Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez on TAR Asia 2
“No Amazing Race show can be without its hunk factor and that is where Marc and Rovilson from the Philippines come in. This is one team with the two flamboyant individuals, who dish out a mixture of comedy and ego with a ton of sass. Both TV hosts by day, Rovilson also works as a magazine editor while Marc is a model, whose face, and rather well toned body, has graced the cover of many magazines.”
This is the introductory statement on Marc’s and Rovilson’s profile on The Amazing Race Asia 2 website, save for the flamboyance. And we here at BAMR definitely agree that this team is indeed the hunk factor in this race. We’re hoping though that this second season of Asia’s franchise of The Amazing Race (which we are a big fan of) will not disappoint us like they did with their first season. The first season just sucked.
Erap Pardon Hangover
I’ve pretty much expressed my opinion on the granting of executive clemency in Estrada pardon to set precedent for Arroyo, gathered the opinion and analysis from my favorite blogs to examine its implications in Do not expect too much of the end of the (Arroyo) regime, and reposted some fitting jokes in Post-Edsa 2 (and post pardon) Erap jokes.
But I still can’t get over the whole issue. So here are two more pieces on the pardon of the disgraced former President, now “plain citizen,” Joseph Estrada.
Hair-Raising: A Halloween Special
Because it is Halloween and dear Lifecruiser is doing this train of scary stories in which I am jumping in for the thrilling ride. I have tons of frightening stories and experiences in my pocket to keep you guys wet on your panties! I think I got this sixth sense because ever since I was young, I always have these spooky experiences that I cannot explain quite clearly. Here is one of them:
I was 10 years old and living in my grandma’s home that time. It is kindof a huge house with 7 bedrooms in total. Anyway enough about the specifics and let’s go forward to the main story here. (Pictures are taken by my mobile phone so sorry if the quality is not that good.)

I woke up yesterday and My site was at PR3 o.O and I thought Google gave everyone a rank drop.
Mulitple Logins for Yahoo Messenger
One of the major limitations I’ve found with Yahoo Messenger and Windows Live Messenger is that they allow just single logins. While this provides a bit of security, there are times when you need to login more than one account.Read the rest of this entry »
Everything you need to play Crysis (not Farcry 2)
If you’re still living under a digital rock and haven’t seen what’s hot in the gaming world, Crysis is an upcoming science fiction First Person Shooter, that is being developed by Crytek. The story is as follows:
Set in 2019, Crysis’ plot follows Jake Dunn, a United States Delta Force operative, whose codename is “Nomad”. As Crysis begins, an American team of archaeologists is taken captive by the North Korean Army, just as they were making an important discovery in the South China Sea. The United States responds by deploying a team of Delta Force operatives, supported by the USS Ashcroft. Jake Dunn, one of the Delta Force operatives sent by the American government, takes part in the fighting between the United States, and the then superpower North Korea. Soon, though, it becomes apparent that the presumed asteroid on the island is actually an alien vessel.
Oh No, Not the Cemetery Again!
Now, I am dragged to visit graves. We have to commute from our house here in the northern part of the metro, all the way to the south. I get to spend the whole day listening to mindless chatter (but mostly spacing out), being in a huge crowd (which I hate), and being forced to go to gross comfort rooms with almost non-existent water supply (I’m looking at you, Manila Memorial).
All those crap just to see a rectangular piece of soil.
Pinilakang Tabing – Another Fearless Attempt on Filmmaking
I bruised my heel after this pictorial. Now, I’m walking like a prick for a month already.
It’s a big dilemma in our part when we are tasked to make a film in school, knowing that us Journalism majors are not provided with enough facilities and equipment to utilize in the field of moviemaking. Talk about journ majors producing a feature film instead of a docu or news vids 
The first time we did a short flick was two years ago, when our annoying Intro to Film instructor ordered all second year Journ studes (that’s 25 of us) to compete with the junior Journ studes in a Film fest. For our instructor’s convenience, she assigned her Film Criticism class to, well, criticize our works, do the verdict, and declare the winner, which obviously was not anyone in the fest for the record while our instructor got home with our money supposedly for the fest proper. (Our plans of getting a refund didn’t even start).
Our first film, Istiryotayp, was all about the, as the name implies, stereotypical struggles of a Romeo and Juliet based couple. You know, langit siya lupa ako conflict. And because of our director’s insistence, a ‘brokeback’ couple was added to give the movie a little bit of, as the title implies, stereotypical third party twist (the struggling homosexual third party becomes blander and blander nowadays). I portrayed as the stereotypical father who owns everything but loved by none, and then handled everything on the post-production. At that time we were so lucky to have an uber wealthy classmate who, not only that he has a son the same age as ours to mingle with, but allowed us to use his very stylish house that was used in “Maging Sino Ka Man” series. It was so damn beautiful, we nearly had our clothes packed up for the mass migration. Too bad, they’re selling the house for P17M in order to build a bigger, more stylish crib in Amadeo, Cavite.

May I beg Your Pardon?
That’s something I learned in grade one. Ms. Valdez, my homeroom adviser and English teacher who I felt did not particularly like me, taught us that polite way of asking someone to repeat what s/he just said.
According to her, it’s more courteous than blurting out, “What?”

Last week, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo granted executive clemency to Former President Joseph Ejercito Estrada thereby restoring the convicted ex-president’s civil and political rights.
Wow, how compassionate of our president!
An absolute pardon.
Excuse me but I really have to say this, “What?!?”
* * *
Here’s the deal. We are raised in such a way that we are most likely inclined to do the right things. And so we get punished for every blunder we commit. Somehow we realize where we went wrong and how that harmed or could have harmed us or others. And if we keep an open mind, we learn our lesson and do better next time.
Erap, he screwed up. He screwed not himself, not his family, but the whole Filipino people. He did that at the ripe old age of 63. (Well at least that’s when he got caught.)
He was detained for 6 ½ years, not on some cold and cramped prison cell, but on a rather comfy camp. And I bet his food still tasted great. I don’t think that at that long a time, he was ever deprived of an aid—someone who’d clean his stuff, including his pants and underpants.
The whole time, Erap never pleaded guilty to plunder nor perjury. He never diplayed any sign of remorse for doing the country ill. And he keeps on wearing that dang wristband with the presidential logo.
Something tells me nobody learned anything.
If I had things my way, I’d say two people are in badly need of spanking: the one who got away without learning anything, and the one who’s trying to sneak out as if we wouldn’t notice what she’s doing.
Etymology of the word ‘Nightmare’
