My Love Affair with Beauty Pageants...

"Mabuhay! My name is Deena Lee Go, 24 years of age, From the land of isaw (pig intestines) and balut (underdeveloped chicken egg) the Filipins!

I am a huge fan of Beauty pageants! And I mean huge! Like humongous! Not only I am a fan but I have developed this love affair with beauty pageants since birth hahahaha. Let me explain why I said LOVE AFFAIR. Di ba mga day, pag in love to the max kayo you do almost everything kahit na stupid??? Ganun di ako with pageants. Anjan na yung umabsent sa classes at sa work, injanin ang mga friends, hindi siputin ang job interview, fight with your brother or sister para hawak nyo ang remote ng tv during the pageant telecast, dumayo sa kabilang baranggay para mapanoond sa cable ang live telecast hindi yung delayed telecast sa local channel 9 at I'm sure kung ano ano pa ang pwede kong ilista dito! So in short - In LOVE talaga ako!

Today, I decided to write down some reasons why I am IN LOVE with Beauty Pageants.

1. Appreciation of Beauty
Mga day, small kid palang ako may good sight na ako ng beautiful at ng chaka doll! Ako ang numero uno critique ng mother nature ko when it comes to make up and dresses! It translated sa fascination ko with girls parading in their swimsuits and evening gowns. Don't get me wrong, I'm not switching teams here! I just like seeing beautiful girls do that - simple lang! It's human nature mga kabaro, hindi ba? We love beautiful things - clothes, shoes, make-up, perfume, jewelry, etc. Beauty goes beyond the limits of if not everything almost everything from gender, sexual orientation, race, color, etc.

2. Patriotism
Oh my dear! I may be living my life in the US right now but damn I love my country! That is the Philippines. We have so many things we can be proud of. A stand out is our NATURAL BEAUTY! Most specially that of our WOMEN! Triumphs in Beauty Pageants offer pride, celebration and unity in NATIONAL LEVEL. Then you start telling the whole world: "Maganda Kame! Kayo Hindi! Yun lang!"

3. Dream (could be a nightmare! hahaha)
Hay naku day, sino bang hindi nag dream ever na makasali sa beauty pageant be it - Ms. Barrangay, Ms. Kanto, Ms. Talipapa??? Lalo na siguro pag Ms Universe, Miss World, Miss International and many other major pageants! Aminin nyo, dumating yung time na solo nyo ang room nyo or yung bahay nyo at mega rampa kayo sa sala pretending to be a contestant sa beauty pageant with matching the beauty queen hand wave and plastic crown!!! Aminin nyo! hahahaha. Oh well, some of us find a bit of satisfaction seeing other people live our dreams. Aba! Wala naman masamang mangarap! Wag lang bangungot, di bah?

4. Sense of Wonder
How does it feel to be a beauty queen? What are the perks of being one? What's their beauty secret? What do they eat? At lahat na ng WHAT-WHEN-WHERE-HOW Questions. Right?

5. We are in it for the experience
"Pasok sigurado ang Filipins sa Top 10!", "Miss Photogenic sureness tayo this year!", "Ayan na tatawagin na si Ms Filipins!" "Ay, di pasok ang Filipins? Madaya! Luto ang laban!" And other comments and things we say as we watch the pageant. We share the experience, the emotions and the hopes of everyone. It's an experience - a good one for that matter!

And this is my LOVE AFFAIR with Beauty Pageants.

Hugs,

Morrise

Job Interviews: How to do well!

Salut Mon Ami!

I have mixed feelings for this coming weekend. Why? I am so looking forward for this weekend so I can do my long overdue apartment general cleaning. Hay naku mga day, New Year pa nung nag vacuum ako ng magic carpet ko! We are expecting a major snow storm this friday that will last till Saturday. So mega shovel ng snow sa harap ng apartment ang magiging drama ng beauty ko come sat or sunday.

Anyway, today I want to share some bits of advice on Job Interviews - on how to do well and on how to leave good impressions. Mga day, importante na sa interview pa lang eh karirin nyo na to the max! As in to the max!

O sya mga day, pencils and papers ready?

BEFORE INTERVIEW DAY!

1. Call (or e-mail) a day before your interview to confirm your schedule and attendance.
Kung nate-text nyo ng one month in advance ang friend nyo to remind them ng utang nya sa inyo eh mga day, pick up the phone and call the HR person to confirm your interview schedule and attendance. Mega raise ng hands and say present! This is viewed as courtesy. And sometimes dahil ang mga HR people ay may pagka-busy, they forget to inform people about re-scheduling ng interviews. So it works on your end na din to know kung tuloy ang interview nyo. Baka mamaya, naka ball gown kayo with matching miss universe make-up only to find out na next year na pala ang next interview schedule mo!

