MOSCOW, (UPI) -- Police allege a teenager from Ulyanovsk, Russia, fatally stabbed her best friend with a pair of tweezers.
"It was a frenzied, mad attack. You would not imagine the damage a pair of tiny eyebrow tweezers caused the poor girl," an unidentified police officer told the Daily Mail in a story published Monday.
Kristina Danilova, 18, allegedly flew into a rage after her childhood friend, Olga Samoilenko, 18, told her she was ugly and would never get a boyfriend, the Mail reported.
Police said Samoilenko was stabbed more than 100 times with the tweezers and bled to death, the Mail reported.
Danilova, who allegedly called the stabbing an accident and then told police she didn't remember the attack, remained in custody Sunday, the Mail reported.

A VICTORIAN woman who beat a rare flesh-eating disease says she survived the terrifying ordeal only because she was "fat".
Clair Robinson, 23, is lucky to be alive after contracting the killer bacteria following surgery at a regional hospital. The shop assistant thought she had a fever and stomach ache until she was told the life-threatening condition was eating through her stomach muscles and body tissue.
"Being big saved my life," she said. "If I had have been smaller it would have eaten my organs and my insides. My kidneys and liver would have been eaten if I hadn't have been big.
"Maybe fat people do have a good life after all."
Ms Robinson contracted the infection, necrotising fasciitis - which is deadly in up to 50 per cent of cases - after an operation to remove cysts from her ovaries. As Ms Robinson's condition deteriorated, she was airlifted to The Alfred hospital's intensive care ward in a bid to save her. Surgeons operated every three days to remove infected skin and she received hyperbaric treatment. Medical experts have marvelled at her brave fight, which will be documented on Channel 7's Medical Emergency series on Wednesday. But the Bendigo woman said her terrifying ordeal was a blur.
"I could hear my mum talking to me, but I was too sick to even move or talk," she said.
"I just had to lay there. Everyone said 'You almost died', but I try not to think too much about that.
"I want to put it all in the past."
Her fiance Ashley Bacon proposed on a recent trip to Venice and they plan to marry on Valentine's Day.
The Alfred's plastic surgery head Michael Leung said Ms Robinson was "very lucky". "It is a scary condition because a person can go from very healthy to very sick or even die within 24 hours," he said.

It wasn't just the caffeine that gave an eastern Iowa woman an extra jolt when she had her morning cup of coffee. It was the bat she found in the coffee filter.
Officials with the Iowa Department of Public Health said the woman reported seeing a bat in her house but wasn't overly worried about it. They said she turned on her automatic coffee maker before she went to bed and had her coffee the next morning.
They said she discovered the bat in the filter in the coffee maker when she went to clean it out that night.
Officials said the woman, who wasn't identified, underwent treatment for rabies.
They said the bat was sent to a state lab for testing but its brain was too cooked by the heat of the brewing water to determine if it had rabies.

AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti is following in the footsteps of Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger as he shows his penchant for youngsters and signs a 9-year-old, according to reports.
A report by Lesdessousdusport.fr claims that the Italian giants have already snapped up 9-year-old Edgardo Obregon.
Born in Mexico, “el Gato” (the cat) has already suited up for Chivas de Guadalajara and Barcelona. The youngster had trials at Milanello, and the Rossoneri are looking to invest in him as one for the future.
It is suggested that the Rossoneri have heaped high praise on Obregon and that he will be offered a place at the Milan academy to grow and develop his football, receiving the best coaching and support in the process.
Obregon is outstanding for his age group and he plays as a “trequartista,” or attacking midfielder. He has impressed the scouts with his skills, dribbling and vision, and he has an eye for goal.
However, Milan will need to be careful as putting too much pressure on the elementary school boy may backfire badly. Many will remember the story of Sonny Pike who signed for Ajax as a 7-year-old in the mid-1990s, only for his dream to end up in smoke.

LOS ANGELES - A man faces criminal charges for allegedly stealing a uniform from Dodger Stadium and posing as one of the team's players.
Ronald Higgins pleaded not guilty to several charges Friday, including burglary and trespassing.
The 47-year-old Higgins was arrested Wednesday morning after a security guard found him walking on the field in a Dodgers uniform and holding a glove with two balls. Higgins allegedly identified himself as a Dodgers player, but the guard recognized him from an earlier incident and called police.
Prosecutors say Higgins' clothes were later found in the bat boys' locker room. It was not immediately clear where he got the uniform.
If convicted, Higgins could spend nearly four years in state prison.

The issue about Catie is almost done, but still the hacker texts me about it. He threatens to sue me of what I did to Catie, and that's the problem, I didn't do anything to Catie, I didn't even reveal her name and other personal info. I just blogged about what happened and shared it to people who don't use Multiply. But since this stupid gay hacker can't understand it, he keeps on insisting stuff against me. He's really a jackass, and very uneducated. To prove my point, here are the text messages that he sent to me last night. (Sorry to my readers who can't understand tagalog, most texts are in that language, very sorry.)
"R us sure?!we are willing to sue those who posted in that site.ako ang tunay na may kasalanan di c catie kng gs2 nyo ako apihin nyo wala mwawala kc di ako tgalasalle.r u really from lasalle?!cathy is a true lasallite. kya nsasaktan sya mrmi na nang aapi sa knya kya maawa kyo.ako n lng gulpihin nyo kng matapang kyo.kya nmn magdemanda!! duwag k nga dhl di mo masagot twag ko.gosh ikw ang ngkukunwaring lasalista!! ikw ang mahirap!!"
So of course I was confused after that, because I didn't do anything. So I replied, then he texted again.
"So wats the reason of making a site about catie?! yumaman kb o sumikat.is dat a virtue of a true lasallite to humiliate an innocent person.db sabi ko di c catie yun.ako ang gumawa.willing pa akng bayaran ka khit mgkano pero ano gmwa kp ng site.gosh, lasallite kb tlga o feeling lng?!ikw ang scalper na tunay!!catie is a true lasallite kya masakit sa knya sya inaaway dun.busy ka o takot sumagot?!well we have all da rights to sue you mayaman kmi and we have evidence kpg di mo inerase site mo.gumawa kp ng site pra mgpasikat.hoy di kmi cheap n katulad nung example mo dhil feeling tlga un gaya m n lasallista dw!"
Ooooh, they're rich, scary. Sheesh. Very annoying.
"Wel hahaha!!u r a coward! if u thinks u will bec popular also kng gagawa k ng sarili mng site well idedemanda k lng nmn nmin.kng akla mo poser c catie ako ang nanggamit but we can still sue you kc sino kb?!lasalle main kb?!o feeling?! u r da scalper kaya wala k right sbhin na ngkukunwari c catie na walang alm dhil ako nmn talaga!!if u think mpgkunwaring patay gutom lng ang gmawa nun at knakaya kaya m lng well kaya k nmin sirain rin dhil mayaman kmi kht kp mkpgharap db sabi ko ako apihin nyo mkkpgharap ako.ang ini example m kc patay gutom na di edukado kya kht gawan m ng site wala mgagawa di mkakalaban! pwes ibahin mo kmi dhil ako sisira syo mismo! tandaan mo yan!! di mkkpgaral c catie c lasalle kng wala kmi pera ikw tga saan kb tlga?! marami kmi ebidensya khit ung site mo pa lang hahaha!kng tgalasalle ka mas matakot ka kc gagamitin nmn un laban syo!"
Scary... not! What the hell is this guy's problem? Can't get enough of it? Too bad I need to go now, so many things to do. If you want to know his number, do comment here and I'll give it to you with no regrets. haha! One last text, :P
"Stil dr?!di ka nga nasisira dhil wala kng identity di ka rin nmn yumaman at sumikat!hahaha! i pity the fool! ur cheap mkha nmng masisira mk! cno nmn tnakot m?! e demanda lng nmn kta! at sisirain pa kita. di k masisira e pwde nmn ipatrace identity m thru ur site.haha! ikw ang pipinuhin k pgngkataon! buong family mo sisirain k! haha! atsk wala mwawala skin dhil wla nmn k intention sumikat gaya mo POOR! ang ceap mo! i hav money kya ipapatrace k identity m at ipapatv!"
That's his last text to me just now. Isn't he funny? I really would like to see him or know his name. Lastly check this out, because in his other text he bragged about Catie's mom to be a lawyer and such. This one is Catie's mom commenting on my post about her.
"To all those who read these comments against my daughter, Cathy please leave my daughter alone. She kept on crying about this and texted me that she will no stop going to school anymore. I told her that the idea is crazy since the person who did it is a psychotic and needs a psychiatrist to cure his illness. We know him a lot PERO DI NAMIN SI PAPATULAN BAHALA NA SA KANYA ANG DIYOS. PLEASE JUST LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE AND PLEASE STOP MAKING NASTY COMMENTS AGAINST HER BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HER PERSONALLY. SHE IS SHY AND IT IS VERY IMPOSSIBLE THAT SHE WILL WRITE A VERY OUT OF THIS WORLD COMMENTS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL"
She even despise him. hahaha! So please to those who know him, reveal him here. Let's have fun.

