This is the video of what started it all. I wasn’t able to watch it this afternoon because I was resting. Thank goodness for people who dedicate time to record and share this with everyone.

And moments later, here’s a video of Annabelle Rama who called in at Showbiz Central commenting about the “The Buzz Incident” plus more.

Of course I’m just another viewer with an opinion. I am not a fan of Kris Aquino. I actually kind of agree with Lourd de Veyra of Radioactive Sago Project, who compared Kris Aquino to “a car accident on SLEX—it’s horrible but you can’t look away.” From what I see on TV, she’s annoying but interesting to watch. But in this case, I think she meant her comment to be a joke. It’s more like how friends tease each other. Laglagan kumbaga. And we like it when celebrities do it on air – just like in Showtime. But then again, we don’t know if Kris and Ruffa are in joking terms or if they usually exchange that kind of jokes. And maybe Ruffa loves The Buzz so much that jokes with reference to her impending departure from the show, even thrown affectionately, still hurt. Parang kaibigan na nakipag-break with someone he/she seriously loves – pag biniro mo the next day, mapipikon talaga.

But the Annabelle Rama video, grabe naman. If Kris was like a car accident, Annabelle was like a 20-storey building getting demolished. She was scary but entertaining. Her comments were out of line and irrelevant. For something that started as a misunderstood joke, I think she said too much. Well, she’s Annabelle Rama anyway.

I like Ruffa Gutierrez. When I see her on TV, I like how she handles a conversation, how she moves, and how she dresses. But I think the situation was blown out of proportion. Kris should say sorry, though. You say sorry to anyone you offend, even if you originally meant something as a joke. What do you think?

One of the wonders I recently discovered abou my BlackBerry is the BB Messenger barcode. You caninvite contacts or join a BB group by scanning a Blackberry-generated barcode using the phone’s camera. Astig! Due to much amazament, I searched Facebook for BBM barcodes and scanned them so at one point I had several pending contact requests to people I didn’t know. Hahaha! I just cancelled them.

Now, if you wish to add me, here’s my barcode. Let’s be friends

I haven’t blogged so much lately. That is because of the usual – I have nothing noteworthy to say. Plus I’ve been on night shift for the past two weeks so I’ve been busy as well. I put my Tweets on the sidebar to at least give this site a little activity. I suggest you all make a Twitter account and let’s follow each other. Hahaha! It’s the easiest way to update each other.

Anyway, I turned 4 years old in DTC last Saturday. I’m staying for another month because I have new team members who need training and I don’t want to mess up the schedule when they aren’t prepared yet. I’m still happy with my team in DTC and despite what we’ve been through, I love my team. But a recent issue I had with a person outside my team brought my morale low. Yes I am very sensitive about it. That is because I value my/our efforts to uplift the team’s name. Anyway, it’s beyond my control. And I can’t dwell on the nega stuff too much.

We need change. I need change. For the best. First step, the photobooth.

This is for those who pass by or wait for a ride at the intersection of Recto and Legarda – be careful. There’s a group of men who attack unsuspecting passengers waiting for a bus or FX and take their bags/belongings.

This is in front of Mini Stop near San Sebastian. It may seem a safe spot to stand and wait because of the store’s bright lights but these men don’t care. If they think you’re not aware, they will grab you from behind and force you to give your bag.

What you should do? Be vigilant. Always look around you for suspicious eyes and actions. If you notice anything weird, act fast and move away – cross the street or take the next ride wherever it is headed and just wait somewhere more crowded. Most importantly, do not lose focus. The moment you lose touch of reality may be their cue to attack. Do not listen to music while waiting cos you can’t hear if someone’s creeping up behind you. Do not look at your phone and do not just look at the incoming vehicles. Remember to watch your back.

If you get attacked, just give what they want. Do not prolong the confrontation cos they may hurt you if they get frustrated. These men want to do it as quickly as possible to avoid being identified. If you do anything that will make them feel threatened, they may hurt you. Whatever you own that they may take is still not worth risking your life.

Report this to the police as much as possible. Tell everyone you know so they’ll be careful as well. The best way to stop them is by letting them feel you are aware of what they may do next. These criminals don’t care of witnesses nowadays – they attack whenever and wherever. So always stay focused and cautious and you are one step ahead of them.

Mariah released two new videos today. And they’re no H.A.T.E.U.! These videos were greatly produced, shot and edited. The concept didn’t require unnecessary flaunting of skin and they’re very interesting to watch. In short, they’re beautiful! They’re the Mariah videos I really liked since Touch My Body.

Here’s Angels Cry featuring Ne-Yo.

And here’s the funny Up Out My Face featuring Nicki Minaj

Both songs are included in new remix album Angels Advocate.

Since I’ve recently been soooo active with Twitter, I discovered how very easy it is to be updated with the latest about people. Even grocery shopping gets talked about like hot gossip as if you have people actually doing the rounds with you. It’s much better than Facebook statuses. SPMF, please make one or make your accounts active. Tell me your account names.

I was with Liz and Lhen this afternoon. After running errands we settled at a coffee shop in Mall of Asia in full view of the sunset. Pretty sight and also sentimental. Eventually, our conversation lead to love stuff and to Lhen and I being the overly opinionated ones.

In love, how do you know when to let go? How much is enough? When do you stop running after something that’s running away from you? When you stop and he/she comes back, should you accept him/her?

If you’d ask me you’d get a quick answer. And that comes with an explanation. But some of my friends find it hard to take action towards a new life without an old love. They would rather compromise their dignity and self-respect to try to put things back when in fact, it could never be the same again. You cannot save someone who doesn’t wish to be saved. In this situation, persistence doesn’t guarantee success.

It sounds nega but you have to face it. Wag mo ipagpilitan ang sarili mo sa ayaw sayo. We all deserve respect. We deserve love. And a person who can bear to see you cry without touching your face isn’t someone you should spend the rest of your life with. Sometimes you have to get out of that box to see a more beautiful world. Sabi nga sa Avenue Q, “there’s life outside your apartment!”

Be brave to take the first step. It’s the hardest and the most crucial. Look back but don’t step back. Move. Life goes on and so should you. Who knows, the better person may just be walking towards your crossroads.

This morning, for some reason, email setup of my Blackberry worked! I was finally allowed to register my GMail account and use BB’s email client. Globe must have gone through the complaint I filed with their customer service rep and realized I’ve got a point. I hope this doesn’t happen to others in the future. They should just let their subscribers use their phone for the way it is made regardless of where they bought it. To give Globe its due, I’ve always been very satisfied with their mobile phone service, signal and promos and I never thought of switching until this problem happened. So thank you thank you Globe for fixing this. I love Globe na ulit.

I’m really enjoying my new phone. I found a Wordpress application for Blackberry and it’s so amazing how easy it is to use. Of course it won’t be easy uploading pictures but quick blogs like this can be done on the go. Now boring days with no PC to use for blogging is solved. Love it!
