Can Not Break It Gently
Image courtesy of www.play.google.com
Through the years, the relationship withstood the test of time, though it required supreme sacrifices for PC. In today’s generation, such an arrangement is almost nil. It can only take a lot of commitment for the man to make it work – especially for the likes of PC. But as some observers would claim - miracles do happen. Sure it did, but not for long.
And before cynics could even begin to say their piece, PC and TS soon headed to splitsville.
Their fans/followers did not see it coming, of course. But after the break-up sank in in the everyone’s consciousness, PC and allies were quick to the draw denying the existence of a 3rd party. But not long after, photos of PC with alleged Third Party TP in their many out-of-town sightings together soon became hot copies.
After all was said, seen and done, the rumor allegedly became the irreversible truth – that PC and TP are indeed a couple. Talks have it that PC’s weakness found solace in TP’s gullibility and adventurism. Their friendship soon developed into something else. Before long, everything just came into play.
Reportedly, TP’s wild side became the unwitting solution to PC’s yearning. Every chance they got, her antics during those private moments with PC blew his mind away - in great, lustful proportions. Times like this happening so often took its toll on TS and PC’s relationship. Certainly, one cannot love two people at the same time, with same intensity, for the same reason.
In this case, earthly desires overpowered whatever sound reason there was.
"Is there anything better than to be longing for something, when you know it is within reach? " ~ Greta Garbo

According to the event’s official website, the awards, which is one of the highlights at The Baby & Family Expo 2013, is meant to honor celebrity kids, parents and families who have been a “great inspiration and role model to Filipino families.”
Dizon, “Eat Bulaga” Little Miss Philippines for 2012, and Yap, the son of popular TV host Kris Aquino, are paired in the Metro Manila Film Festival 2013 offering “Torky And My Little Bossing.” The young rising stars garnered the honor through online public voting via the event’s official site.

Meanwhile, Regine Tolentino and Lander Vera-Perez are to be honored as “Golden Couple of the Year.”
Aside from honoring these celebrities, of course, the event will also celebrate non-showbiz individuals as “ParentPreneurs.”
The event website explained that ParentPreneurs are the modern day moms and dads who have successfully “balanced parenthood and their role as an entrepreneur” through “hard work and dedication.”
The event in itself, which carries the theme “Welcoming Life, Love and Care,” celebrates the “gift of life and family” by “fostering an intimate environment encouraging bonding and unity through community discussions, shopping opportunities and fun activities.”

We Need Your Old Bikes
If you have old but functioning bikes, or bikes that need minor repair, please, please donate them to us. To start their rehabilitation, we would like to equip the Leytenos with bikes as public transport is still unavailable to most. They need it to get relief goods from city centers or command posts (most who live in the most interior parts of the city or far barrios are not able to get because of inaccessibility); they need bikes to get to work or get food; they need it to deliver news (there is no network signal outside of Tacloban), whether to report illness or danger or relatives looking for them. Imagine walking 18 kilometers just to get to Tacloban City! Please, please help us help them. We can pick up your bikes or you can send them to the addresses shown in the poster. Thank you! PLEASE SHARE. (www.facebook.com/waraybayaay)

Causing A Disappointment
Image courtesy of www.1skintagremoval.com
Resurrected Talent (RT) made a few ripples sometime ago when her management hinted on a bit of discontent with her current network. People were thinking RT was about to join the exodus of talents that the network was experiencing. However, the news died down when RT renewed her contract with the same network. Still, her projects were so minimal that her presence was only felt in hosting chores and a few appearances. It’s not as if she lacked big projects prior to her renewing her contract. She had solo projects on primetime, but they did not quite hit the ratings until the last one.
After a few years of waiting, RT scored big in her last project. Her character became the focal point of her teleserye, and soon RT was enjoying renewed fame and recognition. Thus, with recognition comes the usual requests for photo-ops in public regardless of what RT might be doing. Sometime ago, RT was seen shopping at a store at a high-end mall east of Manila. A fan politely approached the assistant of RT and asked if they could have a photo with her. RT replied to give her a few minutes. RT said this response to her assistant while the fan was standing in front of them. The fan waited…waited…and waited. Then, after RT paid for her stuff, she just walked away without any acknowledgment of the waiting fan.
While the fan understood that RT might be doing her private activity, RT could have just refused the request for a photo and not have had the fan wait for them. It’s too bad if RT will continue behaving distantly from her fans. Perhaps, RT should be reminded that her last project hit because the middle and upper class strata stayed glued on that teleserye. These same people shop in places where RT might think she would have anonymity. Is this coyness or arrogance on the part of RT?

