My Summer Vacation, 2004: An Excerpt

Since I'm too lazy to retype everything...
For your reading "pleasure," this is my handwritten account of my summer vacation in Yangshuo and Dali, accompanied by Diane and Mendel (pssst... they're not a couple) . Apologies in advance for horrible penmanship.

The Simpsons Meets The Last Supper

And Because I"m Not Shallow...

After weeks of play, discovering (by accident) an "optimal" seating position to get the best view of the game, and not paying attention to the points until the end of the game, not only did I make second and third highest score in Bejeweled 2 Deluxe, but more importantly I beat Bebot, who make it look so easy, so smugly.

Eat that, ya bastiches, twice over!

"This Weekend in News..." (Thanks, Reuters!)

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Indian eye doctors have asked a court to ban a movie in which the heroine sees ghosts after a cornea transplant, saying it will scare off donors and patients.
The same doctors will soon look to also have the following movies, already released, taken off video shelves: Idle Hands, Return to Me, The Man with Two Brains, Body Parts, The Animal and Edward Penishands.

BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese city has taken its fight on corruption to the bedroom, ordering officials to own up to extramarital affairs in the hope of keeping public money out of the hands of mistresses.
In other news, former Philippine President Jopeph Estrada has cancelled all imagined future trips to China.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) -Upset villagers came to Maranhao state capital Sao Luis on Wednesday claiming the police had demolished their hamlet of Vila Baghdad instead of a squatters settlement about five miles away.
Sorry, mon, but all dem houses look so alike...

What, No Applause?

Caught bits of British MP George Galloway's testimony at the US Senate. Man, he seemed to tear them new ones. What I always liked about British politicians is how they can deliver a speech w/o looking at a script. It's almost cinematic. I was half-expecting some cheers from the audience after Galloway's chastising of the Senate. His Scottish accent already has made-for-TV producers looking for Sean Connery to star.


Dennis Franz+Anthony Hopkins= this guy.

Now THAT's Love

I've been anti-smoking (as opposed to anti-smoker) for as long as I can remember. Though my stance on the issue has lightened somewhat (for example, New York and Makati City's anti-smoking laws are ridiculous), the advertising strategies some cigarette companies would use to entice the local market can still make me bust a gut laughing... and maybe just snicker like a bad cartoon villain. Case in point:


You know, there's nothing like trying to win the approval of your ladylove's folks with a carton of cigarettes.

Jade

Today we celebrated the baptism and first birthday of my niece, Jade Lianne Co Santos. As with Ryan last week the baptism was in Greenhills. Different priest, but the same guy who did Jasmine's and Mia's baptism before. I figured out it was the same priest when he went over the same "skits" for the godparents to perform. Once again I took on the role of videographer.

The birthday girl!

Appropriately enough the lunch party was at the Jade Garden restaurant. When I got home to view the video, I realized my mistake of taping in widescreen format. Seems the 16:9 ratio won't translate on your standard tv without an S-video cable. Right now the video looks like a that "compressed" copy of Star Wars I used to watch.


This is Ryan, who turned 1 a week before.
