Ferrari Cars Giveaway - Winner announcement!

My ride. Lol! Ferrari Cars Giveaway! In Reyjr.com's first giveaway ever, I wish I was giving away the car pictured above - but don't fret because I am giving away the next best thing (LoL!): 2 Shell Ferrari model cars : a 612 Scaglietti and a 599 GTB Fiorano . I realized I already had the whole set, so might as well give these 2 away to one of my lucky blog readers. :D It's not a contest, but I do want to give it to who really wants it most. :) Here are the very simple mechanics:

I survived iBlog7: The show must go on!

Image
How cool is it that I get to share with you all what went down before our iBlog7 intermission number? ;) Such is the awesomeness of being a blogger.  Hehehe. The iBlog7 Experience - the show must go on! In show business, we always say "The show must go on!", a credo all performers have learned and internalized, myself being no exception. On April 2, the 2nd and final day of iBlog7: The 7th Philippine Blogging Summit , I was set to sing a few songs as an intermission number with my choirmates in The U.P. Concert Chorus . But as fate would have it, just 5 days before that, I completely lost my voice...

iBlog7: The 7th Philippine Blogging Summit - See you there!

Image
I can hardly believe how fast my blogging year went by. I was at iBlog6  last year, attending the annual event for the first time. Now I'm going for the second time - I know a quite a few more people now than I did last year, and so hopefully I won't feel as awkward, haha. :p But do say hello if you happen to recognize me. I promise to do the same... I am looking forward to seeing some people I already know - Blogging couple EJ and Ginger Arboleda, my friend Roy de la Cruz and former schoolmate Jonel Uy will be presentors at iBlog, and Flow Galindez will be hosting - apart from them though, I really have no idea who else is coming. :p Are you going to iBlog7??? If you are, then I will see you there on Saturday! (I can only go on the 2nd day). By the way, I will also be performing an intermission number with the UP Concert Chorus ( UPCC ) again this year. UPCC is the Official Choir of the University of the Philippines and we are celebrating the group's 50th Anniversar...

Understanding the Role of Stock Inventories in Oil Pricing

Image
The Press Release below was issued on March 4, 2011 by Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corp. in an effort to address questions raised about why prices are increasing based on global oil prices when they still have inventory of crude bought at a lower price. To summarize the article below the answers are: 1. To ensure price transparency - it is the norm in open markets in other countries as well 2. In response to market competition (i.e. refiners vs importers) In addition, crude is bought on a continuous basis, and so while the crude bought at a lower price 3 months ago is being sold at a higher price now, say a month from now when the oil prices go down, the crude bought at a higher price today will then be sold at a loss by the oil companies. Anyway, onto the article. It explains it in more details. I encourage you to remove your bias for a second and try to read objectively and understand...
