I received a membership card from San Miguel great foods the other day.Astig..I hope my culinary skills will be better thru this at sana sipagin akong magluto. Hopefully, with a new house i will have a new drive to cook even for myself lang or i will lleave the cooking to Eric na lang and i will do the eating! nyehehe I was watching all the drama in tv about Erap being freed thru executive nclemency with much thanks to Madam Gloria. Huh? I was fooled..i thought there was still a love-hate drame between those two but apparently they best buddies na? WTF?? Is Erap that desperate to be free? He practically sold himself to the devil. Tsk tsk Im sure may kapalit yan. Gloria won't let him off that easily just for the sake of national reconcillation and peace shit. Scary and duo ni GMA at ni Erap. Watch out.
October has been the shit for me. Shit when it comes to work. Overtime,pressure and shitty management. I dunno howlong can i hold on to this. I really try to motivate myself so i would be able to live day after day. Im wishing that days will go faster and time to tick faster at night and a lot slower at days. I just realized that i haven't been into the Cinema for a long time. Last movie that i watched siguro was Transformers. Gaadd..that was sooooooooo long! Wala din kc mshadong maggandang movies ngayon. Speaking of October, i wish i was at the closing program of Oktoberfest instead of walking along Metrowalk feeling envious of everyone who is having a great time there. I was having second thoughts..but i had no one to snag so i can have company. Took a deep breath instead and sulked while i walked towards Antel bldg. So much for the free beer. Curses!
My Mom and Pao is coming over on Tuesday. Congrats to my cousine Naan for passing the CPA Board. My social life will be busy again with family stuffs. I need a long weekend! I need to pamper myself naman..btw, im moving this Sunday, just imagining the loads of stuff that i have to pack scares me. I have tons of cartons waiting for me as i go home this morning. Oh well, so much for a relaxing weekend.

As I bent down to drink from the water fountain, I heard the cellphone in my hand ring.
“Hello? Nasa’n ka?” asked H.“Sa may Edsa Walk,” I replied, referring to one of the walkways at school.“Diyan ka lang, pupuntahan kita,” he said before hanging up.
I wondered what this was all about. I had just come from dance practice (in all my sweaty, jazz-pants-and-t-shirted glory) and was to stay an extra hour at school, as per H’s instructions earlier in the day. We’d known each other for a couple of months, hanging out both in and out of school. The night before, I received a forwarded message from him, one of those standard goodnight messages. Except that this standard message had The Three Words tacked onto the end. I didn’t know if it was a mistake or if he really meant to send it. So I just chose not to acknowledge it. Deep down, though, it hit me that I felt the same way, and it sucked that I didn’t know if it was, from his end, for real or simply an accident.
H showed up at Edsa Walk, cleaned up real nice and smelling really good. “Naks naman, naka-tuck-in pa!” I teased him.“May date ako eh,” he answered.“Ah talaga?” I managed to whimper with a forced smile. I tried not to let on that I felt like someone had just punched me in the gut. Over the past couple of months, I had been telling myself that I was happy enough just being his friend. But after that text message—and feeling like I had the wind knocked out of me with his casual declaration—I knew that wasn’t true.
“Teka, blindfold muna kita,” he said, before we walked any further. Amid my protests and confusion, he covered my eyes. “Ang bait niya talaga, pinuntahan ka pa niya,” he added. I didn’t think my heart could sink any lower, but it did. I knew he was referring to a guy whom I was sort-of dating for a while.
Earlier that day, H gave me a call, asking what time I was going home.“6:30,” I replied.“Gawin mo nang 7:30,” he said. “May surprise ako sa ‘yo.”Throughout the day, I kept pestering him about the surprise. “May kinalaman ba ‘to kay [name of guy I was sort-of dating]?” I fished, hoping he would say otherwise.“Ah, alam mo na,” he answered. I couldn’t tell if he was joking.So there I was, walking with a blindfold over my eyes, and thinking that H was serious after all. I love surprises, but whatever this was, I figured I would be disappointed. Because it wasn’t from H.
Over the course of a couple of months, he treated me incredibly well, walking me to class, giving me home-baked goodies, supporting me through nerve-wracking oral exams. People warned me about him because he was the head of an unofficial all-male org at school, one that didn’t have a stellar rep. “Why are you so nice to me?” I constantly asked him, skeptical and also a little nervous about what it all meant. “Wala lang. Why are you so nice to me?” he would always reply.Apparently, this niceness extended to helping out that other guy.
“Sa’n mo ba ako dadalhin?” I protested as he led me through corridors. Eventually, he had me sit down. He removed my blindfold and I found myself in the middle of his tambayan, surrounded with countless candles—and what seemed like all the members of his org! And beside me, H was seated. He handed me a bouquet of flowers, and his friends started singing a song called “The Promise.” It was a good old-fashioned harana, something I never would have expected from H, who wasn’t the ligaw type. One of his friends was documenting the whole thing on video. “I’m never gonna do this for anyone else,” H would later explain. (He would also reveal that, even though we had only really known each other for a couple of months, he had had a crush on me since high school!)
While the boys sang and the candlelight danced in the December breeze, one of H’s friends was even blowing bubbles! It was hilarious, and the whole thing was just touching and sweet and unforgettable.
“I’m not afraid to say…” sang all the guys.“…I love you,” finished H. And everyone said, “Yihee!” and all its variations.“Read the card,” H urged me, indicating the card that came with the flowers.I did as I was told. Now you know why I’m so nice to you, it said. And then, The Three Words.
We’ve been together ever since.
** This makes me go awww...hehe cute story noh? I got this from Tisha Alvarez's blog in femalenetwork.com

