ZSA ZSA PADILLA GOT A TATTOO AS TRIBUTE FOR DOLPHY

The Quizon clan had themselves inked as tribute to the great comedy king, Dolphy who passed away on July 10, 2012. Such big love coming from his beloved family!  Dolphy never left their hearts and now, their skins. Tattoos were all done exclusively by my own tattoo artist, Jaime Tud of Wildside Tattoo during Dolphy's wake at Heritage Memorial...

Wildside Tattoo's head artist Jaime Tud, did a great job on all of them especially the portraits of Dolphy on Vandolph and Epi Quizon. More photos of the clan's tribute love for their father are found here.  

About a day ago, someone dear to Dolphy's heart just got inked too! Lady love Zsa Zsa Padilla got a tattoo as tribute to her beloved as per her tweet...

It's gonna be on Sunday, August 5, that Zsa Zsa will reveal her own tribute tattoo at ABS-CBN's show ASAP. Everyone is now curious about it. I admire Dolphy's family and I admire Zsa Zsa Padilla... She got him under her skin while he was alive... now, even when he has gone up to heavens, she got him permanently on her skin.

THE BEST MAN

I am not talking about the person beside the groom in a wedding scenario. I am talking about who is the best man in an adult woman's life. 

Often times, women (especially when we hit our 30's), we ponder and dream as to who will be, what type of a man he will be, how will we meet the man, where and will we ever meet the man of our dreams. We often set a certain  "standard / qualifications" among ourselves about men. These "standards / qualifications" really apply that when we meet men, we tend to be cautious. Despite of modern times and despite of desperation for some women, we still go on lengthy scales of trial and error period... you know... the speculating, the "test drive", observing behaviors till they make us laugh, make us giddy... enough to make our heart beats fast somehow.

But who is really the best man for us? There is a best man for each of us... whether we end up with them or not. It is always a special man that becomes the best man in our lives... that man we can't seem to live without especially when he is far away or when he's gone. To begin with, he is that man that came into your life when you least expect it!  He's even not your type. He is not even in your "standard / qualifications" for a dream boat. In the beginning, you don't even have a damn clue why you are attracted to him but love is like that... Love has no reason and that reason is still unknown till you get to experience the things I will talk about more...

The best man is that "just a friend" type but you are at your happiest with him even when he is grumpy, when he's not in the mood and when he is at his worst. He is that man who you want to cheer up, amuse and entertain all the time. He is that man whom you want to dream and do all sorts of things with... like watching movies, going to the beach or just about anywhere, eating food you both like, drinking anything, watching tv shows, listening to music, have a conversation about anything under the sky from dusk till dawn, etc. He makes you laugh for no reason. You like watching him play his instruments and sing with him (not referring to his instrument) but yeah... in your mind too, he is that man you want to have sex with all the time (admit it... there is that man).  

He is that best man you just want be in beautiful, dreamy places with. He is that type of man where you see the world and life itself in his eyes just by gazing at anything. He is that man you rarely or don't have fights and arguments with. He is that man who bears with you... women dramas, problems and all... because he understands you. He is that man who becomes the soul mate. He is that man who eventually be the last one in your mind before you sleep and the first one when you wake up. He is that man who can make you cry for no reason and also the same one who can make you stop crying. He is that man who makes you realize that one word that doesn't exist... "forever"... truly exists. He is that man who can make you feel your worst but also he is the one who could make the best of you come out. 

He is that best man who will always be in your heart... someone you never knew you could love before yourself... before your pride, frustrations and anger. He would even be that man you would be jealous of and be possessive of... but it's okay... possessiveness is just a scale of love. There is no true love without possessiveness. Lastly, in time, he is that best man whom you will learn to love unconditionally... for the rest of your life.

Love comes again and again for those who know what life is. But true love and true living comes only once for those who know what unconditional love is. There is no such thing as an ideal or perfect man because he just exists in our mind. However, there is that best man.

To my best man... you taught me how to love, how to cry, but when you have put this great distance between us, you forgot to teach me how to forget you.


When I talked to God and asked him why I can't forget you, He told me He is busy writing the best love story for me with you. Someday then...

A DOG IS NOT A HOG!

I primarily stumbled upon this photo on Facebook of a freelance make up artist from Baguio City who were able to take some more images.

Placed in a sack for hogs... with a plastic rope on his mouth. Even if is is presumed, a rabid dog, it still deserves a better treatment and way of transport. 

