Brandon Flowers is caught up in a crossfire and saved by Charlize Theron. Awesomely nice!
..she's one vengeful and enraged honey.. :)

Where On Earth Can I Buy the Juana La Virgen Telenovela DVD?
HELP!
I surrender! I've been trolling the net for the last three hours, searching for the Juana La Virgen telenovela DVD but no such luck! *sobs*
I love the telenovela and really want to buy the DVD but I don't know how and where! I tried e-bay, nil. I tried Amazon, nil. I tried Google, nil!
Please, if any of you accidental reader, happens to read this, please, pretty please let me know should you know where to buy the DVD. In English subtitle, of course.
Muchas gracias, amigas!

SUNSET
..is a luxury that everyone can afford of and take for granted. I always love gazing through the sunset. No matter where in the corner of earth I am, I always love the sunset best!
*click images to enlarge view*
No photoshop, no editing, just a normal digital camera :) Into the sunset |
My cousin, soaking up the sunset |
One has to possess great skills and mastery to be able to pose atop a pile of jagged edge rocks in the name of vanity :P |
My very amateurish shot |
One of my favorites.. |
I also love this :) |
Sunset-gazing with your loved ones is a real heavenly treat.. |

Mabuhay Manila, Philippines: Sept 22nd - 25th, 2011 - Part 1
Well, that's me. Slightly rumpled and winded, after disembarking from the plane. I will post more about it, later..
To be continued...
*******
As promised, here's Part 1 of the journey :)
For a year, I didn’t do any
wandering at all. Out of Malaysia, I mean.
So, when my friend suggested that we go for a foreign holiday, I didn’t
hesitate. Our pick were, China? Hong
Kong? Jakarta? Manila? In the end we settled for Manila.
A week before the impending
departure, my friend called. She’s sick like a dog and she didn’t think
that she’d be able to go. I was like,
whaaaat?!! Gosh, wrong timing! So, what
am I gonna do? Shall I cancel the trip or proceed? She said, since everything
is paid for, it’ll be such a waste if I don’t go. You see, we were supposed to
be going with several others, her colleagues.
That leaves me like an oddity. I don’t know anyone in the group. Awkward, much?
So, a day before departure, my
friend called again. She.Won’t. Be. Able. To. Make. It! I was resigned to the fact that I’d be
flying and meeting with strangers by my own.
On Sept 24th, the whole group met at the airport. Thank god, they turned to be okay and friendly.
Waiting... |
We landed at Clark airport around
04:15pm in the afternoon, with a little incident during the immigration clearance. One of our people is sharing a name (the
exact first and surname) with another passenger in the same flight! Huh, fancy
that! The poor guy was grilled almost half an hour by the officers in the
immigration and he was all by himself!
We tried to help him but the other officers ushered us outside. By the time we managed to board our tour bus, it was
already close to 05.00pm in the afternoon. Disregarding
the small mishap, it didn’t hamper our tourist spirits. Besides, the weather
was fine. From Clark to Manila, we
traveled in a fairly straight highway. No twists and turns, only one clean
straight line. Clark is a flatland, once
a US Army base, now turned into an agricultural town. You can see sugar cane fields and occasionally
paddy fields along the route. Far in the
distance, Mt. Pinatubo is looming over, asleep for now but who knows when it’s going
to stir up after more than a decade of deep slumber?

Entering Manila’s outskirts,
here, the interesting part begins. Why interesting?
In a manner of speaking, Manila is a huge metropolitan, divided in the way of standard
of living, lifestyles and economic
status. It comprises of 16 cities in
total with almost 20mil population. Other
part of the metropolitan namely Makati City, the financial district of Manila
is urbanized. Its landscape is dotted by highrise and sleek buildings, while other parts are dominated by
working/middle class, the poor and homeless with rusty, decades old and rundown buildings. I think it has some similarities with Jakarta. The
more interesting fact is the traffic / road condition. Two lanes can become four lanes. You rarely see a police traffic, to man the
congested traffic. If you’re a driver,
be prepared to go by your instincts and judgement. Lorries, van, jeepneys,
tri-cycles, buses, oil tanker trucks,
cars, container trailers are jostling together in the city roads! No RULES, but
you have to trust your driver! I was holding my scream/breath the whole time,
and boy, the jaw-clenching journey finally ended after checking-in into our
budget hotel, Gran Prix Hotel & Suites Manila located at Marbini St, Ermita.

There’s one thing that I like about Manila
that reminds me of Hong Kong: Billboards! They are everywhere, in sizes. Erected and posted all over the cities, with pictures of gorgeous women/men plastered all over! Empty billboards with giant structures of steel and metals are also dominating the cities' skyline. No matter what sort
of merchandises you’re advertising with, be it canned food, properties, cosmetics,
and basically everything under the sun, they must be accompanied with pictures of sexy/gorgeous
people! I saw a big picture of that Pinoy famous actor, Jericho Rosales, holding
a relatively small can of tuna. I also saw a giant billboard of several
buffed, glistening skin and topless men, modelling corn beef! Well, I admit,
they looked delicious and guaranteed to set the hearts of housewives aflutter and send them to supermarkets in frenzies!
There's Mr. Jericho Rosales, with his tuna can :P |
Bruno Mars stares right atcha.. |
