The Top Ten Things To Say To Someone Who Went Back Into A Bad Relationship

When I get to talk to people who keep going back into “bad” relationships, whatever that means, I don’t push too hard because they’ll only get more tenacious in holding on to it. They get into this “you and me against the world” drama and go against the odds to fight for their rotten love.  Okay, too harsh, but I’m sure you get what I mean.

We Are The World (YouTube Version)

I really like this, 57 of YouTube’s more high-profile musicians decided to pitch in for a viral version of the recently celebrity-studded remake.  These musicians are celebs in their own right, and it’s just cool how they all got together virtually for a kick-ass version that’s often just as goosebump-inducing as any.  Whoever thought of the idea was a genius.  I can just imagine the logistics though, of choosing which 24 of the thousands of YouTube singers get to be included and who gets to sing what, and editing all the raw footage that was probably emailed to one editor who stitched the whole thing together.  Amazing.

The Top Ten Statements You Don’t Want To Hear From Your Parents

I can come up with a list all of my own, just quoting my ever-quotable mother.  But seriously, I remember bringing my dad for an MRI, and as he was already delirious, he had a lucid moment where he whispered, “Mamamatay na ko…” and I can you can say I was sufficiently scarred for life.  You’re never quite prepared for statements like that from people you love.  But, this top ten turned out more funny than sad, so pardon the downer of an intro.

Ode To Durian

Due to insistent public demand, I now post my heretofore never-before-published masterpiece, “Ode To Durian“.  The above picture is the durian in question, possibly the most obscenely delicious durian I’ve ever tasted in my life; so scrumptious, in fact, that it pushed me to pen a poem exalting the virtues of a much maligned fruit.  I literally forgot where I was, while in the gastronomic throes of pleasure.  I had my eyes closed, as the creamy semi-solid mass of sweetness burst into my mouth.  I never tasted another quite like it.  I read a couple of stanzas on air one time, and since then, I’ve been deluged by thousands, nay, billions of requests to finally publish the rest of this future classic.  So without further fanfare, I humbly present to you, an incredible example of high-brow literature, my magnum opus — “Ode To Durian”.

“ODE TO DURIAN”

Ang mabahong durian,

sobra sa sarap yan.

Saksakan ng krema,

di tulad ng plema.

Ito ma’y mabantot,

wag nang mag-second thought.

Kahit amoy nito’y “ew!”

sa lasa’y mababaliw.

Ang lasa’y orgasmic.

Ang amoy, fantastic.

Ang presyo’y walastik.

Yor pingers yu will lik.

Over sa linamnam,

panalong pakiramdam.

Katawan ay iinit,

mula ulo hanggang singit.

Pag bumuka na ang puwet,

you’ll say: “hinog na, shet!”

Puwede nang biyakin,

at ito’y manyakin.

Ipikit mga mata,

bibig ibukaka,

at ito’y supsupin,

ang sarap lasapin.

Wag ka lang didighay,

yor breath amoy bangkay.

And the smell of your sweat,

is like panty na wet.

But it will be worth it,

the taste very sulit.

Durian the smelly fruit:

lasang heaven, amoy utot.

The Top Ten Euphemisms For Sex

Thanks to @joseph for suggesting I drop the “The Best And The Rest xxx” format because people are always spreading the top ten in emails or on Facebook without recognizing the source.  It has happened many times, even published in newspaper without it being acknowledged as a Top Ten topic.  Hopefully if I put the actual Top Ten topic as the title of the post, it will be easier for copy-pasters to remember to honor the source by at least stating where they got it.  Key word: hopefully.

Sadie, The Scottish Terrier

The Westminster Kennel Club championship is like the Wimbledon of dog shows.  I always await the results every year, because I’ve had my share of joining dog and cat shows before.  My favorite breeds seem to be winning recently.  About two years ago, a beagle (I have 2 myself) name Uno was numero uno, and now, another favorite breed of mine, the Scottish Terrier, won the prestigious prize.  I’ve always wanted a Scottie, but most books and articles label this breed as one for experienced owners (translation: hard to handle).  I’m pretty experienced as far as dogs are concerned, but I need a low-stress dog like my Yorkie, Cairo.  I’ve come sooo close to buying a Scottish Terrier no matter how difficult they may be, since I saw a couple and fell instantly in love.  Better judgment prevailed, and I was able to walk away, dog-free.  But now that a beautiful specimen is in the spotlight, I am gently reminded of why I love this breed so much.  It’s a man’s dog, and many U.S. presidents have owned one, like Franklin Delano Roosevelt and George W. Bush.  It needs a lot of space to run around in, and it needs stern discipline if you don’t want a headstrong tyrant in your hands.

It’s a stunning dog.  The few I’ve seen here in Manila blew me away.  Together with the Wire-haired Fox Terrier, the Italian Greyhound, and the Pomeranian, The Scottish Terrier is my ideal next dog (not that I need any more, with 4 dogs and 3 cats in my hands).  I just love dogs so much.  When I win the lotto, it’s my vow to build a shelter for unwanted dogs and cats, with a special area for my own pets.  Congrats, Sadie!

The Best And The Rest 214

I know how it is to be a true blue fan.  I’ve lined up in queues just to get an autograph, I’ve even slept in a sleeping bag outside a mall just to get tickets to a concert in the U.S.  I’ve bought stacks of magazines of my favorites even if it’s just a line or two about them.  I’ve had shouting matches at the top of my voice during debates in defense of my favorites when pitted against another.  It’s not an alien concept for me to be a rabid fanatic of a celebrity in music or movies.
