So Weird!

Weird Al Yankovic, in his latest parody video "Perform This Way", made fun of Lady Gaga's eccentric wardrobe! The funnyman, who has never been shy about looking and acting strange, decided that maybe at the respectable age of 51, he isn't in the best shape for Gaga's revealing outfits, instead opted to CGI his face onto a woman's body, making for an even freakier parody of Gaga's outlandish looks.

Watching it was so weird! LOL! He made some sense that maybe..just maybe Lady Gaga may be crazy!!  :)

Kasal Ni IdoL

Last Sunday, June 19 2011, Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago was beaming in her Inno Sotto gown as she renewed her wedding vows at the Manila Cathedral.

The color of her gown, ruby, symbolizes her 40 years of marriage with former Interior Undersecretary Narciso "Jun" Santiago. She said in an interview that she feels like a blushing bride although she have, of course, to rectify the record by saying that I'm a veteran wife! hahaha she really makes me laugh! I never ever regret voting for her. She really stands by what she believes in :)

The wedding was attended by prominent figures in politics and business. President Benigno Aquino III (Best Man), Heart Evangelista (Maid of Honor),  former President Joseph Estrada (Principal Sponsor), former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (Principal Sponsor), Chief Justice Renato Corona (Principal Sponsor), former first lady Imelda Marcos (Principal Sponsor), GMA CEO Felipe Gozon (Principal Sponsor), Vice President Jejomar Binay, Mar Roxas with Korina Sanchez, Manny Pangilinan, Senator Manny Villar and his wife, Eduardo Danding Cojuangco Jr. and Dr. Emilio Yap.

 

Santiago, said she was very happy that many people attended despite the rainy weather.

 

"I'm very, very glad. They are accomplished men and women, so even with the bad weather or best weather, they have come because they have committed to come," she told reporters shortly before the wedding ceremony.

 

 

To Papa

Hi! Today is your day Papa! Happy Father's day! I want to thank you for raising us up. It must be hard but You did a great job! We turn up well! :)

I am now a Lady and in a few years I will have my own family. As days go by, being an adult is tough. There are a lot of responsibility to tackle ( I don't know why I wished years ago to be an adult! It seems so cool to be an adult when one is so young) and it's really a jungle in the real world.

Now that we (me and my siblings) are now all grown ups, you and Mama should just sit down and just take life easy. It's now our turn to raise you ! (haha)

We love you and all we are hoping and praying is for you to stop your vice (smoking is bad for your health). Take care!

From Your Daughter

Miley Cyrus in Manila

At long last Miley is here!  :) I am really really hoping that my friend will be able to give me some tickets for her concert tonight! I only have a few more hours left!! :)

Miley Cyrus arrived in Manila, Philippines late Wednesday night, June 16, 2011. And at around noon of that day (even though she only have 2 hrs of sleep!), Miley Cyrus visited the Philippines number 1 noontime show, Eat Bulaga! (the Philippines' longest-running noontime show), to promote her one-night only Manila gig entitled, Gypsy Heart World Tour (Corazon Gitano Tour), which will be held on June 17, 2011 at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.

 Miley in Eat Bulaga

Later in the afternoon, she met some Philippine entertainment press for some Q&A at the Martini’s Bar of the Manila Mandarin Oriental Hotel. In the presscon, Miley Cyrus revealed that his brother, Trace Cyrus, member of the band, Metro Station, has been in the Philippines already (and also performed at the same ground she is going to performed tonight). Manila, Philippines is the ONLY country in Asia, this time, that is included in her latest World Tour.

Miley will then proceed to Australia afterwards, to do more shows.

Miley's Press Conference

Nikki's antics made me laugh! If Miley hugged me too! I'll be overwhelmed too!

Here's the seat plan for the concert

"Ganito kami sa Makati"

MAKATI CITY, Philippines - Don't be surprised if traffic enforcers who flag you down in Makati City will speak to you in fluent English.

Some of city's traffic enforcers will study at renowned modeling and charm development school John Robert Powers International to improve their personality and English-language speaking skills, the city government said on Wednesday.

Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay Jr. said 30 traffic officers from the Makati Department of Public Safety will attend a 2-day "self-management" workshop at a John Robert Powers' branch in the city on Thursday and Friday.

Binay, in a press statement, said the program is part of the city government's efforts to train civil servants who can deliver world-class public service.

Makati traffic enforcers' training program under John Robert Powers started in 2004. 

"We believe it is wise to invest in developing credible and respectable civil servants, including traffic officers, who can carry themselves with dignity and perform their duties with utmost professionalism even in difficult situations," Binay said.

He added that the program strengthens Makati's bid to become a major tourist destination in Asia.

"With proper training, our front line workers will be better able to interact with local and foreign tourists and exemplify genuine Filipino hospitality, a trait admired by peoples around the world," he said.

During the workshop, the traffic enforcers will learn how to improve their image, as well as their interpersonal and communication skills, according to the city government.

They will then be asked to share what they have learned with their colleagues.

"For this training, we have chosen 30 traffic officers currently assigned to critical areas, including the Central Business District, frequented by foreign diplomats, investors, business executives, and tourists," city government human resources chief Vissia Marie Aldon said. - with a report from Henry Atuelan, dzMM

My POV

We don't need English speaking traffic enforcer at all. What we need is to have traffic enforcers who have MORALS! :)

Everybody in the PHI know how to speak English (some may have barok English but a foreigner can still understand what he/she may say or respond to his questions).

It may be just a thing to promote the city to the tourist BUT we already know the language, But if he needs fluent English speakers he must just hire (have higher pay of course) to those who have graduated in college. This way unemployment in the city would decrease :)

and for your information peeps, they bragged that they gave Laptops to their teachers teaching in Makati. So not totally true! The teachers got it as a loan. They have HP Laptops and they have to pay for it for 2years (bawas ata sa sweldo nila or sa allowance. basta ganun.) But if you total the whole amount I think they offered it more cheaper than the prices being offered in a computer shop. SO It was not FREE. It was just a LOAN. :) Free means you don't have to pay anything right?