In game 2 of the UAAP Men's Basketball Championship on September 25, 2008, the Eagles destroyed the defending champs, the Green Archers.
On the first half, it was a close fight, not until Chris Tiu bombarded De La Salle with mid range shots. Ateneo led as much as 13 -16 points in the game, even Rabeh Al-Hussaini wasn't playing. That's how strong Ateneo's basketball team is. Though I root for De La Salle, I honestly feel that their chances of winning was fairly low, and the game proved it right.
Can't remember any highlights from the game except for Ferdinand's dunk in the first quarter and the superb shot blocking skills of Baclao, he really is worth the Defensive Award.
Although I feel there's a lot of calls called against DLSU that wasn't appropriate, even without those irregular calls, Ateneo would still win it. With the offensive juggernaut skilled Tiu and Al-Hussaini, I never doubted they'll lose, but of course I hoped La Salle would win.
Congratulations Ateneans, that was a one big fight.
So here's the catch, this person is actually against the whole crowd in the thread that I did, which was supposed to be for selling my Ateneo vs De La Salle Game 2 tickets.
Before tension rose, the first one to give a comment was jprx8, he vocally bashed scalpers and was totally against it, since I was one, I replied exchanged statements. But after sometime this so-called Catie098 gave a comment out of nowhere, where she questioned and gave negative comments to both arguments. So just there, she already looked confused.
So since jprx8 was against scalpers and Catie098 defended scalpers, they started fighting, and on the way there, some people gave side comments until Catie098 bashed all of them.
Catie098 claims superiority to all because she is from La Salle and she is rich, well that's how almost all people felt about her statements. Though like that, she was described as illiterate and confused. Personally I think she is making a fool out of herself, bashing all people and claiming she is all that, which I think she's not. She even said that she will just give away the tickets that she had for free and she'll even treat us after the game, that's how boastful she is. And also, she called her so-called enemies as JOLOGS, POOR, PATAY GUTOM, and not worth it to be Lasallians. Harsh.
The latest news about it is, Catie098's statements saying the one replying as Catie098 isn't Catie098 really, he/she is only using her account to sell tickets. Catie098 has two users, hmm, believable? Or a fire exit to a fire that's been eating her alive on the thread? Imagine, 200+ viewers are all against you, what do you do? And they even saw your picture and study at the school where you are studying too, what's more awkward than that?
This is even worst than what Pablo Banila did to his reputation, because the people you actually bashed are all common faces. Well, I mean, accessible in some sort.
Catie098, if I were you, go ahead and ignore them, the thread will probably stop after a day, but if the viewers remember your face and actually see you in school, get ready for flaring stares, you'll probably get it the whole day.
To see the whole story, go here. For sure it'll probably eat up your leisure time, reading 300++ comments? Good luck. hahaha. By the way if you aren't a multiply user, create now! You're missing a lot, after creating go to http://delasalleuniversity.multiply.com and join the group, and click the link I gave you. Enjoy.
Update: (September 25, 2008 1:26am)
Ok, got a call from the one who really used the profile Catie098, he was a guy, and he asked me if I can delete the thread, which I will do by tomorrow maybe. Well he sounds sincere and he even tried to bribe me, as much as it is tempting, I shouldn't black mail him. hahaha. So this was all a false alert, Pablo Banila is still our online enemy #1.
More update: (September 25, 2008 10:00pm)
The Catie098 account was deleted.

A preliminary autopsy report indicated the Sunday night death of a Dixie County man was apparently a freak accident.
Carl U. Thomas, 29, was found in an unattached shed near the home where he had been living at 94 SE 452nd St., an area southeast of Cross City.
Witnesses told deputies that Thomas had gone to the shed to do laundry. When he did not return to the house, witnesses said they went to look for him and found him on the floor next to a clothes dryer shortly before 7:49 p.m.
Deputies said the witnesses performed CPR until an ambulance arrived. Thomas was taken by ambulance to the Old Town helipad, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arriving.
According to the Dixie County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Chad Reed, an autopsy by the Medical Examiner’s Office in Gainesville showed the tentative cause of death was “positional asphyxiation with the contributing cause of electrocution.”
Reed said it appeared that in the process of plugging in the dryer, Thomas fell between appliances in such a way that he could not breathe.
A licensed electrical contractor was called in to test the dryer and electrical circuit. The contractor noted that the electrical system did not meet current standards. When the dryer was plugged in, it became energized, Reed said, and had the potential to shock someone who touched it.

