Kaya ng Filipino Lumipad... a DAYO Review

Yes! Our very first animated movie!! And we are soo proud dahil ang mga gumawa ng backgrounds ng animation na ito are the same people who animated our story for our thesis! yey!

Congratulations Ms. Grace Dimaranan and Socrates Gucor and Company..... of Top Peg Animation!

Reposted from Oliver Oliveros, Cineaste Guild

We were blown away by the first public premiere of Dayo the Movie last Friday. I almost
shed a tear when the movie finished because Filipinos have finally created the first All-
Digital Animated Movie that we all can be proud of.

Dayo is the story of an 11-year old boy named Bubuy who tries to save his grandparents
who were forcibly taken to Elementalia. Elementalia is a mystical place, where unearthly
plants and creatures reside -- particularly characters from Philippine mythology. The word
dayo is a Filipino term referring to a foreigner in a foreign land. Bubuy is considered a
dayo in the land of Elementalia.

Here are the top 5 reasons why you should watch Dayo The Movie on December 25 (no
spoilers!):

1. The Dayo Storyline is solid

One of the things I didn't like about previous Filipino animated movies was that their
storyline was corny. Dayo was able to bring to life our animist world with the Nuno sa
Punso, Manananggal, Kapre, Tikbalang, Sirena and Syokoy. The Alikupong concept was
brilliant. I wanted to shout, "Finally, Filipinos have made our first digitally animated movie!
Yes!!!"

I just loved the characters of Narsi the Tikbalang (voiced by Michael V.) and Anna the
Mananangirl (voiced by Katrina Legaspi).

2. Dayo is very Filipino

This is the type of Filipino movie that celebrates our Filipino heritage and proclaims it
around the world. You'll be amused by showcases of typical Filipino traits and laugh at
hirits immortalized in the movie. Though the movie glorifies the aswangs in Filipino
folklore, it still alludes to a higher being, which is the King of Heaven, Earth and
Elementalia.

3. A World-Class Theme Song sung by a World-Class Filipina

The Dayo Theme Song "Lipad" was sung by Lea Salonga, with music by Jessie Lasaten, and
lyrics by Temi Abad, Jr.. It was recorded with the FILharmoniKA Orchestra, conducted by
Gerard Salonga. I got the chills each time I heard Lea singing the song during the movie. I
kept saying to myself, "Lipad... Lipad... Kaya ng Filipinong Lumipad...."

Lipad (lyrics)
Sung by Lea Salonga

Ipikit mo ang iyong mata, huminga ng malalim
At saka ka dumilat at pagmasdan ang tanawin
Damhin mo ang hangin sa iyong mukha
Habang nakalutang ka sa ibabaw ng mundo

Lipad, lipad, kaya mong lumipad
Lipad, lipad, ano man ang iyong hangad
Maniwala sa iyong galing, abot mo ang bituin
Lipad, lipad, kaya mong lumipad

Basta't kaya mong isipin, kaya mong gawin
Kalimutan ang kaba, tayo'y sama sama
Maaabot mo din ang pangarap mo
Pagkat sa puso mo, kayang-kaya mo

Lipad, lipad, kaya mong lumipad
Lipad, lipad, ano man ang iyong hangad
Maniwala sa iyong galing, abot mo ang bituin
Lipad, lipad, kaya mong lumipad
Pagkat sa puso mo ay kayang-kaya mo

Lipad, lipad, kaya mong lumipad
Lipad, lipad, ano man ang iyong hangad
Maniwala sa iyong galing, abot mo ang bituin
Lipad, lipad, kaya mong lumipad

Maniwala sa iyong galing, abot mo ang bituin
Lipad, lipad…
Kaya mong lumipad….

4. Watch out for the animated jeepney and animated advertisements

The animated jeepney and Mall of Asia were awesome. The products of the sponsors were
cleverly inserted in the movie. It was really cute and something to keep an eye out for. :)
Although you don't see advertisers' products in Disney movies, it was understandable why
they were inserted in the movie. Thank you to all the sponsors!

5. Standing Ovation-Worthy Animation

To the 400+ animators of Dayo from Manila and Naga, I salute all of you for creating
breakthrough animation that can make each of us proclaim, "I am proud to be a Filipino!"

Thanks to the makers and all the people behind this movie for making us proud of Dayo!

Watch out for it and please post your reviews in the comments section. :)

From DOH.ph



Diabetes

Do you suspect you have diabetes?

Do you have to urinate three to four times at bedtime?
Do you feel unusual thirst?

Do you get tired easily?
Did you have a rapid loss of weight?

If you do, you may be suffering from Diabetes. Don’t waste time. Consult your doctor immediately.

What is diabetes?

Diabetes is a serious chronic metabolic disease characterized by an increase in blood sugar levels associated with long term damage and failure or organ functions, especially the eyes, the kidneys, the nerves, the heart and blood vessels.

How does one become a diabetic?

Diabetes occurs when insulin is not adequately produced by the pancreas. It also happens when the body cannot properly use insulin.
Insulin is a hormone necessary for the proper utilization of sugar by muscles, fat and liver.

What are the complications of diabetes?
In diabetics, blood sugar reaches a dangerously high level which leads to complications.

  • Blindness
  • Kidney failure
  • Stroke
  • Heart Attack
  • Wounds that would not heal
  • Impotence

What are the types of diabetes?

Type 1 – Insulin dependent diabetes

Develops during childhood or adolescence and affects about 10% of all diabetic patients. Sufferers require a lifetime of insulin injection for survival since their pancreas cannot produce insulin.

Type 2 – Non-insulin dependent diabetes

How will you know if you are a diabetic?

If you urinate frequently, experience excessive thirst and unexplained weight loss.
If your casual blood sugar (plasma glucose) level is higher than 200mg/dl.
If you have fasting plasma glucose level of not more than 126mg/dl.

If you have any these symptoms, especially if you are overweight or hypertensive, you should see your doctor right away for proper guidance and treatment.

Who are at risk of diabetes?

children of diabetics
obese people
people with hypertension
people with high cholesterol levels
people with sedentary lifestyles

What can you do to control your blood sugar?

1. Diet Therapy

Avoid simple sugars like cakes and chocolates. Instead have complex carbohydrated like rice, pasta, cereals and fresh fruits.
Do not skip or delay meals. It causes fluctuations in blood sugar levels.
Eat more fiber-rich foods like vegetables.
Cut down on salt.
Avoid alcohol. Dietary guidelines recommend no more than two drinks for men and no more than one drink per day for women.

