Takbo Tuny, Takbo! (Greenlane to Wakefield CBD)

My new running route home from Greenlane Hospital. Total: 5.9Km. Nothing exciting about this one, but long enough for a good workout.

Whatever Happened to Darth Vader...

According to Return of the Jedi, Luke cremated his father's armor and, during the victory celebration on Endor's forest moon, Luke sees the redeemed spirit of Anakin Skywalker standing alongside the spirits of Obi-Wan and Yoda.

Apparently that was a Sith trick. Vader lives.

More HAHAHAS at Blame Society.

Letitsnowletitsnowletitsnow...

Nyak umuulan!

Pero teka... Inde ako nababasa, and what are these pretty little white things na tumatalbog sa aking... aherm.. winter coat...



OHMYGULAYSYET! Its....

Ok na sana eh, kaso biglang me sumisilip na Bruce Willis. Sung by Vaughn Monroe.

To do before I die # 26: See snow, check!

Actually hail lang sya, at inde pwedeng gumawa ng snowman (but close enough, hehehe).

Pixel Me Silly: Auckland Fish Market

View from our flat today at 7:30AM.

Story today at the inquirer. I would be freaking out.

Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.

I'll try to get an inside scoop from the boys baka sila ang namamasilya ng butas (maybe me nagtakas ng Boy Bawang sa bagahe at sumabog sa lakas ng pressure sa cargo, hehe).

Terrorists in M'nao Now Have No Chance

T3: Sa Wakas

Dyuske, kay tagal kang hinintay, nakakahiya na.

Naku excited na siguro ang mga friends ko sa LTP (me office kayo dun? Miss ko na kayo, lalo na ang aking beloved football team, wahhh!!).

The Search for Weng Weng

Photo from Andrew Leavold's blog, by Nina

Oh my GULAY! Nobody told me that WENG-WENG IS DEADDDDDDDDDD!!!! And his name it Ernesto Dela Cruz. How un-Agent 00!?!

What's next, hindi totoo si Santa???).



Incredible what-ifs: Kung Fu match between Nino Muhlach vs. Weng Weng? Personally I think with Agent 00's superb martial arts technique and stunt training, he'll send Bruce Liit running back to his mommy crying.

For Y'ur Height Only, The Impossible Kid, D'Wild Wild Weng... Who would have thought he's been dead since 1992? I thought nag ala-Yoda sya't nagtago sa Dagobah with Palito, waiting for the right time to release the sequel of James Bones.

I guess he's what you call being Bigger Than Life (ta-daaa.. ). Salamat Andrew for bringing him back to our consciousness).

Dear Ate Beth

Dear Ate Beth, ano na ba ang nangyayari sa PBA?





Isa lang ang magpapabuhay sa PBA... Ibalik si JAWO! (at si Gido Babilonia, hehehe)

Sunday Morning

The Inquirer: Ready for the polls.

The Herald: Iraqis killing each other 1.3kms from me.

A good excuse for U2.

I Can...

Ohmygulaywakanasyet...

Uy, nagenjoy (Amininnnn!).

More here.

Love hurts

This is Tony Veitch, popular NZ Sportcaster and now the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons.

Binugbog nya girlfriend (2nd in the photo) nya two years ago, bad enough to land her in the hospital. He paid her to shut up. All smooth sailing till someone talked, and now he's all over the papers. He's suspended from his TV and radio gigs, and from the looks of it, his career is as good as dead.

Imagine pag sikat ka't ginawa mo yan sa Pilipinas...

... which is not very hard to do.

Malamang showbiz balita lang bagsak nyan, at magkakaroon ka pa ng sarili mong game show (oh diba). Btw., check this out: The Top 10 Most Shocking Philippine Celebrity Breakups (Homygosh! Break na pala si Lotlot & Monching! ).

The Face of the Day

Talo All Blacks (30-28), ang sakit.

Naalala ko tuloy pag natatalo ang Ginebra, parang dinudurog ang puso ko (The agony!). Buti na lang hindi palaging talo.



Hayy, those were the days, when every woman's dream was to be The Eskinol Face of The Day.

