BMWs, Porsches, brand new and second hand cars submerged in thick mud, and upon rescue, stacked up on top of another like a boy playing his soiled and worn-out matchbox cars.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >Somewhere in between fear and anxiety is the overwhelming reality that when nature strikes, there is no escaping. Ondoy literally swallowed up dream cars and dream homes. Its harrowing aftermath can be summed up as fruits of decades of hard work all gone in a matter of hours (nay, seemed seconds for those stranded on their rooftops or inside their cars).</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >While there can be no escape from nature’s anger, there can be freedom from the fear and anxiety that goes with the idea of “not being in control”. Car insurance, for instance, affords you peace of mind amid such unfortunate situations as when your car gets wrecked in an accident, if it got stolen, or an accident involving your car that left a property damaged or a person injured. All of these, without car insurance, can be financially crippling.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >Having insurance is probably the smartest decision one can make at least to cushion the blow if and when the unexpected unfolds.

There are perils (or causes of possible loss or damage) that are not automatically covered under the standard car insurance policy. Many learned this the hard way. A lot of Ondoy-related claims were denied because the insurance policy did not have coverage for acts of God or acts by forces of nature such as earthquake, typhoon, flood, volcanic eruptions and the like.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >At the height of the Ondoy buzz, when every car owner seemed to want an AOG coverage in his insurance policy at all costs, one insurance brand, Direct Link Car Insurance, made an adroit response by offering it free of charge for a limited period of one week.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >It has been almost a year since the devastating flood of typhoon Ondoy.

According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossip_(band)">Wikipedia</a>, the band is a three-piece American indie rock band that started out in 1999. Aside from indie rock, their music can also be placed in the post-punk, garage rock, and dance-punk sub genres.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The lead vocalist, Beth Ditto’s voice is pitchy and high, which for me works just well to balance the hard-pounding drum beats and strong guitar plucks. Hence the “gospel voice with a funky punk tune”</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I’ve actually discovered the band just last year when I saw their video for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WtXJXlqqOE">Love Long Distance</a> on the now defunct MTV Philippines.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><img src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:8VyZ8rkrWJuIHM:http://img.mp3shopcart.com/images/movie/The_Gossip_-_Listen_Up_video.jpg&t=1" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 160px; height: 160px;" border="0" alt="" /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:small;">Since then, I made a mental note in my mind to try their other songs too, so I got a copy of Music for Men. I love the whole album because no song really wears me out, but the ones that stood out aside from Love Long Distance is </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:small;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLLxdcrk0-s">Heavy Cross</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:small;">, where her gospel-like voice is best distinguished but vanishes in the chorus part where she screams her lines. The drum and guitar parts in this song are what I love the most because they bring so much emotion, at least for me. Aside from Heavy Cross, I love </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:small;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SotuMnrIss">2012</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:small;"> because of its upbeat, danceable, head-banging tune.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:small;">Other places I’ve encountered Gossip’s music:</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Radio 1’s Live Lounge Volume 2 – Standing in the Way of Control</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Radio 1’s Live Lounge Volume 4 – Heavy Cross</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Skins – Standing in the Way of Control</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The Vampire Diaries – Heavy Cross</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:small;">You can buy their album Music For Men <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Music-Men-Gossip/dp/B0027VSTCG">here</a></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;color:#333333;"><br /></span></p></div>three before dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11722345240119185732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323230344086895986.post-33713353194237093822010-08-07T16:43:00.017+08:002010-08-10T15:43:46.913+08:00What to do in Cagayan with less than a thousand<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgasmwGuRF2AH-osDi41vY7kotFstnXjcyX-Qq14QCKyBXji4xuUF_TaxzsQDYC9WfqYlnrkJIE49D6Fft9AZTXOFJ9ZEiWWbtOlmsdqJGoLedaLCvylMDxm_e_UbmJTkNn7bJA1fbSTA_w/s1600/IMG_4268.JPG"></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKvJSRP4jco_R-qE-d_f5SLrEZyJDnvs459Xnbj3kWV1LpiQJ2FT2Zf5Ufm6CqTtHqO6TiVQ2Yl5Y0B6WFXevPgE1ghaQ_VWGyeMbbvc2ztqYjcYFz9GnsX87I8kYcBwoQfS7HWMqnQa8I/s1600/IMG_4241.JPG"></a><div style="text-align: center;"><p class="separator" style="margin-top: 0px;

They offer buy 1 take 1 on mojitos from 4pm-6pm, Sundays to Thursdays. We got there at around 5:46pm so we were right on time. The chicken quesadilla tasted like a quesadilla –well it better be- nothing special except for its spice. The guacamole and salsa dip were good. The rest of the food on their menu sounded and looked delicious on the picture but were pretty expensive. Prices range from Php150 – Php700.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; "><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span style="line-height: 16px;

