Was browsing through Craigslist (it's like Buy and Sell classifieds in Pinas) and found this funny entry. He wasn't actually selling or buying anything but a bonafide classified ad nonetheless...

To the guy doing my wife. You know who you are. Yes I know. No I am not angry, I would just ask a few things of you. After all you are giving it to my wife.

1.Please stop leaving the seat up, I keep getting blamed and it is starting to get old.

2.You may be giving me a chance to go fishing more often but please stop drinking all my beer. It is fine if you have a couple while you visit(god knows
I drink plenty before I find her attractive), but please leave me a few as I have to be there longer than you.

3.If you do drink the last one buy more or leave money on the counter I will pick some up.

4.Please replace the toilet paper when you use it all. For some reason my 5 year old son belives if its not there he does not have to wipe. We keep it under the sink, unless you can recomend a better spot?

5.After doing my wife please use something disposable to wipe off with. The basket of clothes on the right is mine and the clothes are clean as my wife does not do my washing, Irun out of time rushing to work. Last week my sweatshirt was crusty(thanks).

6.Please do not tell my children that you are their uncle, they are young not
mentaly challenged.

7.Please stop turning the heat up, You pay nothing and MUD is putting it in my ass, my wife may like it but I think it hurts.

8.When she asks "do these pants make me look fat", say no. You may think giving a different answer will make her think twice about eating a gallon of ice cream a day but all you are doing is giving her a reason to go buy more pants that she will look just as fat in.

9.Stop eating the baked goods. The brownies you ate were from my mom for my birthday. My wife has not cooked anything that good for years and if she does she will not share.

10.Try shifting your weight when you sit on my chair. The recliner that I rarely have time for (soccer games and practice, basketball camp for the kids takes much of my time and I try to help with school work too)has a grove in it that forces me to roll to the left.

Lastly I would like thank you for taking her to lunch on Valentines Day. She was not as hungry as usual and only orded one meal.I may be able to use the money I saved to take the children to a movie. I hope you can help me with these items, it may become ackward if I have to confront her. If you can do this for me I will give you a heads up on when I will be gone and for how long so that you don't feel rushed.

P.S. I am going to take the kids to the Great Wolf Lodge on the 3rd of April for four days, I have abottle of vodka above the fridge if you find yourself low on beer.

:)

I have a Wii... so i'm definitely getting Wii Fit now. :)

Want to see Cincinnati? Watch this video to get an idea how it looks like. I've been in Cincinnati for so long I recognized most of the scenes in this video. Saw it in VH1 as the #1 video in the Top 20 countdown.

This is one of the best mash-ups i've seen lately. Wikimapia (Wikipedia + Google Maps) lets you identify areas of the google map! So you could go in and label any area in the map like your house, your office, where you had vacation, where you had your first kiss with your girlfriend, anything under the sun. I'm amused. :)

Since I got back in Manila, i've been trying to furnish my condo at the Fort. Pity, it has been available for me to use for more than a year but I've been in the US and thus wasn't able to put any time on it.

And as I try to shop around Metro Manila for what I need... I realize how people in Singapore or in the US have it "easy". They are lucky enough to have IKEA.

If you are like me who have been looking at home and decor magazines, i'm sure you'd understand what I mean. I've visited IKEA in Singapore last February and just recently the new IKEA in Cincinnati, US. And I can only wish I can bring home what I saw.

IKEA has all you need for furnishing your home... with all the key essential elements... Form, Function and Affordability!

The IKEA stores are huge. It starts at the 2nd floor where you go around showrooms of living rooms, bed rooms, bathrooms, etc where everything inside the room you can buy in the store!!! So, if you see a nice design idea you like? List down the parts and shop for them there or at the marketplace found in the 1st floor.

SMART! The layout casually leads would be buyers throughout the store making you see everything they offer then makes it very easy for you to find them on your own and put them on your shopping cart.

When I was in Cincinnati, I had a chance to shop and even with the criteria of: it must fit my luggage, it must be something I need, it must be something I can't find back home... I ended up with a full shopping cart! And leaving the store wishing I could bring that one nice corner office cabinet or that nice bed!

I wish we had IKEA in Manila. It would have made my life much easier and furnishing my condo much more fun.

 

See this quick poll we saw on our company intranet site... hmm... hard choice. I guess i'd take "n/a"

Hehe.

I should say... the next William Hung-type of American Idol is Pinoy! Presenting Renaldo Lapuz of Reno, Nevada who auditioned in Dallas Texas is the buzz from last night's American Idol show.

Although he was not introduced as being Filipino but accent and name pa lang pinoy na pinoy na.

He wasn't as bad as WH and his song is catchy. Sikat nanaman ang pinoy... sa comedy. :P


Lyrics:
I am your brother
Your best friends forever
Singing the songs, the music that you love

We’re brothers till the end of time
Together or not, you’re always in my heart
You hurt your feelings
And you’ll be running no more

This is a funny post care of Ryder. The *titi looks good on the lady on the pic. Hehe.

Loved this shirt from Julissa! "You had me at hell no!"

 An ordinary car with an extraordinary plate number. You can't get this in Manila. When asked why, what does it mean... well... It does say "Your mother"... nothing bad about that right?

This was taken from my relative's car in Cleveland.

Visited a Filipino family here in Cincinnati and we saw this... Nike came out with a limited edition basketball shoe with Philippine flag design. I thought that was interesting. Yeah, we pinoys love our basketball.

And I think it came with this shoe box too... o DIBA? Haha. This is an actual brand name for shoes here in the US.

 Here's a gift idea... there's a lot of nice "graphic tees" that i've seen here... one of them is this very funny shirt. Funny because it reminded me of a good friend who is indeed engaged to be married. Another friend did give it to him as a gift and everybody thought that it was very fitting gift. He knows who he is.

In a totally unrelated item, Maxi and I found this drink in a grocery store. I didn't know La Salle had it's own Vodka! And of course it's green!

Hmm. Maybe I should bring one home.