2. Read about the company!
Day, kung napagtitiisan nyong basahin ang blog ko that means kaya nyong pagtiisan basahin ang facts about the company na pinag-aaplayan nyo. Read about their history, mission and vision, products, profile ng mga bosses, competitors, chismis about sa company, chismis tungkol sa boss (charing lang). In short, come with ample knowledge about the company so mega relate kayo sa mga sasabihin ng interviewer nyo at para hindi kayo mukhang aanga-anga!

3. Read and understand the job description!
O mga totoy at neneng! Alam nyo ba ang ina-aplayan nyong trabaho at position? Alam myo ba ang requirements ng position. Naiintindihan nyo ba ang description ng job? Ma-eexplain nyo ba sa Interviewer in your own words pag tinanong kayo kung ano ang nature ng job na mega apply kayo. Baka mamaya Secretary position ang ina-aplayan nyo eh sa Security Guard post kayo mapunta!

DURING THE DAY OF INTERVIEW!

1. Dress Properly!
Hay naku mga day! I couldn't emphasize more the importance of your appearance during the interview! Sure at tama nga siguro si Pilisopo Tasyo about: "Don't judge the book if you're not a judge!" I mean "Don't judge the book by its cover!" pero purdyospursanto mga day, dress accordingly naman during your interview! Basics for Boys: Long Sleeves, Slacks pants, Leather shoes with matching office socks ha at hindi yung pang basketball nyo lintek kayo! Just in case, bring a tie para if ever na mejo pormal pormalan ang interviewer nyo, hindi kayo left behind. Basics for Girls: Skirts or slack pants, nice formal top, nice pair of shoes! Mga girls utang na loob, tantanan nyo na ang pagsusuot ng half slip paired with skirts! Pag pahingahin nyo na si Maria Clara in you! Kung hindi kayo sure sa isusuot nyo for your interview, take a picture send nyo sa email ko at morriseDOTdiangATgmail.com for my comments. I'll tell you kung approve or ligwak!

2. Arrive 30 minutes before your Interview Time!
No Filipino Time allowed mga lintsak kayo! Why arrive half an hour early? Duh? Para hindi kayo late! Obvious ba? Coming late for interviews is VERY unacceptable. If I were the interviewer, I'll ask you to go home and pray the rosary! Aba day! Kapal fes pag late ka sa interview mo. Wa ako care kung ma-traffic, naligaw ka, at kung ano-ano pang kamalasan ang sasabihin mo! When you come half an hout early, it will give you the time to do the following: make-up re-touch for girls, drain your gall bladder, i-text si jowa and MOST IMPORTANTLY to compose yourself and relax! Hindi kayo hagardous ever!

3. Smile, greet and shake-hands.
Smile though your heart is aching sabi nga ng isang song! When you smile, it shows a bit of your personality. It calms the other person and yourself too. It offers a ground for a good conversation. So mega show kayo ng bugs bunny teeth nyo mga day. Wag naman ngiting kabayo!
Greet. Always be the first to greet! Always! Say: "Good morning/afternoon/evening Mr. Chuvalou. How are you?" And when the interviewer replies and asks you the same thing say: "Pakialam mo! Charing lang! Reply: "I'm very well thanks for asking."
Shake Hands. Eto mga day ang never ever forget nyong gawin! Extend your hand for a hand shake! And in doing so, please guys do me a huge favor! DO IT FIRMLY! Not the lousy shake hands na parang matamlay pa kayo sa may sakit na kabayo! It shows your confidence and sincerity when you shake hands firmly. And while doing it, look him/her in the eye. Hindi yung nasa kisame kayo nakatingin! Finally, wait till he/she asks you to take a seat.

4. Communicate
Interview is a form of communication. You know that communication is a two-way street. Parang mag-jowa yan eh! Make the interview interesting by asking questions about the company, the job description, etc. Ok, when I say ask something it doesn't mean na ask na lang kayo ng ask! Make sure your questions are relevant sa existing topic ng interview nyo. Refrain from a YES or NO answer. Mga day, chuchugihin ko agad kayo pag ang mga sagot nyo sa tanong ko ay YES, YES, YES, NO, NO, NO... Aba, learn to expound and express your thoughts.Pero, pero, pero! Don't be an eager-beaver mga day ha. Wag masyado madaldal! Don't "overexpress". Be precise yet clear with your answers. Sa tagalog: TUMBUKIN NYO! Remember this: When an interviewer asks you to tell him/her about yourself, what he meant is something about you that makes him/her want to hire you in respect to the job position. Don't reply by saying: "I'm a simple person, I like shopping, I like going to malls and Luneta, all those cutesy cutesy things about you!" If he asks you about your hobbies then go kayo! Mega pa-impress kayo like you play golf, you ride horses, you play tennis etc! Charing!