Tiny tearaway skier Gustav Legnavsky could well grow up to become a giant of New Zealand sport. The 2-year-old has turned heads on the ski slopes at Cardrona Alpine Resort throughout the season and will be the youngest competitor in the halfpipe event at the junior nationals next week.
The Wanaka toddler is capable of skiing advanced runs, terrain parks, and mountain features that would discourage most people. At an age when most children are putting their parents through the terrible 2s, Gustav is instead taking on the 5.7m-high walls of the Cardrona superpipe.His parents, Pete and Bridget, said the super active toddler had a sports box at home, rather than the average toddler's toy box. He can already ride a bike - without trainer wheels - has his own skateboard, likes to roller-blade around the house, and plays golf.
"He's not a uniquely talented kid or anything," Mrs Legnavsky claims.
She puts Gustav's development and early interest in skiing down to the "interesting lifestyle" the family leads, which gives him opportunities many other children do not have. It could also have something to do with the family genes. The Legnavskys' ski industry careers have taken them around the world.
Mr Legnavsky, a free-ski coach originally from Slovakia, has spent the past 10 years teaching at Cardrona. Mrs Legnavsky, raised in Tekapo, is the snowsports manager at the skifield. When the Otago Daily Times visited Gustav, the toddler had one thing on his mind.
"I want to go skiing," he said, venting his frustration at the blizzard-like conditions at Cardrona, which had kept him in the skifield creche all day. Mrs Legnavsky says instead of playing baby games the family goes skiing together. The goal is to have fun and set Gustav up with the alpine skills and opportunities that "European kids" grow up with when surrounded by snow.
"Sometimes he's out there ski-ing with a dummy in his mouth . . . chasing the other kids around. He only goes skiing when he wants to."
With other Wanaka-raised snowsports stars, such as the free-skiing Wells siblings, starting the sport early and going on to compete at international level, little Gustav could one day be New Zealand's next twin-tipped riding talent.
As I said, if Al-Hussaini or Tiu cannot be contained, Ateneo will win. And indeed they won, but with only Al-Hussaini bombing and dominating the La Salle defense. Al-Hussaini played spectacular with 31 points, while Tiu was on the bench most of the game due to foul trouble. One player of ADMU also played a great game, in the name of Baclao. Baclao didn't score much, but did a fantastic job on the defensive side, Baclao blocked 5 shots (please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not really sure if it is 5 blocks) included is his exceptional block to the driving Maierhoffer in the last seconds of the ball game. After that block, Baclao became furious and showed his adrenaline while shouting towards to the sitting Maierhoffer (on the court).
So what are the reasons why DLSU lose besides the great game of Al-Hussaini and the astonishing plays of the Ateneo?
One is Casio's low shooting percentage, in my previous post, I said that the chance of La Salle in winning is Casio's scoring escapade, but because he had a bad game, La Salle had a hard time scoring. Barua didn't step up too, that's why even with the very active Maierhoffer, De La Salle still didn't lead the game. Another thing is DLSU's defense in the closing quarters, in the first half, La Salle did great defensively but in the second half, their defense fluctuated. More and more scores of Ateneo came from uncontested shots. And lastly is De La Salle's poor shooting from the three-point range, as the commentators said, DLSU is the leading team in three-point percentage in this season, but in this game, their three-point shots just weren't there.
With Ateneo gaining the lead of the series, with 1-0, De La Salle's chances of winning the trophy went down rapidly.
To DLSU fans, let's just hope that Casio will do good in game 2 and hold Ateneo until Sunday. While to the ADMU fans, congratulations you're very close in getting gold. Shoot! I root for La Salle, dammit. haha.

DAVISON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — As gifts go, Jim Richardson's choice for his father's 79th birthday was a long shot.
Virgil Richardson fondly remembered the .30-caliber M1 Garand rifle he carried during his time as a soldier during the Korean War.
He even still had the weapon's serial number.
Using that number, Jim Richardson went online and found the firearm at a Kentucky gun broker.
"I couldn't even talk when he gave it to me," Virgil Richardson told The Flint Journal. "It didn't even have to be the same gun to be important to me."
About 7 million of the sturdy rifles were produced during the Korean War period, making the odds of finding the right one so long that the broker didn't believe the serial number matched, said Jim Richardson, 54, of Saginaw County's Frankenmuth, about 70 miles northwest of Detroit.
"After the war, the soldiers couldn't bring the rifles back with them," Jim Richardson said. "They stayed in Korea (until the 1980s), when they were able to be imported back to the United States."
He won't say exactly how much he spent, but some collectors have paid as much as $3,000. He gave the Garand to his father last week, although the elder Richardson's birthday isn't until next month.
Virgil Richardson served from 1951-53 as an Army radio operator in the 25th Infantry Division. When he speaks of the war, the General Motors Corp. retiree often mentions the rifle's accuracy and dependability, as well as his own marksmanship.
"My sister lives in the country, and it came up that you could shoot a deer right from the deck of her home," Jim Richardson said. "Dad made a comment that he could hit a silhouette target at 500 yards without a scope. Most people can't see that far without a scope."
Virgil Richardson said he'll wait until his Oct. 26 birthday to shoot the weapon.
"What shocked me the most is how very heavy it is," he said. "I have trouble now holding it up and aiming it. I guess they were made for 20- and 21-year-olds."

TAMPA -- A man was killed after being struck by a car early today, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office reported.
Just after 4 a.m., Brett Johnson Bailey, 19, of Tampa, was laying in the southbound lanes of Sheldon Road, north of Waters Avenue, when he was struck by a 2002 Acura Integra, driven by Stephanie Marisol Maisonet, 26, of Tampa, the Sheriff's Office reported. Bailey died at the scene.
Maisonet told deputies she didn't see Bailey on the road until it was too late. She was not cited or charged.
Witnesses told deputies that Bailey had been drinking alcohol at a party prior to the incident.
-- Jessica Vander Velde, Times staff writer
At times like this, should the driver be accused? I mean, it wasn't his/her fault right? Or in other scenarios like, a person runs suddenly across the highway, and you didn't see it, will you be accused if you accidentally hit him? It is pretty fair if you aren't right?

