Sa panahong nito, mainit pa rin ang usapan tungkol sa mag-asawang Kris Aquino at James Yap at yung pag-aamin ng isang Hope Centeno sa pagtatalik niya sa Ginebra(?) MVP.
Sa totoo lang, di ako gaanong kabisado sa mga kung sinu-sino sa mga PBA teams (wala rin akong hilig sa basketbol, naman). Pero alam ko na mainit ang linalabanan ngayon sa mga advertisers para kunin ang serbisyo ni Yap di lamang sa kanyang kahusayan sa hardcourt kundi sa pagka-wholesome na imaheng pinu-project niya lalo sa kaumpisahan ng kasal nila ni Kris…maamo at “God-fearing” daw.

Re: James’ and Kris’ messages!
13 SeptemberYAP: Wala pa rin import ang purefoods pero meron na atang napili si Coach Ryan. Sabihin ko sa inyo pag-confirmed na ha.
KRIS says: After Game taping we prayed in Baclaran. Nearly a month since r last visit. Was very amazed plenty tv monitors were nakakabit on Church’s sides. Figured 4 Wednesday novena and 4 Mass. Super high tech na Baclaran. Be4 ok na power point on screen. Now may monitors! Makes prayer more in tune with high tech times.
14 September
KRIS says: Went to Baclaran again. There’s a lot to say thank u 4 and still a lot 2 pray 4. In r experience, Mama Mary helps bring us closer to God and her intercession makes answers 2 r petitions easier 2 accept kahit yes or no. 15 yrs ago my 1st movie Pido Dida was shown Sept 13. A year ago on Sept 15 Feng Shui was shown!
Puwera nga, pero lahat tayo ay tao lamang, walang nilikha ng Diyos na “perfect”, kaya di ako sa lugar para maghusga.
Ikanga, kung ako si James, oo nga, aaminin ko na tumalik ako kay Hope, bakit ako matatakot na ma-tsugi ako sa bahay ni Kris? Okay, di naman siya anak-mahirap, pero maiilang ka sa gaanong ka-laki ang agwat ng pagtatapos sina James at Kris. Eh nga, kahit sa college days niya sa UE, sabi daw nga, isang chick-boy talaga siya, so di mo mapabalewala nga na walang inaanakan siya roon. Kung ako’y nasa sapatos mo, James, dapat basahin ang nangyari sa kaso ng isang kapuwang basketbolista na si Kobe Bryant. Maraming mga kahalagahan ang matuntunan niya roon.
Sa tingin ko nga, si Kris rin ang may kasalanan…naging masyado focused siya sa trabaho, mga projects niya sa kaliwa’t kanan. Nawala sa kanya ang pagfufulfill ng role niya bilang asawa, lalo nga kung si mister ay pumapagod sa hardcourt at madalas mga kasama niya roon mahilig mag-gudtym pagkatapos ng game. Sa tingin ko, magpahinga muna siya sa pagtratrabaho muna lalo nga na nagdadalan-tao siya…dapat lumabas siya sa bansa at mag-anak roon para di biglang mapasilaw sa paparazzi ang magiging anak nila ni James. Pagkatapos niya mag-anak doon siya mag-isip na mabuti kung bibigyan niya isang rin pagkakataon ang asawa niya…pero ilang beses siya itinakwil sa pagmamahal, lalo nga kung ang nagmamahal ay isang sikat na basketbolista? Di ba siya sanay sa mga kabarkada niya sa PBA…pati ba ang mga ila’t-ilang fans na minsan talo pa sa mga groupies ng mga sikat na rock stars??
