Giving waxing or hair removing system is generally not a good gift idea
Jillsabs gives pointers on what not to give for Christmas: “…Unless you want the recipient to feel like a sasquatch in dire need of de-follicling (FYI nose hair clippers will never ever be a good present), hold the home waxing kit.” Read her full list here.
Socially sinful extravagance at Greenbelt 5
“It felt like I should have paid an entrance fee just for setting foot on this place, besmirching their floor tiles with my commoner shoes and breathing their air into my lungs.” Mike Gonzalez comments on “Handbags that cost as much as a house.

Parallels between Manny Pacquiao and Marky Cielo
“In a small town in General Santos, one’s mother fainted with joy upon hearing the outcome of her son’s fight, which did not even last 12 rounds.

“The Philippines, and other countries formally under colonial rule, have so much potential in their artistic and cultural talents. Yet, what ends up getting publicized are the latest fashions from abroad. I know foreign trends are inevitable, but even highly American-influenced countries like Japan, Brazil, and Australia still try to break away from the mold. [...]
pinoy fear factor verdict: boring
“The thing that bothers me the most is that all of them, while they are undoubtedly gorgeous, lack appeal. They’re just so…boring. When the final task was revealed, they screamed half-heartedly and looked unsurprised by the ‘twist.’ The host, too, was just too deadpan and robotic. Bottom line?

Manila Zoo animals, sick and miserable
“You know what’s even more disturbing for me? The place remained to be a popular preference for educational field trips, especially for our preschoolers. Just imagine how these young minds would understand the proper way of treating animals if what’s being shown to them were really unpleasant to the eye. Children are fond of animals. [...]
