Dock! Canon Ball!

It was one of really fun days with people you've been wanting to see so much because you miss them. You are seated inside a moviehouse with your high school friends enjoying a movie called "The Last Samurai", a Tom Cruise-starrer. More than paying attention to the movie, you look around and thought about how you missed these guys.

After you guys separated ways for college, there was barely any time to get together. You were all lucky this time because you were able to set a group date where everyone agreed to the time and place. Thank gawg! After much effort to see each other, your schedules finally matched.

So there you were, looking around your row at the moviehouse. Your lovebird classmates were busy whispering to each other, the school jock was in dream wonderland while both his feet were rsting on the seat in front of him, and two gossip girls were chit-chatting. "They've never changed a bit," you thought and then turned your attention back in the movie.

The scene was when the war between the Japanese governement and the samurais were about to broke off. Everybody in the battlefield was getting ready to attack. On the signal of the cannon, the soldiers and the samurais will run towards each other and clash. Everybody was concentrating now. Any moment now. Three... two... one... BOOM!

"Arggh! Ano yun!?!?!" the Jock was awakened from his deep slumber by the sound of the cannon. You guys looked at each other for 3 seconds then all let out the loudest laugh you had in years. the look at Jock's face was priceless. He was startled, alright! Haha. "Yup!" you thought, "They are still the same,"

Cosplay Anyone?

What is Cosplay? Cosplay, short for costume play, is a type of performace art in which the participants dress themselves as specific characters from manga, anime, comic books, video games and fantasy movies. Some are good at it; some are bad. Let's look at some of them and decide which are the good ones.

And this has gotta be the worst cosplay out there!

Pinoy Urban Legends 1.0

Urban Legends are modern folkloric tales thought to be factual by those circulating them. Urban legends are not necessarily false but, most often than not, they are distorted, exaggerated and sensationalized overtime. Some of the more popular Urban Legends are those of Bloody Mary, the Blair Witch and those that involve psycho killers. The Philippines has its share of creepy urban legends and although Halloween is still weeks away, let's look back at some of the scariest apocryphal tales.

1. A couple was driving along a dark road in the middle of the nigh. The car broke down and after much tinkering, the guy decided to go and ask for help. He told his girlfriend to lock the doors and windows and not to go out while he was gone. And so, he left. Because the guy was taking too long to return the girl fell asleep, only to be startled by a squalid old man in tattered clothes knocking at the window. Scared for her safety she tried to shoo the man away but to no avail. The old man became more aggressive which caused the girl to scream. She blew the horns madly thinking somebody would hear and help her. The old man went away but came back several minutes after. He knocked at the door and showed the girl the bodiless head of her boyfriend. When she started screaming again, the old man showed the girl the car keys.

2.A woman was working in a post office. She was supposed to use a sponge to seal the envelopes but one day she didn't. She used her tongue instead. Days after , she noticed that her tongue had a strange lump in it. It got so big that she was having a hard time eating or talking. That was when she decided to see a doctor. He cut open the lump and a live roach crawled out! Turns out, there were roach eggs on the envelope flap and they hatched in her tongue!

3. They were roommates. The other one was getting ready for a party while the other was getting ready to sleep. So the former closed the lights as he went out of the room. When he reached the parking area, he realized that he forgot his keys so he went back to get it. He didn't bother to open the lights anymore since he knows where it is and he does not want to disturb his sleeping roommate. After the party, while he was driving back to his dorm, he noticed that there was an ambulance following him and some police cars too. As soon as he entered the grounds of Ateneo, the ambulance was still tailing him. When he reached his dorm, there was a crowd surrounding his room. His roommate was murdered, his body dismembered and on the mirror was a note in blood "thank you for not opening the lights".

4. Four female friends went on a joyride to Batangas one weekend. That late evening, in one lonely stretch of road, they decided to have some photo-souvenirs of their spontaneous foray. So, they went off their car, and took pictures of themselves three at a time (the fourth was behind the camera). Something entered their minds and began to play hide-and-seek. After their game, one of their friends did not return. They searched for her to no avail. She was never found. A few weeks after the sad incident, the film they had in their camerea was developed. The owner of the camera took a look at the developed pictures and started screaming. In one of the pictures, among her three friends, was an old lady with her arm slung across the shoulder of their missing friend.

