When in Manila Taipei, the Smart Gilas Team may have lost to Jordan on their recent encounter, but that didn’t stop them from goofing out right after!

mass-planking_thumb.jpg

When in Manila, think you’ve done almost every (harmless) dare you can ever think of? Not if you haven’t tried planking yet! Planking is an activity that requires you to lie down on public places with arms on the side and make it look like you’re stiff dead (like a wooden plank). This craze originated from Australia and it has now extended to countries such as US, Japan. And now the Philippines has joined the [...]

       When in Manila, a lot of funny things happen on the road. Take this guy named Christopher Lao for instance. He’s put a lighter spin on the news yesterday by attempting to cross a heavily-flooded street along Quezon City. And when reporters tried to get his side, he said “…I was not informed…”. Okay, I suggest the guy visit an optometrist to have his eyes checked and get a new pair of [...]

100-million-dollar-atm-receipt-tepper

An ordinary ATM receipt showing a not-so-ordinary sum of money was left lying around somewhere in an ATM Machine near Hamptons. What’s the fuss? It’s not like we’re talking Bronx here. I don’t understand why people make a big deal out of a $100 million account on an ATM receipt (which, When In Manila, amounts to Php 4.3 Billion). Yeah, it’s unusual but it’s not a supernatural phenomenon. Let’s accept that some people are just [...]

There isn't anything "metta" about this photo.

You might think La Lakers‘ Ron Artest is just probably having one of his highly-publicized fits. But apparently, Artest has filed a petition at the LA County Superior Court to change his name to ‘Metta World Peace’. Now I did a quick search online and found out that ‘metta’ means happiness, love, goodwill and all that mush. And I believe it’s got something to do with that citizenship award he got last April lol.

beautifulpeople-website

For the oddest news of the week, 3,000 less-than-good-looking people have gained access to Beautifulpeople.com, a dating site where members are exclusively screened for qualification through their so-called “good-looking” photos. They did manage to scrap off the invaders later on, and even set up a hotline to nurse hurt feelings of the rejects. What the!?!