5. Thank you and Shake Hands.
So after ng Interview at mga kapalpakan na pinagsasabi nyo during the interview eh may I say THANK YOU kayo. Thank him/her for the time and attention. Then do not forget to Shake his/her hand again!

AFTER THE INTERVIEW

1. Run to the closest Hallmark store o sa pinas eh National Bookstore
...and buy agad ng Thank You Card! Send it sa nag-interview sa inyo. Wag na mag write ng nobela sa card. Just put the name of the person who interviewed you and sign in your name. Tapos!

2. Follow Up Call (if necessary!)
Mga day, magpalipas naman kayo ng ilang araw bago mag follow-up. Like 2 years! Charing lang! Some companies tell you right off the bat kung kelan sila release ng decisions! Otherwise, call them after say 5 days after your interview to learn the bad news yourself...hahahaha charing lang! Be polite and be professional! Pag good news ayan, celebrate ka! Pag bad news, aba eh bagsakan mo na ng telepono! NO! Say Thank you still and put the phone down then start cursing them to death! hahahaha.

O ayan mga girls and boys! Sana eh makahanap na kayo ng work ng makatulong naman kayo sa economy ng bansa nyo at lalong lalo na sa bulsa ng mga magulang nyo! hahahahaha

From the Expensive Table and Chair of Yours Truly... When to Say: "I LOVE YOU!"

Hello mga day!

Kumusta na kayo? Namiss nyo ko? Sensya na kc long weekend dito sa merika dahil Araw ng Pangulo nila. So rest to the max si Morrise at mega lamyerda. Anyway, it's Tuesday indeed! So here's my TWM entry for today: When to say "I LOVE YOU, Wo ie Ni, Mahal Kita, Je t'aime, Te amo, Kimi o ai shiteru at kung ano ano pang mga lenguahe na alam nyo"

Madalas nyo ba sabihin ang L word (hmmm hindi Libido)??? Mini-mean nyo ba itech mga kapanalig? Na-ask nyo na ba ang self nyo (I feel like Kris Aquino here) kung dapat nyo na ba sabihin ang mga salitang ites??? Kung hindi pa, eh aba tigilan nyo na ang pag sasabi nyan at baka kayo eh mapikot!!! Charos lang! Pero mga day, dapat sa buhay buhay naten eh alam natin kung kailan sasabihin ang mga salitang "I LOVE YOU..."

Para sa mga nagliligawan... (lalong lalo na sa kalye! charing lang)

Maybe I'm not in the position para bigyan kayo ng mga payo tungkol sa ligawan mga kapanalig. Dahil sa maraming kadahilanan na ren na hindi ko na sasabihin! Magtiis kayo! hahahaha. Anyway, kung ang ligawan na pinag-uusapan natin ay ang ligawan like you know, getting-to-know each other, lunch dates, merienda dates, dinner dates at isama mo na midnight snack dates eh matutulungan ko kayo jan! O sige mga day, given the fact na kayo ay dating one month, two months, three months, 50 years! Kelan ba dapat mag I LOVE YOU? Ang sagot ay simple lamang: Aba, kayo ang nakaka-alam nyan! Ako ba ang nakikipag-date mga day??? Ngunit subalit datapwat!!! May ilang mga puntos na dapat nyong tanungin sa sarili nyo bago isuko ang PUSOn este PUSO!

