Belly Dancing – Ito ay isang pangarap medyo mabigat matupad. Lalo na kung may katigasan ang balakang, tuhod, at marumi ang pusod. Oo marumi ang pusod ko, turn off no?. Kaya naman gusto kong matuto nito hindi para ma-conscious sa aking pusod, I just wanna perfect the art of staring, giving glances, and getting sore eyes altogether.
Pandango sa Ilaw – Hmmnn very Oriental touch kasi.. He he he. Pagkatapos magsayaw itulak sa upuan ang partner, ipahawak sa kanyang mga kamay ang mga basong may kandila. Alright… wooo down boy.. Teka ang kandila ay hindi para patakan ang bare chest, pero I really entertain the idea..weehee, but for pure concentration.. ahh ano na itong pinagsusulat ko)..
Matulog sa Biyahe – Hindi kasi ako sanay matulog ng komportable sa bus, kahit anim na oras ang biyahe. Kaya pagdating sa aking destinasyon mukha akong palaka na naumbag.
Pagmemekaniko – Kahit di ako marunong mag-drive nais kong magbutinting ng mga makina ng sasakyan. Humanity rin ang isa ko pang purpose, para kapag may nasiraan sa daan puwede akong tumulong. Kapag babae yung may-ari ng sasakyan, dapat gentleman. At kapag naman amoy pa lang malasa at hunky na half-Brazilian at half-Japanese ang nasiraan ng sasakyan.. Insert ngising aso. (Ubos lahat ng grasa niya sa katawan)
Massage – Nais kong matuto na parang professional sa pagbibigay ng masahe. Di sinasadyang na-impluwensyahan ako ng Johnsons and Johnsons Baby Oil touch therapy.. nye he he. Naniniwala ako sa healing capacity ng mga tao. O hindi ba napaka-humane ng purpose. Wholistic kasi ang approach ko sa buhay. Extra service? Shave na lang. Shave.

It may seem that way, but I'd like to think it is not that way. I never was hooked on the idea that there must be regular contributions from the members of this blog. Anyone is free to post here. We're not after the commercialism, all we want is a singular blog of people who incidentally are also g4m members. And even not being a member we don't discriminate. If you feel like posting, then do so. If you don't you're not required to.

M2M Masahe
I was browsing the back of Tower Records (where they usually place erotica) when I chanced upon this vcd: M2M Masahe. Seeing it was in the vcd format, I immediately scanned for a dvd copy. There was none. Upon closer glance at the product I saw it was not produced by VIVA (hence the absence of a dvd copy) but VF Productions. Deciding they might have something to offer new I grabbed myself a copy.
Tagline: Hotter and more provocative than any pinoy male video....
A GUIDE TO INTIMATE TOUCH, PLEASURABLE STROKES AND SENSUAL MASSAGE.
(Read: Masahe 101)
And if you look closely, there's some kissing scenes (unlike in Provoq: the Male Friction)

WOWowee
Yesterday, i had a chance to catch some daytime television programs since it was a holiday. One particular program that caught me up hooking on the boobtube is the controversial noontime show Wowowee. How is it doing after the "technical glitch" that occurred.
Well, its business as usual for the show. It started with its usual high note of music fun and laughters. A dance revolution with the dance royalties and then a "beat that" portion where the dancers displayed tricks and stunts competing each other. Obviously the more popular tandem of Luningning and Mariposa got the nod of the viewers. Afterwhich they acknowledge each set of studio audience positioned round the studio with the female co host as well as the popular dancers doing the hosting chores. The fun continued with their Sayaw Darling segment, looking for studio audience who can show their dancing er comic skills to get the nod of Willie to be part of the "Bigaten"
After the opening extravaganza, comes another phase of the show, in their first game segment called Willie of Fortune, it features father and son or daughter / mother and son / daughter tandem who happen to have the same birthday. In this segment, a sudden change emotion will occur as the viewers are treated into a rollercoaster of emotions. One time you will cry as the contestants share life's cruelty and in an instant you will laugh at their tactfullness especially those children when asked about their message to their parent. One kid ask her mother to let her play outside, such a humble request that made the entire studio burst into laughter at the same time , amused with the kid's simplicity and candidness.
The same portion is stretched too long that in the end you will lose your concentration especially with that unholy hour wherein your eyes beg to close for an afternoon nap.
All in all, i would still choose to watch this program over the other noontime show precisely because it showcases ordinary lives that in one way or the other became an inspiration to everyone. The show gave you the total entertainment possible.
You call me cheap. okay, but then i would still be a wowowee fanatic!!!

A PETITION
>>>>>>>FORWARDED MESSAGE:
Dear Kababayan and Allies:
I heard through the grapevine about a remark made on an episode of
"Desperate Housewives" last night. The scene entailed Teri Hatcher's
character (Susan) at a hospital, being told by her gynecologist that
she might be hitting menopause. Susan replied, "Can I just check those
diplomas because I just want to make sure that they are not from some
med school in the Philippines." If you go to abc.com, you watch the
full episode and witness the scene at about 18:50 minutes into the
episode.
This type of derogatory remark is not only unnecessary and
hurtful, but is also unfounded, considering the presence of Filipinos
and Filipino Americans in the health care industry. Filipinos are the
second largest immigrant population in the United States, with many
entering the U.S. and passing their U.S. licensing boards as doctors,
nurses, and medical technicians. In fact, the Philippines produces
more U.S. nurses than any other country in the world. So, to belittle
the education, experience, or value of Filipino Americans in health
care is disrespectful and plain and simply ignorant.
As Filipino Americans, we need to band together to ensure that
this type of hateful message is not allowed to continue on our
television and radio airwaves. Given the recent amounts of media
attention that has been given to Michael Richards (against African
Americans), Isaiah Washington (against gays), and Rosie O'Donnell
(against Asian/ Chinese Americans), it is ridiculous that this type of
hateful speech made it through various screenwriters, the show's
producers, the show's actors, and ABC itself. Yet, this isn't the
first time that negative remarks have been made about the Philippines
or Filipinos in the past. In recent years, we've heard one too many
"dogeater" comments by "comedian" Joan Rivers on the red carpet or in
her standup act, and I believe that it is about time that we stand up
for ourselves, so that this type of hateful speech never happens again.
Please join me in expressing your concern, disappointment, and/or
disgust to the producers of ABC.com. You can sign the petition at
http://www.petitiononline.com/FilABC/ or you can reach them directly
abc7@abc.com.
And please feel free to forward this widely to other
Filipinos/Filipino Americans/Asian Americans/and other allies.

Recall
Many schools attempted to make men out of children.
However they forgot to remind their students to remember the child.
Never knowing men grew back--needing to be nurtured once more.

