Worldwide Penis Size!!

Saw this on TV. One is the average size of penises around the world while the other shows a high tech map.

The most endowed nations are Congo, Ecuador, Ghana, Colombia and Venezuela. Korea has the smallest, I think. Pinoys, 4.2.

I'm not surprised. Hehehe.

Lawmakers bid to Decriminalize Prostution

Yap et al have been reading my blog? I wish! Hehehehe.

Rep. Susan Yap (2nd District, Tarlac), principal author of House Bill 1706, said decriminalizing prostitution could be a new approach in addressing the problem.

"We should not view the prostitutes as the source of the problem of prostitution. We should instead run after those who lured them into this kind of business," Yap said.
 
Yap said the existing law also fails to address the criminal liability of exploiters such as recruiters, pimps, bar or brothel owners and customers who cause the prostitution.

"The measure seeks to help prostitutes by entitling them to government services like medical services, counseling, shelter and legal protection services," Yap said.

My point exactly! Good job! Hehehe.

Top Scots politician quits after describing 'attractive girl'

I don't find McAveety's comments racist, maybe lewd, sleazy and sexist but not racist. Just because he described a slim, dusky girl having a Filipina look, doesn't make his remark racist. He was just expressing his "type". It's just his luck that his microphone was on and the camera as still on him when he expressed his lewd thoughts. I think a lot of men have worse thoughts and desires but their thoughts and expressions were not caught on cam or heard over the microphone.

If there's someone who should be upset, it should be his wife.

As well as falling foul of Labour bosses, 47-year-old McAveety is likely to be in hot water with his wife Anita. Mrs McAveety, a blonde and fair-skinned primary school teacher, was at home yesterday afternoon. Speaking from the door of the family's modern semi-detached house in North Glasgow, the mother-of-two seemed upset. But, when asked about her husband's comments, she said: 'I have nothing to say.'

Legal Prostitution?

I just checked my feeds and saw 2 stories.

Prostitute fined $820,000 for unpaid tax
WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland's tax office has levied a fine of 2.3 million zlotys ($820,000) on an unemployed woman for failing to pay tax on income worth at least 13.7 million zlotys she said she had earned as a prostitute.

Stricter brothel rules?
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Amsterdam's deputy mayor proposed new measures Tuesday to help tackle forced prostitution, including restricting opening hours for brothels and raising the minimum age for prostitutes to 23 from 18.

I find it interesting that prostitution is legal in some European countries. Here in the Philippines, commercial sex trade is an industry here but of course, no government official would admit this. I don't think it's a bad idea to have commercial sex workers pay taxes, make SSS and Philhealth contributions. It would be easier to monitor these workers' safety and their practices.

Jocjoc Bolante is sick

Yes, Jocjoc Bolante is sick. He is in the hospital because he as ulcer. He has the run-of-the-mill ulcer, nothing serious I think.

But wait! There's more!

From what I heard, he talks even when he is alone. I therefore conclude he is sick, maybe not very sick physically, more of mentally/psychologically/emotionally kinda sick.

Good Heavens! Good Luck!

The heat is starting to get worse! Sumasakit na ulo ko sa init. I'm worried I won't be able to get quality sleep beacause of this. Haayy.

It's my off. I was able to finish my laundry yesterday, 3 batches. Kung may pera lang ako bibili ako ng automatic washing machine para isang saksakan lang puwede ko na iwan. What I'm using now is semi-automatic. Oh well...

This morning, I was amused at the news on Unang Hirit. Erap can run again according to him. Sabi na nga ba. Kaya maingay sya kasi he's a sore loser and he wants to oust the person who took his place. Kulang siguro nahuthot nya during his term and he wants more.

I'm glad some of the people during the inter-faith rally walekd out when Erap spoke. The people who walked out showed some delikadesa. Erap had no right to speak there since he is corrupt himself. Na aliw ako when a media man from Agence France Press pratically pinpointed to Erap na mandarambong sya. Napikon daw si Erap. Hehehe. Eh diba totoo naman? He was convicted of plunder and now he wants GMA to step down so he can pick up where he left off? He's a freaking hypocrite!

I am also dismayed at what's been happening to Jun Lozada. Why is he going from school to school, town to town to campaign? Tatakbo ba sya or nagpo-promote ng pelikula? Who is funding this campaign thing of Lozada? What is his purpose? What's the real reason behind the people who are pushing him to do this? If I were Lozada, I should be wary of the people who are using him. Once he has served his purpose, he will be useless to them. No one is indispensable.

