“… At least Hayden Kho can always say he believes in transparency”

From Naked Truths, Conrado de Quiros’ latest column on Inquirer.net:

Just as well, at least Hayden Kho can always say he believes in transparency and parading the naked truth. Not so the prominent people who screw us by pocketing our taxes and hide the evidence by screwing the whistleblowers some more. Not so the prominent people who get caught in tapes, even if they do not make those tapes themselves, plotting to screw the voters and who apologize later but not for the crime, only for being caught. Not so the prominent people, the emperors and empresses, who like to believe they are wearing the finest clothes in the world when they are in fact running around stark raving naked. And Revilla calls Hayden Kho the sickest man alive?

Lately, talks about scandalous videos on Philippine celebrities Dr. Hayden Kho and Katrina Halili, and the involvement of actor-turned-politician Bong Revilla on the issue have been frequenting Plurk, among the many micro-blogging platforms in the web.

And this graph tells it tall.

Plurk trends: katrina halili, hayden kho, scandal, bong revilla

Notice the steady steep mark from around May 16 to 19. How interesting!

Better SPAM protection

Those Russian spam comments don’t touch my moderation list anymore.

Not just broke… I am bankrupt!

It was my biggest purchase in 2008 and yet, still will be the biggest in 2009. My housing loan got approved last month and it was only today when F & I were able to sign the bank documents (being co-borrowers and co-mortgagors).

Just when I thought I could finally start paying the loan on July, it turned out only 80% got approved. This means I still have to pay 10% of *that whole amount* to the land co. And only after that will the bank release my loan. *facepalm*

I was quite expecting the loan deficit. But 10% of *that* distributed into a 5-month payment scheme would tender me not just broke but bankrupt.

If I wouldn’t borrow from anyone else, I would have to say goodbye to my “life savings”, which I thought I have wittingly invested in the military cooperative.

Now, if you think you’re sooo blessed and will be willing to share your blessings to a poor soul, I would gladly accept your PayPal donations: jiyoru@gmail.com

Surprisingly though, dealing with the real estate agent this afternoon, considering I took 2 hours off work, wasn’t as bad as before. Perhaps because I seen some gestures of support from F. (And the lighter mood was perhaps because we found amusement in the bank officer who didn’t notice the snot on his left nose. Hurhur!)

I think I’m into K-Girls nao (read: Sandara Park and 2ne1)

I’m partly interested in what happened to Sandara Park when she eventually went back to her home country after her brief waddle into Philippine Showbiz. I heard she’s doing quite well, getting involved more and more with big names in Korea.

It surprised me though when I read she’s now a member of a Korean girl group, 2ne1 (formerly known as 21) whose single, FIRE, was just released yesterday (6 May), along with two versions of the music video. (No wonder if they’re still all over YouTube!)

Too bad though, you won’t find the Sandara voice who sang “Walang sabit…” shampoo ad jingle because her vocal part in the song was highly synthesized. (Is that a good or a bad thing?)

2ne1 - FIRE MV (Space version)

2ne1 - FIRE MV (Street version) - I like this version better!

Just to force myself to write again, I decided to re-install 2007ish layout of Cureless ^_^ Clever, eh?

LOL, you need genuine Windows to install Internet Explorer 7

I’m sick therefore I blog

A month without a post? What’s new?

Is it true I’m abandoning this site? Never.

I got hitched? Far from soon (but getting there).

Is my 6-month old job killing me? Not really, but the commute kind of breaks my hobby schedule. I’m happy to say that I got regularized though. ^_^

Trade-off? I can only think of that.

Did you know that I became a member of this e-group? Dreaming - that’s my favorite obsession.

Will I start writing here again soon? I’m trying (3x)

I’ve been suffering from an acute tonsilitis since yesterday. As of now, I still have fever and I don’t feel good without Paracetamol’s help.

It’s true that my throat was feeling a little sore even before Fluffy and I went to the mall to shop for clothes and shoes. I even managed to eat a lot that time - banana fritter, mango shake, corn soup at SM Makati, then a meal from World Chicken at Glorietta’s food court.

I’m really puzzled at what caused the “sudden” inflammation. It was only after seeing the company doctor that I decided to look at my own throat in the mirror. Then, voila!

“Nanang tinubuan ng tonsil,” according to Doc. There must be a load of abscesses in my throat for her to say that!

This image from Wikipedia barely shows how abscesses have grown in my tonsils. Gross, very. I can see how the nurse, doctor and Fluffy grimaced when they saw it. I’m grossed out by my own effing tonsils! *shudders*

I took a picture of my throat and will post them soon. Thank me the cables are missing or I’m not sparing everybody from the gross-y part. *evil laugh*

I’m partly thankful that this “ailment” showed up just when I was granted sick leaves by my company.