Dezzy Belle wrote: "This is so cruel. We're on our way to SM Baguio then we saw this car with the poor dog on the back of it, with a chain on his mouth, poor dog. Then I took pictures of it then we went to the nearest Police Station and reported it. Luckily, they caught the owner and let the dog be free."

These men needs to be identified. They were the ones seen with the dog!

Good thing Dezzy did a remarkable thing and the poor dog is now in good hands however, I am posting this blog to make another awareness that any animal must not be subjected to cruelty and anyone who does it is not gonna get away with it scott free. The owner of this Nissan Safari with Plate No. BDK 617 is a SWINE!

The cruelty shocked a pedestrian.

A dog is not a hog... even hogs were placed in better transport before they get butchered to provide food to humans. This reminds me of the inherent animal cruelty in the US... and they refer dogs subjected to cruelty as hog dogs... which angers me. Cruelty to dogs must be stopped and that goes for all the other animals as well!

The sad plight of an innocent dog.

PHIL YOUNGHUSBAND... THE MANIA LIVES ON!

Yes... woot! woot!... the mania lives on for my friend, Phil Younghusband thus; me releasing these latest photos of him.  

Phil! I'm waiting for when you're gonna find time to take your heli ride! :P

I don't think I should talk more about Phil... everyone can simply "Google" him and his impact in the country and so for the first time, I release a post that is like my mini skirts and dǝʞdǝʞ shorts... long enough to cover private parts but short enough to keep things interesting solely because of these two snap shots of Phil Younghusband here taken at the Kenny Rogers Roasters Hainanese Chicken blogger's conference. Yes, a new TVC will feature Phil and James Younghusband of the Philippine Football Team Azkals together with surfer Lorraine Lapus and professional triathlete Mica Tantuico. 

See you around, Phil! :P

My super-talented relative, Vincent V. Garrucho who evolved from being an FM radio jock to a lot of things in life and who developed this penchant for photography in late November 2009 took these photos of Phil Younghusband.  


Props to you, Vinky and thanks for getting me these photos of Phil!  

HOW TO AFFORD TO LEARN TO FLY A HELICOPTER?

Learn to fly with Airgurus Ltd. Co. You have known since childhood that being a helicopter pilot was the only thing you ever wanted to do! Dreaming perhaps of landing on a deserted highway or remote area to assist in medical evacuations, transport, search and rescue and many more? Okay... there are a few things one needs to know before throwing money into flight training.

Helicopter flying costs are about four times those of flying airplanes, especially when learning. However, the prospective student needs to consider other factors too. Helicopter training is expensive, but not as Much as it Appears.

Many people who want to learn to fly helicopters are put off by the cost. Rotary flying is certainly expensive. But there are ways of saving money when undertaking helicopter training. One can get more for one's money with helicopters.With planes, a lot of time is wasted taxiing and waiting on the ground for other aircraft. But this is not so with helicopters. As soon as a rotary aircraft lifts into the hover it is flying – and the student is learning something. So, no training time is wasted during helicopter training.

It is also possible to conduct helicopter training during weather conditions which would have airplanes grounded, since in poor visibility or low cloud, helicopter students can practise hovering or other low level maneuvers.

There are a few things to think over before beginning a journey towards flying a helicopter:


1. There are no shortcuts.
2. It's not at all glamorous.
3. This industry has very small circles... one mistake, if not fatal...it's over.


Sounds a bit complicated? On the flip side, this is one of the most exciting career anyone can make of their passion.

Airgurus Ltd. Co. provides numerous opportunities to fulfill your dreams and aspirations in a relatively short amount of time, while earning a respectable salary. That is, if you pass with flying colors! After all, our helicopter flight training is only the beginning of creating a safe, professional pilot.

A PRAYER FOR ELLAH JOY PIQUE's JUSTICE

Dear Lord,

I pray that you would take the soul of little Ellah Joy Pique into your arms... comfort her and welcome her into your eternal kingdom. 

 
I pray that you give comfort and strength to her family and friends, and help them bear this tragic loss of an innocent beloved little angel. I pray for Ella Joy Pique's justice... that it be achieved soonest. I pray for her murderers be punished by what the government and the Filipino nation believes is apt.  

  
I pray for all the children that have been murdered and I pray for their families as well. I pray for all the parents of the young children that they may be given the wisdom to take appropriate steps to protect their children from those that might do them harm.