Still John Uy
"This will not be the last time you'll hear from me..." -- John James Uy, Be Bench Grand Finals Night, September 11, 2007
I already knew that Carlo won since it was in the papers last week. (Congratulations to Carlo's fans!) Last night, I watched the event on TV, just so I could see how John fared in the finals. He was still the hottest! I must admit though that he looked as if he doesn't know where to go during the segment where they had wings.
When they announced that John is eliminated, I felt his pain. Awang-awa ako sa kanya. I felt like I wanted to be there and hug him and tell him it's okay (Haha, grabe na ito, IN MY DREAMS!!!).
I think he expected that he will win, or make it to the top four at the very least. He really looked shocked. I even thought he was gonna cry. But no, he did not. And that made me like him even more. I really wanted him to win the competition. Carlo was not my favorite, though he was really the first guy I noticed when I first watched Be Bench. And I admit he has a pretty face and a cute smile. But as the show went on, I lost interest in him. Oh well, that's life. They all deserve to be there, anyway.
Basta ako, kay John pa rin ako! Hehe. Hottest ever!

sojourner
this part of the city is ambivalent. observe those soft, yellow lights terribly equidistant as we are to pedestrians and passengers who populate the roads below. they serve to illuminate one who feels lost, to ask that easy man for directions, but nothing fancy like kindness.
but further behind the light, in covert places, is forgetting. the darkness knows how to heal what has happened to us in this city, even if only for few hours. close your eyes and believe at this tenderness now claiming your body, a kiss at a time, ebbing where there is need, yielding where you are firm, ending when there is painfully nothing left to give or to take.
a few minutes after, you light a stick at border of this comfort found within the city. the smoke dances away from you, toward the windows, until outside, it dissolves within that air you will breathe later, while you try to withstand the growing distance, while you slowly change as anyone and everyone else, headed for home.

meander
you write indirectly, choosing oblique angles to capture that event, which seems to sink in just now. you do this not only for the beauty of a broken narrative, but a testament to your cowardice to be blatant.
or probably, you are still trying to grapple a perspective, if not the truth, either of which remains elusive up to now. or to segregate the tangled details to suit your understanding. either way, you collect the pieces as you tell the tale to a friend, tolerating incoherence and inaccurate explanations, as this is the only way for you to gauge if you're nearer or father from a past you are trying to relive and forget at the same time.
as he listens attentively, you tell him that the mistake was yours, as if you believe that it is a mistake in the first place. but isn't it? to finally close in on someone now becoming a referent of many things -- songs, images, thoughts beneath thoughts.
i imagine a hand unburdened of a heavy stone, now lost and fumbling amidst lightness. i look at my hand, and i see a lousy metaphor that pleaded to be written. and somewhere within the preceding sentences, the past and the present ramble into each other's path, like one sea wave to another, converging, departing but not enough to separate itself from the other, like this post to its blurry origin, both of them ending without beginning.

Wowowee Controversy.. you be the judge
The author of the video below somehow tried to give a logical explanation as to why the recently much talked about incident on the show wowowee happened... Express yourselves G4m bloggers
Like a Virgin
I received a message on my mobile telling me that smart unlimited text service is back, and true enough i manage to register even if it was beyond 5pm cut-off time.
To make use or say abuse the unlimited service, i forwarded a message to everyone on my phonebook with something like this:
"If youre given a chance to ask me one controversial question , what would it be"
The responses were enourmous with random questions that includes safe questions like
sino ka date mo ngayon (who is your date now)
to some inane questions like why a building is called as such when it is already built? there is even a response that says... "did you love me?" , that coming from someone i just meet once. hehe
All throughout the responses, there have been quite a few controversial and mischievous questions being thrown unto me... Questions like
Are you gay?
May experience ka na ba? ( Do you already have an experience?),
Naga fuck ka ba? (Do you fuck?) the question being referred to as sex with the same sex.
One predominant question of all which i was caught offguard was the question of virginity....
Virgin ka pa ba? ( Are you still a virgin?)
Sino nakadivirginize sa yo (Who divirginize you?)
Pwede ba kitang i divirginize (Can i divirginize you?)
What age did you lost your virginity...
These questions brought me back to my high school days where i first had this so called sex...
shivering ... anxious ... afraid... mixed emotions of a boy whose eyes glowed in horror as the predator feasted on his innocent raw body...
Just one of the things found on my closet... hahayzzzzzzzzzz

SOMEONE
A lot of people has asked me who "Someone" is?
I dont know how to explain it and how to introduce him in this blog ...
I think im falling for him (Here we go again turismoboi, akala ko b nagbago ka na?, so impulsive)....
At first I wasnt aware of this attraction I felt for him, I thought I was just too interested and too intrigued, I thought I was just curious, I even told myself that this is just "libog". I thought that if I find another interesting guy, (thats why I tried to date other people) this attraction will die naturally, but recently I think it was getting stronger.
He was kind to me and the rest of the people as well. He was friendly or maybe too friendly, I dont know if we are really close or its just because thats what I want to think, and I really dont want to ask if he is close to me or not, but right now I could proudly tell he is now special but I dont want to hurt people.
A friend told me maybe it because he's just getting too friendly to me or maybe he was just a professional flirt after all everybody seems to have fallen for him not just me, my friend told me to be distant to him, I was trying to do that for days, but I gave up, I just cant help to be close to him even if its not right. My friend told me that he must be really a flirt or just maybe too attractive for me thats why I'm so eager to be with him.
"Hindi mo pa kasi natitikman, like what you always say libog lang yan"
but is it libog lang? I know by choice this feeling will pass, but I dont know, right now it is killing me, I kept on thinking about him (Here we go again turismoboi, ilang beses na ba narinig sakin yan sa blog) but I just cant help it, thats me, and its wrong, very very wrong.
I am very much aware that things wont work like what I want them to be, "Someone" is very much taken and very much in love with his significant other. I am just a stranger to this scene. I came late and Im sure ill just pass this relationship, maybe ill be the reason for the jealousy, ill be another trial or challenge to make their relationship stronger or maybe im just assuming too much.
"Someone" doesnt know that im feeling this, and I dont want him to have a hint. Im not going to tell this to him at all, not at this time or not even in a later time, its just too complicated to express this feeling especially now, im not sure how he will even react, he may just laugh, I dont even want to see his suprised, unexpected reaction. I will be a laughing stock of the couple and the people around us. There are lot of single persons out there? Im not sure why I'm attracted to this one? (TANGA!)
Recently he was giving signs that I think hes attracted to me as well (or maybe I thought there were signs but they are actually not) but I guess he is also now aware that the so called friendship we are building is going to a different direction if we allow it, I think he loves his significant other and he doesnt to hurt him again. I was kind of a witness on how he tried to fight for this relationship. Now that there is a calm water on their end, here I come storming around.
I have decided now to set a distance. I hardly text him or talk to him. I found as well a sign and an excuse last week to set more distance, he's smart I'm sure sooner or later he will realize that im doing this because I dont want to hurt anyone, I am helping him not to commit a mistake. I am helping myself to fall out of love or maybe not to fall in love at all. At this point, I believe this is just attraction but I really dont want this to progress to something.
Coincidentally, I was browsing Youtube when I found this new video of Avant and Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls, video was good but the message really hit me
Below are some of the lyrics and the youtube video, red portions of the song hit what I want to express, and the blue portions of the song are the ones I ambitiously want him to express.
Lie about us
"Baby I know when we started out there were things you didn't know, but babygirl we got a lotta things we
Need to discuss I know I'm asking for a lot, but just trust. you say that things gettin old sneakin'
Round creepin' and love on the low but baby girl I can't wait till' it's officially us, I can't wait to
Let them know about us.
First I thought that I could take you boy but I don't know, you told me you were gonna leave her for me Long ago.
Eventually I will but I just gotta take it slow don't wanna break her heart, altough I gotta let her go So baby ..
So please don't say you wanna give up.
How do I tell her that I'm falling in love,
And I know you're waiting patiently for that day
When we no longer have to lie about us.
Im with her all I want is your touch,
And when you call me I don't wanna hang up,
And I know I say it often but I can't wait
Till' we no longer have to lie about us.
Baby I know situation don't seem fair to us both.
But babygirl, she's an issue that I'm bout to adjust.
Don't mistake our love is meant for just us,
You are my soul, mind, body, spirit all that I know.
But babygirl I can't wait till' it's officially us,
I can't Wait to tell the world about us.
Moving forward, I dont want you to leave my blog with an impression that I want something to happen, I am hoping but Im not expecting.
I know where I stand. Enough said.
Maybe I'll just wait........... or maybe not.

