Creative writer from San Diego who is blissfully lost somewhere in Asia right now. I'm on a mission to find my next big adventure, my next crazy story and the best beer in the world.
This is just disturbing. Here’s a comparison of some high paying job salaries from around the world. Jobs like graphic designers, web developers, medical transcriptionists and more. As you can see, these high paying jobs aren’t so high paying in the Philippines…
We really need to do something about this if we want our economy to rise.
Job Salary Comparison: Philippines vs the World (graphic designers, web developers etc)
This happened on TAM airlines.
A 50-something year old white woman arrived at her seat and saw that the passenger next to her was a black man.
Visibly furious, she called the air hostess.
“What’s the problem, ma?” the hostess asked her
“Can’t you see?” the lady said – “I was given a seat next to a black man. I can’t seat here next to him. You have to change my seat”
– “Please, calm down, ma” – said the hostess
“Unfortunately, all the seats are occupied, but I’m still going to check if we have any.”
The hostess left and returned some minutes later.
“Madam, as I told you, there isn’t any empty seat in this class- economy class.
But I spoke to the captain and he confirmed that there isn’t any empty seats in the economy class. We only have seats in the first class.”
And before the woman said anything, the hostess continued
“Look, it is unusual for our company to allow a passenger from the economy class change to the first class.
However, given the circumstances, the commandant thinks that it would be a scandal to make a passenger travel sat next to an unpleasant person.”
And turning to the black man, the hostess said:
“Which means, Sir, if you would be so nice to pack your handbag, we have reserved you a seat in the first class…”
And all the passengers nearby, who were shocked to see the scene started applauding, some standing on their feet.”

(3)-GO AHEAD – this is a dare not permission DO NOT DO IT.
(4)-WHATEVER – is a woman way of saying F**K YOU.
(5)-THAT’S OK – she is thinking long and hard on HOW and WHEN you will pay for your mistake.
BONUS WORD: WOW! – This is not a compliment, she’s amazed that one person could be so stupid.
5 Deadly Terms Used By A Woman

Just in case you haven’t seen, the internetosphere erupted in both praise and criticism when two magazines, Mega Magazine and Preview Magazine, came out with their January 2012 issues. The outcry was about the supposed, and seemingly highly photoshopped and/or surgically enhanced models on the covers: Jinkee Pacquiao and Charice Pempengco. (Or maybe the outcry was just because Twitter was failwhailing… either way, there was an outcry!)
In case you haven’t seen the Jinkee and Charice magazine covers, here it is – http://vincegolangco.com/celebrities/jinkee-pacquiao-vs-charice-pempengco-photoshop-wars-of-mega-magazine-and-preview-magazine/
It does not stop there! Apparently, Charice and the Pacquiao women are on a plastic surgery and photoshop rampage!
Check out these before and after photos of the now newly surgically enhanced Charice!
I’m no celebrity-recognizing-face-matching expert, but I’m pretty sure that’s her! I mean look at them! They’re both Asian! Tsk tsk tsk. Talk about getting Louder!
I’d have to say, the letters up are a big improvement though….
Anyway, there’s also that other outcry about the Mega Magazine cover of Jinkee where people are claiming that she looks completely fabricate, from her neck to her eyes, to her boobs, something was doctored, either with a sharp knife or with a lasso tool. Here’s the rumored and controversial Jinkee Pacquiao magazine cover you’ve heard so much about:
I’m no expert, but I do think it was photoshopped a bit.
Oh and this next one stirred some controversy too.
Of course, many claim that both the Charice and this Jinkee cover is only photoshopped minimally, with some hardcore fans even claiming that no editing was involved at all!
And just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, I then see this magazine cover of the other female Pacquiao celebrity! None other than Aling Dionisia with her own FHM cover!
Again, I’m no expert, but I think this one is photoshopped a bit…
Oh photoshop, where will you take us next?
FYI, just in case it wasn’t obvious, this is a satirical piece meant to poke fun at the situation. Not to be taken seriously. In case you’re also wondering, that girl that kinda looks like Charice is Tila Tequila.
If you’ve seen the cover of Mega Magazine and Preview Magazine lately, then you’re probably saying what everyone else is saying: “Who the f*** is that?”
This has been the initial reaction of many readers who got to check out the covers with Jinkee Pacquiao and Charice Pempengco.
The two celebrities are seen (though you might not recognize them) on the covers of Mega and Preview Magazine and are barely recognizable. With a seemingly furious mix of plastic surgery and photoshop, Jinkee and Charice are made to look like supermodels.
It begs the question of what is too much. I mean we all know that magazines do add a little brushing up and extra make up and all, but where should we draw the line? Moreover, it also begs the question on whether or not we should indeed be adoring and idolizing women who themselves are not proud of what they look like and undergo an extensive amount of surgery and photoshopping.
Do we really want kids and teenagers to be looking at this and feeling insecure about themselves for not looking as fabulous, when these women actually looked just like them, or worse, before they got rich and started spending on excessive cosmetic surgery.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind a girl going up a letter or two, or getting a little nose fix or mole removals, but to have people, whom you would not recognize at all from what they previously looked like, on the cover of magazines, that might be too much.
It reminds me of the Baz Luhrman song: “Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen” and the line that goes: “Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly!”
But for now, we’ll sit back and glorify these extensively photoshopped beauties as they go forth and change the way young women will look at beauty and them selves. Girl power! Go on and shake what your doctor gave you!
What do you think of these covers?