5. It was the onset of sem break. While a resident was still packing her bag, her roommate was ready to go. Since the former wasn't done yet, the latter went ahead. Then the roommate's parents came in looking for her. The resident told them that she already left. When the resident was about to finish her packing, she opened the closet and saw her roommate inside--already decomposing.

6. A girl was left alone in a jeepney. The girl then noticed the driver kept on glancing at her with a menacing face. Scared because she was alone and it was past midnight, she ordered the driver to stop so that she could get off but the driver did not respond. Worse, the driver drove off his route and drove in streets she've never seen before. Then after some time, the driver went back to his route and brought the girl home. When the girl got off the jeep, the driver got off too. "Miss, pagdating mo sa bahay hubarin mo yung damit mo tapos sunugin mo. Kasi kanina nung tiningnan kita sa salamin wala kang ulo. Baka kasi namanigno ka kaya nagiba ako ng daan para maligaw kung sinoman yung manignong sumusunod sayo."

So That's What You Call Work?

I'm working. I think? Haha. So after graduating last march and passing the boards last July, I just got work! I have been training for this cert company for almost two weeks now and I must say I am enjoying it so far. Except for my work being on a night shift (no, I am not a "pay for sex guy"), I find the work pretty easy..for now at least. I'm still on training so I shouldn't be verey confident. Thng is it doesn't really look like work to me. Regulars in the office would eat at their desk, sleep when they want to, talk like friends while working... I mean come on! Is that what you call work?

I say I have made a really good decision choosing this job. I could have been working since after I passed the boards but I chose not too because this was the company I wanted to work for. It took them so long to hire me but dang! I am having a blast. The work is so laid back. People there are pretty nice too. And sometime next month, we would be moving to a new office which is way cooler than what we have now. Think plasma TVs and Nintendo Wiis few steps away from our desks! How kewl is that! Haha.

Now, I'm still wondering what should I do with my first pay check! That would be the very first money I played hard for...I mean "worked" hard for. Sigh...

Survivor Philippines

Philippine television is overflowing with franchises of international hit shows like Ugly Betty, American Idol, Project Runway and many more. It still maddens me that GMA got the rights to bring Survivor (the first ever reality show that rocked my TV viewing habits) to the Philippines because I was such a fan of this show. I liked it more than American Idol, The Amazing Race or Fear Factor. I watched the first 6 seasons religiously as if I'd die if I'd miss a single show. It would have been a little better if ABSCBN would have been the network to have made a Pinoy version of it since it was them who've introduced it in the Philippines afterall via Studio 23. I don't wanna make conclusions this early but I don't think GMA would satisfy my expectations. They should have just left Survivor alone.

Although I must admit, the promotion they have made for Survivor is pretty impressive, but hey that's what they did with Pinoy idol and we all know what happened? It was a big fat F! F for FLOP! I still want to believe though, that Survivor would turn out to be different especially after hearing that its the News & Current Affairs Deaprtment that would be handling Survivor. but then again, I wouldn't be surprised if Paolo Bediones single-handedly make this the worst show on Philippine televison this season!

I was able to watch the full Wednesday episode of it and because it runs 30 minutes for 5 days a week, unlike the original 1 hour weekly show, I just have to say it doesn't work. That episode was boring because there was no highlight. Survivor is not made for Philippine weekday primetime. With regards to the choice of castaways, they got it right. They were able to get a good bunch. Paolo Bediones is still annoying as host. Ugh! Jeff Probst wanna-be!

Here's the show I am waiting for and IMO, unlike Survivor, this one can be lengthened to be shown 5 times a week. Me, biased? NOT!

Philippines' Tallest Building

We all know that the World's tallest building right at this very moment is the Taipei 101 and that by September 2009, the title of the World's Tallest Skyscraper would belong to Burj Dubai. Now the question is do you know the tallest building in the Philippines? Do you know how it ranks among the world's tallest? or at least in Southeast Asia?

I'll give you a hint. The Philippines' tallest is located at Ayala Ave. corner Rufino Street in Makati City. It houses call centers like Citibank, Convergys and IBM Daksh. The first ten floors of the building is occupied by one of the oldest banks in the Philippines with which the building was named after. Have a guess? If you're guess is PBCom Tower...you're right! It is the Philippines' tallest building.

Completed in the year 2000, PBCom Tower is 259 meters high and has 52 floors. It is ranked 83rd tallest in the world. It is owned by Philippine Bank Communications hence the acronym PBCom. The building is ranked 8th tallest in Southeast Asia but according to sources, it would drop to being only 19th tallest in SEA a few years from now. Huh? So is there be a building on the works to become the Philippines' tallest skyscaper? Yup. There are actually three proposed buildings that would surpass the PBCom tower soon.