If GMA steps down. who will take her place? Laht nagkakaisa para paalisin si GMA but when asked who will take her place, nagkakagulo na, hindi na sila magkaisa. Hay naku... Lumalabas ang mga real motives.

We are a country of hypocrites talaga. Nagsisimba, nagdadasal, kunyari iniisip ang kapakanan ng taong bayan pero wag ka, may ibang motibo talaga. Ang dali nating makalimot. Ang dali nating talikuran ang ating mga pangako lalo na kung ang kapalit ng ating mga pangako ay katuparan ng ating ambisyon.

I am for the cause, but not with the system. Nadinig ko na ito dati, nung nasa college pa ako. Panahon pa ni Makoy, alam nyo naman sa UP, mahilig sa churky hehehe. Who will take GMA's place? I don't think there is anyone qualified to take her place. No one in this country can call himself morally upright. Kung meron man puwedeng pumalit kay GMA na morally upright, good luck to you!

FVR in 2010?

I was half-awake, half-asleep when the news flashed on TV. FVR may run in 2010 if Erap decides to run... Really???

FVR in 2010

Bad sleeping 'doubles heart risk'

I saw this news bit on BBC News. I says there that people who have too much or too little or disrupted sleep are linked a to doubled risk of a fatal cardiovascular disease.

Hmmm... No wonder my health has gotten worse lately.

The news article said:

Researcher Professor Francesco Cappuccio said: "Fewer hours sleep and greater levels of sleep disturbance have become widespread in industrialised societies.

"This change, largely the result of sleep curtailment to create more time for leisure and shift-work, has meant that reports of fatigue, tiredness and excessive daytime sleepiness are more common than a few decades ago.

"Sleep represents the daily process of physiological restitution and recovery, and lack of sleep has far-reaching effects."

Curiously, the researchers also found that those individuals who increased their sleep to eight hours or more a night were more than twice as likely to die during the period of the study as those who had not changed their habit.

Professor Cappuccio said lack of sleep had been linked to an increased risk of weight gain, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.

However, he said the link between too much sleep and poor health was less clear, although he suggested that staying in bed for prolonged periods could be a sign of depression, or, in some cases, cancer-related fatigue.

"Our findings indicate that consistently sleeping around seven hours per night is optimal for health and a sustained reduction may predispose to ill-health."

This news article is interesting to me because of what I have gone through lately and still going through somehow. I knew that my blood pressure problem is related to my sleep problem. I also had a feeling that my weight gain is due to stress, which is also affecting my sleep.

People in the call center industry should be strongly aware of this. There are certain centers that change schedules as often as every week. They should re-consider fixing schedules. These centers will someday be in serious trouble if they don't.

Microsoft + Yahoo = MicroHoo

I saw in the news yesterday that there's an unconfirmed chismis about Microsoft and Yahoo merging to beat Google. I guess the chismis is right.

I didn't know Google has beaten those two!

22 yr old killed after being drawn into deceptive cyber romance

I'm sure a lot of people have seen this image:



I was reminded of this when I read about this news of this 22 year old kid who was killed over a deceitful cyber relationship.

An 18 year old Marine who was preparing for deplyoment has been constantly chatting with a young attractive lady who sent him pictures of her, even her lingerie.
In reality, the man Thomas Montgomery is actually a 47 year old married man while the woman is in her 40s and was sending out pics of her daughter. The wife intercepted one gift coming from the woman and she sent her a letter saying Montgomery had fooled her because he's 47 and married.
The woman remembered Montgomery's co worker, 22 year old Brian Barrett, so she called him at work to ask if Montgomery is really married and all. From here on they became friends and was in constant contact with each other. Inspite of what happened between her and Montgomery, they remained friends. She even told him that Barrett's been her communicating with her on a regular basis. This got Montgomery jealous. He shot Barrett .30-caliber rifle at close range.

Here's the twist: little did both men know, this supposedly 20-something attractive lady is actually a 40plus woman sending pics of her daughter! Hah!
Montgomery's wife has filed for divorce and it seems she and her kids have left their conjugal home in suburban Cheektowaga, where Miss 40plus sent Montgomery her lingerie that got intercepted by the wife.

Strange twist of fate. This is what you get for lying and cheating. I hope Mark reads this.

Magnanakaw!!!

Around 45 minutes ago, I heard someone screaming on the street. I thought the neighborhood kids were just fooling around but I decided to look a few minutes later. A young lady got robbed in the middle of this sleepy baranggay in Imus, Cavite. The robbers were riding a motorbike armed with a knife. The young lady had another lady companion but her bag was snatched from her just the same. She was carrying 50K with her. She didn't scream for help, she was just screaming. The menfolk didn't realize she needed help till it was a bit too late. They tried to run after the theives but they got away.