I had to dip it in my bitter Almond Roca coffee to soften it a bit. The cappuccino was okay and that was sadly the only good thing. Their prices are cheap though, so I’m not sure if that was just what we got for the value we paid for. Plus we only had 3 out of their long line of coffee and pastry selections so I’m not really in the position to give an overall judgment. Maybe if we ordered a slice or two of their cakes and a frappuccino, the coffee experience would have been different.</div></span><p></p></div><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;

Browsing through each page makes me feel in-the-know of the newly implemented rules in dressing up. It guides me on what I should and shouldn’t wear – quite ironic when I seem double the size of the models that I look at. Fashion is always current. Basically I’m taught about what’s in and out in the industry. But scrutiny aside, it doesn’t express the real me.

And it’s almost the end of August. As far as I know, I should’ve taken it last month. But as far as my routine is concerned, </span></div><div align="justify">my schedule for a second shot is not noted on my desk planner. And that’s if I even write anything on my desk planner. My bad. Whatever.<br /><br />I joined the anti-HPV bandwagon primarily because my grandmother died of breast cancer and my mom just had her own finding of cervical cancer. I’m not scared of my genetics to be honest. I just worry about not being able to save up a lot of money to get myself hospitalized in case I get diagnosed. Helpless, right?<br /></div><div align="justify"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWQ_7M2GeiwBTOULhRKkRqyH6-lXfXUYi43-61k92ip-VMgzyFHSbeNn1twZ0TematHVF5TVgFkMTbjpZ_H7OFuGUFHAR_csrASalyWitcAHepYZ6-GtONxZatOkxmDfGW6u40WHN_1mEJ/s1600-h/2834986337_b2c834842e_o.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373811906169016946" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 296px; height: 229px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWQ_7M2GeiwBTOULhRKkRqyH6-lXfXUYi43-61k92ip-VMgzyFHSbeNn1twZ0TematHVF5TVgFkMTbjpZ_H7OFuGUFHAR_csrASalyWitcAHepYZ6-GtONxZatOkxmDfGW6u40WHN_1mEJ/s320/2834986337_b2c834842e_o.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">So I took advantage of our company’s medical benefits. Each shot costs around Php 3,000 or more in the market while it’s only Php 2,000 here (yes, I’m blogging during office hours). And since I opted to use my medical expense reimbursement privilege for that matter, I got two shots for FREE and will only be paying a grand for the third which is scheduled 5 months from today. It definitely sounds way cheaper than undergoing those strictly-for-the-rich-only treatments like chemotherapy and radiation.<br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This was the shot given to me.

Client likes it, err loves it…but not until a few days, when the tagline suddenly stirred something else other than text messaging.<br /><br />And so that episode from ‘Trust Me’, a television series on advertising, popped into my head after seeing on the internet a cover of the The New Yorker magazine. Known for its illustration covers, the magazine showcased yet another stunning work from illustrator Jorge Colombo for its June 1 issue. With his IPhone as a canvass, and his hand as the paintbrush, Colombo drew the scene before him while standing outside Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum in Times Square. He used Brushes, an IPhone application that allows user to experience natural media painting. It also records the user’s actions when painting which can be viewed via Brushes Viewer.<br /><br />Amazing isn’t it? At first glance, many will think that Colombo’s work is just another painting, but there’s such awe after learning it was finger painted using a mobile phone. It’s on the cover of The New Yorker, and that alone is a statement. Although for Colombo it’s not big of a deal that his work is a virtual finger painting, still it is a refreshing thought to know that a publication about 80 years old embraces the possibilities of technology on its cover and pages.<br /><br />What can you do with one hand and an IPhone? The list is endless: from the simplest of calling and texting, to the more complex like poker, spy cams and yes, painting.<br /><br />Personally, I wasn’t all gaga about IPhone when it first came out. While everyone else was calling their relatives in the US to get one for them, I was just in a corner apathetic about the whole IPhone craze. Not until recently. The need for a new IPod, and okay admit it, for a new phone, makes me now crave for an IPhone. I’m actually saving up to buy one. And maybe aside from ITunes and a bunch of Fall Out Boy songs, I’ll get that Brushes application.<br /><br />NFS<div><br /></div><div><br /></div>three before dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11722345240119185732noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323230344086895986.post-64281169581637063522009-08-21T23:52:00.004+08:002010-08-10T15:46:36.892+08:00Penniless Loafers.<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"><div align="justify">
