Funny / Weird News:

Lord Jesus Christ (his real name) hit by car.

Victim, injured in crosswalk, is treated in hospital for minor facial injuries.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. – The victim might have forgiven the woman who ran him down in aMassachusetts crosswalk, but police haven’t.

Police say a Pittsfield woman has been cited for running down a man named Lord Jesus Christ as he crossed a street in Northampton on Tuesday.

The 50-year-old man is from Belchertown. Officers checked his ID and discovered that, indeed, his legal name is Lord Jesus Christ. He was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor facial injuries and later released, according to the local paper.

Fact or Fiction

Drinking coffee will sober you up quickly.

FICTION

There are no shortcuts to sobriety. No amount of black coffee, cold showers, exercise, or water will speed up the process. Your body processes alcohol at a constant rate of approximately .015 percent of blood alcohol content per hour, regardless of gender, weight, height, age, etc. Only time will sober you up.

Fact or Fiction

Chocolate is toxic to dogs and can kill them.

FACT

Chocolate contains a substance called theobromine (a compound related to caffeine), which can sicken and kill family pets. Three factors determine how toxic the sweet stuff will be to a particular animal: the type of chocolate, the size of the animal and the amount of chocolate ingested. The most dangerous confections are unsweetened baker’s chocolate and powdered cocoa, the least, white chocolate.

Symptoms of theobromine poisoning include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle tremors, restlessness and increased urination. In severe cases, cardiac arrhythmia and seizures can result. The possibility that an animal will kill itself with chocolate is very low. More likely it will get a nasty tummy ache. In any case, it is still prudent to keep all chocolate far away from pets.

Reason to party today – coz it’s happy hour somewhere in the world.

Today is Robert’s Rules Day, a day to mark the birth, in 1837, of one Henry Martyn Robert. After Robert was disappointed in the way he himself handled a meeting, he resolved to put together a parliamentary guide to help others (and himself) facing similar situations.

Robert’s Rules of Order is the short title of a book containing rules of order intended to be adopted as a parliamentary authority for use by a deliberative assembly.

On Air Mellow 94.7 talking about Iron Man 2, Marc Nelson, Boracay, Cliff Diving

Lots of cool stuff on air! Thanks so much for joining me. We talked about my trip to Boracay and my experience Cliff Diving! Here’s a video of that so you can see for yourself how AWESOME it was! – Boracay Cliff Diving at Ariel’s Point

We also talked about girls falling in love with Marc Nelson, who I ran into while cliff diving. Though what’s funnier was how guys were falling in love with Marc Nelson as well…. long story… will have a different post on that soon.

Anyway, we also talked about the Iron Man 2 premier which I hosted for Mellow 94.7 last night. It was an ok movie…. but not really one that blew my mind away as much as I would have wanted it to. Still need to see it though coz War Machine was cool, but not on the top of my list for coolest movies by a long shot!

Well will be back on air tomorrow morning. Here’s the other stuff we talked about on “The G-Spot” with DJ Vince G, only on Mellow 94.7

My YouTube Video Pick of the Day

This is a crazy parody of Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s song Telephone. It seems like it’s done by some locals who are VERY resourceful. I’m actually really impressed with the resourcefulness that they have for this low budget video but that really gets the video of Lady Gaga. Yeah it’s a bit Ghetto, but I’m sure they worked with a 0 budget! So any haters out there, I’d like to see you come up with a video like this with no budget. =P

Fact or Fiction

It’s hotter in the summertime because the Earth is closer to the sun.

FICTION

The Earth is actually closer to the sun in January, and farthest from the sun in July. It’s not the distance from the sun that causes the change in seasons, but our position relative to the sun. The Earth is tilted at a 23.5-degree angle to its orbit around the sun. In the summer, even though it’s slightly further from the sun, the northern hemisphere is tilted so the sun’s rays hit it more directly than they do in the wintertime, which is what makes it hotter. Because the days are longer in the summertime, the sun also has more time to heat up the Earth.

The Earth’s tilt is also why the seasons are reversed in the southern hemisphere.

Philippine Elections and YOUR Turn to Vote on May 10

Saturday, May 1, 2010 / Vince Golangco

Dough forget to vote!

