There is no doubt that a lot of people want to enhance their breast size. It’s becoming more and more popular to get a bigger bust with out having to have surgery. There are women that still go for that surgical option, but they will often have fears of the side effects as well as what may happen after the surgery has been completed.
But, on the other side of the coin, people think that when it comes to a natural way to enhance your breasts, there is a fear that it’s a big waste of time for them. Women don’t want to put any kind of odd substance in their body just for a little help with their breasts.

Amid the crisis, however, the CSC Forest represents bounty. Today, squirrels can be sighted in the forest including snakes and other wild animals. It represents an ideal environment beyond the four corners of a government edifice. It represents an environment of what our country should be.
We lost track of the trees we planted at the Department of Agriculture and NIA. It reminds us of the past, however, whenever we see flowers of rain trees blooms as rainy season approaches while we walk along the alley of the Office for Legal Affairs. We can only hope, however, that those trees are now as tall, as big and cared dearly, where squirrels can hide, live and play in peace, like in the Civil Service Commission’s Centennial Forest, presently under Acting Chair Cesar Buenaflor.
The CSC Forest . . .

If I had my way, I’d be in t-shirts, shorts, and sneakers the entire summer season. “WTF, but we’ve never seen you in shorts EVAR!” Exactly! Come on gais, give the corporate rockstar slash almost-model a break! I don’t have much of a choice since I’m practically coerced by my day job to be in corporate drab on weekdays and man, those things can be annoyingly uncomfortable even when it’s raining out. Good news is, owing to the Intertropical Convergence Zone, we’re in for a shorter summer season this year as heard from the radio this morning (says PAGASA). Whether that’s a good or bad thing, blame it all on the ITCZ. Heck, we can even blame ITCZ for the hike in power prices since no one has balls big enough to own the boo boo!
On the subject of t-shirts (thank Jockey for supposedly inventing the tee in its current form way back in 1913 per the infallible wikipedia), I had for the longest time been wanting to get myself some David & Goliath goodies. A few months back, I was walking inside the Power Plant Mall and a statement shirt on David & Goliath’s show window caught my attention. It read “Trust Me! i’m a liar.” I went in, felt the shirt fabric, looked at the price, made a mental note to go back soon, and left. Good thing I didn’t buy the “Liar” shirt because, about a month later, I saw Juned wearing it and I’m not so keen on wanting to look like twins with anyone just yet. Sry, Juned-san.

The difference between the poor countries and the rich ones is not the age of the country:
This can be shown by countries like India & Egypt , that are more than 2000 years old, but are poor. Read more HERE
By 6 A.M., we started preparing ourselves to go to Boracay. I took a bath then went to the dining to have my breakfast—rice and fried egg. I noticed that they didn’t even take a bath. We were cramming since they were waiting for us. At the last minute, I even changed my top shirt since I looked like a wrapped “suman.”
It was a long ride to Caticlan. I think we made it to Caticlan around by 9 A.M. It was a fun ride though since they were talking gossips about their neighbors. What’s fascinating with the people here is the mentality of aristocracy. You can see big and nice houses even they were just vendors of “dilis” (small fish) and hog butcher while the richer people are living modest with their simple and small houses. Anyway, during the trip, my tummy ached and it felt like I need to go the comfort room. When we arrived in Caticlan, we bought our tickets for the boat ride. Since I’m with the locals, we bought our tickets for only 20 pesos. Tickets for non-locals are 50 pesos by the way. Better leave the talking to the locals or you will pay 50 pesos.

Monday–I arrived in Paranaque City yesterday at around 11 A.M. I was worried that I won’t make it on time since heavy traffic builded up in Pasig City. Anyway, I thought our flight was 2 P.M. when it was actually 3 P.M. So there’s no reason to rush at all. My first airplane experience started on a bad light. I will not just explain why. On our way to the NAIA Centennial terminal, we were surprised that a beggar approached our car and asked for $5 dollars. Would you believe that? Maybe he thought we just arrived from the States and we’re “balikbayans.” It might have something to do with our luggages and big “balikbayan” box. We even thought that he was under the influence of illegal substance. What’s funnier with this beggar was when he realized that we weren’t “balikbayans”, he literally asked for loose change. He even pitched that he will buy NFA rice.