Grabe! Sunday 10AM in my own neighborhood. This isn't the first incidence of bag grabbing by motorbike riding theives. My next door neighbors, they were also robbed the same way but the incidents happened late at night and around 3AM.

When I first got here, I noticed people casually using cellphones while walking or on the jeep, people having cellphones dangling from their necks. Initially I was shocked kasi nga baka mahablot cellphones nila. Surprisingly wala akong nakita or narinig except for 1 incident of a cellphone nakawan in school, a grade 6 pupil brought her N90 phone to school kaya ayon, ninakaw. Anyway, I never heard of any snatching incidents till recently. First I heard happened around 3 or 4 months ago around 3AM. The lady was on her way to Baclaran to buy goods to sell. Kanina her daughter admitted getting robbed too, a few months after her mother got robbed. Call center agent kasi, so gabi sya na nakawan somewhere in Bayang Luma I think.

A local once told me that Cavite isn't a place for petty theives. Cavitenos do not tolerate theives and petty criminals. According to him people here would rather kill than steal, they say there is no honor in stealing. Mga dayo lang daw ang malakas ang loob na magnakaw dito.

People here are good are always willing to help, I hope there is a way to encourage the bayanihan spirit in Imus inorder to fight crime. Mahirap isipin na maari kang manakawan at masaktan sa loob ng sarili mong community.

DFA probes racial profiling of Filipinos in California

I don't usually read all the news feeds about the Philippines. When I get, I just scan them. This particular feed caught my eye.
This news is about an American kid getting abducted by men whom he indentified as Filipinos:

DFA probes racial profiling of Filipinos in California
By Francis Earl A. Cueto, Reporter

THE Department of Foreign Affairs said on Thursday that it was investigating reports that several Filipinos in the Union City in Alameda County, California, were in an uproar after a nine-year-old American boy who escaped a kidnap attempt identified his would-be abductors as Filipinos.

A California-based Filipino community newspaper, the Philippine News, reported that the Union City Police received a phone call on December 5 from the Pioneer School Principal about a foiled kidnapping of one of the school’s pupils.

Read the rest of story here.

This news is kinda alarming. Either the kid is right, that the kidnappers are Filipinos; or the kid is wrong but "brown skinned criminals" are Filipinos.

*Sigh*

Streaking!

I never saw the streakers in UP in my entire life. There was one time I was close to seeing them during my freshman year. When I got to Chem 16 class my labmate told me she saw naked men run in the hallway of Palma Hall during lunch break. Natawa ako sa reaction nya, "Yuck Fiona yung pubic hair!" Hehehe.

Every year, students from the Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity (APO) of the University of the Philippines run around campus naked but with faces covered--called streaking--as some sort of offering to their beloved fraternity on its anniversary as part of their tradition. APO celebrates its anniversary every last school day of December. This year, the Oblation Run had another purpose: sign of protest for the impending tuition fee hike.

The participants, members of the UP fraternity Alpha Phi Omega, held their "Oblation run"-- named after the University's symbol of freedom -- at about noontime, according to APO Grand Chancellor Max Quijano.
Quijano said the Oblation run coincided with a scheduled meeting of the Board of Regents, UP's highest policy-making body. The BOR might decide Friday whether to impose an 80 percent tuition increase.

The tuition fee will be increased from 300 PHP to 1,000PHP per unit. Whew! No wonder these kids are running around naked, soon they won't be able to afford clothes anymore!

Meanwhile, Senator Aquilino Pimentel Jr. criticized the University for allowing these students to run naked on campus.Meanwhile, Senator Aquilino Pimentel Jr. criticized the University for allowing these students to run naked on campus.

In a statement, Pimentel said he could not see any purpose or logic why male students, their faces covered with balaclavas or rolled up t-shirts, have to shed off their clothes and expose private parts "except to provoke voyeuristic tendency or create lewd thoughts among the spectators."
"I ask the UP administration why they allow students to publicly go naked and display their private parts. What benefit does this public institution, paid by people's
money, get out of it?" he said.

The Senator's is such a stick in the mud. That's freedom of expression, kaya nga Oblation run eh.

I remember during my time we paid something like P24 or 27/unit. Students then would protest by delaying their payment till the last day, meaning we had to wait till there was a rollback so we won't have to pay the new rate. Of course, walang nangyari, I ended up paying a late fee of P50, which was a lot then.

If the people's taxes pay for the institution, why do these students need to pay 1,000PHP per unit? Confusing. One of these days parents will start running on campus naked someday.