First, it was the Glorietta blast that scared me to wits. Now its wildfires in SoCal. Operations in our office has been hampered with the on-going wildfires in California where hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes as fierce brush fires burn out of control and were predicted to worsen today. It's like 9/11 all over again.
The California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, declared a state of emergency and said it was a "tragic time" for the state. At least 300,000 people had been told to leave San Diego county, where hundreds of homes have been destroyed. The state of emergency opens the way for federal government assistance. At least 1,000 homes have so far been destroyed and thousands more are under threat from the 14 major fires burning across the state. Neighbouring states including Nevada and Arizona are contributing crews and equipment, and the Pentagon is sending six water-dropping planes to help with the effort.
Suddenly, irate clients became meeker, asking us to pray for their safety. Biglang bumait lang dba? lol Anyways, let's pray for the filipinos in California, knowing that Pinoys dominate most of the population in SoCal. A big bulk of my relatives are mostly in San Diego and Los Angeles area and i deeply hope that they are fine.
Note to self, these are not terrorist attacks. This is the force of Mother Nature bringing back all the abuses that mankind has done to her.We really have to learn how to take care of our environment. It's the only one we've got.

Harry Potter fans, the rumors are true: Albus Dumbledore, master wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts, is gay.Dumbledore, played by Michael Gambon, was in love with his male rival, the author of Harry Potter books says. She was asked by one young fan whether Dumbledore finds true love."Dumbledore is gay," the author responded to gasps and applause. She said Dumbledore was once infatuated with the winsome wizard Gellert Grindelwald, but the two became rivals when Grindelwald turned out to be more interested in the dark than the good arts. Dumbledore went on to destroy Grindelwald.
Rowling declined to say whether her "outing" of Dumbledore might alienate those who disapprove of homosexuality. "He is my character. He is what he is and I have the right to say what I say about him," she said. Not everyone likes her work, Rowling said, likely referring to Christian groups that have alleged the books promote witchcraft. Her news about Dumbledore, she said, will give them one more reason.
At first, I am at lost for words. I didn't expect this at all from JK Rowling but this made me love Dumbledore more! Maybe that is the real reason why Voldemort is so afraid of him. Or maybe they had a past together??!! Haha That will make it a lot more scandalous dba? OMG!!! lol
To have one of the coolest, most respected wizards in history and mentor of Harry Potter as gay, is the bravest move JKR has ever made.

I have been sick since saturday..boo! I was not able to go anywhere so i missed the BIG SALE in Robinsons, i was rarin' to go pa naman. After the Glorietta bombing Eric and I are avoiding going to malls muna. I received a txt message telling people not to go to Ayala malls because it's one of the targets for the next bombing which includes Trinoma. I fear for Eric kc he's having his intern at The Block in SM North and he always go thru Trinoma to ride the MRT going home. Nakakatakot pa naman ngaun coz you'll never know when will the bombings will strike next.
Natulog lang ako nung weekend..as in super tulog at pahinga lang. It's nice to sleep in on weekends for a change naman. Peace and quiet for a moment there before i started worrying about having too many things to pack for my move. So far, im down to 5 boxes..5 more to go. Im too tamad to organize and my back aches from all those hauling. You see, i am moving to a bigger apartment, where i can have a real sala and a real bedroom for myself and another one for my sister Arni. This way we have our own spaces when we fight..hehe My Mom and Paolo are coming over next week for kc sembreak wwhich i really look forward to. I miss my brother so bonding time nnaman kme nyan.
Super pressure ngaun sa office. TL's vs Managers ang labanan. Unfair lang kc hawak ng Tl's puro newbies ang hawak at puro openers. Sa managers core group puro OC's. Gudlak naman!!

After the news about the lead content in China made toys and food products with formalin solution, what would be the next with China?Yesterday,i received a text msg from my friend about "calamares". The gist of the SMS message says like this “Wonder why the calamares sold on the streets cost cheap even it cost a lot per kilo on supermarkets and restaurants? These squids actually came from China and were sold here in the Philippines per sack. And what makes the squid fresh from China to the Philippines? The answer…it is being treated with a formalin solution.” Yummy!
WTF??!! I love calamares! It's been Eric and I's fave now since it has been the latest street food craze now. Thinking of it just makes me hungryThe squids are dozed with a vinegar concoction of garlic, onions and chili. The vinegar retards the malansa smell and gives the squids a tingling taste. Yum! Hepatitis galore! haha No wonder why Filipinos are addicted to this new street food. Not only it tastes good but it also costs cheap. Your tummy would be satisfied for only 10 pesos. Each ring by the way costs 3 pesos.
Initially this food is being served in bars and restos together with some beers. A very good tandem indeed. With the growing popularity of calamares here in the Philippines, we can’t blame our kababayans serving this fried squid in street carts. Yeah I know, they want to make a living out of it too. I’m quite hesitant to try it before since most street foods are often said dirty and may cause you a lot of diseases but that didn’t stop me from tasting it. One thing that makes me wonder is that why most of the street foods are often much better compare to those being cooked at home.
Whether or not the colorful street food anecdotes are but isolated cases is immaterial, because for many of us, anti-street food socialization starts at home when our parents prohibit us from buying any of this “dirty” foodstuff like isaw baboy/manok, betamax, adidas, tenga, fishballs, etc. But deep down our subconscious yearn for the dangerous and unknown. The adventurous eater in us just waits for that moment to rebel and eat whatever is not included in the mainstream menu.Eating this delectable street food would teach you to be careful not to spend too much if you run on tight budget. It would be practical to buy the squids fresh from the market and cook them yourself, but then again where is the novelty in that? As they say, street food is best eaten - on the streets.

