Pinays Insulted by British Comedy "Harry and Paul"

2008-10-06T08:44:00.000-07:00

Our Pinays worked abroad for their families. Leaving their families especially their kids is not easy for them but they need to. They work hard for money, but sometimes, they get abused, tortured, some of them even die.

But what is this? A British Comedy called "Harry and Paul" making up stories of Filipina OFWs as sexual objects? Do you think it's funny?

In this said show, a Filipina involved as domestic helper, and being ordered by Harry to dance in front of Paul. Anyway, you can watch what I'm talking about on video from Youtube.

Of course, we can't let them to just make fun of us. That's why Cong. Risa Hontiveros forced the DFA to file a complaint to British government and to make an apology from BBC.

Milagring: Igiling-giling!

2008-10-05T01:51:00.000-07:00

After posting Yeng Constantino as my favorite singer, now I need to make a post about my favorite dancer. :)

Not just my favorite dancer, but one of celebrities that I admired most. She got pretty face, nice body (woohoo), great dancer, nice behavior and smile. She's from Anna S. Feliciano's (ASF) Dancers of Wowowee.

Yeah, no other than Milagring. That TV name was given by either Willie Revillame or from TV director Edgar "Bobot" Mortiz, but her screen name is Danna De Castro. Yes, Danna De Castro is just her screen name. I'm not quite sure about this but as I've read and heard from others, Danna is her nickname and De Castro was her ex-boyfriend's surname.

Her real name is Annaliza/Anna Liza Baldonado. From Cabuyao, Laguna. I think I need to research more of her to update this post.

Yeng Constantino

2008-10-02T11:37:00.000-07:00

Who is the most viewed Filipino Celebrity fan profile in Friendster? I tried to search that in Google. But before I found out who's on top, I saw Yeng's name in one of the results. Yeah, Yeng Constantino.

Josephine "Yeng" Constantino, born December 4, 1988, is the youngest child of Susan Constantino and Joselito Constantino. She was born in Rodriguez, Rizal. She is a very first winner from reality TV singing search of Pinoy Dream Academy, a Philippine edition of Endemol's Star Academy.

Yeng is the 6th most viewed and subscribed Filipino Celebrity fan profile in Friendster, with over 50,000 fans.

Anyway, I'm one of her fans. Hehehe...

The Loveless Poem

2008-10-01T12:08:00.000-07:00

The Loveless Poem
(from Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core)

Prologue (Poem)
When the war of the beasts brings about the world’s end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

Prologue (Interpreted)
When the war of the beasts brings about the world’s end
The goddess descends from the sky

Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

Genesis : Final FantasyVII Crisis Core

Act I (Poem)
Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky
Ripples form on the water’s surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.

Act I (Interpreted)
The infinite mystery
The gift of the goddess is what the three men seek
But their fates are scattered by war

One is taken captured, one flies away
And the last becomes a hero

But the three are still bound by a solemn oath
To seek the answer together, once again

Act II (Poem)
There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds

Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh

Act II (Interpreted)
Though the prisoner escapes, he is gravely wounded
His life is saved, however
By a woman of the opposing nation

He begins a life of seclusion with her
Which seems to hold the promise of eternal bliss

But as happiness grows, so does guilt
Of not fulfilling the oath to his friends

Act III (Poem)
My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow

My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return

Act III (Interpreted)
As the war sends the world hurtling towards destruction
The prisoner departs with his newfound love
And embarks on a new journey

He is guided by hope that the gift will bring bliss
And the oath that he swore to his friends

Though no oath is shared between the lovers
In their hearts they know they will meet again

Act IV (Poem)
My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess

My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber

Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world’s end
The wind sails over the water’s surface
Quietly, but surely

Act V (Poem)
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice

Virus on T-shirt!

2008-09-30T15:33:00.000-07:00

We're planning to make a shirt with a custom design as our uniform. I tried to make a design for a logo, and other things to be print on T-shirt using Adobe Photoshop CS2 (not updated yet to CS4, whew).

And here's what I've created:

I edited the logo of PSP, and put our company's initial on it. Almost all of us owned a PSP, and I can say that all of us were addicted to this gadget so, I decided to add this one in our shirt's design. This one will be print on the upper part of the back of T-shirt. Anyway, the color of shirt is black.

Then, Shift 2 because we belong to 2nd shift in our work. Well, not the best shift in our company, but the happiest and coolest. I'm planning to put this mark either on sleeve or on lower-left of the shirt.

This is the logo I've created for our team and I named it Virus. Well, because we are using a computer in our work, so I think it's okay to use this name. Other than that, no idea, lol.

I showed it to my mate but he asked me to darken the color of red. To be more match with the shirt's color. So, I edited that one and this is the result:

Anyway, this is not the official logo for our team. I need to present it first to them, and if they approve my work, then, it's ready to print.

The Greatest Pool Shot! Efren Reyes

2008-06-25T20:26:00.000-07:00

The greatest pool shot ever made by Efren "Bata", "The Magician" Reyes.

Efren Reyes got both skill and luck in playing billiards. The best thing about Reyes, however, is not actually his billiard skills but his humility and his being a good-hearted person, which a pool player worth is salt should have. Because he's a Filipino.