For WhenInManila.com, we need to know the big stories in and around the metro when they happen, as they happen! So we need to be connected as we go on our daily routines.
Thankfully, we carry around our backup internet stick wherever we are! From our own experience, the Sun Broadband Internet has been the most reliable internet broadband stick in the Metro Manila area. We’ve used it a few times wile out of town, and it just depends where you go and if they have coverage there. Fortunately, Sun Broadband is already available in major cities nationwide! So again, we highly recommend it.
Sun Broadband Put to a Test
When in Manila, we tested Sun broadband at home. Clearly the coverage Sun has in Manila is amazingly vast and fast.
We didn’t expect to get more than 1Mbps speed but hey, it went more than that!
We were able to work on emails, watch youtube videos, and of course, we were able to stalk our favorite Facebook friends and Twitter celebs…. even if the electricity was out!
Loading and using it is pretty easy too even for a noob like me!
I also did a speed test via speedtest.net and here’s the video to show the result:

We asked our listeners:
“One last time, let’s look back at the year that was! Give us your Best & Worst of 2011! Movies, music, BFs & GFs, personal stories or whatever”
Here are our favorite responses about your Best & Worst Everything for 2011:
Francine Prieto @fwancheen: PITBULL the best!!!! dami ko worst!!!!! 2011 my worst year ever!!!!!!

Joie Camille Bartolome: Best time for me is finding the love of my life and graduating from college.. i dont have worst times though i always look at things positively.. 2011 was a blast, hope 2012 is too..
John Peter Pascual: Best dressed of 2011 – Rihanna
Worst dressed – Nicki Minaj
Aurea Angel Ramos Enriquez: BEST-
When I celebrated my debut. 🙂 And the other one is that, my defense was a very big success, because I was exempted to my final exam.
WORST-
The dog that my bestguy gave to me died. :'(
Michelle Fernandez: BEST- our trainer,(which also happens to be my crush)fell in love with me. The months of courtship was full of Kilig moments and Happiness(as always).Even he’s assigned to a different site of our company,he puts so much effort in seeing me everyday. We eat breakfast after shift,dinner before shift,movie date every weekends,out of town with friends and he even introduced me to his family. Eventually, I said “yes” to him and we became a couple.
(Warning: this is quite LONG.haha)
WORST:after several weeks of being together,I asked him if he could change his Relationship Status here(FB). Me not that Surprised by his answer,He declined. His reason was he doesn’t want to incorporate his personal life in this “crappy social networking site”. I asked him to change that because,there’s this girl who keeps posting on his wall,I had an instinct that there’s “something” going on between the two. There was even a time where our common friend posted a message on his wall saying “I’m happy for you and Mish. Stay inlove!”,which he deleted. My instinct grew stronger and I felt that he’s not proud of me being his girlfriend.We talked about it,he said that he doesn’t want to incorporate his “personal life” here in this “crappy social networking site”,it will only ruin us,he said that the girl was just a “friend” nothing more,nothing less. I had a hard time believing it,my instinct became stronger and stronger. We broke up,got back together,broke up again because of the same issue. I found myself unhappy. I wasn’t supposed to give him another chance,but he came to my house,crying and saying sorry for everything and promised to get things right this time..so,I gave him The Second Chance. After we got back together,I tried not to doubt him again and forget the about the “Instinct” I’m feeling. 4 days after,he broke up with me. Saying the words I told him during our 2nd Break Up “I can’t stay in a relationship full of doubts and Uncertainties.” Then a week after,I saw his FB post saying I love you to the girl who he said is just his “friend”.
All of these happened from august til december. Well,talk about how I spent my holidays. Haha
Thanks for listening..needed to get this out.hehe
Anne Cucio: i’ve bin reading the comments and the story of michelle fernandez hit me’ 🙂 bin thru that actually trice as worst than that last dec 2010, and 2011 has bin the turning point of my life…i wasnt lookin for someone better but God gave me her anyway’ but the thing is once you’ve move on…you’ll realize bigger dreams of urs and be suprise that ur crappy ex is not in it db? there goes my best story my worst….wala i guess if we surpassed it then its not that worst anyway 🙂 haha have a great day everyone and pls play today my life begin 4 michelle fernandez thanks!

