Authorities can't determine actual brownout schedules + more lowlights

Andrew Paredes | Published: Mar 8, 2010 - 9:09am

1. 8.8-MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE STRIKES CHILE, TSUNAMI WARNINGS RAISED FOR ALL COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES IN PACIFIC BASIN. Now I know what being a rubber duckie in a churning bathtub feels like.


2. FORMER AMERICAN IDOL CONTESTANT ELLIOTT YAMIN CAUGHT UP IN CHILE QUAKE. Elliott should be used to being in disaster zones–he's performed in Manila, right?

3. METRO MANILA PLAGUED BY ROTATING BROWNOUTS; AUTHORITIES CANNOT DETERMINE ACTUAL BROWNOUT SCHEDULES. That's because blackouts are also possible in the brain.

4. MAGNITUDE 6.1 EARTHQUAKE HITS CAGAYAN DURING GMA SPEECH. Maybe she said something earth-shaking–like withdrawing from the congressional race in Pampanga or apologizing for Mikey.

5. KBL'S VETELLANO ACOSTA DISQUALIFIED FROM RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. Why can't candidates running under the banner of an ex-dictator ever catch a break?

    batoush, i would not do that if i were you. ive seen gecko in the flesh and he is just goddamn *gly.
  • Tita Aida Mar 10 2010 @ 10:45am Report Abuse
    Hmm, sounds like a plan.

    @ gecko, this is one indecent proposal that I would not resist. Apparently, batoush is bottom-less.

    Venue: Vista Hotel near Isetann Recto

    @ gecko - i want to have sex with you provided that you wear condom!
  • Jun Pyo Mar 09 2010 @ 08:29pm Report Abuse
    how about the concept of 'separation of church and state'? maybe that's enough reason and argument to end all of this morality shit.

    @gecko - c'mon, get a grip!

    There goes gecko again. The moral compass of spot.

    I am sorry to tell you that in this Catholic country, Espie Cabral is more popular now than San Lorenzo Ruiz.

    We don't care if you are convinced or not. We will distribute free condoms with my friends who will dress like nuns. These condoms will be distributed outside select Catholic churces after masses. It is private money. It is our constitutional right to choose where we want to distribute these condoms and to wear what we please.

    We say NO to hypocrites.

    Yep. Live demonstration lang. Cabral and supporters + HIV positive guys and gals, having sex in Araneta. If no one in Cabral's group does not get HIV, then we're convinced.
  • gecko Mar 09 2010 @ 11:36am Report Abuse
    I think Esperanza Cabral and her supporters can make a more solid argument if she and condom supporters troop to Thailand with boxes of condoms, then have sex there. I mean their arguments are fool-proof right? So if they have sex in a country with the highest incidence of AIDS, despite vigorously spearheading the use of condoms to fight the spread of HIV, they won't be infected with AIDS right?

    No other argument will convince me.

    can't determine brownout schedules.....that's news???
    it would be if they actually could.


    CBCP - get out of your air-conditioned enclaves and pompous donation-laden church pedestals. go to the slums. go to HIV wards. are we still in the era of Padre Damaso?

    Naomi Campbell should experience being in the same cell with Jason Ivler. Dunno if that is a reward but they deserve each other.