The unexpected twist in PBB's celebrity edition happened when Rodriguez was ushering in the latest addition to the housemates, model-actor John Avila, to the PBB house. It dawned on the bubbly TV host that it was a trap a little too late. She made a dash for the exit without finishing a spiel in front of the housemates only to realize that Big Brother has locked her inside his house. She could only cry and utter words of disbelief. "I can't believe you're doing this to me! Oh my God!" she wailed.
Mariel sobbed as she told the amused housemates that she suspected that there was a plan to turn her into a housemate. She admitted that she was unprepared for the turn of events, repeatedly saying that she cannot believe what was happening. When Big Brother presented Rodriguez with a welcome gift -- her personal belongings -- Rodriguez knew there is no turning back.
Tagged as “Kapitbahay ni Kuya,” Mariel was in shock when her worst fears came into reality. While in disbelief, Mariel accidentally pronounced the “P” word on national television. 1 week na siyang nagsasabi, natatakot ako gawing housemate ni Kuya. Even UBER co-host Bianca Gonzalez was shocked on the turnout of events this afternoon.
Even before she entered the most prestigious house in the land, Ethel Booba has already been making waves regarding her decision whether to be Kuya's housemate or not and the reasons behind it. But Ethel hasn't enough power to resist Kuya's call and ends up as the final celebrity housemate this edition!
Scheduled originally to enter the house last Sunday, Ethel declined Big Brother’s invitation for her world seems to be upside down and too many personal issues are waiting for her to be settled. At first though, she was about to agree after claiming that Kuya’s abode is like a rehabilitation center which will help her get rid of her vices like smoking and drinking. After making her last call to her boyfriend, she proceeded to pack her things despite the fact that things are not looking well with her sweetheart. The condition of her suitcase though reflected her chaotic thoughts. As such, she eventually said no when asked for the last time if she’s really sure about entering the big yellow house.