2011 Top 100 Songs in Manila Philippines on Mellow 94.7
For the New Year in the Philippines, it’s become tradition, and a necessity, for many people to get the biggest, baddest and loudest fireworks to light up themselves.
Problem is, that every New Year in the Philippines, there’s also hundreds of people who end up loosing their fingers, or more, due to faulty fireworks.
It’s because of this, that we at Mellow 94.7’s The Wake Up Show have decided to run the “Toroto Campaign!” (Twitter #torototcampaign).
Just in case you’re not familiar, torotot is just local slang for the New Year horns or maybe we can even sort of compare it to the vuvuzelas from the World Cup that we saw a flurry of. Either way, a torotot is something that won’t take your fingers away by accident.
In many other countries, fireworks are actually illegal and only those with proper permits can have those dangerous light shows. Moreover, fireworks cost a lot of money! Why risk your fingers and pay a lot of money, just to blow it up?
So I say leave it to the professionals. Head over to the malls, hotels or other venues who will be having the professional and better looking fireworks this New Year!
Oh and my partner Tracy also had more suggestions on slogans for this #TorototCampaign:
Tumorotot ka na ba?
I love a big torotot
Two thumbs up! – Because I still have two thumbs #torototcampaign
My torotot is bigger than your torotot
Mas masarap, mas masaya tumorotot
Do it the Torotot way
But for now, I think we’re sticking to the “Save a Finger, Blow a Torotot” slogan.
Can you add more slogans for us to promote this? Please tweet and be sure to use the #torototcampaign hashtag.
Have a very happy and SAFE New Year! Spread the word about the #TorototCampaign!
The Torotot Campaign: Save a Finger, Blow a Torotot

This second pop mix is the DJ Earworm Mashup – United State of Pop 2011 (World Go Boom) – A mashup of the 25 biggest hits during 2011 in the U.S.
DJ Earworm says: “It doesn’t match Billboard’s year-end list, since I’m basing it off of the weekly lists this year. This allows me to include big hits from the last portion of the year, which have always been noticable absent. Because of the Billboard’s early cut off date and their emphasis on chart longevity, songs that are released in the last four months of the year are either split between the two years or moved to the next year, even though the song was most popular during this year. I also don’t want a track appearing two years in a row just because it happened to be peaking right at the cutoff date. From my perspective, a song belongs in the year it peaked, not the year it ended its run.”
This mix has songs from:
Adele – Rolling In The Deep
Adele – Someone Like You
Black Eyed Peas – Just Can’t Get Enough
Bruno Mars – Grenade
Bruno Mars – The Lazy Song

“Pop Danthology 2011”
Music and video mashed by Daniel Kim
How I organize some of this year’s top pop songs. Ideally I don’t want to have the video in TV but it was something I had to do to bypass youtube’s copyright filters – if i did fullscreen youtube would recognize that it’s the property of the majors and they block it in nearly every country… I don’t know how the other mashup artists get away with it…

