                    [Summary] => 
LONDON (AFP) - The last book in the Harry Potter series flew off bookshop shelves at a record-setting clip as fans worldwide Saturday rushed to find out whether author J.K. Rowling slays or spares the boy wizard. 



After months of hype and hearsay, "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows", the seventh volume in a decade-long magical saga, went on sale globally at 2301 GMT in most countries, with London the focus of festivities.

                    [Summary] => 



Having briefly enjoyed The Ali G Show back in the day, I never would have thought that comedian Sacha Baron Cohen’s second-banana character, Kazakh TV reporter Borat Sagdiyev, who was in love with all things American, would have turned into box-office gold. The character, sprouting a bushy moustache and mangled English, seemed too one-note, and his presence definitely left you with an uncomfortable feeling.

LOS ANGELES – I’m on a brief stop here after a week’s visit to Mexico – the land of tequila, tacos and Erik Morales. Well, hardly Erik Morales. Not one Mexican gave me a headbutt after learning I was from the Philippines, even if I trod on Mexican shores while El Terrible’s wounds were still as fresh as the paint on the Nike billboards of Manny Pacquiao.  Even one of the waiters assigned to our table on board the luxurious cruise ship Diamond Princess was a Mexican and he conceded that Pacquiao was good.

I can vaguely remember how my college graduation went. It was one of those supposedly memorable events in a graduation that I chose to bury along with the falling autumn leaves.

                    [Summary] => 



Albert del Rosario’s five years as Philippine ambassador to the US was a nonstop race against time. Confirmed by Congress in Oct. 2001, he flew to his new post the next day after a rush briefing at the foreign office. Gloria Arroyo was to visit Washington in six weeks, so del Rosario needed to arrange all her meetings, chiefly with George W. Bush. Yet the embassy still had to fix his own presentation of credentials to the White House, for only then may he officially operate.

Months before my planned visit, I could hear my son’s labored breathing through the crisp broadband connection. Once again, he had gone to the stationery store to buy a calendar that was as big as a general’s surveillance map (complete with pins). He was not taking any chances. This time around, he was planning, mapping and scheduling all our days with him. He penciled in several notes complete with question marks, exclamation points and happy faces.

Not only was Barnes and Noble on sale, some of their discounted books were straight off the sports shelf. I’d like to share my finds with you.
