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%.