2. Exercise
Regular exercise is an important part of diabetes control.

Daily exercise . . .
Improves cardiovascular fitness
Helps insulin to work better and lower blood sugar
Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels

Reduces body fat and controls body weight Exercise at least 3 time a week for ate least 30 minutes each session. Always carry quick sugar sources like candy or softdrink to avoid hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) during and after exercise.

3. Control your weight
If you are overweight or obese, start weight reduction by diet and exercise. This improves your cardiovascular risk profile.

It lowers your blood sugar
It improves your lipid profile
It improves your blood pressure control

4. Quit smoking.
Smoking is harmful to your health. 5. Maintain a normal blood pressure.
Since having hypertension puts a person at high risk of cardiovascular disease, especially if it is associated with diabetes, reliable BP monitoring and control is recommended. See your doctor for advice and management.

If there is no improvement in blood sugar what advice can I expect my doctor to give?

There are drug therapies using oral hypoglycemic agents. Your doctor can prescribe one or two agent, depending on which is appropriate for you.

1. Sulfonylurea – Glibenclamide, Gliclazide, Glipizide, Glimepiride, Repaglinide
2. Biguanide – Metformin
3. Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors – Acarbose
4. Thiazolidindione – Troglitazone, Rosiglitazone, Proglitazone. Remember

If you have the classic symptoms of diabetes:

See your doctor for blood sugar testing

Start dieting

  • eat plenty of vegetables
  • avoid sweets such as chocolates and cakes
  • cut down on fatty foods

Exercise regularly
If you are obese, try to lose some weight
Avoid alcohol drinking and stop smoking
If you are hypertensive, consult your doctor for advice and management\

Saucy Chronicles: One Trip to UK

Disclaimer: The author took workshops to internalize the kikay character

So i was like soo excited one weekend, kasi I was not so jam pack with any pictorials or any social event.. so I was like, available to make tambay with Jed and his mom..

and we were like soo rich that we decided to like decorate their house with Christmas lights... so we like bought a couple of lights (ISO CERTIFIED) sa Rob and then went to this some kinda rich sounding mall, coz there's GOLD tagged in its name, Pure Gold Imus.

And to my surprise there was this clothing haven, as in like, imported goods lahat, kaso they were some kinda, used na daw? they call it Ukay-ukay, but for rich persons like us, its UK.

it was heaven, not only with imported clothing but also with other articles such as boots.


I really really wanted to buy myself a pair of boots but unfortunately, my feet is like ginormous, merong isang nagkasya sakin, pero, haller, why would i buy there.. kahit na 380 pesos lang mga boots nila don...

(a kikay secret: mas amoy athlete's foot pa feet ko kesa sa mga boots nila!)

cosplayer?

So after accepting the fact na masyadong pang-mayaman ang feet ko for UK.. I decided to check out their blouses.. and I found this super trendy plaid blouse (which is "in" by the way).. the texture of the blouse is like wool, medyo makapal at parang close to new... pero again, mashado akong rich, madami akong pera pang-kain, in short, the blouse does not fit....super sikip especially sa braso part.. argh! asar!


There are also lots of items for the kids, so you guys who want to give to your inaanaks could check UKs out for stuffed toys...




There are also a number of kinky stuffs for your loved one... but lemme ask you if you'd buy this article from a second hand shop? Just imagine how it looked on its previous owner...

haha.. and err.. i had my haircut by the way. certified kikay with bangs na.

now call me Bangs Gervacio (Bangs Garcia?)

Got No Emphaty for Marky?

Whoah. Are people not updated with the news or I’m just bakya?

First its Rico Yan,

then Marky Cielo.

Who’s next?


Nah, just joking Jed. Just cant believe that two of the guys whom Jed shares semblance with died of the same cause.


Bangungot.



Or did they?



Rumor has it that Rico Yan overdosed with drugs and speculations in my office said that Marky Cielo committed suicide.



Waaaaa, affected ako kay Marky sobra, men, who would wanna see the creator at 20? It’s the time when we become chimneys for puffing packs and packs of cigs daily and when we set aside our daily dosage of Liveraid to couter the gallons of alcohol we take….

Eto yung kasarapan ng buhay, and sad to say, Marky wont experience it anymore.

He lived a good life, kaya nga kinuha agad ni Lord eh.

Kaya Jed, wag ka mashadong magpakabait, ayoko pa mabyuda!

Now, thank you lord, dahil kahit overeating ako lagi, hindi ako binabangungot ng matindi.

Sorry, Twilight fans but I'm in a lousy, spiteful mood that I need to post this just so people who actually have a strong dislike for Meyer's caliber and story would be affirmed. Fans, you're in for a rude awakening...but only if you're ready. If you don't want this to influence you (which will definitely happen since it's powerfully informative) then DON'T READ. This is extremely controversial and might just hurt your feelings if you are a fan.

DISCLAIMER: There are some arguments here that I agree with, some crude revelations that I found enjoyable and entertaining. But I do not own this article. If you wish to file a compaint, this is the source: http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Twilight

Image:Bellasue2.jpg

Twilight, along with its cash-cow sequels New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn is a four novel long, vampire romance series for young adults by hack writer Stephenie Meyer, who successfully proves that Mormons cannot write good fiction for shit. Chock-full of one-dimensional characters and completely devoid in originality, it reads like a 12-year-old's fanfiction, or Anne Rice for teenyboppers. Nothing within the series can even vaguely be compared to the term "well-written." Instead, the books are a regurgitation of every vampire cliché known to man, simply copying and pasting every online vampire novel together until it would appeal to any girl that read it. Each sequel is significantly longer than the previous one, leaving sane people to wonder how Stephenie can say so little in 400-900 pages. The majority of the books are made of dialogue, allowing each chapter to sound like a drama-filled role-playing session (which the fangirls are probably very familiar with) and also fucking up the book's concept of time. For example, within the course of a five minute conversation, the characters are able to order, eat, and pay for dinner at a restaurant. More than half of Twilight is just characters giving wry smiles, chuckling, hissing, glaring, flaring nostrils and raising eyebrows during some vapid, angsty conversation. The stories are written in first person, from Bella Swan's point of view -- but since she's completely lacking in any characteristics, it's easy for the reader to forget. If you want to know just how horrible Twilight is, it's on par with Tara Gilesbie's masterpiece My Immortal, only with spell check and a sad attempt at trying to disguise unoriginal ideas, My Immortal is actually a troll, Twilight is a legitimate novel making it epic fail. The maddening thing is that Twilight isn't rotting on fanfiction.net like it should be, but making millions of cash monies. The author is in Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People, because apparently catering to the fantasies of fugly goth girls who wouldn't know a good book if it hit them in the face makes you noteworthy. For some reason, there is no Rule 34 of Twilight yet seen, thank fuck.