Pencil and Papers ready?
1. Alam nyo na ba ang buong pangalan ng sasabihan nyo ng L word??? Kasama ang 2nd name, middle name at mga suffixes na naka-attach sa pangalan nya like, the 3rd, the 4th, the 20th, Jr, Sr. ba sya??? (Aba day, baka mamaya kapatid pala ito ni Osama eh, mag-isip ka!)
2. Alam mo ba ang bertdey ng future sakit ng ulo mo este future bf/gf? Hoy! Importante ito! Why? Dahil kailangan nyo i-consult kay madam Auring ang compatibility ng Astrological signs nyo! Charos! Pero wag ka, meron ako kilala na kailangan daw ang maging bf nya -Sagitarrian! Seriously, dapat naman siguro alamin nyo kung kelan ipinanganak ang magiging syuta nyo!Ng sa ganun naman eh ma-estimate nyo kung hanggang kelan sya mabubuhay kung sakaling magkatuluyan kyo ano! Baka mamaya day, 4 years na lang eh mag gu-goodbye Philippines na ang bf/gf nyo!
3. Alam mo na ba ang payborit kulay nya? Well not really his/her favorite color in particular but things that he/she likes! Day ang operative word dito ay COMPATIBILITY! Meron ba kayong commonalities in terms of what you both like. Like nyo ba pareho na mag-malling while HHWW, ang mamasyal sa Luneta, ang kumain ng halo-halo? Pareho nyo din bang like manood ng xtube este ng youtube? Basta kailangan meron kayong similarities sa mga likes nyo. This is the same reason kung bakit di nag work-out ang relationship namen ni Matthew Mcconaughey, dahil type nya na laging naka topless, ako ang type ko yung shortless!
4. Na-view na ba sya ng family mo? NOTE: Family not friends! Mga day, itong number 4 ay para lamang sa mga legal nang makipag-date! Hindi yung patago! Ligwak kayo! Naku madaming violent reaction dito pero sa aken mga day, kailangan muna ma-view ng mommy sharon at daddy gabby ko (si KC ako eh) ang future bf ko! Why? Come on now and this may sound like a cliche' but really, PARENTS know best! So may I value ko ang mga inputs nila!
5. Na-introduce na ba kayo sa mga friendship? Hay naku mga day! Importante ito! Trust me, madami akong alam na potential relationships na naudlot dahil sa mga objections ng friendships. I know, i know sasabihin nyo: "Eh baket, mga friends nya ba ang pakikisamahan ko?" I'll tell you the answer: YES! Admit it or not, i-factor in nyo ang mga friends mga day. Syempre sa umpisa lang naman. Aba eh kung sa tingin nyo ay talagang mahal nyo ba ga eh mega suyo muna sa friends. Like ipag-igib nyo ng tubig, ipagluto nyo, ipag-sibak ng panggatong, hiluran nyo ang mga friend nya! In short, build a rapport with his/her friends! Ok?
6. Warning: Adult Contents! Ayan ha, may warning ako mga kapanalig ha! Musta naman ang sexcapades nyo? Mga day, Importante din ito! Kung sa umpisa pa lang eh mejo di nyo na type ang kalaguyo nyo eh mega dump na agad! Yung mga pa-demure epek jan, please lang don't give me this bullshit: "Hindi lang naman sex ang importante eh!" Sa huli day, you'll end up looking for something better! And of course you are right, hindi lang ito ang importante but don't scratch it out of your list of considerations.
7. Ultimately, you should ask yourself kung alam mo ba ang commitment, loyalty, trust associated with I LOVE YOU. Pag alam mo and ready ka, i say: GO FOR IT GIRLS and BOYS!!!

Ito ay mga suggestions at puntos lamang po na isinulat at nagmula sa mamahaling table and chair ko...hahahaha... Sabi nga nila: "Different strokes for different folks..."

Hugs,
Morrise

How do you to tell a friend that he or she has Halitosis???

Good Morning mga day!

It's 1:33am na here sa US pero gising pa ang beauty ko! Why? Jet Lag ito mga day at kakauwi ko lang galing trabaho mula sa Sweden so todo to the max blog para me mabasa naman kayong magandang artikulo hindi puro Xerex na lang kayo! hahahaha

Anyway day, so arrive ako from Sweden. So since out of the country ang mudra nyo for a week. May I payag ako na yung friend ko muna ang maging care taker ng kotseng kuba ko. Mega hatid ako sa airport and kanina nga eh mega sundo nya din akech with matching 1 foot of red carpet pa!

My friend is a pretty girl, of course mana sa aken eh. She is pretty smart too for a blonde girl (hahahaha). However mga day, eh and friend kong ito na itatago na lang naten sa pangalang DINA LEE GO eh may Halitosis o oral malodor o sa tagalog eh mabaho ang hininga!

At alam ko na na-experience o kaya eh nai-experience nyo ang mga taong ganito! Kaya join forces tayo mga kapatid sa pagsugpo ng baho hininga gang! Are you with me? Let's VOLT IN!!! YES!

So si Dina Lee Go picked me up at the airport. I was very tired from my flight and didn't get much sleep sa airplane. And the last thing I needed that time was some breath of a fresh imburnal! Josko day, ito pang si Dina eh mahilig mang beso at she talks really close to me kulang na lang mag kapalit ang fes namen! So in short mga kapanalig eh sagap ko lahat ang simoy ng hangin na lumalabas sa kanyang bibig!

Ituloy naten ang kwento, so nasa car na kame. Yes! It's my chance na para di na sya maging close sa mukha ko pero mali ako mga day! Tuloy ang ratsada ng bibig ng loka loka! And of course ang kotse ay sarado ang mga windows dahil -12 degress Celcius lang naman ang temp. Pero mga day, dahil di ko kinaya ang amoy sa car binuksan ko ang window at pretend ako na naiinitan and she started closing it kc daw nilalamig sya. She closed the window, I opened it again, she closed it, I opened it, she closed it, I opened...

Finally after 35 minutes of excruciating pain (hahahaha), we have arrived! Ngunit subalit datapwat mga day, hindi dito natatapos ang kalbaryo ko with DINA. She volunteered and picked up my luggage sa trunk and started walking towards the elevator sa building ko. Sumama pa sa apartment ko ang lintsak. Korek, nasa elevator kameng dalawa and mega chika pa den ang bruha. Imagine yun???

