Music Break: “Stormy Night” by Pedicab
Pedicab is Raimund Marasigan’s “other” band (aside from Sandwich), but this group is anything other than “others.”
The band classifies their music as “dance-punk,” and their use of vintage analog synthesizers creates an 80’s synth-pop feel into their tracks. Having a music video director (RA Rivera) as part of the band, Pedicab’s live performances are always a sight to behold. One of their on-stage antics includes wearing MMDA Traffic Enforcer uniforms.
The song “Stormy Night” is from their debut album “Tugish Takish” released back in 2005, and it sounds as refreshing as it is first played on the radio.
Random Hot Men: Leighton Stultz
Isn’t it weird that I haven’t featured an American model in Random Hot Men? Not until now!
Commercial Break: Firefly Lighting Gives You the Eagle-Eye
This has got to be one of the country’s wittiest advertisements yet.
A commercial for Firefly Lighting features its benefit in a exaggerated yet funny manner as the Doña summons her maid for something she finds on the carpet.

Got this funny video of MadTV mocking NBC’s “Heroesâ€.

Guilt-Tripping and Haggling: The Art of Getting a Broadband
I have once cried out of frustration because I knew I could never pay for broadband by myself. A thousand bucks a month? Holy cow! I don’t have that amount of money. I get a little over P2,500 every month for my allowance. I’d just stick to my unlimited dial-up plan for P560 a month (which, by the way, he’s not even aware of). That’s my limit. That’s only what I can afford. And that’s reality for me: I only get what I can afford and nothing more.
Sometimes I’d tell my mom, with a voice loud enough for my dad to hear, Lucky them, the people I know, their parents pay for their internet.
Not that I want a reward for everything I do, but my parents have never given me anything in exchange for a high grade, an honor, a medal, a trophy, and other what-have-yous. Well, except one time years ago when I was dared to ride the Space Shuttle for a thousand bucks. And I didn’t even get it anyway. I used guilt-tripping even when I was in high school, but it never worked. Angie was Top 10 in class, and she gets P500. I was ranked 2nd, and I get nothing. Can’t we just go eat out to celebrate or something?
No.
But I got used to it so I just let it go.

4 Beautiful Shining Shimmering Stars
53. Manila’s Finest Women (So they say).
It was May 20 when my ( boyfriend called me.. )
54. My salary can’t be raised because I’m contracted for a specific salary.
In the evening of May 22, after a nap ( with my girlfriend )
island camp…
im back! oh yes, the island getaway was so much fun and as promised, i am posting a few pics (as if this is considered few) and would be telling you all about the trip. first off, i have to state that my schedule to Donsol, with the whale sharks, the next day was cancelled. so sadly, im forced to put off my meeting with the big thing. *sarcastic smile* and instead, spend the rest of my day exploring the beach (which is a fishing village actually) along Behia, Magallanes.we had to wait for the national christian youth fellowship (cyf) president first for we were tasked to meet up with her and be her guide, accompany her on the way to the camp site (that’s because my friend ‘the president of the south bicol cyf’ was under the impression that we knew exactly how to get there, yeah keep dreaming, well i guess we did, a bit). this was the cause of our departure’s delay.
remember too that, that day, i had no sleep yet because i came out from work, went home to get my things, and went straight to the meeting place. having to wait for more than three hours out on the city with no bed whatsoever is tedious and totally exhausting. not to mention money wasting due to the only resort of entertainment we could focus on at that point was EATING. realizing the travel time that we had to endure later on, the exhaustion was multiplied to the nth power even before the journey.
On Filipino Gay Rights and Extra Men Rights
Unleash your inner gay.
Not that I’m asking you to be a gay but if you are one or planning to be one, now would be a good one to wave a rainbow flag in front of your door. Why? Because the third kind is under fire from Congressman Benny (a guy’s gay name for Ben) Abante.
Apparently the re-elected homophobic solon from Manila swore that he would “always block” the proposed gay rights bill saying that this was a preparation for legalizing gay marriage. He even goes on to say that the bill was like giving additional rights to prostitutes (as if the one bang, one round wasn’t enough!). Amen to that brother (he’s also a pastor of a christian movement here in the country)!
Masigasig, Go Negosyo on TV
For people trying to start their own businesses, I suggest you set an alarm in your cellphones to sound at 6:30 pm of every Saturday to remind you of Masigasig, a television show on entrepreneurship at QTV Channel 11. The show, sponsored by Globe, provides advice from leading business experts, money-make overs, and the latest on Globe products and services. Not sure, but I think the show is sometimes hosted by Arnel Ignacio, sometimes by Jolina Magdangal, both entrepreneurs themselves. Read the full post at Pinoy Seminars.