I’ve always had the heart of a kaladkarin (from the same Tagalog verb which means “to drag; to haul along”). I’ve never made a secret of the joy I get from going to new places and just drinking everything in, no matter the destination. Whether it’s a trip to the glitzy and cosmopolitan or the rustic and back-to-basics, if I’m free, I’m in.
Summers have always triggered a serious attack of itchy feet; this, the longest summer I’ve ever had since I started kindergarten, is no exception. But now that I’ve indulged my inner lakwatsera (n. “wanderer”), she simply doesn’t want to stop.
So does anyone know where I can take my itchy feet next?

Tuloy na tuloy na!! Yes, the 2008 World Pyro Olympics will start this Saturday, May 3rd and there’s no stopping this grand pyrotechnics event in the Philippines (NOT even strong winds and heavy rain - we were there during the 1st WPO, twice it rained hard, but the show went on!)
Go visit my blog now to see the final schedule, the final list of participants, and the posters and announcements plastered all-over SM Mall of Asia, the world’s 3rd Largest Mall.

After the very much awaited wedding of Diana Princess of Whales and His Royal Highness Prince Charles, they went over to cruise for their honeymoon.
The honeymoon aboard the Britannia was horrible as Prince Charles told a friend, “That first night was special. It was special enough, of course. But she really was painfully naive.” This shows that P. Charles was not really that attached to his mother because he wants a woman to be caring, nurturing, not to mention experienced. That is all filled by Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall (Camilla Parker Bowles).
Back to the cruise. Both were very different, Diana would be sociable, chattering with the cooks and the other personnel. While, Charles would would just sit like a hermit and read Laurens Van der Post’s books. This also shows that their age gap was not 12, but was 40.
At these times, the Prince cannot function well without a phone call to Camilla.

Filipino celebrities joined the international campaign against foie gras (say FWAH-GRAH) by taking the ‘No Foie Gras’ Pledge organized by PETA Asia-Pacific. The Pledge states that they will never buy or eat foie gras because they ‘believe that force-feeding ducks and geese with long metal tubes is extremely cruel.’ The signatories of the pledge include model Isabel Roces, Senator Bong Revilla, and veteran actor Eddie Gutierrez. Let’s follow their lead and do an online pledge against foie gras here…
Our quote today comes from Ludwig Büchner, born today in 1824. He was one of the philosophers who popularized materialism and based his worldview on the facts and discoveries established by the philosophers of the natural world (science). in 1881 he founded the “Deutsche Freidenkerbund”(German Freethinkers League) which served as the first atheist group in…
Happy Labor Day to everyone! Here’s a little story about an entreprenuer who hates the internal revenue service…
No less than the President of the Philippines, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, brands domestic helpers from the Philippines as supermaids, a term, they, indeed, so richly deserve. These domestic helpers have, for years, endured the loneliness and pain of being far away from home in order to be able to give their families a better life. Because of this, they have been well appreciated and admired by people all over the world. CONTINUE

VOX POPULI SUCKSCarly Smithson is out?! I really loved her thing with the Jesus Christ Superstar. Who could’ve known that Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote that.
Anywhoo, I could never believed that Jason and Brooke was on the safe spot because everyone knows that they made super-obvious blunders. But then again, Simon made a good point: Fanbases, Charm, and “Being-Human” thing really pays off.
Dammit. Why does talent have to be the last thing?!

Jean, my fellow wanderlust-wanna-be, and I first heard about Caramoan last August. Described in glowing terms as an “untouched paradise” by someone who had never seen it himself, the hype whetted our curiosity - and we’ve been planning to take a trip there ever since. After discovering beauty of Bicolandia during our weather-cursed trip last February, we’ve been even more eager to realize its promise.
With a resident’s schedule, easier said than done. (This is no longer really my problem, but with my travel buddies all tied to the hospital, I don’t have much of a choice.) But sure enough when there’s a will there’s a way, and last weekend we finally managed to get away.
The Caramoan Peninsula is found in the Bicol province of Camarines Sur. It is three and a half hours away from Naga City - itself already an eight to ten hour drive from Manila. Caramoan town proper is an hour and a half by land to Sabang Port then two hours by boat to Guijalo Port. That’s a total of twelve hours travel for people who can barely get a weekend away.