At nandyan rin si Hope…isang Hope Centeno, isang mapahamak na receptionist sa Belo Medical Center, anong balak niya makunan sa pag-aamin niya? Ani wika ni Andy Warhol, “lahat tayo ay magiging sikat sa iglap ng kinse minutos lang”. Di ako nanood ng mga interviews niya, pero nakunan ko mga palayaw na binigay nila sa isa’t isa…si James ay si “Big Bird” at si Hope…well, “Hopia” (ang kokorni naman!!!!). Yan ang masasabi ko, dapat huwag niyang aksayahin ang iglap na iyan…pero huwag mo ipagtatagalan. Sa totoo lang, wala pa akong narininig na interesadong magkuha kay Hope bilang commercial model o spokesperson man lang…pero di mo malalaman?
Mag-abang ka lang….di pa tapos ang lahat!!!
Ito ang magiging unang gabi sa paghabambuhay ko…. Pebrero 14, 2007

Ilang Sabado ako nakapaglibot ako muli sa Makati paggabi. Kadalasan, napapanood ako ng sine, puro mga Last Full Show ang nakaabot ko sa may Ayala Cinemas sa Glorietta. Sa totoo lang, parang naiiba ka kapag lumilibot ka nag-iisa sa mga iba’t-ibang clubs sa Makati. Doon ko pinadaanan ang pagka-feeling ko Englishman – di ako masyadong conscious sa panamit, basta disente at di jologs ang dating. Ito ang kinuha ko noong ika-3 ng Pebrero malapit sa may Cafe Havana sa Greenbelt.
Matagal ko rin naparininig ako tungkol sa scene doon ng Embassy sa may Fort Bonifacio, kaya nga noong 10th ng Pebrero, nadesidido ako sulyapin para matama ang aking haka-haka roon. Sa totoo lang, parang masaya naman roon…napasok naman ako ng sikyo roon kahit naka-T shirt at maong lang (mga Pinoy talaga, mahilig sila pumorma na sobra pag pasok sila sa mga class na club) Wala rin gaanong mga feeling-sikat at naghahanap ng basag-ulo roon (eh paano, kumakalat roon ila’t-ilang mga maskuladong bouncer taga-awat). Me mga ilan roon – mga babae at kahit ilan-ilan mga bading – na okay ang trato sa akin at di ako binigyan ng kahit-ano sa floor. Ang sikreto roon ay huwag ka tumakot ngumiti, lalo kung me na-aksidente ka roon…eh kunwari, bagets ka lang sa eksena.
Ang naging panhatak sa akin roon sa Embassy ay di lang mga nagkakalat ng mga kabebotan na iba’t ibang kulay pero ang mga tracks na tinutugtog roon. Di gaanong talamak ang mga gasgas na katulad ng “Ever After” ni Bonnie Bailey pero ‘yung mga pinaka-latest at pinakamainit sa mga dancefloors mula sa NY, London at Paris. Doon napatunayan na di mahuhuli ang Makati sa worldwide club scene kahit na matagal na naglaho ang alaala ng mga katulad ng Faces, Giraffe at Rumors.
Haaay….sarap balikan….
Haaay naku…”as if” talaga!!! Umaarangkada na naman ang paboritong arsobispo ni Erap!!!! Pebrero 14, 2007

Catholic bishop frowns on simultaneous kissingFebruary 12, 2007 MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines could have set yet another world record for the most number of kissing couples over the weekend. But at least one Catholic bishop is not so happy about the simultaneous, 10-second, public smooching of 6,124 couples as part of the event called “Lovapalooza.” Former Novaliches Bishop Teodoro Bacani said in an interview on Monday over the Catholic Church-run Radio Veritas that the Valentine event did nothing for true love. “There are things you do to show intimate love and you do it quietly or privately between the two of you. That Lovapalooza should not be encouraged,” Bacani said in Filipino. Through events like Lovapalooza, Bacani said that showing one’s love for a partner had become trivialized simply because there was a world record to beat or the couple wanted to be seen on television. Lovapalooza has become an awaited annual pre-Valentine event where thousands of couples join to be part of setting a world record. On Saturday, organizers said that the Philippines had broken the world record, currently held by Hungrary with 5,875 couples kissing at an event. But the Lovapalooza number still has to be verified by an independent auditor and approved by Guinness World Record officials. Bacani, who weathered accusations of sexual harassment nearly four years ago, added that many people were misled into thinking that “to like is to love.” “But when you like something, you use it for yourself. When you love someone, you use yourself for the person you love,” Bacani said. |
O aber…anong me alam ang inyong paboritong dating arsobispo kundi maghanap ng eksena para mag-sawsaw.