Pinakamagandang Komento para sa OFW ay mula kay Malu Fernandez:
However I forgot that the hub was in Dubai and the majority of the OFWs (overseas Filipino workers) were stationed there. The duty-free shop was overrun with Filipino workers selling cell phones and perfume. Meanwhile, I wanted to slash my wrist at the thought of being trapped in a plane with all of them.
While I was on the plane (where the seats were so small I had bruises on my legs), my only consolation was the entertainment on the small flat screen in front of me. But it was busted, so I heaved a sigh, popped my sleeping pills and dozed off to the sounds of gum chewing and endless yelling of “HOY! Kumusta ka na? At taga sann ka? Domestic helper ka rin ba?” Translation: “Hey there? Where are you from? Are you a domestic helper as well?” I though I had died and God had sent me to my very own private hell.
On my way back, I had to bravely take the economy flight once more. This time I had already resigned myself to being trapped like a sardine in a sardine can with all these OFWs smelling of AXE and Charlie cologne while Jo Malone evaporated into thin air.
Ang ganda di ba! Quoted from an issue of People Asia June 2007. What a woman of strong and admirable sensibilities. By the way the honorable lady is a columnist too of Manila Standard today.
“Just recently, I wrote a funny article in my magazine column and my friends thought it was hilarious. It was humorous and quite tongue-in-cheek, or at least I thought so, until the magazine got a few e-mails from people who didn’t get the meaning of my acerbic wit. The bottom line was just that I had offended the reader’s socioeconomic background. If any of these people actually read anything thicker then a magazine they would find it very funny. Most people don’t get the fact that they need bitches like me to shake up their world, otherwise their lives would be boring and mediocre. I obviously write for the a certain target audience and if what I write offends you, just stop reading.
Although it may sound elitist to you the fact is this country is built on the foundation of haves, have-nots and wannabes. One group will never get the culture of the other. Although I could mention that it is easier to understand someone who has a lower socioeconomic background that would entail a whole other page and frankly I don’t want to be someone to bridge the gap between socioeconomic classes. I leave that to the politicians in my family who believe they can actually help. Now I seriously ask you, am I being a diva or are people around me just lacking in common sense? Perhaps it’s a little of both!”

crying tears of joy
after almost 4 months of nationwide blocking of youtube.com in thailand, i am soooo freaking happy, crying tears of 'sensual' joy, when YT was 'reinstated' today.
in april 4, the New York Times said:
'“We have blocked YouTube because it contains a video insulting to our king,” said Winai Yoosabai, head of the censorship unit at the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology.
Thailand’s ban on YouTube, the popular video-sharing Web site, came after YouTube’s owner, Google, refused to remove the video clip, the communications minister, Sitthichai Pookaiyaudom, said.
The clip, crude and amateurish and lasting less than a minute, depicts the king with clown features painted onto his face and an image of feet pasted over his head, an insulting gesture in Thailand.
In Thailand, insulting King Bhumibol Adulyadej is a criminal offense. Last week, a Swiss man convicted of vandalizing images of the king and Queen Sirikit was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Since the military government came to power with the overthrow of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra last September, it has banned Web sites, instructed the media to minimize reporting about Mr. Thaksin and has at times blacked out broadcasts of international news channels like CNN. Reporting in newspapers remains lively and apparently uncensored, except for criticism of the monarchy.
Mr. Winai said his department was looking for the person responsible for posting the clip of the king, which had been viewed more than 16,000 times and was posted by someone using the name Paddidda.'
there has been a lot of political, social, religious and economic unrest in Thailand since the military overtake September last year.
everyone is hoping that this would be a start of a 'more democratic', idiosyncratic as it may seem, governance.
oh, there's a big election happening on August.
whatever it is, i hope the Thais exercise their 'bigger' freedom to choose their leaders and 'meatier' share on how their Constitution will govern them.
i am not officially back to the World!
the rollercoaster ride
I’ve never been to Enchanted Kingdom, I have been to Star City and Ocean Park in HongKong, but i’ve never been to EK.
Ive never rode the rollercoaster too, ive never even tried to ride the pathetic Zycloon loop in Star City, the nearest almost rollercoaster ride experience will be most probably the Raging River in Ocean Park and the Wild River in Star City, I’ve always wanted to ride the rollercoaster.
Ive never rode the rollercoaster too, ive never even tried to ride the pathetic Zycloon loop in Star City, the nearest almost rollercoaster ride experience will be most probably the Raging River in Ocean Park and the Wild River in Star City, I’ve always wanted to ride the rollercoaster.
From now on I should be careful of what I wish for, you’ll never know u might get it in a split second, without you even knowing it.
The line to the ticket booth
So it started with text messages, conversations over the phone, sensible ones may I add, it was nice, it was smart talking, no boner teasing , no naughty saliva flowing SOPs, it was pure talk, two people getting to know each other, its like finding someone u think u know, while falling in line upon getting the tickets u’ve always wanted, after all it was your first time.
The tickets
So after several exchanges of nothing special but pure talk, aware of that growing (well I thought it was) “ATTRACTION” (or more than that), you both decided to meet, eager to know each other, you just bought the tickets, you’re almost there, waiting for your turn to be seated, waiting to be seated next to that someone you just found, a new found friend or more than that or maybe neither of both.
The seat
It was a two-seater rollercoaster, the type you see in cartoons, you can almost see the heart signs from the horizon, u know ur coming there, ur going to pass it for sure, sharing it with someone on your side, someone you like but ur not sure if he likes you, the mystery of the ride excites you, you try to stare at his eyes, but hes not that ready for you, maybe your moving fast or maybe its just that he's thinking too fast as well, aware of his instincts, aware of the signs he wants to see, is he scared like you, to ride that rollercoaster for the first time?, is he feeling the same way?, is he taking a risk as well if he will enjoy the ride?, did he really took a risk, well u’ll never know until the engine starts.
The ride
So the engine starts, slowly but surely u know its going to be fast, you try to relax, breathe heavily, and there it goes, the comfy straight line ride, the part where you just think that all is going well for this ride at all, its not that bad huh? Not at all for your first time, you then feel comfortable, well I guess only you but not that someone beside you, he was far away, he was too busy trusting his instincts, he’s there but his mind is elsewhere, or maybe not, ull never know until you get to the loop. The scariest yet exciting part of the ride. This is it!
The loop
You then feel some tension, your lungs is raising, its hard to breathe, you try to touch the rails of your seat, but I guess its too far to reach, you then ask him to hold you, this is what you were waiting for, you’ve always wanted to touch him, how would his hands fit into yours? But he resists, he then tells you “its too early”, you then became vulnerable, you became so small, you got embarrassed, maybe I was over reacting, you know its the loop part but how come, maybe I was just impulsive, maybe ur just too clingy, maybe ur just too mushy, maybe its just nerves, is it because of the ride or is it because of him? You don’t know! You’re not sure so you tried to enjoy the ride even if its already freaking you out.
The fall
As you feel butterflies in your stomach, you then felt like your slipping, you started to panic, you tried to get some help, you looked at him questioningly, you then asked him why? He then answers “I just don’t feel a spark, there’s no fondness” and there you go, falling from the loop, the risk you took paid off, your flying in the air, you looked at him, but I guess he was too far already, you wouldn’t know what he was thinking, it was instinct he said, and it was carelessness for you, next time fasten the seatbelt because it was not enough, your not good enough! He was up there, your just here, you’ll never know when you’ll see him again, I guess you will never will, he wouldn’t take the risk, he wouldn’t take the chance, after all it was instinct who told him so. Your nothing but a speck of false hope in that big word!
The catchers
You felt the ground, it was too fast, Joms was right! Now u know?!, You just wanted to be yourself, you don’t want to pretend, but there’s no spark, you were not that good enough, your just a speck to that big word!, your nothing compared to the other riders, your not that sensible, your not that hot, your not good looking or maybe because your just too conceited? But hey you will never know right?! You will never will! The ground feels soft, the ground feels like human, you then realized your being carried, you then saw your friends,
There was John telling you: “Diyosa ka! Isa siyang immortal! Tonta!”
Apollo: “Maybe your just too much for him to handle, Cute ka naman ah! Marami pang nakapila”
Nazi : “Tigilan mo yang kalandian na yan, mag videoke na lang tayo”
Tim: “Red Box b to?! Join ako!”