Plot

The books are cooking in the cesspool of the modern monster-drama genre, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, the Anita Blake series, and American Idol, where instead of being terrifying and ripping people in half, the monsters live among humans, go to high school for no apparent reason, and shine like a thousand crystals under the sun. If you dig a hole in middle-class suburbia and throw in a 16-year-old girl, an objectified emo vampire who hates himself and a date-raping werewolf, you get the gist of the series: a hopeless romantic bitch obsesses over her vampire boyfriend who's been a virgin for a century.

Twilight

The first book in this train wreck. Bella moves to a place no one cares about called Forks, which is a primarily Redneck logging town IRL and meets a vampire named Edward Cullen. Somehow, Edward finds Bella's incessant bitching and moaning attractive, so they fall in love during the space of a chapter and a half. After three hundred and something pages of nauseating flirting and Edward's family somehow enjoying their secret vampire identities being in jeopardy, a plot finally falls from the sky; a group of hobo vampires show up and want to suck Bella dry. In the end, the Cullens try to protect Bella, but her mom gets kidnapped by the vampire villain, James, and demands Bella comes to him alone so he can kill her. Bella throws logic out the window, and rather than coming up with a plan, decides it's best to confront James alone, ditching the two friendly vampires who were protecting her in the first place. Blindly obeying the villain's demands results in Bella getting the living snot beaten out of her, breaking her legs and ribs and almost turning into a vampire, but all is well: she heals just in time for Edward to take her to the prom in the epilogue.

New Moon

OH NOES! EDWARD LEAVES BELLA. Why is never really explained. Oh, wait, he wants to PROTECT her. How Meyer comes up with this shit I'll never know. Afterward, Bella becomes super emo. So emo, in fact, that she doesn't do anything for a while, which makes for a super exciting sequel. Jacob, a Native American who totally wants to be BFF's with Bella fills in during Edward's absence, fulfilling Bella's need to be a complete attention whore at all times. Bella also has a dream where Jacob becomes a wolf-- WHAT COULD THIS POSSIBLY MEAN?! Eventually Jacob tells her he's a werewolf. A new vampire villain, Victoria shows up and wants Bella dead because the Cullens killed her boyfriend James in the last book. This gives the werewolf tribe a reason to make Bella the center of attention as they try to protect her. The book then takes a page from "Romeo and Juliet" and Bella tries to become an hero but fails hard. Rosalie 'accidentally' tells Edward that Bella is dead, so Edward goes to Italy to become an hero, but he also fails as Alice and Bella stop him just in the nick of time. The Cullens and Volturi debate over whether or not Bella should become a vampire, and Jacob is extremely butthurt now that he's just friends with Bella. Oh yeah, and Edward proposes to Bella. New Moon is also the the longest book in the series. Disregard that, Eclipse is longer. Disregard that, Breaking Dawn is even longer and hereby wins the Trophy of 2008.

Eclipse

A love triangle ensues between Edward, Bella, and Jacob. The furfag Jacob is now purposely acting like a douche to all vampires because he's jealous of Edward. It's also here where Bella's primary objective in life is to get sex from Edward, but he wants to wait until marriage. Victoria, the evil vampire bitch from the second book comes back and masses an army of vampires to overkill Bella, probably because of the precedent set by Peter Jackson that the third story in a trilogy should always feature an epic battle. Rather than asking, "Why the fuck should I risk my life and fight an army of vampires for this bitch?", all the werewolves and vampires in Washington join forces to partake in the battle. Before the siege, Jacob considers killing himself if Bella doesn't kiss him. Frenching ensues, and Bella, the cheap harlot, realizes that she loves both Edward and Jacob, because she is completely inept when it comes to making decisions for herself, and Stephenie apparently can't think up a better conflict which would make Bella seem less retarded. Bella eventually decides to go with Edward instead of Jacob because who wants to marry a furry? Conveniently, the vampires and the werewolf pack suffer absolutely no casualties during the battle, deus ex machina much? And ding-dong, the bitch (Victoria) is dead. Eclipse clocks in at 629 pages in length.

Breaking Dawn

The last book in this series. from BELLA'S perspective, thus letting Meyer make at least one hundred other books from different perspectives. Four days before it's midnight release, Iowa and Texas revalidated their inclusion in the union once and for all by selling copies of Breaking Dawn early. Thousands of masochistic fangirls swarmed Yahoo Answers! rabidly defending Meyer's intelligence and denying that Bella gets knocked up after the wedding with Edward's death-defying sperm (living sperm in a body fluid-less guy who's been dead for 90 years) and gives birth to a demon spawn that tries to kill her from the inside out, drinking her uterus blood and breaking her ribs, spine, and pelvis. Insert Meyer's anti-abortion diatribe here. To save her life Eddy gives Bella a cesarean section with his teeth-- no, I'm not making this shit up. Oh, and this was Edward first time having sex even though HE IS NEARLY AS OLD AS TIME ITSELF and TEH HAWTEST THING IN THE UNIVERSE!

Further reminding us she is Mormon beyond belief, Meyer named the baby Renesmee (Mormon tradition often combines two family names to create one fucking retarded nonsense name). And the middle name is Carlie (Carlisle + Charlie). Renesmee Carlie Cullen. Proving she is a big fan of pedophiles, Meyer has Jacob "imprint" on baby Nessie (the LochNESS Monster) who will be grown in the span of six years (convenient.) Yes, people: the 16-year-old spurned lover wants to sex it up with the mother's newborn mutant daughter. Now Jacob put past transgressions behind him, and Bella and Edward can go screw each other while Jacob babysits/fucks their daughter.

Also, Bella got married to Edward, became a vampire, and the rest of the book was preparing for a battle to protect Nessie from the Evil Vampire Gang, a battle which anti-climatically never happens. The book ends in a magical field of sugar-plum fairies, gumdrop rainbows, and orgasming unicorns with "and then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever." The spoilers were true but die hard fans aren't laughing. In fact, the Twilight army has pretty much dumped their weapons and are agreeing with the rest of the world in thinking that Ms. Wish Fulfillment should lay off the crack. The most awesome thing: the butthurt fans are raging over just how terrible Breaking Dawn ended, and are returning the book in droves after reading it. Meyer is very upset.

