Gamot sa flu, Chicken Poodle Soup!

Here comes double trouble, Baby Bumble Bee and Frankenbaby.

Watch out! Me susundot sa wetpaks mo.

"Are we home yet, Toto?"

And the winner, Baby Joviang!

Love Is Free, But There Is No Free Lunch In Freetown

Love Is Free, But There Is No Free Lunch In Freetown
« on: Today at 05:31:44 PM »

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, love is free, but there is no free lunch in freetown, because you have to pay the bills.

You have just won her sweet heart and you are happy and walking tall with your head in clouds. Oh, it is good to be in love. But can you take good care of her?

I wonder if many young guys think of the consequences of asking babes out and soon luring her into sleeping with you.
Can you pay the price when she tells you she has missed her period?
Are you prepared to be a father and a good one and not a poor dad who would be at the mercy of a rich dad.
Who would be happy to have a poor dad who cannot pay the bills?

I advise poor guys to think twice before dating any babe.

If you cannot afford her basic needs, PLEASE, LEAVE HER ALONE.
DO NOT MAKE HER LIFE MISERABLE.

There is an Igbo proverb that says that if you see a fine tree and you do not have the axe to cut it down, the sooner you move on to get the axe the better and wiser before a smarter man meets you still day dreaming of how fine it is and then runs to get his axe and before your very eyes, he will cut it and carry it away.

Love is free, but the sweetie should not starve and look like a Liberian refugee.

Pinoy Misheard lyrics

Kaluluwa kaming tambing
Sa purgatoryo nanggaling
Kung kami po'y lilimusan
Dali-dalian po lamang
Baka kami'y mapagsarhan
Ng pinto sa kalangitan

Gretchen Rossie Giant Admirer

Warning: Beware of the giant pumpkin as you enter the pumpkin patch.

Gretchen Rossie's Daisey Mae Look

Our sexy housewife Gretchen Rossi from the television show The Real Housewives of Orange County doesn't seem to be heeding the warning as she is surrounded by pumpkins and a strange glare from behind.

Rossi certainly knows how to dress sexy in the pumpkin patch. As she walks through the pumpkin patch in a pair of very short, cut off denim jeans and small white top.

She tops the outfit off with an orange and white plaid shirt, a popular fall fashion item, tied in the front while showing off a lot of midriff.

Phoebe Price Rocking Hot Fashions

Our favorite red head, Phoebe Price is rocking up the pumpkin patch on a over sized wooded rocking horse.

Her sexy Halloween outfit includes knee high black riding boots, very sexy black spandex leggings with open slits up to her thigh. Price gray cape goes great with her long black gloves and very feathery hat. Her sexy outfit looks great on her blue rocking horse with pink and white mane.

Rock on Phoebe.

Paris Hilton Pumpkin Balancing Act

Looks like Paris Hilton likes them big, at least she seems to favor a big pumpkin.

We really love Hilton's sexy blue outfit and black leggings.

But we are really amazed by her weight lifting - or pumpkin lifting abilities. Hilton seems to just be able to counter balance the weight of the pumpkin in her very high heel shoes.

Well, after all, this is a pumpkin patch and not a fancy club, A-list store opening or red carpet event.

So even Paris Hilton has to use some leverage in her quest for the perfect pumpkin.

Kentwood Elementary Receives Special Appearance from Laila Ali and the Live Like a Champion Tour to Knock Out Childhood Obesity

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- World Champion athlete Laila Ali joined the Live Like a Champion Tour at Kentwood Elementary to combat the growing epidemic of childhood obesity by teaching children the importance of eating healthy and staying active in a fun, interactive way. The award-winning initiative is a partnership between the California Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports and Anthem Blue Cross. Now in its fourth year, the Live Like a Champion Tour features interactive games and challenging sports-themed activities that encourage children to bring out their "inner champion."


