Hello people! We recently put up a group for Wordpress.Com and Wordpress.OrgPinoy Bloggers… We figured, we’ve been posting comments on each other’s blogs, sharing jokes, sympathizing with each other’s struggles and challenges, laughing and sharing on other’s triumphs, but never really get to interact more than we actually can.
But (hopefully) with the help of this new group called, “Wordpress Pinoys”, we can probably make our community tighter… mas “SOLID” kumbaga. Please invite your other Pinoy Wordpress bloggers to join the group so that those whom others haven’t met can get acquainted with one another.
We can do a whole lot with this group… we can start organizing events, eyeballs, get-togethers, and even find new ways to drive traffic to each others blogs!
I really hope we can all gather around this idea and help the group flourish… and expand. If we can really make this an entire Pinoy Wordpress network, we can probably even have Wordpress-sanctioned Pinoy events in the future!
So… if you’re a Filipino and you happen to have a blog here at Wordpress.Com or manage your own blog powered by Wordpress.Org then click the image below and join the group! We’d love to meet (and have) new members!
After signing up, if it isn’t too much trouble… please use the image above and kindly post it on your Wordpress sidebar and link it to the group’s site located at: http://groups.google.com/group/wordpress-pinoys

Vanessa Jakeman & Clare McDowell (Cambridge University Press) "WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR? Insight into IELTS has been designed as a course book for an IELTS preparation course. However, it is equally appropriate as a self-study resource book for students wishing to improve their IELTS skills on their own as it contains helpful advice, sample IELTS material throughout the units and detailed answer keys
(Cambridge University Press) "The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is widely recognised as a reliable means of assessing the language ability of candidates who need to study or work where English is the language of communication. These Practice Tests are designed to give future IELTS candidates an idea of whether their English is at the required level. IELTS is owned by three
Simone Braverman "This guide is here to teach you the IELTS test, not the English language. Why? Because even if English is your main language – forget about getting a good score in IELTS, unless you are prepared for it. Two main problems will get in your way: time, tricks and logical traps.

This post is just to tell my blogging friends in my blogroll that im transferring the list over to another page. This is to make a better looking sidebar. I think it would be beneficial for everyone since it gets to be added on my top menu itempage and labelled as "My Blogroll". This way, readers and visitors will be more aware of it.
Im going to make this a temporary change. After a month or so, i will evaluate it if it served its purpose. And if not, im going to work things out.
Im still in the painstaking process of tweaking my template. Its tough if you only know the very basic of html. But well see how it looks like.
If you want to have a link-exchange with Kirbitz, this blog is open to everyone without particular preference. . Just contact me.
There you have it! I want everyone to contact me if you want to have your Anchor text changed. I even want you to have a small caption about your blog. A 50-100 word description will suffice.
Bagong header image, mula sa pelikulang Mr. Bean’s Holiday.
Kapapanood ko lang nito sa pekeng DVD, ang kauna-unahang DVD na binili ko na hindi original. Hirap na hirap akong manood sapagkat lumalandi ang aming DVD player kaya pa-putol-putol ang mga eksena. Pati pagtawa ko paputol, parang installment.
Pinanood ko ito muli, sa computer. Hirap na hirap ako kasi wala namang sounds. Pakiramdam ko bingi ako na tawa ng tawa.
Ang maganda sa Mr. Bean kahit walang tunog maiintindihan mo ang mga ginagawa niyang mga kabalastugan.
Sa mga mambabasa ng blog na ito, lalo na sa naghihintay ng second installment ng Friendster pic pics, mukhang matatagalan pa ang paghihintay niyo. Nahihirapan kasi akong mag-save ng mga pics. Pero, gagawin ko talaga siya.