Skycity that would be erected at Mandaluyong City would stand 335 meters high by its completion in 2012. Another structure that would try to topple the PBCom is the Lopez Center Tower that would be soaring the Rockwell skyline at 320 meters. But the one I am excited about is the tallest of them all. The PAGCOR tower after its completion in 2012 would be the Philippines tallest building ever. It would be 655 meters high which would be taller than Malaysia's Petronas Tower, Chicago's Sears Tower and Taipei 101! If this is really true then this building would put the Philippines on the map! Haha...

B.I.T.C.H.

Everyone of us had had at least one moment when we forgot about being nice and unleashed our mean side. Now don't raise that eyebrow on me, lahat tayo guilty when it comes to this. I don't blame you guys for being mean especially when the occassion calls for it. I did this a gazillion times especailly when the element I am involved with is limitless stupidity. It easily unleashes the HULK in me. Almost always when in this sitaution, we get mean with our words. Ispired by a thread in PEX, I would like to give you a list of statements you guys can use when somebody pushed your "mean" button.

"How many times do I have to flush before you go away?"

"Don’t bother me. I’m living happily ever after."

"This isn’t an office. It’s HELL with fluorescent lighting"

"YOU!! Off my planet!!!"

"Therapy is expensive. Popping bubble plastic is cheap. You choose"

"Errors have been made. Others will be blamed"

"And your cry-baby, whiny-assed opinion would be…?"

"I’m not crazy. I’ve been in a very bad mood for 30 years."

"Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed"

"Do they ever shut up on your planet?"

"Back off!! You’re standing in my aura."

"Don’t worry. I forgot your name too."

"I just want revenge. Is that so wrong?"

"Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it."

"Wait…I’m trying to imagine you with a personality"

"Chaos, panic and disorder . . . my work here is done."

"You look like ****. Is that the style now?"

"Earth is full. Go home."

"Aw, did I step on your poor little bitty ego?"

"A hard-on doesn’t count as personal growth."

"You are depriving some village of an idiot."

"If ******** could fly, this place would be an airport"

Mean, huh? But I thought about it and since we are living int he Philippines, wouldn't it better to have a ready list of mean statements in Tagalog? Well, I have it right here which I'll be posting sometime soon.

Improve your Favicon

Last time I taught you how to make a favicon with IconJ and I know some of you would have preferred a better favicon generator. Well, I've got good news. DeGraeve is so much better than IconJ in generating a kewl favicon. You have two options to generate a favicon with DeGraeve. One is to make it yourslef using a palette, or by importing a picture.

What's great about DeGraeve is that you can crop your picture so that only your desired portion of the image would be generated as your favicon. After you've generated your favicon, save it in your computer and then upload it using the process I have posted earlier here. Yup! You still need to use IconJ to generate the favicon because it is so much faster using that. So there! Improve your favicon now!

How to Add a Favicon

Favicon is a small icon located at the address bar of your browser window and is used for identity and branding of a site. Favicon is short for favorite icon and is recognized by its ".ico" extension. If you're using the later versions of firefox and Explorer, then it would also be displayed on the tabs. Spoon Lagoon has one. It's my picture! Yeay!

Favicons are usually the logo of the company who owns the site but most bloggers don't have a logo, just like me! So what I used as a favicon is my picture. It is really up to you to decide what picture to use but I suggest soemthing simple because favicons are just 16x16 small. So let's start with generating your own favicon. There is a good number of site that generates afavicon for free but the one I used is by IconJ. They make it very easy to make a favicon.

1. Click BROWSE. Import the photo from your computer.
2. Since favicons are small, you might wanna sharpen it by clicking the drop down box SHARPEN LEVEL.
3. Click UPLOAD IT! to generate your icon. You will then see the actual favicon you'll be seeing next to your site's URL.
4. There would be two option to display your favicon but the easier way is by direct link. Copy the code generated from your favicon.
5. In blogger, go to your dashboard. Click LAYOUT then EDIT HTML. Be careful not to mess with anything in your code. Better back it up or be sorry. Tick the Expand Widget Templates check box and look for "<head>". A much faster way to do this is by typing CTRL F and type the code .
6. Just above it, paste the code you've generated through IconJ.
7. Click Save.

