Has been quite some time since my last movie out. I've always wanted to see The Bucket List too. Is the film really good? There are some Jack Nicholson movies that I skipped because reviews weren't really great. I'd make The Bucket List an exception BUT hey, if some of you would say it's not worth the time. I'd skip this one too.
Jumping to a related topic I've asked a few of my friends about what's on their bucket list. Some came back with hilarious answers like the following:
Die my hair red - ...
The headline above has proven to be true in the case of biofuels which only recently were hailed as the solution to global warming and the key to the planet’s survival.
Now, the mad rush to produce biofuels is being blamed for the worldwide food crisis.
Various nations have already spent billions of dollars in their bid to develop sugar- and grain-based ethanol and biodiesel to replace carbon-belching fossil fuels, the overwhelming source of man-made global warming.
But in their effort to mass-produce such biofuels, the nations of the world have taken away food crops ...
How could it still happen? How could people let it happen?
The recent news from Texas about hundreds of girls locked up in a compound where they were raped and kept as slaves by much older men belonging to a polygamist sect was indeed mind-blowing.
It’s good one of the girls finally had the courage to speak the unspeakable and reported the matter to the authorities who then raided the compound of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in San Angelo, Texas.
US authorities rescued more than 400 children, most of them girls, from the clutches of ...
Why her? Of all people, why her?
This question appears to be the one in the mind of many Filipinos and other democracy advocates worldwide after it was reported that revered democracy icon former Philippine president Corazon “Cory” Aquino is suffering from colon cancer.
Cory is acknowledged as the woman who led in the restoration of democracy in the Philippines through a People Power Revolt in 1986 after long years of dictatorship under Ferdinand Marcos.
That People Power Revolt, in turn, created a global firestorm of reforms that eventually led to the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the reunification ...
Is he truly the world super-featherweight boxing champion?
Many doubts have been raised against the split-decision victory by Filipino boxing hero Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao against Mexican champion Juan Manuel Marquez in their second bout last March 15 in Las Vegas.
What’s surprising is that the doubts have come not only from Marquez’s camp, which is understandable, but from some supposed Filipino boxing analysts, who should now better.
Arriving home to a hero’s welcome in Manila on Monday, March 24, 2008, Pacquiao blasted Filipino boxing analysts who raised doubts on his victory against Marquez.
“I feel saddened ...
I've always dreamt of experiencing the perfect sunset. I think all my life, I've never really met one, sad to say. Not really sure if one exists, but I'm still in the lookout for that perfect one.
I tried searching on google's, yahoo's, flickr's, photobucket's and whathaveyou's to find someone else's perfect one. I seem to have found a few that excited my emotions, some tingled my fancy of having a coconut with a straw and me sipping it oh so dramatically, some just awed me at how perfect it was that at that time, an old ...
In greener pastures abroad, Filipino workers turn ‘milking cows’
Feb 02 2008
Posted by Jay as Editorials
The “modern heroes” of the Philippines are being stabbed in the back – by their own government.
These legitimate heroes are of course the millions of overseas Filipino workers, the OFWs around the world who labor far away from their families and under difficult conditions in alien lands to be able to live decent lives which their government could not afford to give them.
Already reeling from the sharp cut in their purchasing power with the continuing appreciation of the Philippine peso, the OFWs recently woke up to find another dagger embedded on their collective back – courtesy of their ...
What insult will these sissies say next?
Are the American TV networks going nuts or what? Do they think their shows would rate higher by bashing other people’s heads?
Civilization for these Americans has indeed taken a gigantic leap backward into prehistoric times.
Who, if not a boorish Neanderthal, would utter such a despicable word against Cory? For the information of these Neanderthals, Cory Aquino is a revered icon in the Philippines known for her clean living and religiosity. ...
Former president Joseph Estrada leaves the Sandiganbayan anti-graft court in Quezon City shortly after the court handed down its guilty verdict against him.
There was no massive outpouring of anger against the government of President Gloria Arroyo as only about 300 supporters of the deposed president trooped to the street outside the special anti-graft court which earlier sentenced Estrada to a maximum of 40 years in jail for the crime of plunder.
The muted reaction was in contrast to ...

Water me please
This is wise living.
I keep picturing this scene from Music and Lyrics where Hugh Grant (playing an 80’s singer Alex Fletcher) hires Drew Barimore (as Sophie Fisher, who plays as plant caretaker) to water his apartment plants. Obviously, Alex doesn’t care less what time his plants are fed and just keeps it for the “girls” so […] -

The devil made Miley do it
If you’re wondering why sexual perversions are happening left and right, front and back and every which way in the world today, why we have such a hideous sexual predator as Austria’s Josef Fritzl, one of the clues is staring at you right now.
Well, it’s not Miley Cyrus’ fault. Definitely not. This 15-year Disney megastar […] -

A Humble City
Hoi An is like setting foot inside one of those old Chinese movies. The elements are all there. From the low-tiled roofs to the narrow streets, Hoi An is a picture perfect replica of what ancient Vietnam used to be. The small city is located in the South Central Coast of Vietnam. In the 16th […]

You can try this: Print a copy of the Yahoo news page linked in this blog. Now, go to the mall, shop till you drop, and then go to the cashier. Tell the cashier, “You take my breath away with your beauty.” As […]From the Editor