Back To The 80's: Di Pa Jologs
Ito ang mga huling taon ng dekada '80 at ang mga unang taon ng dekada '90. Ito ang panahong uso pa ang makiuso. Kung ginagaya mo ang style ng mga artista, hindi ka tatawaging jologs. Ito ang panahong tapos na ang martial law, pero malayo pa ang new millennium. Hindi pa high-tech pero di naman old fashioned. Saktong-sakto lang! Kabilang ka ba sa henerasyong ito?
1. Paborito mong panoorin ang Shaider, Bio-man, Maskman, Mask Rider Black, Machine Man at kung ano-anong TV sitcom ng Japan na isinalin sa Tagalog. Break muna sa mga laro kapag alas singko na ng hapon tuwing Sabado dahil panahon na para sa superhero marathon.
2. Alam mo ang jingle ng Nano-Nano. (isang kending lasang champoy)
3. Nanood ka ng Takeshi's Castle at naniwala kang si Anjo Yllana talaga si Takeshi at si Smokey Manaloto ang kanyang alalay. (Pinagiisipan mo - pano sila lumalaban sa final challenge na parang nakasakay sila sa isang bumpcar at nagbabarilan sila gamit ang water gun gayong sa Japan ginagawa yun eh tagaPilipinas sila?)
4. Alam mo ang pa-contest ng Kool 106 na uulit-ulitin mong bigkasin ang "Kool 106, Kool 106" hanggang maubusan ka ng hininga.
5. Naglaro ka ng Shake-Shake Shampoo, Monkey-Monkey-Annabelle, prikidam 123, Langit-Lupa-Impyerno, Syato, Luksong-Tinik, Luksong-Baka, 10-20 at kung ano-ano pang larong nakakapagod.
6. Pumunta ang mga taga- MILO sa school niyo at namigay sila ng samples na nakalagay sa plastic cup na kasing laki nung sa maliit na ice cream. (at nagtaka ka, bakit hindi ganito ang lasa ng MILO kapag tinitimpla ko sa bahay namin?)
7. May malaking away ang mga METAL (mga punks na naka itim) at mga HIPHOP (mga taong naka maluwang na puruntong na kahit Makita na ang dalawang bundok.) Nag-aabangan sa mall na may dalang baseball bat at kung anu-ano pang mga sandata. Sikat ang kasabihang "PUNKS NOT DEAD!" pero kung gusto mong mag play safe, pwede mong tawagin ang sarili mong HIPTAL.
8. Alam mo ang universal uwian song na "Uwian na!" na kinakanta sa tono na parang doon sa kinakasal.
9. Nagpauto ka sa Batibot pero hindi sa ATBP.
10. Nakipag-away ka para makapaglaro ng brick game. (hi-tech na yun noon)
11. Ang "text" noon ay mga 1"x1.5" na karton na may mga drawing ng pelikulang pinoy. (at may dialog pa!)
12. Dalawa lang ang todong sumikat na wrestler, si Hulk Hogan at si Ultimate Warrior. Naniwala ka rin na namatay si Ultimate Warrior nang buhatin niya si Andre d' Giant dahil pumutok ang mga ugat niya sa muscle.
13. Nagsayaw ka ng running man at kung anu-anong dance steps na nakapagpamukha sa'yong t**** sa saliw na kantang Ice Ice Baby, Wiggle It, Pray at Can't Touch This.
14. Hindi ka gaanong mahilig sa That's Entertainment at pinapanood mo lang ito tuwing Sabado kung saan nagpapagandahan ng production numbers ang Monday hanggang Friday group. (at badtrip ka sa Wednesday group dahil pinakabaduy lagi ang performance nila!)
15. Napaligaya ka ng maraming pinoy bands tulad ng Yano, Rivermaya, Grin Department, Tropical Depression, The Teeth, The Youth, After Image, Orient Pearl, The Dawn, Alamid, Wolfgang, at ang sikat na sikat na Eraserheads. (at aminin mong nakinig ka ng Siakol!)
16. Kilala mo ang Smokey Mountain, (first and second generation)
17. Hindi pa uso noon ang sapatos na may gulong. Noon , astig ka kapag umiilaw ang swelas ng sapatos mo tuwing ia-apak mo ito. Tinawag rin itong "Mighty Kid"
18. Kung lalaki ka, sikat na sikat sa'yo ang mga larong text, jolens, dampa (mga unang anyo ng pustahan ), saranggola at ang dakilang manika niyo ay si GI-JOE with alipores.
19. Kung babae ka naman, ang mga laro mo with you're girlfriends ay luto-lutuan, bahay-bahayan , doktor-doktoran, at kung anu-ano pang pagkukunwari . ang dakilang manika mo ay si Barbie. ( Sikat ka kung meron kang bahay, kotse at kabaong ni Barbie.)
20. Naniwala kang original ang isang cap kapag may walong tahi sa visor nito.
21. Swerte ka kapag panghapon ka dahil masusubaybayan mo ang mga kapanapanabik na kaganapan sa mga paborito mong cartoon shows tuwing umaga tulad ng Cedie, Sarah, at Dog of Landers a.k.a. Nelo. (Hindi ka ba nagtataka na sa lahat ng mga bida sa cartoons na ito, si Nelo lang ang di yumaman at namatay pa ng maaga)
22. Alam mo ang ibig sabihin ng "TIME FIRST!"
23. alam mo din ang ibig sabihin ng "PERIOD NO ERASE!"
24. for girls : malamang nag-away na kyo ng ibang friends mo dahil sa T.G.I.S. at Gimik! LOL! (jologs na kung jologs pero totoo!)
25. madalas kang bumili ng "wonder boy" sa iyong suking tindahan.
26. nilalagyan mo ng pritos ring ang bawat daliri mo at kakainin mong isa-isa.
27. binabatukan mo ang mga kasama mo kapag nakakita ka ng kotseng kuba tapos magtataas ka ng peace sign.
28. at minsan yung linyang "PERIOD NO ERASE" ay may dagdag pang "AKIN PADLOCK, AKIN SUSI" (edi sayo! hehe )
29. noon: for little girls, hindi ka "in" pag wla kang pencil case na marameng pindutan at marameng lalagyan ng lapis at kung ano ano pa...
30. noon : for boys and girls, specially sa barkada, "hook na hook" kayo sa x-men at nagrorole play kayo at claiming na kayo si storm, o kaya si cyclops, etc.
31. noon : wala ka sa "fashion" pag ala kang pop swatch ( ur own personal wall clock at your wrist)
32. kabisado mo ang 3 :00 prayer dahil napapanood mo ito tuwing hapon, at kabisado mo din pati ung "we have just as one nation started the beautiful 3: 00 habit...we hope that this becomes a daily habit with you..."
Bakit kaya ganon? Kahit sang lupalop ka ng Pilipinas naroon, eh nakaka-relate ka sa mga pinagsasasabi ko. Siguro'y dahil wala pang cable at kakaunti lang ang pagpipiliang channels kaya parepareho tayo ng pinapanood. Maaaring wala pang playstation kaya kung anu-ano na lang ang naiimbentong laro na pwedeng gawin sa kalsada o sa isang bakanteng lote. Pero kung ano man ang dahilan sa pagkaparepareho natin ng karanasan, masaya na rin akong naging bata ako sa panahong ito. Masarap alalahanin at balik-balikan. Di ba?
Ito ang mga huling taon ng dekada '80 at ang mga unang taon ng dekada '90. Ito ang panahong uso pa ang makiuso. Kung ginagaya mo ang style ng mga artista, hindi ka tatawaging jologs. Ito ang panahong tapos na ang martial law, pero malayo pa ang new millennium. Hindi pa high-tech pero di naman old fashioned. Saktong-sakto lang! Kabilang ka ba sa henerasyong ito?

