On being a Novo Ecijano and the 2007 Philippine Elections

April 29, 2007

Despite of the chance that one could get shot while voting in our province, I would still wake up early on May 14 and stand in a line to be able to cast my vote. No, I will not vote for a “dynasty” that calls itself the “New Strength of our Province” nor to the other party that promises the people that they are the future of Nueva Ecija. Because I believe that the strength and future lies within us Novo Ecijanos and not within these politicians who scramble, during the elections, for power while trampling on each and everyone’s basic human rights.

I’m NOT Jealous

April 29, 2007

It’s just that you could have not told me anything about whatever. You could have just asked how and where I was, said how generally exciting your day went, and left all the other details out — period. Was it really that important to you for me to know about whatever? Did you feel so relieved, or so overjoyed, or somehow so proud that you just had to spill it out? Did you think that you were oh-so-cleverly playing with my imagination?

Harry-ing the 7th Book!

April 29, 2007

Note: This contains spoilers about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)I know I shouldn’t be making this one, but what can I do? I’m just a fan!

Anyway, last week, while surfing internet, I came across a New Yorker who had the copy of an e-book of Harry Potter 7. HP7 will be released late July, symepre, I had to read the book! I requested for a copy and now I am currently reading Chapter 10. Although I do not know whether this one is the true copy of the book by JK Rowling, or just a fan fiction, but examining it externally, a 548-paged e-copy of the book is not authored by a fan, still, it is worth reading

Perpetual Succour & GSIS Hospital Program

April 29, 2007

On the third day after our mother suffered a stroke, upon the approval of her doctor we moved her to Perpetual Succour Hospital because (my mother who is a retired school teacher) we wanted to avail of the GSIS Hospitalization Program initiated by Atty. Winston Garcia. Thus we were able to avail of considerable discounts in Room Rates, CT Scan and 2D Echo procedures, a little of laboratory exams, but most important of all, we were able to enjoy I think a whooping 30% discount in medicines bought from the hospital pharmacy. (Why don’t hospitals put an extra ER in their pharmacies so buyers who felt like gasping for breath or experiencing fainting spells upon seeing the medicine bills can easily be assisted?) Anyway, I just want to acknowledge that the GSIS program is a big help but I wish it should be the government’s thrust to launch similar programs nationwide and not just on selected sites.

SEB party

April 28, 2007

SEB a.k.a Seshong inuman ng mga bloggers. Pumunta ka ba? (Did you go?)

If you didn’t, well you definitely missed a lot. ChrisH and I found ourselves at the company of the young’uns friday night. The parteeh started at Yoohoo bar at Metrowalk Ortigas. Unfortunately, they did not serve beer. (Who suggested the place anyway? — JEFF!!!) And so we moved to Dencio’s a few steps away.

It was there that I found out who was who and what was what.

Spiderman 3

April 28, 2007

SPIDERMAN 3
The Greatest Battle Lies Within…

Peter Parker has finally managed to strike a balance between his devotion to M.J. and his duties as a superhero. But there is a storm brewing on the horizon. When his suit suddenly changes, turning jet-black and enhancing his powers, it transforms Peter as well, bringing out the dark, vengeful side of his personality that he is struggling to control.

Under the influence of the suit, Peter becomes overconfident and starts to neglect the people who care about him most. Forced to choose between the seductive power of the new suit and the compassionate hero he used to be, Peter must overcome his personal demons as two of the most-feared villains yet, Sandman and Venom, gather unparalleled power and a thirst for retribution to threaten Peter and everyone he loves.

American Idol gives back: Carrie Underwood sings her heart out

April 28, 2007

The global epidemic continues to expand and infect millions of people around the world. However, alarming numbers have been recorded for South Africa. It is said that millions have died and hundreds continue to die every week. It does not help that there is a total lack of health care and education that would be enough to stop the growing numbers of the affected population. Thousands are orphaned and still many children are born already with AIDS.

Countries, nations, people have moved up to help. And the TV show American Idol 2007 has gone to do its part in this endeavor.

Simon and Ryan visited Africa and witnessed the extremely poor conditions that the people were living in. They saw, felt and tasted the sickness that engulfed the nation. See the TV event here at American Idol.com.

I watched and swallowed in pain. Not because I know these helpless people but because of the reality that I am here, living a good life while they watch their husbands, mothers, and children die. I complain that women are still not treated fairly in this country and realize that women in Africa are not treated fairly - AT ALL. The social stigma that comes with having AIDS is enough to deprive them of medical assistance or the moral assistance that would have given them strength to battle the disease.

Liev Schreiber in CSI Las Vegas

April 28, 2007

It just ain’t the same CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) when there is no Gil Grissom.