That, by the way, is DJ Alvaro rapping, Ultra Man (~~Look at them players running like hell sa porma nila talo ang chippendale...WTF???).

Fake it till you make it

Love this.

When this ad cam out, everyone started Googling McCallum & Partners(even me), only to find out that it doesn't exist. They had a whole discussion about it, even making the news. Hate messages, dissing, a professor at Auckland Uni said it did a good job at promoting the imaginary company, not Telecom.

Things is when they all started talking, that's exposure (and what Telecom wanted).

Touché.

Ka-Mate-Ka-Mate!

Forecast tomorrow:

Hooo-humm... Basa, malamig (as in MALAMEEEGGG). Masarap magkulong na lang sa bahay. Sa hapon mag oven na lang ako ng manok. At pag dating ng 8:30...

Ka Mate! Ka Mate!
Ka Ora! Ka Ora!
Tenei te ta ngata puhuru huru
Nana

Whakawhiti te ra
A upane ka upane!
A upane kaupane

Hi!!

Wooohoooo!! Go All Blacks!! Kalaban nila ang world champs, Springboks (South Africa).

Well, for the first time, inde ko papasukin ko papasukin ang isport na ito (ano ako, bale? Baka magkabale-bale pa buto ko, hehe). Yung touch siguro, or manunuod na lang ako (or si Lexi paglaki, nasa katawan nya eh).

What I love about The Haka, especially the All Blacks Haka, is that you don't have to be Maori to do it. Many in the team are Pakeha(non-indigenous New Zealanders). You just have to prove to everyone that you're proud and worthy to wear the colours and do dance.

Maybe there should be a migrant Haka (or gasp.. a Pinoy Haka) for those who successfully settled in New Zealand.

Siguro kung ako mag cho-choreograph ang Pinoy Haka ay kumbinasyon ng Maori Haka...




... at nito.




Well, maybe NOT ;).

Pasensya na po at medyo nasira ata ang plaka sa bandang gitna.

At ang sumunod na kalahok, na papalambutin at hahaplusin ang ating puso sa isang makapagbagbag-damdaming interpretative dance number ng... kayo na po ang humusga. Ladies and gentlemen, Lexi!

At ang kampeon, straight from her New Zealand debut, with her own interpretation of the hit #1 song... Ladies and gentlemen... Julia!

At papatalo ba ang tatay? Hinde syempre... With her posse, MC Tuny!

Kala nyu noh, hehehe.

Buhay pa po! Medyo busy lang, at ang dami-dami kong update...



Welcome to our new fishbowl. Maliit man at masikip, eto't ang saya-saya padin. Ika nga ni L.V.

A room is a still a room, even when there's nothin' there but gloom. But a room is not a house and a house is not a home. When the two of us are far apart. And one of us has a broken heart...~~

Ang tagallllll-tagal ko itong inasam-asam. And after endless googling, and sleepless nights waiting, nahaplos na rin ng aking mainit na pisngi ang aking pinakamimithi...

Woo-hooo! Pixelmesilly's back, bebeh. Sample shots with my new models.

Sa zoo... hahaha nakapikit...

Tamaki drive papunta Mission Bay.

Auckland Domain.

Old Ferry Building.

Makinis na pala ako't matagal nang walang bulutong. Surprisingly halos wala rin akong marka (salamat kay Dra. Judy).

Pero naknamputsanamannnnn...

Nung isang lingo, habang papunta kami sa simbahan, me sumalubong bigla sakin't sabay matching making-a-cross-symbol with his fingers "Ton!! Kamusta na-naku-baka-mahawa-ako-sa-bulutong-mo-ha!!!" Someone I've never seen for over a year (Buong pinoy community ba ng Auckland alam na ba na nagka-bulutong ako??).

At kanina me pumunta dito building, at naglulundag sa takot nang makita ako. Abah, feeling ko ako ang mamang kumakain ng manok sa circus.

Sa inyo:
#1 basahin ito. I'm not disease, but your ignorance is.
#2 Salamat sa bulutong [deleted].
#3 Sa inyong [deleted].

Inhale... Exhale... Ika nga, write an angry blog entry and throw it away in cyberspace (Get over it and move on).
