Adam and Jaime from the Discovery channel show “Mythbusters” are probably the luckiest geeks on the planet. They have the coolest jobs in the world with unlimited resources at their disposal, all in the name of science. Plus, Kari Byron is really hot. Here are the top “myths” we want the formidable Mythbusters team to try to crack:
04. Rapunzel and Her Uber-Strong Hair
“Ewww.. split-ends!”
The Challenge
This would be fun if they can find the Guiness world-record holder for the longest hair and sign him/her up for this. Either they confirm this myth, or someone would end up badly hurt and bald.
The Coolness
Proving hair can be used as a means of lifting people (and things) to a great height wil give rise to a new technology. Imagine people in executive suits rappeling from buildings with nothing but their hairs!

Born in the province of of Bukidnon in the Philippines, Manny Pacquia was as humble as any baby born in the provinces of a third world country. Like any responsible boy growing up in the province, Manny grew up having to earn his way through school and the day to day necessities of food. To survive, Pacquia did everything from selling pandesal to construction work to selling balut. Early on, Manny had the affinity for boxing. Regardless of the hours he spent trying to earn his keep, he made sure that he could train everyday for a weekly boxing tournament in his province.
Less than 15 years later, Manny Pacquia is on the cover of Time Magazine and has broken the world record for winning championship belts for seven different weight classes. Who would have thought that such a humble, hardworking boy from the province would arguably be the best boxer of all time.

Hip hop beats, obscure 70’s trumpet music, old school fusion, sick breakbeat juggling, Siouxie and The Banshees, headache inducing drum and bass, and ABSURDITY. Typical Gaslamp Killer gig. Ive never seen him live but the videos online give you enough adrenaline to slap one of them lomo toting hipster kids sensless. Its a good thing I was watching these videos in the confines of my place.
Yes, The Mother F*$#ng Gaslamp Killer is coming to Manila. Brought to us by Red-i and 32Bar productions for the first anniversary of DUBPLATE. He will be joined by Salamangkero, Red-I, Mulan, Soulflower and Don-P. I would’t normally spend php300 to watch some do DJ his thing. But I’m actually looking forward to this.

I recently saw the 2nd part of the Twilight Series which is New Moon because I was dragged along by my sister, her husband and my friend. When we were just getting the tickets, there was a long waiting line to get into the theater. Funny thing is the line was made up mostly of girls and gay people. I think that was exactly how it was meant to be since no straight guy would really want to see this movie on his own and by his own accord.
We finally got the tickets, went inside and the movie started. During the movie, you could hear the gay people shout out during parts when the lead actors took of their shirts. It was funny in a weird kind of way but there were really some things in the movie I didn’t understand. Here’s some of it:

Sometimes we find words of wisdom in the most unusual places. Bumper stickers, tv ads, billboards, even food labels oftentimes contain amazing strings of thought. What’s surprising is the abundance of these inspiring quotes from unexpected sources. Case in point: Magic: The Gathering. If you have no idea what it is, it’s a card game developed by a Math professor way back in ‘93. Others may know the game from walking in the mall, where hordes of young men can be seen clutching black binders, turning cards sideways, and knocking on the table. If you still don’t know what the heck I’m talking about, click here.

In line with Halloween, we’ve decided to list the top Filipino Mythical Creatures that we have here in the Philippines. Just a brief background, the Filipino culture is deeply rooted with fascination of the supernatural.
1. Aswang – is a Filipino Mythical Creature term that is a generic term applied to other Mythical Creatures such as Shapeshifters, Monsters, Witches and Creatures of Nature. Whey Aswang is mentioned, the most common picture that will enter your head is that of the manananggal. This is generally an old lady whose body splits into 2 parts at the stroke of midnight. The lower half (waist down) would stay at home and the upper half (waist up) would grow wings, fly and hunt for a victim to eat.

In the spirit of the upcoming Halloween 2009, we talk about one of the most famous roads that we have in the Philippines: Balete Drive.
Balete Drive is a street located in New Manila, Quezon City, Philippines. It got its’ name from the numerous Balete Trees (Scientific name: Ficus stipulosa) that populate the road which local Folklore says that Balete Trees attract Spirits and Paranormal beings.
One of the most famous ghost stories that have been surrounding Balete Drive since the 1950’s is the story of a White Lady who suddenly appears in the backseat of your car while travelling this road. It is advised that if you are traversing Balete Drive to keep your backseat full or don’t look into the rear-view mirror unless you want to see the ghost of a lady wearing a white night gown, has long hair and has no face in your back seat.

I’ve been a very big fan of the American Chopper reality show even before it’s episodes where available on my cable service. Even before I got to watch my first episode, a lot of people were already wearing OCC merchandise. I would be able to watch shows of the infamous OCC shop on youtube or from downloaded videos in my friend’s house. I remember being astonished by how they could start with what seemed like just scraps of metal, a bunch of tubing, a V-Twin engine, and transform those materials to a precisely engineered chopper. And don’t forget how awesome looking these bikes were.

I recently had a conversation with a friend where we talked about Filipina actresses we would like to go out with and possibly do more than go out with(if you know what I mean). A handful came to my mind but it didn’t take me too much thinking to figure out who my top pick was. Enthusiastically , I said, “si Rhian Ramos pre”.
We all know Rhian Ramos from your favorite shows such as Captain Barbell, Stairway To Heaven, Zorro and a lot more. I might say that I see her as a very down to earth girl with what she portrays when acting. Someone who knows her might say I’m wrong, but I guess that would impress me more(this would mean that she acts very well). She got 1 gazillion hot chick points when I found out she’s a rock chick whith good taste in music ( Up Dharma Down, Radioactive Sago to name a few)She also has very effortless grace about her. And of course, she’s so darn sexy.