Lord, help me let go of the hatred I feel right now. Please give me the strength to not hate the Caucasian man and the Filipina woman who committed this terrible crime knowing that... difficult as it may be to understand, you still love him and that Jesus has commanded me to love them too. Lord, this is the hardest commandment that we have but we know that we can only even attempt it with your help. I pray that this man and woman and all those who have committed such crimes should come to repentance and receive your forgiveness. I pray that those who may be tempted to commit such crimes should realize how wrong their urges are and should seek help from others and most importantly, from you.


I pray, in Jesus name.
Amen.

BOB SINCLAR LIVE IN MANILA: THE AFTERMATH

It was a huge success! Bob Sinclar didn't just prove that he's one of the top most recognized names in dance music anywhere in the world, he also proved to people in the Philippines that indeed, he is one amazing, prolific artist and a dj! He shook the World Trade Center of the Philippines with his love for music!

Bob Sinclar... oftenly mistaken as "Sinclair" is actually Christophe Le Friant born May 10, 1969 in Douarnenez, France. He is a Grammy Award-nominated French record producer, House Music Dj, remixer and owner of the label, Yellow Productions.

In 2005 he scored a hit with the single "Love Generation", that reached #1 on the Australian ARIA Singles Charts and the German Media Control Single Charts in 2006. The song was a huge success throughout Europe, also peaking at no. 2 in the Dutch Top 40 and it stood 39 weeks in the Ultratop 50 in Belgium. It became one of the official anthems for the World Cup 2006 held in Germany. 

The follow-up hit was "World, Hold On", that features Steve Edwards and also managed to chart in the top ten in most of the European countries. "Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now)" followed on 22 August 2006. The remix of "World, Hold on" by E-Smoove was nominated for a Grammy in 2007 in the category of Remixed Recording. Also, "World, Hold On" topped in Billboard Magazine as Number One Hot Dance Club Play Single of 2006, beating Madonna and Christina Aguilera. Since then, he became a global household name in the dance music industry!



Bob Sinclar was brought to Manila last January 15, 2011 by the Ambassador of Cheers and Good Vibes in Manila... dance party producer Domini Primero of  Driven Manila and Avant Artists. The prolific dj performed at the World Trade Center in Manila in front of thousands of beautiful thumping party animals and boy, it was just way too great to describe!

 
When Bob Sinclar played, he became my guilty pleasure. I am not overweight and I don't hate exercising but this was one big party that really kept my feet jumping around from the start till the end of his set except for moments that I had to catch my breath! I also had the privilege of being there onstage with him together with my photography partner, Vincent Garrucho thus; these images you see here are from our lenses. 

The whole time I was beside him or behind him on stage, there were times that I carefully sized-up Bob Sinclar as I peer through the lens of my Canon EOS 450D. He is indeed very unpredictable and most prolific! I look at the crowd below us... jumping non-stop, ladies screaming non-stop, men kept their hands on air non-stop as they move to every single rhythmic track Bob Sinclar unleashed! I have never before seen in Manila a huge dancing crowd moving in consistency!

I'd like to talk now about how Bob Sinclar is in person. Meeting Bob Sinclar and having the great  privilege to talk to him as he relaxes while awaiting for his set is just awesome experience.  I sat beside him... tried to be cool (even though i felt like wanting to ask him a thousand questions) but I refrained. He's a smiling person but a man of very few words... very mysterious to me. 

 
When he listens to people talking, his eyes have this seemingly relaxed but piercing look. I think it's the artist in him. Then he suddenly asked, "How's the crowd outside?" and I replied nervously, "Bob, the world trade center is really jam-packed... they are waiting for you." then he nodded, smiled and said "That is good". He then noticed my production ID and asked, "Can I have one of that for souvenir later?" and I said, "Yes of course, Bob... will give it to you later". With a nod and  his simple smile at me, it meant "thank you". He then went back to his quiet moments.


Then, it was time for him to go up on the stage...and he transformed! From a simple, sweet-smiling, quiet, mysterious man he was back stage, he became a major flirt...like a playboy...like a high class gigolo... like a hardcore porn star! He was onstage, a world-class rock star and boy!... did he rock World Trade Center! 

I was there... I've witnessed how this man transformed himself from a man battling fatigue and jet lag to his greatness... a very energetic and playful person! On the wheels of steel, he got himself at the peak of his power! 

Listening, dancing, singing, taking his up close and personal photos, I keep on telling myself.... Bob Sinclar is legendary!

This is all for you, Bob! It was a great pleasure meeting you and thank you for giving us Filipinos an awesome party here in Manila, Philippines!