Bishop in sex scandal quits after uproar
|
Manila |
A prominent bishop embroiled in a sex scandal in Roman Catholic Philippines has resigned, Pope John Paul II’s representative in Manila said yesterday.
Bishop Teodoro Bacani had ceased to become the archbishop of Manila’s Novaliches suburb but will remain in the Catholic Church, said Father Walter Erbi, first secretary of the Apostolic Nunciature in Manila.
“The Holy Father has accepted the resignation tendered by Bishop Bacani. However, his resignation does not mean that he’s been removed from the church. He remains absolutely with the Catholic Church,” Erbi told reporters.
Erbi refused to comment on the status of a probe by the Vatican’s college of cardinals into allegations by Bacani’s former secretary that he had sexually abused her.
Bacani has denied the allegations but apologised for “any inappropriate expression of affection” to the secretary.
The alleged affair of Bacani, one of two bishops embroiled in sex scandals in the country earlier this year, received prominent news coverage locally. Bishop Crisostomo Yalung, who ran a parish in Antipolo suburb east of Manila, earlier quit the clergy after being accused of fathering two children.
The Catholic Church in the Philippines for the first time last year publicly apologised for sexual abuses committed by Filipino priests, but insisted that a majority of clergymen remained faithful to their vows.
The Church admitted that some 200 priests had been investigated for sexual misconduct over the past 20 years. Some were dismissed while most resigned voluntarily.
The Philippines is Asia’s bastion of Christianity, with majority of its 80 million citizens belonging to the Catholic faith.

Sa totoo lang, kaya na nga tumiwalas ako sa Simbahang Katoliko…di na ako sumisimba tuwing Linggo, maski palaging ako pinapayo na magsimba pag First Friday, ‘di ko tinutupad.
Sinong maasahan ko kung di marunong magtupad sa salita ng Diyos ang mga tauhan inilaan Niya sa mundong nito???

Galing ito sa isang friend ko na taga-MySpace. Dati siya nakatrabaho sa call center rito pero napagasawa siya ng Ingles at nakatira siya ngayon sa Rotheringham, United Kingdom:
1: “… also, if you return the phone within the 30-day period in lightning condition …”
2: “Oh, yes, ma’am. With Nextel, we can offer you three payment methods: we can use a credit card, we can bill it to your account or we can go with the Mammogram option.”
3: Helping a customer access the Sprint website:
”Please type in ‘h-t-t-p’ and then a colon.”
”How do you spell colon?”
4: “Yes, Ms.Alexander, thank you for that very long hold.”
5: “Thank you for calling Sprint now together with Nextel, to better resist you …”
6: “… to better assist you, may I have you first and last dance please?”
7: “I’m sorry, sir, I would have to transfer you over to the odor support department.”
8: “Your phone must include all original kit components and packaging including the fucking slip …”
9: “Hold the line, ma’am, I’ll be transferring you to the Pretentions Department …”
10: “Oh, no, you don’t have to worry, Mrs.Parker, we can call your husband to ask permission to charge the amount on his credit card. We can call him right now and do a threesome with him on the phone.”
11: “Yes, sir, good news. Your credit card had sufficient funds and your order has been pushed through!!!”
12: “Yes, sir, if you weren’t given an order number, that means the order didn’t push through, and I can definitely help you in my end to set up the order correctly … Oh, you were given the bill to account option but you’re opting instead to use your credit card now? Good. If you use your credit card with me it might just push through!!!”
