The story begins at Marine HQ where Vice Admiral Garp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku witness Shiki’s ship floating in the sky overhead. Shiki uses a power to lift all the marine vessels into the sky, then drops them before departing, saying that this is a warning.

Next, Luffy is seen, currently on an island floating in the sky, and being chased by a crocodile like monster. This monster is overcome by another, which in turn battles another several times while Luffy watches until he finally briefly battles and defeats the final victor, a bear like creature, using his Gear 3rd. It is revealed that the various members of the Straw hat crew are separated around the floating island, Sanji with Ussop, Zoro with Chopper, and finally Robin, Franky, and Brook together who are all encountering similar monstrous animals.

Nami, meanwhile, is first shown swimming in a large swimming pool. Shiki and his henchmen enter, where it is revealed that she has been taken to this place against her will and the scene flashes back to several days earlier. On board Sunny Go, the Straw Hats read news of an attack on East Blue. Luffy says they will return to East Blue to protect it when Shiki’s ship appears overhead. Nami feels the weather changing and warns of a coming storm. Luffy calls out to Shiki ship, attempting to warn them, gaining Shiki’s attention. Shiki sends down a tone dial to record the warning. His own navigators initially disagree that a storm is approaching, but it does indeed appear and with Nami’s direction, both ships successfully escape it. Afterward, Shiki shoots his navigator, and comes down to the Sunny Go to meet Nami. There he reveals he has a Devil Fruit power to make any inanimate object he touches ignore gravity and float. After learning it was Nami that delivered the warning, and that they are headed to East Blue, Shiki offers to take them there and uses his power on Sunny Go. Together the two ships travel to the floating island seen before where Shiki suddenly kidnaps Nami. The others try to rescue her, but by controlling the Sunny Go using his power he escapes them, as well as scattering them among the fragments of the island.

Back in the present, Shiki asks Nami to become his navigator but she refuses. Dr. Indigo appears with an ‘evolved’ bird, called Biri, that can use electricity, demonstrating it to Shiki, but after being shocked by it, Shiki tosses it aside. It is explained that a plant here, called IQ, can cause animals to evolve very rabidly, making them very strong. Nami protects Biri, and the bird is left with her as Shiki and his men leave.

Elsewhere, Sanji and Ussop fight off various animals while Sanji searches for Robin and Nami, eventually falling from one island fragment to another, ending up in a lake just next to a village. Meanwhile Zoro and Chopper rescue a young girl, Xiao, and are lead to her village and are told about the large poisonous plants around the village that emit a sink so powerful that the animals stay away. However, long term exposure to the plants is poisonous to humans, and the girl’s grandmother has become ill by it. The girl was outside looking for the cure which is the IQ plant, but Shiki has taken all the IQ plant for his experiments. Sanji and Ussop, also at the same village, where everyone appears to have small wings on their arms, learn that Shiki also takes all the men and young women to his royal palace, leaving the village with only the very young and old. They soon after meet up with Zoro and Chopper. (more on from Wikipedia.org)

Eat Bulaga took a very large share of the market after its fiercest rival: Wowowee has been officially cancelled by the ABS-CBN management. According to AGB Nielsen’s July 20-21 ratings survey, GMA-7s Eat Bulaga has a rating of 8% while ABS-CBN’s Wowowee only takes 4.7%.

That’s a very wide gap between the two (2) shows. As most of us know, Wowowee’s downfall was felt after losing its founding host: Willie Revillame.

However, Eat Bulaga deserves to be on that throne. It is one of the longest running show in the country popularly known for its hosts Tito, Vic & Joey as well as its novelty creations like the Pinoy Henyo, EB Babes, Sex Bomb Dancers, and Dabarkads.

After 30 years (3 decades) of noon-time variety show entertainment, Eat Bulaga still stand strong and has increasing number of regular hosts in the likes of Pia Guanio, Ruby Rodriguez, Jimmy Santos, Keempee de Leon, Anjo Yllana, Allan K., Toni Rose Gayda, Jose Manalo, Daiana Menezes, Pauleen Luna, Ciara Sotto, Wally Bayola, and Julia Clarete.

As some of us might recall, there was a dispute between hosts of 2 noon-time shows. Check out below (courtesy of GMA7 and Youtube.com):

Iglesia Ni Cristo, one of the fastest growing church in the Philippines, had celebrated its 96th anniversary since it was established on July 27, 1914 by Felix Ysagun Manalo. The leadership of the church was passed unto three generations from founder Felix Manalo to his son Eraño de Guzman Manalo and finally to the incumbent Executive Minister Eduardo V. Manalo.

Today, Iglesia ni Cristo (commonly known as INC) has over 5,000 congregations in the Philippines and 600 more abroad totalling to 89 countries and 102 nationalities and ethnic groups. The church also has a 24-hour cable television channel where followers could watch and listen to the word of God.

Furthermore, we found a video about a debate between the doctrine followed by Seventh-day Adventists (SDA) and Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC). Is this really the teaching of God? Should people fight about the bible and shout at each other?

The newly elected Congresswoman Lucy Torres-Gomez is quite a great face in the House of Representative. During the May 2010 elections, she became a replacement for Richard Gomez as the Liberal Party’s representative after her husband was disqualified due to insufficient length of stay or established residency in the 4th district of Leyte.

Today, she is now among the neophyte lawmakers of the 15th Congress which includes other big names like Lani Mercado, Imelda Marcos, and Manny Pacquiao.

At the first SONA of Pres. Aquino, she was one of those congresswomen who wore a great dress for that historic event.

As a background check, Lucy Torres is a tv host, and a wife who grew in the lands of Ormoc, Leyte.

Its a good image for Philippine Politics to have a pretty congresswoman in the 15th Congress (proof below):

In the recent SONA of Pres. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, we saw ex-Quezon City Mayor now 4th district of QC Congressman Feliciano Belmonte Jr. acting as the Speaker of the House of Representatives in the 15th Congress. He is a veteran lawmaker, at 73, who garnered the support of 227 out of the total 287 members during the selection of House Speaker.

Previously, he held 3 consecutive terms QC Representative since 1992 and was elected as the House Minority Leader and House Speaker in the 11th Congress. He was also awarded as Most Outstanding Mayor in 2003.

He started is government service during the term of Diosdado Macapagal as Presidential Staff Assistant, he also served as Special Assistant to the Commissioner of Customs, Executive Assistant of Central Bank, and was tasked by Pres Cory Aquino to manage GOCCs like GSIS, Manila Hotel and Philippine Airlines.

Below is the interview of Boy Abunda on the BottomLine:

Lenovo Ideapad G550 15.6 inches Black Laptop is an essential laptop under Lenovo’s G Series. This is one of their exciting laptops since the price is quite good for the technical specs whose only downturns are the speakers and the quite large touchpad. On the other hand, it is quite fast loading, have good screen display and doesn’t get hot at all which is quite amazing for a laptop less than $500.

It is packed with the Windows 7 and has quite amazing unique features such as the OneKey Rescue System that allows system restore and data recovery in one touch of a button. Also the Veriface, facial recognition system that gives windows authorization via your face captured through the built-in webcam.

Another good thing is the full keyboard with numeric keypads built by the same engineers of the Thinkpad. Its dimensions are 9.6 x 15 x 1.4 inches.
