The 89th Academy Awards will be aired on ABC on February 26. 

Looking at the nominated actors and actresses, it's a mix bag of winners, previous nominees and first-timers. 


The Academy Awards is the Granddaddy of all awards. 

There are also no clear frontrunners compared to previous years. Most of the films featured weren't even blockbuster hits. 

Some say that Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are strong contenders but the Academy voters are known to digress from the popular choices.

Colon Street's Forgotten Heritage Markers

Gambar
C olon Street in Cebu City has the distinction of being known as the oldest street in the Philippines. Throughout its more than 400 years of existence, Colon has been the center of trade, fame, prominence and even notoriety. Colon Street Heritage Marker 2001 Named after the famed Genovese navigator and explorer, Cristobal Colon or Christopher Columbus, Colon street appeals to tourists and locals alike. Bargain shopping and deals abound the various establishments that surround the street. Its historical and commercial value cannot be surpassed. Similar to going to Quiapo or Divisoria or Recto, one has to be on high alert and aware of everything that's going on around you. It doesn't help that the years of neglect and the "I don't care" attitude added to the atmosphere of grittiness and griminess that exudes from Colon.

Hey, wanna find out where the best Affogato places are in Cebu? Let me help you uncover them. You might ask yourself, is it a dessert or a drink? That has been the biggest mystery of the Affogato . For me, I consider it a drink. I enjoy the combination of hot and cold in a glass plus it's wonderful looking at the contrast of the gelato and espresso. Affogato Collection In my endless quest of finding that perfect Affogato drink, I have discovered eight cafes and restaurants in Cebu that offers this unusual treat. My love affair with this Italian specialty started more than ten years ago and it just keeps getting better and better.  I had a former co-worker who used to be a Starbucks barista and she introduced me to the concept of Affogato.

Definition Affogato means "drowned" in Italian. Espresso is

21 Writers and Poets Who Died Tragically

The tortured genius. The starving artist. The antisocial behavior. The free spirit. The wandering soul. The lost generation. When we hear or read these descriptions, who comes to mind? Our answers will all be the same --- the writer, the poet, the author. Literary artists who live by the power of their words; the might of their pen. But I'm not here to talk about the quirks of their behavior or the majesty of their talent rather the tragedy that befell these masters of the written word that silenced their emotions and souls. One of my favorite quotes from the campy movie, The Mummy, "Death is just a beginning" kept coming to mind when I was researching for this blog topic. Death did not diminish the popularity of these artists but rather enhanced it; out of curiosity, created new audiences to their writings.  Suicide, Accidents, Depression, Alcoholism, Debilitating illness, these seem to be great plot ideas for a novel. But the reality is stranger than fiction; the lives
