I don't eat fish except for tuna. And I'm not talking about sushi-type of tuna, more of the Century variety. Some people call tuna as the "chicken of the sea" even if they don't really fly.

As I've said, I don't eat fish but they sure love eating me.

Me and Yuan went to experience the Fish Spa at the Manila Ocean Park recently. "Treatment" is done by immersing the feet in a pool and the little flesh eating fishes (Garra rufa) feed on the loose and dead skin. As you can see from the picture above, the fishes attacked my feet. It was very ticklish but not painful. My feet were noticeably smooth after the 20 minute feeding session.

Contrary to popular belief, the fish spa is not a new idea. The Kangal Spa in Turkey has been in operation since the early 1900's. There are even some historical evidences that show they've been around for ages.

Hands down, one of the cleverest, cheekiest and most charming adverts on TV today.

lots of love

True story. A friend thought, lol meant lots of love. When her friend sent her a message last week saying:

Hi Nikki. Just to let you know, my father passed away today.

She replied:

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. We will be thinking of you at this difficult time. Lol
xxx Nikki and family.

Lol in a major, major way.

slow down, stop or go?

This is not a Christmas Tree.

Believe it or not, it's actually a set of traffic lights in Canary Wharf.

Located on a roundabout just off Heron's Quay and south of Westferry Circus, I wonder how many traffic violations occur at this spot.

If you find yourself in the area, I dare you to beat the red lights.

dear mr. president

I didn't vote last election so I shouldn't really complain but I just have to say this. Nonoy, it seems to me you are more interested in running after skirts than running the country. Please get your act together, there are more important matters you have to attend to. Napaglipasan ka na ng panahon. In short matandang binata ka na. 6 years from now, "matandang binata ka pa rin". So why don't you just wait till then. In the meantime, do not disappoint the majority of Pinoys I know who voted for you. Fix the Economy, Alleaviate Poverty, Curb Corruption, Develop Infrastructure, Provide decent Healthcare and Strengthen the Education System. Not necessarily in that order but you know what I mean.

I thank you.

happy halloween

Donnie: Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?
Frank: Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

Who says you need a costume this Halloween?

Donnie Darko is a trip.

tate part deux

The Kiss by Rodin is probably the most important sculpture at Tate Modern. But don't take my word for it because I thought this was a joke.

Obviously, the pundits think this is Art.

Below is meant to be half of a face.

Sheesh, the subject must be really ugly.

I could have done this.

This is that in the foreground.

I want.

Wall Explosion II by Roy Lichtenstein. Click his name to visit his awesome website.

Ave Maria.

Also known as Hail Mary. Get it?!?

For some reason, I see a big chunk of nougat.

Whilst this one, looks like jacket potatoes on a slab of wood.

Hannibal Lecter's platter?

Funny and disgusting, no?

terror ride

You're not even that high. Neither you are fast nor big. But to say that you are probably the most terrifying ride I've ever been on would be an understatement. Considering I went on Saw, Colossus, Stealth, Detonator and Nemesis Inferno without much ado.

Slammer, it was good to meet you but never again. You left me with a big, fat and stinking headache that I wasn't able to go on the Tidal Wave. Which was a shame because of all the days to get wet this summer, yesterday was it.

So Thorpe Park, I will definitely come back.

goodbye

Angelica: Relationship with Derek stronger than ever.

I guess this is the end. waaaah-ahahaha!

piss pot

The video below is gross. But it's really funny so y'all have to watch it.

I remember this joke I first heard when I was still in uni. I'm a proud Thomasian and is on neither side. Just saying.

