I really don't have anything to blog about so I'll just paste a mail i got from a friend this afternoon...

Hi People!

I want to thank all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send me your chain e-mails and letters over the past year. Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy.

Because of your concern:

I no longer can drink Coca-Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans.

I no longer drink anything out of a can because I will get sick from the rat feces and urine.

I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.

I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a stupid number for which I will get the phone bill from hell with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.

I no longer eat prepackaged foods because the estrogen they contain will turn me gay.

I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer date the opposite sex because they will take my kidneys and leave me taking a nap in a bathtub full of ice.

I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.

I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.

Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes. (Geeze, the BIBLE did not mention it works that way!)

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl who is about to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time).

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.

Yes, I want to thank all of you soooooooo much for looking out for me!

I will now return the favor. If you don't send this e-mail to at least 1200 people in the next 60 seconds, a large bird with diarrhea will crap on your head at 5pm this afternoon and the fleas of a thousand camels will infest your armpits.

I know this will occur because it actually happened to a neighbor of a friend of a friend of another friend's neighbor's cousin-in-law.

(Sorry still have the Mary Roach of American Idol flu)

Earthquake is an ordinary thing in Japan. (It lies at the crossing of four tectonic plates -yahoo news) Well we experienced another strong one, strong enough to wake me up, this morning around 5AM (4:46 AM -yahoo news).

I didn't even get out of bed. It's 5AM for cryring out loud! I still have 2 1/2 hours left and don't want to waste any minute of it. But then this morning a friend asked me what did i do when it happened. (She's obviously new to this earthquake country). I told her the truth but deep inside me i know i should have done something besides staying in my bed completing my sleeping ritual. So i yahooed "What to do during an earthquake" and found this site prepared by University of Alaska Fairbanks. I hope they don't sue me by posting their earthquake safety Do's and Don'ts.

What to do during an earthquake
1. If you are indoors, duck or drop down to the floor. Take cover under a sturdy desk, table or other furniture. Hold on to it and be prepared to move with it. Hold the position until the ground stops shaking and it is safe to move. Stay clear of windows, fireplaces, woodstoves, and heavy furniture or appliances that may fall over. Stay inside to avoid being injured by falling glass or building parts. If you are in a crowded area, take cover where you are. Stay calm and encourage others to do likewise.

2. If you are outside, get into the open, away from buildings and power lines.

3. If you are driving, stop if it is safe, but stay inside your car. Stay away from bridges, overpasses and tunnels. Move your car as far out of the normal traffic pattern as possible. If possible, avoid stopping under trees, light posts, power lines, or signs.

4. If you are in a mountainous area, or near unstable slopes or cliffs, be alert for falling rock and other debris that could be loosened by the earthquake.

5. If you are at the beach, move quickly to higher ground or several hundred yards inland.

Emergency supplies
Keep enough supplies in your home to meet your needs for at least three days. Store these items in sturdy, easy-to-carry containers such as backpacks, duffel bags, or covered trash containers. These are the basics to have on hand for any emergency:

Flashlights with spare batteries. Keep a flashlight beside your bed. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are certain no gas leaks exist.
Battery-operated radio with spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order or used for emergency purposes, so radios will be your best source of information. An automobile radio is a good substitute.

First aid kit; first aid knowledge. Have a first aid book such as the Standard First Aid & Personal Safety by the American National Red Cross. Have members of your household take basic Red Cross first aid and CPR courses.

Fire extinguisher. Keep a fire extinguisher handy for small fires. Some extinguishers are only good for certain types of fires--electrical, grease, or gas. Class ABC extinguishers are designed to be used safely on any type of fire.

Food. It's a practical idea to keep a supply of non-perishable food on hand that can be rotated into your diet and be replenished on a regular basis. Have a sufficient supply of canned or dehydrated food, powdered milk, and canned juices for at least three days.

Water. Water should be stored in airtight containers and replaced every six months. Store at least three gallons per person.

Warm clothes and blankets. Have enough warm clothes, blankets, and sleeping bags to survive subzero winter temperatures.

Special items. Keep on hand at least a week's supply of medications and special foods needed for infants or those on limited diets.

Tools. Have a pipe wrench and an adjustable wrench for turning off gas and water mains.

That's all! Well it's better to be ready and safe than sorry. I always thought running outside is the best thing to do. (I can still remember the America's funniest video where the guy taking a shower ran out buck naked. I promised myself it won't be happening to me). Anyways, looks like Duck, Cover and Hold is the way to do it.

Have an earthquake-free day!

/Bayanihan →→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→

After sleepless nights packing everything i own(i'm telling you i own a LOT of trash) in boxes i finally moved out last saturday. Now i'm aching all over. My arms and legs are sore. My back aching. My fingers blistered. What else can i ask for?

Thanks to all my friends who helped me! The guys helped me carrying boxes(most of them are really heavy). They even assembled the entertainment system and the computer table for me. The girls fixed food, organized my kitchen by disposing things i myself can't possibly let go off. It's a modern bayanihan.

I really owe them big time.

I told the driver of the truck(i hired a driver and his truck) "Hikkoshi wa taihen desu ne.(It's really tiring to move.)". He replied "Sou desu ne. Demo tomodachi ga okkute yokatta. (Yeah, but in your case it's not so bad. You have so many friends to help you)". I just smiled...


PS.
I promised myself i will not move again... ever... until they discover a machine that can teleport all my stuffs in a snap...

Didn't get anything in my wish list too... just got a normal computer table instead. The "washlet" and the display cabinet can wait.

A friend told me about the commercial in budweiser's site. Just click on "Get the ad you won't see during the big game!". Worth the laugh. (while you are in bud site, try their "GIVING LIP" feature under Entertainment... You can make a photo come to life!)

Reminds me of the shock the world got when Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunctioned...
Let me refresh your memories...

Photo from The Onion

Most probably enjoyed it. People with tivo must have rewinded and played it a hundred times...Breast is a breast and you can't always get that in national TV primetime so that's good :). But it would have been better if it was Jessica or christina or britney or Beyonce or Alicia Keys or Kate beckinsale or Jen Garner or Natalie Portman or Alyssa Milano or Jennifer Aniston or Kiera Knightely or Kristin Kruek or Charlize Theron or Elisha Cuthbert or Jessica Alba or Angelina Jolie... get my point? Janet just reminds me of Michael Jackson plus boobs :( It was really traumatic for some especially for the children who saw the be-"sunned" bosom.

Found this article in the Onion, i know it's not true but it's really funny!
Quoting some:

"Mommy has dirty chest bumps, She's like the bad lady on TV. I'm afraid Mommy will take off her shirt and scare everyone. I hate Mommy."

"According to Wasserbaum, one 8-year-old girl told her parents that she didn't "want to get evil breasts."

The Onion even provided pictures of drawings by children during Super Bowl XXXVIII half-time show.



Anyway hope they have a better half-time this time... I know some of the girls i mentioned above can't sing but who cares? :)

->->->

Turns out Paul McCartney will do the half-time and Alicia Keys (see one of my girls made it) doing the national anthem.

So would it be the defending champion Patriots or the Eagles(last superbowl 1981)?

The kid on the lower left(zhar santos), who turns out to be a girl (i thought the other girl is the dark kid with frizzy hair), passed the Las Vegas audition of American Idol. Never seen any episode of this TV show until last night.

Well it's really a funny show, I was laughing my ass off when some of the "aspirants" insisted that they actually think they are good when obviously they are not.

No matter what happen to Zhar Santos, now Sharon Galvez, I'll definitely still watch the rest of the season...