Tim: “Red Box b to?! Join ako!”
Red: "There is someone out there that is better and who will love u more, m just here if u need me ok?"
And then u felt like you just found home, the ride was nice, maybe the next try will be better? The encouraging words help you, comforted you, you started to pick up yourself, faster than expected, you sat down in the corner "I think ill better wait till someone ask me again to ride that rollercoaster!"
So What’s Turismoboi’s good at then?
I guess, I can MOVE ON faster unlike no other gay guy in the Philippines can do
“I wanted to thank you for all of the nice conversations, I wish you luck, I actually prayed to God to help you find that someone your looking for, to continuously trust your instincts and never let them deceive you, maybe we’ll meet in another time, we don’t know, I tried to be friends and keep in touch but I guess it wasn’t that right, after all friendships sometimes do needs sparks as well, I guess…………..”

Water is Life
DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH
It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven a its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases: Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.
METHOD OF TREATMENT
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes
3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours
5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.
6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life. The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases: 1. High Blood Pressure - 30 days 2. Gastric - 10 days 3. Diabetes - 30 days
4. Constipation - 10 days
5. Cancer - 180 days
6. TB - 90 days
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards - daily.
This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times. It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life.
Drink Water and Stay Healthy and Active
This makes sense .... the Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water.
Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.
Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats . It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
(Caution: Subject to further research)

WET PARTY
And so it rained bitches and pussies on the night of the supposedly stunning, breath-taking, pure white party.
Whoever got the idea of establishing gates on the streets of Nakpil must’ve lost their minds. The fact that the skiiii has unloaded made it even worse – long queues for the entrance while experiencing the humid wrath of nature. They should’ve at least installed a couple of big umbr-ellas to sustain the immense crowd anticipated.
It sucks big time.

G4M Dialogue: On Aggression
Guys would do everything to get noticed and there are always two things to do that. Either they would project a very good impression or a very bad one. It has to be extreme because if not, they would be just one ordinary boring individual. Here’s one recent message exchange I have with one guy from cyberspace.
I have received even nastier comments than this but it still ended fine. I know the guy had messaged me before and I could have not responded. That angered him and that is the only reason I could think of to provide answers to his hostile attacks.
I never liked to get aggressive when I am attack, even though how destructive it is. I always follow the golden rule, “Do unto others what you want others do unto you.” I believe that if you show kindness to even the cruelest man on the planet, he would do the same. Head-on confrontation results to further conflict and in the end both could end up loosing.
I think the guy finally see that because he did not reply to my last message. I think reason had finally got into him. Or maybe he’s devising another strategy of attack. Think of human persistence.
But beware. Those who angers you, defeats you.

PBB HOKUS POKUS
The current season of the reality tv show Pinoy Big brother is now into its final days... or it could be the whole franchise might be in its final run because of the controversies the show got in the entirety of its second season run.
The current season of the reality tv show Pinoy Big brother is now into its final days... or it could be the whole franchise might be in its final run because of the controversies the show got in the entirety of its second season run.
ONE particular controversy involved the so called "favorite" of the show's business head. INfamous of her tactless yet without breeding comments and reaction after the face to face nomination , housemate wendy got the ire of the viewing public and everywhere in pbb forums, hate mails and spam mails circulated like a wildfire. It can be recalled that this housemate was already evicted from the house but was returned, no thanks, to their "BALIK BAHAY" twist.
The subscribers of PBB 24/7 on the net are also complaining because two cameras being livestreamed online always focuses on wendy adding to the already built up notion that this housemate is big brother's favorite.
One eviction put the viewers in rage when a public darling housemate nel became a sacrificial lamb to 'save' housemate wendy. Comparing the status of the two, the former being loved by the masses because of his sense of humor and good attitude while the latter, being hated for her uncalled for behavior, who would not raised their eyebrows to hell when Nel was voted out in favor of wendy?
Then last night was the night everyone was looking forward to. Everyone hoped that of the five remaining housemate, surely wendy will be eliminated from the big 4. But the final eviction was the other way around. The showbiz son "Bodie" was evicted and wendy again was safe and became part of season 2's BIG four.
The people at the eviction hall were shouting 'WENDY LABAS WENDY" (wendy out wendy) showing their disagreement on the latest turn of event.
Now that wendy is part of the big four, a possibility of her emerging as the big winner is not a farfetched scenario. The fans are crossing their fingers and are hoping she wont win or else, legions of followers of the pbb might nowhere to be found in the next season of the show if there would be...
A "booo" for wendy is in the offing comes the big night at the big dome. Something to look forward to...
as of now, we just have to sigh...

Sometimes I really wish that there was a device conencted to my brain that would automatically convert my thoughts into written (or typed as this case may be) words. But then again, that would result in millions of blog entries that even I might not be able to keep up with.
Last night friends invited me to a gimmick somewhere in Manila (technically Malate but not the Malate we PLU know). It was really a large circle, inadvertently my friend-crush was also invited. It was an exciting prospect to share a taxi ride with him, you know, bonding and getting to know each other.
As it is, it was really a crush. However, I believe years of being single had somehow made me desperate (and I affirm that its just a bit) and I deluded myself in having a chance with him. Time and time again (and this time was no different) I'd be sarcastic to him so that he won't bother me and yet at the same breath I would wish he could be mine [insert song here].
Double kill
1. We were supposed to pick up a friend in Makati before going there.
2. I saw his ex.
And the killings didnt stop.

One of the Greatest Mind Said and an Apology to Him
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
"The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker."

