Mid-Week News Notes

~ You have to get out early and place your bets.  The pot today on super lotto's 6/55 could go as high as Php302 million and you can be the winner - or share it with someone else.  Whatever... winning is still winning!

~ There were 19 accidents noted from Nov 1 to Nov 2.  How many of these accidents involved motorcycles?  I think I can name five.

~ There is a plan to light up the main streets of Sta. Cruz, Laguna using solar-powered cells.

~ Tom Cruise is in Dubai shooting another "Mission Impossible." I am sure there will be a lot of stunts that will be shot at the Burj Dubai Khalifa.

~ The Philippine Rugby team did not make it to the Borneo 7s Finals held in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.  Yes, there is a Philippine Rugby Team.  They are called the Philippine Volcanoes.  Jessica Zafra was there with the guys and covered everything in her blog.

~ One of the president's staff is now on fire because of her tweets in Vietnam and this, obviously, affected the purpose of the trip, which is to build a harmonious relationship with the country.  The funny thing is, I think I read that the wine about the 'wine tweet' is not from Vietnam, but from Chile.  Now, talk about hitting two birds with one stone.  Be careful what you tweet!

~ Still on tweeting, the president did not want to disclose his visit to his mom and dad.  But, the whole world found out when Kris tweeted about it.

~ There is a controversial video supposedly taken way back 1928 that shows a granny talking to someone on what looks like a mobile phone.  Do you believe this?

~ Hey, hey, Hayden.  Share the seat with Manny because he is coming up with his MP7!  I wonder which of these two smells better.... the perfume, I mean.