32. kabisado mo ang 3 :00 prayer dahil napapanood mo ito tuwing hapon, at kabisado mo din pati ung "we have just as one nation started the beautiful 3: 00 habit...we hope that this becomes a daily habit with you..."
Bakit kaya ganon? Kahit sang lupalop ka ng Pilipinas naroon, eh nakaka-relate ka sa mga pinagsasasabi ko. Siguro'y dahil wala pang cable at kakaunti lang ang pagpipiliang channels kaya parepareho tayo ng pinapanood. Maaaring wala pang playstation kaya kung anu-ano na lang ang naiimbentong laro na pwedeng gawin sa kalsada o sa isang bakanteng lote. Pero kung ano man ang dahilan sa pagkaparepareho natin ng karanasan, masaya na rin akong naging bata ako sa panahong ito. Masarap alalahanin at balik-balikan. Di ba?

This May 2007 Vogue cover features only one black model as one of the world's next top supermodels. The cover story in the new issue of Vogue is about ten young women who a lot of people feel are the new crop of supermodels: Lily Donaldson, Hilary Rhoda, Doutzen Kroes, Sasha Pivovarova, Jessica Stam, Chanel Iman, Coco Rocha, Raquel Zimmermann, Caroline Trentini and Agyness Deyn.
There's a lot of excitement in the industry about the "return of the model." Over the last seven years, or so, the trend has been to keep the focus on the clothes and not to make stars of the models. According to the article, written by Jonathan Van Meter, people who work in fashion haven't been happy with this, and they're dying for models to be stars again.I don't have a problem with that. What I do have a problem with is that if these women are really the new crop of supermodels, it's a sad commentary on how little the beauty and fashion industries have changed over the years. Here it is the 21st century and still, only one woman of color at a time is allowed to come to the party. Of the 10 women featured in this article, 16-year-old Chanel Iman is the only woman of color, and she's one of the five on the inside cover, not the front cover.
Black and beautiful: African-American women haven't had an easy time in the fashion world. As a retort to the seemingly growing problem of lack of black models appearing in print, Tyra Banks, Iman, Alek Weck and Kimora Lee Simmons pose as a cover for Ebony Magazine.
They say black is beautiful. But the fashion and media industry nowadays seems to see only one color. White. This is very evident everywhere even in the Philippines where every Pinay wants to be flawlessly white. That's why ads of whitening products flock tv screens and print ads to promote their own concept of beauty. Being beautiful means that you are white and fair, but if you are dark skinned or morena, you're ugly and discriminated.Im fair skinned but i appreciate all kinds of beauty no matter what their color is. I just don't like the kind of perception that is being projected on.
Beauty nowadays especially when kids get to see it as well. They will be like their mothers who will be obssessed donning whitening junks on their face trying to be whiter to be called beautiful. Personally, i often wonder why so many people envy me being fair skinned. Hindi pa ngako mshado maputi eh compared to the artistas. My titas always asks me what do i put on my face para pumuti at kuminis. I just tell them i just wash them regularly with a cleansing wash like Dove or Ponds. I don't even get the stuffs that says whitening on it. I just need something that can clean all the dirt and removes oil. Yun lang.
For me the culprit is the plethora of advertisers imposing a lanky model with abnormally bouncy hair and porcelain-white skin on us hapless mortals.This kind of thinking is very disturbing. It seems we believe beauty is an ideal-especially when we leaf through glossy fashion magazines and see photos of gorgeous models. Or turn on the TV and wait eagerly for that magical moment when the kampanerang kuba (hunchbacked bell ringer) is transformed into a beautiful mestiza. Incidentally, that's a teleserye that has kids among its target audience. Billboards, radio jingles, television commercials, magazine flyers, newspaper ads, and press releases — media exposure has real impact, especially among more impressionable youth.
It's not the color or the texture of your hair is what makes you beautiful. As they say, Beauty is only skin deep.

Tipid Tip - Remember that baking soda is not just for bakingI know that toothpastes with baking soda are marketed for its whitening effect. So it should be pretty elementary that baking soda indeed has whitening properties. But since I have graduated eons ago from grade school, this bit of information was lost on me.
Having chanced upon a magazine article on teeth-whitening, I saw that baking soda is a TipidTip to make your teeth pearly white. A pack costs about P15 in major grocery stores. Sure beats the BriteSmile procedure I have been fantasizing about for quite some time now.
Here's how:
Clean your toothbrush with running water and tap dry. Put some baking soda in a small bowl or cup or the palm of your hand. Dip your toothbrush in it covering all the bristles. Brush your teeth in a circular motion. Be sure to scrub all sides, like what the father told the kid in the Colgate commercial, when they were painting the fence. (Pag may na-miss kang small spot..) Spit and gargle water to thoroughly wash off all remnants of baking soda. Brush your teeth again, this time using toothpaste. Do this every time you brush your teeth. Then smile. :)