Married Christian Couples Should Have More and Hotter Sex!

I came across this article on MSNBC while reading my rss stuff. This is how it should be!

One preacher's message: Have hotter sex
Joe Beam says good Christian marriages walk on the wild side

This article was written by Brian Alexander who attended a seminar called "love, Sex and Marriage" given by preacher Joe Beam who runs and outfit called Family Dynamics. He expected the preacher to condemn the typical American sexual culture but was surprised when he heard some tips on making semen sweeter. His message: Married Christians should have more - and hotter - sex.

No inhibitionsThis literalist view cuts both ways. Beam has been attacked by some conservative Christians for his liberal take on certain subjects. Much of what he preaches contradicts the teaching of other sects, such as Roman Catholicism. But he argues that if the Bible does not forbid it, you can do it. So bring on masturbation. Try any position in the Kama Sutra (but refer to drawings, please, not pictures of real people). Wife away on business? Have phone sex. Birth control is good. Even anal sex is OK if (and Beam believes this is a big if) it does no harm to the body.

Tis the Season for "Hold-ups", Robberies, Muggings and Carjackings

When Carlo arrived at the center this morning, he looked harassed. We asked him what happened and he told us, "I got mugged... Again!"
HUUUWWAAAATTTTT???
Yesterday, I nearly arrived late and I told everyone our ride got held up by some accident. Then Carlo asked me, "You got held up too?" I guess he was hoping someone else could relate to what happened to him that day. Tuesday morning, a guy came up to him and asked for his wallet. I'm not sure if the guy had a knife. We think the guy was in dire need of cash kasi he didn't ask for Carlo's cellphone, just the wallet and the money inside, of course. He lost his las P500, his baon for the entire week.
This morning, on his way to work, 4 men held up their jeep. One man brought out a gun. Carlo checked out the gun, it was real. Ilan lang silang napag tripan: Carlo, a student, and this lady who just arrived from Bahrain. I guess they saw Carlo's bulge, the front pocket of his pants, kaya nakuha na cellphone niya. The student had his nN73(?) with him pero wala na ngayon. Ang biro namin, binalikan ang cellphone nya kasi nakalimutan the last time. Hehehe.
Pag dating sa Buendia police station he saw 5 more people filing a report, mukhang maraming nakawan at holdapan this morning. A bus load full of passengers was robbed early this morning, yung oras na petiks ang pulis siguro. An Assumption student had to go to the police station barefooted kasi tinangay ng holdaper ang kanyang sapatos.
Ayus!
Ingat na lang sa mga holdap at nakawan. Tis the season... Malapit na kasi ang Pasko?

No to condoms, Yes to death

Kenya has a very controversial first lady. Lucy Kibaki, Kenya's first lady, called on students to abstain from sex inorder to avoid HIV.

"Those who are still in school have no business having access to condoms. Those who are in university and are not married have no business having condoms in their halls of residence," she told schoolgirls in the capital, Nairobi, on Thursday evening.

HIV/AIDS activists were shocked by her advice because they know that kids as young as 15 are already sexually active.
Some 1.5m Kenyans have died of Aids or HIV-related diseases since 1984, reports the AFP news agency.

Wow! How many Filipinos have died of HIV/AIDS? Not even half of that number. But that's not far from happening here if we keep being ignorant and prude. There is nothing wrong with abstinence, IF people can practice control. Can we practice control? We are a country of Roman Catholic fornicators. Hehehehe.

Read Kenyan first lady in Aids storm.

At least two-thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity: idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religous or political ideas.

Da Vinci Code Brouhaha

The MTRCB doesn't want to be pressured by any group and wanted it to be shown. Giving it the R-18 is somewhat diplomatic of the group to do.

Board chairwoman Marissa Laguardia told The Associated Press that the movie would be a "test of faith" for many people in the predominantly Roman Catholicn nation.
"And those groups, like the conservatives who want it banned, maybe they can tell their friends, discourage their friends from watching it," she said.The review panel said the movie will be shown without cuts.

Review panel member Betty Molina said the censors were not pressured by any
group.

Another panel member, Eric Mallonga, said blasphemy is a religious term and the board as a civil agency "is not required to exercise a religious test" in reviewing films.

Buti naman.

Some nights ago I saw this news bit on Mike Velarde's opinion regarding the Da Vinci Code. Napabilib ako kasi sabi nya na let the viewers be the judge na lang kasi mature naman daw ang mga Pilipinong manonood. He also said that the CBCP is giving the movie free advertising by making so much ruckus over it. Tama siya ha!