Midnight Sun

Also known as Twilight 2: Electric Boogaloo, this book will be the same old stupid shit from the first Twilight, only told from Edward's perspective, undeniable proof that Meyer is not only shameless, but also lazy, she gets to recycle all her old dialogue, meaning she only has to write approximately 2% of a new book. In the unedited first chapter released on Meyer's website, it is revealed that Edward can kill a whole room of people in a minute. He also has a guro fetish, and an eating fetish. Seriously. It's coming out soon, but it's the same as Twilight, just from Edward's perspective, meaning that this time you'll get to see his Bella stalking from his point of view, and some detailed descriptions of bestiality before he rips out the jugular of his animal prey (if he was smart he'd eat Jacob and his problems would be solved. But unfortunately for Edward, the woman who created him lacks common sense). This book plus the following Twilight Guide book and the movie companion version of the book just prove that Stephenie is just milking these fangirls for all they're worth.

August 28, 2008: Midnight Sun leaks onto the interwebs. A butthurt Stephenie Meyer wrote about how sad she is about the leak on her website. Midnight Sun was clearly going to pay for a new house and a better wardrobe whenever it was supposed to be released. The culprit of the breach isn't some l337 hacker, but in a true showcase of stupidity, Meyer herself. Apparently she's been throwing around unfinished drafts like they were confetti, giving one of the copies to Rpattz, the guy who plays Edward in the shitty movie adaption of Twilight so he could "better understand his character". Rpattz, pissed off because he got stuck playing a character he hates (seriously), leaked the Midnight Sun manuscript in retaliation. Meyer is so butthurt about the leak that the book has been canceled indefinitely. Someone needs to call the WAAAAHMBULANCE! There is now a Publish Midnight Sun (PMS) Petition full of illiterate aspie fangirls bawwing and begging for Midnight Sun in caps lock. This is all according to Meyer's diabolical plan. First, she announces that she will stop writing Midnight Sun. Next, millions of fangirls weep, sob and plead for her to continue, thus stroking her ego.

The Author

Now, why in the hell would anyone subject the world to imminent doom by writing this crap, you may ask? Because she's a Mormon? Oh ok, things make more sense now. Graduating from Brigham Young University with a Bachelors Degree in English, Meyer has the best education you can get from a school which gives the Eucharist and the alcohol-free blood of Christ in the cafeteria (note the links at the bottom of the college's front page to The Church of Latter Day Saints and the Missionary Training Center). Looking at her writing abilities, apparently getting a Degree in English is about as hard as baptizing a dead person. But instead of teaching kids about compound sentences and verbs, she decided to write a book. Her "saga" shows an author that (a) is tired of reading vampire stories on Quizilla and decided to write one herself or (b) knows what the masses like and delivers, despite the fact that it means writing on the same level of every 12 year old girl who's touched the internet. One implies that she's just another angst-whore; the other implies that she'll sacrifice literary quality for money. Her website details that the idea for Twilight came in a dream she had about a sparkling vampire in a meadow blabbering on about how hesitant he is to love a mortal. Three months later: Twilight was written and on its way to super stardom. Why write in first person? It's because the entire series is actually a fantasy that the author had. She wishes she could be Bella, and decided that she could profit from the fantasy.



I wrote the book for myself.

—Stephenie talks about her self insert dreams



All I can guess is that when I write, I forget that it's is not real.

—Stephenie on her wet dreams

After being hailed as the next J K Rowling, Stephenie suffers from a severe case of unwarranted self-importance. (She butts people in lines for bathrooms because she thinks she is hot shit.) Meyer goes so far as to actually brag about how easy it was for her to become an immediate success with all the little 12 year old girls and stupid fucks out there buying her shit. A side note: about all of Meyers photos try to hide how overweight she actually is. Maybe if she spent some time jazz-ercising and less time writing vampire fanfiction, her husband would actually touch her and she wouldn't have to dream about Edward fucking Bella all day long. Her husband probably just fucks the other two wives he's married and Meyer is just there to make money.

Many fantards are worried about Meyer. They wonder what exactly she is smoking. We believe she's on meth or crack. Perhaps she's on heroin, since her self-insert Mary-Sue Bella-fucking-Swan has a boyfriend who regards said self-insert Mary-Sue Bella-fucking-Swan as his heroin addiction.

Characters

Bella Swan

Possibly the dullest, whiniest, and most weak-willed bitch of a main character you'll ever find outside of online fanfiction. If the name didn't give it away already, she's nothing but wish fulfillment for the author, Stephenie. The name "Bella" is actually Italian for "beautiful," so her name actually means "beautiful swan." Like oh-so-many protagonists for romance novels, she's the "average, ordinary, everyday girl" archetype, and constantly gets into life-endangering situations from which she cannot herself escape, thus becoming a damsel in distress. In an attempt to not make her absolutely perfect, the author gave her a fault of being really, ridiculously clumsy, which the Mary-Sue article will tell you is not an actual fault. If you have any doubt about Bella being a Sue, just read this description of Bella from Meyer herself.

Most of Bella's "character" is her whining about how she can't do anything without falling over. Despite the fact that she shows no evidence of any interesting personality aspects and can't do a goddamn thing right, everybody inexplicably loves her anyway, with a total of five guys lusting after her jailbait physique. After attending her new high school for one day, she becomes "liek, teh most popular girl in skewl" by doing jack shit. Evidently, Forks is one of those assfuck-nowhere towns where a new kid in the local high school is such an incredible occurrence as to garner the attention and awe of every single student and faculty member in an entire school, because clearly, they have nothing better to occupy their attention. Rather than come up with a reason for why she's so popular, the author decided to simply have Bella point out the mystery. Much like the protagonist of My Immortal, she can't walk three feet without being hit on or almost raped. It's astonishing that droves of women aren't offended by Bella Swan's character, since she is the very embodiment of the helpless, save-me-from-the-bad-person woman who is incapable of doing shit on her own without the aid of the other characters. It is also widely considered known that Bella Swan is the self-insert of the author, which results in lulz of epic proportions from people with common sense. Fucking Edward also makes Bella a necrophiliac. Way to be, Bells, way to be.

