Stupid

I was in the cab on the way to the office. Manong driver and I were listening to DZMM.

Reporter: "Tatlong lalaki nahuling sumisipsip ng gasolina mula sa tangke...."
Bons: (Nanlaki ang mata sa gulat) "Huh? Iniinom nila yung Gas?????"
Manong Driver: (tumatawa) "AY Ma'am, nagnanakaw po sila ng gas."
Bons: "Sabi sinisipsip daw?"
Manong Driver: "Mamatay po sila pag ininom nila ang Gas"
Bons: "Ah, sa bagay" Reporter: (continued and finished his report)"... Pinuno ang lalagyanan at binebenta ng 600 pesos isa."

Okay. I'm getting bobo nowadays. lol.

Condoms 'too big' for Indian men

I was supposed to post this yesterday but I had more important stuff to talk about!:)

Comments and replies are welcome!


Condom factory
There is a "lack of awareness" over condom sizes
A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.

The study found that more than half of the men measured had penises that were shorter than international standards for condoms.

It has led to a call for condoms of mixed sizes to be made more widely available in India.

The two-year study was carried out by the Indian Council of Medical Research.

Over 1,200 volunteers from the length and breadth of the country had their penises measured precisely, down to the last millimetre.

The scientists even checked their sample was representative of India as a whole in terms of class, religion and urban and rural dwellers.

It's not size, it's what you do with it that matters
Sunil Mehra
The conclusion of all this scientific endeavour is that about 60% of Indian men have penises which are between three and five centimetres shorter than international standards used in condom manufacture.

Doctor Chander Puri, a specialist in reproductive health at the Indian Council of Medical Research, told the BBC there was an obvious need in India for custom-made condoms, as most of those currently on sale are too large.

The issue is serious because about one in every five times a condom is used in India it either falls off or tears, an extremely high failure rate.

And the country already has the highest number of HIV infections of any nation.

'Not a problem'

Mr Puri said that since Indians would be embarrassed about going to a chemist to ask for smaller condoms there should be vending machines dispensing different sizes all around the country.

"Smaller condoms are on sale in India. But there is a lack of awareness that different sizes are available. There is anxiety talking about the issue. And normally one feels shy to go to a chemist's shop and ask for a smaller size condom."

But Indian men need not be concerned about measuring up internationally according to Sunil Mehra, the former editor of the Indian version of the men's magazine Maxim.

"It's not size, it's what you do with it that matters," he said.

"From our population, the evidence is Indians are doing pretty well.

"With apologies to the poet Alexander Pope, you could say, for inches and centimetres, let fools contend."

Good News :)

Husband and I were in the hospital the whole day yesterday. I missed my 2 good looking doctors who are in the same floor and wing at the Makati Medical Center.

Dr. Mike Gan is my endocrinologist for my hormone and thyroid problems. Husband still blushes whenever he sees him because he's cute. I like it when he checks and touches my neck. LOL. He ordered several tests and injections again yesterday. Thank God for Maxicare.

Just two rooms from his clinic is Dr. Jay Famador's office. He's my OB-Gyne. He's also an oncologist (a specialist for cancer). He's a funny guy but I hope he gets married soon. It was so hard to figure out the real size of the baby by just checking my tummy. Because apparently, I HAVE BABY FATS. (You're not allowed to laugh) hehe. So he decided to have an on the spot ultrasound at the delivery room.

2 hours later, I was already inside the delivery room imagining the scenario 6 months from now. and Boy, it was scary! I can't imagine myself pushing and shouting just to hear the baby cries after she/he gets out from my, you know.

In the ultrasound, we checked how the baby was doing. The baby is now complete, with 2 hands, 2 legs, eyes, nose, lips, mouth and what have you. The best part is, the doctor told me that my baby is a GIRL.

Yes everyone, You will have a NIECE. Bons' baby is a GIRL!!!!

The doctor was 80% sure but I have to go back and check it once more when I'm on my 6th month. I haven't gained much weight. Meaning, I'm just eating like before except I'm a bit choosy lately.

Should you want to send Lilly Margrett some gifts, her MUMMY would appreciate the following:

1. Wooden crib, painted in white.
2. Pink or pale yellow sheets and pillow cases.
3. Dresses like Suri's
4. Shoes like Suri's
5. Paycheck similar to Suri's dad's paychecks (Joke lang!)
6. Baby books.

Lilly is just growing inside my tummy and doing somersaults. And yes, she's very malikot.

And because having a baby girl with a kikay mummy is more expensive than having a baby boy, I have my sideline.

Forgive the plug.

Prices range from 150- 200 pesos only.

Ganon?

I received this email a few minutes ago regarding my Bangkok trip.

Let me quote the email,

Hi Sandy / Hazel,

I've made an appointment of 3 clients for you on the 10th of April in Thailand. Here attached the document giving you the company address, meeting time, background information and potential projects. Also, I attached 2 maps for you. In the meeting, would you please include a short and quick company presentation to them?

Thank you for your great assistance.

Best regards,
Gordon Lee

Ok Chinese sila, forgive the construction.

I will be arriving really late on the 7th (like 10 PM).

I will be waking up early on the 8th because we have to set up our booth for a day-long conference. I will be sleeping late because there's this gala dinner to attend to.

I will be waking up early on the 9th because we have to set up our booth for a day-long conference. I will be sleeping late because there's this gala dinner to attend to again.

I will be waking up early on the 10th because there'd be 3 fucking meetings on that day, undermining the reality that traffic in Bangkok is worse than in Manila.

I will be leaving Bangkok on the 11th at around 11 PM. That means I have a whole day to run around, meet my Thai friends and buy my freaking tomyum instant noodles and spicy dried guava. I don't know if I will be able to shop. I want to buy summer dresses. For me, Bangkok is like the shopping Mecca in Southeast Asia! And it's really frustrating that with my schedule, it is impossible to drop by my favorite malls and to even visit PAT PONG!

geez.
