Hinay muna sa fashion advices, mahina ang kalaban. Haha. Kaya mag ice breaker muna tayo. Alam nyo ba, noong bata pa ako ay pinangarap kong matutong mag-ballet, yung tipong maglululundag ako at magpapaikot-ikot, kaso may vertigo nga ako at madaling mahilo sa ilang ikot palang.
Pero hindi talaga tungkol dyan ang sasabihin ko. Eto na…
This is one confusing optical illusion spreading across the internet. I know it was created years ago, but I’m still confused. Can you tell which direction this woman is spinning? Clockwise or counterclockwise? After few seconds, it just miraculously switches on the other direction.
Whatevs, let the geeks handle the explaining. Matagumpay nyang pinasakit ang ulo at mata ko kahit tignan ko lang sya. Paano pa kaya pag ginagawa ko na? Kaya dito nagtatapos ang pangarap kong mag-ballet. The End.
Pero seryoso, kung sino may alam ng totoong eksplanasyon, paki-email sakin. Haha.

Forevermore, Till There Was You, My First Romance, Let The Love Begin, Now That I Have You, Can This Be Love, Don’t Give Up on Us, Close to You, All About Love, You Are the One, I’ve Fallen For You, When Love Begins, Till I Met You, A Very Special Love, Love Me Again, You Changed My Life, And I Love You So…
Hindi ako naglilista ng mga paborito kong kanta. Yan ang mga title ng mga makabagong pelikula. Bakit nga ba panay lyrics ng love songs ang naiisipang gawing titulo ng storya? Sa palagay ko, napapaghalo-halo lang yung mga salita tulad ng MY, LOVE at YOU. Mahirap na tuloy tandaan kung ano na nga ba yung napanood mo dahil halos pare-pareho nalang kasi. Hindi lang sa pamagat, pati konsepto at daloy ng kwento.
Ano pa nga ba ang ibang stereotype sa mga makabagong pelikula?
- Si Vhong Navarro ay lead sa mga comedy movies at paniguradong magpapasikat sya ng isang novelty song na may kengkoy na sayaw.
- Ang mga love story na pelikula ay kadalasan nalang may “love scene”…
- At nagpapalit palit lang sila ng ka-love team.
- Magkakaroon parin ng sequel ang Ang Tanging Ina N’yong Lahat.
- Magaganda at Tisay ang mga leading lady sa comedy movies kahit swanget ang bida o sidekick.
Cliché noh?
Now I’m really looking forward to that rumored Ninoy-Cory Movie project, para maiba naman. I hope the producers give justice to an inspiring life story of modern heroes. Wish ko lang, hindi Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree ang title ng pelikula.
Wenk!

dear sosyalera,
madalas akong nakatambay sa site na to. ang ganda kasi eh. 
. pero nung nakita ko yung dear sosyalera, sumaya pa ako ng lalo dahil halos pareho lang ang problems ko sa mga humingi ng advice sayo. 
). and dami mo nang natulungan pero ngayon, ako naman ang may kelangan ng advice. 
kahit malayo pa ang prom, nagwoworry na ako. gusto kong magulat ang lahat pagdating ng day na yun dahil sa appearance ko. simple lang ako at hindi ganun kakikay. medium ang height ko pero gusto ko po sana na ma-emphasize yung long legs ko 8-). maganda daw ang likod ko pero medyo flat chested ako ). hindi naman ako over weight or under weight pero chubby ang cheeks ko. naturally tan ang skin ko plus mahaba ang buhok ko. ang problem ko naman ngayon is kung anu ang susuotin ko plus shoes, hair, make-up at accesories. nagbrowse ako sa mga magazines pero wala akong makita na gusto ko lalo na yung afford ng budget ko.
hoping for your reply.

Dear sweet16,
JS Prom is a much awaited High School event aside from Graduation. It’s good that you’re already looking forward to this day and by now planning on your prom dress. First, you have to know what the ‘usual’ prom dresses are so you can make a difference. Try to consult friends with their fashion ideas because prom themes also depend on your school’s culture. Some themes might require you to look modern, and some schools only allow the conservative type of party clothing.

Have you been ignoring Lucky Me instant noodles or other local goods over imported chips and chocolates? Well it’s time for you to know some Made in the Philippines products’ foreign worth. My sister from US sent me some pictures of popular Pinoy products and their equivalent dollar value.
No wonder Filipinos abroad have been so eager to eat or buy local brands once they come back home. I can’t believe that a serving of Pancit Canton can cost similarly to a platter of Steak.
So what’s my point? Let’s not be too choosy and pa-conyo with what we eat. Experience Filipino street foods and try pang-masa meals as part of our daily life. You might have rare chance to eat them someday; unless you’re willing to spend dollars just for a cup of taho.
BTW, thanks again to thoughtful readers who sent in their messages after my anniv post. You guys made my day. Thank you, and much love.

I was actually thinking for daaaaays on what’s a creative blog anniversary post. I don’t have enough guts to video capture myself for a vlog; my partner for my podcast segment is busy and I feel stupid doing it alone; and I definitely won’t spend money for a blog contest… So for short, I have nothing to offer but a Happy Anniversary Sosyalera.net greeting.
O diba, kabog ang poster ni Dr. Joel Mendez. Anyhow, after overcoming the just-5-pageviews-per-day stage and lame criticisms from some blogstar wannabes for the past year, I just realized it’s not about the numbers but loyal people who appreciate your ideas. Sounds cheesy but I’m touched whenever I receive compliment e-mails telling that my blog gave them a good laugh or I inspired them to organize their closet. I don’t have a comment box because it only takes seconds to make pambobola how nice your blog is, but it will take minutes and effort opening your email account just to send an appreciation message. It means a lot to me. In fact, I was undecided if I should extend my domain for another year but because of your continued support, my blog might still be running longer.
That’s it! Short but sweet. Maybe I’ll just consider vlogging next year.
Thank you everyone at Mabuhay ang mga Jologs na Sosyal!

The Nation just lost a mother.
I woke up late since it’s a Saturday and to my dismay, it’s all over the news that former President Cory died at 3:18am. How unfortunate it is when a noble icon dies at the middle of political crisis. Then again, ordinary people who sympathize don’t care much about how she worked with politics because she was not even perfect during her regime. Personally speaking, it’s quite heartbreaking not just because someone who advocated democracy is gone by now; but perhaps most of us are just touched with how she carries that peaceful smile, how she walks slowly as if she’s our own mom, and that hoping look on her thin face covered with wrinkles.
Kris Aquino might not have been a kind personality, but at least her mother is.
I’m still lucky I got to meet Cory before she died…
Maybe she was just too tired to speak that time.
Everyone loves her. We should go beyond grieving and give honor. That’s the least thing we can do.
