Ah, another case of townsfolk spurning their prophets!

Hahay kanimo, Ms. Singkit, gatuo man gud ka nga kamo rang Tsaynis maoy hawod sa martial arts. For your information, Empress, I checked this with an arnis black belter friend of mine, and he confirmed the existence of Kino Mutai. However, he added that this is mainly a female form of fighting. An even milder form, preferred by the green-blooded among us, is Kino Siay...

bahalag mag linu waai ta, o mag sinik mahai ba, di gyod ko patoo, mabudlat pa akong mata, morpa.  bogolbogolon ning bisajaa nga nag-imbento ani.  hasta australian nailad intawon (judging from a certain youtube).  mora gyod ug bol-anon ang nagbunyag ani da.

Zendee Rose Japitana Tenerefe

A Netizen predicted that, with all the attention heaped on her in cyberspace, television interviews would soon follow.

Not a few fans wondered why she has not been discovered by reality shows like “The X Factor,” “Talentadong Pinoy” and “Protégé.”

Someone suggested that she sing the National Anthem in FiManny Pacquiao’s next prizefight. (She has a photo with fellow Gen San resident Pacman on her FB page.)

Another observer remarked: “Unknown, undiscovered, unexploited. She’s simply enjoying herself … sharing her gift [with] the world. Let her walk the earth free. Let her be.”

http://entertainment.inquirer.net/

College senior

Reyes added: “Our country is just so blessed with these unknown, immense talents that the world needs to hear.”

In her Facebook page, Tenerefe said she is a “senior college student, taking up BS Information Technology.”

Apart from music, “the computer world” seems to be another “passion.”

“Every day I am on Tumblr, Facebook and Plurk. (Surfing the Net) is part of my daily routine,” she said. “I love photography, music and reading forums online.”

Speculation

There was a lot of speculation on the identity of the mystery singer.

The Netizen who posted the video, youngjay0918 (or Yuan Juan), has confirmed that “Random Girl” is 21-year-old singer Zendee Rose Japitana Tenerefe of General Santos City, South Cotabato. (A fan page devoted to her was started on Facebook in 2010.)

Effortlessly, Tenerefe has wowed cyber fansâ€"both ordinary music-lovers and acclaimed musicians.

She even impressed renowned voice teacher and former New Minstrels singer Louie Reyes, who wrote in her Facebook account: “Her song of choice was a heavy bravura song that would make you pass out if you overdo it. Then as unceremoniously as she walked into the appliance store, she walked out as if she had just tried on a pair of shoes.”

Some of Reyes’ fellow singers were just as awed. Quipped Lirio Vital: “Amazing.” Celeste Legaspi agreed: “What a talent! Pinoy, of course. And the people walking around her looking like it’s the most ordinary thing to see in the Philippines. Galing mo, girl!”

great guy!  this picture made my day.

don't get me wrong, please.  i'm not saying that mine was an ideal wedding.  far from it.  but i wouldn't have it any other way.  the reason?  if there's anything i don't like, it's being the focus of attention.  big weddings do that to brides.  because i prefer to pussyfoot my way through life as a very private person, it was just to be expected of me to choose a very private way to get hitched.  i was after the solemnity of the occasion anyway.

p.s. i'm a ma'am, not a sir.   i wrote on a piece of paper everything that i wanted for my wedding years ago, including who will be there (immediate family members without their small children at the wedding ceremony venue, which was a convent), who will officiate, the four-course menu for dinner, no video, just stills after the ceremony, no retinue, etc.  i held the rings because i had no bouquet.  but i wore a white dress anyway.  i got it all in perfect order on one piece of ruled pad paper.

actually sir we have daughter mag 3 this coming december... sinabi ko na po sa kanya dati kung pwede sa Judge muna kami pakasal then sa simbahan... parang mas feel ata nya sa simbahan  gastos un ata hehehe

actually, kung tutuusin, wala rin yatang gastos ang simbahan.  minimal lang, para sa service at record, just like a civil wedding.  yung gastos yung itsi-buritsi nga.  kailangan pa ba ng wedding gown na mamahalin?  what really is the function of those flower girls, bridesmaids, maid of honor, and their escorts?  magastos yung attires nila, di ba?  and they'll be worn only once.  you can still have a blessed marriage in the eyes of god without those frills. 

weddings such as those bore me, kung ako lang ang tatanungin mo.  we follow too much the western tradition that has shades of royalty (thus the 'maid of honor' and etc.) and a dash of fairy tale, for what?  photo ops?  how important is that to one's marriage?  bakit kailangan pa ng audience kung magpakasal, hindi ka naman makikilala nga mga churchgoers a.  all you need are two witnesses and the presence of your immediate family members, actually.

if you're not married yet because of financial considerations, i could only wonder whether trappings and frills are more important than a legal and binding blessed union.

i won't even ask if this ass would lull you to dreamland.

yataps.  now i'm wondering why some male doctors would specialize in gynecology.

seriously pa rin, ang kasal na walang itsi-buritsi kahit snacks ay around 500 pesos lang ang cost.  etong annulment ay at least 50k.  kaya mag-isip kang mabuti, iho.  do not jump into marriage.  walk in slowly, carefully, and deliberately. 

your eye candy sweet babycakes today could be tomorrow's manananggal, and you the prince charming would turn out to be a tikbalang.  okay lang sana kung ganyan dahil patas kayo.  kaso, we will never know.

The SS Andrea Doria was an ocean liner in the Italian fleet, which was home ported in Genoa.  The ship is most famous for its sinking in 1956.  On July25, 1956 the cruiser was approaching the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts bound for New York City when it collided with the eastward-bound MS Stockholm of the Swedish American Line.  The accident would become one of history's most infamous maritime disasters.  The shortage of lifeboats might have resulted in significant loss of life, but improvements in communications and rapid responses by other ships averted a disaster similar in scale to the Titanic.

