Traffic Hazard: Jake Cuenca

Jake Cuenca's Bench billboards along EDSA or even in Rotonda are really hazardous to female and female-hearted male motorists alike. For my opinion, it would really insinuate a lot of traffic on the said roads, hence it's advisable if motorists just re-route and leave the said roads to be blocked by the aforementioned people. *insert grin here* It's not always that you can see a luscious body of a sassy young male wearing skimpy undergarments being exposed for you to salivate, right? *insert high pitched laugh here*

But does the said billboard matter? Of course it does! As a country "living in billboard hell", as Sen. Santiago once said, it does promote advertiser's products to the consumers even at the extent of selling sex as a commodity and much worse even causing eye strain and traffic to viewers looking at it; it really does matter. Imagine seeing Jake Cuenca wearing those skimpy undergarments, a lot of fans of the said actor would and definitely would buy the same type of products being endorsed.by him, even if the said viewer of the billboard is a female.

Anyway, what's the main reason why I'm blogging this about? My simple answer, I've seen the said billboard both at North Edsa, and another one near Guadalupe or Makati, and I can't help but stare at it. Just imagine if most motorist would stop by and stare at the said billboards, it would cause commotion and traffic that would entail a lot of distress to our poor traffic enforcers. More over I just don't see the point why advertisers makes huge billboards with sex as its theme background on it! Does sex themed things really produces a lot of money? (Edit: Just pondering over; how can you even sell undergarments without using it as a theme? Lol)

No offense to Jake Cuenca, but having that luscious and yummy body to die for being exposed on a billboard really causes a lot of eye strain.

Monet's Le Pont d'Argenteuil: Damaged

Honestly speaking, I had never seen a work of art most revered by the world with my own eyes, so close as to even touching it. That's is why I'm so heart-fallen when I had read from BBC News that one of the paintings of Claude Monet, a renowned painter of the Le Pont d'Argenteuil, had been damaged at the museum it had been placed under custody with.

It's such a shame that instead of looking at the paintings with admiration and fascination, five unknown people who had broke in the Musee d'Orsay gallery had managed to put a four (4) inch hole on the said painting. How in the world could the possible destroy a cultural artifact that was known not just in France, but in the whole world? I'm so saddened by the fact that I haven't even seen a real Monet painting, and then now I would read that It's now damaged! Those people were blessed to see such a work of art but why vandalize it?

Manny Pacquiao Won

The much awaited second fight of Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Barrera has finally ended, and for the second time it's still Manny Pacquiao who had won! So what will happen to Marco Antonio Barrera after he had eaten what he had said in the pre-fight? According to the GMA 7 news, he might be forced to retire due to his failure to win for the second time against Pacquiao, more so due to his consecutive loses against other boxers. Ain't I hearing the same escape goat of an alibi again? As I recalled promptly and correctly, Erik Morales also had said the same thing when he lost to Manny Pacquiao before.

Anyway, the Filipino's Boxing Champ won in a unanimous decision from the 12 round fight, and the score cards were as follows:

Judge Tom Schreck scored it 115-112 for Pacquiao, while Jerry Roth and Glenn Trowbridge both favoured Pacquiao 118-109. The Associated Press also gave it to Pacquiao, 116-111.
(Chronicle journal)

Isn't that what boxing analyst had viewed prior to the fight, that Manny Pacquiao had the upper hand against his opponent? True to what they'd all been blabber about, it does end up the same as what they had expected, but the turning point of the fight was not about who had won, but instead who was the one who had shown the will to win. Both players had remained standing up to the very last round, which is of course very unexpected since both refused to be knocked-out, and this is, I think the best part of it.

But the question still remains the same anyway, am I going to be proud for him? Well, part of me wanted to go and rejoice since another Filipino had made a name in the field of sports, but at the end of the day, it's still just Manny Pacquiao achievement, and not the rest of the community.

P.S. Don't get me wrong, but this is what I'm feeling right now. I'm feeling kind of indifferent.

Gifts for him this season

Father's or even teenage guys really loves to play around with their stuffs, baseball gloves here, bats there, and a lot of things that usually ends up cluttering the place. Not all the time these guys would pick up their stuffs and place it a box in an organize manner. Most of the time it would be the mother who would tend to pick up the cluttered pieces of things and arrange them accordingly.

What if you make a time to pick up a cabinet, a storage, or a work bench and give it to them as gifts for him in this coming season? Isn't that a nice idea? You can ask them to organize their things properly in their new cabinet, storage, or work bench hence minimizing your workload as a mother to pick up, stock in a box and organize things either your son, or husband had left scattering on the floor.

Having those beautifully crafted cabinets and storages in your homes helps makes a nice ambiance, since your homes or even your garage wouldn't tend to appear like a total mess with a lot of piled metals, bolts, nuts, simple machines, and spare tires, since their properly organized and stored in a cabinet made of aluminum steel.

can moths be really messenger from the dead?

