STUD OR SLUT?
January 22, 2008
STUD OR SLUT? Don’t brag about your conquests. In a new study published in the journal Sex Roles, 8,000 people assessed fictional men and women who had varying numbers of sexual partners. Individuals - regardless of gender - were seen as less intelligent the more sex partners they had, suggesting that a double standard doesn’t exist. Study author Michael Marks, PhD candidate, says people fall back on expected stereotypes ("sluts" and "studs") when talking in groups. But individually, they judge promiscuity harshly for both sexes.
~ hhhhmmmnn dami atang natamaan sa pagiging sluts..
Get Satisfaction
BE CONTENT >
How do you know when you have enough? Here’s a formula used by money guru Alvin Hall in the UK: As basic survival needs are met (shelter, food, clothing) you derive and increasing level of fulfillment. As you expand upon these needs (bigger house, more clothes) this level (imagine a line on graph) continues to climb. As needs become wants (new CRV, mandatory monthly buffets in a hotel) the line begins to arc down. The crest of the arc is "enough." This is all the money you need. So ask yurself: Is this a need or a want? Eventually, you’ll work out if you need what you’re paying for.

She wants more, and so do you
~ So are you contented with what you have now? They said people can never be contented..
do you agree guys?
Signs She Might Be Cheating
… Or thinking about it
SHE’S ACCUSING YOU. "Often, when a woman accuses her mate of having others, she’s projecting her own feelings onto him." says Susan Heitler, PhD. If your girlfriend lacks trust in you, she maynot trust herself.
>SHE WANTS MORE. If she’s telling you she needs something else from the relationship, whether the request is for more intimacy or a stronger emtional connection, listen. "A woman really lets you know what she’s thinking about," says Al Cooper, PhD, director of the San Jose Marital and and Sexuality Centre. "Is she tells you she’s feeling unappreciated or unimportant, or wants more intimacy, it can be the last ditch effort before she embarks on an affair."
>SHE’S ONLINE. If you’re hearing "You’ve got mail" more than "I love you," she may be spending time searching the Web for someone to talk to. "Even if she doesn’t want to to cheat, the Internet is particularly seductive for women," says Cooper. "It makes men have to talk, and women a communicator."
>SHE’S LOOKING HOTTER THEN EVER. If she’s started something on the side, sudden changes in behavior or apperance (for the better) are common.
>SHE’S SAPPIER THAN EVER. "If she’s watching romantic movies and reading romantic books, the feeling she’s getting from them is feeding something inside of her, "says Pepper Schwartz, PhD, a relationship expert who’s online a perfectmatch.com. If your mate’s not expressing these emotions in your direction, she might be looking for a new leading man.
>SHE’S MORE THAN ATTENTIVE TO YOU. A study published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin found that when a man’s girlfriend is cheating, she’ll start to make obvious attempts to increase his satisfaction in the relationship, as well as say derogatory things about her paramour. It’s a misdirection ploy to lessen your suspicions.
~ Ei guys, hope this would help you finds out if your girl is cheating on you… Women now are becoming aggressive, so be careful.. lol..
The Amazing Race Asia 2 Episode 9
Terri & Henry were last in The Amazing Race 2 Episode 8, but they survived due to a lame second non-elimination in a row. It’s like David & Mary from The Amazing Race 10. Just put them out of their misery already.
Teams depart in the order in which they arrived.
First: Rovilson & Marc (2:17am)
Second: Adrian & Collin (2:24am)
Third: Ann & Diane (2:40am)
Fourth: Paula & Natasha (3:10am)
Fifth: Vanessa & Pamela (4:17am)
Sixth: Terri & Henry (10:35am)
Teams must travel by train to Prague and find Petrin Hill, where they must climb the 60 meter observation tower and correctly count the 299 steps to the top. The next train is at 4:20am, enough to create some bunching.
