Gateway ML3109 Notebook Drivers for Windows XP

If you happen to buy a Gateway ML3109 Notebook some years ago, you might realize that too bad it is packed with Windows Vista Home Basic Edition with just 512MB RAM.  Such OS eats a lot of RAM, making the system very slow and groggy.

PGT 3: Bringas Brothers

Last July 9, 2011, ABS-CBN’s Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3 featured the Bringas brothers (Jefferson and Kurt Bringas), as they performed Peter Cetera hit "After All' and were successfully accepted during the Mindanao audition. These two brothers are acoustic musicians from Bansalan, Davao Del Sur, Philippines. But along with their great talent, lies a moving story that would touch everyone’s heart. Kurt Bringas got a stage-four bone cancer and his left leg was amputated when he was 19. According to the doctors then, the cancer had already spread in his major organs and told him that he had only one month to live. He is now 25 and considers the incident as a miracle. As Kris Aquino stated, these guys will definitely become stars.

Bob Ong: Astig Pinoy Author

Bob Ong is known for his writings with an element of comedy in them. His readers can easily relate to his works as it replicates Filipino culture and traditions.

So far, six of the books he had published have surpassed a quarter of a million copies.

But for those who may not know, Bob Ong is just a pseudonym. It came about when he put up the Bobong Pinoy website years ago while working as a teacher and web developer at the same time. The name just evolved out of playing of words that was the BobOng Pinoy website. Then, someone contacted him after being mistaken as the actual person named Bob Ong. From then on, his famous pseudonym was born. Until now, the real person behind the Bob Ong pseudonym is still not known to many but they still buy his books. This may mean that his identity is not that important, it is his writing that matters.

Isang Kakaibang Kwento ng Pag-ibig

Last February 13, 2011 at 10:30 pm, ABS-CBN Channel 2 aired “Cheche Lazaro Presents: Isang Kakaibang Kwento ng Pag-ibig.” This is a very inspiring story that explores and shows the sacrificial love of a wealthy couple to the despised people of a remote place in Mindoro. 

The Irayas, one of the seven tribes of the peace-loving Mangyans in Mindoro, have been treated as second class citizens just like any other indigenous people. They are often exploited, neglected, discriminated, and denied of basic services for decades. Basically, they are uneducated and uncivilized. But an accidental meeting with a woman, whose generosity is far beyond one’s imagination, changed the course of their history. Witness a different kind of love story of people who have been shunned by the outside world and the person who would move mountains for them.
