Google launches innovative new services

Google announced it will offer new service utilities for its search engine. Services include: search by voice, image search. These services were only available on smartphones to date.



To find an image related to one you have in your PC, simply drag it to the field of research and drop it that the search engine will automatically work for you and present you images related to that one




The voice search is simple, the only thing you have to do is speaking into the mic (the one connected to the PC) what you want to search and that is it. In addition to these services, you can also translate an image (yes!!! an image!!) which contain any texts. Just take a picture of a page; it can be of a book, and ask Google to translate it for you.

The most relevant pages will be shown at the time the search is performed, so when you click on, the site will jump on your screen with no need of waiting.

On mobile devices, Google will add icons to help you find a restaurant near you.   This will be a great addition from a company that dominates the world wide web.

Bugoy Drilon Preparing for his First All-English Album

Since emerging from Pinoy Dream Academy in 2008, Bugoy Drilon has led a steady singing career that he is very thankful for and he has even more choice projects in the works. “Magtu-two years na ako with Star Magic. Okay naman yung pag-alaga nila sa akin. Nasu-sustain naman yung career ko, nabubuhay naman yung family ko. Napo-provide ko naman yung gusto ko sa buhay ko,” he admitted.

The 22-year-old native from Camarines Sur said he has already learned a lot from being in showbiz for over three years now. “Yung pagkatao ko kasi noon, aaminin ko naman kasi na hindi naman talaga kami mayaman. Kumabaga, isa akong probinsyano pero itong pagiging nasa entertainment industry ko ang nagbigay sa akin ng isang malaking mundo para mabago ko yung pamumuhay ng family ko, ng sarili ko at nakapag-inspire ng maraming tao through my singing. Kaya nagpapasalamat ako na kahit papaano, na-discover nila na kaya ko mag-inspire ng maraming tao,” he shared with Push.com.ph.

Currently promoting his album Nang Dahil Sa Pag-Ibig under Star Records which was released last year, Bugoy said he is also looking forward to starting work on his newest album which was something he did not expect to be offered to him. “Sana suportahan nila yung third album ko at abangan nila dahil magkakaroon ako ng album na puro English na kanta. This will be my first project na kakanta ako ng mga English na kanta, I think it’s happening this year. I don’t know. I’m going to try that naman. Sa lahat lahat ng albums ko, naka-apat na ako na albums (one album was a compilation with other artists), wala pa akong English na kinanta,” he said.

Despite his steady popularity, Bugoy admitted he still has some reservations regarding singing in English. “Sana magustuhan nila. I’m really hoping hindi naman ako malait sa diction ko,” he told Push.com.ph.

Bugoy also said she is especially proud of his current album because of he was able to contribute a song he wrote. “First time ko rin mag-compose ng sarili kong kanta yung ‘Paano Na Ang Puso Ko.’ Isang kanta lang yun pero siyempre natutuwa ako dahil nagawa ko. Siya yung next video na ilalabas from my third album. Kaya I’m so happy na at least hindi na-reject yung kinompose ko. Natuwa naman sila sa ginawa ko,” he added.

As part of the Star Magic tour that recently went to Europe, Bugoy felt very blessed to be included in such a talented group. “Kasama ko doon si Ate KC Concepcion, Matteo Guidicelli, at Derek Ramsay. Pumunta kami ng Zurich, Switzerland. Sobrang ganda at sobrang lamig doon. Lahat ng tao nakasalamuha namin ang babait nila sa amin. Yung mga Pinoy dun, siguro umuwi ako ng may isang maletang chocolates. Natutuwa nga po ako kasi hindi ko akalain na may mga taong mata-touch ka na mapapamahal sa ‘yo,” he recalled. The talented singer admitted that their one-night only show was an unforgettable night for him. “Isang show lang pero malaking venue siya. Nakapag-meet and greet kami with the fans and then pumunta sila sa hotel kung saan kami nag-stay. And then lumabas din kami at nag-ikot ikot dun so nakita ko yung mga lugar dun. Pinaka-first time ko yun sa Europe,” he said.

The following months will prove to be just as busy for him as he leaves in August to perform in the US. Bugoy also told Push.com.ph that his distinct voice has definitely helped him set himself apart from other contemporary singers. “Di ba alam naman natin na matagal na rin ako sa showbiz, at hindi pa rin nila ako nakakalimutan so it’s my advantage na kilala pa rin nila ako. malaki ang utang na loob ko dun. Actually wala akong training eh. Sadyang hindi kasi naka-align boses ko. Compared sa ibang singers, yung vocal cords ko, hindi siya nag-ko-close. So kahit mapaos man ako, the same pa rin yung quality ng boses ko. Puwedeng good thing and bad thing yun kasi ‘pag good thing, kahit anong kantahin ko nakakanta ko, ang bad thing dun is hindi ko alam kung paano siya gagamitin in a proper way. Di ba sa PDA may training kami? Ako yung pinakamahirap na tinuruan nila. Ako lang yung hindi nakakuha kasi hindi aligned yung vocal cords ko,” he shared.

