You're a--you're a complex Freudian hallucination having something to do
with my mother and I don't know why you have wings, but you have very lovely
legs and you're a very nice tiny person and what am I saying...
Got this from Yahoo! News. Wouldn't it be great to have it here in the Philippines? Otherwise, I'd have to call in another sick leave to nurse my would-be broken heart...
TOKYO (Reuters) - Lovelorn staff at a Japanese marketing company can take
paid time off after a bad break-up with a partner, with more "heartache leave"
on offer as they get older.
Tokyo-based Hime & Company, which also gives staff paid time off to hit
the shops during sales season, says heartache leave allows staff to cry
themselves out and return to work refreshed.
"Not everyone needs to take maternity leave but with heartbreak, everyone
needs time off, just like when you get sick," CEO Miki Hiradate, whose company
of six women markets cosmetics and other goods targeted for women, told Reuters
by telephone.
Staff aged 24 years or younger can take one day off per year, while
those between 25 and 29 can take two days off and those older can take three
days off, the company said.
"Women in their 20s can find their next love quickly, but it's tougher
for women in their 30s, and their break-ups tend to be more serious," Hiradate
said.
Hime & Company staff can also take two mornings off twice a year as
"sales shopping leave", so they can race to stores to hunt for bargains.
"Before, women could take half-days off to go to sales, but you'd have
to hide your shopping bags in lockers by the train station," Hiradate
said.
"But with paid leave, we don't have to feel guilty about bringing our
shopping bags to work, and we can enjoy the best part about sales shopping --
talking about our purchases afterwards."

Found these while getting my weekly celeb updates from Perez Hilton.
This was taken during his latest trip to Sierra Leone as a UN Ambassador of Goodwill. Sigh... I'm such a weakling for athletic guys with a heart for the poor.
Here's what David blogged in his official website:
“I’ve just returned from visiting Sierra Leone in Africa as part of my role as
UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. I was honored to be invited and though I saw many
problems and issues to tackle, I was heartened by the incredible and selfless
work UNICEF and other agencies are doing on the ground to help. I was also
humbled by the people of Sierra Leone who despite the problems they face, keep
smiling and are hopeful for the future. They made me feel extremely welcome in
their country and I will never forget the experience.One in four children die in
Sierra Leone before they reach the age of five and many of the diseases that
children suffer can be prevented. I genuinely hope that by visiting the affected
areas and spending time with some of the people there, it will draw the world’s
attention towards the problems children face not only in Sierra Leone but
similar situations across the world. If you want to make a donation to the
fantastic work that UNICEF does then please click

Thank you
David”

Well, is it time to move on now?
For almost three years, I hung on to my first gen iPod Nano out of sentimentality and practicality. With just 2 gigs of memory, I tried to squeeze in all the songs that I felt like playing over and over again on my long road trips.
It gets tiring after a while.
(FYI, it had to rest in its box for some time.)
But just when I thought that I was better off without an iPod, I saw a super 100 times better evolution of my iPod: the PINK third generation iPod Nano.
It has bigger memory (8 gig's the highest) and better resolution so it can play videos aside from just being a mere music player and a convenient memory stick for photos and other files. Both of this without sacrificing its Nano image of chic and tiny.
But I say that most of all, I like it coz it's pink!
Yeah, it's too chic to be true but isn't it the best Valentine's day present for myself?
Can't wait 'til Hot Mimi releases her next album, "That Chick." With Cupri, will.i.am and T-Pain collaborations, I bet the songs will be really, really hot for the summer.

Meanwhile, everyobody's raving about Paula Abdul's single in Randy Jackson's new album Here's a teaser which I got from imeem. I think you have to log in to listen.
Anyway, even Perez Hilton likes the song. YEY! Dance like there's no tomorrow, Paula!
During last week's get-together, I was told by my friend Tanya that diplomas for DS '05 grads are already available at the Office of the Registrar. So I thought that going there on a Saturday morning was a great idea.
I took pleasure in walking from Bellarmine to Admin (Xavier) because of the good weather and less human traffic. There were only few students who took Saturday classes and as Rick Olivares wrote in his blog, "that was a blessing because on a day like this the solitude and nostalgia were in perfect communion with the leafy greens and wide-open spaces."
But earlier, when I was to be dropped at Bellarmine, I was surprised to see a traffic build up in front of the Church of Gesu. It was only after I saw the Jesuits and some nuns that I realized it must have been the funeral mass of Fr. Honti.
Many of us, Filipinos, may have never met Fr. Hontiveros during his lifetime. But for sure, we have all sang the words of his mass songs. His music stays with us.

Anyway, I realized that it's been nearly three years since I left the Ateneo. Aside from the new buildings which grew like mushrooms all over the Loyola Schools complex, I noticed too that there were more ATM machines. It was a good thing coz I needed one that morning.
Just for kicks, I thought of visiting the Archives to look at some yearbooks. It was a bit embarrassing coz I asked for older yearbooks only to realize that Rick O was the guy who sat in one of the tables. Anyway, I think he's too busy to notice what I asked the lady for.
So after secretly laughing at the yearbook pics and write-ups of some people I know through work, I decided that it was time for me to go home. Of course, I did not forget to drop by the college chapel. I thought I was lucky coz there were confessions but apparently, they were for a class who's having their recollection. I think I'll come back before Ash Wednesday. I miss confessing to a Jesuit.
I went to have lunch at Shakey's after. I did not mind pigging out alone since I used to do that a lot, especially when my college friends/flatmates were out. But just when I thought I had my own peace and quiet with pizza and chicken, a group of 30 college kids came in. Ayayay! But hey, it wasn't as if I never became a part of such group. I remember trying out all the restos in Katips and Libis with my blockmates as a college frosh...
Okay, I'll stop at this point.
It's the new laptop from Apple, silly.
LAPD reports say...
- When the cops showed up, Britney was locked in the master bathroom with Jayden James.
- Britney refused to come out for nearly three hours. When she did, all she was wearing was panties.
- Britney was incoherent, screaming at the cops, "What the f*** are you doing in my house? I know who you are." She continued ranting, "I don't need your f***ing help." At one point Britney, whose moods swung wildly from laughter to rage to sobs, hollered, "You will do as I say."

Ermmm... I think she really needs help.
Update:
Here are some really scary pics of Britney from the meltdown. Makes me think she really, really needs help.

As the old, familiar saying: you sow an action and reap a habit; you sow a habit and reap a character; you sow a character and reap a destiny goes, I started smoking as a mere social action. I admit--without the slightest bit of shame, that I tried smoking out of satisfying my curiosity and succumbing into peer pressure. Later on, this mere social action became a habit. It became an activity after class, during long breaks, before and after an exam, after eating and while drinking coffee and booze.
