katrina halili and the hayden camera

sikat na sikat ang mga scandals ngayon. sana hindi ito nakakahadlang sa mga mas nararapat na pagtuunan ng pansin.

nakakaloka ang mga balita. parang circus, mukhang pinapaikot lang nito ang mga pilipino at mukhang aliw na aliw naman ang taong bayan habang umiikot. ang galing ng mga artista!

ngunit alam nyo ba na nasa 16 na ang bilang ng mga nadetect na may A(H1N1) virus sa ngayon at meron pang 29 na inoobserbahan ang DoH? ipinapaurong tuloy ni Quezon City Vice Mayor ang pagbubukas ng klase sa lunes para maiwasan ang nagbabantang pagkalat pa nito.

24-hour MRT operation starting JUNE 1!

MANILA, Philippines -- The Metro Rail Transit or MRT-3 on EDSA (Epifanio delos Santos Avenue) is going on 24-hour operations starting June 1, a transportation official said.

The Department of Transportation and Communications (DoTC) decided to expand its business hours as studies revealed that many commuters, especially workers in the business process outsourcing (BPO) sector, needed a safe and reliable mode of transportation late at night or early in the morning, said transportation undersecretary and MRT-3 general manager Reynaldo Berroya.

Citing the study, Berroya said most call center agents were found to leave their offices at around midnight and at 4 a.m.

“At this period, most buses and jeepneys are in their garages already,” Berroya said.

The expanded operation is also seen to benefit commuters who may be stranded in the event of flooding during the rainy season, he said.

Security guards will be posted in stations and in trains to keep passengers safe during the late-night operation, he said.

well, ano bang masasabi ko? isa itong magandang balita lalo na ngayon at napakaraming pinoy at pinay na ang pang-gabi o pang-madaling-araw ang uwi. mangyari lamang sana na maging maayos ang security sa bawat station kasi tinatambayan ng mga manyakis at mga holdapers.

kudos to DoTC! excellent idea!

requirements / how to get POSTAL ID card

even voter's registration require IDs now so my sister might get a postal ID one of these days, or maybe just renew her NBI clearance; whatever's faster.

mother ko unang kumuha ng postal ID sa amin. first step is go to your town's municipal hall and inquire. it should be standard but for some reasons, iba-iba ang singil sa bawat city. i don't know why. here are the requirements:

1. application form - dalawam-piso isa.

2. 3 pcs. 2×2 ID picture with white background

3. community tax certificate (cedula) - makukuha din sa munisipyo, ang bayad ay depende sa trabaho. obviously, kapag sinabi mong call center agent ka, malaki ang babayaran mo. kapag sinabi mong still looking for work, mga 22 pesos lang.

4. barangay clearance - makukuha sa barangay hall. mga 19-20 pesos lang ito, minsan libre pa kapag may kakilala ka. haha.

5. marriage contract (if married) and birth certificate

ang binayaran ng mother ko ay 300 pesos, hindi pa kasama yung mga ibang babayaran tulad ng bayad sa cedula, barangay clearance, zerox nung application form, at pagpapakuha ng picture. kapag minalas-malas ka pa, baka pabayaran din ung lamination nung card.

valid for 5 years ang postal ID. hindi computerized. parang karton lang at manually typewritten ang mga information dito. 125 pesos lang ang fee according to the application form, kaya lang daw umaabot sa 300 (or minsan 300 plus pa sa ibang lugar tulad ng cavite, QC, etc) ay dahil sa pagpapa-notaryo. when you look at the card, overpriced mo talaga masasabi.

take note: hindi sila nag-iissue ng resibo para dito hindi katulad ng sa cedula, naka-indicate kung magkano ang binayaran mo.

ang masasabi ko lang, sana ay ma-improve yung card o di kaya naman, babaan nila ng fee. mas masaya kung libre hehehe, tutal nagbabayad naman tayo ng tax. sa panahon ngayon, maraming nanghihinayang kumuha ng postal ID, kasi kung sa jollibee mo nga naman yun dadalin ay busog na busog ka na.

PINOY BINGO NIGHTS: HOW TO BE A HOME PARTNER

my sister and i were able to exchange 31 bingo cards with our goldilocks receipt last mother's day. yipee! ang haba-haba nung nakuha namin.

kaya lang, problem namin, hindi namin alam kung paano maglaro nito kaya balisa kami. buti na lang may internet!

so ganito pala maging home partner ng pinoy bingo nights:

* bawat bingo cards pala valid for one week, kahit anong araw. check mo lang ung week number sa ibaba nung card kung anong week mo sya ilalaro.

* tapos every late afternoon sa pinoy bingo nights, hintayin mo i-flash sa TV ung apat ng set ng numbers (or 20 numbers total) tapos check mo kung naka-buo ka ng X pattern. kapag hindi, ok lang. better luck next time.

