An Open Note to China

Mike Enriquez on Jessica Sanchez:

'Para sa mga kaibigan nating Chinese, nililinaw lang natin na si Jessica Sanchez ay Pilipina. Baka kasi angkinin nyo na naman ito.'

Hehehe. Katuwa lang.

Update: Jessica is now one of the two American Idol finalists. Tomorrow, she'll be performing against Phillip Phillip. Jessica is an early favorite and I really hope she wins this season. I am not an American Idol fan but, hey, it's a Filipino who's about to win! And this is not just a simple contest. This is a worldwide phenomenon!

You think you've got balls?

Wanna know what "having balls" means in real life? Well, research Walden Bello (that's double "l", else, you might find someone involved in the cosmetics/beauty industry). The guy has balls! He, and some other congressmen, landed in a contested island in the Kalayaan Group of Islands, declared the place as a Philippine territory, and uttered these words:

We come in peace, we support a diplomatic solution. But let there be no doubt in any foreign power's mind that if they dare to eject us from Pagasa... Filipinos will not take that sitting down.

Oh yeah, this is The Man!

At first I thought that was too irresponsible of him. I mean, other parties claiming the islands are China and Vietnam. But after seeing the map below, I think Walden Bello should be declared a national hero.

Is China even serious with its claims?! They probably took a bluetooth barcode scanner, and proclaimed:
"Hey, we used  state-of-the-art technology, and we have rights on these shores." Argh!

How to get to Taiwan from China without a passport (and vice versa)

I saw a post in Facebook just a while ago and it gives a detailed instruction how one can go to Taiwan from China (or I guess from any part of the world to anywhere at all for that matter) without a Passport/Visa. And the funny thing here is, this is actually from Google.

Are you familiar with Google Maps? Well, that is where you need to go to see the directions. Follow these carefully and you'll be to different places of the world in a matter of days.

1. Open Google Maps (directions)
2. Type in China as starting point
3. Type in Taiwan as destination
4. Read Step 48.

If you want to see what's in Step 48, see screenshot below.
