			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know how many men are aware of this, but wearing tight underpants impacts the production of sperm, thus lowering the output over time. I&#8217;m not asking you to go commando, but switch to boxers while you still can!</p>
<p>I flip-flopped over 10 years ago, as I experienced perpetual heating in you know where. There&#8217;s a reason why God intended our balls to be positioned ala alfresco - to keep the temperature cooler for the propagation of sperm. Now, stop pretending to be offended because it&#8217;s a fact and if you&#8217;re a dude, you should be heedful of it.</p>
<p>So, an advice from Gallivanter, switch to boxers and save your nuts!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Miss Earth competition will take place on 22nd November 2009. I&#8217;m not sure why we need another beauty pageant, but I&#8217;m guessing anything for an excuse to see beauties in bikinis. Here are my picks purely based on how they look and their odds of winning it. But don&#8217;t bet on it because I obviously cannot take into account of their IQ levels.</p>
<div id="attachment_7195" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-7195" title="Miss Earth 2009 Contestants" src="http://danielfranklingomez.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/earth.jpg" alt="Miss Earth 2009 Contestants" width="400" height="334" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Miss Earth 2009 Contestants</p></div>
<p>Surprisingly, from the faces that I clicked from the above list, Miss Indonesia and Miss Malaysia was in my selections. I don&#8217;t know if that does not say much about this year&#8217;s contestants. We&#8217;ll see. After loading up Miss Colombia, Miss Cuba and Miss Ecuador as well, I short-listed only 2 from the list, and it&#8217;s Indonesia vs Malaysia.</p>
<div id="attachment_7197" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 400px"><img class="size-full wp-image-7197" title="Miss Malaysia Earth 2009 - Madelyne Nandu" src="http://danielfranklingomez.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/malaysia.jpg" alt="Miss Malaysia Earth 2009 - Madelyne Nandu" width="390" height="530" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Miss Malaysia Earth 2009 - Madelyne Nandu</p></div>
<div id="attachment_7198" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 400px"><img class="size-full wp-image-7198" title="Miss Indonesia Earth 2009 - Nadine Zamira Sjarief" src="http://danielfranklingomez.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/indonesia.jpg" alt="Miss Indonesia Earth 2009 - Nadine Zamira Sjarief" width="390" height="530" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Miss Indonesia Earth 2009 - Nadine Zamira Sjarief</p></div>
<p>Okay, looking at them again, I take it back. Miss Earth is a poor alternative to Miss Universe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is one of my pet peeves &#8211; waiting for a woman to get dress. It&#8217;s difficult to blame them, as I think it&#8217;s in their DNA. Men tend to be on time, or at least within 30 minutes. However, I dislike being late as I think most men can say the same.</p>
<p>Women on the other hand, NEEDS to be late, as late as possible! I&#8217;m not sure if they think it&#8217;s some sort of fashion to be late, so all eyes are on them when they make an entrance. This will always be one of the mysteries of life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before I venture on penning my sentiments, I want to state the obvious &#8211; this is NOT a movie review because &#8220;THIS IS IT&#8221; was never plotted to be a movie in the first place! I spent RM120 for a pair of tickets at the Gold Class just to see one of my favorite artist, Michael Jackson showcase his wizardry for the world, through a series of footages of his rehearsals.</p>
<p>It was an artistic revelation of Michael Jackson, a glowing testimonial to the King of Pop, and despite his physical frailness, his voice was astonishingly immaculate. If only this concert was actualized, it would&#8217;ve been the best show that we would&#8217;ve ever witnessed! I saw MJ 1996 in KL and to date it remains my favorite concert &#8211; damn I&#8217;m lucky!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7182" title="This is It - Malaysia Review" src="http://danielfranklingomez.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/this.jpg" alt="This is It - Malaysia Review" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>I loved how &#8220;Thriller&#8221; and &#8220;Smooth Criminal&#8221; got a makeover. The movie evidences his vulnerable prowess, from grousing about his earpieces to conserving his voice. It testifies that MJ is only human, feeling eager about his earthshaking return. His rehearsals were extraordinary and the backup dancers were in a class of their own.</p>
<p>Michael Jackson&#8217;s lack of awareness of the recording makes it even better. The King of Pope exhibits that he is a pure perfectionist, being involved in each cue and musical arrangements. It is such a gloominess to see the footages, knowing that MJ was conserving his energy for the 50 date concert that never came.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7183" title="Michael Jackson's This is It (Malaysia Screening)" src="http://danielfranklingomez.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/this2.jpg" alt="Michael Jackson's This is It (Malaysia Screening)" width="400" height="238" /></p>
<p>&#8220;THIS IS IT&#8221; is for fans like me who will continue to listen to his music, and not for gossip-mongering retards. Although the &#8220;movie&#8221; kinda droops after a while due to its repetitiveness nature.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve got to let it simmer&#8221; &#8211; Michael Jackson</p></blockquote>
<p>The most artistic moments were when he finishes his move and stands still with a saintly smile as the lights fade away. Ladies &amp; Gentlemen, there will NEVER be another King of Pop, there will never be another person in this world who can unite us the way he did.</p>
<p>To Michael Jackson, you have been misunderstood and I hope this film gives your name the peace and respect it truly deserves.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No, this post is not meant reinforce stereotyping the genders. Of course not. Really. Promise. I’m just keeping it real. Honest.</p>
<p>OK, I can speak for men, our toilet visits are quick. We go in, do the business, and get out. Women though, of course, depending on who they go out with, it become an outing, talking about the various subjects.</p>
<p>I believe us men practice a set of unspoken rules of silence as a respect for personal space. Are we different or are we different?</p>
<p>Good thing my fiancée is an exception to the rule. To all you women, why do you like spending longer time than required in a place where the process of defecation and urination takes place?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is your take on that? Usually after marriage, women almost always give up their surnames instead of men.</p>
<p>The latest &#8220;trend&#8221; is the double-surnames, but I think it is not practical. Take for example, my future wife. If she adopted this approach, then she&#8217;d be introducing herself as Emelda Vincent-Gomez. 2 male names for a lady. I don&#8217;t think it sounds right.</p>
<p>Why are women so willing to give up their surnames? I think marriage is understood to be a new social status for them. I don&#8217;t think this applies to Islam for some reason I don&#8217;t know and don&#8217;t really care.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7164" title="Women Surname" src="http://danielfranklingomez.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/family.gif" alt="Women Surname" width="400" height="378" /></p>
<p>Do you lose your identity when you change your surname? Surely it is not convenient at all as you have to change a whole bunch of official documentation. Is it just a mindless tradition accepted by society?</p>
<p>For me, I don&#8217;t mind if Mel decides to maintain her status quo as Emelda Vincent, or decide to adopt my surname to become Emelda Gomez. To me, it&#8217;s just a name on paper as she will always be dear to me.</p>
<p>Women, what are your thoughts?</p>