And there you go! You now have a favicon for your site. If you're having problems please tell me and I'll try to help you with your favicon.

Free Hugs Manila

Would you a hug s total stranger? If I have to be honest, I won't hug just anybody I meet in the streets. There's just something about our Filipino upbringing that would forbid us to do that. But breaking this norm is the Free Hugs Campaign that was started by a man only known by his pseudonuym "Juan Mann". Free Hugs Campaign started in 2004 at Sydney, Australia and now everybody in the world is doing it, including the Philippines!Check out the video...

Report said that prior to Juan Mann's first ever Free Hugs Campaign, he was suffering depression brought about by personal difficulties. But one time during a party a random man hugged him and said that it was the greatest thing that ever happened to him. Months after that, he was found at Pitt St Mall in Sydney carrying the iconic FREE HUGS sign...

Are You Ready to See the Numbers?

Country: PHILIPPINES

Number of Rural poor (million) (approximate) , 2004 31.2
Poor as % total rural population, 1997 50.7
Population living below $1 a day (%) , 2000 15.5
Population living below $2 a day (%), 2000 47.5
Population living below the national poverty line (%), 1997 36.8

According to UNICEF, 26,500-30,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they “die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world. Being meek and weak in life makes these dying multitudes even more invisible in death.”Source

In The Not So Distant Future

.


I was tagged by Red to answer this meme that IMO is actaully for married guys. Haha. I am lightyears away from marrying anybody. I'm still young, Red. Haha. Except for some questions, the meme seems fun to accomplish naman so I'll give it a try...

1. When was your first kiss?

Haha. I can still remember it like it was yesterday. I was in 2nd grade that time and I had a girl for a seatmate. The night before that day, I saw Aladin and the kissing scene at the magic carpet ride kind of got stuck in my head so until that day I was daydreaming about it. Then I just saw myself kissing my seatmate's hands (I think I was aiming for her cheeks but her instinct kicked in so quickly I kissed her hands). Hahaha... My cheeks turned red and I had to walk out from the scene. I was like "What was I thinking?!?!"

2. When was your first REAL relationship and how long did it last?

Hmmm... Real? None...

3. What age were you allowed to date?

I'm a freakin' guy! Guys are allowed to date the moment our mother ejected us from her...(toot)!

4.What was the craziest thing you did for love when you were a teenager?

When I was a teenager? That was not so long ago! But to answer the question... wala. I know boring yun but really I did nothing. In fact, nothing happened because I did nothing and I regret making that mistake 'til this very day. I curse myself for letting an opportunity to be happy go. Kaya at night, I always ask myslef 'What if...". Yak! Drama mode. Gross!

5. How long was your longest relationship and what's the secret?

Haha. I told you I haven't had a single REAL relationship. Haven't had the chance eh.

6. How long did you date before you decided to settle down?

Since I haven't settled down I'll alter this question na lang. How long do I think should I date before settling down? I guess after a year of living-in. That's when you would really find out if you guys could stand each other living together for the rest of your lives!

7. How lond id you know that she/he is the one?

Since I haven't find "THE ONE", no idea... But I've always believed that when you meet "the one", you'll get that gut feeling eh. Yak! That's so cheesy...

8. Now, at what age will you allow your kid(s) to date? (if and only if you end up having kids)

I would definitely have kids in the future (after I'm finished with the single life). It really depends on the kid. If I think the kid is responsible enough to date at 14, then why keep her from what she wants? It is just dating anyway. On second thought, maybe after I've made her believe that you'll get smelly down there after having sex, then I'll let her date!Haha.

9. When it comes to your kids dating, will you be a cool parent or a strict parent?

And again this would all depend on my kid. If my kid needs me to be strict, I'll be strict. But we all want to be a cool parent, don't we?

10. What advice can you give your child when they start dating?

Never to get a boyfriend/girlfriend just because all their friends has one. I would never want my child to be doing something just because he/she has to or because that's what scoeity dictates her to do. I would like them to do what they want as long as they know that they are not violating my rules and His rules. Naks! Galing ko naman. Apir!

And this is the part where I tag soembody else. You're tagged: Cat , Madel, Nicely & Ark. I'llbe waiting...

Have a Picnik!

Compare the pictures below. It's the same picture but one is better than the other, right? The one on the right is better in terms of sharpness and color. I did not use Photoshop to do this. I used a free, browser-based photo editing tool to make the original look more vibrant and to make its color more realistic.

