Random Pet-Peeves
September 26, 20071. Comparison - I hate it when I'm compared with other persons, that others are more talented, successful, 'more' blah blah!
2. Cheating - in a game or love or work or money. period!
3. My fave bands turned mainstream. Why does it have to be like that?!
4. People watching blockbuster flicks in theaters but seem to pay no attention. I have lots of experience. They just talk about the effects and shout their reactions. Do they really understand the movie?
5. Jeepneys waiting for passengers in every block, every corner and we call them 'paugat!' One reason: I'm not patient and I'm not the only one here on earth.
6. 'Kulit' salesladies following you to every corner of the store and ask what you want or what you're looking for.
7. People who tells me what to do! It annoys me!
8. Radio stations playing the same songs again and again and again…
9. People who always see the bad in others. They are the ones who say, 'you look old with your hair', you gained weight, so on and so forth.
10. Girls who act sosyal, sooo friendly and think they can make all men love them. Get lost!
11. People who takes advantage of others.
One situation in my life: an ex-boss (he's an engineer) always said we should be happy of what the company did for us, e.g. paid us 'good' salaries, gave us work; and he uses 'God' always. Because God gave all of this. Yes, I believe in God and trust Him. But God doesn't say that every individual should take advantage of other's talents, abilities and not give them what they deserve. So stop using God's name if you don't even see God in others. Learn what is Just!
*That's all the things I can remember which pisses me off or annoys me or irritates me. 
Pinays’ Rule No.1: Show Off Your Color!
So why should we be shy if we're morena? And why should we splurge on skin bleaching?
We want to be fairer but most foreigners like our skin complexion. I even admire models with copper-colored or
bronze-colored skin than 'tisay' ones. I understand others find it hard to choose which colors suits them and afraid to
wear clothes of loud colors. Others were teased as what?! Well, fair-skinned women mostly has freckles.
I was happy when I first saw Dove's ad for their 'true colors' campaign. The campaign was to help women from around the world to boost their self-esteem and be proud of who they are. So show off your color!
my friend Jasmin who experiments on clothes
my officemate Kristine who says 'no to papaya soaps'
*they're second to Angel Aquino who flaunts her true Filipina color.

My Fave Filipino Architect
September 20, 2007Francisco 'Bobby' Mañosa is one of the Filipino architects that, I say and everybody will agree, made a mark in Philippine architecture. Second to Leandro Locsin, he designed lots of buildings and structures that we should be proud of. I even like his concept in designing - very Filipino.
This is the Pearl Farm Resort in Davao. It has the tribal ethnic characteristics of the Maranao and Samal. This incorporated crafts of Mindanao.
The Amanpulo Resort in Palawan. It has a native village-like concept.
This is one GREAT design. I'm glad I've been to Coconut Palace and check the whole design plus the interiors of this structure. This was built during Pres. Marcos' time. The concept of this is the salakot. Most of the materials used is the coconut. You should see this place and appreciate how great our own architecture is.
Ali Larter and the Rest of the Heroes Cast
Upon reading the Cosmopolitan (US) website, their cover model for this month is Ali Larter. And the magazine said that she is one of Hollywood’s most buzz-worthy stars. Yes, you've seen her in a number of good film and that includes Legally Blond.
She portrays her character in Heroes very well. In fact, she is Emmy Awards nominee for she she brilliantly plays good-and-evil dual personalities Niki and Jessica Sanders. And we can also see her on the upcoming sci-fi flick Resident Evil: Extinction.
Speaking of the TV series Heroes, we'll have to wait for four more days for Season 2. Yeeey!!!! 
I want to see Peter Petrelli and Hiro Nakamura again, my fave characters. Don't want to check for spoilers but probably there will be twists and there will be more gifted people to come out.