(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20091029/CG01999)


As the newest council member, Ali unveiled her very own "Champ Corner," a hands-on physical education piece where children learn about the importance of conditioning activities such as push-ups, sit-ups and jumping rope and how to use a speed bag. "It is an honor to take on this role with the Governor's Council and the Live Like a Champion Tour," said Ali. "I am committed to promoting healthy eating and active lifestyles and hope that children learn the importance of exercise and a balanced diet through the Champ Corner."


A select group of Governor's Council celebrity athletes lends its support to the Live Like a Champion Tour to help raise awareness and promote physical fitness for all Californians. These California icons serve as role models and share their favorite exercises, and their choice of healthy fruits and vegetables depicted on life-size posters throughout the event-site.


"The Live Like a Champion Tour is a great way for me and my fellow Council members to encourage kids to get moving and eat right," said Jake Steinfeld, Chairman of the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. "Few kids will ever have the opportunity to become world champions like Laila Ali, Jerry Rice and Misty May-Treanor, but through our Live Like a Champion Tour, kids across the state experience how fun it is to get active. They also get to learn how important it is to never quit on themselves or their dreams. Don't Quit!"


The tour is traveling to schools, local community and special events, YMCAs, Boys and Girls Clubs and other after-school program locations throughout the state of California. Special effort is focused on reaching out to the state's underserved communities.


According to the 2009 "F as in Fat" report by Trust for America's Health, nearly one in three children in California 10-17 years of age are either overweight or obese. "Encouraging healthy eating and activity routines can help children stay healthy and focused. Research shows that active and well-nourished children have stronger bones and muscles, higher self-esteem, and improved performance at school," said Harvinder Sareen, PhD, Director of Clinical Programs, Anthem Blue Cross.


"As the state's largest health insurance provider, Anthem Blue Cross recognizes its responsibility to respond to the growing epidemic of childhood obesity. We are committed to addressing the issue and empowering families and communities to adopt healthier lifestyles," said Leslie A. Margolin, President of Anthem Blue Cross.


Laila Ali is the youngest daughter of Veronica Porsche Anderson, and of the legendary Muhammad Ali. Ali is deeply committed to helping ensure the adults of tomorrow are getting a healthy start today.


Athletes who are featured in the campaign and their event experiences include:


-- Olympic Style Opening Ceremony: Children pledge to put down the remote
and get active.
-- Laila Ali's Champ Corner: Inspired by world champion athlete Laila
Ali, children step into the ring for a round with a speed bag and
learn about the importance of conditioning activities such as
push-ups, sit-ups and jumping rope.
-- Misty May-Treanor's Dig, Set and Spike Like A Champion: Inspired by
Olympic volleyball champion Misty May-Treanor, children step up to the
net and learn how to dig, set and spike a volleyball as another way to
be active and have fun.
-- Jerry Rice's Catch Like A Champion: Inspired by Super Bowl champion
Jerry Rice, children make the winning catch in the end zone by diving
onto an inflatable mat while hearing messages encouraging 30-60
minutes of physical activity a day.
-- Lisa Leslie's Hoop Like A Champion: Inspired by Olympic basketball
champion Lisa Leslie, children shoot to score by attempting different
basketball shots with various colored balls representing different
healthy foods.
-- Julie Foudy's Kick Like A Champion: Inspired by World Cup champion
Julie Foudy, children shoot multicolored soccer balls representing
fruits and vegetables into a goal to learn the importance of a
balanced diet.

-- Closing Ceremony: Children engage in post-activity stretch exercises
and join in an award ceremony, declaring all who participated
champions.

Cosmetic Surgery Boom in Women Over 50

Cosmetic Surgery Boom in Women Over 50

LONDON, October 29/PRNewswire/ --


- Women in Their 50s and 60s Under-go Cosmetic Surgery to Tackle Droopy Breasts


Just when you thought plastic surgery was a market saturated by the younger generations, the 50 plus market has had a boom in the beauty business.


Nationwide cosmetic surgery group Mybreast has seen a 20 per cent increase in breast surgery patients from 50 to 65-year-olds in the past year.