Again for the nth time, DLSU and ADMU will battle for the UAAP Men's Basketball Championship. Araneta coliseum will surely record one of the most crowded events yet again. The coliseum will be divided in two in this event, the blue and the green. This will be one of the most memorable events in 2008, I assure that.
Though I have never watched any Ateneo v.s. La Salle game yet, I can already imagine the atmosphere it will deliver. Huge cheers and boos will collide, and an intense basketball action will be seen. I even heard that in the first 3 hours of the selling of tickets in Araneta for this game, tickets were already sold out. And I also heard that avid fans are willing to pay as much as 7000 pesos for a ticket. Imagine that! They are that desperate and excited to watch the game, surprising ain't it. However, we all know this isn't an event that can be compared to any fights of Pacquiao where, the whole Philippines comes to a stop, but I am sure that this will be in headlines, and news reel all over the country. I even believe that a basketball game between De La Salle and Ateneo is more popular and more watched than any game in the PBA, do you agree? Well, what's more intriguing and exciting than living and watching the aged-rivalry of these two schools right?
So enough of the anticipation of the event, I also want to talk about the teams and how they are in the court.
But before that, let's discuss what happened last season. Last season was the coming back debut of DLSU from suspension. Ateneo beat La Salle 2 out the 3 meetings they had, due to the loss to La Salle, Ateneo fought a better team which beat them in continuing to the finals. On the other hand, La Salle got their cards straight and continued on to fight with the UE Red Warriors for the championship. UE was the favored team, well simply because they sweeped the season, they were undefeated, but DLSU proved critics wrong, they beat the UE Red Warriors 2-0, in a best of three series, spectacular right. As the cliche says, "The ball is round" it can go either ways, so let's just sit and watch who'll win this year.
But of course I have my bet and review of each team.
The archer's ace is its superb defense and outside shooting, if they can sustain their intense defense and high percentage shooting particularly in the 3 point range, DLSU can get gold. It's too much to ask, I know, so here are some little tips to trigger and spark their game up.
Give Casio place to move, give him screens, give him the ball and let him find his range. A productive Casio means a winning De La Salle team. But of course role players should do their job, rebound, defend well, and be active on the court. A scorer like Barua can also spark the offense, and the center slashing Maierhoffer can give the frontcourt of Ateneo a hard time. In the defense side, La Salle should hold Tiu to only assists or most probably, don't let him get the ball as well as Al-Hussaini. He is the most dominant center between the two teams, if he can't get the ball, he cannot score, so as much as possible, block entry passes to him in the post and let him be in the perimeter. With all roles being done efficiently De La Salle can have a shot at gold fighting the favored and spectacular team of Ateneo.
On the other hand, ADMU's ace is its scoring escapade. They just can't be stop in the offensive end, they're just unstoppable there.
Ateneo should always clear the passing lanes for Al-Hussaini, who is dominant in the post. If they cannot utilize that advantage, they should make Tiu, Buenafe, and Salamat their plan b. The slashing Buenafe and Salamat will definitely give La Salle's frontcourt a headache, while the all around player Tiu, will do good anywhere as long as he has the ball. In terms of defense, they should do anything they can to prohibit Casio from receiving the ball and blocking all his passage ways going to the rim. Casio is just to slick for any defense as long as he is shooting the ball well. And don't let Barua and Maierhoffer score more than 10 points as much as possible, they are the second leading scorers in the team. Most probably those are the players that Ateneo should check out. Others can also score, but not as effective as the three. Keep up the defense and take good care of the ball, because as I said, De La Salle is a great defender, limit turnovers. With a high powered offense and a little bit of extra effort in defense, Ateneo will reach the top undoubtedly.
Ooh, a long post, it just shows how I love the sport, oh and by the way I'm from De La Salle University, and I still believe that they can win it. Never lose hope! But yeah, it will be a hard fought game to become the champion, Ateneo is just that good this year. Watch the first game on Studio 23 on September 21, 2008. I just don't know what time, but it always starts between 2:00-4:00pm depends if it is the first game or the second.
Just saw the video for the first single of the coming back rock icon Rico Blanco, named Yugto. Before I share my opinion about it, here's the video first.
The one thing that immediately popped into my mind was Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, it doesn't sound anything like that song but the style of music that Rico Blanco used resembles the style of Bohemian Rhapsody, right?
With all those effects like, the choir, sudden change in beats, slow beats to fast tunes, soft melody to hard-rocking chords, and more. Get my point? I'm not saying that it is not good, I'm just saying I think it resembles it greatly. But all in all the song is fairly unique, having the retro feel to it and the modern day rock theme. Rico Blanco is indeed a music genius, he experimented with new beats and fused it with the trend now and the trend in the past. The song have a rating of 9 out of a perfect 10 for me. And for you?

An Italian model who swears she has never had sex plans to sell her virginity for one million euros, or £792,000.
Showgirl and men's magazine model Raffella Fico, 20, told an Italian magazine: "I can't wait to see who's going to pull out the money to have me."
Miss Fico, who appeared in the Italian version of Big Brother earlier this year, said she would use the cash to buy a house in Rome and pay for acting classes.
"I don't know what it's like to have sex," she told the magazine, Chi, adding that if the man who bought her virginity was ugly then she would quickly get over it.
"If I don't like him I'll just have a glass of wine and forget about it," said the aspiring actress from Naples - hometown of screen siren Sophia Loren.
Her family insisted that despite her good looks and sexy image, she remained a virgin.
"She's never had a boyfriend. I swear on my mother's grave. She's a devout Catholic and prays to Padre Pio every night," her brother told the magazine.
She is the not the first woman to auction her virginity for a large sum. An 18-year-old US student in San Diego, Natalie Dylan, recently told the Howard Stern show she would have sex for the first time for $1 million to pay her college fees.
In 2005 a Peruvian model, also 18, put herself up for sale to help pay her family's medical bills but ended up having second thoughts and turning down $1.5 million.

It would be easy to assume that the first month of Cameron Chase’s life followed the monotonous cycle of eat-sleep-poop familiar to any new parent. But anyone who has read his oft-updated profile on Totspot, a site billed as Facebook for children, knows better. Cameron, of Winter Garden, Fla., has lounged poolside in a bouncy seat with his grandparents, noted that Tropical Storm Fay passed by his hometown, and proclaimed that he finds the abstract Kandinsky print above his parents’ bed “very stimulating!”
Hailing from Winnipeg, Ontario, Dominic Miguel Alexander Carrasco, 7 months old, uses his Totspot page to share his obsessions with his entourage. His fave nickname? Buddy or Big Boy. His fave book? “Green Eggs and Ham.” His fave food? Unsurprisingly, “mom’s milk.”
Of course, these busy social networkers don’t actually post journal entries. Their sleep-deprived parents are behind the curtain.
“It does feel a little funny to personalize it in his voice and be connecting to other babies as him,” said Kristin Chase, 29, Cameron’s mother, who updates his page at least every other day.
But considering that relatives clamor for updates, she enjoys being able to catalog 10-week-old Cameron’s doings in one Web-accessible place.
Call it convenient. Call it baby overshare. But a host of new sites, including Totspot, Odadeo, Lil’Grams and Kidmondo, now offer parents a chance to forgo the e-mail blasts of, say, their newborn’s first trip home and instead invite friends and family to join and contribute to a network geared to connecting them to the baby in their lives.
“It’s an interesting model,” said Amanda Lenhart, a senior research specialist for the Pew Internet & American Life Project. “Everyone can decide how much or little they want to know about a baby, which avoids the situation of receiving a few too many e-mails about someone’s wonderful child, and parents can decide how much they want to share — in minimal or maximal ways.”
But does the world really need online social networking for babies?
A few entrepreneurs and many Web-forward parents think so. As of this month, Totspot has accumulated 15,000 users. Kidmondo and Lil’Grams, both started last year, each have thousands of users worldwide.
“We’re seeing a rising tide of parenting interest on social networks,” said Adam Ostrow, the editor of Mashable, a news blog about social networking sites. “Recently, I’ve noticed a lot of Facebook users are adding their children to their profiles.” While pregnant, Erin Carrasco, 25, mother of Dominic, befriended other moms-to-be online, whose newborns became part of Dominic’s network on Totspot. And now on Thursdays, a few of those baby friends (and their moms) join Carrasco and Dominic offline in a group focusing on babies’ health. Founders of this new breed of baby sites, for all their networking aspirations, allow parents to choose whom they want to invite to view and share information about their child. Totspot even has a feature that allows users to track who has visited their child’s Web page and when.
But John Palfrey, a professor at Harvard Law School and an author of “Born Digital: Understanding the First Generation of Digital Natives,” warns that parents posting the intimate details of their children’s lives need to ask not only who has access to this content, but also who owns it. “Whether or not they realize it as such,” he said, “parents are contributing to their child’s digital dossier. And, who sees that dossier later on may be of concern.”
Not to mention that children whose relatives have traded minutiae about everything from their burp frequencies to the very hour they first rolled over may be, once teenagers, awed — or embarrassed — by the level of detail in their ghostwritten bildungsroman.
Karen Kavanaugh, for one, hopes her 7-month-old daughter will one day find her Totspot page touching.
“After all, I’m not raising a baby, I’m raising a woman,” said Kavanaugh, 35, of Hollywood, Fla.
“I want to do that with dignity and respect and not put things online that she may later wish I never had.”