Train 1: Rovilson & Marc, Adrian & Collin, Ann & Diane, Paula & Natasha
Train 2: Vanessa & Pamela
Train 3: Terri & Henry
The teams have a new plan to foil Ann & Diane. Refuse to work with them at the intersection.
The next hours of operation are at 9am. More bunching, this time enough for Pamela & Vanessa to catch up. Rather than waiting around aimlessly, Adrian & Collin and Ann & Diane go on Google and figure out how many steps are on the tower. Well played. While this gives Adrian & Collin the lead, though, Rovilson & Marc don’t need the answer beforehand and still place second on this task. Vanessa & Pamela also get it right, followed closely by Ann & Diane. Paula & Natasha, however, guess 311. They get confused the next time on the 52nd step and end up guessing 300. They finally get the right answer after that.
Strelecky Island on the Vltava River is the next destination. It turns out that Adrian & Collin’s foreknowledge of the number of steps did pay off after all. They catch the train before everybody else and are on the island apparently before anybody else leaves for it, though it doesn’t seem like a particularly long distance away.
Once on the island, teams will use a marked row boat to row 140 degrees southeast using the compass provided. A fairly simple task, but it has the potential to confuse some. The rowing could be bad enough, but when the compass is added to it, chaos could ensue. This is another one of those tasks that Rovilson & Marc have absolutely no problem with, while everybody else struggles.
The next clue is located at Prague Castle, the biggest ancient castle in the world. At the castle is the intersection, where each team must team up with another team. Adrian & Collin are first to arrive, and they plan to team up with whoever comes second. Pretty obvious who that will be, and these four together is even more unfair than the rest of the race has been. Shockingly enough, Rovilson & Marc are the next team to arrive.
They will head to the Ice Hockey Arena Letnany in Letnany. Each team member must score one goal from three different points on the rink (no goalie).
As the boys are leaving, Ann & Diane show up. Too bad for them, since Adrian & Collin are the only team particularly willing to actually work with them.
On the cab ride there, Rovilson & Marc tell us about the plan. If Paula & Natasha and Pamela & Vanessa team up, Ann & Diane will have to wait for Terri & Henry, putting them so desperately far behind they have no prayer of catching up any time soon. I didn’t get it before (and it appears to me they’re just realizing it, too), but this is absolutely brilliant strategy considering that point.
Too bad they didn’t think of this earlier. Vanessa & Pamela readily agree to work with Ann & Diane. Generally a very good idea, but given the circumstances, there was much strategy to be had with this. They totally forgot about Terri & Henry (who we haven’t seen this entire episode), and like Marc & Rovilson, they didn’t think about it until the cab ride. While they had discussed the yield with the boys, and the boys have discussed the intersection with Paula & Natasha, nobody filled Vanessa & Pamela in on the plans for what to do in the event of an intersection.
Paula & Natasha know they’re screwed. It’s at this point that we finally figure out just how far behind Terri & Henry are. They’re departing over 8 hours behind the first and second place teams. Even with the hours of operation bunching, we’re still looking at a wait time of at least a few hours. This is the same absolutely hideous planning that we saw in the US version (intersection on the leg after a non-elimination leg is almost certain defeat), with the added complication of the last place team being ridiculously far behind. Paula & Natasha are killing time to the extent that it’s just silly.
The detour is a choice between snap or roll. In snap, teams must find and take photos of three historical monuments and bring them to the statue of Josef Manes for verification. In roll, teams must collect two 50 liter beer kegs from a restaurant and deliver them to Admiral Botel.
Roll: Adrian & Collin and Rovilson & Marc, Ann & Diane and Vanessa & Pamela (after trying snap and being unable to either find anything or work together)
Snap: Paula & Natasha and Terri & Henry
After the detour is over, they are released from the intersection. Rovilson & Marc and Collin & Adrian worked together quite well as expected. All four other teams did okay until they got to the detour, where they failed miserably to be cohesive foursomes. They’ll head to the swimming pool in Prague 4.