♥♥♥Edward Cullen♥♥♥

The vampire of Bella's affection, he's pretty much a talking mannequin. In the first book, before he was BFFs with Bella, he revealed himself as a stalker, following Bella to her house, and watching her masturbate sleep through her bedroom window. To any sane person this would be the signal to call the courthouse for a restraining order, but it's okay here because Edward is made of liquid sex. Every sentence describing him features the words "perfect," "flawless," "beautiful," "astonishing," and/or "breath-taking." (Here's a fun game: take a drink every time Meyer uses some elaborate adjective to describe him. You'll be in the hospital by chapter seven.) He has absolutely no characteristic flaws, making him nothing more than more wish fulfillment-- wait, I lied, Edward is an atheist, that's a flaw, especially for a Mormon writer.

He is at least a hundred-years-old (which means Ultimate PEDO since Bella r 16, lulz) and a vegetarian vampire, since he abstains from eating humans (but pet owners watch out! He could be eating your cat as you are reading this!). There is no moment where he isn't in complete control of Bella. When it comes to her, he is unyielding and possessive and not hesitant to have a bite of anyone else who's considering her, this including Jacob Black. Edward can also read peoples' minds, a skill he frequently uses to cheat on game shows. Oh, wait! He can't read Bella's mind, because she is special and unique like a pretty snowflake. However, it is revealed in Breaking Dawn that Edward can't read Bella's mind because, in all actuality, she has no brain waves and/or thoughts. Yeah, she's that "special"

The vampires in the novel evidently don't burst into flames when sunlight touches their oh-so-perfect skin; in fact, a chapter where Bella and Edward frolic in a forest shows that vampires sparkle in the sunlight like pretty fairies. In the third book he proposes to Bella because he doesn't want to have premarital sex, even though he has been a virgin for a hundred years, further solidifying his character as a man who doesn't exist. Edward can also play the piano, and his sonatas have been known to literally make a girl's panties dissolve. Along with this, some argue he can make the straightest of guys gay for him, or even the most feminist straight for him. But these are just myths. All other characters in the series are irrelevant because none of them are Edward, proving that the power of fangirls and obsession is as strong as it's ever been. Oh yeah: EDWARD IS TEH SEX PEOPLE, DON'T DENIE IT! Yes, yes he's not.

In Breaking Dawn, Edward also explained how he and his family are so rich: he has been pimping out pregnant ladies since 1901. No word yet on how the fan girls are taking this horrible tragic piece of news. He also has secret buttsecks with Jacob Black whenever Bella isn't looking. Breaking Dawn also revealed that Edward's real father is Count Chocula.

Despite being renowned worldwide due to his horrendously sparkly penis, Edward's only fans are sexually repressed 16-year-old girls, with the only exception being the book's author, who invented Edward due to the lack of sex in her marriage. It is revealed in the epilogue, that he gets eaten, along with the rest of the cast and twilight universe, by hellsings Alucard for stealing his fangirls

Jacob Black

Jacob Black is a fifteen-year-old werewolf Native American teenager with a massive sex drive. Along with being a self-proclaimed mechanic, Jacob is also an obsessive fanboy over Bella, and faps to her at least 100 times a day. When he is not trying to get rowdy with other werewolves, he usually spends a considerable amount of time masturbating in the privacy of his garage to thoughts of a Bella covered in bondage, whenever he gets tired of playing with bombs and motorcycles. He is madly in love with Bella despite the fact that he is well aware of her affair with Edward; he has even thought about a threesome. This scenario also causes Twilight fans to have wars with each other, leading to mass internet bloodshed and emo tears. One half of the fanbase raves, complete with big fangirl tears, that Bella is going to marry Jacob, the other half believes Bella is going to marry Edward. But don't get this confused with all the other totally original vampire/werewolf romance novels. It is just as bad as the Harry Potter and the Zutara shipper wars in which everything supporting one side is over analyzed or just plain made up. The losing side are obviously the Jacob and Bella ships since Stephenie Meyer clearly has no sense. As anyone with a brain knows, Jacob is a good man, a cute furry, and not an abusive loser. Unfortunately, he won't win Bella in the end. Actually, you know what, this should be praised, as he is too good of a person to have to live the rest of his life with a bitch like the protagonist. And he doesn't, Jacob instead falls in love with Bella's and Edward's baby. Well played, Meyer. Well played.

Renesmee (Nessie) Carlie Cullen

Nessie Cullen is Bella and Edward's mutant hybrid spawn-of-Satan kid. It was named after the Loch Ness Monster, Bella's true love interest. Its full name is Renesmee Carlie Cullen. Yeah, I know what you're thinking: "What kind of a name is Renesemee?" Obviously, Bella was high on crack at the time she named her kid, and could only think about combining the sorry names of her real/vampy parents. Nessie took after her mom, and endorsed the Mary-Sue way of life. Although it tried with all its mutant might to kill the bitch on its way out of the girl's stomach, Bella survived, and spends most of her time coddling the mini-monster (when she's not off having sex with her equally horny husband).

Besides being really cute and having lots of pretty white teeth, Nessie also has the joy of growing super-fast; which is ironic since vampires aren't supposed to age, so it proves the author doesn't even know her own mythology. Its soon-to-be-husband Jacob Black only has to wait seven years to begin the banging. So romantic. Don't you wish you could have started your period when you were three years old so you'd be ready to give your mommy's cast-off boyfriend a kid by age six? Although most of the fandom hates Nessie, they should feel sorry for the thing. After all, its own father tried to squish the living daylights out of it. Plus, as Bella said before, it's a hard knock life having a limitless credit card, being a gorgeous vampire, and having people love you no matter who the hell you kill or how much of a retarded bitch you are (seriously, somebody needs to wean the author off of all those drugs she's on).

Note: the following people are secondary characters who nobody cares about.

Alice Cullen

Alice Cullen is Edward's perky step-sister who has the nifty ability to predict the future, which like Edward, allows her to cheat on game shows. She very much enjoys throwing parties like her long lost brother Corey Delaney. She is said to resemble Taylor Swift, Rachel Leigh Cook, and Amy Winehouse. Along with moving like a gazelle, Alice is said to rival even the toughest of the tough. Fangirls like to think that she, along with her God-like step brother Edward, can and will kill Chuck Norris. This is the biggest example of a lie in the history of mankind, even more untrue than the cake.

