Efren Penaflorida's Angel

Have you watched The Bottomline a while ago? Well, a friend of mine called me to say hi, then dropped the phone right after that saying she's about to sleep already. (Tumawag pa! Peace! hehehe) So, since was I up already and cannot go back to sleep right away, I turned on the TV and saw this segment of The Bottomline.

Anyway, the guest was Efren Penaflorida, CNN's 2009 Hero of the year. And for those readers who haven't heard of this before, let me just say that the award is probably the next best thing (or a contender) after Nobel Peace Prize. Google it.

One of the most interesting conversations between Boy and Efren was when the latter was asked who his crush is. And Efren categorically said it was Angel Locsin. A follow up question went like this: "Liligawan mo ba?" (Will you court/pursue her.) And Efren's answer was "Just help me pray for her". (In the latter part of the show, Efren confirmed that he wanted to court her.)

Now, the question is: Do you think these two people can and will hit it off? I mean, that's Angel Locsin right there. (Oops! Should I have said 'That's CNN's Hero of the Year right there!') If or when Efren asks Angel out, do you think Angel will go with him? Please don't get me wrong. It's just that, this is really not something we usually see... a topnotch celebrity and a social worker... di ba?

If the two will become a couple in the future, the CNN's Hero of the Year Award is going to be #1 in my 2010 To Dos. Yeah, and this post will soon become a reality!

PS: Merry Christmas everyone!

Happiness

Happiness is overrated...

...you can be happy without it.

What a Coincidence!

Around this time last year, something happened (details here). For some unexplainable reason, after 365 days, it's happening again...

Bow. :-)

I Want Some Loot!

Now, I once said that KG can beat Pope John Paul in terms of the number of places traveled/visited. I don;t know, maybe she has done that already. You see, KG is the most traveled person I know. (Didn't you get a memo for missing many work-days/weeks at that top secret BPO company? Hehehe.)

Anyone, she has this contest. In case you are interested to join, please visit her site. And yes, this is my entry. :-)

My 3 favorite places.

1. Boston, MA.

This is somewhere in the Boston Public Garden. The picture you are seeing is just like a lagoon (parang sa UP, hehehe) but for some reason, I really loved the place! I promised myself I will be back here soon. (A friend of mine invited me here a year ago but due to financial concerns, I wasn't able to make it -- but I will. Soon.)

I'd say this still part of #1, after all, they are both in the same country as #1. Anyway, let me just say, seeing these two structures that are symbolic of the country that dictates foreign and national policies of many other countries is very satisfying. (That's the PolSci kid in me. :-))

2. Siargao

The dream of seeing this majestic island was conceived when I was in college, and materialized when I was still in KG, mordsith, and Rico's top secret company. Other than the night life (or lack of it), the place is perfect.

See exhibits A (left: the Naked Island -- and the girl is not naked, but gorgeously sexy) and B (right: Cloud 9, the place where the International Surfing Cup is almost always held).

3. EK!

I know this is not really a "travel"destination but hey, this is a place, right? It's not that I really, really loved the place; the circumstances when we were there is just awesome -- I think we owned the place that time.

Hahaha! Just imagine these magnificent rides... plus there are no queues anywhere at all! Saan ka pa?!

Three places I dream of going to (I'll just let the pictures do the talkine...)

1. Switzerland

XXX

2. Cambodia

XXX

3. Bora Bora

XXX

So, that's it! Sana mapuntahan ko man lang kahit kalahati ng lugar na napuntahan ni KG. :-)

I Miss Web 2.0

There are so many things I want to write about: Maguindanao Massacre and/or Ampatuan, 2010 Presidential Elections, GMA running for Congress, the idea of corruption as a privilege, and so many more. But I don't know which one to choose. So, for now, I am leaving you with this:

Have a great day, Guys.
