  • Desert

    “…like the desert misses the rain…”

    A friend mentioned this.
    Later, i give the sentence a thought. Does the desert really miss the rain? What if the desert actually hate the rain, and that’s why the rain never come? Or, probably, its soul mate is not the rain, but the wind and the sun? It has already found two of it’s finest mates, and lovers. Should the desert miss the rain then?

  • Prank Call

    Laugh myself to tear… :))

  • 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.
