Issues: Personal, National and International "News" :p

First things first.

Personal news?

I am royally pissed at Air21. Remember my story? The last post? Yeah. My second order? Got it today, yay, right? Day after it was up for shipping. Whoopie. Yaaaaay.

BUT

What about my other order? Hm. Idk. Here's the "development" on the situation

[UPDATE. It's 7:17 and I finally, FINALLY got my order as I'm writing :))]

Sorry for the first screenshot fail :)) But you get the gist, right? Yes. I'm glad I have it now but all the trouble it caused? The suspicion on my family's part because I've been so anxious :p Yeah. Lesson learned? If you want packages to arrive where you want 'em and on time... do NOT, I repeat, do NOT DO NOT DO NOT use Air21. Air21 = crap service. Since my first post, I've been getting info of similar disappointment with the courier service.

I don't know just how many people are reading my blog, I started this blog for me in hopes that I would fulfill my dream of helping someone out somehow through the posts in my blog. That being said, I hope you'd all join me in screwing Air21. Why? So we eliminate the craptastic occurrences. You don't have to do it. I'm just really, really disappointed with the service.

National news tiiiime.

"Gulf Air Baby"

My take?

Freaking hell. How much is a condom. Tell me. I don't know how much it is (shame) but srsly, tell me.

I doubt it's anywhere near the cost of:

• going to the hospital for check ups and all the actual birth action
• food
• clothing
• equipment
• schooling
• generally all the things you need to nurture a new life

You know how I feel about the health bill here in the Philippines and sex education. So there's that

"Shaina/John Lloyd Stuck Rumor"

I've read about this on someone's blog, forgot who (sahree) before it got big. Wasn't long before names were attached to the rumor. True or not I'm sad for Shaina. It's only really degrading for the woman, isn't it? I shake my head at all this drama. Hope this crap dies out soon.

"Mariel/Robin Lovey-dovey Crap"

Meh, no links yet. Just can't believe their "whirlwind romance." I don't want to be one to judge if it's legit, whatever. I just hope it's not just another gimmick relationship, y'know? All the luck to them.

"MMDA Anti-Littering"

Today, I'm happy to catch news that finally, FINALLY, there's some sort of authority working against littering. On the news, people who were given tickets and made to pay a fee for littering. I hate, hate, HATE it when anyone (be it strangers or family members) just toss trash anywhere. I mean, if we don't even have the discipline to wait to get to a freaking trash bin, what hope do we have for discipline over more complex tasks? This is BASIC. We learned this in kindy, we should have learned it at home too. Come on people. To keep our country clean, we don't need people cleaning up after everyone else, we need to toss our crap properly.

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS

Okay so the first isn't really "news" news but here goes

"Guru Beef"

I don't often get on my TweetDeck but I checked things out tonight and saw this. Ignore the middle tweet but the first and third ones are what to pay attention to.

Personally, lately, my impression of MichellePhan (yt guru, twitter username:RiceBunny) hasn't been good. It's like I don't think she's as awesome as I used to (Pixiwoo sisters rock btw, but that's for another time). Lately I've been watching ThesPNation and I like his frank brand of humor. I like it when it's true and when it's not such a low blow. I am by no means a fan girl defending MP with everything I just think that with any issue, given that this was someone close to me or someone I hated, that tweet was totally uncalled for, such a low blow. I mean, I thought SP was smart and everything and I guess he is with some of the things he says but this has definitely turned me off.

NEEEEXT

"Gabourey Sidibe Lighting and Lightening Issue"

If you click on the link you'll see all the talk about it.

My personal opinion? I don't know much about photography but she definitely looks lighter than a lot of photos on google images. Do I think there's any issue on race? Mmmmm, I don't want to go playing the race card this time. What bothered me really was this comment I found below

I don't want to comment, I'm sure you could generate all your own opinions on your own. All I can say is: more power to women of color, more power to full-figured women.

I think GS is beautiful :) And to show you, here's a particular photo I liked (credit: Google Images)

Fierce with all the confidence oozing from the photo. 'grats to your cover photo, GS :)

AAAAAAAND last but not the least is a fun fact for ya'll

September 15 = National Backpack Day in the US :D I learned that in school today :)) Today's the 10th year celebration :) Basically, it's something started by AOTA (American Occupational Therapy Association) to spread awareness not only on the OT profession but more importantly how backpacks affect posture. Did you know that your backpack must only contain 10% of your body weight or less? If you don't have the right straps, wear it wrong, overpack, your posture = bad. And bad posture means strain on parts of your body like say your muscles. So, let's all be good at packing, shall we? ;)

Haha.

That's it for now. Do you like little news things like this? I enjoyed doing it :p What do you think on any or every issue? Are you packing good? :p

'Til then,

Love muchness,

Ciao!
