Every Filipino probably know Nobody by Wonder Girls, and we all know the mascots of KFC “Chuckie” and Jollibee (for our International audience, Jollibee is a local fast-food chain that has gone International, competing head-on with McDonald’s).
How about seeing them in a dance showdown? I want nobody, nobody but you 
Watch the video after the jump.

Longest Total Solar Eclipse Report

The July 22, 2009 Total Solar Eclipse was an experience to treasure - yes, even though from where I am it was only partial, about 49.5% here in Megapolitan Manila.
This is technically the first Solar Eclipse I was able to observe, the previous solar eclipses that occured here in the Philippines were, sadly, covered by clouds (and even raining). One of it was the Total Solar Eclipse that was visible in Cebu (Manila got up to 96% at that time if I remember correctly).
Here are my select photos of today’s record-breaking eclipse - longest Total Solar Eclipse at its maximum - 6 minutes and 39 seconds. Oh, you’re in for a treat, 5 video coverage of the Total Solar Eclipse in India, China, and Japan, you’ll even see the firey fires of the sun

Report of the solar eclipse: Longest Total Solar Eclipse Report with photos and video coverage.
(Update 2009-07-22 6:45am ACT: Added additional Live Webcast links.)
Tomorrow, July 22, 2009, we will witness the longest Total Solar Eclipse ever recorded in history, but the totality will be visible only in India, Afghanistan, China, Taiwan, the Southern Islands of Japan, and the Pacific group of islands.
For the rest of us, we will witness only a Partial Solar Eclipse - but it isn’t reason enough to miss this because the next time we will have a record-breaking Total Solar Eclipse will be on June 13, 2132 - ALL of us living today will be gone by then.
