Mainit na usapin na sa Internet ang isinulat ni Shari tungkol sa linya ng karakter na ginagampanan ni Teri Hatcher sa palabas sa TV sa Amerika na pinamagatang Desperate Housewives.
Habang kausap ang kanyang doktor, sinabi ng babae ang ganito:
Okay, before we go any further, can I check those
diplomas? Coz I would just like to make sure they are not from some med
school in the Philippines.
Medyo napikon ako. Para kasing pinapalabas ng mga sumulat na walang
kuwenta ang mga paaralang pangmedisina sa Pilipinas. Sa pagkakaintindi
ko, ang “some med school in the Philippines” ay tumutukoy hindi sa
ilang paaralan, kundi sa alinmang paaralang pangmedisina sa Pilipinas.

Take part in this action for a Free Burma!
http://www.free-burma.org/

International bloggers are preparing an action to support the
peaceful revolution in Burma. We want to set a sign for freedom and
show our sympathy for these people who are fighting their cruel regime
without weapons.
We will refrain from posting on our blogs on October 4 and just put up one banner with the words “Free Burma!” below it.

Gusto ko sanang manood ng press launch ng Zaido kanina.
Kaya lang, nung tumambay na ako sa labas ng studio pagkatapos ng trabaho, medyo
nailang ako dahil ayokong magmukhang engot na nakatunganga roon. Kaya sa halip
na manatili para maghintay na dumating ang mga naka-costume na artista, umuwi na
lamang ako.
Pero bakit big deal at kailangan pang i-blog?
Unawaing isa akong Shaider fan na noong
bata pa’y nakikipangapit-bahay para lamang mapanood ang pakikipaglaban ni
Shaider at masilip ang panty ni Annie. Nalungkot ako nang mabalitaan ang pagpanaw ni Hiroshi
Tsuburaya, ang gumanap na Shaider, at nang malamang ngayo’y di lang panty
ang ipinapakita ni Noemi Morinaga, ang gumanap na Annie.

Napadpad ako sa Tingog.com, naintindihan ko ang twit ni Noemi, bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko at medyo nanikip ang dibdib ko.
Ikinukuwento ng pasosyal na kolumnista ng Manila Standard Today ang
kanyang bakasyon sa Boracay at sa Greece at kung paanong nakasalamuha
niya sa pamilihan at sa eroplano ang mga manggagawang Pinoy sa ibayong
dagat. Narito ang ilang bahagi ng article:

Here’s a photo of my newly acquired Palm Treo 650. A second-hand
unit, I got it for only P9,500 last July 21 in one of the stalls in
Greenhills.
For those who are not familiar with Palm products, the Palm Treo 650
is a cellphone, personal digital assistant, portable MP3 and video
player, digital camera, ebook reader and “game and watch” in one.
You could also use it to write and edit documents, send and receive e-mail and browse the Web. It has a full QWERTY keyboard (parang sa computer), speakerphone, infrared and bluetooth (but no WIFI).
Here are more information that could probably convince you to swap your cellphone that keeps on freezing (Ano ba yan, nag-hang na naman?) with a Palm Treo:

GMANews.tv — Can a small-town boy stop the abuse of big-time funds?
Driven by a monster typhoon’s destruction of his native Marinduque’s coconut lands, a local boy now working for a major TV network wages a lonely battle for justice.
GMA researcher Ederic Eder’s mother died at sea while delivering his tuition money so he could enroll at UP. That money came from the sweat of his coconut-farming family.
Now a UP-educated professional, he has been researching for years the fate of coconut levy funds that his family paid to the government. Millions of farmers paid the same levy, which was allegedly stolen and used by Marcos cronies to buy companies, including nearly half of the shares in San Miguel Corporation. Read more.
Bad
trip ang mga texters sa Globe Telecommunications dahil sa pagbabago
nila sa Unlimitxt promo para raw mabigyan ng “wider choices” ang mga
texters. Ang kaso, dumami nga ang options, pero nagmahal ang presyo ng
unli. Puwede na sana yung P50 for five days, kaso ngayon P10 pa rin per
day, kaso kalahating araw na lang. Tsk tsk, kawawa naman ang mga fans
ni Ederlyn–kilala n’yo ba si Ederlyn? Hehe.
Nasa ibaba ang online petition ng TXTPower sa National Telecommunications Commission. Pinapapirmahan yan ng grupo sa www.txtpower.org. Read the rest of this entry »