So may I insert ako ng card key ko! Mga day, the moment na nag-click yung door ko, mega run ang lola nyo sa bathroom ko na parang hinahabol ng sampung Pitbull at mega throw up!!!! Sunod si DINA at mega knock sya sa door ng bathroom saying: "Hey, are you ok?" I said: "Yes, I'm alright!!! I just need to throw up and breath!" Dina: "Do you want me to help you in there?" Me: "NO!!!! Thank You!" Dina: "Are you sure?" Me: "Shut up, I'm ok!"

Then I took my sweet sweet time sa bathroom! I stayed there for almost an hour. Hanggang nainip na si DINA at sumigaw na lang ng: "Hey I'm going now, I left your car key in your dining table...."

So in short mga day, hindi ko nasabi kay DINA na amoy imburnal ang bibig nya! At wag nyo akong husgahan! Mabuti akong kaibigan! Kaya lang mga day sana maintindihan nyo na ako ay nasa mahirap na kalalagayan. Sige nga, paano mo sasabihin sa kebigan mo na mabaho hininga nya without making it awkward???Aber? Aber? O dibah mahirap??? Iisipin mo tuloy, abutan ko kaya sya ng mouthwash, o kaya ng sipliyo, o kaya ng clorox, o di kaya ng tawas, pwede din kaya ang nganga ng matatanda???

Sa ngayon, ito lang ang masasabi ko. Inaantok na ako! Charos! Sa tingin ko, walang matatawag na pinaka polite at mabuting paraan para sabihin sa isang kaibigan na ang hininga nila ay kasing amoy ng basura sa Payatas dump site! Pinakamadaling paraan ay: bring fresh gum and mints and right away offer your friend some. Pag ayaw nya, pilitin nyong isaksak sa bibig nya! Leche sya! Sya na nga itong pinapabango ang breath eh!

Pero kung may alam kayo na paraan eh pucha, i-share nyo naman sa aken!

O sya mga day, inaantot na ako....

Morrise

Valentine's Day Break-Ups

Salut Folks!

Oh ano na? Tapos na ang V Day? Ano naman napala nyo? Naregaluhan ba kayo ng diamonds are forever, ng flowers na kalachuchi, ng tsokaleteng Chocnut (in fairness masarap to!) o di kaya ng Kiss man lang? Oh well good for you my friend! Ako? May na receive din ako, pero di ko sasabihin. Pero pag pinilit ako pwede na din...hahahaha

Anyway my friends, today we will talk about Valentine Break Ups. Hay naku day! Talamak pala itong kaganapan na itech! Di ako aware before ngunit subalit datapwat! Nalaman ko ito sa mga kebigan kong chismosa na kagaya ko at syempre kagaya nyo din! ;-)

Sa mga mahilig sa Romansa (parang ang sagwa pakinggan - romance na lang!), ito ang pinaka-iiwasan nilang mangyari! Lintsakin mo ba naman makipaghiwalay sa yo ang churva of your life sa mismong araw ng mga PUSOn este PUSO! Eh di wasak lahat ng mawawasak sa yo lalo na ang hearty mo! And then you'll start saying these lines na josko day, maloloka ang mga script writers ng pelikulang Pilipino! Example:

1. "Ibinigay ko ang buong puso at kaluluwa ko sa yo...." (puso't kaluluwa nga lang ba???)
2. "Hindi ko kayang mabuhay ng wala ka sa piling ko..." (arte mo! tampalin kita jan eh!)
3. "Anong meron sya na wala ako..." (aba day! break na nga nagtanong ka pa!)
4. "Ikaw ang lahat sa akin..." (teleserye itech day, kaya wag ka manggaya!)
5. "Pinulot ka lang sa putik..." (mataray ang lola mo, palaban! type ko!)
6. "Sige! Mamili ka! Sya o ako..." (Patay ka day pag hindi ikaw ang pinili, kakahiya ka!)
7. "Sinaktan mo ang puso ko..." (alam ko kasunod nyan day.."Sinaksak mo ng kutsilyo... bwahaahahaha!")
8. "Para kang carenderia, bukas para sa lahat!..." (type ko to, jokjok pala!)
9. "Akala mo lang wala pero MERON MERON..." (merong ano? aba day wag ka parang adik paulit ulit ka, leche ka!)
10. "Sabi mo ako lang ang mahal mo pero bakit dalawa kame???" (sinungaling pala yang mokong na yan eh, hala putulin na ang ari nyang lintsak na yan!)

