Royal Wedding Details and Schedules

Prince William and fiance Kate Middleton will have their Royal Wedding this coming April 29. Most of us have been to weddings of friends and relatives. Can you imagine what it would be like to plan the royal wedding? With an ordinary wedding, we just have the church and the reception. Just to give you an idea, I saw a simplified schedule of the wedding day. It's more complicated than it looks.

Royal Wedding Day details from unveiled.blogs.cnn.com

• 8:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m.: It will be announced whether William and Kate will take a new title. The decision will be made by the couple and the Queen
• 8:30 a.m.: Guests will begin arriving at Westminster Abbey. Members of the general congregation and guests who arrive before 10 a.m. will use a side entrance known as the Great North Door
• 10 a.m.: The VIPs start to arrive - Government officials first (both foreign and domestic), to be followed by royal families. Kate Middleton is set to arrive before the Royal Family
• 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m.: The Royal Family will arrive, with the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh being the last of the family to enter the Abbey
• 10:50-11:00: Bridesmaids arrive
• 11:00 a.m.: Kate Middleton and her father will arrive (collective sigh/gasp!). Details about Kate's dress have not been released in-part because Kate wishes to surprise William (a traditional prerogative/superstition). The moment Kate steps out of the car, details about the dress, shoes and accessories will be released and distributed
• The service will be officiated by the Dean of Westminster. As is tradition, the marriage will be solemnized by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Prince Charles played a huge role in selecting the music. Only Kate will wear a wedding band
• 12:15 p.m. (approximately): Bells will ring as the couple exits the Abbey. A carriage procession will head to Buckingham Palace
• 12:30-12:40 p.m.: Carriage procession will arrive at the Palace
• 12:40 p.m.: Private family photographs will be taken inside Buckingham Palace - an official shot of the happy couple is expected to be released Saturday morning by 11 a.m.
• 1:25 p.m.: The couple, the Queen and their families will appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace
• 1:30 p.m. (precisely!): There will be a Royal Air Force fly-past
• 7:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.: Approximately 300 guests will return to Buckingham Palace for dinner and dancing hosted by Prince Charles. The crowd will mostly be friends and family, particularly William and Kate's young friends. Speeches will take place

Justin Bieber Shouted "Hello Manila!" in his Malaysia Concert

Heard this on the radio this afternoon that Justin Bieber shouted "Hello Manila!" instead of "Hello Malaysia" in his Malaysia concert. As expected many Filipinos went nuts over this news. But I can't seem to find any reliable source that this really happened at the Justin Bieber Malaysia Concert. If I were the Malaysians I would flood the internet over this issue. Yet I didn't see any Malaysians in any of the social networks that Justin did said "Hello Manila". 

Is it true that Justin Bieber Shouted "Hello Manila!" in his Malaysia Concert? For me, if it's not on youtube, facebook or twitter then it's most likely not true.

Real Madrid Defender Sergio Ramos Dropped the Copa del Rey Trophy

Real Madrid Defender Sergio Ramos Dropped the Copa del Rey Trophy just a while ago. They were in a parade celebrating their win against Barcelona. The players were in a open topped double decker bus when Sergio Ramos lost his grip on the Copa del Rey trophy. It fell under the bus and was said to be flattened, but later announced that it was fine. 

Although they say it was fine, some videos show some emergency personnel getting some broken pieces under the bus. Not to mention it was not seen at the celebration of the Plaza de Cibeles in central Madrid. 

Watch this amatuer video that captured Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos losing grip of the Copa del Rey Trophy. 


Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey Trophy, beating Barcelona 1-0. The winning goal was made by Ronaldo in Valencia. Copa del Rey is the Spanish equivalent of the FA cup. Copa del Rey Trophy is also called the King's Cup. The Copa del Rey Trophy that was dropped is the 12th version of the cup to be commissioned.

ABS-CBN Van Driver Sued for AJ Perez's Death

Finally the car driving the ABS-CBN van was sued by ABS-CBN according to Bong Osorio, ABS-CBN Corp. head of Corporate Communications. He said that the driver is not an employee of ABS-CBN but an employee of Southbend Express Services, Inc., a service contractor of ABS-CBN. The driver is sued for reckless imprudence that caused the death of AJ Perez and injured 4 others. 



Base on some investigation I read and some images I saw on TV, it showed that the two ABS-CBN vans in convoy was overtaking a vegetable truck.  While the first van was able to successfully overtake, the second van was not able to. Unfortunately it was hit by an approaching PARTAS passenger bus before it could get back to its lane. This happened along McArthur highway in Barangay San Julian, Tarlac. 


Any good driver would say that the van driver is at fault. He clearly was not able to estimate properly while overtaking. In tagalog "alanganin ang pagovertake niya." I'm not saying that the bus driver didn't do anything wrong. We all know that bus drivers here don't really care about approaching vehicles. But technically the responsibility of looking ahead to estimate the approaching vehicles lies with the one who is overtaking.

