A few days ago I did a post about
Cosplay goddesses Alodia and Ashley Gosiengfiao as endorsers of Wheatgrass Easy Pha-max. I was surprised to get more than 300 likes for that post. I remember the time when
Mike Abundo said: "If you blog Alodia, expect a spike on traffic"
Now it's proven. No wonder why a lot of companies get her as endorser, it's because she really is that influential. I wonder how much TF she gets for her endorsements? Whatever the price, I know she deserves it.
And because of that,
Philippines’ Cosplay Queen Alodia Gosiengfiao trends on Yahoo. Each week, Yahoo! search editors analyze online queries to see the themes and trends which bubbled to the surface.
Last week (23-29 May) the web was buzzing with pop culture icons including Cosplay Queen, Indie Prince and Primetime Queen.

Bagyong Chedeng: Tropical Storm Chedeng entered Philippines on the morning of May 23. The typhoon which left four people dead and P14 million in damages, reminded people of the destruction that Typhoon Ondoy had brought in 2009.
