Movie Guide

There's nothing really exciting in the movie front this week except perhaps for the scie-fi movie Jumper which tells the story of a boy who discovers his power to teleport and how there are others like him in the same universe.

A teleporter is a technology that allows a person to disintegrate or to disassemble enabling him to travel from one space to another.

Here's the ho-hum movie schedule for this week.

Globe's Very Affordable Landline, Broadband, Laptop Promo

Want a landline, a broadband connection plus an ASUS laptop for only P1,620 per month? Then try the Globe Broadband Sulit Computer Bundle.

I was trying to change my broadband provider as early as last December but unfortunately, Globe's services is still so limited it could not accomodate clients from the city's outskirts. My desire to switch providers was stirred once again when I saw the small laptop being offered by Globe for those who will avail of the Sulit Promo which has a lock-in period of 2 years.

The Asus laptop is not the Asus Eee PC (with 512 MB memory) being shown in their brochures though. The ASUS bundled for the promo is a lower model and retails for about P19,000.

Cockroach For Valentines?

Are you giving your loved ones a heart shape cake this Valentine's Day? Then be careful that you don't get to buy this heart-shaped Valentine's cake from the bakery of one of the leading stores along Matina in Davao City. Unless of course you want an added flavor in the form of a cockroach.

I was looking at the Valentine displays of the said store this morning and was already taking photos when a woman told me "bawal pa naman mag picture dito". I asked her why and she said "kailangan hingi ka muna ng permiso". I saw the cockroach and was able to get a photo even before she called my attention. I can't blame her. If my display is as UNSANITARY as this, I would also be as strict about people taking photos of my "creations".

Now I am wondering if the loaf bread and the other breads I bought from that bakery after doing my groceries are as clean as this.

By the way, you would never expect this store (an all in one store by the way) to have this creepy creature, especially in its bakery. It's a big store, with lots of suki and is locally owned. Got the drift? If you want to know which store you can ask me. I might be tempted to tell you which one. Otherwise, you can compare the photo with the cakes on display in major stores in the Matina area.

Diatabs For Davao City Jail Inmates

The inmates of the Davao City Jail are in need of Diatabs and other stomach medicines after they fell ill due to water-borne diseases. Prison authorities said most of the food brought for the prisoners last Christmas ended up spoiled and it may have caused stomach upset among the prisoners. Visitors are thus encouraged to bring Diatabs and medicines instead of food.

Create A Buzz For Your Business

Do you want to generate awareness about the products or services you offer? Running a Social Survey can be the best way to create a hype about your product, your services and your company. It is also a way to get people's opinion about a certain issues. However, this can be difficult for a small company (or even a bigger one) that does not have the logistics to conduct surveys.

However, there are companies, like DNeero Social Surveys, that can do the work for you. If you want to create your own surveys then contact this blog. We can make things easier and more efficient for you.

Davao Crocodiles Invade Manila

No, you don’t need glasses because you heard it right---crocodiles have indeed invaded Manila. However, the Davao crocodiles that have invaded Manila are not the crocodiles that you have in mind which are already too many in Manila. This time, it’s the real crocodiles that are doing the haunt.

The crocodiles which are now occupying an 11-hectare land formerly occupied by Boom na Boom along Roxas Boulevard in Pasay, were brought by Davao business Sonny Dizon who owns the Davao Crocodile Park. The show is part of the Davao Crocodile Park Roadshow and Wildlife Encounter.

Dizon’s contingent consists of 200 crocodiles, an albino Phyton (is that the yellow one that people are petting in Davao?), an orang-utan, a civet (whose poop is the source of the expensive Kopi Luwak), an alpaca and other animals. Manilenos will have a share of the heart-stopping tightrope walk performed by experienced acrobats over a pond with at least 67 crocodiles waiting for them to fall.

US Not Free From RP-Style Scandals

Even a highly developed and said to be politically mature country like the United States has been spared from similar scandals that have hit the Philippines in the past. How about the Monica Lewensky scandal that rocked US President Bill Clinton's morality? Similarly, the several women linked to former President Erap Estrada as well as the linking of socialite Baby Arenas to former President Fidel Ramos have rocked their presidency.

The dismissal of eight American attorneys which led to the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales also has a similar ring to the resignation of various heads of office in the Philippines after they were rocked with scandal.