In all, 1660 passengers and crew were rescued and survived, while 46 people died as a consequence of the collision.  The evacuated luxury liner capsized and sank the following morning.  In 1957, Harry A.

He calculated which house would give him the best vantage point and knocked on a door.  The owner let him in and Frank made his way to the rear porch and took the photo that won him the Pulitzer.  Ed Bancroft was eventually knocked unconscious by an officer who had snuck up behind the fence.   

Water!
Photographer: Frank Noel
Year: 1943 Pulitzer



In January of 1942, photographer Frank “Poppy” Noel was covering British troops in Singapore.  The Pacific War was going badly and Japanese planes were beginning to bomb the city.  Noel had contracted malaria and was in the process of being shipped back to the United States when the freighter he was traveling on was hit by a Japanese torpedo.  The ship went down in the Indian Ocean and Noel managed to escape and board a life vessel with 27 survivors.

The group drifted aimlessly for five days in scorching heat.  During the disaster, a separate lifeboat of survivors approached the men explaining that they had lost their water supply in the rush to escape from the boat.  As they neared Noel’s boat one of the sailors reached out his hand and begged for water.  Sadly, they had none to offer.

The World Press Photo of the Year is considered the most prestigious honor in photojournalism.  In order to win the award, a photo must represent an issue, situation or event of great journalistic importance.  It also must demonstrate an outstanding level of visual perception and creativity.  The tradition started in 1955 and continues today.  The Pulitzer Prize for Photography is another highly respected award.  It was handed out from 1942 until 1967.

In 1968, the honor was split into two separate prizes, the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography and the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography.

the doctor could even be looking for smuggled diamonds or illegal drugs.

i thought he was looking for pin worms or hemorrhoids because he has no medical instrument.

let me try to share my two-cents' worth over your curious question:

Hi guys, I'm a little bit curious about Marriage Proposal....
Question:

If you propose to her? Agad agad pa Marriage na?

if your proposal is time-bounded, then it may not be agad-agad.  say, you propose that you get married in 2050, at your own peril.  so it's not agad-agad, right?

QuoteYou just propose to her for a marriage kahit hindi pa muna?

why propose at all if there's no date yet?  what for?  to hold her down to a relationship with you?  that can go both ways; some girls may just go for the long haul and concentrate on their careers, others just won't wait nor take you seriously.  the former may end up choosing their careers over you, the latter would end up in the arms of other men who are more decisive in taking them to the altar.  in which case the best question that you may ask of yourself would be "what do i really want?".

bai tigs, it's around 10:00 a.m. in manila now.  i just woke up.  it's helter-skelter in the skies again.  ngitngit pa sa akong kalimutaw ang kalangitan.  and there's thunder and lightning.  i hope my fears that the floods will come again would remain just that, mere fears.

throw in some promise of thorough study for canonization of the absolution's recipient.

nudist beach nga daghan kaayog tujom, hahaha!  paskang nimo, vrglguaps.  ang resulta, ang beachgoers mamorag porcupines.

bahalag suholan... what crazy bride would wear this?

the $1.5m wedding dress made up of 2009 peacock feathers

The $1.5million creation was made at a wedding dress factory and took eight workers 40 days to sew together.


The dress, valued at around $1.5m, took eight workers 40 days to sew together


Proud plumage: Only male birds display the colorful feathers

An average male peacock sheds around 200 feathers during his annual molt â€" meaning the makers would have had to have harvested the feathers from more than ten birds over the course of a year.

Male peacock tail feathers grow to be several feet long but are shed each year just before the breeding season.

The feathers feature a design resembling an eye and are made up of shimmering blues and greens.

Despite the dresses' eye-catching beauty, prospective brides should be aware that peacock feathers are considered bad luck in some cultures.

While the live birds themselves are thought to bring good luck, having peacock feathers in your home bears the risk of inviting in trouble and sorrow.

The dress was assembled in a wedding dress factory in Nanjing, east China's Jiangsu Province and features a bodice created with brocade and Suzhou embroidery.

some other website credits vera wang for this gown.

the bus company is able to explain itself well, at least according to the details of the news item.  what one may wonder about is why the denr gave the permit, why the local barangay council wasn't consulted, and why a bus terminal operates within a residential area.  but that's manila.  we can only wonder why there seems to be no enforcement of zoning laws. 

our address here is supposedly a residential building.  right beside it is a stripper's club.  less than 50 meters away are a school and the city hall.  whoever gave this stripper's club the permit to operate must be rotting in hell.  but again that's manila.  it's far from being a well-planned metropolis.

this martial art has adherents, after all...



Woman Charged to Court for Biting Off Neighbour’s Nose

From Edo State comes a report that a 38-year-old woman, Monica Edosa, has been arraigned before a Customary Court sitting in the Idogbo area of the state for allegedly biting off her neighbour’s nose.

The prosecutor, Benson Agu, said the accused had, on the 16th of October, 2011, at Osaiwede Street, Upper Sakponba Road, Benin, bitten off part of Joy Okunrobo’s nose during a ‘fight’.

Although the accused, Monica Edosa, pleaded...
not guilty to the charges, the prosecutor applied for an adjournment to enable both parties resolve the case out of court. This was because the father of the victim, Roland Osakue had pleaded with the husband of the accused, Okunrobo Edosa, for out-of-court settlement.

After listening to the submissions of all the parties, the judge, Esther Eweka, granted bail to the accused in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum. She then adjourned the case till 15 November for further briefing on the progress of the out of court settlement... But na for some women o, they can biteee! (http://www.olufamous.com/)
