National Drive-Thru Day

July 24. After WWII, California sunshine and a love affair with automobiles spurred the growth of roadside businesses in the Golden State catering specifically to motorists. As America’s first major drive-thru hamburger chain, Jack in the Box^® restaurants (founded in 1951) helped pave the way for a delicious new dining experience.

Miles for Smiles: Will you Run for a Child to Smile?

Monday, July 19, 2010 / Vince Golangco

Hey guys! So theres this Miles for Smiles runners event where you can help support children who desperately need your help!

Well first of all, you can run individually for just P450 and the proceeds go to charities.

On the other hand, if you put together a team of 10, and each invest P1,500 to run…. you’ll actually be paying for one operation for a child with Cleft! Which would in turn definitely bring out a better smile from that child!

Yes, you automatically thought it’s a bit pricey…. but honestly, you can’t put a price tag on a kid’s smile.

Long story, I can’t run because of my scoliosis, but my sister is! And she already has 9 people in her team including Hannah of FlairCandy.com and other random mixes of people. Can you be that one more person to fill this team and help one more child smile? Please contact me ASAP if you can so I can forward your info to my sister.

The Miles for Smiles Run will be on August 22, 5am at the Fort Bonifacio High Street. We need to register ASAP so please let me know if you can run!

Mr. Know it All (useless info of the day)

Men can lactate too

It’s exceptionally rare, but since men possess mammary glands just like women do, they have the capacity to produce milk. When male lactation happens, it’s usually because of hormonal treatments for diseases like cancer.

Fact or Fiction

If a bullet is fired through the fuselage of a plane at altitude, it can cause explosive decompression and tear the plane apart…

FICTION

Despite what you may have seen in the movies, a bullet hole is too small to cause a commercial airliner to pop like a balloon. Even a hole the size of a window would not cause the plane to rip apart in midair. While there have been unfortunate instances of decompression where passengers were sucked out of a faulty door or window that blew out during a flight, the plane maintained its integrity and landed safely.

First Perfect Score in Olympic History

July 18, 1976. At the Montreal Olympics, Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci scored the first “10” in Olympic history with her flawless performance of the compulsory exercise on the uneven bars. The scoreboard displayed a “1.00” because it couldn’t go up to “10.” Comaneci had seven total perfect scores and won five medals, including the gold for all-around performance. Four months previous to the Olympics, Comaneci had earned the first perfect score in international gymnastics competition history.

National Ice Cream Day

Inception Ending is a Work of Art

Sunday, July 18, 2010 / Vince Golangco

–

WARNING WARNING!!!! SPOILERS ALERT

——————

In the Sistine Chapel, there’s an image painted by Michelangelo of god who’s about to give the gift of life to man. In this epic work of art, the most breathtaking part of it all is that there are a few inches of separation between the hand of god and that of man / Adam. That little space of eternity between their fingers touching makes the entire painting the work of art that it is because of how much emotion is packed into that little bit of ambiguity.

That’s sort of how I felt with the ending of the new box office hit, Inception.

The Inception ending is really ambiguous and many movie goers were complaining about director Christopher Nolan (of the Dark Knight) saying that he didn’t know how to end his own movie.

On the contrary, I believe he knew exactly what he was doing.

In the movie Inception, we’re lost with the ending and have no clue whether or not Leonardo DiCaprio’s character indeed made it out of the dream world and whether or not he is back in the real world. There’s a second or so that separates the truth to this story.

On the other hand, it’s that split second that really defines life as it is. I mean, aren’t we walking around everyday not really really knowing what’s going to happen next. Aren’t we all just a bit lost in our dreams as well? Perhaps I can even go as far to say that the people who do blend their dreams with the real world are the ones who get to really synergize both world and end up creating a reality that reaches their dreams?

Ok, that might have been too confusing.

In short… I liked the Inception ending.

