HDB Rental Rate is Sky Rocketing!!!!

So, it's that time again when we need to negotiate for renewal of contract or find another roof over our heads. I've been here in Singapore for four years and every other year (we get 2 year contracts), we create a new contract for the flat we are renting. And the past two years have seen the stratospheric rise of rental rates. It just show how crazy the rental rates here in Singapore can get. It all started at the end of 2007 and went on with its meteoric rise.

Disecting '20 Reasons Why I Dislike The Philippines' Video

We, Filipinos, have big chips on our shoulders. We can easily criticize someone but we don't want ourselves to be criticized. We are "pusong mamon". We get easily hurt by harsh comments and reacts in a negative way instead of taking things lightly and take them in a constructive ways. We fire back at the person who "insulted" us instead of taking actions. And the makers of "20 Reasons I Dislike The Philippines" know that fully well and their video became viral.

Alliance Global is not Affliated with Alliance in Motion

On my last visit to the Philippines, some people asked me if I know Alliance Global. I know that it is one of the largest conglomerates in the Philippines with businesses in different industries like real estate, gaming and tourism, food and beverages and fast food. Some of their companies include MegaWorld, Traders Hotel, Golden Arches (McDonalds Philippines), NewPort City, among others. So I wasn't really surprised when I was told that they are now selling some kind of supplement. I just said that I didn't know that they are also into pharmaceutical industry.

Edwadson Base Sex video Scandal

Here's a man dumped by his girlfriend for a supposedly better man. He had a good time. Captured the sexy time in video. Introducing.....***drum rolls*****.....Edwadson Base. And then the inevitable happened. He got dumped!

To get back at his ex, he posted their sexy time video in the girl's wall page. What happenned next? Someone, presumably his ex, filed a complaint and Mr. Base is now caressing the tattooed back of his inmates. For the uninitiated like me, the law he broke is Republic Act 9995 or the Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act of 2009 otherwise known as Hayden Kho 'Hayden Kho Act' (the law, not the action).

Unfortunately, I can't find a copy of their sex video in the interwebs. But looking at the photo of Edwadson, it's not really hard to understand why he was dumped. It's really just a matter of time before his girlfriend will find the guts and wisdom to realize that he's not really worth it. And since the girl is only 20 years old now and they've been a couple for 4 years, there's a good chance Edwadson shagged the girl when she was still underaged. I don't know what it's called but I smell another criminal case waiting for him. If I remember correctly, that's called 'seduction of a minor' and 'sex with a minor' or something like that.

If any of you find his video in the interwebs, just let me know in the comments. Likewise, I'll update the post once I find it. I still can't find them in the usual sites I go to. Honestly, I'm not finding hard because with the looks of Edwadson, I think I have to lower my expectation on the how the girl looks. Just saying.

Pacquiao-Marquez III Live Streaming

It's that time again. Manny will fight another boxer and people are scrambling to find a Live Streaming of the fight. For those living in Singapore like me, we have a choice. Its main Cable TV operator, StarHub, will be showing the fight live on SuperSports Channel 202. Yes, only StarHub cable subscribers are lucky enough to watch it for free and LIVE!

We'll watch it on my friend's 55in LED TV together with our lunch buddies. I don't want to subscribe again on SuperSports 202 because the last time I did that, I got a very boring fight. And then I forgot to cancel the Sports Group subscription that I was charged for it for two months. Not a big deal but that's a equivalent to a week's lunch money. Again, that's peanuts compared to what our friends in the U.S. pay for it.

I'm expecting a good fight. Hopefully Manny wins again.