It’s election time in the Philippines and one of two things will happen to the voters of this nation: One is that many will forget to vote, and Two, many will vote multiple times… Well that’s just the way the country works…

But either way, it’s good to know that there are people out there who do their part in reminding forgetful, non-news-watching, non-tv-viewing, non-radio-listening, non-internet-checking people to go out and vote.

At Krispy Kreme, they made some new, limited edition doughnuts that will surely remind you to go out and vote. Even better is that they’ll reward you with an “Orange You Glad” (orange juice type shake) drink if you come into selected Krispy Kreme branches and show your voting finger stamp. Of course, you can probably just stamp your finger with a regular stamp, but that’d be really sleezy and the doughnut gods will frown upon you.

Also, if you want to practice your voting skills, you can come into a Krispy Kreme outlet where you will, for a limited time, place your order with a ballot-like form where you have to shade in your doughnut orders. It’s practice for people who have never shaded ballots before. Believe me, it’s much more complicated than you think… just ask the citizens of Florida!

Anyway, thanks to Krispy Kreme, here are some tips on preparing yourselves for the upcoming elections:

1. Turnout will be HUGE! So come before 7am, unless you want to be in line all day.

2. Keep your cool! Stock up on H2O, you don’t want to add to the heat of the election fever, right?

3. Did you know you’re only given one ballot? So make a list or better yet, use a Krispy Kreme vote 2010 mock ballot as your guide. (available at participating outlets)

4. Bring a friend or two! Make the elections a fun democracy date.

After you vote:

5. On May 10, add this page where you can get a coupon on Facebook – http://Facebook.com/hotlightgirlchloe then go to your nearest Krispy Kreme branch, present your coupon, flip your finger (not the bad one) marked with indelible ink and enjoy a free Krispy Kreme Orange You Glad Chiller.

So yeah, When In Manila (had to say that) on May 10, don’t forget to cast your vote for the people who will best govern the Philippines to make it a better place to live in. Then, do come to Krispy Kreme where you can get rewarded for your right to vote!

Fact or Fiction

Men have a higher tolerance for alcohol than women.

FACT

Due to physiological differences, a woman will absorb up to 30 percent more alcohol into her bloodstream than a man of the same height and weight drinking the same amount of alcohol. Compared to men, women tend to have a higher percentage of body fat, which does not absorb alcohol, and a lower percentage of water, which does — resulting in a greater concentration of alcohol in the blood. Men also have a greater quantity of an enzyme in their stomachs that breaks down alcohol before it enters the bloodstream. Since women tend to be smaller and lighter than men, they are at an additional disadvantage when it comes to holding their liquor. So, ladies, it’s best not to engage in any drinking contests with your male buddies.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Kick-Ass the Movie KICKS ASS!!! (An Ass Kicking Film Review)

Friday, April 16, 2010 / Vince Golangco

“Three guys beating up on one dude with everyone else just watching… and you’re asking what’s wrong with ME?!?!” said the lead character, Kick Ass (his superhero name), as he tries to defend the one guy being beaten to death.

That was probably the one line that really got me thinking from this movie.

Now before I go on, Kick-Ass, the movie, KICKED ASS!!! I mean like, it was TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

Kick-Ass-Movie-Kicks-Ass-Review (3)

Without giving away too many spoilers, let me just say that it was a very earthly and REAL story.

Pretty much, some geeks asked the question on: Why no one has tried to be a superhero yet in real life? Dave, the story’s main character, realizes that there is so much sh*t going on in the world and that all we ever do is watch. No one ever takes initiative or takes action.

So as you can see, the plot alone has a very noble basis, yet coming from a very realistic place.

Initially coming into the theater, and from seeing the trailers, I honestly thought this was going to be another stupid movie. I was thinking more to the likes of “Scary Movie” or “Naked Gun” and even “Mystery Men.” Fortunately, I was in for a pleasant surprise.

“Kick-Ass” was not like any of those idiotic movies. This one had a great story, great acting, FUCKING AWESOME fight scenes and the coolest characters! The character portrayals was actually one I liked the most. Each personality in this movie was well developed, from their dialog, to their screen presence and even their internal conflicts. I could see the soul of each character as I watch each move they made and each word they said. The child who was a no more than a child, the father who had a vengeance, the boy who wanted to save the world and the son who wanted to be like his father.