It’s a very common ans all known fact that the media, as far as I know, from the 1990’s has been prompting the ‘Barbie Image.’ Fun, preppy, white, straight haired, and blonde… That is why I hate Barbie as gifts to my girlfriends.
As far as I’ve seen, if ever that there will be a Barbie in real life. There won’t be enough space for some of the digestive organs, such as the liver.
But as of now: Barbie has a wider waist, comes in different colours, and has given out massages of love and peace throughout the world with Barbie’s movies…
The same also went for Ken. But honestly, you have to admit that the original Ken and Barbie was sooo cute! Or was that just my professed love for vintage…

(This is a write-up from my guest blogger, Eygee who currently lives in the Philippines. I live in Canada now and have trained myself not to eat rice everyday lol! 
It’s hard to believe that there is a shortage of rice in the Philippines. It’s sad. - Ate G.)
Before anyone reacts, yes ,you read it right it’s not a typo..my topic is about rice…all about rice….the most important food product… a major staple food in the Philippines…a part in every Filipino’s grocery list….”the Rice”.
By this time, it’s already in the news, the soaring rice price hits the Philippines…the shortage of rice supply…the hoarding of supply…the long lines for rice subsidy….the announcement from the government that Filipinos should now eat and cook only half of the rice that they’re used to eat…people panicking for their supply of their beloved rice…but how can that be?

During my first few months in Canada, that was in April 2004, I noticed that when saying goodbye (i.e., after a days’ work) a Canadian would say “enjoy the sunshine!” My answer would be, “oh we get a lot of sunshine in the Philippines and it’s too hot there so I really don’t mind the hovering clouds.” Later on I realized that Vancouver and the surrounding areas get so gloomy. And it is such a welcome treat for them to see the sun out. What I am trying to say is that in the Philippines, most Filipinas would run to be under the shade ‘coz they don’t want to get dark skin, right? Filipinas want their skin to be lighter. Hence, the multimillion peso skin bleaching business i.e., hydroquinone, bleaching soap, skin whiteners….glutathion. Tongue out But here in Canada, you would see Canadians eating lunch under the sun. They want their tan. You won’t see skin lighteners in the supermarket. You will see tanning lotions. And of course, tanning salons.

One of my observations when I started working as a pharmacist here in Canada is the fact that parents are very open about teenage sex. During my first few months in the pharmacy, I noticed that the Moms would personally come to pick-up their daughter’s contraceptive pills (birth control pills). The popular brandnames for contraceptives are Diane 35, Alesse, Tri-Cyclen, MinOvral, Triphasil, to name a few. Anyway, most of these pills may be used also for acne control. But I tell you, the Moms would pick up those contraceptive pills to make sure that their teenage girls don’t get pregnant. Let’s face it, a teenager will do what a teenager wants to do. I’ve been there. 
please go to www.i-filipino.com for the complete write-up.
So, okay…in short, I left Philippines because I just wanted a change of phase. I was tired of the rat race. Canada seemed like a good place to start over. Yup! I left my managerial job in Canada to be a student again in Canada…didn’t mind taking the bus again. Hey, I had to sell my car so I would have enough money to go to Canada…pay the agency, etc. I had to stay up late nights again to study in preparation for my licensure exam. I had to eat chicken wings and Spam because the place that I was staying in Vancouver only allowed a microwave in the room.
I still didn’t answer the question “what is it about Canada,” right? I’ll answer that on Part 3. Well, did you have a similar experience? Let me know. Please feel free to leave your comments.
For the meantime let me give you a peek of Vancouver and Victoria and Tofino in British Columbia, a video posted by SenhordoBonfim in Youtube. Enjoy!