The road block is a ten meter dive. That’s it? Yep, just as poorly planned as the US one. This will take no time at all. If there were any question before, it’s clear based on this that Terri & Henry are toast considering their 30 minute penalty. Granted, as little time as this did take, Vanessa says she’s delusional and can’t remember what she’s doing afterward. She doesn’t know what she just did or that they’re going to the pitstop. She was bleeding, so it would seem that the impact has caused some momentary short-term memory loss.
Road block (in order of arrival): Rovilson, Collin, Vanessa, Ann, Henry, Natasha
On the way to the pitstop and in a mad dash for last (only not really since the penalty negates any prayer Terri & Henry may have had), Terri & Henry are unable to get a cab, so they walk away. This very same cab picks up Paula & Natasha. Henry comments, “They just were nice to the guy.” It’s here we find out how long Paula & Natasha are behind the other teams: 5 hours. Terri & Henry’s poor performance has the potential to continue impacting the race, as we’re probably heading to an airport leg. 5 hours could mean nothing in that case, but it could mean an even larger gap. The plane here in the first place is what put Terri & Henry so far behind.
The pitstop for this leg of the race is Vrtbovska Garden in Mala Strana.
First: Rovilson & Marc (win Sony HD Handycam SR7)
Second: Adrian & Collin
Third: Ann & Diane
Fourth: Vanessa & Pamela
Fifth: Paula & Natasha
Sixth: Terri & Henry (eliminated)
It’s about time. I don’t know if it would have been possible for Terri & Henry to actually get any further behind than they were this leg. At least they’re going out in good spirits, though.
Go Marc and Rov! Go team Philippines!

Filipina golfers Rosales, Delasin win World Cup
Jennifer Rosales and Dorothy Delasin shot a closing seven-under-par 65 Sunday to lift the Philippines to the top of the Women’s World Cup of Golf at the Gary Player Country Club course in Sun City, South Africa.
For the latest Philippine news stories and videos, visit GMANews.TV
The Filipinas completed the three-day tournament at 18-under 198 to finish two strokes ahead of the Korean pair of Ji-Yai Shin and EunHee.
Japan and Taiwan tied for third on 13 under par 203.
"This is a very big day for the Philippines and for golf in the country," Delasin exclaimed. "This win is for all the Filipinos around the world."
"It was a real team effort," Rosales said. "The win hasn’t really sunk in at the moment, maybe it will when we have a few beers later. I loved the pressure of having to make each putt and I’m glad I came here to compete with my partner."
The two countries started the day tied for the lead, but Korea led by two shots at the turn and looked like the favorites to win the title after coming close on three previous occasions.
However, the eccentric Philippines pair birdied the 11th and 12th holes to draw level with Korea.
"We were kind of shaky on the front nine, but we got our groove on the back nine," Delasin explained. "On the back nine we said to ourselves win or lose we are going to have fun."
Shin and Ji went one ahead at the 14th with a birdie three, but the Philippines hit right back at the 15th with a birdie of their own from Delasin.
The four-time winner on the LPGA Tour then went into overdrive with three straight birdies at the 16th, 17th and 18th as the Philippines claimed the winner’s cheque of $ 280 000.
"Korea played really well and gave us our money’s worth," Delasin said.
Shin and Ji came to the final hole two shots behind the Philippines and, after Shin found the green with her second on the par-five 18th, the Koreans were still in with a chance of winning the title.
Shin had hit a dramatic second shot that looked like flying into the water but instead ricocheted off the rocks and onto the green. But she missed the 30-foot eagle putt and Delasin made her birdie to give the Philippines its biggest golf title in the country’s history.
Host South Africa finished tied sixth on 10 under par, which is its best performance in the tournament’s history. The six under par 66 was the second lowest round of the day after the 65s from the Philippines and Japan.
Defending champion Paraguay finished ninth with rounds of 66, 73 and 68 for a three-round total of 207.