Norman Waterhouse, one of the founding surgeons of Mybreast and ex president of BAAPS says: "Mybreast offers the full range of all breast procedures and we have seen an increasing number of women in their 50s coming in for breast reductions and lifts."


"Many women with large breasts have had discomfort for many years and by the time they reach 50 and over, they decide to do something about it", says the consultant plastic surgeon.


"This type of breast surgery has a high satisfaction rate from patients. Rather than wanting larger breasts, this age group of women are sick of droopy breasts so come in for a breast lift (mastopexy).


"When people think of breast cosmetic surgery, they normally just think about implants, but there are many more ways to reshape the breast without using implants such as the mastopexy."


Consultant Plastic Surgeon at Mybreast, Stephen Hamilton, says: "There is a greater acceptance now for women in this age group to under-go cosmetic surgery, where as when their mother's were in their 50s, there would have been a lot of stigma attached.


"Women in their 50s and 60s also feel a lot younger these days than women of that age group did 20-years-ago and want their appearance to correspond with that."


All surgeons who work for Mybreast are members of BAAPS and/or BAPRAS (The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and The British Association of Plastic Reconstructive Aesthetic Surgery).


Mybreast was pioneered two years ago to create a company that specialised in breast surgery but now offers all forms of surgical and non-surgical procedures.

About the Film:

Inspired by 50 Cent's latest album of the same title, BEFORE I SELF DESTRUCT is a gritty 90-minute film, written, directed and starring Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent). The film is a coming of age story about an inner city youth raised by a hardworking single mother. When his dream of becoming a basketball player fails to materialize after his mother is tragically gunned down, Clarence (played by Jackson) is consumed by revenge and takes up a life of crime in order to support his younger brother.


About the album:


For the explosive Before I Self Destruct album, 50 Cent returned to working closely with Dr. Dre and Eminem as he did on Get Rich Or Die Tryin', his first official album. With Dr. Dre and Eminem producing and guesting, Before I Self Destruct is darker and harder than 2007's Curtis, as shown by the grimy single and video to "OK, You're Right" (produced by Dr. Dre), which was released earlier this year. In early September, 50 released the hit single "Baby By Me" produced by Polow da Don (Fergie, T.I., Ludacris). For a limited time, the album and movie package will also include a second DVD featuring "Two Turntables and a Microphone: The Life and Death of Jam Master Jay," a documentary about 50 Cent's late mentor and friend.


Before I Self Destruct continues 50 Cent's phenomenal rise from street culture hero to pop culture icon. Both album and film will be released on Shady/Aftermath on November 23, 2009.

I Slept With 900 Men ... So What?

What did Victoria Betteridge, 28, was rare. Oxonian girl was claimed to have slept with 900 men. "People think I'm screwed since first one, but actually not far from the facts that (sleep with 900 men)," said Victoria. Victoria does not come from broken families. Since childhood he protected. Her parents were pious Catholics. She trained with strictly one of them is forbidden to meet with the boys. But yeah.. in the nine years she slept with 900 men.

"When all my friends went to the cinema or to disco with their boyfriend, I play Scrabble with my parents, horseback riding and going to church," she said. "What a man is not part of my life. When I was 13 years old my father worried about my classes at school bothered, he sent me to school with cost £ 7000 to all female students and I just wanted to learn than a date with a man. "

"The girls at school all know I never had a boyfriend or kissed a man, so that they disturb me all time, called me a lesbian or frigid. In fact, I was a strong girl who loved sports and did not care about make-up like the girls. "

When Victoria was 18 years old, she entered Oxford to study English. "I went into the hall and feel the atmosphere of freedom," she said. Strange, all the time surrounded by boys. From then she took off her shyness. On the first night at university, he was drinking tequila with some friends to the Freshers' Ball. Within hours the first time she kissed with Tom. A week later she had a date with Tom. "Without supervision father, I can do anything."

Tom agrees not rush to have sex. He waited until Victoria was ready. Six months later she lost her virginity. According him, the first experience was so amazing, different from the stories of her friends who felt the opposite.

