A gay male friend of mine sent this to me, just in time for V-Day. It's from a Philippine game show, where one of the contestants outed himself and his significant other on national television. The Philippines is a conservative, mostly Catholic country, and to see something as politically incorrect as this on TV is huge. Who says only heteros are capable of a truly loving and nurturing relationship?
I actually used to like Pops Fernandez, the Philippines' Concert Queen (although her singing voice isn't really all that). She is articulate and something of a fashion icon. See how natural and beautiful she is in the first photo? (which I nicked from this blog) My sister Cecile sent me the after photo. Apparently, Angelina Jolie lips are all the rage in the Philippine Islands.
Haneh, just because it's a fad doesn't mean it's for everyone.
I was looking up side effects of my anti-seizure meds, and look what I found: Keppra rage! I wonder if this is the reason why I'm easily annoyed or irritated by some conversations and certain people. Unless they're just REALLY REALLY ANNOYING! Plus, I'm always dreaming about screaming at my father or the MalTitas. Last night I dreamt I flew off the handle when I gave my younger niece clothes to wear, and she didn't like them. Said apparel disappeared, and I was attacking her for that.
Does this mean I can blame the drug for any of my malfunction?
- Why can't a spelunker be someone who's a bad speller? It would make things so much easier.
- Regis Philbin mistakenly said stA-Rods today instead of steroids when talking about Alex Rodriguez's admission of doping. It works though.
- President Obama won his fight to keep his Barack-berry.
- My friend Pinky is a Murney-ac.
- 60 Minutes brought together the crew of US Airways Flight 1549 and some passengers and their families. One guy had a T-shirt that said "Sully is my co-pilot".

Elephant seals are named after you. Meet Stelephant Colbert. There's also a smaller male named Jon Sealwart. The seals even have their own Facebook pages.
Stephen Colbert called his namesake "a hideous monster" at last night's telecast.
What a winter! Even the manatees are cold! Here they are pictured huddling together for warmth in Florida's Blue Springs State Park.
I almost fell off my seat when I heard President Obama say "I screwed up." regarding Tom Daschle's nomination for secretary of health and human services. When has a president, much less a US President, ever owned up to making a mistake, especially while still in office?
He has run into many problems with his Cabinet nominees and naysayers like to say that this only shows his inexperience. Let's give the man a break. I hope he keeps trying to change Washington. So far, all his actions as chief shows that he is an honorable man who's trying to do the right thing.
I heart this man more and more.
I wish I was somewhere else right now. Darn this recession. And the long cold snowy icy winter.
The Czech Republic was a completely different travel experience, but thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless.
My goal is to walk on every continent.
Don't ask me where I want to go for my birthday dinner/celebration for my recovery if you don't really want me to decide. I already told you I'd rather have lunch (instead of dinner because lately I've been going to bed at 10:30 PM) at some simple restaurant. I am not a food snob. I'd be perfectly happy having a meal in Chinatown. And yet you insist on having dinner at some fancy schmancy place. What's the point of asking for my input if you're going to pooh-pooh it anyway?
Maybe you guys go and I stay home. I celebrate life everyday anyway.
