What if may Facebook na nung panahon ni Jose Rizal?
by admin on August 10th, 2009
Again… matutulog na dapat ako when I decided to amuse myself by going over some funny blogs. I wasn’t disappointed… I encountered our National Hero, Jose Rizal on FB (click on the image for a larger view):
It was so funny I immediately searched for this account in Facebook… but was disappointed. There ARE Jose Rizal accounts in FB like this and this. But I guess the image I encountered was just too good to be true – people pretending to be our national heroes and having actual conversations in FB. Hehehe. Oh well, at least I had a good laugh with this one.

Jessica Soho mistaken for a whale?!
by admin on August 8th, 2009
While going through my mails, I unexpectedly saw this message subject: Scuba-diving Jessica Soho mistaken for beached whale. “This cannot be true!” I thought as I clicked on the view message:
Award-winning broadcaster Jessica Soho caused a commotion in the waters off Pilar town in Bataan when the townspeople mistook her for a beached whale, according to reports reaching Good Times Manila.
Soho was reportedly taping a special summer episode of her show “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho,” in which she was supposed to showcase rare corals and marine life in the area when the incident occurred Friday afternoon.
Garbed in scuba-diving gear, Soho was cast adrift a few hundred meters from their boat and was floating near the shore when some fishermen spotted her, locals said.
The fishermen quickly alerted the town’s environment office about what they thought was a beached whale, possibly a humpback, one of the biggest whale species frequently spotted in Philippine waters.
“Last February, there were some dolphins and whales that were beached in the same area, so when we saw her (Soho), we immediately assumed the worst,” one of the fishermen told GTM.
Dozens of environmentalists, local media, tourists and residents rushed to the area to take a look at the “beached whale” in hopes of guiding it back into deeper water.
But when they got near, they were shocked to see Soho, who had no idea what the hullabaloo was all about.
“It was an honest mistake and we have apologized to Ma’am Jessica. We did not mean to disturb her work at all,” Raul De Jesus, the local environment office chief, said.
In a statement issued to GTM, Soho said she has accepted the apology, saying it was “understandable,” and that the commotion did not impede their taping of her show.
“There was no harm done, and no offense was intended or taken. This experience has not made me lose my love of scuba-diving and I will continue to enjoy the wonders of nature underwater,” she said.
But to make sure that the mistake would not be repeated, Soho said she would ask for a custom-made scuba diving suit with vertical white stripes for a slimming effect.
I guess it was an honest mistake. I like the way Jessica handled the commotion – very professional.
Corazon “Cory” Aquino – now on 500 peso bill with Ninoy
by admin on August 5th, 2009
I came home from work yesterday and saw my sister laughing hard while staring on her laptop. Curious, I looked at her monitor and saw this image in facebook:
…with a comment:
Uy! May space pa para kay Kris Aquino!
I did some research to find who created that artwork and ended up on the Peace Love and Revolution website. It turns out that Rev Naval made this artwork as a personal tribute to the mother of our nation – the former president of the Republic of the Philippines and the woman behind the peaceful People Power EDSA Revolution in 1986 – CORAZON “CORY” AQUINO (January 25, 1933 – August 1, 2009).
Great artwork, Rev!
Ang Gin, Nasa Sachet Na!
by admin on July 17th, 2009
Siguradong matutuwa ang mga manginginom sa natuklasan ko mula kay Faith Salazar:
Well, if you’re craving for alcohol but you only have six pesos to spare, worry no more! Just like coffee, gin now comes in sachets – thanks to San Miguel.
One sachet can fill up one shot glass – so if you want to perfectly measure the amount of alcohol in your drink, buy these cute gin sachets.
Panalo diba?! ^_^ Tagay na! 0;)
National day of celebration for Pacquiao
- May 8, 2009 – declared a holiday
by admin on May 6th, 2009
After Pacman destroyed Hatton in just two rounds last May 2, 2009, the Philippines became more ecstatic when they found out last May 5 that:
Pacquiao said he got a call from President Arroyo after the fight, and was told that Friday, the day he arrives in Manila, has been declared a non-working holiday. philstar.com
A few hours after, the entire nation (the working populace in general) was disappointed to learn from a breaking news that Friday, May 8, 2009 was declared as a working holiday:
Oh well… so much for having another three-day weekend…
Cheesy at Mushy daw si Bob Ong
by admin on April 25th, 2009
Isang hopeless-romantic na nilalang na humingi ng payo kay Bob Ong:
Dear Mr. Bob Ong,
Matagal ko na pong nililigawan itong ramp model na stage actress na nakilala ko recently sa isang party. Nasisiraan na ako ng bait. Pag nakilala mo siya, tiyak matutunaw ang utak mo sa kakaisip sa kanya.
Hingi lang po ako ng advice. Paano ko po siya mapapaibig? Bibigyan ko ba siya ng tula ? Haharanahin ko ba siya? Roses? Kalachuchi? Chocnut at sampaguita?
In lab na po ako. Ano po ang gagawin ko? Is she the one.