They broke up, because Tom does not want to just serve Victoria in bed, while Victoria wants sex all the time. In one day she asked to be served at least three times.

Break up with Tom did not make a long sad. A week later she met the man that she forgot his name at the bar and brought him to her room. "I do not care who he is and what he did, which I think only sex and feel good." This is the beginning of her adventures that she slept with 900 men.

"I went to bars and clubs of students, dancing provocatively in front of the man she wanted, then I want to buy a drink, everything was so easy," Victoria explained that mode.

Second year at Oxford, he moved into a flat with five girls and this does not make him more docile. "We recommend each other," she said with a giggle .. "We tell each other if they are good or not in bed . None of us who posesive.

Our flat, she said, given the name of fun flats. There are always some half-naked boys, which they sometimes do not know who they are.

Some guys, can not accept the attitude that without the commitment of Victoria. "His name is Stewart always watching out to see if I'm out with other people," Victoria said with a laugh.

"That's a joke. If we heard a noise outside we would say: That's crazy Stewart was spying with binoculars. "

In the last year's, her attitude to be added. She went to Swinger club where the participants can exchange partner. She even related a threesome at the club in London. She also remained in his custom, went to the club, take a man for sex last night, the morning she drove the man away.

Behavior of these reckless apparently smelled by family. Victoria also questioned the father. And since then Victoria with family breakup. She knows that others will judge him, but she ignored it. She dismissed the notion that her behavior was dangerous to himself. He says always wear protection from sexually transmitted diseases and never leave an empty flat with without a stranger.

"Sex is a very normal thing for people, some people go to dinner, sports, I have sex," she said, adding that her behavior was not hurt anyone.

However, Victoria said that in the last three months she had cut the habit. She began to go the gym to reduce sexual desire. "I was involved a date with a man. There's something else about him. He was perfect for me in bed. I do not know what will happen to him, but it made me realize that I also wanted marriage and children at a time.

And after nine years as a sexual predator, Victoria began to do an evaluation of her temperament. "I think, because when I was a child too tight," she said. I do not want to live like this continue, but I do not regret the past. I've enjoyed the fun. For now I am out with one person. We'll see what happens. "I just want to find someone who is passionate sex with me so I'm satisfied," added Victoria.

Kasal ng Taon

Natuloy din sa the end (sa wakas) ang kasal ng taon nina Korina Sanchez at Vice-Presidential aspirant Manuel Mar Roxas. Medyo na-late ang bride dahil hinintay pa ni Korina na matuyo ang mga sinampay na fertility kumot. Tradisyon daw ito ng mga bride na leyebo kwarentay singko na. Mabuhay ang bagong kasal! O padyakan na!

Glamour Magazine Features First Lady Michelle Obama in Women of the Year Issue for Commitment to Mentoring

Cover Interview by New Monthly Columnist Katie Couric

NEW YORK, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Every year Glamour celebrates Women of the Year by paying tribute to courageous and inspiring women who are changing the world. This year the magazine features First Lady Michelle Obama on the cover, accompanied by an interview with new Glamour monthly columnist Katie Couric in which they discuss the importance of role models and mentoring the next generation.

First Lady Michelle Obama has demonstrated a commitment to helping the next generation of girls expand their horizons and providing them with the information and inspiration to envision themselves as the leaders of tomorrow. Glamour celebrates her for bringing the importance of mentoring to the national forefront with events that connect young girls from around the country with women leaders from business, government, sports, science, academia, the arts and philanthropy. Mrs. Obama enlisted women in the administration to mentor girls in the community.


Mrs. Obama was photographed by Matthias Vriens-McGrath for one of five celebratory Women of the Year covers. For the profile inside, she is pictured alongside seven White House East Wing interns. Mrs. Obama salutes the 11 inspiring Women of the Year winners who are also featured in Glamour's special December issue, on newsstands November 10.


"I am delighted to join in celebrating the Glamour Women of the Year," said Mrs. Obama. "The women honored in this issue are changing the world for young girls around the world by removing obstacles, opening doors, and reaching back and extending a hand to the next generation of women leaders. They are role models for us all."