Pansin ko lang. Mukhang mainit na mainit sa mga Wordpress bloggers itong si Malu Fernandez. Kung, i-ta-translate ko ito sa aking baluktot na Ingles, “Malu Fernandez is so hot, according to Wordpress bloggers.” Hinayupak na English, di ba?
Hindi na ako magsasalita tungkol sa isyu na ito. Tama na.
I'm technically busy at the moment, watching endlessly episodes of NBN'4's Primetime Teledyaryo and surfing the Net on the side. Meanwhile, the latest issue to hit the blogosphere continues to rage -- in fact, I'm probably quite late in posting this.
Here's a comprehensive post on the whole Malu Fernandez controversy:
With the recent irresponsible, elitist, bigoted, and discriminating comments made by Manila Standard Today columnist Malu Fernandez in her People Asia magazine article “From Boracay to Greece” in which she makes many belittling comments about Overseas Filipino Workers and Filipinos in general, the response from Filipino bloggers have been overwhelming, and have not been light on the criticism. When do we say enough is enough and that we will no longer stand for the bigotry and discrimination that takes place, not only in this country but all around the world?
For her part, in her “apology”, Malu Fernandez addressed the emails responding to her article. However, the apology, was nothing more than another attempt to take a jab at Filipinos and to once again assert that she’s an elite that those in lower socioeconomic classes just fail to understand or comprehend her “wit”.
Will Standard Today follow the massive public outcry to fire Fernandez, or will the paper keep her to boost circulation (Striking while the iron is hot)?
La lune, trop blême,(the moon, too white)
pose un diadème (puts a tiara)
sur tes cheveux roux.(on your red hair)
La lune, trop rousse, (the moon, too red)
de gloire éclabousse (with glory splashes)
ton jupon plein de trous.(your ragged underskirt)
La lune, trop pâle,(the moon, too pale)
caresse l’opale (caress the opal)
de tes yeux blasés. (of your indifferent eyes)
Princesse de la rue, (princess of the streets)
sois la bienvenue (be welcome)
dans mon coeur brisé. (in my broken heart)…
There are instances when we are caught unaware, we never see them coming. We may half expect but hope they never happen, because we have preconceived prejudice against certain experiences, people and things, and we try to veer away. As much as we can, we try not to associate with these.
Such instances when the more you try to find reasons to avoid, the harder it gets to dismiss. We learn to understand, let go of bias, to forgive and see beyond what the eyes can tell, and appreciate how differences may complement the seeming perfection we are familiar and comfortable with.
Such as falling in love.

I’d like to thank “Rito Asilo” for posting a wonderful article on last Sunday’s edition of The “Daily Inquirer”(print and online versions). The article’s main topic was all about Sarah Geronimo’s latest album, “Taking Flight”, but on the last paragraph of the writeup, Rito made special mention of how I, in his own words, “reinvented my artistic persona”…
Rito, thank you for the writeup. Much appreciated!

This is good news for all eligible OTs. The exams are now coming to you. :)
The Certification Examination for OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST REGISTERED OTR® is now being offered overseas through Prometric Test Centers (PTCs). Any eligible candidate, who is a graduate of a U.S. or international education program, may use NBCOT’s online examination application system (or use the paper application form) to apply to take the certification examination at any PTC. The candidate’s Authorization to Test (ATT) Letter will provide instructions on scheduling an appointment to test. (See the 2007 Certification Examination Handbook for additional information).
This will be a very very long weekend. The damage so far: Perfect Stranger. The Bourne Supremacy. Fracture. New seasons of The Hills and Newport Harbor. Final season of The Simple Life. And two seasons of my new obsession, Kyle XY.
Yes, after all the hell that has happened to me the past few weeks, I need to detox. I need something wholesome - Kyle XY.
On another note, is it just me, or is high school not even remotely as exciting as what Laguna Beach and Newport Harbor portray?
Update: Also saw 300, Apocalypto, Shooter, and Vacancy.

This is the vacation alphabet:
V is for Vacating my office space for a few days. A is for Abdicate or relinquishing the daily grind. C is for Canceling or putting on-hold all calls, emails and blogging. A is for Absent, with pay of course. T is for The pasalubong, if there's any (how my friends wish it). I is for Intermission, will 4 days suffice? O is for Old photographs goodbye, welcome new photographs. N is for Navigation and searches, the leisurely kind.
I'm now excited to go back to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia this coming weekend. The country will celebrate its 50th Independence Day so activities abound throughout the country particularly in the capital city. I and my friend will be returning in that city with no concrete plans what to do or where to go which is my best kind of holiday. I will just let my feet do the walking and brain do the thinking on what to do and eat.
The World’s 3 Most Expensive Beers
There are different ways to measure it, and everyone has their own personal favorite, but it seems pretty clear that the official title of "world's most expensive beer" goes out to these 3 luxury brands of beer.