Mickey Mouse is a corrupting influence and must die, a Muslim cleric has declared. Sheikh Muhammad Munajid claimed the mouse is "one of Satan's soldiers" and makes everything it touches impure. But he warned that depictions of the creature in cartoons such as Tom and Jerry, and Disney's Mickey Mouse, had taught children that it was in fact loveable.
The cleric, a former diplomat at the Saudi embassy in Washington DC, said that under Sharia, both household mice and their cartoon counterparts must be killed. Mr Munajid was asked to give Islam's teaching on mice during a religious affairs programme broadcast on al-Majd TV, an Arab television network.
According to a translation prepared by the Middle East Media Research Institute, an American press monitoring service, he said: "The mouse is one of Satan's soldiers and is steered by him. "If a mouse falls into a pot of food – if the food is solid, you should chuck out the mouse and the food touching it, and if it is liquid – you should chuck out the whole thing, because the mouse is impure.
"According to Islamic law, the mouse is a repulsive, corrupting creature. How do you think children view mice today – after Tom and Jerry?
"Even creatures that are repulsive by nature, by logic, and according to Islamic law have become wonderful and are loved by children. Even mice.
"Mickey Mouse has become an awesome character, even though according to Islamic law, Mickey Mouse should be killed in all cases."
Last month Mr Munajid condemned the Beijing Olympics as the "bikini Olympics", claiming that nothing made Satan happier than seeing females athletes dressed in skimpy outfits.

An Italian husband returned home early from work to find his wife in bed with their local priest.
Following the shock discovery, the man stormed into the local bishop's office in Chioggia, near Venice, and demanded an explanation. Later police were called to calm him down.
Details of the incident in Chioggia near Venice emerged on Sunday in Italian newspapers and the local bishop Angelo Daniel has now confirmed that the adulterous priest has been sent to another parish for "reeducation".
The 53-year-old priest was described as a specialist on the Bible and had been a good friend of the couple.
The husband, 39, and his wife, 37, have two children.
Bishop Daniel added: "I have always respected the priest in question and I will continue to respect him. You cannot discount all the good a person has done in their life just because of one mistake."

A mother has relived her five-hour ordeal with a sleazy hair doctor who was found guilty this week of massaging women's breasts - 10 years after her attack.
Leading hair consultant Praminder Mankoo told his victims they needed stress relieving massages to help with their scalp problems but instead groped their breasts under the guise of 'treatment'.
After a two week trial, the father-of-four was found guilty in the Oxford Crown Court of three charges of sexual assault and one of indecent assault.
The verdict brought back terrifying memories for victim Rayne Franklin, 48, who visited his clinic in Thame, Oxfordshire in 1998.
She wanted reassurance that her hair loss did not run in the family.
Ms Franklin, of Windsor, Berkshire, said: 'He began to massage my shoulders and slowly his hand crept down until he had a full hold of my breast. Then he ripped off his coat and stripped naked.
He pushed my face into his genitals and made a disgusting comment about seeking satisfaction,' she said.
I was terrified but I knew I couldn't confront him because the door was locked, there was no one around.'
When Ms Franklin tried to escape, she said Mankoo grabbed her face and tried to drag her head down.
There was a point where I thought he was going to strangle me because he had his hands around my throat.
He finally let Ms Franklin go, but the ordeal was not quite over.
As she hurriedly put her clothes back and made for the exit, Mankoo asked for payment, and said she needed to be booked in for another appointment.
I couldn't believe it, but I nonchalantly paid up as though it was the most normal thing in the world.'
Ms Franklin said when Mankoo was cautioned by police 10 years ago, she thought it would be the end of it.
I couldn't believe it when I heard that he had continued to prey on innocent clients.
Looking back I wish I had spoken publicly about it when it happened and maybe he could have been stopped earlier.'
The court heard that Mankoo of Thame, Berkshire, would tell women to strip to their underwear to avoid getting massage oil on their clothes.
He would then rub their scalp, neck and shoulders, and reach around to touch their breasts.
One woman told how Mankoo had removed her bra and also massaged her thighs and feet.
Keeping her eyes tightly shut during the experience, out of fear, she opened them to see Mankoo dressed only in his boxer shorts.
Another woman said he had told her that her boyfriend could not help her and that he would be her 'knight in shining armour', to whom she should look to for strength.
Mankoo asked another victim if she would like to meet his 'little friend'.
The victim told the court that she even resorted to telling Mankoo she had been sexually abused as a child to try and fend off his advances.
Chairman of the Institute of Trichologists told the court categorically that no massage to help circulation to the scalp should even go to the front of the shoulders, let alone the breast area'.
Defending Mankoo, Christine Agnew said her client needed time to 'put his house in order' before sentencing.
Mr Mankoo has four children, and he is the sole breadwinner in his house. There will have to be some very particular decisions in the very near future.'
Judge Mary Jane Mowat agreed to bail for him until next month, on the condition that he did not offer any form of massage except for the scalp and not to administer any treatment at his clinic if another female was not present.

DELTONA, Fla. - An angry Deltona father whacked his teenage daughter's boyfriend with a metal pipe after finding the boy naked in his daughter's room. Authorities say the father, 45, didn't even know his daughter had a boyfriend or that the youngster had been sneaking into the home for more than a year.
When he heard noises coming from his daughter's bedroom Thursday morning and saw a stranger standing naked on the girl's bed, he swung a metal pipe. He then chased the teen out the front door and called police.
The boy was taken to the hospital where doctors closed a head wound with staples.
The father was charged with aggravated battery on a child and bonded out on $10,000.

