The blogger’s prayer
Dear Lord;
I pray for wisdom, to understand each hate blogger;
I pray for love and patience, to ignore their hell blog entries;
Because Lord, if I pray for strength…
I’ll beat the crap out of these bloggers!
Amen.

Post image for I was at the bar…

I was at the bar last nite with a friend.
Me lumapet, nakiki-chika.
Di ko kursunada, masyadong presko.
Tapos na ang bagyo, mahangin pa ang gago.

After a while… “Can I have your number?”
Sabi ko, “It’s in the phonebook.”
“But I don’t know ur name” sabi nya.
“Well, it’s in the phonebook too!”
