A Pinoy Blog About Nothing

Rene and Bata
Just vegging out on TV. Maalaala Mo Kaya on ABS-CBN and Magpakailanman on GMA are doing TV bio/drama of Rene Requiestas and Efren Bata Reyes. Long Mejia and Anjo Yllana are doing the late comedian and the ace billiard player respectively. Both are sporting awful, obviously fake and ultimately distracting mustaches. (It’s a hoot seeing Keempee de Leon doing a take on his father Joey. It’s a dead-on impression.)

Time Sink
Warning! Do not follow this link unless you want to drown in trivia like:

* “Children laugh about 400 times a day, while adults laugh on average only 15 times a day. ”
(I wonder at what point do we lose our capacity to laugh so much?)

* “Boys who have unusual first names are more likely to have mental problems than boys with conventional names. Girls don’t seem to have this problem. ”
(there goes the idea of naming my son Batman)

* “Murder is the only crime that does not increase during the full moon. Theft, disorderly conduct, larceny, armed robbery, assault and battery, and rape all statistically increase dramatically during the full moon. ”

(thanks a lot red ferret!)

Red Planet
It’s been cloudy these past few days (tonight it rained) so I can’t really go out stargazing and look at Mars. I’m doing the next best thing.

** To the person using the search function the last few days, I’m so sorry. It turns out that the free Atomz service can only index 500 pages. I’ve since switched it to the native MT search function and it should yield better results. I miss ‘e-mail searched keyword’ function. Is there such a function for MT?

** This is, by the way, entry # 666. Ooooooh. If you trace the links on this entry you’ll see that it forms into a pentagram. No really. You scared yet?

** Just. One. More. Day. Till. Weekend. Can’t. Goof. Off. Must. Concentrate.