But Gil is taking a sabbatical and Liev Schreiber of the movie SCREAM is coming in to take his place.

I must say I am truly disappointed with this move of the show’s producers. This is because, the show’s characters are portrayed by people who do not have the celebrity fame to show for it. This is part of which that makes CSI believable and magnetic. Watching Gil in action - you can imagine that you were actually watching real life right before your eyes.

vote and don’t vote list by in retrospect…

April 28, 2007

since i have often lambasted candidates, senatoriables mainly, left and writeright, i have often been asked to post something positive and/or constructive on my pages for a change, to revel on a candidates’ good looks maybe?? or just to espouse his/her ideals… but when i was just about to start writing about this, i often find myself short of material… there is just not enough good things to say about a particular candidate except maybe gwapo sya or antangkad naman nya or wow! sexy!! BECAUSE [and this is with a capital B, E , COS] there no more such politicians today… those that you can talk about fondly and reminisce about all the good things he or she has done for the country… the likes of Jovito Salonga and Salvador Laurel are no more [yes, Shari, that's how old i am and that was why i was so righteuos...]… so why should i??

My Boobs Are Okay!

April 28, 2007

Yes, my boobs are just okay as if I have one. Before anything else, I’ll be taking a small break from blogging while my Norwegian father is in Oslo. I am off staying with my fiancé Odd since I am just alone at home and busy getting extras for my next film. The Comment Whore will not be doing any gigs this time being that I have something better in store for everyone.

1. This is usually the scenario when I am staying with Odd during the weekends.

Matresses on the floor and just cozily sit or lie around watching DVD films.

The Great Tribute to Weng Weng

April 28, 2007

Filipinos today may not realize it, but a 2′ 9″ action star is beginning to become an international sensation.

Weng Weng, who appeared as leading man in a handful of James Bond parody films in the 1970’s, caught the attention of thousands of international fans who have watched him in DVDs throwing a razor-blade hat to some goon’s neck. In fact, the Guiness Record holder (the shortest actor in a leading role) has a French fansite.

Philippines Next Top Model: Shoes on Top

April 28, 2007

There is nothing more Filipino than Imelda Marcos and her countless pairs of shoes (okay, maybe except for adobo and Payatas). And what better way to pay tribute is to create a photoshoot that would feature both Imelda’s grandiose hair and a shoe.

Since I can’t view Rina’s pic (again) on the show’s website, let’s just satisfy ourselves judging the remaining six photos.

Here is my BANGIS AWARD:

Razon’s Halo-halo

April 27, 2007

Once again, we went to my mom’s favorite panciteria/restaurant at Razon’s, which came from the hometown of Guagua, Pampanga. Mom just can’t resist on eating their best selling pancit luglog and Halo-halo everytime we go there. It’s hard to explain what’s inside their pancit luglog, so I will just be featuring their Halo-halo.

Razon’s Halo-halo is different since it only contains the following: Read more

Warning to wordpress users!!!

April 27, 2007

I tried upgrading my blog site from WP 2.1.2 to 2.13 and caused me a  lot of problems. Most of the times my site is unaccessible.
Here are some of the problems I have encountered:

-broken links for comments,category,post,admin area, theme editor etc
-themes missing under presentation/theme section
-themes are listed but no theme selected
-and a few others I don’t remember me.. excuse moi.. I am sick.. literally

Luckily, I made a back up.

So, if you are planning to click the upgrade link in fantastico or to do a manual upgrade, make sure to back up your database and the worpdress folder (where you have installed WP).  I don’t know yet what caused it. Maybe database incompatibility with the new verssion. I really don’t know,  I didn’t even bother to check for bugs/issues of the new version. So I’ll stick with 2.1.2 for the meantime.
Wonder what I did to fix this? I took a nap. Yes, I did!. Thanks to BOO, dyu, who went home after his lunch break to restore my old WP.

mwuahugs,
B

A really neat little project called “Wordpress Theme Generator” has been created that allows people with no coding knowledge to create their own semi-custom theme. It allows you to see the changes ‘live’ and upload your own header images, which is cool, right :).

Will you quit your dream job because you hate your boss?

April 27, 2007

A number of articles have been written (and published) tackling the subject of dealing with an overly demanding boss, or an overly difficult boss. And ALL these articles provide suggestions, and tips to help you deal with these people. Let me rephrase - all these articles provide suggestions, and tips to help you deal with difficult people (and not just your boss). I have read several of them. I even took to heart some of these author’s recommendations.

You see, in our workplace, you really cant choose who you work with. You can choose not to work with them however - meaning you can either resign, or request for a transfer. I have had a number of staff come to me with diatribes about their supervisors or their co-workers. They often express desires to resign because of the effect these people have on them and their performance at work.
