2010 is almost in everyone’s lips these days but the Palace occupant is as usual the denial queen.

She warns that early talk of elections can cause instability. Hohum.

On the contrary, not talking about a peaceful transition in 2010 is what I would call a serious threat to democracy.

After the assumption of Senator Mar Roxas of the leadership in the Liberal Party last Monday and the centennial bash of the Nacionalista Party last night led by Senate President Manny Villar, now comes

Some girls are so full of themselves. They assume that every guy who talks to them are head over heels in love with them and are out to stalk them.

Oh puhleeze!

I’ve installed the new Firefox 3 Beta 1 on my Windows XP system back home. At first sight, nothing is so much noticeable about the new version. Only the bookmark button on the location bar is visibly different. But I’d share to you some features I’ve tried and liked, hoping you’d like them, too.

I am not ready to die. I realized that today. I mean, who will take care of my kids? Who will take care of my husband? My dad would probably be disappointed that I felt this way but its a reality for me. I am not yet ready to leave this world.

Everybody everywhere has at one point in their formative years been fed with the tainted idea that all step-sisters, most especially step-mothers, are sickeningly conniving and brutally wicked, thanks to fairy tales. That and princes would ultimately have to leave their kingdoms in search for their one true love because of either of the following:

1. The nobles are the only “fair” people in the “land” mainly because everyone else do not have the right nor the luxury at vanity;
2. Princes can not just marry local princesses because that would be plain incestuous and immoral, albeit tempting, or that local princesses unrelated to them up to the third degree of consanguinity have long been swept off their feet by other princes from other kingdoms; or
3. Their kingdoms are completely worthless. They know so because they obey a crowned Queen who does not have an ounce of charisma, covers for the serious misdeeds of an obese King, making her more loathed than hated, and whose inkling at giving attention to decrees that are of distastefully mediocre importance make her citizens smirk in shame when word gets to other kingdoms. The prince thus takes it upon himself to leave his people, using only his charm and nobility to win maidens from distant territory whose kingdoms are less chaotic and where he can also get paid at 4x a prince’s daily wage. Thus is the sweet reward of migration, the modern term for the more common old statement that went “in search for his one true love in a land far, far away.”

Are you more capable than your boss?

Worst, you even wanted to acquire your superior’s post knowing that you’re more capable of him/her? If I’m not mistaken you’ve already belittled his/her competence in front of your friends during those times when you were drunk or perhaps backstabbed her that often once career related conversations erupted. This is so unethical and if possible please refrain this.

You know what? Sometimes we think this way when our boss’s started to flood us with deliverables not found in our job description that to some extent he wants us to create reports beyond our imagination.

Moreover, there were also some instances that you need to extend long hours just to provide him/her the report he/she needs that leads us to sacrifice our scheduled dates. Maturity and leadership has also been an issue to the extent that you don’t know were you’re department is heading. These are just the common outcry of a newly hired employee or even to those who’s been with the company for 2-3 yrs. These are but normal if you’re an employee and expect the worst once you’re in there.

What’s your take on the Piolo-Sam-Lolit brouhaha? The P12-million libel suit filed by the two actors against Lolit is, I think, ill-advised and silly. The issue about Piolo and Sam allegedly being seen at Sofitel Hotel would have died a natural death after a couple of weeks of breathless chatter. Such is show-biz. Chismis fountainheads like “The Buzz” and “StarTalk” simply move on to juicier topics after a controversy has outlived its 15 minutes of notoriety. But now that Piolo and Sam have gone to court, they’ve simply kept the issue alive and grist for more kvetching from everyone. Including me.

We’ve all read those inspirational write-ups about how the best things in life are free and because I have no concept of originality whatsoever, I made my own list.

Present-o, The Best Things in Life are Free, Funny+Sexy version!!!

1. Going home late at night from a long day of work (and a little night-out) and snuggling beside your mom on your parents’ bed- though she’d most likely ask why you reek of smoke and liquor, which will force you to leap out and head straight to the shower.

2. Flying a kite on a windy Sunday afternoon with your nephews and nieces. Then pasting your evil boss’s picture on it just before the sun sets and deliberately entangling it with the Meralco wires till it bursts into flames.

3. When in school you have a really really bad case of diarrhea and you don’t want to poop in your building’s C.R.’s (because duh, it’s embarrassing!) and you manage to sneak into the gradeschoolers’ washrooms AND THEN you realize that you put the napkin in your pocket after you had lunch at KFC. Priceless.

And the banner story from the Manila Bulletin today’s big news. Some parts of a Philippine Daily Inquirer article on the same event:

Roxas takes over LP helm, signals 2010 Palace run

MANILA, Philippines — With a disguised campaign slogan for a backdrop, Sen. Manuel “Mar” Roxas II Monday assumed the leadership of the Liberal Party, apparently signaling the launch of his presidential bid in 2010.

LP banners in red, blue and yellow hanging at the historic Kalayaan Hall of Club Filipino in Greenhills, San Juan City, proclaimed “Oras na (It’s time),” which rhymes with “Roxas na (Go for Roxas).”

Roxas, who will officially become LP president on Nov. 30, used the phrase “Oras na” nine times in his acceptance speech. The speech was itself titled “Oras na!”

“You look like someone stuck you in the dryer for too long,” my hairdresser casually remarked to me this morning, as he began to expertly apply highlights on the crown of my head.

Whoa, let’s back up a wee bit here. I know I’ve come down with a cold and am on the verge of a sinus infection; and that my face is ruddy, dry, and patchy because of the crazy weather we’ve been having here (cold spells alternating with blustery Santa Ana winds) — but do I really look like I’ve been ferociously tumbled and tossed inside a scorching metal box for an hour?

Mapapansin sa mga panahong ito na biglaang nagsulputan ang napakaraming gyms sa bansa. Nag-umpisa na kasing maging conscious ang karamihan sa kanilang health at mga hugis. Lalo na sa karamihan ng kalalakihan, patok talaga ang mga gym sa kanila. Kaya nga umusbong na yang mga Slimmer’s World, Fitness First at Gold’s Gym. Sino-sino ba makikita mo sa gym? Alamin.

Mr. Ade Magnaye,

It has come to my attention that in the seven months since you became single, your financial, emotional, sexual, and physical well-being has been in a state of constant decline. Yes, I know, you have the urge to tear this letter apart this very moment, and I don’t blame you. In fact, you have every reason to tear this letter apart and jump from the roof of your garage and land facefirst onto the pavement. Again. Hey, it’s your life and I don’t care if you want to waste it by being depressed like fuck and hiding under a blanket and the 20+ pillows you keep in your bedroom.

But hey, hear me out for once, okay? You fucking need some straightening out. Read the rest of this entry »

So we’re now in the Guiness Book of World Records for having the LARGEST FLAG/BANNER in the world!

Thanks to Ms. Christian Grace Galindez-Gupana of ABS fame. (Yes those famous ABS pills!)

But is the Philippines in Wartime?

Traditionally, the Philippine flag is hoisted or positioned with the Red part on top when we are in wartime.

Are we?

Maybe we are in a war against terrorism?

Maybe we are at war with poverty?

Maybe we are at war with graft and corruption?

Maybe we are at war with apathy and ignorance?

Is Ms. Christian Grace Galindez-Gupana trying to say something to us and to the world?