Dear Sir,
If we had only known, yet we always know what to know, yet we do not know how to not know.
If I had only known.
I apologize.
Sincerely,
Dave

The Legend of the Chorvah
CHORVAH has its etymology from the Greek word cheorvamus meaning "for lack of the right word to say", or "in place of anything you want to express but cannot verbalize". Ibig sabihin pala, siya ay parang "aloha" sa wikang Hawaiiano, which can mean many, many things.
"Chorvah" can be used as:
Noun: "ano" / "kwan" / "or something"
"Ate Glow, kelan yung birthday chorvah ni Big Mike?"
"Hoy, Vicky to, whatcha gonna wear ba? The sporty or the chinese chorvah mo?"
Adjective: used if you want to be polite.
"Ang chorvah naman niyan!"
( So, ano ba? Pangit ba o maganda? Baduy ba or ang arte?)
They will never know what you really mean. How polite!
Verb: can replace any verb
"Chorvah lang ng chorvah!"
Chorvah is such an amazing word, it lets you choose your own adventure. At least you will never be accused of putting words in somebody else's mouth. If you don't have anything to say, or you can't find the right word to say, or you want to say something but you don't know how to say it, just say CHORVAH!
Variations: Chuvah, Chenes, Chenelyn

TriNoma (First Part)
He had been waiting across the street when I got out of the office after our shift.
Wearing a faded jeans, a white hooded shirt and a cap, it is one of the very rare moments when somebody picks me up and patiently waits for me to finish my duties.
Usually, it's the other way around.
The guy is as tall as me. He must be a 5'9er. At first glance, he looks stocky to me. However his big arms and broad shoulders will tell that he's into gym as well. He has a tanned skin which is slightly lighter than mine and small droopy eyes that always look sleepy when you gaze at them. Not bad, especially if you would consider his overall projection which is, by all accounts, twice as masculine as me.
I think he's a good catch.
"So how was your day dude?" He asked me.
"I'm good, a little lazy today." I replied.
We started walking towards the jeepney stop, unsure of a place to go. When we reached the intersection where P and I used to walk together, my impulse told me to turn right and still walk the long broken road going to Shaw Boulevard. I knew my companion was observing me. Obviously, he felt my sadness. For he walked faster to get ahead of me, only to turn back so that he could get my full attention.
"Gusto mo try natin sa Epitome? Let's have fun there," he said.
I just smiled and continued walking. Lately, I'm in no mood to get naughty - except if it was my buddy I am with. With a slight sign of disappointment, his mood became serious again and for the rest of our journey towards the main road, we were not talking.
He never asked where we would be heading. All I know was that he just followed me quietly. In front of the jeep where we had chosen to sit, I saw him glanced at me when I looked at the side mirror. Maybe he was assessing his strategy to reach out to me. Perhaps, he was scanning my hotness factor considering that he's one of the horniest guys that I know.
At the MRT, we remained non-communicative to one other. No one wants to talk and being a guy that does not really talk - a lot, I did not expect him to make the first moves. But I knew he was trying to get close, he just don't know how. There were times he would put his elbow on my shoulder and since it was cool with me, I leaned closer - to let him know that I feel good to what he was doing.
When we arrived at TriNoma, the newest super mall in the city, the first thing we did was to look for an ATM booth. He said it will be his treat, no matter how I insisted to pay our bills. I told him that it was me who invited him to go out, but my pleas only fell to his deaf ears.
Since it was already past 3 pm and both of us had not eaten our lunch yet, we immediately went to the food court. Craving for pasta, I suggested that we should try World's Chicken since they serve the best Fettuccine Alfredo that I know of. He complied immediately since his hunger won't let him complain any longer.
When our order was served, we ate our late-lunch at a table nearby.
Halfway towards finishing our lunch, he suddenly broke the silence by asking me a cryptic question:
"So why did you leave me Joms, I thought I would always be around for you?"
"But I thought you're the one who abandoned me. You left me alone defending myself and my emotions from that last guy I've been attached with," I said, while slicing a large chunk of grilled chicken on my plate.
"Did I? I tried to reach out to you dude, but your emotions were too messed up for me to get close to you. Maybe you didn't want me to intervene in your affairs after your fall-out? Maybe you were enjoying in your own pain, that you never sought me to pull you out so that I could help you move on much easier."
"Yeah I did... I just don't want to get hurt by others anymore. Don't you see that it's useless...?"
"Useless what?" From the tone of his voice, I knew that he was a bit agitated already.
"Nothing... Let's not talk about it right now. What's important is that you're here again," I said.
My companion did not reply after I told him how vital his presence is to me. He just briefly looked into my tired eyes, smiled and went back to emptying his plate full of pasta. He must have sensed that I was too self-absorbed with my own pain to take his suggestions.
After our meal, we didn't stay long at the food court since there were many diners waiting for their turn at the table. We went to the top floor, hoping to see a scenic view at the open-air park over there. Unfortunately, the clouds hung heavy around us so there was nothing really to see. Besides, the landscaping staff were still busy applying finishing touches to the pond and the viewing deck across from where we were standing. After a minute of looking around, we decided to go back and check out the stores in the mall instead.
"Let's go see a movie," I suggested.
"And what movie do you want to see, Joms?" He asked.
"Anything that is feel-good. I need to laugh," I said.
"Then let's watch Shrek 3. Im sure you will find the movie a laugh trip."
So we went to watch that movie. Fortunately it was just about to start and there were still many seats available inside the theater. We picked an isolated area near the screen because we were both nearsighted. I also don't want the other moviegoers to get annoyed the moment I start laughing my heart out.
Shrek 3 was indeed a laughing trip - especially the part where Snow White was making a freakish dance move in order to get the tree-soldiers' attention, while singing in her all-original 1920's voice. Imagine the classic Snow White Disney movie where she sang in the woods and attracted all the furry animals to approach her. Remember the small blue and white birds perching on her shoulders while the squirrels and deers wander around her feet. That was how the scene was like at Shrek 3. Indeed, every critter in the forest and the two tree-soldiers (which looks exactly like the Ents in Lord Of The Rings) suddenly got fascinated at the innocent-looking Snow White.
However, the pleasant mood changes suddenly the moment Snow White's singing voice became raging and powerful. Suddenly, all the furry animals around her became blood-lusty and simultaneously attacked the tree guards by gnawing at their trunks and leaves. For some reasons, that part made me laugh so loud, that even the moviegoers several seats from us suddenly looked at me.
It doesn't matter though, I had fun. For all I know, I rarely laugh that loud. The only other thing that could make me do so is Wanda Ilusyonada's blog.