It was the UAAP Basketball finals between La Salle and Ateneo. During halftime, two men from the said universities met in the gents. Both took their spots at the opposite sides of the piss pot and relieved themselves quietly. The La Sallian finished first and as soon as he zipped up, he walked to the sink to wash his hands. As he was doing this, the Atenean buttoned his fly and made his way out of the toilet. Before the latter reached the door, he heard the La Sallian say, almost mockingly, "We, at La Salle, are taught to wash our hands after we use the toilet." The Atenean, obviously not amused, looked at him blankly and said, "Well that's good. But we, Ateneans, have the common sense not to pee on our hands."

weekend mayhem

I have at least half a dozen bruises all over my body, a couple of bumps on my head and my legs hurt like hell.

Last Saturday, I went paintballing with 6 of my friends. It was a lad's day out - a group of "young" blokes from work go out every now and again to get a break from our sad little jobs. This was the first time we had done something physical, apart from chugging down pints of lager, and the experience was nothing short of brilliant. We spent the whole day running, ducking, shooting, getting shot and having a good laugh.

My mother, bless her, nearly fell off a chair when I told her that I was hit by a gun last weekend. Paintball gun that is. But even then, she still couldn't understand what it was and was proper telling me off. Good thing my sisters were with her and had to explain to her that it was just some "harmless" fun young people do.

Here's a photo of the nastiest battle scar. It hurts but I would definitely do it again. How was your weekend?

dementia?

We had an 82 year old woman stay at the hotel last weekend. She, actually, has been staying with us every Friday to Monday for the last month because the hotel, apparently, has good facilities and provides solid service.

On check out today, she said to me, "I am old. In fact, I feel ancient. I am blind and deaf! Why don't I just die?"

killer voice

If there is reincarnation, I want to come back with Jack Bauer's voice. There's something about the tone that's menacing and sexy at the same time. It's silky smooth and yet grimly brutal. It's the sort of voice that can make your enemies drop dead in fear and the ladies drop their knickers. LOL. I'll be the ultimate action hero. Do you think drinking copious amount of whiskey and smoking large cigars will do the trick? I doubt the missus will approve.

Watch the hilarious video below as Jack Bauer terrorises Father Christmas.

The new season of 24 is on at Sky1 every Sunday at 9PM.

booba

When the heavens showered the land with breasts, you obviously received a lump sum. And we are happy. But when the heavens showered the land with brains, your jugs must've weighed you down and caused you to trip. Which then made you unable to run quickly. Hence, you only got the dregs at the bottom of the barrel.

That was painful. I must be a masochist for watching the video in its entirety. Or perhaps it was her breasts that drew me in.

Ara Mina, bless your heart. Ever heard the saying, better seen than heard? Of course not! Why did I even ask? What I'm trying to say is, you maybe easy on the eyes but please just shut up because you have no idea how much headache you caused me.

And QC peeps, if y'all are trying to humour us by voting for her come May. Let me paint a picture for you. 9 years from now, she'll be running for senate. And should that happen, I will personally hold y'all responsible for all the sexy movies she could've done but didn't.

the future is here

It's the last day of the first month of 2010. We are in the future. Except that it is actually known as the present. Can y'all believe it's been more than 10 years, a decade(!), since Y2K? It really was much ado about nothing!

If we were to believe some of the sci-fi movies from our not so distant past, our date with aliens are in the offing. We have, after all, sent them a message. The Beatles' "Across the Universe," for that matter. Who could argue with such a well-meaning, positive initiative?

Before y'all become overwhelmed by panic, fear not because I don't think they're that bad. As long as we remember not to do this, I think we all are going to be allright.

bunny suicides

The Book of Bunny Suicides: Little Fluffy Rabbits Who Just Don't Want To Live Any More is a bestselling collection of mostly one-image black comedy cartoons drawn by author Andy Riley. A friend gave it to me as Christmas/birthday present.

Some people may feel sorry for me because I only get one present for two special occassions. To be honest, I don't mind. I just think that at least I would always get something for christmas and my birthday no matter what, even if it's just a stupid little book about some depressed rabbits.

Here's one of my faves. I'll posting more by and by. Oh, just a disclaimer, I won't be held responsible for giving y'all ideas.
