    My cats turn their noses up on Whiska's cat food and they wouldn't touch it unless they're really hungry. Friskie's meat/chicken cat food though is a different story, they gobble everything up right away so they can ask for more >.<

    Why do people insist on calling other people by their work designation even if they are outside the office. Whatever happened to names? It is annoying to hear in the workplace and even more so outside.

    On making a choice this 2010

    In a country where graft and corruption is a way of life for politicians; where convicts can run for the highest government post and people who marched the streets in contempt of his acts conveniently forget in exchange for a few favors and resolving to settle for the lesser evil; where people think not of the welfare of the country, but who they know and what politicians can do for them and their stature, I have no doubt at all that the 2010 race is still a toss up among those that have expressed interest to run. I just hope that for once, people will have sense enough to think of this country. The uneducated masa have illiteracy, lack of understanding and the need to provide a decent meal for their family as an excuse to dance to any beat that the trapos want them to, but for the learned ones, we have to be responsible enough to make an unbiased decision regardless of  who is your padrino and who can put you ahead.

    New Gay World Ambassador for the Philippines Named


    The Mr. Gay World pageant, now aptly renamed Gay World Ambassador, aims to identify global leaders that will represent the gay sector to a global stage and talk about equal rights and acceptance. That and of course the usual display of the hunkiest gay guys vying for a chance to represent the country in the international competition to be held in Oslo, Norway in 2010.

    This year's winner and top crowd favorite is Fil-American David Bosley. He bested 18 other candidates and won the votes of famous celebrity judges including Cannes Best Director Brillante Mendoza, movie/TV writer-director Wenn Deramas, comedienne Eugene Domingo, actress and gay icon Cherie Gil, fashion designer Renee Salud and actor BB Gandanghari.

    The event was graced by Mister Gay World president and founder Eric Butter, who also expressed interest in staging the international contest here in the Philippines next year.

    Maricar Reyes



    There's one reason to watch the local version of Lovers in Paris. It ain't Piolo nor KC. It's Maricar Reyes. ♥ her. It has been a while since someone so regal has graced local TV. She is the complete opposite of the more popular actresses na sobrang palengkera or sobrang trying when you give them roles where they have to appear educated or may breeding. Looking forward to see more of her :)

    Pics taken off my first Ocean Park visit with Jae and Reg. The place was pretty interesting but the the P400 entrance fee is a bit pricy for what it is. Still, it was worth looking into but I'd really think twice about going back unless maybe they come up with a repeat visit discount or something.


    To get us in a Little Mermaid mode, Jae and Reg went on a Part of Your World and Under the Sea medley with Reg doing a Sebastian impersonation.  Still that was pretty much the highlight of the tour as the huge aquarium itself was pretty meh and unimpressive.



    We concluded the day by pigging out in an Italian deli in Robinson's Place, Manila and three big cups of Gelato. Now, doesn't ice cream just make everything better?

    Church welcomes married priests



    AOL Reports:

    (Oct. 20) -- The number of married Catholic priests could grow sharply as the result of the Vatican's epochal decision to welcome thousands of disaffected Anglicans and Episcopalians into the Catholic church.

    At press conferences in Rome and London on Tuesday, Vatican officials announced that the church would set up a special canonical structure that will ease the conversion of members of the Anglican Communion without them having to give up what the Vatican called "the distinctive Anglican spiritual and liturgical patrimony." That means not only a body of prayers and hymns, but also a tradition of married priests and bishops.

    "It's a stunning turn of events," says Lawrence Cunningham, theology professor at Notre Dame University. "This decision will allow for many more married clergy in Western churches, and that's going to raise anew the question, 'If they can do it, why can't the priests of Rome?'" says Cunningham. "I can already picture the electronic slugfest on the Internet in coming days and weeks."
    The Catholic church already allows clergymen who convert from Protestant denominations to remain married on a case by case basis, and married priests are common in the Eastern Rite, a group that uses Orthodox traditions but is loyal to Rome. (More...)


    Err, pasensya na kung mejo slow ako. But does this also mean that priests who were previously shunned out by the Church for having a family can now marry and get welcomed back into the congregation? What about existing priests? Can they now opt to marry? If I am not getting ahead of myself here, that could mean hoards of married priests in the near future. Not to mention single ladies flocking on churches as a new hunting ground for eligible "good" guys.
