Another Guiness record for Sir Paeng Nepomuceno

Paeng Nepomuceno also made it to the Guiness World Records for the third time. This time for having won the most number of bowling tournaments worldwide -- 118.

He is also currently holding the record for winning four World Cups in three different decades and for being the youngest to win a world title at the age of 19. Beat that!! Hahaha..

Truly, a World Class Filipino..

David Blaine is now in the Guiness World Records

I watched Oprah last night and saw David Blaine broke the Guiness Record for the Longest Breathholding underwater that was recently made early this year.

The Old world record was for 16 minutes and 32 seconds. David Blaine's and the new world record is for 17 minutes and 4 seconds. David trained for 4 months to prepare for this attempt with the help of wordclass doctors, fitness trainers and divers.

Congratulations, David!!!

Iisa Pa Lamang

Last night, I watched the pilot episode of Claudine Baretto's new teleserye, Iisa Pa Lamang. I'm not really into teleseryes but the trailer got me interested. If the trailer stayed true to the real storyline, then I'm glad that at least Filipino writers are starting to treat their target audience with maturity.

I'll try watching it for two weeks, then we'll see if it's as good as they want to show us it is.

P.S. I just need to mention that Diether Ocampo has a great body and that Gabby Concepcion looks loke he's only a few years older than Diether and Claudine.

Miss Universe 2008

I watched the Miss Universe 2008 pageant yesterday and I was very happy with the result.

Ms. Colombia, Taliana Vargas, really had my vote from the start of the semifinals until I heard her answer the Jennifer Hawkin's question, "If you could go back in time and change a moment in your past, what would that be and why?"

She gave an answer that I consider to be the safest and laziest answer that one could give to such a question that would definitely show one's strength and humility. I was really disappointed.

That is why I considered, Ms. Venezuela's (Dayana Mendoza) answer to Louis Licari's question: "Do you believe men or women have it easier in life, and why?" her leap to the crown.

Her answer: "God made us to share and to have difference, but big difference between women and men, doesn't matter whether kind of life they live, is that men think, that they think that the faster way to got to a point is go straight. Women know that the faster way to go to a point is go to the curve and fix in every curves."

(BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE)

Her answer uplifted the women without the degrading men, and I think that makes a true Miss Universe, focusing the strengths of one's self without higlighting the weaknesses of others. =D Amazing!! i really like her.