“The greater danger for most of us, is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it” ~ Michelangelo

Mr. Know it All (useless info of the day)

Breasts are the first thing men notice in a woman

No news here. Research conducted at the Victoria University of Wellington showed that breasts are often the first thing men look at, and for a longer time than other body parts. Nothing to be ashamed since another study said that staring at women’s breasts for just minutes a day can improve a man’s health and add four to five years to his life.

Fact or Fiction

Cell phones are banned on planes because they might interfere with navigation instruments.

FICTION

Airplanes are specially insulated against foreign radio signals, and their communication and navigation instruments operate on different frequencies from cell phones. The Federal Communications Commission is actually the agency responsible for the ban, since the signals could potentially block telecommunication systems on the ground.

If someone makes a phone call from a plane, the signal would bounce across multiple cell towers at once, which could prevent other calls from going through. Yet some airlines in Europe, the Middle East and Asia have started allowing cell phone usage on flights.

An open letter to “Mr/Ms. I-don’t-have-a-Facebook-account” person

Tuesday, July 13, 2010 / Vince Golangco

It’s come to this. The world as we know it is now but a tiny piece of the bigger picture. This new reality I speak of is the place most of us refer to as the “Facebook” universe.

See, to most of the world, you don’t really exist unless you have a Facebook account. I realized this recently as I, in a very horrifying event, met someone without a Facebook profile. It was such a frightening experience that really came out of nowhere! One second I’m talking to this cute girl, next thing you know, she drops a bomb on me!

“I don’t have a Facebook account,” she casually squealed as if flying-vampire-zombie-pigs were no more than a common household pet.

Not having a Facebook profile means that you have no pictures I can rummage through. It means you don’t have a status to update me with your everyday mundane events. It means that you don’t have a wall I can write on every time I want to bother you with my important Farmville needs. Most of all, it means that I can’t add you as one of my “friends.”

This, of course, is a big problem. How are we supposed to officially fortify our friendship into the pages of history without that little button you click to properly “accept” and acknowledge our friendship? It’s absolutely capricious to assume that we are indeed friends, or even mere acquaintances, without as much as a “poke” or a photo tag of some useless item you’re selling every other week.

Let’s face it; you don’t exist if you’re not on Facebook!

There’s no way to prove that you actually went skydiving if I don’t see any pictures. You don’t really have a boyfriend / girlfriend unless you change your relationship status and make it “Facebook official.” I’ll also have no clue when your birthday is or if you were ever really born unless Facebook tells me that indeed, today is your birthday and I need to pay $1.00 to get you some silly little “gift” to post on your wall.

How do you even expect us to stay in touch? MySpace? You’re so 2000-and-late.

There’s just no way to prove that you’re indeed a real person without you having a Facebook account.

So I’m sorry to say, but I can’t trust anyone who’s not on Facebook! Not having a Facebook account put you on the same lowly level as people who still use their Hotmail email addresses. For heaven’s sake, have some dignity!

So “Miss I-don’t-have-a-Facebook-account” person, do us all a big favor and at least try live in the same century as us.

Facebook is here and it’s here to stay. You’re either part of the hundreds of millions who are on it or you’ll be left out as one of the few slow adapters. Haven’t we learned from Darwin that you need to adapt to survive?

It’s like the saying: “If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, did it really fall?” Well, if a person doesn’t have a Facebook account, are they really a real person?

And that was the Gospel according to the Book of Face.

Ready, Set, Travel: Cebu Pacific’s Backpacker Challenge Adventure Contest

Monday, July 5, 2010 / Vince Golangco

Ready, set, travel: Cebu Pacific’s backpacker adventure contest

With just P12,000, a backpack and a chunk of resourcefulness, just how far can a traveler go in the Philippines? To answer the question, Cebu Pacific (CEB), the country’s largest airline, will pit local travel experts against each other in a five-day, four-city journey across the Philippines. Dubbed the Cebu Pacific Backpacker Challenge, the competition also aims to show that a fun exploration of the beautiful Philippine islands can be done without going over one’s allotted budget.