Jasper Hale

Jasper is a HALE. Like Edward and Alice he has some sort of power but it's pretty crappy compared to the other two. He also has a very big penis and loves to sing some songs about the confederacy. A southerner at heart, Jasper is known for participating in acts of incest with his brothers and sisters in his past lives, and, naturally, in this life. His new daddy Carlisle didn't like that, so when he was incorporated into the family and did the deed with Alice they changed his last name to Hale so that his attempt at incest resulted in fail. He has held a grudge against Carlisle and the rest of the "Cullens" ever since. Why not being a fucking Cullen is reason for anything other than extreme joy is beyond anyone with common sense, but we cannot hold this against poor Jasper, because it is not his fault that he is an inbred retard. Between singing about Southern rights and driving his pimped out Dukes of Hazard car, he's by far one of the most fucked up characters in the book, and is obviously the author's original version of Edward before publishing convinced her that main characters involved in incest would spark controversy with the Mormons who make up over 9,000 percent of her fan base. As revealed in Breaking Dawn, we find out that Jasper is actually bi. He once was apart of a dance troop who preformed all around Mexico. He earned his nickname, Jazz, from his ability to do the perfect Jazz Hand dance. Jasper also loves to spend his time sexing it up with his nomadic friends Peter and Charlotte, dying his wig different colors of blond, and going into vampy-mode at the sight of blood.

Rosalie Hale

Rosalie HALE is a spoiled slutty blonde whore. She only became a vampire after getting raped by her "soon to be" husband. Carlisle kidnapped her and after some pointless whining she became a vampire. Like every single fucking girl in the series, she's liek, super jealous of the special and unique Bella. She's engaged to Emmett Cullen but readers speculate she'll dump him for some other guy (such as her brother Jasper) soon enough. She is also apparently regarded as the most beautiful woman in the world.

Emmett Cullen

Emmett Cullen is often described in the book like a bear. He is in fact the son of a naturalist who, after accidentally giving himself a mild tranquilizer while attempting to knock out a bear, wound up having unprotected sex with said bear. If you can't do the math, this makes Emmett a half breed. Emmett became a vampire after he hooked up with Rosalie at a brothel and is currently suspecting she is more than willing to dump him for another, more attractive man. There is much debate as to which will win Rosalie's affections at the end of the series: Emmett's huge, bear-like self, Edward's sex levels of over 9000, or the natural animal magnetism of her brother, Jasper.

Carlisle Cullen

Carlisle Cullen is a senile, retard in town. A dodgy doctor by day and a vegetarian vampire by night. The truth is that he originally wanted to be a vet but after all of the animals in his surgery died under mysterious circumstances, he decided he'd go into operating on people instead. When this didn't work either, he fled the country and joined the Peace Corps in Canada, where he got gang raped by some old, fugly vampires and became their slave for a few decades. It was after escaping, with the use of a rusty spoon and a dildo, that he met his soul mate, Esme.

Esme Cullen

The wife of Carlisle and the "adoptive mother" of his shit faced family. Esme has no real role in the book, except for being a subservient bitch who bends over, whenever big boi Carlisle wants. She generally strokes Bella's face and tells her "everything will be okay." She has no real skills and just plain sucks. Seriously...check out the chapter of "Eclipse" when Jasper trains the Cullens to gangrape newborn vampires..she gets pwned. Hard. In her past life, Esme jumped off a cliff to become an hero after her baby died. But failed. She was found in the morgue by Carlisle "Necro" Cullen and turned into a vampire. Every day since then, Carlisle has regretted this decision, but is afraid to leave Esme's bitch ass. She has a hardcore case of stalker and a virulent strain of herpes (which explains why she and Bella get along so well: they have SO MUCH IN COMMON!!!!.

The Volturi

The Volturi are composed of three gay men and are highly regarded as vampire royalty despite the obvious fact that they do nothing but hump each other day in, day out and practice kitten huffing. They also enjoy hunting other vampires and have also been reported to be serial cannibals, even deadlier than Hannibal Lecter as well as that they think that humans, particularly babies make tasty snacks. The Volturi are also known to frequent gay bars in their spare time and fantasize about raping other vampires such as Edward Cullen and Lestat de Lioncourt.

Charlie Swan

Bella's father. He bought that bitch of a daughter a car for her sweet sixteen, and she got angry at him because of it. She later forgave him, because the author didn't want Bella driving an ugly car around. He can't cook, and most probably lived off a combination of Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks before he started expecting Bella to have dinner on the table every night. Likes to fish with his lover/bitch Billy Black, Jacob Black's father, whom he bought off of his fellow white men over 100 years ago. He wants Jacob and Bella to have sex and get married so they can all be family.

THE-BITE-ME-EDWARD-CULLEN-FEVER (coz this cant wait until tomorrow)

okay so Im practically blogging tonight because I have been elated ever since I stepped out Cinema 3 of SM Bacoor tonight.

I really had no plans of watching tonight. Naisip ko gagabihin na naman ako ng uwi, but since Jed wanted to go to SM B to buy me a Filinigrenesia commitment ring (yep, and Im loving it!).. I decided na, sige na nga, makapanuod na nga...

Sa totoo lang, matagal ko na narinig ang Twilight.. hindi pa siya FAD nabasa na ni Rain yung book ang she was gushing to me the descriptions of this so called hot guy named Edward Cullen... ako naman, tamang kinig lang sa kwento ni Rain...

So as a dear and very supportive friend to Rain, I took an effort to find teasers and trailers of Twilight in Youtube. that was I think months ago, hindi pa nga settled yung casts that time eh...

At nako, all of a sudden, bigla nalang naging Hit ang e-book ni Stephanie Meyer at eto na nga, kung makapagsalita ang lahat, akala mo X nila si Edward....

Well, I give credit to the first few people na alam kong Orig Twilight Addicts.. hindi ung ibang tao na nakikisabay lang sa Fad...

1. Rain Pilones
2. Kristine Facto (Ogilvy)
3. Tin Hernandez (SSC)
4. Weh Esteban

Nung nasa CR nga ako, naiinis ako sa mga bebot na kasabay ko, yung itsura nila, ung tipong di naman nagbabasa ng libro, tas kung makapag kwento eh akala mo naman from the very beginning binasa na nila Twilight.. amf...

pero maganda nga raw...

at nang makita ko na opening credits...

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

exciting!

Super Ganda niya! As in... cant wait to read the book!! Damn...

di ko maexplain yung feeling, as in hindi kami nagpapansinan ni jed, pareho kaming tutok sa screen.. halong kilig at takot dahil sa fight scenes... or say, "hunting" scenes..