And so many other lines pa mga day! Pero isa lang masasabi ko day! Aba, MOVE ON!!! Pag sinabi sa inyo ng jowa nyo na break na tayo ang pinaka maganda jan eh ganito ano - follow the 7 easy steps formulated by yours truly:
Step1. Smile
Step2. Say: "Thanks for the good memories!"
Step3. Hug him/her
Step4. Smile again
Step5. Walk away swinging your hips
Step6. Then look back
Step7. At a distance give the mothafocka the DIRTY FINGER and MOVE ON!

Tapos para move on faster kayo day, eto ang mga dapat nyo isipin:
1. "Mas maganda ako sa kanya..." (kahit hindi totoo, pwede na yan day!)
2. "Ang panget ng buhok nya, puro split ends!" (kahit parang pubic hair yung sa yo!)
3. "Mas kaunti ang peklat ko sa legs, bentsingko lang ang sa aken sa kanya piso!" (need I say more???)
4. "Mas matalino ako sa kanya, 8 years ako sa college sya 9 years!" (grabe SUMA... sumasampung taon ang lola!)
5. "Bad breath sya, ako halitosis lang! (Josko, 8 years nga sa college ang lola mo!)

At marami pang bagay na nagsisimula sa MAS!

In short guys, learn to appreciate and love yourself more. Most specially after a break up!

At ito ang pinaka importante sa lahat mga day after a break up: ALWAYS LOOK YOUR BEST kahit san kayo pumunta - whether bibili lang kayo ng suka sa kanto o pupunta sa mall! Who knows baka makasalubong mo ang tatawagin na nating EX! Para ang masasabi na lang nya: "Damn! Bakit ko say hiniwalayan!" Instead of: "Damn! Buti na lang hiniwalayan ko sya!" Tigbak ka day!

So sa mga single na ulit after VD, okay lang yan. Start banging some other people na agad! Charos lang! This is the perfect time to love and appreciate yourself more than before!

Hugs,
Morrise

10 Most Romantic Movie Lines - Valentine's Day TWM Special

Love is in the air... Love is in the air...Love is in the air... OK! Fine! Enough already!

Ooopppsss, before I forget. HELLO Folks! It's Tuesdays with Morrise once again! And in recognition of St. Valentine's Day this 14th I am giving you what you want! That is - unforgettable Romantic Movie Lines!

Not everyone is good with words, so let's offer them a hand job I meant helping hand! How about telling these very words to your gf/bf/fb/whatever you call them.

Ready??? This is exciting!!!

1. “I love you without knowing how, why, or even from where” – Patch Adams

Awww... This is so sweet... Sometimes being dumb is sweet... Like not knowing anything... ahahahahaha

2. "I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it." - City of Angels

However, the ending of the movie kinda sucks! I dunno maybe it's just me.

3. "I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you" - Dirty Dancing

Holy cow! I should dance more!

4. "You make me want to be a better man" - Jack Nicholson, As Good As It Gets

Awwww... If only all men would be like this... Hello??? Wake up Morrise! You're dreaming! This will never happen!

5. "You had me at hello" - Renee Zellweger, Jerry Maguire

My response: "I didn't say hello, I said HI moron!" hahahaha

6. "The fame thing is only temporary,and don't forget i'm just a girl standing in front of a boy,asking him to love her." - Julia Roberts, Notting Hill

Who doesn't know this? I have my version: ".... I'm just a boy standing in front of a boy, asking him to love him." Charing!

7. "You... complete me."--Jerry Maguire

I say try: "Usted me completo..." Spanish sounds better...hahahaha

8. "Look, I guarantee there will be tough times. I guarantee that at some point one or both of us is going to want out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don’t ask you to be mine, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know in my heart you are the one for me." - Runaway Bride

I so love this... Very realistic!

9. "May I ask your name, my lady? Or perhaps angels have no names, only beautiful faces." A Knight's Tale

This is a winner! Good pick up line too boys!!!

10. "I wish I knew how to quit you" - Brokeback Mountain

In memory of my late EX BF Heath....

Here's your all time favorite: "Roses are Red, Violets are blue, Sugar is sweet and so are YOU!"

I am very confident that you guys will be all geared up for the hearts day with the right lines to tell your bf/gf/fb/whatever you call them!

Hugs,

Morrise

Facts about YOU plus sexy is back!

I'm back FOLKS! hahahaha I bet you missed me... Oh well, gotta take care of some stuff but I'm back with a vengeance! Bwahahaha

Last week, I have learnt some invaluable lessons about "myself"(read!) and being the selfless person that I am (NO violent reactions allowed), I am sharing it with you so that you can educate the morons of the poor universe.

1. Scientists say the higher I.Q. the more you dream.
OMG, I dreamt yesterday, a couple of days ago, last week, last month! Charos! Question: Are WET DREAMS counted? hahahaha

2. The largest cell in human body is the female egg and the smallest is the male sperm!
Boo! Double standard! hahahaha Oh well, good thing I have both!