thief in the house
As i was busy contemplating about my life and whatever happened to my relationship with my ex bf who found a new bf (btw a chaka bf) BITTER!?
no its just charantia! abs bitter herbs! running in my veins pakshet!
i have ignored a major happening in my very own house
here how the story goes
we have a relative who is a very lazy person who stays in our house for some months already
this relative is the grandson of the mother in law of my mommy (as in lola)
technically, he's a very distant relative, but u knw filipinoes, everybody seems to be your relative especially if they are close with the family
my mommy is a very hospitable woman, even though this guy did stole money and jewelry from her back when her late husband (my daddy as in lolo) was still living, that was during the 1980's
she still accepted this guy in our house after 20 years of him not showing up
she gave him a second chance, he needed some help at that time, no money, no house, no job, no family, his son and wife left him and went back to the province
but a thief will always be a thief
at first everything seems to be fine in our house,
"wala namang nawawala"
nita our maid is a very trustworthy person and we have proven that already
this guy however was a stranger to us at all
he is jobless, he always sleep, he even drinks and smokes even in front of my mommy
in fairness to him there are small good things that he had done with us
like being a guard to our gate, receiving calls when were not home, making sure the dogs eat well etc etc
but like what i said sooner or later... the thief will still be a thief
one morning, he asked my mommy for some old clothes, he will go to the province and ask for forgiveness to her wife and son daw! and give those clothes daw?! to our underprivileged relatives as well,
the soft hearted mommy was touched by his supposed to be sincere act of regret so my mommy gathered old clothes and even gave him money for his fare and some food and a small amount of money for his trip
since my mommy trusted him, my mommy told him to go to the third floor and get the clothes that are on the couch
after he picked the clothes which btw he just picked two children t shirts only wherein its supposed to be a big bag, he sped off as quick as flash!
2 weeks after heres the scene in the house
my mommy and cousin are looking for some jewelry that my cousin could wear for the sagala
my cousin is going to attend the biggest santacruzan in makati
ahem! i was once a part of it! i was the reyna emperatriz JOKE!
nah constantino naman hehehehe!
so here it is, my mommy was very definite that she left some jewelry in one of the drawers near the couch
she, nita and my cousin tried to looked for it, as in the whole third floor
but she never found it, then it hit her
could it be him?!
my mommy wanted to believe na its not him but hey who else
alang naman isa sa mga members of the family
plus the fact na he did it before,
benefit of the doubt?! if ur going to ask me, i dont think so, it doesnt apply to this one
the guy has thief records before and he ran like he's not going back at all
my mama (as in mama tlaga) was so mad with my mommy, the jewelries were supposed to be in the vault at the bank
it seems that my mommy didnt inform us that she took some jewelry out of the vault
my mama was very frustrated and mad as hell
now what happened to the thief
well till now he hasnt showed up yet its almost a month already
and i dont think he will do, its going to take another 20 years before he goes back to us
grabe!
he stole worth 20,000 of jewelry, its not about how much it cost but the trust kc
plus the fact that we've been good to him, we gave him food, money for his cigarettes and sometimes i give him some allowance pa
we thought with that goodness you showed him, he will change, but hey he didnt
its all sad,
my mama still doesnt talk with my mommy because of this,
she told my mommy before, not to let this guy live with us for a long time
my mama had the vibes but my mommy wasnt listening
now heres the result
hayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so bad!

a time to see what’s mine
meng,
Every second of the day is a tasked accomplished by hope, reinforced by the idea of love and what tomorrow holds for us. It’s not wishful thinking, like the first time I saw you that I’ve told myself you’re someone too much to take but I knew I want you right then. Now, I’m so into you and I can’t get enough.
Everytime we are together it might appears that I’m in control, exploding with confidence and know what to do next. But I don’t honestly really know what to do next. Everytime we are apart I feel the relief of being away from you. However, I am soaked up of wanting being with you again.
I love you. This I not say every second or every hour. I’m taking that fact for granted. And this truth could change for I have no reason to know the future. And these words could change because I’m taking it to the next level of loving you.
And if I do have a reason to know the future it would be a question of how things might have been—so that I could change the moment and live to love a man like you for a lifetime.
So I guess it is about time to end this mutual friendship.
And the world hasn’t seen if this will be the greatest finishing act of all but nobody will wonder to care; only again to stand little in the corner of the shadows. Everything could have been a product of an imagination but tell it to me, right in my eyes, say the words I dare not spoken for I have been always scared. I am no longer the same and things won’t be the same for us.
There were those times I don’t believe it could happen to me, but now I find these are the real times I admit I need somebody badly. I can be strong and alone and that you know very well. But do you also know I’m falling for you for a reason and a thousand more reasons. Writing this makes me sober like the day of clouded sky and gentle breezes, unsure what dreams and nights are really made of. Look what you did to me.
warmest hug,
dave

Just a bit of a laugh.
Just a bit of a laugh.
Actual call centre conversations !!!!!
Customer: "I've been ringing 0700 2300 for two days and can't get through to enquiries, can you help?".
Operator: "Where did you get that number from, sir?".
Customer: "It was on the door to the Travel Centre".
Operator: "Sir, they are our opening hours".
Samsung Electronics
Caller: "Can you give me the telephone number for Jack?"
Operator: "I'm sorry, sir, I don't understand who you are talking about".
Caller: "On page 1, section 5, of the user guide it clearly states that I need to unplug the fax machine from the AC wall socket and telephone Jack before cleaning. Now, can you give me the number for Jack?"
Operator: "I think you mean the telephone point on the wall".
RAC Motoring Services
Caller: "Does your European Breakdown Policy cover me when I am travelling in Australia?"
Operator: " Doesn't the product name give you a clue?"
Caller (enquiring about legal requirements while travelling in France): "If I register my car in France, do I have to change the steering wheel to the other side of the car?"
Directory Enquiries
Caller: "I'd like the number of the Argoed Fish Bar in Cardiff please".
Operator: "I'm sorry, there's no listing. Is the spelling correct?"
Caller: "Well, it used to be called the Bargoed Fish Bar but the 'B' fell off".
Then there was the caller who asked for a knitwear company in Woven.
Operator: "Woven? Are you sure?"
Caller: "Yes. That's what it says on the label; Woven in Scotland".
On another occasion, a man making heavy breathing sounds from a phone box told a worried operator:
"I haven't got a pen, so I'm steaming up the window to write the number on".
Tech Support: "I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop".
Customer: "OK".
Tech Support: "Did you get a pop-up menu?".
Customer: "No".
Tech Support: "OK. Right-Click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?"
Customer: "No".
Tech Support: "OK, sir. Can you tell me what you have done up until this point?".
Customer: "Sure. You told me to write 'click' and I wrote 'click'".
Tech Support: "OK. In the bottom left hand side of the screen, can you see the 'OK' button displayed?"
Customer: "Wow. How can you see my screen from there?"
Caller: "I deleted a file from my PC last week and I have just realised that I need it. If I turn my system clock back two weeks will I have my file back again?".
There's always one. This has got to be one of the funniest things in a long time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a true story from the Word Perfect Helpline, which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause".Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee.
(Now I know why they record these conversations! ):
Operator: "Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?"
Caller: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect. "
Operator: "What sort of trouble??"
Caller: "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
Operator: "Went away?"
Caller: "They disappeared. "
Operator: "Hmm So what does your screen look like now?"
Caller: "Nothing."
Operator: "Nothing??"
Caller: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
Operator: "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??"
Caller: "How do I tell?"
Operator: "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??"
Caller: "What's a sea-prompt?"
Operator: "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"
Caller: "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
Operator: "Does your monitor have a power indicator??"
Caller: "What's a monitor?"
Operator: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??"
Caller: "I don't know."
Operator: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??"
Caller: "Yes, I think so."
Operator: "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.
Caller: "Yes, it is."
Operator: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??"
Caller: "No."
Operator: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
Caller: "Okay, here it is."
Operator: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
Caller: "I can't reach."
Operator: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??"
Caller: "No."
Operator: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??"
Caller: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle- it's because it's dark."
Operator: "Dark??"
Caller: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only lightI have is coming in from the window."
Operator: "Well, turn on the office light then."
Caller: "I can't."
Operator: "No? Why not??"
Caller: "Because there's a power failure."
Operator: "A power....... .. A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in??"
Caller: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
Operator: "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
Caller: "Really? Is it that bad?"
Operator: "Yes, I'm afraid it is."
Caller: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??"
Operator: "Tell them you're too $*%ing stupid to own a computer!!!! !

