Okay, shameless plug for our Sunday Specials.
It’s your blogger’s birthday! I won’t say how old I turned today, but it’s been quite a riot of a life ever since I started blogging last 2009. Here’s my list of birthday wishes, aside from hopefully receiving a bigger (HD) TV set (at least 42″ in screen size) and a trip to Prague/Budapest from my loved ones, that is:
1) I wish for a Miss Universe 4-Peat. Of course, who wouldn’t want a 3rd victory in the pageant? But just to keep reality in check, my most fervent desire is to keep the Top 5 placement going – be it 4th, 3rd, 1st or the elusive 2nd Runner-Up position.
2) I wish for at least a Top 3 Miss International placement for Bea Rose Santiago. Surely, there must be something into the Head of International Beauty Congress judging in Bb. Pilipinas 2013 and having a good say on who he wants to wear the Philippine sash in Japan.
3) I wish for a long-overdue Miss World crown for the country. While Julia Morley’s pageant is not the most exciting for us, it remains worthwhile to add the one major title that has escaped our grasp for the loooongest time.
4) I wish for Mutya Datul to gift the Philippines with a Miss Supranational win. The girl, imho, is destined for greater things. Conquering Belarus and the eventual victory – on top of being the first Asian to do so if ever – can be difficult to surmount. But not impossible.
5) I wish for Thailand to make good with its previous commitment to host Miss Earth. That way, a possible win for Angelee delos Reyes be rid of hometown decision blues and the like.
6) Finally, I wish for the Philippines to be named Country of the Year in international beauty competitions. 2012 should have been ours, but Olivia Culpo’s MU win spoiled the rankings and relegated us to runner-up.

Blowing one of my many birthday cakes today. Taken earlier at the Flavors Restaurant of Holiday Inn and Suites Makati.
Which one of these wishes will come true? I want all if you ask me. But if can only choose three, it would have to be #1, #3 and #4. 🙂

Happy bday Norman
I love all your wishes and I hope all of it would come true!!!! Most probably-
Bea and Mutya will make us happy… Ara is also poised to do well and the Ms World crown is within out reach too
I really hope Angeline will compete outside the Philippines but if the pageant is going to be held here again… Which seems to be the the most probable scenario… I hope they would at least elevate the level of te pageant to a much higher ground to silence all ME critics!!!!
Thanks, Jay! 😉
HOW YOUNG ARE U? KUA.

THE GIFT – Act 1
Norman just came home from work tired and pissed. His lover George just stepped out of the shower still drippin wet and a towel wrapped around his waist.
George-(rushing to Norman) “Norman hon thanks god you’re home.
Norman- why? what happened ??
George – this is embarrassing hon but sumthin is stuck up my ass and I cant get it out.
Norman – (thinking George is in heat) Oh for pete’s sake George I had a long day at work and I am really tired, this is not the right time.
George – No no no! Please Norman just pull it out for me … please!
So Norman puts his hand up George’s ass, felt sumthin and said “George ! what the heck is this !?
George feeling relieved said “Yea, that’s it Norman, pull it out, pull it out now !
Norman pulls it out and to his surprise he goes “It’s a rolex watch ??
and George sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRHTDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU .
Happy Birthday bud 🙂 , it’s your party and you can cry if you want to. 😉
Hahahaha! Love it Chrome! Love you bud! (brotherly, I mean) 😉

My wishes for you my Ninang are:
1. Manatili ang kagandahan.
2. Mas humindig pa ang alindog na naghuhumindig.
3. Maangkin ang tindig na mapang-akit
4. Pag-iisip na walang bahid at kalinis-linisan.
5. Huwag na sanang bahain ang Hagonoy.
Which I believe is so impossible, ngunit kung babahain man ay wag sanang umabot sa level ng pukelya at pototoy.
Masama ang lasa ng pototoy na nababad sa tubig-baha.
I Thank You!
