I'll kill you with my clothes hanger! (Hieee-yah!!)



Ey, check out this dude whom I saw on my way to public commute.

Kulang na lang isuot nya ang underwear nya sa ibabaw ng maong nya (Batman!). Sorry for the rant, I just feel a bit, uhm, Carson-ish...

But if you want style, check her out.


That's Lexi.. and quoting a former boss "wow, glamorosa maski tulog!"

Fab five does mang jeepeney driver; New radical weight-loss diet

Currently the biggest news to hit the newspapers in July is not GMA's SONA, but the arrival of the Fab Five.

No, not the Beatles stupid(There's only four of them, and one of them is dead). It's the excessively queer Ted, Kyan, Carson, Jai and Thom, or otherwise known as the stars of the hit show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy".

If you are wondering why I'm writing about this, the answer is no, I'm not gay (true! ask Pam ... errr, OK, according to Channel 4's gay-o-meter I am 50% gay--and proud of it!). However once in a while when I catch the show while channel surfing, I do stay on a few minutes, and finish the episode if its really good (or when there's no Ultimate Fighting Championship on Solar Sports-- oh-ah!).

Who wouldn't want free clothes, a makeover (maybe even a free pedicure), and having your house entirely made up?

While they were here, I wonder if they had the chance to make over a Filipino?

If I was their local casting director, for maximum effect I'd get someone who has dirty fingernails, eats with his feet on the bench, wears sando to work, picks his pimples and facial hair with two 25-centavo coins, and picks his nose with reckless abandon. In other words, I'd nominate the next jeepney driver I ride with.

Regarding living quarters, I wonder what they'll say about the typical Filipino giant spoon and fork decorations in the kitchen? Or the last supper painting? OR the wall carpet with dogs playing billiards?

Hmmm, I wonder if Pam has already attempted to contact them.

Since we're on this Queer-Eye mode, I'd like to share a radical weight-loss regimen that I recently discovered: No-salt diet!

After two weeks of sodium chloride starvation, I went from 164lbs. to an unbelievable 152lbs! The first time I weighed after starting the diet, I thought the scale was broken.

Be forewarn though: eating without salt is more difficult than you think(It's like eating paper or boiled-but-clean underwear). In fact I cracked a few days ago and back having table salt in my diet (tsk-tsk). The good thing however is my weight it holding up (for now), and my salt level craving has probably gone down 25%.

'Jeopardy' champ Ken Jennings blasts show

'Jeopardy' champ Ken Jennings blasts show
Yahoo News Service [Tue Jul 25, 7:10 PM ET]


NEW YORK - "Jeopardy!" ace Ken Jennings, who won $2.5 million during his 74-game winning streak, has a few unkind words to say about the show — and dapper host Alex Trebek.

"I know, I know, the old folks love him," Jennings writes in a recent posting, titled "Dear Jeopardy!" on his Web site.

"Nobody knows he died in that fiery truck crash a few years back and was immediately replaced with the Trebektron 4000 (I see your engineers still can't get the mustache right, by the way)."

Jennings also takes aim at the show's "effete, left-coast" categories and "same-old" format.

"You're like the Dorian Gray of syndication," he says. "You seem to think `change' means replacing a blue polyethylene backdrop with a slightly different shade of blue polyethylene backdrop every presidential election or so."

A call by The Associated Press to "Jeopardy!" spokesman Jeff Ritter was not immediately returned Tuesday.

Jennings, a software engineer from Salt Lake City, snagged 74 wins on "Jeopardy!" in 2004 before he was beaten by challenger Nancy Zerg.

Trebek, 66, has hosted the show since 1984. In a "correction" posted Monday on his Web site, Jennings offers an apology of sorts.

"We regret the insinuation that Mr. Alex Trebek is a robot, and has been since 2004. Mr. Trebek's robotic frame does still contain some organic parts, many harvested from patriotic Canadian schoolchildren, so this technically makes him a `cyborg,' not a `robot.'"

This post is for Pam, who loves watching the show (and adores Trebektron 4000, yuck, hahaha)

Landis is the champ!

Isn't it ironic that a year after a cancer survivor won the toughest stage race in the planet a record 7 times, that he would be suceeded by someone who badly needs a hip replacement?


American Floyd Landis, who a few years ago raced as an unwanting domestique for Lance Armstrong, is this year's Tour de France champion. Despite racing with a arthritic hip for the past two years, the Phonak rider was able to ressurect an already scandal-ridden tour with his Lazarus-like performance in the last three stages.

Read how Landis story went here.

I think I know what Lance and Floyd were thinking on the sadle before they won their mallot jaunes, despite overwhelming personal odds: "After what I've been going through, it can't get any worse than this!"

Who knows, maybe in a few more years we'll see a kidney donor or recepient win the Tour de France.

No Salt? Big deal!

ORIGINALLY WRITTEN JUNE 6, 2006

I tried going on a no-salt diet.

First thought: "Salt? Big deal!"

Big deal until I tried cooking without salt. Everything tasted bland (paper bland). I tried putting paprika, turmeric, lemon, garlic powder, onion powder, anise, italian seasoning, curry powder, white pepper, black papper and the entire McCormik product line on fish, meat or poultry, but everything still tasted like paper. It came to a point that cooking became a big effort, and eating a chore.

I'm reminded of this bible passage c/o Armind:

"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men." -- Matthew 5:13