Anyway, expect lots of cool action scenes, funny segments, bloody guts flying all over the place and of course, ONE KICK-ASS MOVIE!!!!

Definitely recommend you go see this!

Bothering me… cat serial killer

Wednesday, April 14, 2010 / Vince Golangco

If you haven’t heard, there’s this blog going around the internet that’s really bothering me. It’s from a self proclaimed “cat serial killer”, Joseph Carlo Candare, who hates cats but enjoys hurting and killing them. It’s really disturbed me not only because I love cats but also because am very appalled by those who abuse their power over others who cannot defend themselves. Below is my comment on his blog and also a re-post of his original entry (he took it down after the masses expressed their opposition of his actions).

————————–

Joseph’s friends are right, he shouldn’t be apologizing to these people… the only ones Joseph Carlo Candare should be apologizing to are the cats he has hurt!

It’s not about what you harm — a cat, a horse a monkey, or a person. The fact is that those who have power should not abuse it over those who don’t. A person clearly has the power to jump on a cat, expose it to extreme suffering and even end its life. But those mature adults who are responsible, considerate and humane would not ever invoke pain or suffering on those who cannot defend themselves.

This is no different than domestic violence, when a stronger man would beat up a weaker woman; or child abuse, when a grown adult would hurt a defenseless child.

So if anything, I really hope that people think before they act. Joseph, you imposed a lot of pain and tremendous suffering into another LIVING, BREATHING creature. Please put yourself in the shoes (or paws) of that harmless and powerless being and try to empathize next time before you go on your power trips.

You know you remind me of another person who believed he was superior to others and that his hatred towards them justified his deranged actions. He believed in his ascendancy so much, that he was able to rally a whole nation into “cleansing” themselves of those whom they thought were inferior. Today we know this event as the Holocaust… and the person who bravely led this movement was Adolph Hitler.

I hope others can learn from this…

Life Happens… One Song at a Time

Tuesday, April 13, 2010 / Vince Golangco

It hasn’t been too long yet since I started my job as a radio DJ on Mellow 94.7. It’s one of those jobs that I thought could only be a dream, and no more. Fortunately for me, I never really limited myself with my own glass ceiling and instead, naively set out to conquer the world.

Now as most of you know, there are many things in life that seem extremely simple from the outside looking in. This false impression makes many Guinness world records seem easy enough for a child to accomplish, but can be unexplainably complicated when you’re doing it yourself. Well, DJing, is not really one of those jobs. It’s pretty easy, if you don’t stress out like an autistic genius in a room full of network marketers. Well, right now, I’m that autistic dude with pyramid scheming fudgetards approaching me left and right.

I don’t know why, but I have a tendency to want everything to be perfect, and it stresses me out when it’s not. Furthermore, I like planning things out two weeks in advance. So when I’m sitting in that DJ booth, two things usually happen. One – I try to plan the perfect shpeal uhhhh….. stutter… stutter…. I mean…. spiel… the perfect spiel every time I go on air. And two – I try to plan out the next hour full of adlibs, greetings, song requests, music, ads, time checks, sponsorships and the kitchen sink! Often, this results in a cluster f*ck of craziness.

So instead, I sat myself down and remembered the last time I was in a high pressure situation. It was my junior year of college and I (for reasons I still do not comprehend) ran as president for this international business organization, and WON. I was there at the first meeting with my team discussing (what seemed to be) the 500 tasks we had to accomplish within 8 weeks. This included raising a few thousand dollars, organizing two charity events, setting up professional mixers, interviewing about 50 professionals, taking in-depth exams per week, preparing presentations every week and more! Just imagine Donald Trump’s show, “The Apprentice,” with less glamor, more work and MORE DONALDS breathing down your neck!

I almost had a nervous breakdown that night.

With ways unknown to me, I somehow made it through that first meeting. Then, I somehow made it through the first night, then the next morning, the next afternoon, the next day and so on. Eight weeks later, I was amazingly able to accomplish all the goals set out for me and my team. What I realized, was that you have to take things one step at a time.