* pero kung OO.... SHOCKS! mag-text ka na agad! kailangang ma-register ang serial number nung bingo card mo para meron ka pang makukuhang 50,000 pesosesosesoses bukod pa dun sa 150,000 pesos na paghahatian ng lahat ng mga homeviewers na naka-bingo nung araw na yun.

ano dapat mong i-text? eto:

BINGOAKO

then i-send sa 2366.

gets? gets na yan!

ipapalit na ang mga sachets, containers at resibo sa halip na itapon. hu knows, baka kayo na ang susunod na manalo! sa panahon ngayon, kailangang samantalahin ang maaaring magin source ng money na hindi kinakailangan ng puhunan, diba?

text FIRE to 09186888888

gusto mo bang malaman kung saan papunta ang mga mabibilis na truck ng bumbero na dumadaan sa harapan ng bahay nyo?

pwes, kung may LOAD ka, text mo ang word na FIRE sa 0918-6-888888 or 0922-6-888888.

ito ay isang napaka-brilliant na idea ng ASSOCIATION OF THE PHILIPPINES VOLUNTEER FIRE BRIGADE.

malaking tulong ito para malaman natin kung malapit ba o malayo ang pangyayari sa mga bahay ng kamag-anak at kaibigan, o maging sa lugar mismo natin. TOTOO ito, hindi ito SMS SCAM or CHAIN TEXT ha. nasa website rin nila yan. check it out.

ang latest reply nila sa text ko kani-kanina lang:

FIRE ALERT!
-Lakandula Project 4 QC (fire under control)
-WAWA St. / Tangos Navotas

FR: Ass'n of Phil. Volunteer Fire Brigade & Cafe Mezzanine

ayos diba? galing ng pinoy!

read some FIRE SAFETY TIPS here and let's make EVERYDAY a FIRE PREVENTION DAY.

my top 8 pinoy street food choices

1. kwek kwek or tokneneng - ung maliliit na itlog ng pugo na may balot na kulay orange. kahit apat lang nito busog na ko. minsan ung penoy din or nilagang itlog ung nasa loob.

2. betamax - dugo ito ng manok na pinatigas. sarap nito lalo kapag manamis-namis ang suka.

3. isaw - intestine ng chicken. kawawang manok, lahat ng parte ng katawan pinagnasaan na. sarap kasi e!

4. pork barbeque - basta malambot at masarap ang timpla, aprub!

5. fish ball - magmula noon hanggang ngayon, fish ball pa rin panawid gutom.

6. manggang hilaw with bagoong - minsan nilalagyan ko pa ng asin para mas masarap.

7. calamares - pusit na may malutong na balot ng harina. amoy pa lang, nakakapanglaway na.

8. SCRAMBLE - capital letters kasi paborito ko 'to e! ito yung ginadgad na yelo tapos may color pink na food color, minsan nilalagyan ng powdered milk sa ibabaw or your choice of chocolate or strawberry syrup. matamis sya. hanggang ngayon, adik pa rin ako dito.

mas marami pang street food in the philippines with picture HERE.

maraming nagsasabi, dirty daw ang mga street foods. siguro hindi naman lahat kasi niluluto naman yun. at siguro yung sawsawan or "sows" ang madumi, kasi hindi naiiwasan minsan sawsaw ng sawsaw ung iba kahit naisubo na pala ung sinasawsaw.

ung mga street food ng mga chinese nauuso na rin dito sa philippines ngayon lalo na sa mga loob ng mall. example: hongkong style noodles, siomai sa siomai house, crispy siomai at shark's fin siomai sa pot dog, at kung anu-ano pang naiisip na pauso ng mga business-minded filipinos.

pero masaya kumain ng street food lalo na kapag kasama mo ay mga cowboy din at hindi maseselan ang tyan. lahat yata ng pilipino naranasan sa buhay nila kahit minsan na kumain ng mga yan. so ano pa nga ba, happy eating na lang!

McDonald's TV Commercial with Sharon Cuneta and Manong

isa sa mga philippine tv advertisement / commercials na nagpapaligaya sa akin nitong mga nakaraang araw; kawawa naman si manong, nasampal sya ni sharon cuneta!



the best ka manong!

SUPER PINAS

kahit na marami ang nagsasabi sa tibi, jaryo, rajo at kung saan-saan pa na wala nang pag-asang umunlad ang bansa ko, i don't bilib it! at hindi ko na kailangan makipag-debate tungkol dyan lalo na sa usaping politikal dahil may gash, wala rin naman mangyayari e.

gusto ko lang naman simulan sa sarili ko ang pagbabago; isang hakbang para sa lupang hinirang duyan ka ng magiting. ginawa ko ang blog na ito para magtala ng mga bagay bagay tungkol sa aking super philippines.

ang magagandang balita... mabuti! ang masasamang balita... well, well, well... kailangan natin silang mapuna para na rin sa ikabubuti at ikaaayos natin diba? so eto na yun. it's not a berd, it's not a pleyn.... it's super pinas!
