Do We Really Have To Make Patol?
Yes, my Kumares! I’ve seen the much-talked-about clip of Desperate Housewives’ latest season opener. Before I wrote about my reaction to this, I took a deep breath, a cold shower, and a little dose of daydreaming.
Now I’m done.
It was indeed a sweeping comment, but considering that a lot of characters in a lot of American TV series and movies have this certain “anything un-American is barbaric mentality,” I wasn’t really surprised.

The Most Festive Day in the Philippines!
It’s the Bar Exams in the Philippines and everybody is in the festive mood! It’s everywhere, in the news, word on the street, even among barbers and street sweepers! Here is what happened to one examinee from Bulacan as he proceeds to the testing center.
What? No Asian Idol?
According to a moderator over at the Indonesian Idol forums, the prospect of an Asian Idol competition is now slim to none.
Apparently, the participating countries (namely India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam) did not agree with the proposed voting system by host country Indonesia. The tallying of votes would not be in a Eurovision-styled ranking-based system that we saw in World Idol, but rather only Indonesian residents are allowed to cast their votes for Asian Idol.
That would have been downright silly, devah? I mean, it’s like giving Indonesia a free hand in making their Indonesian Idol (who would have been represented by their latest winner Rini Wulandari) the eventual winner. Are the organizers afraid that their bet would eventually lose to our very own Mau Marcelo had the voting been participated by all 7 countries? Are they afraid that the eventual winner would not “look like” an Asian stereotype (Mau being half African-Puerto Rican)?
I still hope that Asian Idol would still be held, even if it would be just some “get together” concert with no competition involved.

You Can’t Make Maruja Go to the Gym
May mga nagtatanong sa akets: Maruja, kung gusto mong pumayat, vahket wiz mo try ang gym?
Ang sagot kets: Naku, ayoko sa gym, noh?!
For some reason, may phobia/ alinlangan akets sa mga gym-gym na ‘yan. Minsan na aksi akets nagpunta sa isang local gym. Dahil bago akets, pina-try sa akin ng nag-iisang instructor ang kung anek-anek: threadmill, mga weights, nag-TimeWorks pa akets. All the while masyado siyang bisi-busyhan sa pag-instruct sa mga gerlets na clients at magpasikatan ng biceps sa mga barkada.
Kalagitnaan ng session, nagpunas akets ng pawis sa pisngi at ang koda pa naman ng instructor: “Pawis ba ‘yan o luha?”