Lubos na gumagalang,
- Bartolome –
— ANG REPLY ––
Dear Bartolome,
Hindi ka talaga sasagutin niyang nililigawan mo. Napaka-old school kasi ng mga tactics mo. Wala nang gumagawa ng ganyan. Sa panahon ngayon, lahat ng bagay, nagtaas na. Nagtaas na ang gasolina, nagtaas na ang presyo ng bigas at mga bilihin, nagtaas na ang pamasahe, at lalong nagtaas na rin ng standards ang mga babae. Hindi na uubra yang siopao at kalachuci mo. Lalo na yung huli mong binigay, hopia at santan. Ano ba pare? Ano’ng era ka ba pinanganak?
Pero don’t worry. It’s not too late. May pag-asa ka pa. Hindi pa naman siya kinakasal at di pa niya sinasagot yung crush niya na basketball player. Kahit lamang siya ng sampung paligo sa’yo, daanin mo sa utak at creativity. Dahil aminin na natin, iyon na lang talaga ang pag-asa mo. Heto, bibigyan kita ng mga simple, tried and tested na mga regalo para di siya mapurga sa hopia at siomai. Sundin mo ‘to, tiyak na lalaglag ang bagang niya sa’yo. Mga medyo more than your usual regalong panligaw:
1. Bili ka ng century tuna. Ilagay mo sa isang napakalaking box—yung sinlaki ng TV o kaya box ng desktop PC mo. Tapos balutan mo ng magarang pambalot. Kuntsabahin mo na yung teacher niya sa Calculus. Sa gitna ng klase, bigla kang kumatok sa classroom. Pero dapat, incognito ka. Magsuot ka ng LBC jacket, magshades, at magsuot ng surgical mask. Pagpasok mo sa classroom, iabot mo yung box sa teacher, at papirmahin mo ng acknowledgement receipt. Tapos pabuksan mo in front of everyone. Tignan mong mabuti ang reaction sa mukha niya.
Later during the day, pag tinanong niya kung bakit Century Tuna ang binigay mo, iikot mo yung lata at ituro mo yung sign na “Omega 8.” Pag tinanong niya kung ano yung Omega 8, sabihin mo: “because you’re good for my heart.”
2. Mangolekta ka ng isang dosenang hanger na libre mong nakukuha tuwing nagpapa-dry clean ka. Tapos, sa bawat hanger, isulat mo: “I miss hanging out with you.”
3. Instead of roses, kuha ka ng tissue paper sa banyo ng school mo. Gawin mong tissue paper roses. Gawa ka ng isang dosena. Pag-abot mo, sabihin mo, “Ganito kalinis ang pag-ibig ko sa’yo.”
4. Bili ka ng tetra pack ng mantikang Minola. Tapos bilugan mo yung “with Omega 8.” Hindi na siya magtatanong kung bakit.
5. Bigyan mo ng ice cream cone. Dapat cone lang at walang ice cream. Pag hinanap niya yung ice cream, sabihin mo, “natunaw na kakatitig sa’yo.”
6. Bili ka ng sandosenang box ng crayola. Kolektahin mo lahat ng black. Lagay mo sa isang box ng crayola. Sa likod, isulat mo: “Walang kulay ang buhay kung wala ka.”
7. Bigyan mo siya ng mumurahing bumbilya. Alam mo na siguro by this time kung ano ang isasagot pag tinanong niya kung bakit. (para sa mga hindi maka-“gets”, kapag tinanong ka, ang sagot mo ay, “sapagkat, ikaw lamang ang tanging ilaw at liwanag sa buhay ko”, o kaya naman ay, “you light up my life”…
8. I-text mo siya ng: “Hindi tayo tao, hindi tayo hayop, hindi tayo halaman. Bagay tayo. Bagay!”
9. Bigyan mo siya ng calling card ng MMDA. Sa likod, isulat mo “para pag nagkabanggaan ang puso natin.”
10. Padalhan mo ng Happy Meal pero huwag mong ibibigay yung libreng laruan. Paghinanap niya, sabihin mo: “Ako yung freebie, at ikaw yung meal na nagpapahappy sa’kin.”
11. Sunugin ang kanyang bahay at padalhan ng hallmark card: “aanhin mo pa ang bahay mo, kung matagal ka nang nakatira sa puso ko”
12. Pagatapos sunugin ang kanyang bahay, padalhan siya ng isang box ng posporo, Guitar brand. unahan ang kanyang galit at sabihin, “ayan ang posporo na ginamit ko sa pagsunog ng iyong bahay, match na tayo”
13. Sa kalagitnaan ng isang malupit na bagyo, pasalubungan sya ng “salbabida”, wag payong, o mainit na mami. Pag nagtanong bakit? ang isagot mo ay ” ayaw kong malunod ka sa pag mamahal ko.”
14. Pag pumayag na siyang makipagdate, dalhin mo siya sa canteen at huwag bibitawan ang kamay. Pag tinanong niya kung bakit, ituro mo yun sign na “don’t leave your valuables unattended”
Handang tumulong lagi,
-Bob Ong-
