Post image for Honest advice for Shalani: Quit hosting ka kaya?

I think Shalani Soledad is one classy lady, don’t you think? O ayan Malen ha? I said something nice haha! Wag mo akong gyerahin hehehe! She sort of reminds me of Jackie Onassis. I know, that’s one tough shoe to fit and I might even anger rabid Jackie Onassis followers for the comparison, but that’s [...]

Post image for A nation of wussies

In Philadelphia, Sports is a religion. Believe me. You can cuss the Pope. Not their sports. The game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings over the weekend did not happen because of the blizzard. Governor Ed Rendell was angry. He said that if this was China, no matter how bad the raging blizzard [...]

(Photo Credits: Inquirer) No, it’s not just the case of blue-naped parrot with a green beak on the new peso, where the beak should have been red. But apparently, the location of Tubbataha Reef is also in error as well as some spelling. Oh well. History is pretty early for the Noynoy Aquino Administration. His [...]

Ayaw pa-awat si brother. Nagka-kwentuhan na kami about this. But I was back talking with dear brother in California. Again. He was insistent na galing nga daw nang Espana ang mga lolo namen, which means mestizo ako, half-spanish, half-human. Eh kaso, bisaklat nga ilong ko noh?! So that’s not possible dahil halata masyado ang ebidensya [...]

Bill Clinton will forever be my hero. Love him. But one of the things that I do not like from his administration was his stupid “Don’t ask don’t tell” crap. Today, this policy is history. For the first time in American history, gays would be openly accepted by the armed forces and could acknowledge their [...]
