This post is dedicated to the Sagada-philes among you and for the iSagadas away from home. I think the song was written and composed by Dennis Faustino of St. Mary’s School. Video credit goes to shayenne88.
Just a correction on the lyrics that you’ll see in the video:
* It’s “traveled hills” not “troubled hills”
* It’s “all laden with pine” not “O’laden with pines”
* It’s “dressed in green” not “dress in green”
* It’s “spawned my love” not “spoiled my love”

Ay kakabsat ken kakailiyan, hehe, i-promote ko man daytoy barbaro nga blog ko. I felt guilty and silly writing sponsored posts in this blog and in our other blog so I decided to come up with a new blog where I can do sponsored posts shamelessly. Eh dahil malapit na din ang Olympics and one of my first ever writing assignment years ago is to do an Olympic story so I decided to come up with The Olympian Blog.

Folks, let’s help a kailiyan win a blog contest and get featured as the Pinoy Blog of the Week. The Meliorist blogs about global warming which is an important issue to all of us global dwellers. Unfortunately, there are those who deny that there is such a thing as global warming; like Dubya and his cabal who invaded Iraq to get their hands on that country’s rich oil resources.
Anyways, how do we vote for The Meliorist? Simply visit her site, scroll down a bit, look at the brown/yellowish box in the left sidebar, check Savetheearth-now, click vote, and you’re done. I think you can also vote for it in the blog that does this Pinoy Blog of the Week contest but I can’t find it now.

What kind of country has the Philippines become such that an ad like this appears in Craigslist?
I was like, dude, you’re looking for a maid. What’s “prettiness” got to do with it? Does a maid have to be pretty before she knows how to clean your house? Or to cook adobo? Or to wash your dirty underwear? Seriously. What’s up with that requirement?
One would think that the ad placer, being an American, would be sensitive to this kind of work-related discrimination but I think sensitivity to this kind of thing gets thrown out of the window when one lives in the Philippines. After all, Filipino employers do look for people with “pleasing personality”.
And here’s another Craigslist post that made me go, “hmmm”. A foreigner likes it here in the Philippines,
