How Boyish/Girlish Are You?

You Are 70% Boyish and 30% Girlish
You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.
You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

Still Standing

Ems texted me today that it's exactly one year since her ex (well, not her ex technically but practically, hehe) told her of his uhh dirty little secrets. And that she's still alive and kickin'...

Way to go, Ems!

The Creation Story: Visayan Version

To all non-Cebuano speaking readers, just click on this link to check out the English version.

Sa kanhiay nga panahon, may duha ka makagagahum nga nagpuyo sa langit, si Kaptan ug si Maguayan. Nahigugma si Kaptan kang Maguayan ug kini iyang gipangasawa. Usa ka adlaw, sama sa sagad mahitabo sa usa ka magtiayon, nagkabingkil si Kaptan ug Maguayan. Sa kasuko ni Kaptan iyang gihinginlan ang iyang asawa. Dakung kahiubos nga nibiya si Maguayan.

Samtang nahanaw ang diyosa, ang diyos nga Kaptan giabut ug kamingaw. Nahiuknol siya sa kahinanali sa iyang nabuhat sa iyang asawa. Apan ulahi na aron mangayo siya ug pasaylo. Gilatas niya ang tibuok nga kalangitan, apan wala niya mapalgi si Maguayan. Sama sa aso nga nahanaw ang diyosa.

Aron mahupay ang iyang kamingaw, ang nagbasul nga diyos nagmugna sa kalibutan ug nagtanum ug kawayan sa hardin nga ginganlan ug Kahilwayan. Nagtanum usab siya ug humay, mais, ug tubo. Niining maong mga tanum, ang kawayan maoy kusog nga nilambo. Nitubo kini ug nahimong usa ka maanindot nga kahoy kansang mga malagomang bulos ug mga malabalahibong dahon nagkawaykaway sa hinuyuhoy sa hangin.

Samtang nagsud-ong sa kaanindot sa iyang gimbuhatan, giabut ug dakung kahimuot ang gamhanan nga Kaptan. "Ah," pangagho niya, "unta kon ania lamang si Maguayan, malipay gayud siyang magtan-aw ning matahum nga talan-awon ug mamati sa hinuyuhoy sa hangin ug kasikas sa mga dahon!"

Ang kawayan nipadayon paglambo. Ang hardin nahimong labi pang matahum matag adlaw. Unya, usa ka hapon, samtang si Kaptan nagasud-ong sa mga dahon nga nagkawaykaway sa huyuhoy, usa ka hunahuna misantop sa iyang alimpatakan ug, una niya matugkad kon unsa kadto, nakahunghong siya sa iyang kaugalingon, "Magmugna ako ug makaalima niining mga tanum."

Sa wala damha and kawayan nasiak ngadto sa duha ka bahin. Sa usang bahin nilutaw ang unang tawo. Ginganlan ni Kaptan ang tawo ug Sikalak, pangalan nga nagkahulugan "binuhat nga malig-on." Mao kini nga sukad niadto ang mga kaliwat ni Sikalak ginatawag ug lalak o lalaki, sa laktud. Unya, sa laing katunga nga bahin sa nasiak nga kawayan nilutaw ang ikaduhang binuhat. Ginganlan siya sa diyos ug Sikabay, pangalan nga nagkahulugan "gabay sa binuhat nga malig-on." Sukad niadto, ang iyang mga kaliwat ginatawag ug sibabaye o babaye, sa laktud.

Nagtambayayong ang duha ka binuhat sa pag-alima sa hardin ug pagtagad sa mga tanum. Sa laing bahin, si Kaptan nipanaw sa halayo aron pagpangita kang Maguayan. Usa ka adlaw, samtang wala ang diyos, gihangyo ni Sikalak si Sikabay nga magminyo sila. Apan ang babaye nidumili. "Di ba managsoon man kita?" masubsob nga pahimangno sa babaye ngadto sa lalaki.

"Tinuod bitaw. Apan wala'y uban nga mga tawo dinhi ning hardin," nangatarungan si Sikalak. "Ug gikinahanglan nato nga duna kita'y mga anak nga mobulig kanato sa pag-alima ning dakung yuta nga gipiyal sa atong agalon kanato."

Ang babaye wala manumbaling.

"Nasayud ko," iyang tubag, "apan ikaw akong igsoon. Natawo kitang duha gikan sa usa lamang ka bulos nga kawayan, diin usa lamang ka buko ang naglambigit kanato."

Sa ngadto-ngadto, human sa panaglalis, sila nagpakitambag sa mga tulingan sa dagat ug sa mga pati sa kahanginan. Ang mga isda ug ang mga pati nitugot nga sila magminyo. Tungod kay wala pa gihapon si Sikabay nakumbinse, nikonsulta siya sa linog, kansa nitugot usab sa iyang kaminyoon.

"Kinahanglan nga kamo magminyo," matud sa linog, "aron ang kalibutan matawhan."

Busa si Sikalak ug si Sikabay nagminyo. Ang una nilang anak lalaki ug kini ilang gihinganlan ug Sibu. Unya ang sunod nilang anak babaye, ug kini ilang gihinganlan ug Samar.

Thanks

To everyone on this planet who remembered... much thanks! You have made a seemingly ordinary day special. Mwah!

What Does Your Birthdate Mean?

Your Birthdate: *Secret*

Your birth on the *bleep* day of the month modifies your life path by giving you some special interest in technical, scientific, or other complex and often hard to understand subjects. You may become something of a perfectionist and a stickler for details. Your thinking is logical and intuitive, rational and responsible. Your feelings may run deep, but you are not very likely to let them show. This birthday makes you a more private person, more introspective and perhaps more inflexible. In friendships you are very cautious and reserved. You are probably inventive, and given to unique approaches and solutions.

Why Women Find It Hard to Find the Man of their Dreams

This was forwarded. Hmm.. makes sense, somewhat. :)

1. The nice men are ugly.
2. The handsome men are not nice.
3. The handsome and nice men are gay. -- OMG, so true! hehehe...
4. The handsome, nice and heterosexual men are married.
5. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men, have no money.
6. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men with money think we are only after their money.
7. The handsome men without money are after our money.
8. The handsome men, who are not so nice and somewhat heterosexual, don't think we are beautiful enough.
9. The men who think we are beautiful, that are heterosexual, somewhat nice and have money, are cowards.
10. The men who are somewhat handsome, somewhat nice and have some money and thank God are heterosexual, are shy and NEVER MAKE THE FIRST MOVE!!!!
11. The men who never make the first move, automatically lose interest in us when we take the initiative.
    

"Men are like a fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's our job, to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something you'd like to have dinner with."

The Emmy's

Yeah! My favorite primetime ladies walked away with Emmy's:

• Patricia Arquette for Medium -- i love the fact that she's not thin


• Felicity Huffman for Desperate Housewives -- i love the fact that she's not your cute and perky blonde... oh, and she's married to William H. Macy :)

PS. Yay for Tony Shalhoub! Love the guy... He was so underrated for the longest time. And James Spader for Boston Legal (another David Kelley creation). And Lost. Last hurrah for Everybody Loves Raymond :)

The Other 10%

Ems, I finally found the article!

------

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.

"Wow, this girl in my office is a real looker. But it's not her Wynona Rider features that got me. I'm crazy about her because she's also understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my spouse is not." Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be more charming or sensitive. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer. Have greater sex appeal. And you will find a woman or man who will need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your spouse ever did. Because no wife or husband is perfect. Because a spouse will only have 90% of what you're looking for. So adultery takes place when a husband or wife looks for the missing 10 %.

Let's say your wife is melancholic by nature. You may find yourself drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cherry laugh no matter what she says: "I broke my arm yesterday, Ha ha ha ha . . ." Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pajamas, smelling of garlic and fish oil, you may fall for a fresh-smelling young sales representative that visits your office in a sharp black blazer, high heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt. Or because your husband is the quiet type, your heart may skip a beat when you meet an old college flame who has the makings of a talk show host.

But wait!

That's only 10% of what you don't have. Don't throw away the 90% that you already have! Add to your spouse's 90% the 100% that represents all the years that you have been with each other. The storms you have weathered together. The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a couple. The many adjustments you have made to love the other. The wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers. Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have. But faithfulness happens when you start thanking God for what you already have.

But I'm not just talking about marriage. I'm talking about life! About your jobs. About your friends. About your children. About your lifestyles. Are you like the economy airline passenger that perennially peeks through the door of the first class cabin, obsessed with what he's missing? "They have got more leg room! Oh my, their food is served in porcelain! Wow, their seats recline at an 80% angle and they've got personal videos!" Guarantee you'll be miserable for the entire trip! Don't live your life like that. Forget about what the world says is first class. Do you know that there are many first class passengers who are miserable in first class - because they're not riding in a private Jet?

The main message: If you start appreciating what you have right now, wherever you are IS first class!

Why People Want to Remain In Prison Forever

There was this study that focused on chronic lawbreakers. Prisoners, once they have served their sentence, intentionally break laws just to get back to prison. Now I know why...

Have a nice day peeps!

In Prison: You spend the majority of your time in an 8x10 cell.
At Work: You spend most of your time in a 6X8 cubicle.

In Prison: You get time off for good behavior.
At Work: You get rewarded for good behavior with more WORK.

In Prison: A guard locks and unlocks the doors for you.
At Work: You must carry around a security card and unlock open all the doors yourself.

In Prison: You can watch TV and play games.
At Work: You get fired for watching TV and playing games.

In Prison: All expenses are paid by taxpayers with no work at all.
At Work: You get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for the prisoners. -- dammit, this is so unfair!

In Prison: You spend most of your life looking through the bars from the inside wanting to get out.
At Work: You spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars.

Coffee Beans For Your Brain

Time off from your boring jobs...

-----

Find the man between the coffee beans.

Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in 3 seconds, your right half of your brain is better developed than most people.

If you find the man between 3 seconds and one minute, then your right half of the brain is developed normally.

If you find the man between one minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly and you need to eat more protein.

If you have not found the man after 3 minutes your right half of your brain is a mess, and the only advice is to look more for these types of exercises to make that part of the brain stronger.

The man really is there.

In fact, once you find him, you cannot miss him afterwards.



I found the man in one second, does that make me abnormal? :))

3 Pinoy Boxers Win Today

A dose of of good news after months of bad press for us. Manny Pacquiao, Fil-American Brian Viloria and 19-year old Rey Bautista won their respective fights.

Both Viloria and Pacquiao knocked their opponents out. Scary pala to si Viloria, his Mexican opponent in a previous match landed in the hospital for months and could not fight professionally anymore. His knockout of Ortiz was also painful, the Mexican was flat on his back, bloodied and bruised.


In the Pacquiao-Velazquez fight, it looked like Pacquiao had his work cut out for him. Velazquez boxed as if he was aiming for a knockout talaga. Pero one thing nice about the Pac-Man is that he studies his opponents' styles and movements inside the ring. He did some nice lateral movements, galing ng footwork kaya medyo nahilo sa kakasunod siguro si Velazquez who was a bit of a traditional boxer. Manny also showcased his new right hook, which, was quite surprisingly malakas knowing he's a leftie.

Bautista also knocked put his opponent during the 3rd round. Tuwang tuwa si Freddie Roach syempre as all boxers work out at the Wildcard Gym :)

Meanwhile, Raheem managed to defeat Morales by unanimous decision. But that does not mean the Pacquiao-Morales rematch scheduled for January 2006 will be scrapped. Gold mine yata yan for the sponsors hehe...

Tidbits:

• The WWE's Undertaker was part of Manny's entourage, carrying the US flag while Christian was at Manny's back during the weigh-in. Both are reportedly big fans of the Pac-Man.
  
• The song being played during Manny's entrance was composed by apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas.
• Freddie Roached underwent at least 4 costume changes during the televised matches :)

Teddy Cow

A picture of Teddy, Nix and Maita's baby boy... walking?! :)) Hehe..

Teddy debuted on TV via Breakfast at Studio 23 for Bumblebee, a company that his mommy Maita runs with friends. Bumblebee makes cute costumes for kids, great for the coming Halloween. Kate was supposed to appear but probably had a bout of shyness just before the cameras rolled.





"Do you like my costume?"
