Humo Banned Commercial

This TVC is so damn funny that I almost died laughing for 10 seconds. I believe this is a banned condom commercial from Europe. Belgium, perhaps? I think you should watch it if you want to get ecstatic even for just a few seconds. So brilliant. Click the link below to view video.

On TV: Lem Pelayo Unzipped

Lemuelle Pelayo, of the zipper-mo-bukas Voice Choco Sandwich commercial, is Simply Manila's newest addition to The Bonbon Series. Thanks to Mercator Model Management, Inc., Lem got a place in multiple TV commercials for Voice, Doublemint, McDonald's, etc. He's currently studying in Lyceum.

Still remember Bruce Quebral?

He looks so horny right here but, sorry, it seems that he doesn't need more help.

Meet Alvin Montilla

Mr. Vince Lopez's recent post in Multiply features Alvin Montilla (whosoever knew the guy, please educate us). It seems that my friend Lopez is quite in the mood to update his site regularly again. He was happy to share that this portfolio shoot with Montilla was his first photo shoot done in the swimming pool. The guy reminded me of Deejay Durano (of the TV series Marina). Do you think they're related in their past lives? Click here to visit Vince Lopez Photography. Continue reading to see more Montilla pictures.

Flickering Moments

Photographs can say a thousand words, and for what its worth, I won't mind sharing my personal shots to thousands of readers everyday. Here's a link to my personal memories posted in Flickr.com. Enjoy.

For Future Reference

Few hours left before my shift, I explored the rest of the unpopular stores in TriNoma to check the hippest thing they could offer. (I only thought they're less visited that time, but I'm not sure if they still are on weekends and other time of the day.) I found a few stores that could be helpful for future reference: the best place to leave kids, to buy DVDs, to get gifts from, to shop for cute-sy furniture, among others. Of course, TriNoma has an array of great restaurants and food parlors, too. This time, Aso and I went to North Park for lunch and later that day, I went to Bigoli for my early dinner.

Happy Birthday

I wanna do the right thing and show to the world that I care. Though we celebrated this special day in advance last Monday, may the spirit of independence will stay in your heart and always. Happy Independence Day, my beloved country. Of course, let's not forget this guy who was brought into fame after making our independence official exactly 110 years ago.

Meet Craig Wing

Craig Wing (born 26 December 1979 in Sidney, New South Wales) is an Australian professional rugby league player, and one good reason why he’s featured as Simply Manila’s new bonbon is because he’s half Filipino. But to be more truthful, I was thinking that he’s actually one hot bonbon you shouldn't miss. He looked so buff to me, and I ain't complaining. It's just, you know, that feeling when you eat a jawbreaker. If you know what I mean.

Dennis Trillo Strips

Seen this video first in Mig's blog and I just can't help but admire the courage of this actor to dance like a total whore for this new series called Magdusa Ka (lit. Suffer). Dennis Trillo, that sexy actor you've seen in many GMA series before, is now back as a club stripper (or so I thought). He looked somehow serious in his new role, at times laughable and trying too hard. But for some people like me who never saw a real stripper before, Trillo is almost convincing. I heard a lot of rumors that GMA shows are cheap (or something to that effect) so I hope this show could offer something new and valuable to its viewers.

Private Experiment

I was just simply applying and experimenting on this new thing I discovered not too long ago, that is: making use of a coffee filter to diffuse a camera’s flash on close-ups. I also discovered how to set up this timer thing for my camera so I got like 10 seconds to pose like a total cam-whore. It was fun.

Friday Malling

Last Friday, Aso and I went to SM Mall of Asia (after our brief appearance at the DFA for some serious stuff about my passport application) and tried the “ice skating” thing. It was our first time to give this thrilling activity a shot and, God knows, how I hardly tried to enjoy every piece of it. The Philippines is a tropical country and seeing a huge expanse of ice is quite a new thing for us. So I guess it’s natural to feel the way I felt (and to look the way I looked) when I was in the middle of that ice rink. But it was definitely one of the most memorable experiences I had these days.

No Matter How Small

It is hard to distinguish those things that could make us happy from the ones that could not. More often than not, we rely on cynical assumptions and urgent excitements when we decide to commit on things that we thought could make our day. Sadly, at the end of the day, we eventually realize that they’re nothing but a total waste of time, money and effort.

Capricorns, like me, as they said, will leave one thing once bored. It would really take such a great deal to make them happy and satisfied. But keeping them happy and satisfied is a totally different story. I, for instance, always judge one thing by simply looking at its packaging and appearance. If I feel it’s not worth a penny, I would simply ignore them and move on to the next item. If I find it cute or somehow gives me that little excitement inside, I would give it a try even if it will somehow cost me. It would really make me happy for the time being, but once my patience has been challenged and what seems to be a nice view turned out to be an ugly trash, I would simply back off and vanish from the scene.

For some purchases, of course, you cannot simply shrink back once you feel they’re not working well for you. Maybe you’re just too preoccupied on some things that are even more worthless—the ultimate distractions. In that case, you tend to forget the things you’ve been committed to already. You lost your focus. You really need to get back with the old system, for there are purchases that could not be simply returned.

Most likely, there will be days when we really need to rethink what we have done or start to re-appreciate the things that we used to like. Maybe not because we feel that we have no more good choices but because, in one way or another, we start to realize that to be sorry isn’t really a good feeling. It is nice to look back and evaluate the reasons that lured us into making those unwise moves—no matter how big or small they are. Sometimes, we need to make some alterations and learn from the errors.
