Just Lost the Battle for Eternity

No one is spared, each of us has skeleton in our closet that we keep with utmost secrecy. Others really guard it for the life of them, for fear of a backlash from the judgmental public and the gossipy media.

But you have to give it to the rich when it comes to tightly guarding their family secrets - they are experts. They can’t afford to besmirch their reputation once the secret is out. Most of them carry their secrets to their grave.

Ever since Demure Lady DL and Rich Gentleman RG tied the knot, speculations were high on the real agenda of their marriage. RG is a scion of one of the country’s influential families while DL belongs to family of entrepreneurs that are well respected in their field. They ditched the rumors by living a quiet life while raising their own family.

Through the years, nothing much was heard from RG and DL, as they tried to keep a low-profile amidst their busy lives. Unlike their respective families who are often magnets for major issues, RG and DL’s low-key existence works best for them. In fact they are so low-key that no one from among their circle seems to have smelled when trouble was brewing in the couple’s household.

According to the grapevine, the relationship of husband and wife had been on the rocks for the longest time now. Whenever they attend socials, RG and DL project an image of coolness and normalcy, yet unbeknownst to their friends, everything is just for show.

Reportedly, the reason for the turnaround is RG’s certain vice that is affecting the marriage. Supposedly RG had been at it long before he met DL and only took a break when he started serious work and handled one of their business enterprises. Years after his marriage with DL, he was allegedly back to his dependence. As their friends would say - what a waste!

The very private DL is allegedly suffering in silence at how the once reserved RG’s been wasting himself. Although other family members are working to save RG from further destruction, it is still RG who should be in total control for the sake of his young family. People in the know say that it is totally undeserved.

Breaking News: Malaysian Airplane Ended in Southern Indian Ocean

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's full statement on the missing MH370 plane.

This evening I was briefed by representatives from the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB). They informed me that Inmarsat, the UK company that provided the satellite data which indicated the northern and southern corridors, has been performing further calculations on the data. Using a type of analysis never before used in an investigation of this sort, they have been able to shed more light on MH370’s flight path.

Based on their new analysis, Inmarsat and the AAIB have concluded that MH370 flew along the southern corridor, and that its last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth.

This is a remote location, far from any possible landing sites. It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean.

We will be holding a press conference tomorrow with further details. In the meantime, we wanted to inform you of this new development at the earliest opportunity. We share this information out of a commitment to openness and respect for the families, two principles which have guided this investigation.

Can She Ever Move On

Image couretsy of www.vimeo.com

For some people, the phrase 'moving on' after a break-up is easier said than done. It’s never easy when a significant relationship that was nurtured for years suddenly bids adieu. The intensity of feelings can be overwhelming especially if the person represents so many firsts in one's life. 

Whatever the reason for the split— whether it was mutual or not —the breakup can trigger all sorts of painful and unsettling feelings. But only if you are constantly reminded of a significant part of such past.

Reportedly, one of the reasons why Confused Actress CA has a difficult time forgetting her Past Relationship PR is because of the presence of PR's Relative RE in her life.

People privy to both CA and PR swear to have witnessed how close CA and RE had been when the couple was still together. Allegedly, CA and RE were not just close - they were very close. That's why when CA and PR parted ways years ago, more than the couple, it was reportedly RE who was having a hard time moving on.

Having shared so many fond memories together for years, RE understandably just can't just let go of CA. To this day, she and CA not only continue to exchange message and update each other - but much more.

At a dinner hosted by PR for his family, everyone came - his father, siblings, including PR's Current Love CL. But there was one family member who was noticeably absent. Defiant RE reportedly sent word that she could not join them due to prior commitments.

Yes, indeed, her prior commitment was equally important. RE went out to meet up with CA instead.

It is clear from her actions that RE doesn't want to fight her feelings. On the other hand, CA has some conflicting feelings - the ups and downs of her roller coaster emotions. From the looks of it, CA has yet to identify and acknowledge her feelings.