3. The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve razorblades.
This is a very good news, I just swallowed a couple! But when I was a kid, I saw a magic trick where they swallow razorblades and I thought it's going to slice open their intestines. NOW i know why it doesn't - because of the acid...ahahahahahaha

4. The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Brittanica.
I challenge this fact! Howcome there are morons out there like my college classmates who kept on copying my exam answers??? Aber aber???

5. Your eyes are always the same size from birth but your nose and ears never stop growing.
Good! I also happen to know something that keeps on growing most specially when touched or licked! hahahahahaha

6. The tooth is the only part of the human body that can't repair itself
Really? You mean to say when I try to cut off my, you know, my, you know, my PeePee, it will grow back? hahahaha

7. Dogs and Humans are the only animals with prostates.
Is this where they got the term "dog-style"??? hahahaha

8. The tongue is the only muscle attached at one end.
Tongue? Hmm... this is a powerful muscle...you know what i'm talking about...*wink* And they attach the other end of the tongue somewhere else...hahahahaha

9. Your brain uses 40% of the oxygen that enters your bloodstream.
Now I know why people who don't use their brains FARTS a lot. Because the Oxygen is converted to Carbon Dioxide since it's not being used up. hahaha

10. There is about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet.
OMG, I should refrain from my foot fetish.. hahahaha

11. About one third of the human race has 20-20 vision.
And I am NOT one of them! Crap!

Not true! Mine is green!

Tell me something I don't know...

On Losing...

Hello guys!

Pardon my "not so happy" entry today. For people who know me really well, this is kinda strange. They always see a smile in my face even if the "goin gets tough". I am a happy person! But what can I say and you may think it sounds like a cliche, but here you go and I'm saying it... I'm only human..

Losing can be interpreted in so many ways. Death, break-up, separation, divorce, fight, betrayal, etc. But whatever it is, it leaves you aching and in pain. It breaks your spirit. It tears your heart apart. It makes you weep. It stops your life for a moment. It covers the good things with bad. It makes things seem ugly instead of beautiful. It makes you evil instead of kind. It numbs you of joyful things. List goes on and on...

I am a "clingy" person. I hold on to my family, loved ones and friends for as long as I possibly can. I share my dreams, my goals, my happiness and my sorrows with them. I love, breath, celebrate, care and laugh with them. I treasure, value, respect and cherish them. However, losing someone is inevitable. And as my mom would always say: "People come and go honey" She is right and she'd always be right on that sense...

A very good friend and confidante named Catherine wrote me a letter and she said: "I know some good things never last but it's a pity it has to end so soon..."
I knew I broke her heart when I had to go but she understood...

How I wish I could be like her right now and understand what happened...

Have a great wednesday folks...

Hugs,
Morrise

NO TWM for today...

How are you guys?

I'm sorry there'll be no Tuesdays With Morrise Today...

I'm not feeling well and my mind is everywhere right now.

Later...

Will We Really Know When "It's about time..."?

I hate Monday... don't we all? The morning rush, the crazy drive to work and it happens to me every Monday - every Monday! F*** Interstate 76! To make it worst, my New England PATRIOTS lost over New York Giants in the Superbowl yesterday!!!

On a lighter note and on my way to work today, I was listening to one of my favorite Jazz singer ever, Jamie Cullum. He is awesome! He is great! He is very very talented! You guys should listen to his music! There's this track in his Twenty Something Album entitled: It's about Time. It talks about being ready to make someone yours. But my question is: Will we really know when "It's about time" to make someone ours???

I don’t know if I have ever been in love, which is probably a good indication that I haven’t (no offense to my Exes, again, it's plural you see that hahahaha). According to all the advice columns in the newspaper and from friends, when you are in love, you know it. I am always coming across these testimonies of love, of people proclaiming the beauty, and purity, and unconditional nature of their love. However, I often wonder if these ideal proclamations aren’t elaborated, as they often appear to me as highly convoluted. It mystifies me that one can be so certain of their love in a relationship despite how incredibly easy it is to fall out of love.

A very good friend in UK, Sabrina, once wrote me a comment about my being cynical on knowing when it is indeed love or when it's about time to make someone mine exactly this and I quote her: "Much of the truth about love is purely feeling. And as complex as a feeling is, the harder it is to put down into words. Truly, love is one of the most unstable realities one will encounter in his/her lifetime---if he/she ever does. But like a scale, it will chose to go one side in the end. may it be to falling out or to becoming a permanent, unconditional, undying, unwaning fixture in one's life. To which side it will fall through, no one can ever predict. But, wouldn't you risk even just a part of your lifetime finding out?I know my life would be filled with regret had i not." Maybe she's right about taking the risk and finding out.