“The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” – Chinese Proverb

I was stressing out when I thought of ALL the millions of things I had to do for the next eight weeks. Coz let me tell you, there was A LOT! But, if I break it down to one task at a time – one phone call, one email, one idea, one little meeting; then the big giant stress ball doesn’t seem so huge anymore.

I realized this while I was at work today. I started to just worry about my next song, instead of the next 240 minutes. There is a lot you do need to do in radio – pick your songs, read some greetings, check messages sent over text, messages on Facebook, read the ads, make sure the right ads are playing, play sponsored songs, make sure your volume is ok, prepare the phone patch, get your background music going, give a time check, talk into the mic, get your news ready, then all back to getting the next song ready again coz the amount of time it took me to write this already caused that one song to pass….

Get it? Lots to do. But, instead of stressing on all that. I just need to take things one song at a time. It makes everything a lot simpler.

Somehow, they haven’t fired me yet from this DJing thing. So I guess I must be doing ok. One song at a time, I’m pretty good at that.

“Yard by yard, life is hard. But inch by inch, life’s a cinch!” -anonymous quote

Anyway, that’s my two cents for the day. Hope it helps you somehow. But I gotta go now…. My next song is up…

Fact or Fiction

Sunscreens with an SPF of 40 or 50 provide significantly more protection against UV rays than SPF 30 sunscreens.

FICTION

Tests have shown than sunscreens with an SPF of 15 block 93 percent of UV rays, while SPF 30 sunscreens block about 97 percent. Anything higher than 30 still hovers around 97 percent. The Food and Drug Administration has recommended limiting SPF values on sunscreen labels to SPF 30 to prevent consumers from spending more time in the sun than they should

Fact or Fiction

You are more likely to be struck by lightning than attacked by a shark.

FACT!

According to the National Weather Service, the odds of being struck by lightning in the United States in any given year are 1 in 700,000. By contrast the odds of being attacked by a shark in the United States are roughly 1 in 8 million.

So don’t be afraid to go in the water — just be sure to get out and seek shelter at the first sign of a thunderstorm, because you’ll be a sitting duck in the water or on the beach.

Adam Carolla vs Manny Pacquiao & the Philippines

Saturday, April 3, 2010 / Vince Golangco

Here we go again, anther comedian says something about the Philippines and everyone and their mom thinks it’s the end of the world.

If you haven’t heard, talk show host and American comedian Adam Carolla went on a pretty funny (in my opinion) rant about the holy saint / prodigal son / chosen one / prophet almighty of the Philippines, Manny Pacman Pacquiao.

Examiner.com reports:

Adam Carolla starts off his vulgar tirade by bashing Manny for not giving blood before a fight. He then proceeds to say that Manny is off “praying to chicken bones” and that you don’t have to respect him because he’s a “fu**ing idiot”. “Someone has to tell him that it doesn’t make a difference.”

“Here’s how you know when your country doesn’t have a lot going for it: When everything is about Manny Pacquiao.”

“Get a fu**in life as a country”

“All you fu**in got is just an illiterate guy who happens to smash other guys in the head better than other people”

“Really, you want some guy with brain damage running your country? Why don’t you get your sh*t together?”

“All they have over there is Manny Pacquiao and sex stores.”

“What happens when Floyd Mayweather beats him? Does your country go into depression?”

I laughed a bit when I read that. Especially about the part where he questions the aftermath of a Pacman loss. Which does have it’s credits. I’m not quite sure how fans will react to a Manny Pacquiao loss at this stage of his career. Especially considering many people take many things, like this meaningless rant of Carolla’s, too seriously.

I’ve had my share of saying some things that I thought were absolutely harmless, yet got hate comments talking about how I’ve offended people by joking about locals re-using Christmas gift-wrappers. These people I’ve offended of course also add an encore by sending death threats and saying that I should die (Lol – click ignore).

In my opinion, it’s more of a personal matter where insecurity usually leads people to get defensive. People, who know who they are and are confident in who they are, do not easily get offended by others who call them out.