Sen. Bong Revilla: PDAF Could Have Helped Disaster Victims

Revilla distributed relief goods in Ormoc City.
Marcos, meanwhile, flew into Ormoc after distributing relief goods in Tacloban.
Both senators are embroiled in the pork barrel scam, with whistleblowers claiming that senators had given money to bogus non-government organizations led by businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles.
Revilla regrets the Supreme Court (SC) decision declaring the pork barrel unconstitutional. He said more people in disaster situations could be assisted had the Priority Development Assistance Funds (PDAF) been on hand.
"Well kung meron tayong PDAF, mas marami sana tayong matutulungan sa mga naapektuhan ng bagyo. Maidadagdag yan sa calamity fund, sa mga healthcare, maraming matutulungan,” he said.
Revilla would rather not comment on criticisms against the administration's handling of the typhoon aftermath, saying this is not the time for political bickering.
"Ito yung panahon ngayon ng bayanihan, pagtutulungan, dapat i-set aside ang pulitika, alitan. Ang mahalaga ngayon, tayo ay magtulungan para sa bayan, gamutin ang sugat ng puso ng mamamayan. Hindi tayo dapat magturuan. Tumulong na lamang. Walang oposisyon, walang administrasyon ngayon. Ang galaw ng bawat isa'y mahalaga, at yan ang kailangan ng ating mga kababayan,” he said.
PDAF not enough
Marcos said it was a relief that the SC finally decided on the fate of the pork barrel, saying the cloud of doubt it had raised over the senators was making it difficult for them to function.
However, he raised the possibility of utilizing the 2014 pork barrel as calamity funds, since the budget allocation had already been set long before the SC decision.
"Mas mabuti na nga yan, para wala nang gulo-gulo. Mahirap din para sa aming mga public official, pag pinagsususpetsahan ka ng tao, talagang mahirap gawin ang trabaho,” he said.
With the scale of the damage, Marcos still doubts that even the amount would be enough to repair the affected regions.
“Sa dami ng napinsala, kahit makuha lahat ng PDAF at gagamitin sa calamity fund, baka kukulangin pa. Isa pa yon. Kailangan natin talagang makipag-ugnayan sa ating pamahalaan para tanungin kung ano talaga yung kaya nilang gawin para sa reconstruction."

Agree or Disagree: Selfie is the Word of the Year

So, grab a smartphone, put on your best duck face and celebrate.Oxford Dictionaries' word for the year for 2013 is "selfie."
And when you share that filtered photo on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, you'll join not just Anthony Weiner and Geraldo, but millions of others around the world perpetuating a tradition started over a decade ago, Oxford says.
The word "selfie" first popped up in an Australian chat room on September 13, 2002, to describe an undignified scene, the dictionaries' publishers believe.
This was the post: "Um, drunk at a mates 21st, I tripped ofer and landed lip first (with front teeth coming a very close second) on a set of steps. I had a hole about 1cm long right through my bottom lip. And sorry about the focus, it was a selfie."
Yes, the first-ever known mention of the word "selfie" stemmed from an inebriated mouth with teeth protruding through its bottom lip.
Given those circumstances, Oxford may not much care how you spell it.
You could go with "ie" or "y," as in "selfy."
Oxford says that doesn't change the official definition:
"A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website."
Complete unknown
For years after its birth, "selfie" crept through the web largely unnoticed.
But in 2012, the word of the year began its ascent to digital fame, Oxford says.
Suddenly, everybody around the world was using the word, as they self-snapped away.
By August this year, Oxford proclaimed it a real English-language word and gave it a place in the dictionary -- but that was merely a stepping stone to lingual infamy.
"Language research conducted by Oxford Dictionaries editors reveals that the frequency of the word selfie in the English language has increased by 17,000% since this time last year," Oxford wrote in justifying its choice.
"Selfie" beat out seven competitors, including "twerk," "schmeat" (synthetically produced meat) and "bitcoin" for the Word of the Year crown.
"Selfie" is not slouching on its thrown, Oxford says of its word of the year.
It has spawned herds of images on social media. There are 57 million photos bearing its hashtag -- #selfie -- on Instagram alone.
There is even a user account called "selfie." And, yes, it contains nothing but selfies.
"Selfie" has also been busy pumping out offspring in its namesake.
It has given birth to "helfie" -- a photo of one's own hair; "belfie" -- a snapshot of one's own backside; and "welfie" -- a selfie taken while working out, aka the most annoying kind.
There's also the "drelfie" -- a photo of yourself when you're drunk.
Fitting, since a drelfie in Australia was the first "selfie" that ever bore the name.
