Laguna Life: Wednesdays

~ Dolphy was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the president who wore yellow. Remember that he campaigned for the one wearing orange?

~ An analyst said that "only one lucky punch can beat Pacquiao."

~ The news is all about Manny Pacquiao and his chartered plane; Mommy Dionisia's flight yadda, yadda, yadda. But did you know that Marie Antonette San Diego, a Filipina, just won the gold at the Asian Primary School Sports Olympiad?

~ The jackpot on 6/55 proved to be evasive. They predict that the pot will rise up to Php 375 M by tonight. Now, we're competing with the senators, saying that if they won, they will give a portion to charitable institutions. Sigh.

~ Yesterday was the Feast of the dedication of the church, or feast of the church. Trivia: the church of Pila, Laguna is already 200 years old and is one of the oldest and most beautiful churches here in our country.

~ There are still four typhoons expected before the typhoon season ends. So, let us remain to be vigilant. Meanwhile, the Laguna PNP came up with an improvised boat made up of scrap woods, metals, plastic, etc., to aid our town, Sta. Cruz, Laguna in times of flood. I want to see this boat.

~ The red tide is up. So, be careful when buying seafoods.

~ I heard there is a lantern-making contest here in Sta. Cruz, Laguna. The contest will be between barangays.

~ Michael Jackson has a new single. Do you believe it's him singing? Even her sister La Toya Jackson questions its authenticity.

~ You have to get out early and place your bets. The pot today on super lotto's 6/55 could go as high as Php302 million and you can be the winner - or share it with someone else. Whatever... winning is still winning!

~ There were 19 accidents noted from Nov 1 to Nov 2. How many of these accidents involved motorcycles? I think I can name five.

~ There is a plan to light up the main streets of Sta. Cruz, Laguna using solar-powered cells.

~ Tom Cruise is in Dubai shooting another "Mission Impossible." I am sure there will be a lot of stunts that will be shot at the Burj ~~Dubai~~ Khalifa.

~ The Philippine Rugby team did not make it to the Borneo 7s Finals held in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. Yes, there is a Philippine Rugby Team. They are called the Philippine Volcanoes. Jessica Zafra was there with the guys and covered everything in her blog.

~ One of the president's staff is now on fire because of her tweets in Vietnam and this, obviously, affected the purpose of the trip, which is to build a harmonious relationship with the country. The funny thing is, I think I read that the wine about the 'wine tweet' is not from Vietnam, but from Chile. Now, talk about hitting two birds with one stone. Be careful what you tweet!

~ Still on tweeting, the president did not want to disclose his visit to his mom and dad. But, the whole world found out when Kris tweeted about it.

~ There is a controversial video supposedly taken way back 1928 that shows a granny talking to someone on what looks like a mobile phone. Do you believe this?

~ Hey, hey, Hayden. Share the seat with Manny because he is coming up with his MP7! I wonder which of these two smells better.... the perfume, I mean.