I wish that I had more faith, but I have trouble believing in this idealistic unconditional love and knowing when IT"S ABOUT TIME. I know that a single stolen kiss can change a relationship. In that single moment, the honesty and the integrity are broken. How can someone then possess such perpetual conviction in such an unstable thing as love? I know that human nature is fallible, and that is why I have such little faith. However, I honestly believe that once I do fall in love, I will be able to understand the true dynamics of unconditional love, which are able to hold together relationships in our imperfect world. Until, I intend on keeping my cynical views towards love, and revel in my ignorance. As Oscar Wilde said, "The well-bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves."

So tell me guys and perhaps ask yourself the same thing, Will We Really Know When "It's about time....?"

ITALIAN 101: Angel Hair Pasta with Tuna - the BEST!

Happy Saturday Guys!

I went to my friend's house last night for dinner before we went out clubbing. He is 100% full-blooded Italian! Yummm... You know what they say about Italians right? (*wink*) - that they really make good pasta dishes! Hmmm you're probably thinking of some other things about them, aren't you little perverts...hahahaha

Anyway, Filipinos are so used (or at least I am) to cooking pasta for like big number of people (7-10 minimum). We cook spaghetti when we have parties etc. as an example. What I found out last night was very interesting and I want to share it with you guys!

I found out from my Italian friend that to make a really good pasta, we should cook the pasta dish as individual serving or maximum would be for 2 people and NOT as a BULK COOKING that can serve the whole barangGAY (village)!

And on that note, I want to share a simple yet very mouth-watering pasta dish that you can make for yourself and your sex partner, ooooppppssss you call it bf or gf nowadays right? hahahaha

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH TUNA - for 2 people by Chef Morrise

Ingredients:

1 bulb of fresh garlic chopped very finely

1 medium full cup of OLIVE OIL (don't use any other oil like coconut, vegetable, baby oil or your own oil!!!)

1 & 1/2 can of tuna IN OIL (read: IN OIL not in water, not mechado flavor etc!!!)

Salt and Pepper - no MSG please...hahahaha

Angel Hair Pasta - (about close to 1/2 lb for 2 people)

How to Cook:

1. Cook your pasta in a boiling water. DO NOT put oil, just water and a lil sift of salt. Make sure the PASTA is Al Dente - meaning not over done! Put it aside while doing the next steps below (not above hahahaha)

2. Heat up your pan in medium flame and put your olive oil.

3. Saute your garlic until it becomes brownish in color! Brownish not brownie, ok? Don't over saute!

4. Put your tuna (throw away the oil in the tuna can) and saute it with the garlic.

5. Saute it for 5 minutes

6. Season with salt and pepper - don't put too much salt (take care of your kidneys, you can sell 'em when you want some good $$$$ hahaha)

7. Put the ANGEL (not the devil's) HAIR PASTA and fry it with your tuna.

8. Mix continuously using two forks.

9. Get a plate and put some parsley on top if you want. perhaps some garlic bread???

10. Serve with a glass of Cabernet or Merlot

11. Eat, Enjoy and relax

11. And Lastly, don't forget to tell your BF or GF that I was the one who taught you how to cook the best PASTA he ever tasted in his/her life and that you both owe me a bottle of wine!

Let me know how it turns out guys!

Ciao!

Hugs,

I so HATE Fergie! Read first before cursing..

TGIF!!!

I'm so excited for this weekend as some friends are planning to go snow boarding this Sunday at the Poconos! Yes!!! Time to put my thermal panties, I mean briefs! hahahaha

Anyway, I have a question guys. Did this ever happen to you? Like you start hating a guy or a girl simply for being the bf or the gf of your ultimate big time crush??? It sucks big time, right? Like this Stacy (Fergie) Ferguson! I "hate" her! She stole my honeypie-bukopie Josh Duhamel from my loving arms. They recently got engaged btw as you probably know by now. Fergie's romance with Josh (first name basis, you see that? hahaha) is quite KINKY too! You want to know why? This fergalicious so delicious star admitted that Josh dances for her in private, wearing some interesting costumes! Also, Josh bought Fergie some thigh-high boots that are made of leather! Josh certainly learned those stripping skills from yours truly and we have a sex tape...*wink*

So yeah, I hate her being Josh's honey bunny! And I don't care if she's nice or kind or a good singer. I hate her!

Come on guys, sometimes no matter how kind and nice the person is, you still hate 'em! Why? Because in your eyes, you see them as this slutty-boyfriend/girlfriend-stealer-bitch! No shit, I'm right!!!

So think about this over the weekend - who do you hate for being with the person you so like and perhaps love??? I bet you'll have plenty of names in your list!!!!

P.S.

I know a little bit about witchcraft and I know some witches and sorcerers too. Let's just call them Cathy and Sheila! All you need is a strand of hair to put a hex or curse on the person that "stole" your potential boytoy or girltoy... So contact me...bwahahahahahaha

Morrise