For RE on the othe hand, while her feelings may be that of denial, trying to suppress or ignore the truth will only prolong her agony.

Polish Bloggers React to Firestorm After Saying They'd Rather Go Hungry Than Eat Pinoy Food

Do you agree that Pinoy food is “packed with salt, sugar and oil”?

Sure you do.

We live on sisig, lechon, bagoong, menudo and adobong baboy floating in lard. We dig the umami saltiness of “magic powders” and the sodium overload of broth cubes. And we put sugar in our spaghetti.

‘Old and gross’

But let’s take that same phrase—“packed with salt, sugar and oil”—and attribute it to Polish food and travel bloggers Agness (Agnieszka Walewinder) and Cez (Cezary Król), who went to Banaue, Cebu, Bohol, Manila and perhaps Vigan to sample the local fare.

Let them say things like: “The fruits we bought at local markets daily looked and tasted old and gross” and “I had a massive migraine, mood swings and heartbum (sic) caused by spicy and oily pork” and “The biggest disappointment was not trying traditional Filipino dishes (because) we simply could not find them!”

Finally, let them title their blog entry, “I Would Rather Go Hungry Than Eat Filipino Street Food Again!”

Readymade firestorm

And voila! A readymade firestorm dreamed up in viral heaven, thanks to what the bloggers called their “honesty” and what many Pinoys thought was a gross insult to our culture (hashtag #PinprickedPinoyPride).

Uploaded on March 17, 2014 on eTramping.com, the post has generated 679 (moderated) comments (with more waiting in the wings), raised hackles on Facebook and had writer Agness defending herself on Twitter.

It didn't help either that the blog showed a black and white photo of Agness looking sickly and disheveled, with the caption, "My 'I'm starving but I don't want to eat this food' face".

7-11

Among many things, people took issue with her photo of a hotdog sandwich which she captioned: “We asked for ‘longganisa’ which is Filipino famous sausage and this is what we were served – American style hot dog.”

Based on the single-serve condiment packs seen in the photo, commenters deduced that the hotdog was bought at a 7-11.

Commented @wooribadboy: “Finding good food is a specific journey and not just go out there blindly and order it and declare this is the flavor of this country. If I went to your country and find the first convenience store and ask for something local, are you confident that it will represent the flavor you want a friend to experience?”

Traveling on $25 a day

On his Facebook page, activist and Manila tour guide Carlos Celdran called Agness a “silly ignorant traveler” while acknowledging that he felt “so sad to read this article.”

He said, “…at the end of the day, unless we do something about uplifting the masses, poverty will always be the defining force of Philippine cuisine. Period.”

In fact, Agness and Cez, who call themselves “adventurous tramps (and) best friends,” claim on their blog that wherever they go, they live on US$25 a day.

An American travel blogger jumps in the fray

Meanwhile, an American travel blogger who has lived in the Philippines for a year, has reacted to the ruckus, noting on his own post that Agness and Cez seemed “intentionally trying to antagonize Filipino people in order to bring attention to (their) blog.”

Nathan Allen noted that the bloggers earlier wrote about their "impressions" on the Philippines with a few negative comments about Filipino food.

"Then, perhaps you sat back and watched all the comments slowly start coming in. When you realized how sensitive and proud Filipinos can be about their food specifically, you decided to take advantage of the situation and write another inflammatory post all about the food," he opined.

What Polish bloggers told Yahoo SHE

Allen accused Agness and Cez of deliberately being "offensive" to generate even more comments.

"Yes, they're almost all negative (though you have done a good job hiding the people who are reallyspeaking their mind), but look at all that blog traffic!" Allen wrote.

Contacted to comment on the online fury their post caused, Cez told Yahoo SHE in a private message: “The article attracted much more attention than it should already, and we do not want to further escalate it. What we have written is true and resembles our personal opinions based on our own experiences. It's written solely about food, and our view is that people over-react and look for implied meanings where there's none.
