I need some positivity boosters, stat

I thought a thought while I was at the BIR to surrender some unused 50-plus receipts/invoices booklets of 50 pages only to, as reported, get burned (the tree hugger in me is disappointed): 

BIR's change of receipts' format is not friendly to newly-established business and to SMEs (i.e. businesses not owned by those in the Forbes list), in general. Printing receipts involves expenses (fees here and there), and as they say, an expense is an expense.

Now, now, think about the penalty of Php 1,000.00; now think about SME-engaged Pinoys who are themselves apparently busy and couldn't help but resort to mañana habit, and in one Revenue District there are, say, 1,000 of them. Do the math. Fact: There are 123 revenue districts in the Filipinas. Do the math, again. Where will the money go? Possibly, to PDAF.

Ugh, I feel sick.


What's more sick-inducing? The Administration-Janet Napoles Conspiracy Theory. 




Blech.


Sa ibang balita: Derek Ramsey and Cristine Reyes, mag-on na.

I wanna talk about MTV VMAs

My observations/thoughts/favorite moments :



Jared Leto’s locks, so Olivier Theysken.

Where’s Pharell?

Miley’s tongue 

should be given a T.R.O.

Wow, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis ft Mary Lambert - Same Love — Best Video with a Social Message.

Justin Timberlake’s medley clocking in longer than I expected

N*SYNC, whoa!

Definitely the night of JT. (Uh, where’s Jessica Biel?) He is the recipient of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. 

Congrats.

Same Love performance by with Macklemore, Ryan Lewis and Mary Lambert plus Jennifer Hudson.

There's a story about the Philippines in The Atlantic and it's about some of the Filipino men's fascination with inserting "balls -- the size of M&M's -- underneath the skin in order to enhance sexual pleasure".  Under the skin of you-know-what.

I cannot get "the secret weapon of the Filipinos" idea out of my head (shocks, no pun intended!). What's also quirky: "When they (prostitutes) hear that Filipinos are coming, they're happy."

The story, published last August 9, is currently (as of Sunday, 10:40 AM Philippine Standard Time) number 2 on its 'Most Popular' tab.

P.S. I love the author’s wit. Have been following her writing trajectory (and her life adventures and heartaches as well) via her columns From Coffee To Cocktails ever since the last half of the aughts. So to pen a fiction in book form is in order. Back to reading.

Let's Talk About Sh!t

Disclaimer: TMI.

Whenever I don't do it, I would feel like that thing I hadn't deposit. It = deposit, that = sh!t.

I used to deposit once a day. Every morning. If I don't get to do it or nothing comes out, I would feel conscious and sometimes grumpy all day.

Lately, I have noticed that I deposit not just once anymore but twice (one time last week, thrice, people, thrice, like I'm a toddler all over again) already. I do the second deposit in my workplace's nice-nice powder room/CR/whatever you call it. 

My ever-neurotic mind thinks the poo-poo thing is healthy it's happening me. It can mean that I am eating more/consuming more food. It can mean that my digestion is in a better tune. It can also mean that my metabolism has gotten more horsepower -- oh no, meaning I would not get the weight I badly need.

Do I need a nutritionist-dietitian? Are they the ones whom I should consult?

I saw the Signs

In some horoscopes,

I'm a Gemini; yet in some and according to my favorite astrologer Susan Miller, I'm a Cancer. Confused, eh?

Prince William was born on a cusp, too.

In astrology, June 21st falls on what is called a "cusp"; if you were born "on a cusp", it means "you will incorporate the energies of both signs."

Wow, to be Gemini/Cancer is like to have 3 bodies -- Gemini being twins, having dual nature + there's the personality of Cancer. ~Big deal.~

What I do? I read both forecasts.
