Geoff & Tisha Dating Couple Geoff Rodriguez Model 26 Philippines Tisha Silang Business Development Manager 32 Philippines AXN Bio You can call this her second chance. A technicality led to her resignation as Miss Philippines Universe 10 years ago and Tisha Silang is making sure that history does not repeat itself. In 1998, Tisha won the Miss Philippines Universe crown but had to give it up because of her Canadian citizenship. While that win has remained the proudest moment of
A taste of things to come. Here’s the first of my Third Eye Blind photos from SMB’s Octoberfest (thanks, Juned, for letting me borrow your DSLR of pure win!). Stay tuned.
Everything in this world has an intrinsic value. That value, however, is dictated by needs and wants. If no one needs or wants what I have, then all I have is an empire of dirt. Everything starts as dirt and everything ends as dirt. My House The total cost, through a contractor, of building my house was 2.4 million pesos. That came out to something like $48,000 in US dollars. It only included the house and the driveway (and the garage-like storage area below it). We have spent several thous
GM Li Chao successfully defended his title in the Malaysian Open 2008 despite losing to GM Susanto Megaranto. Looks like he will be trying to repeat that feat again in the Philippines tournament. He won the 2nd PGMA early this year. Picture above is of Li Chao in Round one of the PGMA. He won using the black pieces vs Candidate Master NGUYEN Van Huy (ELO 2386). He will be facing Julio Catalino Sadora (ELO 2470) with White tomorrow in Round 2. Tournament website: http://chessasia.net Round

This time around I’ve called into discussion the recently hot issue involving the proposed Reproductive Health Act and the general state of reproductive health in the country. And I’m glad that we’ve got some incredibly informative contributions, since my own post about it, What the RCC hates in the RH Act, has been a bit mediocre and emotional attachment is getting at me. It is with a passion that I say I really abhor how the Catholic church is meddling in this sordid affair. But then perha
"Sigue, bugbugin nyo kami. Laitin nyo kami. At the end of the day, kami pa rin ang may hawak ng pera!" This is the gist of a quote attributed to a senior official from the Executive. It is supposed to be addressed to members of Congress.
Two subsidiaries of information technology firm Diversified Financial Network Inc. (DFNN) are going public around the second quarter of next year, according to Ramon Garcia, the parent firm's chairman.
WordCamp Philippines Categories: Featured, Tech chic, Uncategorized, events, philippines Those who have known me for a long time would vouch for my craziness. They say I’m a dare-devil. Seeking for new things at a rate of speed of light! But cherishing still the old things I love to do. What indulgence did I do this time? Nope, I didn’t pose for FHM or Playboy Philippines… Nope, I didn’t try skinny dipping yet… Nope, I’ve never eaten fire yet… And I definitely didn’t join the
Chairman Bayani Fernando of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority officially announced Sunday his intention of joining the presidential race in 2010 amid criticisms that he has already initiated campaigning by way of his giant MMDA tarpaulin posters and "BAYANI" stickers on passenger buses bound for the provinces.
Former Ilocos Sur govenor and losing admnistration senatorial candidate Luis "Chavit" Singson may prove to be more of a liability than an asset as the country's deputy national security adviser, a man who knows him only too well said Sunday.
That man is no less than Joseph Estrada, Singson's friend of many years and the alleged mastermind of the assassination plot against the Ilocos Sur politician that triggered the impeachment case against the former president in 2000.
WASHINGTON - The US government announced on Sunday that it was taking control of troubled mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae (FNM.N) and Freddie Mac (FRE.N), effectively wiping out shareholders' interest in the publicly traded companies.
I think this statement will effectively summarize the state of reproductive health in the Philippines (no matter how irresistibly funny it may sound): Akala ko kapag unang beses lang ng pagtatalik, hindi mabubuntis (I thought one won’t get pregnant during the first sexual encounter). Honestly, I have heard this so many times from patients that it already gets frustrating. Not only does it reflect that a lot of misinformation are spreading around, but it also says how uninformed most of our c
Finally been able to enter the Warhammer online beta plus! weekend and created a couple of destruction characters: most notably the Chaos Magus and the Greenskin Black Orc. Managed to sneak in a couple of RvR action and also got a taste of how the Public Quests work. Latency is a bit a problem for people like me who play from the Philippines. Been spending a lot of time inside the RvR areas and there are a blast to play especially against stiff resistance against good order players. The sta
Since its commercial launch last year, Perfect World and its operator in the Philippines, Level Up! Games, have kept up the tempo by holding events, both sponsored and unsponsored, to the delight of the virtual world’s denizens. I’ve never joined any of these events … that is, until the event dubbed The Lost Foreigner, sponsored by Nescafe 3in1 (yes, the coffee brand). I didn’t really bite at first. I found The Lost Foreigner event, much like any other event in Perfect World Philippines, a cho
With the end of two weeks of political theater that we call conventions in the United States, now we can finally focus on things that are important–such as the 25th birthday on Sunday of British diva Amy Winehouse. In song she refused to go, but in May she finally succumbed and said yes to Rehab. But rehab didn’t stop her from winning a Grammy–the show even set up a special satellite performance in London for her to accept the award, because she couldn’t obtain a visa to travel to the United St
ROQUETAS DE MAR, Spain - Immigrants went on a rampage in a southern Spanish town overnight, setting fire to homes and cars and throwing stones at police, after a Senegalese man was stabbed to death, police said on Sunday.
