Anyway, another good news, was happy that it rained yesterday! Our country needs that. Hopefully, that would signal the end of El Nino.

Team Philippines! Team Pacquiao!

It’s the fight we’ve all been waiting for (lol, again)… It’s Clottey versus Pacquiao! Woot! Saw the news last night and man, Clottey looks adorable. He’s all smiling, and even says he admires our Pinoy boxer. Oh, he’s so adorable to the point that I almost want him to win. Of course, im just joking. Hehehe.

Anyway, it’s gonna be this coming March 14 (oh no, it’s on Sunday na!) so get your laptops ready for livestream (hehehe) and your tv (delayed telecast via gma and solar sports) ready for some action. Also make sure you dont kick and pound as hard so your tv stands wont get “boxed out”.

Team Pacquiao for the win!

At that time some people who were present there told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.

He said to them in reply, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were greater sinners than all other Galileans?

By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!

Or those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them –do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem?

By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!”

And he told them this parable: “There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard, and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none, he said to the gardener, ‘For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none. (So) cut it down. Why should it exhaust the soil?’ He said to him in reply, ‘Sir, leave it for this year also, and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it; it may bear fruit in the future. If not you can cut it down.’”

Just watched Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland in 3d, and it was good.

If you’re expecting a story based on the Disney classic, then you’ll be disappointed to see the film all kinda gloomy and dark — true to Burton’s style. This film, Alice in “Underland”, is more for the adults — and has more “depth” than the novel it was based on (which basically’s just a series of weird things happening on top of each other).

I love almost everything about the movie — especially the scene when Alice fell from the tree, and everything went dark, and things just got all weird. It’s almost like we are gonna be hit (the kid beside me kept on “avoiding” the ‘boxes’ ) by all those stuff flying everywhere. I love the Red Queen, the Mad Hatter, Dee-Dum (my friend asked my why Humpty Dumpy was there lol), love the chess army, love this version of “cards”.

There are only two things I didnt really like about the movie. First, the White Queen’s makeup — I mean Anne Hathaway’s makeup (makeup talaga eh ahaha!). Seems she was the only one without “post production” done — could see her eyebags and her dark undereye circles. I was kinda hoping she’d be glowing at least a little… since everything in the underland’s supposed to be a bit “surreal”. Last, how come there are instances when the “background” goes blurred? I mean, I’m supposed to watch it as if im there, right? My vision’s not perfect but I wish they didnt automatically “blur” areas for me.

Aside from that, i really, really, really love the movie. I recommend you guys to watch it on 3d. There’s one in SM Edsa, 400 pesosesoses a seat.

It’s really heartwarming that there are friends who are more than willing to help in time of need. Cancer is no joke, and if you got no insurance coverage or health card, it would be harder (so you should go get life insurance quotes and health cards, asap!).

But at least Francine is getting jobs na — since the start of the Chinese New Year (that’s according to her, of course). Hope her mom gets well, and for her to have her career back on track.

Went to Baguio over the weekend for the Panagbenga Flower Festival in Baguio, and well, all I could say is I really hope there was more.

I was expecting it to be really grand, being Panagbenga’s 15th anniversary, but I was disappointed. We opted to pay the 50-peso seats, and realized that we could not view “properly” because two lanes were used. Couldnt take good photos cause there were “slr photographers” all over. The floats were so-so, there’s even one that’s got super “few” flowers (like smb’s?). Thought it was too commercialized.

But of course, who am I to complain (lol, after all the whining hehehe) there must be a reason. Regardless, kudos to the organizers cause I know it really is hard to put up a major event like this.

I love Baguio, it’s one of my fave places in the country, so I hope next year would be better. Hehehe. Would have wanted to have Panagbenga custom travel mugs to give to my fam as pasalubong, but cant find so I just bought toys and stuff.

About eight days after he said this, he took Peter, John, and James and went up the mountain to pray.

While he was praying his face changed in appearance and his clothing became dazzling white.

And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem.

Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.

As they were about to part from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here; let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” But he did not know what he was saying.

While he was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and they became frightened when they entered the cloud.

Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my chosen Son; listen to him.”

After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They fell silent and did not at that time tell anyone what they had seen.

Will Sarah Geronimo make a surprise appearance on the concert — given her duet with Howie D?

Filled with the holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert
for forty days, to be tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were over he was hungry.

The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”

Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘One does not live by bread alone.’”

Then he took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a single instant.

The devil said to him, “I shall give to you all this power and their glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I may give it to whomever I wish. All this will be yours, if you worship me.”

Jesus said to him in reply, “It is written: ‘You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him alone shall you serve.’”

Then he led him to Jerusalem, made him stand on the parapet of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written: ‘He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,’ and: ‘With their hands they will support you, lest you dash your foot against a stone.’”

Jesus said to him in reply, “It also says, ‘You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.’”

When the devil had finished every temptation, he departed from him for a time.

It replaced PBB, if im not mistaken, and has Angelica Panganiban playing the lead — or as they put it, the bida-contrabida. Im not sure if it is supposed to be drama or comedy cause I find it funny that Angelica wears really, really skimpy dresses to school (lol, not even getting suspended? lol), and full makeup at that. lol. Just funny.

Good thing she really is pretty, and sexy — no need for diet pills, having “more to love” is better anyway.

The show, by the way, also stars Shaina Magdayao and Diether Ocampo.