If you told Michael Jordan that he was a bad basketball player, instead of threatening you back or complaining, he would use that doubt you have and push himself to do better on the court. He’s confident in himself, he knows what he can do and that he doesn’t take everything everyone says too personally. If you however tell a struggling basketball player that he sucks, well then, you’ll get lots of hate mail, anger, frustration and more negative reactions. It’s because the struggling basketball player is insecure about himself and thus, every little thing you say just makes things worse.

ou think Adam Carolla does not know what he’s talking about in this matter? Well, duh. Doesn’t really take a rocket scientist to figure that out. I know for a fact that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Which is exactly why I don’t bother lowering myself to even bother being offended by what he has to say.

Why waste any of my time or energy feeding off negative emotions towards an idiot? Why lower myself to that?

And that my friend is what is annoying about “people like you.” You waste time with negative energy towards an idiot like Adam Carolla and his pointless rant that had no justification.

Don’t waste time with negative energy towards an idiot like Adam Carolla and his pointless rant that has no justification.

That’s my two cents. Love it or hate it. Hopefully people can realize that words are just words and that they should instead work to prove these words wrong, rather than go on a fruitless rampage.

Please direct all hate mail to my cat, Snug, who was the main influence that trained me to be a blunt, idiotic, country hater.

“From Paris with Love” Movie Review – You’ll Love It… If You’re a Fan of Steven Seagal or Jean Claude Van Damme…

Friday, April 2, 2010 / Vince Golangco

If you read my long title, “From Paris with Love” Movie Review – You’ll Love It… If You’re a Fan of Steven Seagal or Jean Claude Van Damme… and you happen to like Steven Seagal or Jean Claude Van Damme, then you probably didn’t get my sarcasm. So let me lay it out for you… this movie SUCKED BALLS!

It really sucked.

You’ll like it if you like mindless movies with no story or plot. I know people have said that line before… “This movie has no plot…” but this time I swear to you, it’s true! This movie has no story whatsoever. If they did use any sort of script, it was just to make sure that the right expressions of pain were said during different fight scenes that Steven Seagal John Travolta kicked the asses of the ogres that attacked him.

But seriously, some suicide bomber / spy / terrorist person called Jean Claude Van Damme John Travolta and the Travolta man was able to tell exactly where she was from the sound of the cars on the freeway. Is there only one freeway in Paris?

The fight scenes were somewhat ok. But the entire package left you feeling empty and stupid. As if you missed something from the story, until you finally realize that there was NO story.

On the other hand, this movie was rated 5 Stars and Two Thumbs Up by both Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme….

Speaking at the Junior Achievement of the Philippines Inc. (JAPI) Awards Night

Thursday, April 1, 2010 / Vince Golangco

I just found out about this organization, the Junior Achievement of the Philippines Inc. (JAPI), as I was asked by my friends, at Ex-Link Events to speak and host their awards night.

It’s a cool organization that helps college kids to get a feel for the corporate business world. I was thoroughly impressed by the level of professionalism and drive that the college students had.

See each college / university has it’s own chapter of the Junior Achievement of the Philippines Inc. (JAPI). Each chapter represents a company that the students need to run and manages just like a regular corporation. They have products to sell, campaigns to market, customers to satisfy and deadlines to meet. At the end of every year, they all come together for an annual toast and awards ceremony to honor the stand-outs of each university.

JAPI IN A NUTSHELL

Junior Achievement is a singular achievement of a unique youth development program for tomorrow’s entrepreneurs and business leaders.
In JA, you “learn business by doing business”.

JA is a practical economic education program
Organized and manage your own small scale business
Guided by adult advisers/consultants from the business community

You can find out more about JAPI on their website http://japionline.org

It sort of reminds me of my business organization from my own alma mater San Diego State University (SDSU). I was the President of the premier international co-ed business fraternity – Alpha Kappa Psi. This decision of mine to join an organization that promoted growth, professionalism and leadership was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. Not just because of all that professional mumbo jumbo, but also because I met like minded individuals whom I know now as my best friends.