Thank God for relatives with helps me out with everything! After being distressed with a leak on the roof of my apartment for almost 3yrs now..i have decided to
move out. So i started to do house hunting again.
Luckily, my Tita Rose who lives near me in Marikina have relatives on her husband side who owns apartments in Calumpang. Its a 2-story newly painted apartment with 2 rooms for 5k only. Not bad dba? The neighborhood is nice and quiet plus it's near the store, laundry shop, sakayan ng jeep and my tita's house (who said i can raid her house anytime especially i'm too tamad to cook hehe) The place is much bigger than what i have now so i need my sister to live w/ me now even if she insists on living somewhere in Mandaluyong with her friends. No choice cya whether she likes it or not.
So..Eric and I are planning to do a makeover again. Super excited pa cya na magpaint ng room ko at eto pa cya pa daw magmmix ng paint. Feeling professional painter lang dba? lolz I don't want a girly room..something zen and minimalist to avoid too much clutter in my house so im opting for shades of green, light yellow or light purple. My mom and my brother Pao will be coming over end of this month so i have a lotta work to do! Super hassle pa man din ang maglipat..i guess i have to start packing my stuffs na.
Last night, we were watching PBB Season 2 Celebrity edition at Eric's house. One thing...B-O-R-I-N-G!!! And i thought this was gonna be exciting like the first one pa naman..shucks disappointment lang. Anywho, most of my guesses were right, thanks to hours of internet hopping, dko lang natapos kc nakkainis lang. I hated how exaggerated Toni Gonzaga and Mariel Rodriguez was when it comes to their
hosting. Do you need to shout and be that loud ladies???? So like Kris Aquino dba? chaka Buti pa si Bianca Gonzales who did great last night (btw luv her gown!) Only 10 housemates went in the house last night, then the 11th housemate came in kanina who is none other than Gaby dela Merced who is a racing champ.I wonder if one of the housemates would be Mr. Banker from Deal or No Deal. Yun pa man din ung inabangan ko kagabe kso inantok lang ako sa kkahintay. Mas naenjoy kpa manuod ng Kung Fu Hustle sa GMA7, nkkatawa pa!
Oh, i bought a dvd player pla yesterday. It was sooo cool kc it had built in videoke (ikinatuwa ito ni eric) and old school computer games like Mario Bros.,Contra, Twin Bee, Battle City etc. Asteg!! That is way better than PS2 games! I watched dvd marathon of ANTM cycle 4 knina which explains kung bakit wala akong tulog ngaun. hehe
Im soooooo sleeepppyyy....zzzzzzzz!!

Why do i always get sleepy and lazy on Fridays?? Sarap mag-absent eh noh? hehehe Instead i dragged myself to work today kc i still have 5 agents na wala pang benta! I hate giving out benta to undeserving people especially when they don't have transfers or they make no effort at all to make a sale. They are aware kc na they can be transferred to other campaigns. Pag ako tinopak i-EOC kna lang sila instead of keeping them. Nkkainis pa dun sobrang daming newbies that is being endorsed to us everyday! Nkakaloka! I have more than 12 agents now and counting ha..sumasakit tuloy ulo ko kkaisip kung san ko kkunin ung mga benta nila!
Hay wala pako benta..5am na. gudlak sakin!
Anyways, here are some overdue pics that i have recently uploaded in my flickr.

Who is Gretchen Barretto's mystery man???
Photo 1: You see Gretchen in a top down roadster in broad daylight.
Photo 2: The guy comes into full view, he gives Gretchen what seems like a kiss. Notice that rear-view mirror, if you zoom in on the picture, will show that the guy is kissing La Greta's jawline.
Photo 3: It appears to be the aftermath of the "kiss." Gretchen has her eyes closed.
Photo 4: They step out of the car. They're in a parking lot.
Photo 5: They are seated outside a restaurant, which looks like Gourdo's in The Fort. There's a salad and two glasses of white wine.
Photo 6: The guy holds Gretchen's right hand and whispers something. Gretchen is smiling.
Photo 7: A close-up shot of their hands holding each other.
Photo 8: Gretchen is in the act of opening a box, which appears to be a gift.
And it will be interesting to note that in all eight photos, the guy's face is totally concealed. He is perhaps mestizo; but his eyes, his nose, his lips can't be seen from any of the shots' angles. The pictures were taken paparazzi style. He was using a camera with zoom lens that can take an angle as far as 500 meters. The photographer was taking the shot from his vehicle, which was parked slightly across the convertible car of the guy and Gretchen. He could be a professional photographer.
THE FINDINGS. Some people in the thread easily jumped into a conclusion by saying, "La Greta is at it again." Obviously, they're referring to her "Kisscandal" with John Estrada which circulated last June.
Many more are doubtful.
For one, the setting is too perfect. Notice the wine glasses, the gift, the rear-view mirror—they're all in right angles and positions.
Second, it's unthinkable that a lady who recently became the object of public ridicule due to "kisscandal" photos would go out with a guy in a top down car, in a very visible place, and in broad daylight.
Then there's this comment from people in the publishing trade and advertising industry that it's most likely an ad. The setting, the lighting, the dress, the blocking—they all look very orchestrated. And the guy's non-entity makes him look like a "props." It may be a publicity stunt or a build-up for the product. Even the way the photos were attached to the email was in perfect sequence. It could be that a bystander saw the commotion in the parking lot, took pictures, followed them all the way to the restaurant, and leaked the photos on the Net.
The most malicious feedback insinuated that it may be a frame-up: the guy in the photo paid for the paparazzi. Gretchen Barreto has not yet issued any statement. And while we're all waiting for it, we can all just speculate. But offhand, it feels like a rip-off. And it's tasteless. - PEP.ph
After the infamous Gretchen and John Estrada pics...it seems that La Greta is at it again! Shocking dba? What do you think? Real or Reel?? Pero i think this is just publicity or maybe an ad for Olay. I dunno, you'll never know what to expect from La Greta. She's so full of surprises even for herself!

