Manila na me

That's right.

I stopped posting my day to day provincial "escapades" because I found out the my phone bill has reached its all-time high. The amount of my web browsing charges exceeded even my call charges, which is weird and impractical. Mas mura pa ang subscription sa SMART Wi-Fi kesa sa data charges ko this month. Sabi nga ng Love Radio, "Bisyo na'to!"

So now I can "bloog" without using my phone because I'm back here in polluted Manila. Let me get started.

There is so much to look forward to this 2006. The most exciting is the date June 6, 2006 because it shall appear as:

06-06-06

Armageddon in the making! Be afraid of 6! Even if 6 is afraid of 7!

I lied about the other things to look forward to in 2006. Actually, I can't think of anything to look forward to in this year of the dog. Well maybe Shake Rattle & Roll 2k7 or Mano Po 5.

Speaking of the year of the dog, I was born on a dog year. This is a little confusing because I was born in January of 1983. Using the non-chinese calendar, I could have been a pig. BUt since this is chinese zodiac, I'll use the chinese calendar, and that will make me a dog. (Which is not a very good thing according to feng-shui advisers. Dogs aren't so lucky daw in the dog year.)

By the way, meet our farm dogs, Boone and Shannon.

Boone likes Coca-Cola.



Shannon likes Cosmos.

They're happy dogs and the pictures show one of their tricks (If you say PLAY SAD! They'll look sad). They're leashed because when they roam free, they eat what is euphemistically known as "chicken droppings."

I'm so sleepy. Haven't had much sleep last night.

Oh. In the tradition of our Campaign For Unreal Beauty, I encourage you to vote for Starstruck's Sara Larsson. Wala lang. Just for fun. Kasi she's perceived to be the least talented. You can vote for her by clicking her picture at least once every hour at www.starstruck.tv , or if your budget permits, by texting STARSTRUCK SARA to 4627 (Smart) or 2364 (others). Let's support her. Please please please.

If you're not following Starstruck closely, you can read comprehensive blow-by-blow, episode-by-episode coverage and commentaries at the immensely popular www.pinoy.rickey.org (where I started the Vote Sara campaign. Hahaha)

I'm so addicted to Starstruck. It's my guilty pleasure. Haha. Last season, Jillsabs and I correctly picked the eventual winners. This year, my personal favorites are Iwa Moto, because she's bursting with spunk and star appeal, and Marky, because like me, he's a northern mountain boy, and we northern mountain boys are talented. Haha. take that Bugz Daigo!