By Request: Jim Brickman - Beautiful As You
My cousin Yen has been requesting this song since she was still in Tudela Miss. Occ., now she’s already here in Pagadian City.. Finally Yen… Here’s your request…
~ To whom do you dedicate this song Yen? Or somebody wants to sing this song for you.. is it Jessere? lol..
From the moment I saw you,
From the moment I looked into your eyes.
There was something about you I knew, I knew.
That you were once in a lifetime,
A treasure near impossible to find.
I know how lucky I am to have you.
’cause I’ve seen rainbows that could take your breath away.
The beauty of the setting sun that ends a perfect day
And when it comes to shooting stars, I have seen a few.
But I’ve never seen anything as beautiful as you.
Holding you in my arms
No one else’s fit so perfectly
I could dance forever with you, with you
And at the stroke of midnight
Please forgive me if I can’t let go
Cause I never dreamed I find a cinderella of my own
’cause I’ve seen rainbows that could take your breath away (take your breath away)
The beauty of the setting sun that ends a perfect day
And when it comes to shooting stars, I have seen a few.
But I’ve never seen (I’ve never seen) anything (anything) as beautiful as you.
La da da da da da daaaaa
Ooohhhhhhhhhhhh Ohh
I’ve seen rainbows that could take your breath away (take your breath away)
The beauty of the setting sun that ends a perfect day
And when it comes to shooting stars, I have seen a few.
But I’ve never seen (I’ve never seen) anything (anything) as beautiful
No I’ve never seen… anything as beautiful as you
From the moment I saw you,
From the moment I looked into your eyes.
~ Hope you"re happy now for your request being post now.. lol

Mind Game of the Month - January
Ask your girlfriend:
"Do you find my bestfriend, Paul, attractive?"
Notice which way her eyes move as she answers. If she’s right-handed and they go up and to her left (up and right for lefties), she’s telling the truth. If they go up and right (left for lefties), she’s not being honest.
Fave Stuff: JEANS
I lovejeans. So which one is your favourite? Apparently many korean stars and Beckham like this brand - LifeXtyle.
~ Hope I can wear all this pants.. lol.. Someday! lol.. Maybe if someone wants to give me these jeans, i’m very much willing to receive.. lol
Thoughts of the day: PAIN
Some lessons are best learned throught pain, sometimes our visions clear only after our eyes are washed with tears… Sometimes we have to be broken so we can be whole again… If God meant the day to be perfect, He would not have invented tomorrow… So don’t worry if today wasn’t perfect because you still have tomorrow… and if there’s anything in your heart that feels right, go after it no matter what it takes…"
~ The quote is self expalanatory.. I hope you reflect on our thought for the day.. To feel pain is not really bad at all.. Let’s just have to look for the bright side of it.. and that’s how much we learn from it!
~ Everyday i post thought for a day.. Something that we can reflect to, and we can relate with.
~ Have a blessed tuesday!
Babe: Riza Santos
~ definitely my crush… she’s so beautiful.. yummy.. lol..
TRIVIA#1:
Riza Santos represented Canada in the 2006 Miss Earth Beauty Pageant. She won a few titles including Miss Photogenic, first runner-up for Miss Talent and three of the four sponsored awards.

You represented Canada in last year’s Miss Earth pageant. How was the experience?
I represented Alberta and then they sent me to Montreal to compete for the national title and I ended up winning Ms. Earth Canada. So they sent me to the Philippines last November to represent Canada. I was very fortunate to make a lot of new friends. I won a few titles—Ms. Photogenic, first runner-up for Miss Talent and three of the four sponsored awards.
If you noticed, we asked a very vague question on the Miss Earth tilt. Having said that, are you suspicious of men who spout beauty pageant trivia like they were sports stats?
I’m not. See, I have a brother who’s so into sports but he knows a lot of beauty pageant trivia because of me. I tell my brother these facts and he can spout them out.
gud luck sa career=)
