Beware of Nursing Friendster Profiles

Posted by Batang Yagit on Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008 @ 8:23 pm in Personal - Philippines.

Beware of friendster profiles owned by nursing students. They might contain things you don't want to see.

I was browsing friendster yesterday when I was faced with a lurid sight. I was eating my lunch while waiting for my browser to load the page. I was shocked to see a gory picture of a blood-covered wounded hand. It's a very unpleasant thing to see especially when you are enjoying your lunch.

Why do some people love to post these kind of savage photos in a place where people expect to see nice things?

My suggestion, the next time you open your friend's friendster profile, beware of the horrendous things to see.

The recently concluded Sinulog celebration is a nine-day annual fiesta in Cebu City in honor of Sto. Nino. Although there are other versions of Sinulog in other parts of Visayas and Mindanao as it is like a generic term for the Sto. Nino festivities, the Cebu City version is the most famous among them. The celebration entails two major activities: the religious procession on a Saturday and the grand street parade the following day. Sinulog has always been fast-paced. Dancers bounce and step more often then they sway.

And here's the official Sinulog soundtrack:
