"MISS UNIVERSE 2015: THE BIGGEST THRILLER OF THE YEAR"

THE MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT 2015 IS THE BIGGEST THRILLER OF THE YEAR, THANKS BUT NO THANKS TO PROGRAM HOST STEVE HARVEY WHO RUINED NOT ONLY THE GOOD REPUTATION OF THE PAGEANT BUT ALSO THE LIVES OF MISS COLOMBIA AND MISS PHILIPPINES, ACCORDING TO MERRIAM WEBSTER THE SIMPLE DEFINITION OF THRILLER IS A STORY FULL OF EXCITING ACTION, MYSTERY, ADVENTURE OR SUSPENSE. IT IS ALSO A WORK OF FICTION OR DRAMA DESIGNED TO HOLD THE INTEREST BY THE USE OF A HIGH DEGREE OF INTRIGUE. THE MOST EXCITING PART OF THE PAGEANT IS WHEN THE CHOICES NARROWED DOWN TO ONLY TWO (2) BETWEEN COLOMBIA AND THE PHILIPPINES, THE PEOPLE IN THE GALLERY MOMENTARILY HOLD THEIR BREATH IN ANTICIPATION FOR THE FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF WHO WILL BE THE MISS UNIVERSE 2015. WHEN THE ENVELOPE WAS HANDED TO THE HOST TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNER, THE TREMBLING SOUND  OF HEARTBEATS WAS THE ONLY SOUND YOU CAN HEAR FROM THE GALLERY IT WAS SO INTENSE AND ALL ARE PRAYING FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE BET, WHEN THE HOST OPENED THE ENV...

A DISHWASHER ONCE

"A DISHWASHER ONCE" I WAS INSPIRED WITH THE STORY OF BOY LOGRO WHO STARTED WORKING AT THE EARLY AGE OF 10 AS MURO AMI (REEF HUNTER) AND BECAME AN ALL AROUND ASSISTANT IN A CHINESE RESTAURANT IN QUIAPO MANILA WHEN HE WAS 16 YEARS OLD. BEFORE HIS POPULAR SPIELS, “PING-PING-PING” AND “YUM-YUM-YUM” IN KAPUSO NETWORK ENCHANTED US ALL, BOY LOGRO WORKS HARDER BEFORE THE ELUSIVE LUCK KNOCKS ON HIS DOOR. HE WAS HIRED AS A DISHWASHER IN A FIRST CLASS SPANISH RESTAURANT IN MAKATI CITY. BOY LOGRO EVEN REMEMBER THOSE DAYS WHEN HE WASHED THE LONG PILES OF PANS IN THE KITCHEN. BEFORE WASHING THE DISHES, BOY LOGRO, TASTED THE LEFTOVERS AND ASKED THE CHEF ABOUT THE DISHES. ALL THE RECIPES WAS WRITTEN DOWN IN HIS POCKET NETEBOOK. CHEF VAL GONZAGA BECOMES HIS MENTOR, WELCOMED ALL HIS INQUIRIES AND SHARED WITH HIM ALL HE KNOWS. CHEF VAL GONZAGA EVEN PREDICTED THAT BOY LOGRO WOULD BE A BETTER CHEF ONE DAY. THROUGH A FOREIGN HOTEL GUEST WHO PRAISED THE FOODS PREPARED BY HIM, B...

THE ETHICS OF JOINING A GROUP

People join group for numerous reasons. Giving satisfaction is one of the major reasons why individual join a particular group. In the case of Honorable Councilor Karl Castelo, a member of the Majority Group of the 19 th Quezon City Council who transferred to the Minority Group, I presumed that he found this sense of personal satisfaction which he is unable to get from the previous group which he belong. Rightfully said, the new Leadership of the Minority group offered him a sensible position, the Chairmanship of the Committee on Energy, Water and other Natural Resources. However, we should bear in mind that any transfer of membership from one group to another must be in accordance with the highest ethical standard. The transferee shall properly notify his previous group in letter signifying his intention of leaving the group. Second, the transferee should seek the approval of the group and convince them that accepting him as a new member is the right thing they did and they ...

trick and magic

The May 13, 2013 Philippine National and Local election is almost over. Winners in the local level has been proclaimed. Local and National candidates use various tricks and magic just to ensure their winnability by all costs and means. Rumors spread in all corners of the Philippine archipelago unmasking the tricks and magic used by certain candidates. The famous line now is "Daang Matuwid" which was popularized by President Pinoy versus "Limang Daan" offered by crooked politicians for vote buying. Some resorted to "Patawag" it is a gathering of leaders for no other purpose but to buy their support for a certain candidates. For some this trick work but not for others. I am sure there are other tricks and magic better than these that you know but a good name cannot be pinned down.  Once your good name and reputation was tinted by these dirty tricks and magic your political career will be over. Let me remind the winning candidates that...

But take note we are now officially known as Airphil Express, FYI. :) — PAL Express (@airphilexpress) August 19, 2011 TODAY, WHILE READING A NEWSPAPERS, I MEET A NEW WORD THAT IS NOT VERY FAMILIAR TO ME. A WORD THAT IS SELDOM USED BUT VERY POWERFUL TO DESCRIBE SOMEONE WITH RESPECT TO HIS OR HER PERSONALITY.

THE WORD WAR BETWEEN THESE TWO STARTED OVER THE SO-CALLED PURPORTED "CHRISTMAS BONUS" ON HIS PART, ACCORDING TO SENATE PRESIDENT ENRILE, HE WAS MALIGNED BY HIS ENEMIES AND CRITICS AND PORTRAY HIM AS A "LIAR" AND "TRAITOR" AND CAST THE SENATE "UNDER THE CLOUD OF SUSPICION AS A HOUSE OF THIEVES." IN HIS FIGHTING FORM, ENRILE SAID, "HE IS TOO...