Just thought I’d share some thoughts on this in case anyone still in school is reading. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend that you find and join an organization that is in tune with your own personal ideals. Whatever it may be, just get involved. Join an glee club if you like singing, join a cosplay club if you like anime, join a dance club if you like dancing, join a drama club if you like acting. Whatever it is you like, find others who enjoy it to and surround yourself with people who will accept you for who you are and push you to greater heights within that realm.

Just my two cents. AKPsi for life!

Proof that Men Who Don’t “Wear the Pants” are Still in Charge!

Sunday, February 28, 2010 / Vince Golangco

The Dockers brand, usually known for their line of Khakis, is unveiling a new campaign to empower the men in today’s world.

They are asking the REAL MEN to put the pants back on. It sounds pretty cool right….. WRONG!

I’m sure there are lots of men out there who are fiercely offended by this statement! I mean really…. does wearing the pants really represent masculinity?

I present to you proof that Pants ≠ Manliness

—–

Batman wears no pants… he wears tights

You can’t mess with the Bat! He’ll use his detective skills to find you, use his utility belt to pull some fancy tricks on you, then give you a Batarang straight to your face! Oh, and who else drives a cooler car than the Batmobile?!?! See, just tights, no pants, but totally an Man’s MAN!

——-

BraveHeart wears no pants… he wears a skirt kilt

Not only does Braveheart fight for freedom, but he’s definitely an advocate of freeballin! Ain’t no one messin’ with this plad wearing diva! They can take our pants, but they can never take our freedom to commando!

——

Chuck Norris wears no pants… pants cannot withstand his roundhouse kick

The legend himself has yet to find a pair of pants that can contain his nuclear powered roundhouse kick. It is said that only one pair of pants has been able to survive a Chuck Norris Roundhouse kick and live to tell the tale. That pair of pants is now displayed in the same museum as Superman’s strand of hair (as seen in Superman IV – The Quest for Peace) (oh and yeah, Superman wears no pants neither…. he’s in tights too!)

——

Either way, it’s a cool campaign from Dockers. There was even a commercial that aired during the SuperBowl.

“Dockers I wear no Pants SuperBowl ad”

Below are some pics from the Dockers event at the Manila Yacht Club. Get yourself a pair of Dockers in case you’re not into the Batman Tights, Braveheart Kilts or Chuck Norris Shorts.

Forever Young SkateBoarding Video & Lyrics

Wednesday, January 27, 2010 / Vince Golangco

My past couple of posts about staying young a LIVING got me thinking of this song, Forever Young.

Gotta love the old school skating video too!

Here’s the lyrics to it.

–

FOREVER YOUNG

Let’s dance in style let’s dance for a while,
Heaven can wait we’re only watching the skies,
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst,
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die on let us live forever,
Don’t have the power but we never say never,
Sitting in the sandpit life is a short trip,
Music’s for the sad man

Can you imagine when this race is run,
Turning up our faces into the sun,
Praising our leaders getting in tune,
Music’s played by the mad man

Forever young, I want to be forever young,
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever forever,
Forever young, I want to be forever young,
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever

Some are like water Some are like the heat,
Some are melodies Some are the beat,
Sooner or later they’ll all be gone,
Why don’t they stay on?
It’s hard to get without a cause,
I don’t want to perish like a fading voice,
Youth is like diamonds in the sun,
And diamonds are forever,
So many adventures couldn’t happened today,
So many songs that we forgot to play,
So many dreams swimming out in the blue,
Let them come true
Forever young I want to be forever young,
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever
Forever young, I want to be forever young,
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever
Forever young, I want to be forever young,
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever…

Real Leaf Paparazzi

Monday, January 18, 2010 / Vince Golangco

I woke up, a bit dazed and confused. I think I must have been dehydrated or something, but I was totally out of it. I reach for something to drink, only to be disappointed by an empty water bottle. So instead I head downstairs to grab something refreshing. To my surprise, this is what I saw…

I’m blue-da-bun-di-da-da-a-da-bun-di-da-di... as the song quickly played in my head. Though more urgently, I had to figure out what was going on. I must have been hit hard while I was controlling my avatar and hanging out with the Na’Vi people, or perhaps I got teleported back to the 80’s and ended up with the Smurfs.

“Where the Smurf am I!” I thought to myself.