What editing tool did I use to make my picture look better? Alter your most treasured stills using this awesome online photo editor called Picnik! This thing is browser-based so no need to download anything, no need to pay for anything, just register and its all yours for using.

What I like most about Picnik is it's so easy to use! You don't need serious editing skills to perfect a shot of yourself, a landscape, or that mobile phone you fancy. Thanks to its easy-to-navigate interface, with large tabs and scroll bars, an awesome effect is just a click away. All you have to do is to click on the icon of the effect you want, adjust the degree of the effect using a slide, and there you go! You've just made your photo cooler!

There are tons of effects available in the free version. Yes, there are two versions of Picnik. One is for free and the other, called the Premium. The difference between the two is with the number of editing tools, effects and frames yu can use. But when you can get a lot witht the free version, why the need to upgrade to premium, right? With picnik, you can edit your photo's sharpness, color, contrast, and exposure. You could even crop, resize and get rid of red-eye. But that's not all. Picnik allows you to add effects like tint, neon, sepia, molo-ish,etc. Add text, shapes and frames. There's alot of effects to choose from. That picture of a puppy above was transformed to this cute image on the left with Picnik.

What i did was I added a frame to make it look like a picture from a polaroid cam, added text and shape and that's it. I did this under 3 minutes! That's how easy to work in Picnik.

Try it yourself. Click on the image below and start editing...

Viel Glueck, Salinggawi!

After the UST Tigers officially gave up their bid for the Final Four of the Men's Basketball last Sunday, it is up to the university's most popular dance ensemble to cheer up the Thomasian crowd. Tomorrow, the Salinggawi Dance Troupe would once again vie for the much coveted UAAP CDC crown. After they fell 0.5 point short from the University of the Philippines Pep Squad last year and failed to nail a double grand-slam victory, they are back to get back what they've lost.

Although competition is fierce, the tigers are fiercer. I'm hoping for zero injuries, cool moves & awesome stunts tomorrow. Wow the Araneta crowd, Gawi! Viva La Liga El Tomasino!

Flick Critique 03

A cruise ship’s battle with a rogue wave, teen pregnancy in a typical American family, and a group of MIT students out to gamble at Vegas: All that in this edition of Flick critique.

A. Poseidon (2006) – It is New Year’s eve and people are partying at a large luxury cruise ship called the Poseidon when a rogue wave hit the ship and turned it over. A group of passengers now tries to escape death by climbing out of the ship but that's no easy task when the ship is filling up with water. The special effects are great. Acting is mediocre. Story is okay. Directing was bad. This is one of those movies that you wouldn’t recall watching five years after. The concept was good but the director wasn’t able to bring out the best out of it.

B. 21 (2008) - It stars Hollywood's newest "It" girl Kate Bosworth, veteran actor Kevin Spacey & Jim Sturgress playing the role of the fresh meat in a group of "gifted" MIT students who heads to Vegas every week armed with fake identities. I'll go 50-50 on this one. It has a good story but it was predictable. And although the cast delivered really well, the movie is just a so-so for me. It didn't blow me away but if you've got 2 hours to bust, this is an entertaining option.

C. Juno (2007) - This perfectly clever movie is hard to beat! You would love every second of it. And it is impossible not to fall in love with Ellen Page's character in the movie with her stylishly rude and witty dialogues. It is amazing how the director, with the help of the cast, was able to tackle teen pregnancy without giving you the feeling of being preached! Everybody in the movie gave terrific acting.Another thing I like about it are those tiny little details of the movie that would really make you giggle. Totally a 2 thumbs up!

You Need to Vote!

After the announcement of The New Seven Wonders of the World last year, another campaign is going on: The New Seven Wonders of Nature. The campaign is aimed to create awareness and spread the importance of caring for mother nature. Yeah, go green! People are asked to nominate a nature site and convince people to vote for it to become a wonder of nature.

If you think the Philippines has an entry in this campaign you're wrong. Kidding! It has four!!! Well, four that I know of, actually. There could be more. And they are doing pretty well on the site's live ranking. Bravo Filipinos around the globe!

So what's the deal with this campaign? Well, by the end of the year, the site would be narrowing down the nominations to a short list of finalists. Note that there could only be one entry per country so three of the four nominees would say bye bye to their bid for the title. And from there, the final stretch of voting will begin. Soon they will be announcing the New Seven Wonders of Nature.