For adopting a more creative routine with lots of very risky and high-flying acrobatic acts, the University of the Philippines (UP) Pep Squad was able to defend their title as the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 71's Cheer Dance Champions at the jampacked Araneta Coliseum yesterday, 07 September 2008. The UP Pep Squad also went ethnic not only in hair style, but also by using a tribal song mixed with some pulsating beats that impressed most of the 23,443 crowd.
From my ‘Around My Block’ photoset, ‘Residential Street Parking’ & ‘Place Your Trash Here’: Elisa from Herb Of Grace sent me this great Street Use post from Kevin Kelly about wooden bikes from around the (’developing’) world: Wooden bicycles can be found all over the world. These handmade bikes are often larger-scale scooters that you sit on. Made with whatever wood can be found, they use small wooden home-made wheels covered with discarded rubber rims. Forward movement depends on the r
NEW YORK/EVERETT, Washington - Boeing Co's 27,000-strong machinists' union walked off the job on Saturday after the plane maker failed to improve its contract offer following two days of emergency talks.
TACLOBAN CITY - The National Food Authority in Eastern Visayas has confirmed that it will no longer sell P18.25 per kilo rice in the region by next month.
For three days now, SM Marikina has been the favorite hangout for Marikenians and those from nearby towns and cities. It’s been jampacked with people and I can understand why. SM is one of the biggest thing that came to this city since the first (small) mall opened a decade ago. SM would be a haven for tec
Victims of Saturday's liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) truck explosion in Carmona, Cavite, were given medical assistance by the LPG Marketers' Association (LPGMA) fire and rescue team Sunday.
I guess you are wandering why the title. Well, the former Ilocos Sur Governor Luis ‘Chavit’ Singson was appointed by the Philippines President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as the new Deputy National Security Advicer. What a joke right? I bet that you agree with me. How can you appoint a person that doesn’t have a wide experience in securing the country? Well they said that he was the Chief of Police of Vigan. Is that enough experience to be appointed? Well let’s just wait what he c
TACLOBAN CITY - The National Food Authority in Eastern Visayas has confirmed that it will no longer sell P18.25 per kilo rice in the region by next month.
HAVANA - Hurricane Ike barreled toward Cuba as an extremely dangerous Category 4 storm on Sunday and was forecast to sweep into the central Gulf of Mexico as a large and powerful storm echoing Hurricane Gustav.
It’s been a long time since I attended any blogger’s thing — the last time I attended one was during the Philippine Blog Awards 2007. After that I really meant to attend other events, but my schedule just got so jampacked with work and other stuff that I disappeared from the “social blogging scene”, if there was any. Well yesterday I decided to break my streak of non-attendance and headed over to the first ever WordCamp in the Philippines (and in Southeast Asia), held at College of Saint Ben
The Philippines will mark Software Freedom Day 2008 on Sept. 20 at the University of Makati. For bloggers, possibly the best example of software freedom is Wordpress. There’s more, though. To know more, watch this video. Spearheading the Philippine event is the Computer Professionals Union and their friends in the open-source community. If you’re interested in a software world free from viruses and monopolies, register now to join the Software Freedom Day 2008.
Roman Catholic Bishop Pedro Arigo of Puerto Princesa, Philippines, applauded the government's decision not to sign an agreement to the demands of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. He said that his people will never allow the MILF to take over.
Harph Cabaluna, a former Marine private arrested after an arms cache at his condominium unit in Mandaluyong City caught fire Saturday, has told police that he is a gun-for-hire being employed by a Navy commodore involved in land grabbing in Rizal province.
You might have watched it live on TV or in Araneta Coliseum, but not all have seen it, so I need to at least tell people what happened, and besides I want to give my opinion about it. These were the schools and their performance order; De La Salle University - Green Archers (we came first, at least we didn't have to feel the pressure being after the best pep squads) University of Santo Tomas - Tigers (the flips, throws, and the routine was exhilarating) University of the Philippines
August 25 was supposed to be a usual Monday morning. I normally wake up at 5:30 a.m. for my morning devotion. While making coffee, I watch the weather channel. The chief meteorologist was explaining the projected path of hurricane Gustav and there was New Orleans right in the middle of the cone. All the memories of Katrina and the challenge of rebuilding the past three years flashed back in my mind.
Usual Wednesday morning. Workday. I really had nothing exciting to look forward to. Not until my officemate told me as soon as I arrived at the office that she has 2 tickets for the Avril Lavigne concert.

Thank you and enjoy your reading! This year’s Blog Action Day is about Poverty. One of the biggest problems that we encounter not only in the Philippines, but in the whole world. Poverty is a very complex issue. Not a problem to be solved by one. As a blogger, i slowly understand the power of blogging. I clearly define our mo
Breakfast and multitasking Dear mouse, I read once that multitasking is the ability to screw several things up at once. Here’s my breakfast today. Coffee in a mug that is already with me for years. The husband of my friend who is the mother of the children with discipline issues broke its handle when they were still staying with me in San Francisco. I did not know that it was glued back until they had left to find their own place. The name printed in the mug is unique. It was a gift from m
