Chito Miranda and Neri Naig Memes

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Andito na si Chito... si Chito Miranda, magbabagsakan dito in 5 4 3 2 1!

The video going viral is technically not a scandal. But it is a sex video. They're both single and in love. This is nothing but normal in our era. So, just support them and not make this somethin big. I hope the videos going viral and spread around like wildfire all get banned soon. I feel so sad for their parents and relatives who are affected by this issue.

May bago ba dito? Ang bago lang eh yung mga karakter sa video na ito. Pero yung mga ginawa nila bago ba?? Nagawa ninyo na rin sigurado lahat yan, baka mas matindi pa nga. Intimate moment nila tong dalawa na nanakaw. at dahil pinapanood natin ay magnanakaw na rin tayo. Hindi naman sila nag-share nito eh kundi yung magnanakaw na nagnakaw na nga ng gamit ninakaw pa pati magandang reputasyon ni Chito. OK na si Neri dahil open secret naman sa showbiz ang pagiging mistress niya sa mayayaman kaya siya yumaman pero kahit pa kahit wag na si Neri. Si Chito na lang. Itigil na ninyo ito kasi dahil hindi naman ito makakatulong sa pamumuhay ninyo magkakasala pa kayo.

Kickstart Ventures’ Lone Brick-And-Mortar Startup Trains Rural Youth For Gainful Employment

Wazzup Pilipinas!

BagoSphere is a vocational training company. But unlike typical training centers which can be found in major urban areas, this brainchild of three young philanthropists from Singapore focuses on giving rural youth quick access to gainful employment.

Located in Bago City, a second class city in the province of Negros Occidental, BagoSphere provides a unique combination of communications, critical thinking and life skills training that allows rural youth to become highly-desired employees of the call center and business process outsourcing (BPO) industries in just two months.

The Philippines is currently the largest call center location in the world, overtaking India in 2010. By 2016, some 800,000 direct BPO jobs are also expected to be created in the country.

With a success rate of over 90%, BagoSphere’s program enables rural youth to experience a seamless transition from training to working in a multi-national company.

Love or lust dominates both women and men in bed.Women need to be dominated. The job of the man in the relationship is first to break her and then tame her; and then he should dominate her. Shakespeare? Is this "Taming of the Shrew"? This statement was obviously seized from that play. How primitive?

Women generally want to be controlled. It is very seldom that women 'control' the guy in a relationship--unless the guy is a pussy and not a real man? I may sound sexist but it is what it is. In a relationship, men must be men and women must be women.

However, there are guys who like to be dominated by women. And there are guys who wants to be dominated by many girls...Try watching a documentary about dominatrix.. You'll see men who are very dominant in their life but likes being dominated when it comes to sex. I don't think there is a dude out there who doesn't want to just lay back and be ravished like crazy? Seeing a woman break up a sweat while she's getting busy on top is one of the sexiest things ever. Also, it hurts the back to constantly be the one moving. Either that or I'm just getting old. Honestly, I feel sorry for any man who has never been dominated by a woman in bed, but that's just me? It's just that some men have yet to experience the pleasures of being tied with a silk scarf and blindfolded.

Cucina Ni Bunso : Rushing Towards Classic Filipino Dishes with a Twist

Wazzup Pilipinas!

You know that you are extremely busy when you keep on missing your appointments one after another because you fail to add them to your calendar of activities. Why? Because it's all filled up with so many invites to events, meetings, exhibits, launches, etc, that they couldn't find a place in my calendar anymore.

When you see your ice cream has turned into a milkshake, you have to worry already because you are missing out on delicious food. Who doesn't like ice cream here? I am surprised at myself I didn't finish up my sweet dessert and to sadly witness it melted already.

What I normally do is I type in codes or abbreviations of my appointments but sometimes I miss its meanings when I'm deep in a multitude of tasks.

But when I received an SMS or text message reminding me of a food review that very same day, I had to drop what I was doing because I wouldn't want to miss out on dining at this new restaurant called Cucina Ni Bunso. However, I will be extremely late because I received the text message 15 minutes after the supposed start time. Whoah!

Whenever I am out, first thing in my mind is food. Perfect for this rainy season is hot, thin and crispy pizza from Greenwich. It's the Social Media Launch of the official website for the 2nd laguna Blogging Summit and perfect for this launch is a place at Philfirst Building along Ayala avenue at Makati. The organizers came with the support of the Philippine Red Cross and Zoomanity Group under Robert Laurel Yupangco, the event went well especially with the yummy and delicious smell of food from Greenwich Pizza.

Personnel from Greenwich Pizza were very accommodating, they asked us first our choice for drinks while they were preparing the conference room. For days actually, I am craving for their thin crust pizza, their PR sent the pictures through email and yes, I am tapped right away.

Today’s pizza lovers have become more discriminating in their choices. Their preferences have leveled up to include not just the right topping but the crust as well. While some prefer to munch on thick crust, others opt for the crispier thin crust for a more flavorful feast.

About 700 youth leaders from 45 countries will be in Manila from 1-7 August 2013 for the University Scholars Leadership Symposium, a leadership program geared towards social change. The event is organized by the Humanitarian Affairs United Kingdom, a London-based social enterprise that initiates and supports humanitarian relief efforts and development programs in poor and disaster-prone countries.

The opening ceremony will be held on 2 August 2013 at the Philippine International Convention Center, to be graced by Senator Bam Aquino, a social entrepreneur himself and a 2010 Ten Outstanding Men of the Philippines (TOYM) awardee.

The Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) have partnered to bring the international symposium to the country. “We are honored to be co-hosting this important gathering of young leaders whose common aspiration is to bring about change and make the world a better place. We laud the efforts of the organizers, which all educational institutions worldwide must emulate in influencing the future stewards and leaders of our nations,” DOT Secretary Ramon R. Jimenez, Jr. said.

"Jonathan Yabut, you are hired. Congratulations," were the words of business mogul Tony Fernandes at the last episode of the Apprentice Asia.

Congratulations to Jonathan Allen Yabut for winning The Apprentice Asia!

Jonathan, a 27 year old senior product manager of a pharmaceutical company in the Philippines, is the first winner of the first season of business reality show, The Apprentice Asia.

He was chosen by AirAsia's Tony Fernandes as his apprentice over Singaporean lawyer Andrea Loh Ern-Yu, as seen in the the final episode of "The Apprentice Asia" aired on AXN last Wednesday night.

Food and beverage consultant Celina Le Neindre was the other Filipino finalist who wasn't as lucky as Jonathan but I'm pretty sure she has also made a lot of influential people in and out of the business world take notice of her.

Wow...there's a video going viral around the Internet and social media via YouTube about this elevator attendant from SM Olongapo giving more reasons why "It's more fun in the Philippines." In other places, you only hear "pre-recorded" informations relayed to the general public, right, but here in the Philippines it's more humane interaction.

Congratulations to this innovative lady that's a great stress reliever during your slight pause inside the elevator after an afternoon of malling around. What she's doing is an extra effort on her part. We should be grateful for these people who went an extra step to do their job.

I like the girl...interesting voice and its not easy to be an elevator girl but she looks like she loves her work very much. There are some slips with her vowel enunciation but she has a big potential in the call center industry. I'm your fan already! I can see that she loves her job. What's extra-ordinary about her is that she manages to make eye contact with the people in the lift. Go girl! You make me want to Sing "Here at SM We got it All for You". Keep up the good work!
