"SONGS FOR VICTIMS OF AGENT ORANGE" A SUCCESS
|
|
Last Oct. 28, the Caravelle held a fundraiser for the victims of Agent Orange. We performed that night, along with the Male Welsh Choir. It was a very touching event, as someone from the Vietnam Handicapped Children Relief Association gave a speech and showed us a video of the poor children they were taking care of.
Donations from the event amounted to almost US$15,000. Yay!
We just got this clip from the hotel, and I'd like to share it with you guys, since the band was featured in the video. This was taken from a local news program, so I hope you can understand Vietnamese. Hehe.

RANTINGS OF A FUTURE OLD MAID - PART 2
|
|
Ching and I went out for some drinks at the Q after work last night, and this cute guy came up and started flirting with me. He started off by re-introducing himself (we met thru a common friend a few months back), and not letting go of my hand.
WOLF: I saw you singing at the Caravelle the other night. I think you're really cute. I wanted to come up and talk to you but I was with my girlfriend.
ME: Uh... Yeah, thanks. But yes, you do have a girlfriend, and I don't want to swing that way.
WOLF: I think you're really cute. But the problem is that my girlfriend comes from this really prominent family, so she has bodyguards and everything.
ME: Well then that gives me even more reason not to mess around with you.
WOLF: But I wish you would. I know I wanna mess around with you.
ME: Not gonna happen.
After that, he just kept passing by our table, flirting, holding my hand, putting his malicious hands on my waist, and all that man-wolf sh*t. And whenever he'd pass by and I was talking to another guy, he'd flirt with Ching instead. Sheesh! Oh, take note that his girlfriend was there at the bar with him. Amazing! And they wonder why I don't have a boyfriend?!?
Anyway, here are some funny (but true) sayings about men/wolves:
* If
they put a man on the moon, they should be able to put them all up there.
* Go
for younger men. You might as well - they never mature anyway.
* Men are all the
same - they just have different faces, so that you can tell them apart.

CROCODILE BAG
|
A Filipino man who flew home from Cambodia said he was carrying live fish in
his carry-on luggage, until a check at Manila airport revealed three
1.5-foot-long crocodiles, officials said.
The head of the Manila International Airport Authority said
Wednesday it wasn't clear how Enrique Yu Castillo, 50, was able to carry the
Siamese crocodiles from Phnom Penh to Singapore to Manila on Monday night.
The crocodiles are on an endangered species list and their
importation is prohibited, airport manager Alfonso Cusi said in a statement.
He said charges were being readied against Castillo, while
the reptiles were turned over to the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources.
Castillo had earlier sought a permit to import the exotic
animals but his application was denied, said Teddy Aguir, from the environment
department's Wildlife Traffic Monitoring unit at the airport.
Crikey! I want a tiger or a dolphin.

TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT
|
|
Some regular guests at the SSB have been telling me recently that I lost a lot of weight. Too much, they say, that I'm now thin, and not sexy. I don't see it though. I don't see myself as thin at all. Anyway, when I'm thinner, I feel lighter. And that helps me dance better on stage.
Today though, I read something about Ana Carolina Reston and Luisel Ramos. These two models passed away this year, at 21 and 22 years of age, due to anorexia. Their diets? Apples and tomatoes for Reston, and lettuce and Diet Coke for Ramos. Sad.
Model, Patty Oliveira, has this to say: "They still say she (Reston) had a perfect body. But a perfect body is a healthy body".
I couldn't agree with her more. So maybe I should just go ahead and eat...? Sigh.

I HEART ART
|
|
What is a true "artist"? I mean, if you can make beautiful music by singing or playing an instrument, you are an artist. If you can draw or paint, you are an artist. If you can make a pretty item out of scraps of many different things, you are an artist. If you can take beautiful pictures, you are an artist. If you can write poetry or novels, you are an artist.
Hmmm... I guess being an "artist" is being able to create or make something out of nothing.
So I am an artist! Hehe. But how I wish I had the ability to make things from scrap, or to draw, even. I tried both, but my finished product always turned out sh*tty.
Check out this site on cute crafts that you can make. You'll enjoy looking at the creations, whether or not you are an "artist".

WHO SAYS TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE?
|
|
What is wrong with Filipino men?! Why can't they keep their d*cks in their pants and just avoid trouble?!
This article, for example, tells of some military and gov't officials in the Philippines who were fugitives but were caught while they were with their lovers. Typically Filipino. The wives gave them shit after they were captured though.
I say cut their d*cks off! Viva, Lorena Bobbitt! Haha!
But really now, is this a Filipino trait? Or are all men like this? Sigh... We're doomed, ladies!
"See, the problem is that God gave men two heads
(a brain and a penis),
and only enough blood to run one at a time."

KIDNAPPER'S KARMA
|
|
Now here is a good story on instant karma! Read on....
A botched kidnapping ended with one of the assailants shooting himself in the
groin, Wichita police said. The man had just stuck the gun back into his
waistband when it fired, shooting him in the left testicle. He cringed, causing the gun to fire again and strike him in the left
calf.
When the shooting ended, the 23-year-old man managed to walk himself into the
hospital for treatment, police said. He and his two accomplices, ages 18 and 20,
were arrested for aggravated attempted kidnapping and conspiracy to obstruct
justice.
The men were attempting to kidnap a teen in a dispute over stereo speakers,
police said.
Harsh! But, hmmm... I think I know a few men who deserve this kind of karma! Wehehehehe....

Translation:
Here's a crazy idea if ever there was one! I don't know who the members of the New Zealand's Qualifications Authority are, but I think it's insane for them to allow text-speak on exams. They call it today's teens' second language, but why allow this in schools, where they are supposed to be teaching proper English? Unbelievable!