Ive been fascinated with Vampires before (Anne Rice novels) but after reading three books, I decided to stop. May sa-demonyo yata yun eh kasi Ive suffered with nightmares non.. But sure thing i did learned a lot, kasi mejo historical accounts ang approach ng story telling ni Anne Rice...

Eto namang si Stephanie Meyer, still the old folklore about the clan wars of Werewolves and Vampires.. plus un nga, may love story na twist... maganda rin kasi very modern yung setting and they get to expose themselves during sunlight...I

(watch out sa part where Edward shows himself to Bella sa sunlight)

Truly worth watching, and of course worth reading!

Well, I have yet to read Book 2-4.. but now I want to shout to the world that I am proud to be one of the volunteer blood donor for Edward Cullen!

Dilemma [awww] **career, karir and courier**

upon reading my title, i bet Nelly and Kelly Rowland popped in your mind...

[plus the LSS worthy portion, "and i.. love you,,, AWWWW, and i need you... AWWWW" ]

okay, so here it goes, im having this dilemma about a lot of things.. from as simple as which earrings to pair with my outfit to as complex as which career path should i take...

sabi nga nila, walang kulay ang buhay pag walang problema, so eto, nagcreate ako ng mga problema para maging makulay ang sinabawang buhay ko..

Problem Number 1: Career

okay, so by December, I will be leaving Ogilvy. I have worked for them for 5months din.. pero as for my opinion, I havent done anything significant.. although at first, Ms. Leah's briefing to me was that I am mostly needed for research and I'm proud to say that Ive done everything to make the research work time-saving and substantial. Pero yung unang-unang research ko, grabeh not palpak naman, pero sobrang feeling ko yun yung make or break ko, imagine nagpresent ka ba naman sa Directors...

eh again, halfbaked research yun.. so ayun.. i guess thats one big factor why i havent received any offers to stay.. plus the fact na cost cutting ang office and that they are on freeze hiring, which actually sucks not only for me but for the number of applicants who were already interviewed and are continuosly hoping that they'll land a job in Ogilvy...

Okay, going back to the problem, things actually turned murky ever since i had my century long internships... before, I was just a simple girl. All i wanted was to be part of the media. I was willing to go and cover police beats, unearth news worthy crimes from the police blotter and interview stout investigators... one time, I even covered a Labor Day rally, thank god it was peaceful....

that was when i was still in Print Journalism... and i realized, there's no way id get rich writing for Bandera.... so then i jumped to GMA Network.. it was one hell of a crazy ojt.. i only attended my program, Imbestigador for two weeks, because the other two weeks were dedicated for ELection 2007 coverage.. so i guess i did not felt the TV media life that much....

Then, I decided for myself.. IM GONNA go and pursue ADVERTISING...

but then, one professor of mine who taught Principles of Advertising thought I was stupid and not creative enough, so he gave me a C plus grade and shredded my resume I submitted personally at his office, Jimenez Basic...

So my dreams of pursuing Advertising was shattered, and then there was Events Management... it was fun.. it was exciting.. and you get to meet a lot of people.. OKAY THEN, I WILL GO AND PURSUE EVENTS MANAGEMENT...

but then I received a call from the professor saying that I have to leave Activenture Events because I was "in" at Ogilvy, Darn. Just when i was starting to enjoy the events management life...

amf.

thought i was under advertising, but another big shock, i was in public relations.
whoah. never knew there were agencies that handle PR... so when i was interviewed, i thought i was there for events, so i thought it was for PR, but no, it was for research. okay, i told myself. i could learn by observation, right?

so 4 (turning 5) months came and i was still researching.. i did a couple of writing stints, media relations and follow ups (which also ended up bad) and did some partying too...

pero eto, the end is near, so i must face, the final curtain....... did i did it my way?

amf.. by december, i'll start bumming around na naman.. sabi ni sir dy, okay na daw akong magstop mag-ojt eh... ewan ko ba, wala pa nga akong 800 hours eh.. ewan..

Pero on the other side, i could divert my time to the following:

1. thesis - defense on January
2. The scholastican - Folio, Magazine
3. Selling my product - Wafu Face and Body Powder (coming soon!)
4. Advanced Marketing Subject - where I was voted Events secretary for Major event in Feb
5. SLIM DOWN and prepare for my walk (sa stage for GRADUATION)

Problem Number 2: "Karir"

hmmm.. So its November 20, and my former number 2, who incidentally was also my problem number 2 before, called me up today. It was his birthday. I forgot. Pero walang kaso dun, especially after all the bad things he did to me.

Althought aaminin ko, nabother ako, at tinanong ko sarili ko, bakit ako affected sa pangungulit niya. He wanted to see me, kahit kain lang daw sa labas, treat niya, bawi lang daw sa mga KASAMAAN niya sakin.

Ako naman, bakit pa? eh may boyfriend na ako ngayon... at masaya na ako ngayon...

pero bothered talaga ako... ewan...

and about jed naman... ayokong magsabi ng nararamdaman kong hindi maganda dito... kasi mababasa niya to, alam ko...

nakakalungkot lang na parang ako na naman nagaalaga sayo.. ewan, ayoko sabihin dito. alam ko may mga family problems ka din, kaya ayoko makisabay pero nainis lang ako, pauunahin mo na nga lang ako sa jeep di mo pa magawa.. alam ko eto na simula eh, ganyan din si Adrian dati, sa simula, napaka gentleman.. pero nang lumaon, wala na rin pakialam sakin. wag niyong sabihing iba ka, kasi parepareho lang mga lalaki.

PUSTAHAN ISANG MILYON, PAG LUMOBO PA AKO, NAGKALIBAG SA LEEG, DUMOBLE ANG PUSON AT MAGING APAT ANG BABA IN SHORT, PAG NAGKAANAK NA AKO, MAHALIN MO PARIN KAYA AKO??

talaga naman ang mga "karir" pampasakit lang ng ulo. hmmp.