The contest will test the participants’ sense of adventure as they visit various pre-selected locales—Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Davao and Iloilo. Their journey will begin and end in Manila for the awarding of the winning team.

There will be five teams of two travel experts each. They will form Team Sanuk, Team ROX, Team Columbia, Team High Sierra and Team Eagle Creek, named after participating Primer Group brands synonymous with fun, adventure and travel. These travel experts will go from place to place enjoying as many activities and having as many experiences as their budgets will allow. They can savor local cuisine, visit tourist attractions, try local sports and enjoy whatever else the locale offers.

Each team’s budget also covers accommodation, transportation and meal expenses, which means that making such arrangements with family or friends in the chosen areas is not allowed.

To document their experiences during the trip, the contestants will also use Canon DSLR and Powershot and Ixus cameras with which they will shoot video diaries. They will also be required to report their actual expenses.

At the end of the challenge, the team with the most activities while spending the least will be declared winner. As their prize, each member of the winning team will receive two round-trip CEB tickets to Kota Kinabalu (exclusive of Philippine Travel Tax), and 3N/4D hotel accommodations and transfers in Kota Kinabalu courtesy of the Sabah Tourism Board.

Canon Philippines will also give away photography books and four (4) A490 Canon cameras to the two winning teams with the best DSLR and Point and Shoot photos, covering the theme, “You only live one life. Seize it with Canon.”

“This competition is all about showing Pinoy travelers that, yes, a little amount of money, creativity and planning can go a long way,” shares Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific vice president for marketing and distribution. “By making the right travel choices, one can enjoy rich experiences and make the most out of any trip, especially here in the Philippines.”

Cebu Pacific has the most extensive network in the Philippines as it flies to 33 domestic destinations in 51 domestic routes. For more information, call (02) 7020-888 or (032) 230-8888 or visit www.cebupacificair.com .

World’s biggest boob job are a size 38KKK

In early 2009, Sheyla Hershey of Brazil was awarded the Guinness World Record for having the largest set of breasts. After nine surgeries and more than a gallon of silicone, her breasts are a size 38KKK.–

Fact or Fiction

You get drunk faster in the air than on the ground.

FICTION

According to an old saying, one in the air is like three on the ground. That adage misses the mark though, because your blood alcohol level doesn’t actually change at a higher altitude as some think. With less oxygen reaching the brain because of the high altitude and the pressurized cabin, it might cause you to feel more intoxicated, but that’s about it.

Nevertheless, it probably isn’t a good idea to get hammered on a plane, if only out of courtesy to your neighbors.

Fact or Fiction

All cars run better with premium gasoline.

FICTION

A higher octane rating does not necessarily equate to better performance. The owner’s manual will tell you what type of gasoline is recommended for your car, and most cars are designed to run on regular gasoline. Unless you drive a high-performance car that requires a higher-octane gasoline to prevent engine knocking, the only real difference you’ll notice from upgrading to a high-octane premium gas is how much more money you are spending at the pump.

Fact or Fiction

Some red food colorings are made from ground-up beetles.

FACT

Many food items, including fruit juices, candies and flavored gelatin contain cochineal, carmine or carminic acid to give them a deep red color. These pigments are derived from the shells of the female Dactylopius coccus beetle, which is found in South and Central America. The dye has been used for centuries and dates back to the Aztecs. It is safer than most synthetic red dyes, apart from the rare allergic reaction.

Happy Birthday To YOU!!!