Caller: "On page 1, section 5, of the user guide it clearly states that I need to unplug the fax machine from the AC wall socket and telephone Jack before cleaning. Now, can you give me the number for Jack?"
Operator: "I think you mean the telephone point on the wall".
RAC Motoring Services
Caller: "Does your European Breakdown Policy cover me when I am travelling in Australia?"
Operator: " Doesn't the product name give you a clue?"
Caller (enquiring about legal requirements while travelling in France): "If I register my car in France, do I have to change the steering wheel to the other side of the car?"
Directory Enquiries
Caller: "I'd like the number of the Argoed Fish Bar in Cardiff please".
Operator: "I'm sorry, there's no listing. Is the spelling correct?"
Caller: "Well, it used to be called the Bargoed Fish Bar but the 'B' fell off".
Then there was the caller who asked for a knitwear company in Woven.
Operator: "Woven? Are you sure?"
Caller: "Yes. That's what it says on the label; Woven in Scotland".
On another occasion, a man making heavy breathing sounds from a phone box told a worried operator:
"I haven't got a pen, so I'm steaming up the window to write the number on".
Tech Support: "I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop".
Customer: "OK".
Tech Support: "Did you get a pop-up menu?".
Customer: "No".
Tech Support: "OK. Right-Click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?"
Customer: "No".
Tech Support: "OK, sir. Can you tell me what you have done up until this point?".
Customer: "Sure. You told me to write 'click' and I wrote 'click'".
Tech Support: "OK. In the bottom left hand side of the screen, can you see the 'OK' button displayed?"
Customer: "Wow. How can you see my screen from there?"
Caller: "I deleted a file from my PC last week and I have just realised that I need it. If I turn my system clock back two weeks will I have my file back again?".
There's always one. This has got to be one of the funniest things in a long time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a true story from the Word Perfect Helpline, which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause".Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee.
(Now I know why they record these conversations! ):
Operator: "Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?"
Caller: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect. "
Operator: "What sort of trouble??"
Caller: "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
Operator: "Went away?"
Caller: "They disappeared. "
Operator: "Hmm So what does your screen look like now?"
Caller: "Nothing."
Operator: "Nothing??"
Caller: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
Operator: "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??"
Caller: "How do I tell?"
Operator: "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??"
Caller: "What's a sea-prompt?"
Operator: "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"
Caller: "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
Operator: "Does your monitor have a power indicator??"
Caller: "What's a monitor?"
Operator: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??"
Caller: "I don't know."
Operator: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??"
Caller: "Yes, I think so."
Operator: "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.
Caller: "Yes, it is."
Operator: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??"
Caller: "No."
Operator: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
Caller: "Okay, here it is."
Operator: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
Caller: "I can't reach."
Operator: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??"
Caller: "No."
Operator: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??"
Caller: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle- it's because it's dark."
Operator: "Dark??"
Caller: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only lightI have is coming in from the window."
Operator: "Well, turn on the office light then."
Caller: "I can't."
Operator: "No? Why not??"
Caller: "Because there's a power failure."
Operator: "A power....... .. A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in??"
Caller: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
Operator: "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
Caller: "Really? Is it that bad?"
Operator: "Yes, I'm afraid it is."
Caller: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??"
Operator: "Tell them you're too $*%ing stupid to own a computer!!!! !

Singlehood... Reasons for Seasons
This is a repost from a g4m forum posted by a good friend. His handle is Beta_blocker. This is a February 25, 2005 entry from his blog. Author unknown. But it's worth sharing... Read on!
"People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it
is, you know exactly what to do. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a Godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason, you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (any way); and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being part of my life."
The Legend of the Three Sexes
"This is why we always find someone to love..."
Do you ever wonder if you really have a soulmate?
Do you ever wonder why there are gays and lesbians?
Don't you ever wonder why some people love their same sex?
Do you ever wonder why some people love their opposite sex?
And do you ever wonder why these love are indestructible?
Why do most people seem to cannot live without someone to love?
And finally, why is it that people do not know what they have until it is gone?
Let me tell you about the Myth of Love...
It was said that before, in the origin of times, there were three sexes; male, female, and androgene. Original humans do not look like how we humans look today. Humans before were said to be twice of each person now, with two heads, two pair of eyes, two pair of lips, four hands, four feet, two bodies, two hearts, and of course two genitals. Then, if the person has two vaginas, that is a female. If the person has two penis, that is a male person. If the person has both the two different organs, a vagina and a penis, then that person is an androgene. They said that androgenes were the most beautiful people among all because they have mostly the best features and characteristics of both the male and the female. Because these people dream of being in heaven, even if they already have the heavens in their selves, they want to experience it even for just a little while. And so they climbed to Mount Olympus. Zeus got furious upon seeing the people going up the mountain. He said, "How dare these immortals climb our wondrous world? And to think I'd let them experience it! Especially now that they do not cherish of what they have!!! " He got so mad that he used his lightning bolts to cut each person in half to make them weaker enough so as not to continue on climbing." The God of Healers healed the wounds of the people cut in half. And from then on, everyone started to look out for their pair the moment they got down from the mountains.
This is why there is the term "soulmates". Their bodies, in which their souls rest, used to be one. Therefore soulmates. They said that this is also the reason why there are people who love their same sex, the gays and lesbians. They are the males and females before. And this also explains why gays are creative, because they are both males before, they tend to concentrate on what they lack. The same thing for lesbians. Because they are both females before, they tend to be strong as not to be underestimated. Androgenes would be equal to male and female lovers. That is why nowadays these couples are the most acceptable, stronger, and the most beautiful among all partners, they have the strength of both males and females. Lovers nowadays, whether gay, lesbian, or male and female couples, are indestructible because they are the pairs before. They are really meant to be. This myth also explains why it is natural for people to just realize the value of the people they love only when they are about to be gone or are already gone. Because this happened even before, and we become weaker without our pair. We realize that we need them, truly love them, and that together, we are stronger. This is also why we kiss.We always try to find the lips wherein ours will fit well. This is also why we like to hold hands with the one we love, to find out if the spaces between their fingers are the spaces where ours used to lay. And finally, this is why we always find someone to love. We always want to complete ourselves... Because we need the strength of the one we love in order to go on with the hardships of life... We need to fill in a missing space... And most of all, because we used to have two hearts.
We need to find the other one.

Isang Maikling Panaginip
May 13, 2007, sometime before 5:30 a.m.
Dinalaw ako ng isang maikling panaginip. Sa panaginip na ito, natutulog daw ako. May katabi akong dalawang lalaki, isa sa kanan at isa sa kaliwa. Lahat kami ay nakatagilid, at nakaharap sa iisang direksyon. Nagulat na lamang ako nang biglang naramdaman ko sa aking likod ang isang matigas na bagay. ____ ng katabi ko. Ang sarap ng pakiramdam. Hinawakan nya ang aking kamay, at nang lilingon na ako para tingnan sya at para magawa na namin ang dapat gawin.... NAGISING AKO!!! Hindi na ako muling nakatulog pa... Bad trip di ba?! Sana isa sa mga gabing ito ay mapanaginipan ko uli yon, at sana, hindi na bitin.

