"#iMourn" for Steve Jobs


by Cathy Pantoja

Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple died on October 5, 2011 at the age of 56 suffering from pancreatic cancer. “Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple”, a short message posted on the company’s website.

The world is deeply saddened by hearing the news and lost a genius that made a difference in lives. His brilliance and passion is the result of his countless innovations and made the world better in his own way. The impact of Steve Job’s death trended in Twitter with just a snap through a hashtags #thankyousteve, #RIPSteve, #iMourn, #iSad and #iPhone4Steve.

iPhone 4S, the latest invention of Apple will be launched on October 14, 2011. It is the first iPhone with Siri, greatly enchanced camera, a5 dual-core processor and inbuilt voice command. The new iPhone 4S won’t be remembered because of its specs but it will be greatly remembered by everyone as iPhone 4Steve.

“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
 Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true”, Steve Job’s commencement address at Standford, 2005. His death proved that it is life’s change agent. Everyone mourned because of his death, the world lost a genius that inspired us to be brilliant and passionate.

First ever Jackie Chan Museum to be established in Shanghai

by Jennica Butiong

Jackie Chan announced the creation of the first Jackie Chan Museum at Changfeng Ecology Commercial District in Shanghai’s Putuo District that could reminisce his journey towards success .

Chan personally chose the location of the museum himself because Shanghai is a part of his story as an artist. People who will explore and see the museum can trace and have a refresher of what Jackie Chan’s journey is all about, from Hongkong until he enters Hollywood and became a prominent actor for action films.

Exhibits of costumes and props used in most of his films will also be seen in the museum along with different photos taken while working and some awards that Chan earned in his glorious success.



The museum will approximately be 3,100 square meters and is expected to be completed by October.
