I know this will come off as a stupid question but it’s actually a pretty good one. I bet the answer you’ll give me is a well thought of answer, but the actual application? Haphazardly thought over. Hahahaha.
The Philippines have so many aisles and pews. We like lining them up. So the question is this:
When you pass by a group of people, do you give the front? Or the back?
Better question, which is more appropriate to give?
That lady there looks grumpy.
Had to grab the train for a photoshoot yesterday afternoon. Naturally, the lines were long, but thankfully, the train wasn’t cramped. I tried to keep myself entertained so I won’t be too conscious of the fact that I was already running late. Hahaha.
Then two ladies hopped in at the Magallanes station. And they proceeded to be my source of entertainment.
Lady 1: Ang gandang buntis ni Juday.
Lady 2: Oo, pero hindi na siya buntis ngayon!
Lady 1: Kasi nga di ba nanganak siya kagabi, kay Ryan.
Lady 2: Ang saya na ng pamilya nun no.
Lady 1: Shempre. Tapos mayaman ka pa.
(passing by Karylle and Piolo’s Run for Pasig Poster)
Lady 2: Ang ganda ni Karylle no?
Lady 1: Saka sosyal siyang tingnan. Para bang ang classy niya.
Lady 2: Ex yan ni Dingdong e. Yan yung pinalitan ni Marian.
Lady 1: Pangit daw ugali nun eh. Pero si Karylle mukhang mabait.
Lady 2: Oo nga.
(after passing by Kris’s new Belo billboard)
Lady 1: Tingnan mo tong si Kris, balik na kay Bicki.
Lady 2: Pano, hiwalay na sila ni James. Yun lang naman ang nakasira ng friendship nila e.
Lady 1: Siguro si Bicki rin ang derma ni Junjun Binay. Di ba sila ni Kris?
Lady 2: Ay hindi naman siya mukhang nagdederma.

I love MRT people. Hahahahaha. Especially when they talk like this. :))
I introduced Dylan to Rodic’s. For those who studied at UP, this eatery is a staple. :) It serves what I believe is the best tapa I’ve ever tasted (or at least, those quickie made ones). So when Dylan picked me up for breakfast one time, I decided to take him to a Rodic’s branch at the end of Maginhawa.
We formed a habit of drinking Berocca for breakfast (in hopes of creating a stronger immune system).
After having their usual tapsilog (of course, it’s the usual for me since I’ve been having it for almost a year now), Dylan ended up looking like this.
That's one happy face right there. :)
Then we noticed something on the menu. And we had a hard time stifling our laughter. We didn’t want to be rude; it was barely 10 in the morning!
I'm sure you'll spot it, just look closer. XD
Ah, it’s the simple joys of life that never fail to make a day better. :)
Thank you for a memorable breakfast.
Now, I don’t think I’ve been around long enough to have enough documented proof of Pinoy celebrity goofs, but I do have a handful of them.
Each one more hilarious than the first.
Something about the erring factor of these high-profile personalities really tickles my funny bone. Hahaha. I know that sounds mean, but I have my finals on Monday, and I need distraction to at least keep me sane. I do after all stress out a lot when it comes to these things.

That darned degree.
Everyone has been talking so much crap about yesterday’s hostage-drama at the Quirino Grandstand. I believe if I share my thoughts on this matter, it would have satiated the minds of the many of you who have read different versions of the story, rumors and fact, and my opinion will be merely just an opinion, not an affirmative action to improve whatever.
But because I have a big mouth, I do have one thought to share (and I have shared this with others already): I hope someday our government can make this country safe enough for my children to never have to live elsewhere. There. I said my piece.
In light of all the drama, we receive good news. After an 11-year drought, we finally placed again in the Miss Universe Pageant! Yes I know it’s such a “shallow” thing to celebrate, but the last time we won was Miriam Quiambao in 1999, first runner up and that’s because she fell flat on her face and became so effortlessly graceful. It’s a no-brainer.
Now that's Filipina beauty.
This year, Venus Raj swept the hearts of many. In online polls, she would always be part of the favorites. Hello? Why the hell not? This woman literally fought her way to represent the country for such a title. She showed the world that what the Filipina wants, the Filipina gets (one way or the other — and by the other, I mean something still within the realm of being morally acceptable and just).
Anyway, I thank my good friend Pau Forbes for sharing this link. These are a bunch of Venus Raj fans watching the pageant via live telecast.
And as someone great and important and had the right words said: “Mourn the losses, because they are many; but celebrate the victories, because they are few.”
So you see, one person can change your mind about a country. And it need not be the one with the gun.