Tales Of The Firebomb Survivors
I.
Bumaba siya sa kanto ng Shaw at Kalentong, alam kung saan patungo. Upang madagdagan ang kanyang dalang pera, nagwithdraw pa siya sa Banco De Oro, na isang tawid lang mula sa kanyang binabaan. Sa tapat nito ay makikita ang Jollibee kung saan may mga jeep na patungong Punta, Santa Ana. Dito matatagpuan ang kanyang destinasyon. Matapos ang ilang minuto, may humintong jeep at siya ay sumakay dito.
II.
Mahaba-haba rin ang kanyang biyahe upang makarating sa may tulay. Sa Kalentong pa lang, tapat ng Marketplace ay dagsa na ang mga mamimili sa palengke. "Hindi kaya hassle pumunta roon?" tanong ng binata sa kanyang saril. "Bahala na, first time ko to doon pagkataon." Hirit nito sa kanyang sarili.
Bumaba siya sa isang complex bago dumating ng Gabby's ang jeep. Una niyang hinanap ang lugar, ngunit sa kasamaang palad, patay ang mga ilaw nito. Sa tabi ay may videokehan na may nagkakantahang mga GRO at mga tambay na mukhang katulong sa may pintuan. Ang kanyang hinahanap naman ay sarado, mukha atang nalugi na makaraan ang ilang buwan lang nitong pagbubukas.
Kaya't siya ay bumalik upang tumbukin ang ikalawa niyang target. Sa Kalentong rin ito ngunit sa kabilang dako naman. Sumakay siyang muli na jeep na magdadala sa kanya sa Shaw Boulevard. Makarating doon, siya ay naglakad ng kaunti upang sumakay muli ng jeep na magdadala sa kanya sa San Juan.
III.
Sa isang kanto, bago lumiko ang jeep. Napilitan siyang bumaba. Ang binata ay naglakad pa ng ilang metro at sa kanyang tapat ay bumulaga ang isang lumang bahay. Wala itong ilaw at pati ang sign nito ay nakapatay rin. Ikalawang beses na niyang pumunta rito kaya't kahit mukhang sarado ito pagdating sa labas, laging nakabukas ang pintuan nito para sa mga dayong katulad niya.
Ang binata ay tumawid. Hindi nito ininda ang nag-iinumang matatanda na nakatingin sa kanya, isang bahay ang pagitan mula sa kanyang pupuntahan. "Hindi kaya ma-boga ako dito?" Tanong niya sa kanyang sarili? "Sino ang tatawagan ko, sakaling lusubin ito ngayon gabi... bahala na, kelangan ko ng masahe." Sabi nito sa kanyang sarili.
Kaya't siya ay pumasok at naabutan pa ang ilang mga binatilyo na nagkwekwentuhan sa reception area. Ang lahat ay biglang tumayo at napatahimik sa kanyang biglang pagdating.
"Manong, magkano ho ulit?" Tanong niya sa mamang nakaupo sa lamesa. Ang ginoo ay matanda na, ngunit bakas sa kanyang mukha ang kasanayan sa biglang transaksyon na dala ng binata.
"P300" Sagot niya dito.
Matapos magkasundo sa presyo, agad tinuro sa dayo ang isang pader na gawa sa kahoy. Ito ay may maliit na butas kung saan ang binata ay kailangang sumilip at mamili ng magseserbisyo sa kanya. Mahigit pito ang nasa loob. Lahat sila ay nakatayo, mga seryoso at pilit na kinukuha ang atensyon ng binata - na magbabayad ng masahe nila pagdating sa taas. Para silang mga kabayo na ikakarera sa isang paligsahan. Ang iba ay nakasando - lalo na ang mga matipuno. Ang iba naman ay naka-tshirt. Mukha silang mga patpating mga bata na hinugot lang sa may kanto. Mayroong isa, halatang proud sa kanyang moreno at balingkinitang pangangatawan. Hindi man ito kasing bato-bato gaya ng sa iba. Sa kanyang porma pa lang, alam mo nang siya yung tipong mambabalibag sa kama.
Kung titingnan mo sila, para silang mga ordinaryong tambay sa isang skwater di malayo sa lugar. Hindi sila yung tipong nakwekwento sa mga forums o kaya naman ay pinagmamalaki sa mga magazine (maging jologs man ito). Tingin ko nga, ang ilan sa kanila ay maaring gumanap na sa mga "scandal" na binebenta sa Quiapo. Kumbaga, sinanay na sila ng panahon para sa ganitong kalakaran.
Wala pang isang minuto, nakapili na ang binata. Sa kanyang isipan, naglalaban kung kukunin ba niya yung kahawig ni Dominic Ochoa, o yung kaisa-isang barako na walang pang-itaas na suot. "Bahala na, trip lang naman ito." sagot niya sa kanyang sarili. "At least dito, walang personalan... masahe lang." Depensa nito sa kanyang gagawin. Mabilis ang mga sumunod na pangyayari. Nakatayo pa rin at pilit pa ring nang-eenganyo ang mga binata sa kabilang bahagi ng pader, samantalang ang receptionist naman ay halatang kinakabahan... Baka kako umatras ang dayong kliyente, wala na namang kita ang...
"Manong yung nakahubad sa dulo," Sabay biglang turo ng binata sa morenong balingkinitan na napansin niya na kaagad unang silip pa lang niya sa pader.
IV.
Umupo muli ang mga ibang nakatayo, ang napili naman ay nagsukbit ng tuwalya at inabot ang lotion at rubbing alcohol na nasa isang tokador sa tabi ng kanilang pintuan. Tahimik itong lumabas mula sa kanilang maliit na tambayan at inabangan ang binata na papalapit dito.
"Ikaw si James?" tanong ng binata.
"Opo sir," pangiting sagot naman nito. Ang kanyang mukha na ngayon ay gaya sa isang maamong pusa. Siguro dahil ay may kita... at posibleng extra na naman siya.
"Ayus... Ako nga pala si Jerson. Kinagagalak kitang makilala." Pakilala ng binata habang dahan dahan silang umaakyat ng hagdan na magdadala sa kanila sa mga aircon na kwarto sa itaas.

no regret (후회 없음)
here i go again...
i told my bestfriend that i was hitting the sack because of a tiresome day. but i stumbled upon this DVD i bought last weekend in downtown bangkok. it's called No Regret (Huhwihaji Anha). a Korean gay movie that centers on the love affair between a soon-to-be-married wealthy man and an escort.
whew! it was such a whirlwind--it blew me away!
this is (almost) the same feeling i got after i have seen Formula 17 (Taiwan) and Latter Days (US) last year. beautiful, beautiful story!
i have always wondered why there's such an upsurge of everything-Korean in every tellie in Asia; now i know it. Korean filmmakers (and actors) know how to make a simple plot go a long way... way way down your spine, legs (till it makes your knees weak) then soar up to your heart with a killer homerun.
whew!
truly, staying up this late for this kind of movie is absolutely no regret.
i hope you take this down as a recommendation. i suck at movie reviews. but when i make one, i have no regrets of suggesting. hihihihi
;-)
당신을 보십시오!
시계 " regret" 없음;!