June 27, 1859. The melody of probably the most often sung song in the world, “Happy Birthday to You,” was composed by Mildred J. Hill, a schoolteacher born at Louisville, KY, on this date. Her younger sister, Patty Smith Hill, was the author of the lyrics, which were first published in 1893 as “Good Morning to All,” a classroom greeting published in the book Song Stories for the Sunday School. The lyrics were amended in 1924 to include a stanza beginning “Happy Birthday to You.” Now it is sung somewhere in the world every minute of the day. Although the authors are believed to have earned very little from the song, reportedly it later generated about $1 million a year for its copyright owner. The song is expected to enter public domain upon expiration of copyright in 2010. Mildred Hill died at Chicago, IL, June 5, 1916, without knowing that her melody would become the world’s most popular song. See also: “Hill, Patty Smith: Birth Anniversary” (Mar 27).

Fact or Fiction

If you cut a worm in half, each half will grow back into a complete worm.

FICTION

If you cut a worm in half, you will most likely end up with two halves of a dead worm. However, some species of worms can re-grow a new tail if it is cut off (or more likely, eaten by a bird). While it is possible that the head half of the worm may grow a new tail, the tail half will not grow a new head — so you’re unlikely to end up with more worms than you started with.

“Edumacate Me!”

It’s my segment every Sunday where my listeners and I try to learn something new from the cool guests that come on my show. I guess you can say we’re trying to get an “edumacation!”

This week’s guest is Ms. Aileen Santos talking about:

The Top 5 Hidden Beliefs That Could Be Making YOUR Love Life Miserable

Aileen Santos is a certified Relationship Coach with a Master’s Degree in Counseling, and she helps single men and women overcome the obstacles that are keeping them from living the relationships of their dreams.

She also regularly conducts relationship workshops in their coaching & counseling clinic in Alabang, and is the author of the ebook called “Seduction Secrets That Really Work! (A Novel).”

It’s a story-slash-self-help-book rolled into one, about two shy singles who discover the “last known copy of a top secret book called Seduction Secrets That Really Work” on ebay.ph. Using the book’s techniques they transform themselves into opposite sex magnets, get into all sorts of dating misadventures…

…and discover that finding real love was a LOT more complicated than they thought.

My Websites:

For updates about my relationship coaching programs: www.AileenSantos.com

To get a free chapter of the Seduction Secrets That Really Work ebook during its
July 4 launch, you have to become a fan now at:www.Facebook.com/SeductionSecrets

Real briefly, the top 5 hidden beliefs that could be making your love life miserable include (in my own words):

5. Needing someone else to “complete you” –

You should complete yourself and know yourself fully before going into a relationship

4. Thinking that love “naturally happens” –

People tend to forget that there’s a lot of hard work involved. A relationship includes hard work! Don’t forget that.

3. Thinking that men and women are equal in relationships –

Not in this case. Men should be men and women should be women.

2. Believing in “Love at first sight”

It’s more like “lust” at first sight. Love takes time.

1. Looking for a “Soul Mate –

You should instead look for a “Soul Nurturing Mate”

Anyway, the full explanation and write up from the expert herself, Aileen Santos, will be out next week when Aileen updates her sites. Do add her up on Facebook.com/LoveAndLifeSkills

We will post updates of this soon… check her sites for info.

Fact or Fiction

Coca-Cola originally contained cocaine.

FACT

In fact, that’s how it got its name — from a blend of coca leaf and kola nut extracts used in the original 1885 formula. At the time, cocaine was a common ingredient in medicines, and Coca-Cola was developed as a medicinal elixir.

When cocaine was later discovered to be harmful and addictive, the company phased it out, leaving only trace amounts to justify the name. By 1929, the beverage was completely cocaine-free.

Jaws Film Release

With its tagline “Don’t go in the water” and its ominous cello music, the Steven Spielberg–directed thriller shocked audiences on this date. Adapted from a Peter Benchley bestseller, Jaws showed a great white shark preying on the beachgoers of a New England town. It won three Oscars—best editing, best sound and best original score (by John Williams)—and was a blockbuster success.

Moment of Zen

A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.

A dad is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt.

A dad is someone who
holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules,
shines with pride when you succeed,
and has faith in you even when you fail…

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!
