The kid triathlete

09.19.2011 · Posted in Interesting!

My friend’s kid is into sports. She is a triathlete and competes nationally. She brings home a lot of sports trophies and my friend, being the proud mom that she is, displays it all in their living room. Of course, for everyone to see ;)

Well, who wouldn’t be proud of a kid who struggles with her academics but does her best to excel in everything she tackles head on? I am not even her godmother but I also feel proud of her! Who wouldn’t be?

The Little Guy

09.17.2011 · Posted in Interesting!

While I was checking the can am commander accessories with my brother, I suddenly missed watching Little People, Big World. It’s a reality show I like watching because it helped me realized just how important it is to live a normal life, no matter what condition you are in, no matter if you are special in one way or another.

The Little Guy in that show functions like an ordinary person without the disabilities brought about by his dwarfism. I am just inspired to see them in action, trying to survive each day, not getting drawn back by their situation in life.

Overkill coverage

09.14.2011 · Posted in TV Time

ABS-CBN has this tendency to do an overkill when it comes to covering an event. Like the recently concluded 2011 Miss Universe pageant. I understand that they bought exclusive rights to air the show and, most likely, they spent a lot for it. They sent Dyan Castillejo to follow the country’s representative Shamcey Supsup so they really have a lot of footage ready to be shown in their news programs.

But it just reeks of overkill when all you see in one show after another and even in their commercial spots is the face of Shamcey Supsup. The pageant already ended. The lady placed 3rd. I do think it’s about time they let her rest a bit so people won’t get tired of seeing her everywhere!

15-year-old Kendall on birth control!

09.01.2011 · Posted in TV Time

Wow! I just read this UsMagazine.com article that Bruce Jenner freaked out when he learned that his 15-year-old daughter Kendall with the Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner is already on birth control!

It was most likely shown in an episode of their reality TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. There was a clip accompanying the article showing Bruce confronting Kris about Kendall’s prescription. He asked why he was getting Kendall birth control pills from the pharmacy. Kris told her husband that the birth control pills will help Kendall with the severe menstrual cramps that she experiences during her period. It doesn’t mean that Kendall was sexually active already. But, of course, being a father didn’t stop Bruce from worrying about his daughter growing up so fast!

It’s actually not unheard of, teens using birth control pills to regulate their menstrual period. It is also normal for parents to worry when they hear that their teenage kid is already on the pills.

Ask for receipts

08.31.2011 · Posted in Interesting!

Some local stores aren’t issuing receipts. I noticed that when I went shopping last week. Since the law states that stores need to issue official or tape receipts to their customers, I took it upon myself to inform them of this. Kindly, I must add. I told one local store owner to get a receipt printer. It will be less costly for him to get one instead of going on without it. If the tax bureau tracks them down, it will cost them a lot!

I will be going back this weekend and I’ll see if they listened to my advice. If not, then it’s their risk.

Gosselin sextuplets all grown up!

Gosselins

I’ve seen this article in omg! in Yahoo! and I was surprised to see the Gosselin sextuplets all grown up! I’ve been watching Jon & Kate Plus 8 back then and I forgot just how little the kids were. I think the show started when they were 3 years old, right? And now they are 7! The sextuplets are Aaden, Alexis Joel, Hannah, Leah, and Collin.

The photo above shows the sextuplets with their mom Kate Gosselin getting some Italian ice cream near their Pennsylvania home in April. The twins Cara and Mady are 10 years old this year.

Wheels looking good

08.30.2011 · Posted in Interesting!

If there’s one thing that Diego is known for, it is his love for his wheels. He just purchased blaque diamond wheels to show off his car once more when he goes to visit his friends. He just loves showing it off!

Well, I do think Diego has a right to show off his wheels. He works hard five days a week so whatever he spends for his car comes from his own pocket. And he isn’t bothering anybody with his passion for his car.

Getting married in style

08.30.2011 · Posted in Interesting!

I think we all heard of Kim Kardashian’s big wedding bash that happened a couple of days ago. It was the talk of the town, even as far away as the Asian countries. Kim is a big reality TV star and whether we like it or not, she has made a name for herself and her family and they’re here to stay.

Anyway, have you seen her wearing her wedding dress? When I saw it, I immediately felt the need to read diet pill reviews and find one that can help me get into that shape! It will take a long time for me to achieve it but, hey, if there’s a will, there’s a way, right?
