Mouse That Makes Life Uneasy and Complicated

If you think life is complicated, I guess you are right. Open Office recently introduced a mouse that has 18 buttons which are all programmable. So, one requirement for this is you need to have a good memory to recall which button does this and that.

I still believe in the saying that "less is more" and "simplicity is beauty". I would never spend time getting used to this mouse because a simple right click, left click and scroll will do for me.

It probably does other stuff faster but the time you have to exert in looking which button on the mouse you click is no short cut. It stresses me (laughs).

Fergie is Cosmo Magazine's December 2009 Cover

The sizzling 'clumsy' yet 'glamorous' (as according to her songs) Stacy Ferguson or more popularly known as Fergie by the Black Eyed Peas graces the cover of the December 2009 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine and she's painting the town red with her drop dead gorgeous red dress and her elegant ring by Sara Weinstock.

Cosmo tackles in the interview Fergie's upcoming long-awaited movie Nine which will also premiere this December. She also talks about her Transformers star husband Josh Duhamel.

While filming the movie, she was asked by the producer to gain some extra weight to fit her role which for her and her husband is no big deal. In fact, hubby even enjoys having that extra meat or that tight stomach, whichever is there as he [Josh] has never been critical about it.

I am Pinoy and I Love to Party

Last night, I received a phone call from my good old high school friend inviting me for a house warming party for her new crib this coming week. Did I hear PARTY? Goodness, I love attending to parties and social events. I guess that's how I really am - a social worm! (laughs)

We Filipinos are so fond of celebration (known to us as handaan). From the usual birthday parties up to the ever famous town fiestas unique to every province, Pinoy handaan has become a part of our tradition making us unique to all other races.

Throwing a party makes sure that every wonderful moment in our lives becomes memorable. Regardless whether it's a luxurious or a humble celebration what matters is we are having a wonderful time with our loved ones. Enjoy your day everyone!

Manny Pacquiao - Time Magazine's Epitome of Hope

The Philippines' most successful boxer is on the cover of Time Magazine Asia with a five page feature story of him as a boxing champ. The magazine digs deeper into the Manny Pacquiao history by exposing starting from his humble beginnings up to his recent accomplishments as a boxer and a celebrity including the significant persons in his life like Coach Freddie Roach, his mother Dionisia Pacquiao, Chavit Singson and many others.

This is it! Manny Pacquiao is getting the perfume of fame all over the world. He even appeared on one of America's famous late night show Jimmy Kimmel Live on November 4th and graced a song number. Rumor has it that Pacman will be releasing a US produced album. OMG, I can't believe that. I am so happy for Manny.

For your information, Pacman is the 1st Asian athlete and the 2nd Filipino to be featured in the cover of this prestigious magazine next to the late Philippine President Corazon Aquino.

Watch out for the release of this story as it will also be available in the global edition of the magazine.

Nostalgic Christmas Season

I woke up late today because I needed to finish a lot of pending projects last night. The day kind of felt strange to me because I felt nostalgic and suddenly craved for Christmas. Memories kept on flashing back in mind especially the happy ones during my childhood. I can't explain it but I am experiencing the feeling of homesickness as well (I am at my home, for your information. Strange isn't it?).

Well, just to deviate my thoughts (or I probably scratched the itch, haha), I quickly turned on my PC and downloaded some of my favorite Christmas songs - Jose Mari Chan hits. I transferred some on my music player, put on my headsets and maximized the volume. Now I am more relaxed and composed.