I have been a flip flops girl. Ask anybody who knows me will attest to that. Hell, i even wear flip flops to work! Wala kc kme dress code sa work kya its gud for me. lol We used to have one kya super sinisita ako ni Sir Resi dati kc i always wear flip flops or sandals. I remember bringing 2 pairs of footwear everyday and keeping my crappy closed shoes in my locker.
Ganda dba????
Anyways, I've seen the embellished Havaianas weeks ago in Ms. Pia Magalona's multiply and i have been meaning to post them here. I love Havaianas. I really do! Even if my blue havies strap broke while i was crossing the street on my way to work! Super embarassing moment dba? So i settled for Dupe flip flops ngaun which is surprisingly super comfy din ha. But my love for Havaianas was left untarnished. I want to get my hands on these babies..look!
Ganda dba????
I so want to go shopping now! Lalo na i got my incentive na!!! woohoo!
Damn, I love the smell of money! Makes my ears go ka-ching!!! lol

It has been a busy weekend for me..My Dad came here and my Tita Rolen from Laoag for a surprise birthday party for my dearest Lola who is quite frail and sickly nowadays. Kaya kahit mejo ngarag sa super OT we went to Camp Aguinaldo in my Tita's house where my Lola is. As much as we wanted her to stay in the province where the weather is much better for her health, we had her to my Tita's place where she will be closer to the hospital in V. Luna where my Tita Rema works. With her condtition, we can't afford to put her health in the line.
Hindi ako mashadong close with my relatives on my Dad's side kc i barely see them. But now that im in Manila with my sister we see them more often now. At least for a change nagkikita kme when we have a chance like these occasions. Nkkatuwa si Lola kc even she has trouble in hearing she just stare at us and always ask us why are we all there daw. Kaya we constantly remind here that it's her birthday that's why. There was sooooooo much food! Bagnet from Laoag, Chicken Inihaw, Inihaw na Tilapia, KFC chicken, veggie salad, fruit salad, pancit, pork steak, Sansrival cake from Goldilocks and steamed crabs!!! YUM!!!!! Man, i was sooooo stuffed! If only i could get a taste of everything i would have done that but i was so full that i barely finished my sansrival cake. Buti na lang we had take home bags filled with goodies. hehe
I had a "normal" life for 3 days so sinamantala ko na ung time to sleep and watch tv. I am now hooked on Heroes and Nip/Tuck! I know,i know..wala lang tlaga ako time kya i am so outdated sa mga pinapanuod ko so i rely on dvd's lang. Nip/Tuck was something different. Kala ko it's like House or Grey's Anatomy pero this is quite raunchy because of Christian Troy! Hottie alert ladies and gays lolz Eric seems to be enjoying watching Nip/Tuck not because of the story but because of the sex scenes in it! Nagulat ngako because it was kinda lewd and ridiculously shown especially the shower scenes..talkabout showing some skin! Overall, maganda cya kc kahit pano balanced ung dating. Just don't watch it with kids ok. I watched the Heroes marathon yesterday on RPN while everybody was watching Pacquiao - Barera fight. It was a long and boring fight kc and no KO kaya i switched to Heroes instead.
I love Peter Petrelli and Hiro Nakamura! Gosh! Peter has such a strong face that is so gwapo and Hiro is the coolest geek ever!! I noticed Hayden Panettiere has great lashes! Either those are fake or she's one lucky girl! Damn wish i had those!
Gotta go back to work na. It's gonna be one helluva day again!

