Pacquiao Fights and Calamities?

just want to publish an observation by one of my colleagues…it appears that every 13 days after a Pacquiao bout we encounter some sort or calamity here in the philippines…you can be the judge..

pacquiao vs morales after 13 days – wowoweee stampede
pacquiao vs larios after 13 days – mayon volcano erupted
pacquiao vs barrera after 13 days – glorietta 2 bombing
pacquiao vs.marquez after 13 days-rice shortage

pacquiao vs. diaz after 13 days…………. (we are currently awating if this holds true in the upcoming fight–hopefully not)

UPDATE (7/23/08)

as of now, this news is proven to be false since nothing happened 13 days after the pacquiao bout 🙂

survivor micronesia (fans vs favorites)

finally, some idle time to update this blog! survivor micronesia has ended and for the first time ever, my bet has finally won! (i usually favor one contestant to the other and my bet always place second or third, go figure)

i’m not exactly a fanatic of survivor but if i’m not at work and it’s on the tube then i usually watch it..i particularly liked this season because it has some very funny episodes (like eric giving up his immunity-lol) OUTWIT is also emphasized in this seasons’ survivor because the girls really used their brains in this one to have a final all-four women (blindside is “in” brawn is “out)

natalie was the first of the four to go, although she’s very good at convincing people she sometimes say some weird comments like letting the chicken go so that the rooster can have its way with her..and what about her question to parv at the last tribal council? i actually think she was hitting on parv! 🙂

cirie really had no chance of being in the final two when she dropped the ball on that last immunity challenge..she opted to vote for amanda with alexis and natalie and would have suceeded if amanda didn’t find the immunity idol.. did she really expect amanda to take her to the final two?

at first i was rooting for amanda but as the game goes on i can’t help but be irritated because she doesn’t seem to be able to make up her mind…from the comments of the juries it looked like amanda would win…i was surprised when parv won..she just didn’t communicate well during the final tribal council…i liked amanda but i agree with natalie when she said that sometimes amanda has this glazed look in her face..good luck with you and ozzy!

i think parv deserved to be the winner since she was really the one who orchestrated the oust of ozzy and the alliance with the 2 girls from the fans..she did a lot of socializing and scheming and i applaud her tactics…she made some smart moves which led to her victory..i just learned that she will use some of the money for the charity she is endorsing so good for her..congratulations!

let’s hope the next survivor can surpass this one!

I know there has been too many talks about this already but I just want to express my two cents worth. Just want to make it clear that I am “kapamilya”. Anyway, I actually want to question the survey being released by AGB Nielsen. I once lived in a house that has their gadget for recording the channels being watched so I have a bit of an understanding on how it works. I ask all of you, is the survey a really reliable source of information on what channel or program is being watched the most? I Don’t Think So! Not because I’m a sore loser since I’m “kapamilya” but because the company is not transparent on how they go about picking the household where they put their gadgets. What if in 10 households that they installed the gadget 7 of them are already “kapuso” in the first place? Meaning, ever since the beginning of time they are already favoring the programs in channel 7. Don’t you think the result of the survey will be the same over and over again? And that the only time it will change is that if they watch some programs from channel 2? This is why I think they should be transparent on how they choose who to survey, if not to the public then to a third party who is unbiased. I know AGB Nielsen is already an established company and all but still…

Oh well, maybe I do am a sore loser but remember this is only my opinion in the matter. 🙂

everyone, start your engine..

here i go again starting another blog…i had one before but was unable to update it until i have forgotten the link! that’s our MIS’ fault because they blocked the site and i simply don’t have time to go to an internet café just to write something (we still don’t have internet since we just moved)

 

anyway, hopefully i can maintain this site so that my friends can get in touch with me here since friendster, email, and chat are blocked in this company as well! got to give our MIS credit for being so diligent in blocking unrelated sites J

 

have to go since it’s almost log-out time…I’m on gy shift for those whose unaware…i’ll just update this later :-*