Do you remember the previous commercials of Coke? These two commercials popped into my mind when I asked myself this question. Remember these commercials?
This one is the commercial that made Nikki Gil pretty darn famous, the beat caught viewers' ears and the song gain patronage heavily. Many really loved the song which made Nikki Gil and Coke famous.
While this one is the commercial where Coke played with the thought gaining patronage from a dance move or any routine move. And they pretty much got successful with it. The routine that the two girls are doing was so popular in the time the commercial was released, it was like the Papaya Song like today. Children, the teens, and adults are getting on with it, they all try to copy and do it. Then of course, Coke's popularity rose again extremely.
I know there are other Coke commercials out there that we can further talk about, but these two videos are the only commercials that came into my mind, so there. Reminiscent right?
This is Neil Rodreick II a 30 year-old man who enrolled as a 12 year-old in Arizona Schools. He fooled teachers, administrators, and students by shaving and wearing pancake makeup to appear younger. But due to his paperworks, teachers and school officials turned suspicious which led to authorities getting him. He is sentenced to 70 years in prison (which means life in prison, or if he lives longer than a hunred years old maybe he can live a year or two outside of prison.) Another thing is, when authorities checked his home, they found a lot of child pornography. Sick.

STC associate artistic director David Muse stages the production. The all-male casting reflects the convention of Shakespeare's time. Opening is Sept. 15.
The cast includes Finn Wittrock as Romeo and James Davis as Juliet, with Aubrey Deeker, Drew Eshelman, Ted van Griethuysen, Dan Kremer, Lawrence Redmond and Craig Wallace.
"Staged in the thrust configuration, the production features period costumes and music influenced by the Renaissance to explore theatre traditions prevalent in Shakespeare's day," according to STC.
According to STC notes, "The world's greatest and most enduring love story, Romeo and Juliet follows its star-crossed lovers as they hurtle from their first shy glances to their last heartrending kiss. Caught between their feuding families, Romeo and Juliet desperately struggle to build a world insulated from the violence, but their love races toward a final confrontation with fate."
"Shakespeare was a writer of gorgeous poetry, but I believe that the love poetry in Romeo and Juliet is especially glorious in part because Shakespeare knew that two young men would be performing it," stated director David Muse. "Shakespeare knew that he couldn't count on two actors gazing at each other to portray being in love in a way that audiences were going to believe. And so the actors need to jump into the language and make its power convince us of the power of this love. Working with an all-male cast unlocks a world of imaginative collaboration between the audience and the actors, and I hope that people will walk away with an image of this play in their heads that is different from the romanticized, stereotypical Romeo and Juliet that's lodged in our consciousness. I hope it's a play that feels fresh and dangerous and transgressive, which is a way that we don't usually think of this play."
The creative team includes set designer Scott Bradley, costume designer Jennifer Moeller, music sound design and musical direction by The Broken Chord Collective, lighting designer Lap Chi Chu, fight director Robin McFarquhar, choreographer Daniel Pelzig and text coach Ellen O'Brien.

The controversy of the car being unsafe and too weak to handle bumps have scarred this car's reputation, however, because of its cheap price and economical consumption of gas, many still buy and use it.
Chery QQ has two gasoline-powered engines, I just don't know which of the two is available here in the Philippines.
* 0.8 L SQR372 I3 DOHC 12v — 38 kW (51 hp) at 6000 rpm, 70 N·m (52 ft·lbf) at 3500 rpm
* 1.1 L SQR472F I4 DOHC 16v — 50 kW (67 hp) at 6000 rpm, 90 N·m (66 ft·lbf) at 3500 rpm
With other vehicle brands, their most economical car is a 1.3 L, but with the Chery QQ, gas consumption is lower than the usual. So definitely with gas prices high as today, the Chery QQ is a good buy.
So let's go to its safety concerns, since this is the known weakness of this car. I found a crash test of a Chery QQ, see and judge for yourself.
In that video, it looks like a typical car crashing, but is it really that sturdy? With how the car looks, I still think its weak to bumps and crashes. What do you think? Money saved or money spent?
For me it's a money saved, well as long as you're a good driver. Just don't crash it, and you'll probably save money.

A British spy who was a cross between James Bond and Robin Hood plotted to use a longbow to assassinate one of the most notorious Nazis, according to a new book.
Tommy Sneum lay in ambush in occupied Copenhagen armed with a bow and arrows to kill Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS. He planned to strike from a penthouse that belonged to a Danish film starlet he had seduced. Sneum chose a longbow because he did not want the sound of a bullet to be traced back to her flat.
The exploits of Sneum are told in a book published this week by Mark Ryan, who interviewed Sneum at length before the former spy died last year aged 89.
“He was a real-life 007, getting through a tremendous number of women and doing all kinds of spectacular stunts to evade the Nazis,” said Ryan, the author of The Hornet’s Sting, published by Piatkus. “When he was holed up in Copenhagen he was sleeping with both the mother and daughter of the house, without either knowing.”
Himmler was due to visit Copenhagen in February 1941 en route to Berlin after visiting SS recruits in Norway. Sneum was a handsome 23-year-old Danish aviator who, dismayed at the capitulation of his country, had become a British spy. He had struck up a relationship with the actress Oda Pasborg, whose flat he wanted to use.
“He was so much in love with her that he did not want to kill Himmler in a way that would hurt her,” said Ryan.
So he bought a steel bow that could be dismantled into halves to make it easy to transport unnoticed. He had a quiver of arrows, each marked April 9, 1940, the date the Nazis had overrun Denmark. In the end, however, Himmler failed to appear. After landing at Copenhagen airport he felt ill and flew on to Berlin.
Sneum had more success with other missions. He filmed German radar installations, often under the noses of the German guards, with a camera provided by MI6. He flew to Britain with his films in a Hornet Moth biplane he had found minus its wings in a barn. He and a friend, Kjeld Pedersen, rebuilt it and took off from a field.
Halfway across the North Sea Sneum had to venture out on the wing in thick fog to refuel the plane from a can of petrol while Pedersen tried to keep it steady.