Last time I had included in my post something about a moth as a messenger from the dead. Though again, I reiterate that the said notion doesn't have validity nor sources to back it up, since it's purely a Philippine folklore superstition passed on from word of mouth, I find it really weird since just two days ago another moth just flew inside the house.


The moth that flew inside the house was same as the picture above. I really don't know much about the said superstition but so far as I recalled it from past experiences, my mother used to tell me that somebody might be missing someone in the house, or that somebody might want to be remembered by someone that's why the moth had flew in.

However, I'm pondering whether it has some connection with people nearly or almost near in his or her death bed, just like the cat in the hospital as what Rich had written in her blog. Since, prior to the moth's appearance in our house, our family had already received a dreaded message stating that a relative had been hospitalized and in his critical stage, and when it (the moth) flew inside the house and stayed there for almost two days another message was received stating that one of my grandfathers, from my father's side had passed away already already, and just the same time I had found that the moth that had arrived in the house was also dead.

Quite shocking though, that the said message woke us up early in the morning. However, is it really coincidence that the moth's existence in our house suggests that somebody had been wished to be remembered before his or her death?

Or maybe just maybe buy me a new phone and also use a cellphone shop coupon for that.

teri hatcher's derogatory remark

Transcript: “Okay, before we go any further, can I check those diplomas? Cause I would just like to make sure they are not from some med school in the Philippines.”

Uhm... like what is this? Is this an acceptable desperate housewives script aired over the US and a few select countries airing the said show? Is there such a moderating body in the US that check every DISCRIMINATORY remarks made by the said show?

I think there isn't, because you all know what? It reached the news of the country that the said show discriminates! How dare the producers and writers of that show to include that demeaning and derogatory line Teri Hatcher had said? Are they too stupid enough to not even think that most of their health care workers are Filipinos! First and foremost can they present valid evidence that Filipino Medical Doctors are way too incompetent as compared to their doctors?

The Philippines may be a third world country that faces a lot of global issues, but how dare them (the script writers) think that they're far too superior than the rest of the world combined! Not all the time, a first world country produces the best of the crop, sometimes even third world countries does and it's far better!

Do you have like a messy garage or something similar to that?

Then diamond plate cabinets from CarGuyGarage.com is here to help you out on your garage problems. The said diamond plate cabinets are extremely exquisite when it comes to its designs, and definitely a must have in either your home or office!

Though most people and garage owners would prefer wooden cabinets in their garage since it may "sometimes" last long and doesn't rust out, diamond plate cabinets might change your point of view on having a metal cabinet that fit perfectly onto your garage.

More so metal cabinets can endure heavy weights that cannot be placed on wooden ones. However, it should be noted that, the said cabinets also entails some very high price tags ranging from almost a hundred dollars to even a thousand dollars.

slipping moment

BLAG!

It's the only thing that I heard after I slipped directly to the floor, and now...

OUCH!

It hurts! It really hurts. I do hope nothing is fractured or damaged within my right arm, specifically my elbow, because I think it endured most of my weight as I slipped directly into the shiny floor.

Lesson learned: Never walk on shiny floors with damp feet, and better wear rubber slippers. Hay, why did I forget to wear my slippers at night while traversing the living room going directly to the scary spot the washroom, toilet or comfort room, whatever it is called!

opportunity missed again!

Why do I find it hard to grab the opportunities being posted for Tuesday in the affiliate program that I belong to? Even if I tried my best to fearlessly be online for almost the entire day I always finds most of them taken and reserved by other members. Does that mean that better luck next time again?

Gosh... next week will be another week and another set of opportunities will be held up for grabs, and I hope that maybe I will be lucky enough to be one of the few who will have the said opportunity! I really needed to try my best from now on...

shoe sole damaged by cockroach!

I don't know if you're going to believe it or not, but the soles of my shoes, instead of the usual being worn out due to excessive friction to the ground, was eaten by hungry little creatures called cockroach! I never thought that cockroaches could eat synthetic rubber, but I know they feed most of the time in the crayons lying somewhere in the ground if it was left there by my beloved young brother. Since, once I pick them up after a day or so of finding the said crayons there were like little bites somewhere in the exposed parts of it. But to synthetic rubber used as soles of the shoes? It's really unbelievable.

Just imagine how shocked I was when I had already worn the shoes and was briskly walking inside the house to gather most of the things I needed when all of a sudden the right sole of the shoes was left lying in the spot I had walked on! What's really weird was that the damage cannot be seen from the outside of the soles, but instead from the inside.

Yes, I know we do have a lot of cockroaches coming from the outside of the house. Even if you cleaned the house fervently and used a lot of insecticides that really doesn't seem to kill foreign, neighborhood cockroaches, that scampers away exiting the house, they just keeps on coming back. So now, the collateral damage it brought - just eaten out the soles of my shoes. Wait till you see the damage it caused to it even if I really took care of it properly!

Now I'm thinking of buying another pair because the shoes are really unwearable, and I'm guessing that even Mr. Quickie has no option yet on how it will fix the said soles instead it might just say that I need to buy a new one.