Still dehydrated and frazzled from my awakening, I tried to look around for clues. Only problem was that my eyes kept focusing on one thing, a cute girl right in the middle of this smurfing twilight zone! I’m not sure if it was her long brown hair, her glistening eyes or her sultry lips that caught my attention, but there was something very different about her. Or maybe it was just the Real Leaf Green Tea she was drinking that had me drooling. Either way, I knew I had to approach her.

I start making my way through the midget Na’Vi people, or the giant Smurfs (depending on how you want to look at it) to talk with the girl. MMMMmmmm, that drink she had looked good. I wonder if she was drinking this green drink to protect her from some blue disease that those around her were carrying, or maybe it was a super drink that made her invisible to the man-eating blue monsters. So many questions! I finally get close enough to her and as I reach for the girl with the Real Leaf Green Tea…

*SMACK*!!!!

I get hit from behind my head by what I can only describe as a very heavy hand.

“What the hell you doing here! I told you I was busy with my photoshoot today!” said my sister. Apparently, I forgot that my sister needed the house for some photography session. Must’ve been my dehydrated mind and body that kept me from functioning well; perhaps I should do a better job at replenishing my body’s needs. Though it didn’t matter anymore, all I wanted to do now was talk to the girl drinking the Real Leaf Green Tea. I turn around to talk to her but…

she was gone…

I look around and nothing. I search some more, and still, no smurfing sign of the girl with the Real Leaf Green Tea.

So I retreat to my room, beaten, but not broken. I open up my own bottle of Honey Lychee flavored green tea and drift away into a dream. Hoping to one day, again, find the girl with the Real Leaf Green Tea.

Life in the Fast Lane

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 / Vince Golangco

Finally got to ride my skateboards again! It’s a great release for me that calms me down and allows me to have fun. We each have our own refuges, our own little worlds that make us feel alive and safe. For me, it has always been surfing and skateboarding. The funny thing is that I love it so much, that I actually enjoy it even more when I get to share it with friends. I have three surfboards and two skateboards. I get extra ones so I can take friends out… lol. Yes, I’m a big geek like that.

Anyway, this Motivated Monkey took out a pretty Flair Candy for my first skate session in the Philippines. Cool pics ensued…..

P.S. – Yes…. I have very EMO titles for the pics…. lol

P.P.S. I definitely recommend doing this When In Manila… *wink

The Gift that Lasts Forever

Tuesday, October 27, 2009 / Vince Golangco

I’m such a book whore! I just spent over $150 on books this week. I love everything about books and bookstores, the exuberance of creativity, the intellect and the passion within the pages of the binded papers. I love it so much… that it’s actually my favorite gift for people I truly care about.

Yes, I know that not a lot of people appreciate books as a gift. It’s like getting a sweater or bunny flip-flops when you’re six-years-old, when all you wanted was that new Transformer toy. So I’m not really sure how “cool” it is to give books. Have I turned into that old, geeky, boring uncle who gives the lamest gifts?

Well, hear me out for a second… see with almost any other gift you may give, they may break, rot, get old, or die… but with books, the knowledge you will gain from them will last FOREVER and EVER! It’s something that will live with you for the rest of your life, if you actually read it! Furthermore, it may help you out in so many ways by teaching you so many things… and all that other geeky stuff…

So yes, I’m a book whore… expect books for your birthday…. if I really like you…. =)

Oh oh oh…. here’s some of the books I bought:

The New Community Rules: Marketing on the Social Web – by Tamar Weinberg

The Big Idea: How to Make Your Entrepreneurial Dreams Come True, From the Aha Moment to Your First Million – by Donny Deutsch and Catherine Whitney

Sperm Wars: Infidelity, Sexual Conflict, and Other Bedroom Battles – by Robin Baker

Viral Loop: From Facebook to Twitter, How Today’s Smartest Businesses Grow Themselves – by Adam L. Penenberg

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference – by Malcolm Gladwell (re-reading this)

Lurzer’s International Archive Special 25 Years Issue: Ads, TV and Posters Worldwide – by Walter Lurzer

The Automatic Millionaire: A Powerful One-Step Plan to Live and Finish Rich – by David Bach

Hope I get to read all of these soon!!!