You might have watched it live on TV or in Araneta Coliseum, but not all have seen it, so I need to at least tell people what happened, and besides I want to give my opinion about it.
These were the schools and their performance order;
De La Salle University - Green Archers (we came first, at least we didn't have to feel the pressure being after the best pep squads)
University of Santo Tomas - Tigers (the flips, throws, and the routine was exhilarating)
University of the Philippines - Maroons (the routine was nice and the effects that they made was really good)
From here, I'm not sure who came next, so I'll just complete the set of schools here, without their performance order.
Adamson University - Falcons (I really liked the part where they made the pyramid, and the girl who was on top was thrown upward to get there, and while there, no one was holding her)
Far Eastern University - Tamaraws (their routine was good, though I didn't see anything memorable, or its just me)
University of the East - Warriors (what's up with the umbrellas?)
Ateneo de Manila University - Blue Eagles (I really liked their costume, the girls looked so hot)
National University - Bulldogs (I just remembered the part where their background didn't work so well, when it got a little stuck in the beginning)
To those who didn't know, FEU came 2nd runner up, then UST grabbed the 1st runner up spot, and UP winning the gold. With the dominance of UST and UP in this division, all the other teams are just fighting for 2nd runner up, that's their gold already, since UP and UST always win either the 1st runner up or champion. Its like, the other teams are there only for the competition to have a 2nd runner up, haha. Well, if you saw the competition, you'll probably think the same, that either UST or UP will win it, and all the other teams are just fighting for the 2nd runner up trophy. So when the 2nd runner up choice was given, all the other teams were already frowning and sad, not even thinking that they might probably win 1st runner up or become the champion. That's how the UP pep and the UST salinggawi dominate this competition.
Are you a shopaholic? Can't get enough of fashion, gadgets, accessories, and more? Are you satisfied with what your local market provides? Do you want more imported stuff and unique items for your own sake?
Then online shopping will probably suit you, have you tried it? There are lots of online stores out there that cater to anyone who uses the internet, however not all these stores can accommodate to all countries worldwide, most of the US stores only provide service to US residents too or nearby countries only. Encountered this problem already?
I have found a solution, check it out here, MyUS.com website. It is a forwarding website which provides buyers from other countries to avail the items they want with no boundaries. It will buy for them, as if the buyer lives in US too, then it will be delivered to you by them too. Payment also isn't a hassle, MyUS accepts major international credit cards which you can use to buy products.
Shopping in the US has never been this easy and accessible, try it now, you can avail a free trial as of now. But if you buy products, of course you need to pay for it.
1. Get your own MyUS.com address in America.
2. Shop at U.S. stores online using your MyUS.com address.
3. Receive your packages anywhere in the world.
4. Enjoy great savings and shopping! 
Sorry if this post is another video post, I just need to post today, I just came back from my team building overnight with my organization in school. So I just need to post something to keep this blog in becoming stagnant for two days. Enjoy this very funny audition video of Greg.
"right here, we are on tthhee, tthhe aaah sammer." hahaha. hilarious.
By the way, I also found the same video but with subtitles, you can see it here.
It's quite some time already when this video came out, but it's so amusing that really should post this here. lol!
See this kid burst like a devil when he was disturbed and teased while he using the computer doing Myspace. It can be irritating and amusing at the same time. haha. Just check it out.
PRICELESS reaction. :D
1- Women think men are smarter
In 2008, British researcher Adrian Furnham, a psychology professor at University College London, analyzed the results of 30 international studies measuring and comparing the IQs of men and women. Although he concluded that in terms of IQ the sexes are “fairly equal overall” (a description too vague for our tastes -- did we win or not?), he also noted an important distinction in the perception of intelligence.
Collectively, men and women regard men as smarter -- smarter than they actually are, and smarter than women. Furnham traced this perception through cultures and even generations: Both sexes tend to regard their own sons, fathers and grandfathers as more intelligent than their daughters, mothers and grandmothers. He also found that men are guilty of overestimating their intelligence and that those who fall below average are the biggest culprits. Women routinely underestimate theirs, with the brighter ones being the worst offenders.
Set that against a Cornell University study called “Unskilled and Unaware of It,” which revealed that not only do incompetent people vastly overestimate their abilities, but when they fail, they’re doubly screwed because they lack the capacity to acknowledge, interpret and alter their behavior accordingly.
Which leads us here: Are women deliberately playing dumb? That would make us the dumb ones, unless we never realize it, in which case we continue the all-male march to the end of time confident in our brainpower. There is an operational advantage for one person to play dumb, but an entire gender? Maybe the game got out of hand long ago, allowing our culture to absorb these perceptions.
Whatever the case, it feels good to be this smart.
2- Men have their own biological clock
We do indeed have a biological clock of sorts, although instead of one that stops, ours becomes increasingly unreliable over time.
As men age they lose approximately 1% of testosterone every year. The consequence of this deficit is that sperm production decreases, and those that are produced are of a lower quality. For this reason, the older we get the greater the chances that the children we spawn suffer from conditions such as autism, schizophrenia and Down syndrome, to name a few.
To explain why, fertility experts point to cell division: About every 16 days the cells that create sperm and determine their genetic code go through the process of dividing. By the age of 50 that division has happened hundreds and hundreds of times, and each time it did the genetic code was vulnerable to changes that can augment genetic deterioration, making birth defects increasingly likely.
3- Daughters change men more than sons do
The effect daughters have on the way their fathers see the world has repeatedly been explored in the past 25 years, all with very similar results. In his 1996 book Family Man, Scott Coltrane sums it up well, saying men with daughters “become more sensitive to discrimination -- cultural images about girls and their body image and sexuality, violence against women and equal opportunity in the workplace."
In Fatherneed, author Kyle Pruett puts it another way, "Daughters make [fathers] think differently about how they're going to make the world a better place.”
Yale economics professor Ebonya Washington’s recent research reached comparable conclusions. Analyzing the family composition of congressmen and their voting records over several years on 20 women’s issues, she found that the more daughters a congressman had, the more likely he was to vote in support of those issues.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, the father of three daughters, says they raise a man’s consciousness. "You have aspirations for them and you want them treated the way you would want sons treated -- with dual opportunities.”
4- Men can tolerate pain better than women
It’s not something the ladies like to hear, but as research has proven again and again it appears to be the case. However, instead of being explained away by a man’s need to appear macho, the real explanation may lie in the hormone estrogen.
For women, levels of this influential hormone vary widely in any given month -- you don’t have to tell us that. But here’s the interesting part: As they reach higher levels during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy, they convince the brain to beef up its response to pain by releasing endorphins, which help to diminish the brain’s reception of those pain signals. When estrogen levels are low, this clever pain-control coordination in the brain becomes substantially less effective.
In other words, pain toleration is a function of hormone levels. This should eliminate the common female response to who better tolerates pain since it addresses the lone ace they hold up their sleeve in this debate: childbirth.
5- Marriage favors men
Calling it “the best evidence that marriage is an institution that primarily benefits men,” University of Washington psychologist Neil Jacobson reported that despite all our bitching and moaning, married life favors men in a big way.
For starters, married men are half as likely to be depressed as married women. And women are not only more likely to enter a marriage with higher expectations from what they perceive as a bigger transition in life -- making for a much bigger sense of disappointment -- they also tend to ditch some aspects of their personality that they -- and their husbands -- liked the most in an effort to fulfill the conventional role of "being a wife." To make matters worse, women are often the first to assume the burden of making an unhappy marriage happy again.
Finally, did you know that men get a better night’s sleep when in bed with a woman? Statistically, it’s true. Unfortunately for the ladies, those same statistics suggest that next to us, they sleep worse.

Stunning? Of course! That is Emmanuelle Chriqui, Dalia of "Don't Mess with the Zohan" her latest movie that's out.