Universal Truths About Women
1. I just want to hear you say "I love you". It makes me feel secure.
2. Sex is good and I do want to feel wanted but it turns me off when you think with your penis.
3. I don't want to argue either but there's such a thing as a healthy argument.
4. I am not my hair as India Arie sings.
5. I can speak to you softly but don't think I'm trying to manipulate you.
6. I am not cheap or easy. And don't think I'm trying to play "hard - to - get". It takes a real man to know how to handle a woman.
7. You don't need to tell me the truth about how I look. I just need you to tell me you love me no matter how I look.
8. I recognize the fact that you still look at other women. I just don't like it when you act on it. Appreciation should just be that and nothing more.
9. When you're happy with me, I can't help but want to please you.
10. If I don't feel I can make you happy, it makes me feel less than a woman.
11. I want you to be proud of me. What's a few more minutes to wait when you pick me up if the end result is something you can be proud of.
12. Cigarettes make any man look like a goon.
13. I'm scared if I let a man inside my heart. I've been hurt too many times before.
14. If you can't stand up to me when I'm a brat, you lose the opportunity to feel how much I appreciate you.
15. My heart melts easily when you try to woo me with your kisses and hugs and I do appreciate little "peace offerings". It turns me off when you pretend that everything will be okay as long as you say you're "sorry".
16. You did something hurtful. Expect me to take it up with you. I can't allow you to treat me that way and you better make up for it big time.
17. I don't read minds either. But if you don't tell me what's up with you we're never going to see eye to eye.
18. I dress to please myself first. It's great if it pleases other women and greater still if it pleases you.
19. Don't tease me if I'm gaining weight. Very few men accept women despite their weight and that's a fact. If you're man enough, losing hair won't matter that much to you. A lot of women find bald men very sexy. Do you think a fat woman is sexy?
20. You can talk about golf anytime but if most of your time is spent playing golf, you can be assured I'll be bored when that's all you talk about.
21. If you're married, you better wear your ring at all times. I hate it when you hit on me knowing full well you're not supposed to.
22. It makes me feel you trust me when you ask for my advice.
23. Just because you're the man doesn't mean my opinions are of little or no value. I have my own mind and I appreciate it when you respect what I think.
24. It's important that I am loved, respected and cared about all at the same time. I don't want to settle for anything less.
25. I want every girl to envy me when we arrive as a couple. I want them to want you BUT, don't ever forget who you're with.
26. If you don't want to be yelled at, you better listen to what I am not saying.
27. I do want you to give me compliments... as much of it as you can. It's just that you seldom do. The best compliments always comes from you.
28. I need you to respect me for what I am and treat me well and good.
29. Not knowing how you feel makes me insecure. Insecurity is scary.
30. I love doing things for you. I love it even more if you show me how much you appreciate it.
31. Actions speak louder than words. Words are just words. Lip service is cheap. I ALWAYS know when you really mean what you do.
32. My smile is cheap when I am happy. You can have as much of it as you want and it doesn't always mean I am about to ask you for something.
33. I do want to know about your ex-girlfriends. It makes me feel trusted. I want to think I am your friend too.
34. If you don't share what you're thinking just because you don't want me interrupting, you're not worth listening to.
35. Sensitivity is one of a man's greatest assets. Knowing how I feel without me having to tell you is very much valued. Not a lot of men get that and when they do, you can be sure we're never going to let go.
36. I am not my hair as India Arie sings.
37. A man who dresses well is a great asset. Sometimes it takes a woman to make a man look better. Trust me when I say "You're not going there dressed like that!" You'll appreciate it. Believe me.
38. A true gentleman respects his lady in public even if she disagrees with him.
39. I know I'm pretty. It just feels good to hear it from you.
40. It doesn't matter if my body is proportionate or if I weigh too much. What matters is how much you love and appreciate me for the me that's inside my body.
41. I can give you space whenever you need it. I just wish you wouldn't take advantage of it.
42. I don't expect to know everything you're thinking all the time. I am not that needy.
43. If you cheat on me, you're lucky if I let you back in. And if I love you enough, most of the time , I do.
44. I don't expect you to remember everything about our relationship. Just the really important ones.
45. Just because you're comfortable with me doesn't give you the license to fart, burp, pee or poop in my presence.
46. It's okay for you to watch TV, but I would much rather you handled me the way you hold the TV remote when watching your favorite show. (It's like you never want to let go of it, lest other people grab it from you.)
So i hope this will help the men out there to figure us girls! Naku Eric...i hope you're reading this!

Thursday, October 04, 2007
I have been so stressed out lately that i have not bothered to blog for 2 days. I just posted something i found interesting yesterday and that's it. 2 days nako nagoOT. Shet. Masakit sa ulo ang kulang sa tulog. I don't even bother to eat before going to work. I just wanna catch some zzzz's to compensate the puyat. So here i am bangag and still grumpy about the fuck-ups in my life now. Too much drama that i don't wanna deal with. Ayokong pumanget kaya dedma na lang muna ako. Parang zombie nako..blanko ang utak. Dragging myself everyday to work. I hate this fucking job!!! Arrghh!!!
I just did some blog hopping and i read about the newest racial slur from Desperate Housewives on Chuvaness' blog. Teri Hatcher said was: "… before we go any further, can I check those diplomas because I just wanna make sure that they’re not from some med school in the Philippines." I wish i know how to upload the video here so i can watch it also. Search nyo na lang sa Youtube hehe I know that line caused a lot of racial slur here pero i have no reaction for it. My point is, it's a joke. No matter how sarcastic it was it's a joke. No pun intended unless you take it soooo seriously. Besides, its true. We became famous for our dirty rivers (we made it to DIRTY 30 list of the most polluted rivers in the world), nursing board exam leakage and making fake diplomas in Recto. We are famous for our own wrong doings..karma na natin yan. Kaya wag magreact kc totoo naman dba? Mahilig tayo magcomplain at magreact eh. Learn to accept criticisms and live it with.
On the other hand naman, these crazy Americans should be careful using lines in their programs or movies especially if they're gonna show it worldwide. Hey,im not condemning Teri Hatcher here coz im sure they have scripwriters who writes smart-ass lines. If you want your show to be loved by the majority you gotta have some manners. Don't be "desperate" in getting attention drawn to your show. Geez. Grow up people!

50 Universal Truths About Men
