What I love about the Philippines: Indestructible Houses

First off I just want to apologize for not writing about the things I love for the longest time, and now back by popular demand is another issue of “What I love about the Philippines” and this time in line with the hurricane and typhoon season it’s about how strong Filipino houses are compared to American Houses.

What I love about the Philippines: Church Choirs

Okay okay, enough of the hating and start participating. When we talk about the Philippines all we say is how much we hate it. Dang! most if not all websites even complain about it, from politics to traffic to whatever. What about the good stuff? We always complain and yet we are here to stay. So why not talk about why we love our country, and here’s my tribute….. What I love about the Philippines.

One of those things I love are Church Choirs….

What were they thinking!?: Taxpayer special carplates!

So okay, now this is way beyond me. Why would they create such vanity plates saying “Taxpayer” on it? Doesn’t most people pay taxes. What about people like me? We pay our taxes, don’t we also get those special plates so I can be exempted from the traffic scheme in Manila.

I’m not sure if it’s the MMDA or some other organization did the plates, but what were you thinking? Bad thing to put on plates. You could’ve at least placed in like something like “Alay Lakad” like the last time.

All of the hardworking Filipinos are taxpayers so please for the love of everything holy, stop using it on cars.

What were they thinking!?: Kris on Bench

Sorry I haven’t beenv writing peeps. Anyways, here’s a new edition for y’all It’s called “What were they thinking!?”. You know like crazy ideas maybe marketing maybe something else but in nutshell….a very bad idea!!!

Ok, now for our first edition, let’s do something a little mainstream…. Kris Aquino! Okay Bench, what were you thinking!? First off, I feel sorry for people who pass by the Magallanes Interchange, what a great way to start your day diba? Seeing a picture of a wet look Kris Aquino, it’s just not right and it’s not fair. Bench with great products and lots of goodlooking models can not come up with a better slogan that the slutness of Kris.

I have to admit, Kris doesn’t look bad. She kinda reminds me of Mariah Carey, shoot from only one angle which is the good one and nothing else but they kinda went overboard. I’m sorry Kris but it ain’t a pretty site just like you driving a ferrari in that San Miguel Beer commercial. I kinda feel sorry for that top advertising that San Miguel hired, who ever came out with that commercial should get bitch slap all over metro manila.

Anyways, it goes to show how much shallow most of us filipinos are or how much shallow most advertising firms think we are. A word for Kris, you can’t mingle R and GP out in the market, you have to pick just 1. There are a few exceptions like Eula Valdes and Dina Bonnevie(don’t know if i spelled their names right). They are ageless beauties just like Rene Russo and Michelle Pfieffer. And Bench, I think you have a better use for Kris than advertising Underwear.