Bugoy also admitted that he likes making music videos for his songs because it has also helped him practice his acting skills. “Actually hindi ako nag-wo-workshop sa pag-arte. I’m trying na mag-arte pero hindi naman ako talaga actor, sadyang maarte lang talaga ako sa totoong buhay (laughs). Ayun, tina-try ko naman umarte saalang-alang sa ikagaganda at ikalalabas ng project na sana magustuhan ng maraming tao. At saka para mas maka-create sila ng story nung kanta,” he explained to Push.com.ph.

Who's the Father of Andi Eigenmann's Baby?

Who's the father of Andi Eigenmann's baby?

This is the question that everyone is asking after Eigenmann's mom, Jaclyn Jose, confirmed her daughter's pregnancy.

On Thursday, the camp of young actor Albie Casiño finally spoke up about the issue after Jose's revelation. Casiño is Eigenmann's former sweetheart.

In her official Twitter account, Albie's mother, Rina Casiño, said she is not denying nor confirming that Albie is the father of Andi's baby.

"No one's denying nor confirming. Just saying he is not her 1st bf & I didnt hear ms jaclyn say Albie did u?" Casiño said.

Meanwhile, Jake Ejercito, son of former president Joseph Estrada, has also broken his silence regarding Eigenmann's pregnancy.

In his Twitter account, Ejercito asked people not to jump to conclusions.
"I'd just like to ask everyone not to jump into conclusions and misinterpret what has been said. I am not Andi's first boyfriend. Let us just respect and pray for her, her baby, and family," he said.

Eigenmann rose to fame by playing the lead star in the ABS-CBN teleserye “Agua Bendita." She is currently a cast member of the hit series "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin."

Her mom earlier said the father of Eigenmann’s child is a former boyfriend who allegedly abandoned her daughter when he found about the baby.

She said the guy is the young actress’ first sweetheart.

“Wala na sila noon. Iniwanan sila noong nabuntis siya. I’m okay with that. I don’t want to talk about him anymore. I don’t have business with him. I feel angry every time I think of him but that's over na,” she said.

Top Pinoy Chefs Will Judge Junior Master Chef: Pinoy Edition

ABS-CBN will soon unveil its newest reality show Junior MasterChef: Pinoy Edition wherein kids compete in various culinary activities. The show will be hosted by Judy Ann Santos and will also feature three top Filipino chefs who will serve as judges.

Push.com.ph interviewed chefs Fern Aracama, Rolando Laudico, and JP Anglo about their feelings in being part of the Pinoy version of JMC. “I stayed in Australia for many years and dun ko napanood ‘yung Junior MasterChef,” shared Chef JP who studied at the Center of Culinary Arts in Manila and Sydney, Australia and later opened Mushu Asian Restaurant in Bacolod. “Every time na napapanood ko ‘yun, I am moved. Ngayon part na ako ng Pinoy version ng JMC, it’s unbelievable. I’m honored to be part of helping improve the culinary industry here in the Philippines na hindi pa masyadong nagbo-blossom.” The three further thanked ABS-CBN for choosing them and giving them the opportunity to show to viewers that at a young age anyone can start pursuing a career in the culinary world, contrary to popular perception that studying to become a chef is only for the rich.

Chef Lau, who studied at Culinary Institute of America and opened Bistro in 2006, described how they have a crucial responsibility as part of JMC. “Magbibigay rin kami ng lakas ng loob sa mga bata. Hindi kasi maiiwasan na sa competition dadating ‘yung point na gusto mo nang sumuko. Kapag ganun we will encourage them na ipagpatuloy lang ‘yung pag-work nila sa dream nila. Baka may mga galing sila na hindi pa nila nare-realize.”

He added that he didn’t agree to be part of JMC so he can become famous and promote himself and his business. Instead he only wanted to inspire many Filipino children who want to be chefs someday to work hard in achieving their dream. “Ginagawa ko ito hindi dahil gusto kong sumikat. Ginagawa ko ito dahil malapit talaga sa puso ko ‘yung pagluluto, at bilang father mahilig din ako sa mga bata. Magandang opportunity ito para maenganyo natin ang maraming bata na matutong magluto at mangarap na someday ay maging top chef. Itong mga bata ng Junior MasterChef I believe sila ang magiging future ng culinary industry sa bansa natin. The more na maraming bata ang magkakagusto sa pagluluto because of this show, ‘yun ang mas important kaysa sa pagsikat namin.”

Among the three, Chef Fern is the more familiar to many viewers since he has appeared in numerous cooking shows on TV before. He obtained his degree at the New England Culinary School in Vermont and later opened Uva restaurant in Greenbelt 2. His busy schedule almost prevented him from becoming a part of JMC. Now that he is finally a judge and a mentor of aspiring chefs, how will Chef Fern manage to convey his verdict of the work of these of the JMC kids? “Dapat positibo lang,” he explained. “Tutukan mo kung ano ‘yung mga ginagawang tama. Syempre dapat honest pa rin. I-point out mo ‘yung mali pero ako kasi mas gusto kong i-uplift ‘yung mga bata kaysa i-let down. I was once a kid who dream of becoming a chef. Honestly ngayon kapag may nagsasabing hindi maganda ‘yung luto ko nasasaktan pa rin ako, e ano pa sila?”