Oh yeah , I forgot to tell you which nature site from the Philippines were included. The highest ranking of them all (as of Aug. 30) is Mayon Volcano ranked 8th overall. Next in line is the Puerto Princessa Subterranean River ranked 12th. The other two Philippine entries are the Chocolate Hills (15th) and Tubbataha reef (17th). Funny thing is I've never been to any of these nature sites. The one I'd like to visit most is the underground river in Palawan. Nature lover ako eh. It has been said a lot of times that Palawan is the Philippine's last frontier so before I die, I would like to see it for myself. Sure it looks really nice on photos but I want my own eyes to see the wonder that is Palawan.

Although to tell youthe truth, I don't like Palawan to be the Philippines' entry. Becuse when it happens, I am sure that people around the world would want to go for themselves too. And I don't want it messed up by foreigners! I want it to remain as virgin as possible. Bohol's Chocolate Hills should be the Philippines' entry since it is an established tourist attraction anyway. So go Choco Hills!!! Support this Philippine natural sites now. Click on the Image below to vote.

Most Annoying Celebrities 2008

Ahoy! It is now September and the countdown to Christmas has officially begun! So start saving up for my gift, friends, because I'm definitely excepting! Haha. Since it is the start of a new month. I wanna post something explosive, you know? Something that everybody would be talking about (hopefully...). Something like "The Ten Most Annoying Celebrities in Philippine Entertainment", yeah? YEAH!

I was a couch potato but not anymore. I'd rather surf the net than watch uberly disgusting shows on Philippine television. But that does not necessarily mean I don't watch Pinoy shows because I do! Some of the programs I watch are Game K N B?, Jessica Soho, Singing Bee, and some local shows at Studio 23, ETC and QTV. It is just that whenever I see faces of celebrities I hate on TV, I switch to another channel instantly. It's fast becoming a reflex, actually. So I decided to rank my most hated celebrities and tell the whole world that "I effing hate their effing faces!!!!"


10. Hero Angeles - This guy thinks he's somebody when the truth is he's a nobody! He doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in this list but his overly annoying face puts him right on the last spot. Come on! Girls used to swoon like crazy over him. Gross!

9. Paolo Bediones - I know he looks nice but there is just something about him I don't like. Something I can't tell in words. If there is a person I hate for no apparent reason, then that would definitely be Paolo Bediones. Am I the only one who feels this way about him?

8. Mike Enriquez - Come on, now! Who would not be annoyed at his face? That face is just disgusting to say the least (I'm really mean, am I?). Just look at him and there goes your appetite. It is a joke how he've become a very important firgure in newscasting. Seriously...

7. Iwa Moto - Whenever I see her face on TV, it disgusts me. Worse than that is I'm seeing more of her in malls. She has replaced Katrina Halili as endorser of FHM. She now has a standee in every single Magazine shop in malls. Geez...

6. Christy Fermin - I know a lot of people will agree with me on this, right?!? She is just super annoying! There is something about the way she talks and dresses eh. It is like she's trying so hard to look decent but it is just so hard to believe.

5. Luis Manazano - Okay. I admit. Sometimes, I laugh at his jokes. Take note of the work "sometimes", people. His actually okay but when he starts doing "pa-cute" on love stories, he could be really annoying. I dunno. Everything looks fake when he does it.

4. Sexbomb dancers - One word: JOLOGS! Gawd! They even have a freaking television program! I mean what's up with that? They are probably one of the reasons why I don't watch GMA more often. Their costumes, dancing, songs...eeekk!

3. Willie Revillame - All who hates Willie Revillame say "I" (I, I, I, I, I infinity). This guy is so lucky he has the support of ABSCBN executives because this guy seriously needs to work on his pronounciation of words. Sometimes all I hear is "Itopang pregramanio angwowoeeee..."

2. Regine Velasquez - I think a lot of people would hate me for saying she is annoying but what can I do? I'm not a fan of her voice, really. Truth is I hate it. I especially hate it when she does hosting for a show. She's desperately trying to be funny when she's not! And when she laughs, ohmigawd, I have to plug my fingers into my ears.

1. Joey de Leon - Some people say that if you hate Willie, then you're a fan of Joey. NOT IN MY CASE! He is, hands down with no competition at all, the most annoying celebrity in Philippine Showbizness today. The ugly face combined with his outdated sense of humor is the perfect recipe for irritation. Ugh!

So, guys, there you have it. The ten most annoying celebrities according to me. Haha.. Have I left out somebody? Violent reactions? Feel free to comment.
