The Internet and the 2007 Philippine Election

Posted by Pedestrian Observer viewpoint......... on Tuesday, March 27th, 2007 @ 9:44 pm in Politics.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing? You decide where and how it will go depending on how far your imagination will take you. The only thing that will stop you is your desire and willingness how far you will take it. Hop on in the jeepney, let’s all take the journey in the dawning of a new beginning. While checking on the progress of mybloglog account I found this interesting article of Stelify an Internet Blogger in mybloglog community who had something to say about the Internet usage and it’s relation to the 2007 Philippine election. Her take is very refreshing citing 7 million Internet users with 1.1 million estimated active users in the Philippines which is really a sizeable number that it is surprising why up to this point not a lot of traditional politicians (I am glad they are not and hopefully never as in never ever in our lifetime and future generations to come, hahaha)...

Chatting, surfing and burning :P

Posted by HyukTa.net on Tuesday, March 27th, 2007 @ 3:23 pm in Personal - Philippines.

Thank you, kyophile and lady_noremon, for answering my survey. \m/ You guys rock! XD I’m using the laptop now because my computer’s busy burning. I should burn about 200 cds by later or tomorrow. I wonder if my Tito and I will meet up later, so he could get the cds. o_O I’ll be sleeping around 5AM or 6AM just to burn. I’ll be like a walking zombie again when I go out, but I’m sure this would be worth it. D Anyway, due to this burning, I was stuck at home. I’d rather be than go out. The summer heat is just too much. I can hardly stay long in my room. The sun’s direction is directly to it. Just imagine how hot it is here in the afternoons. ~_~ Luckily, I have this laptop and I could still surf the net in the sala. Hehe~ I spent my afternoon yesterday chatting with Jhan. We chatted til around 10PM. We talked about food, the underwear thief, Sailor Moon Live Action series, her loverboi, her studies, etc. ^_^ I miss her. She hardly goes out or talks to us anymore. She’s too busy with her loverboi and school. Plus, her Dad is getting stricter with her than before. Jhan said that’s because he found out about her loverboi. *lol* HyukTa.net’s finally included in Pinoy Blog Machine! Hehe~ I think this is the first time my blog’s been added to an aggregating site, so it makes me happy. The description of their site is:
PinoyBlogMachine is a blog aggregation site which consolidates the top Filipino blogs in one place.
^.^ My site isn’t one of the “top” Filipino blogs. I even doubt I’d be in the top 100 considering I do not blog any Philippine-related topics. Ah, there are some about local gigs or events. That’s about it I guess. P Maybe you guys haven’t seen this. I made a post in my VOX with pictures of the vandalisms on our building.

Vandals on MYCH Place

I’m going to save this post from my vandalism rants. Just read them in my VOX post if you’re interested. P I’d like to discuss something about my band, but I’ll save that for next time. I have to collect my thoughts properly. *lol* I’m getting irritated and when I’m irritated, my thoughts are a mess. Random sites plugging: The Tanooki — Nintendo news Top 15 Unintentionally Funny Comic Book Panels — Some commenters said that the images/content of this post came from Superdickery.com. I visited that site and, imo, I didn’t know where to go next. XP Oh well, read some gay love between Batman and Robin among other comic laughs. XD Phoebe Cates is apparently Asian nowThe Superficial is not one of the greatest sites out there although there are juicy gossips or news about celebrities. Why not the greatest? It’s like reading the comments in YouTube. Some are nasty. Some are completely racist who would sometimes deny being so. Example is the linked post. I am very offended with this comment. Probably the commenter is a gremlin himself and is just uber jealous because he doesn’t look human. ~_~ Bryanboy — XD Although I find Bryanboy’s uber thin piccies frightening, his blog’s really worth the time. Err, worth wasting your time on. Too. Maybe. XP Whatever. Mr. Bento Porn — A flicker site that, unfortunately, I had to unsubscribe from my Google Reader. Not because it’s bad. Only the food pictures make me hungry. P

Heels

First, the meggings, or men's leggings.


Now, they've invented men's shoes with heels.


That thing above is a fucking dude.

This is why I'll never understand fashion.

Study: For women, there’s nothing like the smell of a man’s sweat

Posted by Pinoy Guy Guide on Tuesday, March 27th, 2007 @ 11:43 am in Lifestyle.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about bad odor that results from sweating. I'm talking about pheromones. In case you didn't know pheromones are substances that we release that is scientifically known to attract and even sexually arouse the opposite sex. These substances are usually released whenever we sweat. According to the study researchers have found that people secrete a scent that

The Lazy Bones

Ahh. Sundays.

I have recently discovered the joys of doing absolutely nothing on Sunday. I started attending our new Saturday service specifically for this purpose. This last Sunday I spent lounging around in my jammies all day. And the Sunday before? Out the door at 730AM for a quick recording then solo time spent watching movies. I headed for Megamall in Mandaluyong and caught Bridge to Terabithia then on to the Metro Rail Transit and off at Glorietta 4 in Makati for Notes on a Scandal.

I caught the first screening of Bridge at 1030AM and had the theater all to myself. Prayed no scary previews would come on since I didn’t have a warm body next to me with an arm to hide under! I can be such a baby at times. No boogey man appeared on screen. Relief. The movie started and a third into it, it had me sobbing like a baby. Outcasts find friendship in each other until tragedy strikes. Glad I was alone. My face was a mess of red, puffy eyes and snot all over my hands from crying. Not pretty.

Still too early in the day to head home, I decided to kill time in Makati. Watching another movie was not part of the plan but I figured one more movie wouldn’t hurt. So without any idea about what it was about, I decided to sit through a couple of hours of Judi Dench (loveher!) and Cate Blanchett (loveher too!). Did not expect what I got. Something straight out of today’s news - teacher has affair with student half her age and is blackmailed by co-teacher who catches her and obsesses over her. Cate is teacher; Judi is co-teacher. Whew.

But movies are not what my Sundays have become. If anything at all, they are truly random. The movies just happen to fit in my agenda-less day. I am re-discovering how important it is to indulge in nothing from time to time. Including blogging. How important it is to lie down in bed with a good book, or a magazine, or a video in the player and simply be. No rushing, no writing, no thinking. Just good old-fashioned lazy.

Brushing of teeth is optional. And so’s bathing. This is my notion of how much my future husband will love me. Will he still be crazy about me despite my hygiene or lack thereof on a Sunday?! I promise to get clean though if he decides to take me out. If he’ll let me borrow his arm during scary previews. Then again, I’m hoping he’ll like being lazy too from time to time and will truly like staying home.

I think it’s good for the soul.

Movie of the moment: 300

Posted by Pinoy Guy Guide on Tuesday, March 27th, 2007 @ 2:15 am in Lifestyle.

I was able to watch 300 early last week. Well the movie was fantastic! It was very nice. I loved the adrenaline-rush fight scenes. Way back in highschool, the 300 Spartans led by Leonidas was one of the most memorable events I could remember in world history. Their courage is well admired by many. While the fight scenes are very enjoyable for young people, I would like to comment on the