13: “PAC? I’m gonna take my lunch break now. Sorry, I wasn’t able to adhere to the break sked ’cause I was on sale a while ago, ‘kay?”
14: “Thank you for that information. You have reached Telesales. Are you with Sprint or with Nextel?”
“I’m with my wife.”
15: “Yes, Mr.Ganja. If you’ll just give me five minutes, I’ll be able to assemble the order for you.”
16: “In addition to waiving the activation fee and the shipping fee, I’ll also ask my supervisor to authorize a $50 invoice credit, so that $50 will be credited back to you, how does that sound good, right?”
17: “I apologize for that very long hold, Mr.Sedillo, but thank you for that patiently waiting.”
18: “And which Motorazor were you thinking of getting, the Charcoal Gray one of the Red One.”
“Gold.”
19: “Thank you for calling Sprint now together with Nestle.”
20: “Thank you for calling Sprint now together with Nextle.”
21: “Thank you for that information, Mr.Greene. You’ve breached the Telesales department …”
22: “So, Mr.Alvarez, which phone were you thinking of getting for the upgrade?”
“The Blue Katanyo.”
23: “So, we’re good with the A640 from Samsung? What rape plan do you want to go with that?”
24: “Oh, sorry, Ms.Teixiera, the promo for the Motorazor only lasts until December 31.”
“Of this month?”
25: “The memory of that phone is definitely much more higher than the Samsung A640.”
26: “You spika Spanish?”
“Oh, no, sir, I don’t. I’ll just transfer you to the Speaking Department. Oh, sorry, the Speaking Spanish Department.”
27: “Okay, Mr.Judd, I’ll just be five minutes, I’ll be processing your order, so I want you to stay on the line, okay?”
28: “Are you a new customer or an insisting customer?”
29: “You’ve reached the Telesales Apartment.”
30: “Correct me if I’m not mistaken …”
31: “… Now to check the order of your status …”
32: “I’m sorry: are you a ma’am or a sir?”
33: “How much do your Blueberries go for?”
34: “Your order number is ‘T’ for … ‘Tom&Jerry’ — uhm, do you watch that cartoon, sir?”
35: “Yes, Mr.Smith, we have to get physical … address.”
36: “Ms.Hall, would it be more benifitting for you …”
37: “I do apologize for the long run, your order number is …”
38: “Although I’m sure you will be totally satisfied with your order, it’s important that you have misinformation.”
39: “One moment on that again, sir, can you repeat the spelling?”
40: “To set expectations, just in case something unexpected happens …”
41: “Is this the Credit Department? Hi, George, this is Allan from Sprint Telesales. How’re you doin’ alright?”
42: “Well, you can go with Nextel if you’re interested in the walkie-walkie …”
43: ” … there’s a mail-in rematch …”
44: “… you will not be held to the 2-year chorvis agreement …”
45: “Do I have your submission to permit the order?”
46: “You have a very coverage in your area.”
47: “Thank you for patiently waiting, I do apologize for holding you.”
48: “The activation fee for $26? Yes, we impossibly waive that.”
49: “Thank you for patiently waiving.”
50: “Can I put you on hold for about 3-5 business days — oh, sorry, for about 3-5 minutes, I mean …”
51: “I apologize, Mr.Smith, there’s a mistake pupping out of my system …”
52: “… yes, it has a mammary card …”
53: “… yes, it has a mammary card slut …”
54: “I’ll be holding you for 3-5 minutes, okay?”
55: “To set expectations, purchases through Sprint would have to made via credit card or debit card. Do you have one hundred right now?”
56: “I apologize, Ms.Bullock, we can’t assist you with your concern since you bought that phone from a store. To have it replaced, you have to go to a Sprinster.”
57: “Are we gonna run it under your Social or are we gonna run it under your wife?”
58: “Your last bill amount is negative $27, you might have overfade.”