For me, I think it was a year off goodbyes, when we said bye to a visionary in Steve Jobs, and goodbye to our youth as the book and movie series we grew up to, Harry Potter, finally saw the last installment on the big screen this year. But it was also a year of discoveries, from music like that of Adele and Foster the People to new friends both for my personal life and professional career. Either way, it was a great year and I’m so excited to be on The Wake Up Show with you guys! We lasted the whole year and I’m looking forward to another great year with you all.
Cheers to 2011! Looking forward to 2012!
What Marked 2011 for You?
It’s December 26, the day after Xmas.
Oh real quick here are the special occasions today, Dec 26:
“National Thank You Note Day” – The presents have been unwrapped and put away. Now it’s time to write those thank you notes.
“National Whiner’s Day” – A day dedicated to whiners, especially those who return Christmas gifts and need lots of attention
Anyway, on the show today we talked about the C word, yes, I know it’s still taboo, but we had to bring it up. Today we talked about CHANGE.
See my friends and I usually spend the holiday season reflecting on changes we saw in ourselves and changes we want to see. Of course. this all sounds professional and eloquent here, but pretty much we were just reminiscing on the year that was over some drinks and thought it would be great to ask our listeners about this.
So, it’s Post-holiday reflection time: This year, what changes have you seen in yourself? Also, what changes do you want to see for next year?
Here are some of the responses we got:
Vhan Gil Sayre Serneo: I seen myself mature this year not only mentally but also physically…. Next year I want to see myself in a stable job and ready to go abroad. I really need to help my family and be rich….
Inciong Jenny: more mature… more patience… And next year wish to travel and enjoy life more…
Val Patrick Fabregas: This year I did three jobs at the same time – two part-time college teaching while having a full-time work at a call center as a technical trainer. But I already ended my part-time work last October. Im seeing to march this March 2012, finishing my Masteral Studies. Pls greet my wife, Gie & my daughter Precious. More power to the WakeUp Show & Happy Holidays DJ Tracy/ DJ Vince
Riyao Komni: Good Morning! BECHEEz!!!
for the topic: This year I become selfish and always
inside my room alone,, but probably next year i’ll be
more spontaneous and out of the box. 😀
I just want to say hi to my colleagues Dom, Celine and Rosalie..
please play “What the hell” by avril lavigne.. thanks and more power!! 😀
Jomar Ambalan: This year i become more productive, workacholic and look older so next year i just wanna relax and celebrate life. And one more thing this year i become listener of mellow 94.7:). Hi vince and Tracy. I love you guys. Hi to my friends emcee, marlon and cams hehe i hope you’re listening.
Wilson Chan: Good Morning Beeeee CheeeZz Vince and Tracy! It was great to finally meet my famous nephew! Next mission is to meet Tracy! Hahaha! Merry Christmas man! For next year I will be more aggressive in pursuing my work and career and stop procrastinating! Please greet my lovely wife Tala a good morning… Thanks!
I’m not really sure is planning to stop procrastinating next year is really the way to start that new resolution…. lol.
For me, I’m still figuring out whether or not it’s time for me to head back to the US. I’m still loving my job but just not sure if the pay here in the Philippines is really the best for starting a retirement fund. Again, need to sacrifice the $$$ for the fun right now, and I’m having lots of fun being on air and also doing the blogging thing. So let’s give myself one more year here to see what comes out of this.
But yeah, what changes did you see in yourself or what do you want to see next year?
“Be the change you wish to see in the world” ~ Mahatma Gandhi.
If this doesn’t make you smile…. then you are dead inside…. lol. Ok, just kidding, but really, this video is guaranteed to make you smile. Merry Christmas everyone!

Just finished reading the book “:59 Seconds – Think a little, Change a lot” by Richard Wiseman, author of Quirkology.

Exposes self-help myths, and presents scientifically proven techniques that help you achieve your aims and ambitions in less than a minute.

Professor Richard Wiseman offers many quick and practical ways to improve your life gleaned from today’s cutting edge-science, and in the process gives a psychologist’s myth-busting response to the self-help movement. Whether you’re looking to be more decisive in your life, to find a new job, or simply to be happier, the chances are that this book has the answers you need.

Here, psychologist Richard Wiseman exposes these modern-day mind myths and presents a fresh approach to change that helps people achieve their aims and ambitions in minutes not months. From mood to memory, persuasion to procrastination, resilience to relationships, Wiseman outlines the research supporting this new science of rapid change and describes how these quirky techniques can be incorporated into everyday life. ” Find out why putting a pencil between your teeth instantly makes you feel happier ” Discover why even thinking about going to the gym can help you keep in shape ” Learn how putting just one thing in your wallet will improve the chance of it being returned if lost ” Discover why writing down your goals is more effective than visualizing them ” Find out why retail therapy doesn’t work to improve mood and what does From the Hardcover edition.

We’re finally on Xmas week! I’m suffering from an over-partying and over-screaming Monday aftermath with a cracked voice. Plus, so many of our friends have come down with the Holiday blues, wanting to just stay home and rest from their own holiday parties.
Anyway, not sure if this might have been another reason for the over-celebration of some, but on this day, Dec 19, 1997, the most expensive film made (up to that time) at $200 million was released in theaters on this date – Titanic!
So with all those reasons to throw a great bash, we wanted to ask our listeners to fill in the blanks for us:
“You know it was a good Holiday Party (or any party) when _________!”
“You know it was a good Holiday Party (or any party) when _________!”
Here are some of our favorite responses:
@madel82: Good morning be cheez 🙂 You had a great xmas party when you get your fair share with the videoke 🙂
@VinVinJacla: You know you had a good Christmas party when __________________” my crush congratulated me for a job well done