Kate Middleton's Coat of Arms as the New Princess

Kate Middleton now has her own coat of arms(left). Supposedly, Kate has the right to apply herself a crest to the College of Arms which deals with coat of arms matters. But her father wanted the whole family to be able to use the crest. That's why Michael Middleton was the one who petitioned for the coat of arms which reportedly costs 4,400 pounds. This means that
his other children, Pippa and James, and his wife Carole Middleton can also use the crest. So technically, Kate Middleton's family is the ones who has the new coat of arms.



The new coat of arms is pretty simple in design compared to the prince's. The three acorns represents the three children including Kate. The two thin white chevron symbolizes snowy mountains which represents the family's love for skiing and outdoors. The gold chevron in the middle represents the mother, Carole. It was colored gold because Carole's maiden name was Goldsmith. The Colors red and blue in the background represents the Union flag of UK and matches the recently revised Prince William's coat of arms.

Royal Wedding Spoof Dance Video with Prince William and Kate Middleton Dancing

Watching this video just makes you smile. Everyone seems to be talking about the Royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton all month. In an online video, T-Mobile launched  a viral marketing campaign with transforming the royal wedding into a dance party. They got the idea from the "JK Wedding Entrance Dance" which had 64 million views. The video was filmed at St. Bartholomew the Great Church in London. 

A T-Mobile said that the royal wedding spoof is "a congratulatory message to William and Kate, as well as a way of capturing the nation's celebratory mood." 

Here's the best viral video of 2011

High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale and Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco Naked

Ashley Tisdale is well known for is wholesome image in High School Musical. But I guess she's a big girl now, and appeared on a nude photo shoot with Allure magazine's May issue. She is turning 26 this year so I think people are just used to her clean image. 

Allure magazine's May issue also features Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco, 25. She loved the photo shoot and is comfortable being naked. Other celebrities joined the issue including

Bridget Moynahan 40 and Keri Hilson 28.

Kate Middleton's Cousin Strips to Barely Nothing

This past few months the whole world seems to be focusing more on Kate Middleton. Enter Kate's cousin Katrina Darling. She's a 20 year old burlesque dancer. Her signature act titled God Save The Queen, where she wears red nipple tassels and thongs. Her first performance was when she was 18 years old with the Sunderland dance troupe Coquette Collective.

Katrina had no idea that she was related to the soon to be princess Kate. The two are actually second cousins. Her grandmother is sister to Kate Middleton's great-grandfather Thomas Harrison. Katrina is among the

latest of Kate's relatives to give a sort of bad image to her.

Here's a video from YouTube. Not entirely sure if this is the same Katrina Darling, but the video is entertaining... watch..

Captain America's Costume Design on the Upcoming the First Avenger Movie

Just saw the trailer of Captain America: The First Avenger 2011 movie. I couldn't quite see the new costume for the hero so I looked for a clear image and stumbled upon the image above. Chris Evans in his full Captain America uniform. When compared to the 1990 classic Captain America look which Matt Salinger plays the iconic hero, its strikingly different.

They designed the new Captain America costume maybe too realistic. The movie's setting is in 1942 so I guess if you look at it, it seems appropriate for that time. Captain America is a soldier after all. 

(more images below)

His mask is like a soldier's helmet, and his pants is from an airman’s jumpsuit. The wings are just painted on his helmet and the star is smaller. If you look at it at a certain point of view, you can actually imagine it being part of G.I. Joe. But if you don't like the costume, don't be too disappointed. They say that the costume will most likely be upgraded or changed in the most awaited The Avengers movie. 

Now how about the Red Skull? They made simpler and it works for me. 

Captain America: The First Avenger will be released July 22nd starring Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Hugo Weaving as Red Skull, Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter and Samuel L. Jackson as Nicky Fury.

1942, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) deemed unfit for military service, he volunteers for a top secret research project that turns him into Captain America, a superhero dedicated to defending America's ideals. - IMDB

After comparing the costumes. Compare the movie. Below are two youtube videos showing the 1990 Captain America Trailer and the upcoming 2011 Captain America: The First Avenger

Official Website of the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton

St. James’s Palace launched an official website for the coming royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. It seems like the world is very interested on the most highly anticipated event of the year. Its just appropriate that the palace announces an official website so that people around the world can be updated about the wedding of the year.

On the "royal website", people can be informed on what's the latest news updates, pictures and videos on the preparations to the upcoming royal wedding. It will even have

details about Kate Middleton's wedding dress. It has yet to be announced if it will stream live broadcast of the royal wedding itself. 

Who built or developed the royal website for Prince William and Kate? No, not St. James Palace, Clarence House nor Prince William's staff. The website was built by Accenture and hosted by Google. Why Google? because they can handle huge web traffic, which we can assume the website will have on the wedding day.

Here is the Royal Website:
