Month: December 2007

  • Manila Day 1: Funky Santa

    I’m in Manila (again). City of terrible taxi, where people call you “seeeerrr” or “maaaam”, where you take jeepney and wonder whose change is it on your hand. Haha.

    Went to Eastwood City with Ike last night, the place is good, the crowd’s great. Took a picture with funky santa, and also had dinner at Big Kahuna (kinda overprice!), but enjoy the ambience.

    Hohoho, he said!

  • Ring or Saving, or… ring?

    “….Monkeys are just as good as spending money as they are at making it. They can’t really save it because it burns a hole in their pockets. Occasionally though, Monkeys should put a little away today for an emergency tomorrow…”

    I’ve just read my astrology stuff (http://apps.facebook.com/chinesezodiac/index7.php), and haha so damn correct. How do they know about this?

    I earn several times than higher than my first paycheck, but always, the balance at the end of the month is the same!!! Very very balanced! Zero!

    Do try to save money this year, and quite happy with the result. Bend what the chinese astrology tells! **i remember my father once told me (years ago), that i will spend my money as much as i earn and he told me to put a ring on one of my fingers (he did mentioned which finger, but i forget).

    Hmmm… probably after my wedding, i will be able to save more (read: you wear a ring after your marriage, right?.
    But, then come to mind, how to save money for the wedding if I don’t wear a ring? See, a cycle!, which you dont know which is first!

  • Ladies Night?


    I am browsing askmen.com (i visit this website a lot lately). It’s an online male magazine. Today, there’s an article “Ladies Night: Sexist?“. A (funny) guy sued a club in NY because that club providing free drinks to ladies on Ladies Night, he thought it was a discrimination!! :)) Funny, isn’t he? Read the article below.

    Roy Den Hollander, a New York City man, is suing the popular nightclubs Lotus, AER Lounge and China Club for their participation in the practice of ladies’ night. These clubs routinely offer free drinks and/or admittance to members of the fairer sex (hence the name, “ladies’ night”) and Den Hollander claims that this discriminates against men.

    Den Hollander’s lawyer states that ladies’ night violates the Constitution and he is seeking minor damages. While lawyers on the other side claim that if Roy wins his case, then other specials will need to be abolished, such as the “early bird special” that only seniors can take advantage of and “children eat for free” that only kids under 5 can have.

    What Den Hollander and his lawyer don’t realize is that ladies’ night isn’t about women, it’s about men. See, ladies’ night does attract women with its free booze, which is a service to men looking for more fish in the sea.

  • After Some Works

    Tonight, i am so tired. Been looking thru pages of powerpoints, sheets of MS Excel, using calculator, thinking about presentation. It’s not a big deal, but maybe this is something you can do to pay your company back, pay yourself back. AND TRALALA! I finish my works!

    I am so damn ready for tomorrow. And, you sometimes need to reward yourself. I pay myself simply a glass of Baileys with rocks!

  • Balut! Balut!

    I’ve just read “The 6 Most Terrifying Foods in the World”. Never tried any of those mentioned, and hmmm… looking at the pictures, i dont have any will to try (even one bite). The closest i’ve ever touched is Balut (which was ranked #1!).


    See the picture, yaksssss…!

    Going to visit Arroyo next week! Yai! But, i promised myself, to not try Balut. And, from the comments in cracked.com,
    that Balut is mainly an aphrodesiac for Philipian whores. She said that they are sold at night and all the whores come and buy them and you can hear them and their pimps yelling for it “BALUT! BALUT!?” and in the morning after all the crazy whoring you find the egg shells all over the place.

    Yep yep! I hear them screaming “Balut” every night!
