In case of the president, the vice president, and the 12 senators). So far in the unofficial tallies as of this moment, it is the Mayor of Davao City, Rodrigo Duterte that leads the presidency while the Representative of the Third District of Camarines Sur, Leni Robredo leads the vice presidency with a small margin against Senator Bongbong Marcos.</span></div>

As a voter myself, I also casted my votes on the precint where I am voting, somewhere here in Makati. I voted, of course, Rodrigo Duterte and Bongbong Marcos as my vice president. After I vote, I just spent the day waiting for the election results and the results shown on TV were.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Rodrigo Duterte</li>
<li>Mar Roxas</li>
<li>Grace Poe</li>
<li>Jojo Binay</li>
<li>Miriam Defensor-Santiago</li>
<li>Roy Señeres</li>
</ol>
<div>
I am satisfied of the result that was shown on the television but it also made me notice that Miriam Defensor-Santiago is on the second to the last rank. As I researched her <a href="http://miriam.com.ph/aboutmiriam.php" target="_blank">background</a>, on all the presidential candidates, she is the most qualified. Rodrigo Duterte comes second to her. The election result that was shown had made me conclude these reasons on why Miriam was least voted for Philippine Presidency.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><b>She has the least exposure.</b><br />Yes, indeed she has the least exposure on the campaigns. In my observations from the start of the campaign, I didn't even managed to see a "Miriam for President" TV campaign. Same on the radios. I didn't even managed to hear such campaign. What she did was just show herself on the debates and explain her platform on different issues in our country and also, she appeared as guest speakers of some conferences and some school-related activities. Another thing is that she used the social media and its youth users to campaign for her, thus made her the least (None at all rather) spender on the presidential campaign.</li>
<li><b>She has cancer, she'll die in office.</b><br />This reason was made out by those persons who didn't voted her. She was not voted because she is sick? On all the reasons I listed here, this is the most unreasonable. As I can see on the personality of Miriam, I know she can overcome anything in order to serve the country and cancer is just a little problem for her. Yes, we care for her that's why we didn't voted for her but she cares a lot for the Filipino people that she decided to run for presidency even if her body is infested by cancer.</li>
<li><b>She picked Bongbong Marcos as her tandem for vice president.</b><br />I think everyone (Especially the Martial Law victims) was shocked when she announced that she will go a collaboration with Bongbong Marcos on the campaign going to the Malacañang. I know she had the valid reasons for picking him as her tandem and no one would even attempt to question it to her. Bongbong Marcos was even her student way back, but as we all know, Marcoses (The family itself) had created a very negative hype to the Filipinos because of the Martial Law, the assasination of Ninoy Aquino, as well as the ill-gotten wealth of their family. Knowing that she will have a tandem with a Marcos, it became a large factor that made her the least to be voted in the elections.</li>
<li><b>The Filipino Perfectionist Stereotype</b><br /><b>(This part is my own opinion already)</b> We all know that Miriam is a very intelligent person, No one even managed to go mudslinging with Miriam because of her intelligence. This intelligence she possess is one of the reasons why she is the most qualified to run the Philippines as its president, but this intelligence is also the reason as well why she is the least voted in the elections. Filipinos had stereotyped her as a perfectionist, and will not listen to the Filipino people if they had ideas that are helpful but not perfect. Most of the Filipinos are poor and somehow, want themselves to have a comfortable life under a good-governing president. These Filipinos feel that Miriam deserves to be president but because of stereotyping, they feel that if she wins, she'll just ignore their ideas for a comfortable life because it was not perfect or good after all, and it will not give a win-win result. Miriam is known to decisions that favors both parties a win-win result but with an attitude of Filipinos "that wants to gain the upperhand at all times", I think that made Filipinos stererotype the highly intelligent Miriam.</li>
</ol>
<div>
She had already ran for presidency for three times on different ocassions, She was defeated by Fidel V. Ramos in 1992, by Joseph Estrada in 1998, and this 2016 by Rodrigo Duterte. Because of the results of the past presidential elections she participated in, she was dubbed in social media <i>"The Best Philippine President We Never Had"</i>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So far, I don't have a credible source if she will retire in politics after this. Somehow, she had long served the Philippines already for so long.</div>