Problem Number 3: Courier

Twas Mama's bday last November 19... and i was planning to send her a package... via a courier.. Fedex siguro.. or whatever na mura..

now i was thinking which gift should i buy her.. syempre me value dapat but definitely dapat hindi mabigat..

nakakatawa man, pero ang wishlist ni mama ay:

1. DVD ng Series ni Kim Chiu at Gerald Anderson
2. DVD ng Iisa Pa Lamang

at naisip ko..
3. DVD ng Mamma Mia (which I recently watched and applauded for the feel good treatment of the whole film plus for casting PIERCE BROSNAN whom Ive been drooling for for years)

4. CD ng ABBA
5. Duster
6. Plus my newspaper clipping ng Phil Star Supreme where I was featured...
(para naman one proud momma si mudraks ko...)

pero ang catch, ayaw naman niya, bakit, ewan ko dun..

kasi daw uuwi na siya... oh shit! im sooo excited na to see her.. at pag hindi natuloy, i might hate her for the rest of my remaining life..

lang beses na niya ako pinaasa.. amf..

3 years old niya ako iniwan.. walang uwian... ngayon 21 na ako, gurang na...

kung pwede lang ipackage niya ang sarili niya and send via courier eh, sana matagal na siyang andito.....

--end--

Shores of Caylabne Bay [november beach escape]

Escape

sure thing, i may have escaped a lot of my responsibilities.. like TS presswork, and thesis.. but i wouldnt miss this opportunity to hit the beach.. ive been dreaming about the beach ever since i went to puerto galera last august.. and now, my cousin tagged me along with her to make use of the GC that her boss gave her.. overnight hotel accomodation at Caylabne bay Beach Resort...




Are we there yet?

So i guess, its free? what the heck, Go! even though i have no idea which part of cavite it is located... So Jed was like, "Nagtanong na ako pano pumunta, Naic daw sakyan natin...." so my cousin Geli and I was like, "Okay, tara, baby bus nalang, wala yatang bus ngayong saturday..."

Sabi namin ke manong driver, "Manong, dadaan ba sa Naic? Sa may Caylabne Resort?"

"Ha, Eh restaurant yun eh?"

"Hindi po, Resort po...."

"Sige, pagtatanong nalang natin sa bayan yung Lovely Resort"

TOINK. ano daw? Lovely resort daw? Pero sige, mega wentuhan nalang sa bus.. until we reached Naic.. at sumigaw si Manong sa mga barker..

"Hoy, San nga ba yung Lovely Resort dito???"

Geli and I chorused, "CAY-LAB-NE RESORT PO!!!!"

At sumagot ang isang pasahero, "ah, Kaylab-ne?" Hindi dito sa Naic yun, baba kayo dun tas sumakay kayo tricycle papuntang Maragondon...."

"Ah ganon po ba?"

"Oo. tas pahatid kayo sa sakayan ng Caylabne"

(baby bus will stop. drops off three inocent vacationists na hindi ala.m ang patutunguhan...
)
So, we rode that baby bus around 12:45, and we left around 1:30... Php 45.00 pamasahe pa Naic.. then sakay trike, mga 30 minutes ride ulit, Php 60.00...


Diane: (to trike driver) Manong, alam niyo ung Caylabne?

Manong Trike: "Naku, anlayo po nun...."

Diane: Oo nga po, tinatanong ko lang po, di naman kami magpapahatid dun... TOINK.

after a few minutes of travel...

Manong: Kita nio yung bundok na yun? Sa likod non, dun ang Caylabne..."

Geli and I chourused: Owwwwsss????

Binaba kami sa waiting shed na may mga mokong na trike driver ulit...

Apparently, dahil 3pm na non, wala na daw shuttle papuntang Caylabne.. pero nabrief na kami na ang singilan is around 400php..we have no idea how long at how far yung byahe.. at sabi nung driver, 500, sabi namin, 400 lang ung sabi samin.. laki na nga non, dapat pala 350 lang.. pero ayos lang, we ended up paying 450 parin naman eh...

so ayon nga, totoo pala, aakyat ka ng bundok! kaloka! ano na toh.. nadaanan namin ang Puerto Azul at Marines Camp Ternate Base...



Sarap to shoot ala-Westlife MTV

At last, narating na namin ang main gate ng Caylabne and the scenery was break taking.. damn, naiisip ko yung MTV ng MyLove by Westlife, kasi kita mo yung coast...


(now playing, overseas and coast to coast to find a place i love the most, where the fields are green to see you once again, my love...... tra lalalalalala lala)

at akala naman namin, walking distance nalang ang beach.. pwes nagkamali kami...

another 15 minute jeep ride na naman... oh cmon! are we there yet?!!


at nang marating namin ang front desk.

shet, parang nasa retreat house kami!

welcome drinks!

A place to Chillax

The place was very quite, napapaligiran ng kabundukan at mga puno.. di ko nga maimagine san ang dagat dito, dahil as in, bundok talaga siya...

Yung mga display pa puro mga angel figurines at kung ano2 pang,, mejo religious..talagang feeling mo nasa retreat ka...

after signing a few papers, the bell boys directed us to our room..


it was sweet!

hehe,, suite room 406.. nice! two beds.. carry lang! laki!
pero eto na, yung impression na pang-mayaman talaga yung place...
parang california look yung mga facade.. may mga coconut trees pa at kung ano-anong puno...

at nalaman namin, 7000 per night pala yung room namin! (phew!)

We're Rich, Lets hit the Beach


we cant help but to joke around na "were rich eh, si daddy kasi, is like having his dinner in Paris.. and he's like sending out the chopper nalang tomorrow to fetch me kasi he does not have time tomorrow to personally fetch me..."

hahaha.. pano ba naman, yung place kasi, parang may mga kotse lang ang can afford at yung rooms at yung food.. ang mamahal!!!

oh well, it was afternoon na when we changed for our beach attires for a few photos...

and the scenery was great! indeed the beach side was in the middle of two mountains.. hindi masyadong malinis, pero pwede nang pagtyagaan.. although fake white sand yung beach.. kasi beneath the white sand, puro brown sands eh... haha.. okay narin... kunwari white sand tlaga...

tanaw from the bay yung Bataan and then at the other side, Batangas na daw..

Lafang and Gobble Chunks of Pork Fat

ewwy yung spareribs nila, as in, literal, 3 inches yung taba nia then 5mm lang ung laman, then 1 inch taba ulit, then buto na.. tangina.. worth 390php.. masarap pero alta presyon abot mo, nakakasuka.


masarap daw grilled porkchop na kinain nina Geli plus i forgot anong gulay un...


Bartending 101

dahil walang katao-tao sa lugar, pero may bar, Marina Bar. we still decided na mag-inum at nagpaturo kami sa bartender, si kuya jimmy... haha... ng kung ano2ng mix ng cocktails...


okay naman, dami ko nainum, tinamaan nga din ako...

Beach, Body and the Boys
hmmmm....
