"Impress your wife"?
Just got an ad email with this subject title: "impress your wife". I opened it and, lo and behold, I was given a brief description on how a tablet can improve my potency as a man -- sexual potency, that is.
Gee. And the ad was supposedly written by a woman. I suspect the writer was just a man posing as a woman. My wife is hardly impressed with my sexual prowess or skills. I think the average wife would be more impressed if their husbands did the laundry, cooked food and cleaned the house more often than usual -- which is around every Saturday that falls on a "13" (my random number). The inventors of this tablet think that women want their men to be workhorses in bed, when in reality, that is just what men want women to want. Women just want their men to work more around the house... at least from my reading of my wife's signals.
So here is my wish: a tablet that can give me the energy and enthusiasm to do housework and after all that, come out of it juicy enough for my wife to be impressed and seduced... and only then, will I get what I really want!

SM Baguio
Just came from a long awaited vacation with the family... 4-day vacation in Baguio!
A "first" of sorts for me. First time to drive all the way to Baguio. First time to drive for 9 people for 6 hours.
What I like about Baguio is the weather -- a welcome break from all the heat down here in Metro Manila. I can care less about the sights... oh, but I love seeing the pine trees and the clouds descending on the mountains...
Anyway, like any true-blue tourist, we just had to see Baguio's newest attraction: SM City Baguio! Of course, it was a thrill for me, an architect, because this is one of the rare times Philippine buildings employ stretched membranes. Henry Sy must be rolling in more money at the way his new building saves on airconditioning costs! The lobbies and cooridors are all open-air spaces -- cooled by the Baguio air. Super.
Critics say SM City is a monstrosity and defaces Baguio. I don't think so. It's location is strategic and provides a visual anchor for the immediate vicinities around it. It's facade is not that ugly, although it does have the "modern" look -- quite a shift from the nostalgic Baguio-image of Victorian mouldings and details. But it is a welcome contrast to the pine trees and they "support" each other.
Oh, well, see for yourself...
Now, off to work again am I! Padayon ang pag-pangita!
