I made some researched guys on what are the top tech things
people used this year and the newest version and updates and here are my list:
INSTAGRAM
We know 2012 Instagram started but this year 2013 it made its
major blast. Instagram made its major improvements to the mobile photo sharing
but is now also a video sharing and in a way a messaging app. Its November
launch of Instagram Direct which allows you to share photos and have they disappear
a few seconds later cool isn't it?
TWITTER
Everybody loves twitter it's the best way to connect,
express and discover what's happening. This year was a big year for the
microblogging social network and this is second from Facebook.
SHORT VIDEOS
"SELFIE" is the word of the year as we all know
and even world leaders do it. Photos were not the big thing this year but also
short videos. It all began when Twitter launched a separate platform for
posting short videos. Twitter launched Vine which limits video post to 6
seconds.
YOUTUBE
Since were talking video's YOUTUBE still wins and the master
of them all. Psy wins for the most popular video sharing his Gangnam style last
year ended with a historic 1 billion views.
FACEBOOK
Facebook still dominates all. As we all know more and more
users access the service not only in their computers and laptops but also on
their mobile phones. One great innovation of Facebook Home was Chat Heads. For
Android users it means avatars from your friends pop out when your friends send
you a chat message.
SMARTPHONES
2013 was a year of amazing smartphone growth. Samsung is the
undisputed leader over apple, Lenovo and LG.
According to my research Android tops them all second is iOS
with Microsoft edging Blackberry out for third.
GAMING
Sony’s PlayStation and Microsoft’s X-Box got major updates
this year. But the biggest news in terms of console gaming this year was the
Oculus Rift, virtual reality goggles that actually work. The head-mounted
display takes gamers into a Stereoscopic 3D environment with a wider field of
view taking immersive gaming to a whole new level.
While smartphones and phablets are the top choices for techy
people out there. We also have wearable’s continue to make small steps. Fitness
bands also became popular. Devices like the FitBit Flex, Jawbone up 24, and
Nike Fuel Band SE track physical activity and some of them sleep patterns.
We also saw smart watches from Samsung and Sony and Kick
Starter project Pebble but Apple’s iWatch has yet to be seen.

Miss Philippines Bea Santigao is the new Miss International.
A great way to end the year 2013. There is hope indeed!
This 23 year old amazed the judges during the question and
answer portion wherein the 5 finalist were asked what they will do if they win
the title. It is a very simple and common question in a Beauty Contest but Miss
Philippines said: “The whole world saw how my country suffered. One by one,
other countries helped. You have opened my heart and eyes on what we can do to
help each other. I will work to sustain the spirit of sympathy and spirit of
hope. As long as we work together, there is hope." and this answer struck the
judges and wild cheers from the audience. Those words from Bea Santiago are the
answers to every problems that every country is facing! We all have hope if we
help each other!
Her win makes us proud as Filipino's and this was indeed a
triumphant year for Filipina Beauty Queens since 3 months ago Mutya Johanna
Datul won Miss Suprational also Megan Young won the country’s first Miss World
title and a little over a month after Ariella Arida placed third runner-up in
the Miss Universe pageant.

I haven't eaten my breakfast so I will have my late breakfast and early lunch. So lazy to cook so went out and grab my brunch to the nearest "Sinangag Station" it's a mini restaurant serving breakfast meals.
I'm so excited for my 2nd redemption that I forgot to take my breakfast and my tummy is gargling and mumbling for food. I ordered one of my favorites "Sisigsilog".
Sizling Sisig is a Filipino dish made from parts of pig’s head and liver, usually seasoned with calamansi and chili peppers served together with sunny side up egg and fried garlic rice so delicious and yummy.
I am full now burping for the yumminess of my BRUNCH.

The Philippines is known for having the world’s longest Christmas season. The 4 months that ends with "ber" are considered Christmas months. Stores and houses are already busy decorating for Christmas and playing carols on the first day of September and extends until the Feast of 3 Kings which falls on the first week of January. Let me show you how Filipino's celebrated our own version of Christmas.
PAROL(Christmas Lantern) most commonly in the shape of a star. Almost every family either makes their own version or buys one to hang by the window or door. Others construct giant versions of parols.The Filipino home will not be found without a parol (lantern) during the Christmas season.
Belen(a creche or nativity scene) can be seen in homes, churches, schools and even office buildings. The ones on office buildings can be extravagant, using different materials for the figures and using Christmas lights, parols, and painted background scenery.
Simbang Gabi(a series of nine masses) mostly Catholics,Filipino's begin a novena on December 16th. Filipinos go to church at four o’clock in the morning and afterward have breakfast together. A traditional drink during this season is a warm ginger tea called salabat and a traditional treat is a flat but thick yellow rice cake called bibingka not just at home but on almost every corner.On every block, especially the ones close to churches, there are food stands or stalls of these Pinoy Christmas goodies. And in the country side, a band might even play Christmas carols; medleys to awaken people and lure them to attend the service. On Christmas Eve, the final Christmas mass is celebrated with much ceremony, color and lights.
Monito Monita or Kris Kringle. The Filipino version of Secret SantaStudents in their classes and office workers all hold gift exchanges during the Christmas season. Children receive fresh bills of money called aginaldo, usually when they visit their godparents and elderly relatives on Christmas morning.
"Noche Buena"(Good Night) the grand family dinner after the midnight mass. This is a dinner for family to gather and eat together as they rejoice and feast on the Nativity of the birth of Christ.Right away followed by Noche Buena for families to share the best line of Filipino cuisine, along with the traditional "Queso de Bola" (Edam cheese shaped into a ball) and "Hamon" (ham) on every table.
Some have "Lechon" (roast pork), some don't.
Christmas morning is the time for visiting relatives. Filipinos wear new if not their best clothes. Children do mano, which is kissing or bringing to their forehead the hand of an elderly person. This is when they receive their pamasko, certainly aguinaldo from godfathers and godmothers. Christmas lunch and Christmas dinner are with family.
Although it doesn't snow in the Philippines, white Christmas is achieved when families get together. All members are presented with gifts or no gifts and they share dinner and celebrate the nativity.
