Every year, several people end up incurring the ire of what seems to be all the Filipinos in the world. There was Christopher Lao in 2011, known for driving his car into a flooded area and laying the blame on everyone else; Tracy Borres in 2009, for her highly disdainful and bratty Facebook notes detailing [...]

Spotted this bit of nonsense in a newspaper earlier. The baby is only three months old. Should he be manifesting musicality or signs that he has a good ear for music already? Should be crying in a musical way? If the kid was two or three years old, sure, ask his parents if he’s showing [...]

Jinkee Pacquiao was never an unattractive woman. I’m even going to say she’s pretty, albeit not in that OMG-she’s-a-glittering-paragon-of-beauty kind of way. She’s not hard to look at at all, and she’s always had that moderately mestiza look going for her, something that a lot of people here tend to fawn over. As her husband [...]

I was browsing the Cherry Mobile site earlier to see if their phones are looking any better these days, and I have to say I was impressed with what I saw. It might still be a while before I consider getting any one of their phones, although the R7 certainly looks mighty tempting. A few [...]

That’s Philippine media, or the unfortunate state of media in general nowadays. Now I do not like Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo at all, but I especially dislike how reporters like turning to Joseph Estrada and asking him what he thinks of what’s happening to Arroyo. The man does not disappoint, often seemingly gloating about the fate that [...]

My mother was a dedicated viewer of 100 Days to Heaven on ABS-CBN. I found the show all right and Xyriel Manabat tolerable, unlike many child stars who are too aware of their cuteness and precociousness, and thus turn up these qualities even further. The show itself wasn’t too bad, but I was really rather [...]

The media already does a fine job trying to demolish people’s self-esteem, and it seems like the speed of technological changes these days has created a new niche in which people can tuck themselves away and batter themselves for not having the latest gadget. In this stupid ad by Best Buy, a woman is sitting [...]

Perhaps I just don’t know many guys, but as far as I can tell guys either don’t like seeing a boatload of makeup on girls’ faces or they can’t really tell the difference. That’s why I find this article particularly laughable, especially the last tip, “Beauty trick: Be your naturally gorge self.” After all the [...]

I had no idea that the statement made by the new Tourism chief, Ramon Jimenez, could even be misinterpreted and hotly debated. One line he said basically made it to the headlines right away, when he said that the Philippines should be easy to sell as Chicken Joy. People are actually nitpicking the meaning of [...]

This calls for a disbelieving gape and a “What the actual fuck?” Express yourself with new KOTEX® LUXE* Ultrathin Design pads, the first pad with attractive color designs to reflect your personal sense of style. Oh my, yes, sanitary napkins with colorful designs! I knew there was something missing from my usual pad, and some [...]
