I really wanted to punch her face until I found out this GAME, the best game there is – walang sinabi ang CounterStrike, Grand Theft Auto or any RPG games diyan. This GAME is indeed a stress reliever. Itataya ko ang mga utang ko na magugustohan ninyo ito. You will thank me for this.

Locals say that Fremont was the original Vegas not the modern Vegas that most people know – …

Commercial muna tayo dito sa Barrio…..
I did concede to one common suggestion of some people that I have to try shooting another kind of subject aside from flowers. Masunorin po talaga ako.
So here it is, nakakita ako ng butiki sa kisame este sa kahoy. Kinausap ko siya na maging model ko at magpose para sa akin. Buti nalang at pinagbigyan niya ang kahilingan ko. I didn’t know that butikis are so photogenic pala. Tingnan niyo…

Ganda niya, di ba? At may props pa siyang bulaklak! Bonggaciousness!

Hulaan nyo kung sino ako! Hehehe!

Pag nagbabagyo, nakikituloy kami sa bahay ng aming tiyohin sa dahilang ang bahay kubo namin ay hindi matibay. Nagiba ng bagyo ang una naming bahay .

Candy Pangilinan is in good company. Malu Fernandez, Tracy Borres, Chip Tsao and Boyet Fajardo.
“Akala nyo Igorot ako, hindi ako Igorot, tao po ako!”

Ito ang chinorva ni Candy Pangilinan during sa isang show in SM-Baguio. Of all places, pinili nya ang Baguio to utter such bigotry against our fellow- Filipinos, the Igorots. Hindi tao ang tingin niya sa mga Igorot? Ano pala? Alien? Buti walang bumato sa kanya ng garapon na may tinapay, dos por dos, baboy, manok, baka at kung ano ano pa. This goes to show that the …
