Global Warming Threatens Penguins

Global warming is something I don't fully understand - maybe I don't want to understand it because it's such a scary concept, nay, reality. I do know that it affects ALL creatures, even innocent, adorable penguins. Feeling guilty yet?

Girl Crush (Starlet Edition)

My friend Abe asked me, how come girls can say "Ang cute nung girl na 'yon" and not be accused of being lesbian, but if and when a guy should (heaven forbid) say out loud "ang cute nung guy na 'yon", he is automatically gay, or at least, under consideration? Hence, my second girl crush entry. My first girl crush entry was really just a random mix - this is the starlet edition. B-listers well on their way to A-list fame.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Make it Happen, Final Destination, Live Free or Die Hard, Death Proof
She's very very cute and I loved her in Make it Happen because I'm a frustrated dancer :p


Amber Heard
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane
She is a blonde, not at all depressing version of Kristen Stewart.



Amanda Seyfried
Mama Mia!, Jennifer's Body, Mean Girls
Ok, she's a star already, and to be honest, I think her beauty was completely downplayed in Jennifer's Body to give way to The Fox. But I like her better. She looks like she smells nice, as opposed to The Fox who sometimes looks...sticky.

Can you tell me how to get....

...how to get to Sesame Street :)

Happy Birthday Renz!

As a birthday present from tadhana, nahuli siya ng Tatay ko na may yosi sa bibig :P

PR frustrations

PR is telling someone to go to hell in such a way that he'd want go. Somebody said that. Maybe the PR writers of property companies read this somewhere and now they've made it their mission in life to make every single property sound like "a heavenly abode" in an "idyllic location" against the backdrop of "lush greenery and rolling terrain". Girls and boys, nobody's buying it. It's better to just state the specs of the development and hype on the actual amenities and features rather than going on and on in pointless narrative about how living there is going to change your life. 

Buyers and investors can think for themselves and being fed this kind of crap is generally insulting. I really would not write like this if I had a choice (aha! ako naman pala ang nagsusulat din LOL), but clients want it that way. Thankfully, not all property developers think alike. There are a few sensible ones who just prefer to talk about the facts, like Globe Asiatique and Ayala Land, even if their products already speak for themselves, they still manage to have something unique and SPECIFIC to say about them. Use GENERIC words in UNUSUAL ways to say SPECIFIC things. Otherwise, you'll end up with an 800-word press release that says nothing at all.

SentiMENTAL.

Somebody change my middle name to "Needy". Carmella "Needy" Tibajia. Because it's official. I need my friends like I need oxygen -- without them, I would turn blue.

Super old friends. Hehe.

Girl friends.


Beloved boy friends.

Young Folks

Peter, Bjorn and John - Young Folks

This song has been giving me major LSS - and the worst part is, I can't whistle. So I have LSS but I can't sing it. Bummer.
