Burton
I love traveling! Recently I discovered the toughest travel bag you will ever find is from those who do the toughest sport there is. It's Burton. Yes, the snowboard maker has first-hand experiences of what the word tough really means. What's even more surprising is the coolest guys behind the brand is also producing the coolest apparels such as the Burton Jacket collection. So check it out!

Fake Journalism
I was watching a documentary about an old lady who has a genetic disease that has been affecting her physical appearance. The documentary was covered by a female "journalist" of the Philippine TV, Channel 7. I'm sorry but after all those years of doing her job, I find her to too amateur and unnatural.
The first thing I noticed is her lack of respect with the old lady. The reporter interrupts her statements without even a hint of hesitation. Aside from her disrespect, its a sign of her number one priority: to satisfy her curiosity and/or to create the kind of emotion she wants the old lady to show. Newly grad journalists understandably have the itch to find answers to their questions. Some of them may also capitalize on the "ideal scene" for more attention. However an experienced journalist, must aim to expose the truth; true emotions, true thoughts and not merely directed and lead reactions. Experienced journalists know the value of keen observation sans the ego and not act like kids who simply couldn't wait to have their answers.
Another thing that I just couldn't help but react with is when she said that the son was infected (nahawa). Huh?! Infected??? It was a genetic disease!!! The son MANIFESTED the genetic disease and was NOT INFECTED!!!
The worst part of that documentary is how she decided to dress-up and play Tito Boy. After a very emotional story told by the old lady about the genetic disease that has been terribly affecting her physical appearance, the reported break her silence in a joyous smile and said "What if I gave you a mirror and you look at yourself, what would you say?" I was astounded. What was she thinking? Was she even?
In my personal opinion, the reporter's style is very insensitive, juvenile and trying to manipulate a scenario to create the emotion she wants instead of exposing real ones.

What A Hot Night of Love: Bob Sinclar Live in Manila
Love Generation
download for only $0.99!!!!Everybody's free... to feel good. Guess what. Everyone felt great in this party. Bob Sinclar was rockin' the house and sprinkling the love in The World Trade Center, Manila, Jan 15, 2011. I must admit, I was starstruck with the guy a few steps in my face! "Oh my golly wow. So this is the guy." He's hot then and he's even hotter now. Bob and his mix exudes hot and sexy confidence filling the house with energy and excitement. I have never been attracted with a guy because of his ego until this party. There's something about Bob Sinclar's egoistic package that I find really really hot. Maybe because he's Bob Sinclar, one of the most famous DJs in the world? Yes he absolutely is, but this is not where the "love" is coming from. He's whole package (figuratively speaking, thank you very much) exonerates the boastful elements of his presence in a hotness that is very hard to put words on and very hard to resist. His shirt, that has his picture on, the videos playing at the background that has his picture on, his confident gestures that says as if he knows exactly what's going on, what the people around him is thinking and even, what's gonna happen. He moves and reacts without even a hint of self-doubt or confusion. Am I growing weird or crazy? I hope not. In my opinion, here's a person who has been around long enough with the crowd of his forte to knows every inch of its anatomy. I shouldn't wonder anymore how brilliant he is in transforming over-confidence into an electrifying, irresistible and amazingly puzzling hotness. I hot you Bob Sinclar!!!
