Adele: "That Fat Woman"

Adele was I thought a worst performer. The first time I saw her on TV, I told myself "that fat woman is too ambitious to invade the music industry. The NERVE!"

Never heard of her music until one day I decided to hide myself from priorities and deadlines. With one cup of coffee, I accidentally browsed a video where the kids of the late Philippine king of rap Francis M sing in chorus while on their way to school or wherever.The song was Rolling in the Deep.  (here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUDTw874n90 )

I started to love the beat as it was so foreign for me.Something new to the ear.Then, I started searching who is the artist and I found "Adele".God forgive me.

Don't judge the book by its cover. 

My judgement wasn't right.Although not all observations are right. From then on, I told again myself " This Big Fat British girl will surely hit the chart!".

There are more unidentified fault lines

A wrecked road in Negros after the earthquake

While following reports about the progress of the earthquake that jolted Cebu and Negros areas with magnitude 6.5 hours before this entry was posted, I was kinda disturbed of what Philvocs said over the national TV. " There are more unidentified fault lines in the Philippines"

The Philvocs officer revealed that Philippines has not yet possessed the sophisticated base mapping equipment that can detect blind faults.

Geologists [philvolcs] were surprised of what appeared to their reports after the killer earthquake hit the Visayas region. They have discovered one fault line after the quake and there will be more soon.

Stupid, isn't it?

All of my life, I believe we have the advanced tools making information technology updated especially to agencies that are responsible for the safety of this country Philvocs for example.

 How many government agencies there existing with limited bullets and weak fortress? How many times should we fool ourselves telling to the masses that we are now equipped to be a globally competitive in all aspects? When will we be awaken from the  long sleep in the bed of ignorance? When?

The justice system is dying. Corona? Don't ask me,he deserves to be crowned-- in hell.
Now, I am afraid that even Philvocs is losing the public trust.

I wouldn't be surprised if one day tsunami will hit Cebu again and Philvocs will just say " I am sorry we don't have the tool yet to detect this or to do that"

As per report,there were 13 casualties of the said quake. 13 promising people whose lives would have been brighter and maybe one of them has the brain to think of a solution of the crisis that we are facing now. Tsk tsk.

More fun in the Philippines? Okeeeyy..

KC exposes her ass' shape

When KC guested in The Buzz and officially announced that she will be leaving the show, comments about her new hair cut became a popular talk in social networks.There is actually a big reason behind the new hair. The ROGUE, a men's magazine, featured celebrity on cover.

Her experience with Piolo Pascual, being the new celebrity victim of love, forced the UN ambassador to take a daring pose.

Why?

To let go of her 2011 heart-breaking experience? Or to prove to that boy, who is still keeping his self inside the closet, that KC has moved on? Bottomline, had it not been for that break-up, she would not venture to this pose. ( Pose na pagpyepyestahan ng kalalakihan).

"Women have a strength they might not always believe they have... • And that's what my ROGUE Jan/Feb 2012 mag issue is all about." KC tweeted.

As I can see it, KC wanted to show off her sexiness to make Piolo realize how stupid he is for breaking her and to show Piolo's gayfriend [ este...] girlfriends that she has the body. Or maybe, she just wanted to teach Piolo how to undress and he might as well join the sexy pose. Lol.

It rains fish in Agusan del Sur

In my whole life, this is the weirdest report I have read.Here are some details I got from Philstar.

Residents of Agusan de Sur, southern part of Mindanao,Philippines were surprised after hearing heavy drops from their rooftop. They were more surprised when they discovered that fishes stuck on walls and fell on roofs

Fisheries officials described the 3-inch fish is like a mudfish with streaks of yellow and black on its belly.

"I was shocked to see some fishes on my roof and in the walls of my house," said village councilor Eliseo Ong, adding that " I went out and collected some of them which were still alive."

Lolit Binalay, an official of the state weather bureau Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or Pagasa, suspected a waterspout which formed after the downpour could have sucked the fishes from a river or swamp and dumped them into the community.