Salbakuta, a rap monster in the music industry before have been gone long already. But their song (Stupid Love) that has been hailed one of the best novelty rap songs, is still being sang occasionally by people, in random moments or in videoke.
Salbakuta is composed of Charlie Mak, Mad Killah and Ben Deatha with session vocalist Nasty Mak, with the guidance of the Filipino god in rap, Andrew E. One of their member just died, Nasty Mak, he died of comatose, because of hypertension. I heard that he has hypertension for 8 years already, so it isn't surprising, if it hits hard and damaging greatly his health.
I'm not into the Philippine rap industry, but I admit, I learned to like Stupid love, and I know most of us Filipinos did, let's just be honest, we all became "jologs" in that timeline of our life. That's what's good about Salbakuta, even though many describe Philippine rap as crap and the such, they still came up with a good career and proved people wrong. Though, they aren't active today, Salbakuta will be remembered as a group who made us all sing and gave a smile at our faces.
Rest in Peace to Nasty Mak, and condolence to all his family and friends.

MORRISTOWN, N.J. - He reprogrammed her favourite video game so a ring and a marriage proposal would pop up when his girlfriend reached a certain score.
And, on Saturday, computer programmer Bernie Peng married Tammy Li in a New Jersey ceremony and reception replete with references to Li's favourite game, "Bejeweled."
PopCap Games, the game's creator, says the couple's wedding cake was in the shape of a video game console. Guests were given free copies of the game as wedding favours.
In the popular game, players score points by swapping gems to form vertical and horizontal chains.
Rumors had spread that there is going to be a Philippine Gossip Girl version in ABS-CBN, but no one was really sure if it was true or just a hoax.
However, while that hot rumor aged and was forgotten, a real TV show resembled the famous Gossip Girl. The show, Lip Gloss of the newly launched TV channel, TV5. It stars teen celebrities, such as Saab Magalona, Maxine Eigenmann, Rodjun Cruz, Mikee Lee, Fred Payawan, Sam Concepcion, Kevin Lapena, Cheska Ortega, Mary Grace Perrido, Czarina Suzarra, Mikki Hahn, and more. I personally watched the show knowing Saab was going to be there, well, I personally have a crush on her, that's why. But it's true that it can really creep you out, with its low-quality camera used, and somehow inexperienced actors and actresses, it makes the show a thumbs down.
If they just lay low on copying the original Gossip Girl, they might have a chance to have a good rating, but because people keep on comparing it to the original, this show looks like crap. Well, simply because the original Gossip Girl kicked some ass, and it was truly entertaining and a high class show, unlike with this production, flaws can be easily seen and the show looked like it was being ran by a couple of amateur student directors and producers. Sorry to say, but this show really sucked in terms of quality. This may be the cause of such outrage and complaints of people who happen to dislike the thought of copying Gossip Girl. If we can just convey or show to the people we can produce a show as high-end as Gossip Girl, people might just watch it. (but of course criticisms are inevitable, however, it may decrease)
Just look at this video of the show. I think it's a teaser or a starter for the show, either of the two, you'll see how much it resembles Gossip Girl.
Wait until you watch an episode of it, truly a Gossip Girl copycat. Though, they changed some of its storyline, they still got a chunk from Gossip Girl.
By reading this post by Bryanboy about this controversial TV show, I just need to talk about it too. Yes I am guilty of watching it, but nevertheless, I see its flaws, but what can I do, our showbiz business isn't as rich as the international ones. So give them a break, yes they may be a copycat, but it's the only way to attract people's attention and get viewers to watch it. Money talks here. If you don't like it, then change the channel.
The issue about us Filipinos being copycats, yes it's true, but do you really know what makes us one? Its because many Filipinos patronize international outputs too much. If we didn't like Gossip Girl that much, will these said producers, come up with this idea? Maybe not right?
By the way, you can catch it at TV5 (ABC 5 before) on Saturdays at 5pm. Or watch it on YouTube, just search for it there.
Stumbled upon this post on "the Frisky" about a question pertaining to women, what will you do if you had a penis for a day?
Answers were pretty surprising, well of course because I'm a guy. Maybe women really talk about this in some way, but this is the first time I encountered and knew what women really think about it. I know, we men too, think about, what if we had their genitalia for a day or so, but women, fondling about having ours, funny.
This part, going down is completely copied from, the Frisky's article. See this image where the first reply was really funny. lol!
To any guys reading this post—this is indeed a conversation most women have in their lifetime with their friends. We are fascinated by that thing dangling between your legs. What it feels like there, how pants fit comfortably, what it’s like when you’re standing at a urinal and are tempted to glance at the dude next to you. And yes, what it feels like to have sex with one of us. So with that in mind, I polled some of the ladies I know to find out what exactly they would do if they had a manhood for a moment, a schlong for a spell, a willie for a week, a d--k for a day—above is the convo that Sexpert Lindsay and I had over IM, and the rest are after the jump. But one thing I’m wondering of you—do guys ever theorize about what they would do if they had a vagina?
“I’d check out this whole urinal thing. The etiquette of urinal peeing fascinates me. Can I look down at the dude next to me to compare? Do I have to stare straight ahead? How does that WORK, exactly? If I was a dude, I think every single time I’d walk into the bathroom and some guy was peeing in a urinal, I’d feel like I walked in on them! ‘Oops! Sorry, didn’t know someone was in here.’ Awkward.” -- Jocelyn
“I would sit on the subway with my legs spread open taking up the entire seat. I hate when men do that.” -- Kelly
“I would have tons of sex. I think sex is probably way better for dudes.” -- Layla
“I wouldn’t want an actual d--k. But I would want to be a guy because then I could be powerful without seeming like I’m a bitch. Like, I could BE a d--k.” -- Catherine
“I would want to have sex with a woman, but in the way that girls just can’t—like different positions, doggy-style and stuff. Honestly, I don’t think I could have an orgasm in many of the positions that men can.” -- Louisa
“I would pee standing up, in public, just because I could.” -- Anna
“You know how in the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee sex tape, Tommy put his penis between his legs like a woman? I would do that, just to freak people out.” -- Cassie
“I would have sex with every woman I possibly could, to see how it felt physically and to see how it felt emotionally to be a total man-whore.” -- Jenn
“Masturbate. A lot. In the shower though, because even as a guy, sperm would gross me out.” -- Brie
“Seriously, I don’t think I would be able to stop touching it. I would just fondle myself all day.” -- Erin
“Do I get balls too? I think that’s really the part that would be the most fun and fascinating. And part of me would want to be kicked in the balls, just to see why guys act like such wimps about it. Oh and I would definitely tea bag someone and take a picture.” -- Julia
“First I would pee in as many spots as possible outside. Then I would write my name with it.” -- Meaghan
“I would pee on people’s heads from a roof and then write my name in the snow.”—Lauren
“I think I would draw a happy face on the tip and make the pee hole talk. My wiener would say, ‘Hi Amelia, how are you today?’ I would be pretty busy that day, actually.” -- Colleen