"In under a year, Michelle Obama has transformed the role of First Lady, throwing open the doors of the White House to families and to children," says Cindi Leive, Glamour editor-in-chief. "That alone earns her icon status -- but we were especially moved by her determination to show girls the power of believing in themselves and their dreams."


The profile is the debut of award-winning journalist Katie Couric's new Glamour magazine column, which will feature an interview with a new female role model every month. In her sit-down with Couric, Mrs. Obama answers questions from Glamour readers and shares her advice for women on everything from the importance of finding mentors in their own lives to dating. Some highlights:


On mentoring: "I think that mentoring is such a critical part of the role I can play in this position. I see how little bits of exposure and big bits of exposure really change my girls significantly, and I want that for more girls around the country and the world."


On her role models growing up: "They were the people in my life. My mom, for sure. My dad. The teachers. For me, role modeling was immediate, it was touchable.... Children connect with who is in their lives, present and accounted for.... That's why we're trying to encourage moms, teachers, fathers, to be that presence in their children's lives, in their communities, because it really makes a difference."


On finding career mentors: "I was blessed throughout my entire career. I had people rooting for me. It started with my parents, but it extended to almost every teacher that I had. When I was a young lawyer, there were other women and men in the firm who took me under their wing. Look for those mentors, because sometimes mentors don't find you -- sometimes you seek them out. Oftentimes, they're flattered and glad to lend a hand."


On how she keeps her sanity: "I have always tried to put my kids first, and then...put myself a really close second, as opposed to fifth or seventh. One thing that I've learned from male role models is that they don't hesitate to invest in themselves."


On how she deals with public scrutiny of her appearance: "People are always going to have opinions, and people have a right to their opinions, particularly when you're the First Lady; you're representing the nation. So I can't be surprised that people are interested. But I've tried to be at peace with the choices that I make first, and then be open to everyone else's reflection."


On her dating advice for women: "Cute's good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it's, Who are you as a person? Don't look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul.. When you're dating a man, you should always feel good... You shouldn't be in a relationship with somebody who doesn't make you completely happy and make you feel whole."

What Women Want, Think Should Be Done and at What Cost?

Just Released -- New Poll: Healthcare Through Women's Eyes

What Women Want, Think Should Be Done and at What Cost?

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new poll released Wednesday by the Independent Women's Forum shows that only 16 percent of women believe that health care should be Congress's top priority and that a majority (51 percent) is unsatisfied with what they have read, seen, or heard about the proposals being considered today. The poll, conducted by WomanTrend, a division of the polling company(TM) inc., surveyed 800 women registered to vote and was conducted between October 19-25, 2009.


In this poll, women were given the opportunity to answer, in an open-ended fashion, what questions or advice they have for their Members of Congress and for the President on health care. Concerns about paying for reform, controlling costs, eligibility, and what is included and excluded from the actual legislative proposals dominated as some of the central "themes" for women.


Key findings:

-- Government is not the solution: 61 percent of women think the private
sector does a better job of providing choice in health care.
-- Change for thee, but not for me: 75 percent want few to no changes to
their own healthcare (40 percent -- be modified, but mostly left as
is; 35 percent -- be left as-is).
-- No egg timers: 43 percent of women say that Congress and the President
should enact healthcare reform "only when quality legislation is
developed, even if it means there is no deadline." Less than three in
ten think it needs to happen by the end of the year.
-- Too expensive: Only 10 percent say that $1 trillion or more should be
spent on health care reform. Most put the acceptable amounts in the
thousands (16 percent), millions (24 percent), or billions (16
percent).

-- Concerns with waste: 77 percent say government spends money in a
mostly inefficient way and 55 percent believe CBO projections
underestimate how much will ultimately be spent on health care
reform.


The Independent Women's Forum commissioned this poll to gain a better understanding of women's attitudes toward the health care system and proposed reform, and how they will affect women's health care choices.


This poll and the executive summary can be found at www.iwf.org.
