i hate barbie

half a million dollars? yes, 545,000 usd to be exact.

the world's most expensive barbie, with "a stunning Canturi neckpiece made up of 3.00 carats of white diamonds surrounding a collectible 1.00ct square emerald (cut) pink diamond" and "a diamond cubism ring sparkling on her right hand".

talk about doll moments...

binay: the first black vice president

funny, binay junked erap and got his fair share of poll-related jokes. erap must be jealous, not to mention furious.

not everybody loves carrie bradshaw

why is it that when i look at sarah jessica parker or carrie bradshaw for that matter, i see an overdressed transvestite whose fancy clothes might just look better on any body other than her overrated one.

president noy's top 10 must-hates

1. uncle peping. if there was one thing that he should have buried along with his mom, that would be his scheming uncle. right mar?

2. jojo binay. why trust someone who junked his own president. right, erap?

3. gma. she let him win, fine. but she still wants to be prime minister. so careful...

4. villar. he conceded, sure. but he still wants to be president. of the senate this time. again, careful...

5. chiz escudero. he should stay away from him. period.

6. kamag-anak, inc. they belong in family gatherings and family pictures. nowhere else.

7. balimbings. they just don't belong.

8. stylists, etc., etc. he doesn't really need them. all it takes is a lot of will power to institute change and some changes in the posture department.

9. cigarettes. obviously, he can't die now. and he can't allow his entourage to die from second-hand smoke either.

10. li'l sis krissy. oh, alright, only if she doesn't behave.

erap the "con"man

erap conned his countrymen and was convicted. then the ex-con re-ran for president and won't concede now because the pcos machine said congratulations.

note: concede part based on a text joke.

revival of the fittest

you know what cynics say, one step forward, two steps back. in our case, it's usually three. or maybe four. even five.

take for example the recent poll results. the marcoses, questionable characters from the 70s and 80s, return with a bang (sorry to disappoint you sweetie, but this has nothing to do with a gun).

enrile was a senator during the skinny-jeans-slash-padded-shoulders era and here he is, still the same law-making honcho when the same tight jeans and big shoulders are already being retroed, my gawd!

erap's campaign posters use old photos of him back when he still looked like the hero in his old action movies and not like the real life drunken don that he is today because the past is romantic and the present is crap.

children of yesterday's powers that be win to death. noynoy aquino. tg guingona. bong revilla. jinggoy estrada. pia cayetano. the arroyos. the marcoses. the list goes on. and the dynasties live on.

yeah baby, everything—and everyone—is so back. so bring out the disco ball, the bell bottoms, the elevator shoes. it's time for boogie wonderland!

short is in

excuse me, i'm not talking about the li'l woman in malacañang. i'm talking about the fmls and wtfs of this world.

i am a self-declared ignoramus in whatever you call this and there's no way for me to know what in heaven's name these fashionable jumble of letters mean without good old reliable google. so here's what i learned from an afternoon of googling, or at least some of them...

lmao - laughing my ass off

loll - laugh out loud literally

ctm - chuckling to myself

wtf - what the f*ck

effin' - f*ckin'

ftw - for the win or f*ck the world

fml - f*ck my life

fyl - f*ck your life

what is this anyway? some form of AB or AB-wannabe jejemonism?

gma in a jam

"payag ka bang basta na lamang kalimutan ang siyam na taong pang-uulol ni gloria at ng kanyang pamilya sa ating bansa? kung hindi, maki-JAM na. kalampagin natin ang bagong administrasyong aquino upang panagutin ang putang unanong ito." — jail arroyo movement

hate, hate, hate. facebook is on fire! and i looooove it!

numbers game

from 1 to 8.

but gma can't be bothered with car plate numbers at this point. eight is always better than jail.
