I just found out when Nokia’s PC Suite notified me with an update of their software. Nokia made the new firmware available couple of weeks ago and is only available for the European and Asian version of the N95.
The new Nokia N95 firmware update version 21.0.016 is ready to download (around 118mb) and install with Nokia Software Update utility. You can also visit the nearest Nokia Service center to request for an upgrade if you’re not comfortable on updating your phone on your own.

Mariah Carey’s Ken Lee Song
I think this is old news and I have been left out with this one. Apparently, Mariah Carey has a hit song that I never heard of. This song was used as an audition piece in Brazilian Idol. The song was titled “Ken Lee.” Yes, “Ken Lee!” So, do you have any idea when this song was released?
Here is the lyrics of the song and better search “Ken Lee” from YouTube for you to be amazed with this contestant’s audition piece.

ABS-CBN Summer Station ID
Summer is finally here. I am all sweaty and I can’t endure the summer heat outside. Even the biggest TV networks in the Philippines are summer themed already. The same day ABS-CBN launched their Summer Station ID, TV network rival GMA Network launched their Summer Station ID as well. Whose Station ID is better? ABS-CBN definetely!

O’ Canada What is It About Canada? – Part 2
So, okay…in short, I left Philippines because I just wanted a change of phase. I was tired of the rat race. Canada seemed like a good place to start over. Yup! I left my managerial job in Canada to be a student again in Canada…didn’t mind taking the bus again. Hey, I had to sell my car so I would have enough money to go to Canada…pay the agency, etc. I had to stay up late nights again to study in preparation for my licensure exam. I had to eat chicken wings and Spam because the place that I was staying in Vancouver only allowed a microwave in the room.
I still didn’t answer the question “what is it about Canada,” right? I’ll answer that on Part 3. Well, did you have a similar experience? Let me know. Please feel free to leave your comments.
For the meantime let me give you a peek of Vancouver and Victoria and Tofino in British Columbia, a video posted by SenhordoBonfim in Youtube. Enjoy!

Rachelle Gerodias: Vienna, here she comes
Maria Rachelle Gerodias recently left the country for Austria to perform Liu in Puccini’s famous Turandot. Although she terribly misses the Philippines, she is also very happy to finally arrive at the pinnacle of every classical music artist’s dream – to perform in Vienna, at the Volksoper Wien nonetheless! As an artist who believes that one does not stop from learning, Rachelle sought the help of Carol Byers in preparing her for her role in Turandot and she was convinced to audition for a summer opera festival there. Apparently, she was asked for a third aria, which she said is a good sign.
300 Nurses to Saskatchewan, Canada
It’s for real. Saskatchewan has been having a shortage of nurses. Mainly because of lots of retirees. The baby boomers. Another reason is because of the nurses who left Saskatchewan for another province. Guess what? They are coming back now. It could be because of the new government headed by Premier Brad Wall but Saskatchewan is just booming. People from Alberta who were originally from Saskatchewan are coming back. The new government promised 800 nurses. 300 of them coming from the Philippines. About 90 plus nurses were recruited sometime in November. The second recruitment was done in March for another 295. All I can say is to my kababayans, “Welcome to Saskatchewan!!!…nothing is easy. Adjustment takes time. And..there’s a reason for everything…” Hope your stay in Saskatchewan and Canada becomes a gateway for you to start your successful lives.

Offstage with Rachelle Gerodias
Just like any other ordinary Pinay, Rachelle also dreams, but unlike most ordinary Pinays, Rachelle stretches bones and muscles to reach for that dream.
Her story is unlike many other celebrity story, Rachelle wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth nor was she spoiled rotten by indulging parents. Her rise to stardom is one of hard work, a series of self discoveries, trials, failures and successes.
