A Disappointment





US: Inverted Philippine flag was `honest mistake'


The U.S. government said Sunday it made an "honest mistake" when it displayed an inverted Philippine flag — which wrongfully signified that the Southeast Asian nation was in a state of war — in a meeting hosted by President Barack Obama.
The Philippine flag was displayed upside down behind President Benigno Aquino III when leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations met Obama in New York on Friday.

"This was an honest mistake," U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Rebecca Thompson said in a statement, adding, "the U.S. treasures its close relationship and close partnership with the Philippines."

The American embassy will find out how the "unfortunate" incident happened, she said.
Philippine foreign affairs department spokesman Ed Malaya said the government understood that it was "an honest error" that "should not detract from the true significance of the summit, which showed the unprecedented cooperation between the ASEAN and the U.S."

It was not immediately clear who pointed out the mistake. A photograph of Aquino sitting beside Obama with the inverted flag behind them was displayed on a government website Sunday but its caption did not point out the error.

During the summit, Obama discussed ways of bolstering economic ties between the U.S. and Southeast Asia as well as Asian regional concerns such as territorial disputes in the South China Sea and Nov. 7 elections in military-ruled Myanmar.

Rebecca Javeleau, 14, of Herdfordshire, England, learned that lesson the hard way after the birthday party invitation she posted on Facebook got a few more replies than she’d been expecting.

The World's Most Beautiful College Campuses




First on the list is Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio.

Mike Evans, a principal at Norfolk, Va., design firm Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas + Company, says to be beautiful a campus must have a "signature campus space as a carrier of the campus brand." At Kenyon College, that space is "Middle Path," a 10-foot-wide footpath that serves as the Gothic hilltop campus' central artery. More than just a trail, it's a village green for the tight-knit campus community. Sergei Lobanov-Rostovsky, who teaches 17th-century poetry at Kenyon, says the college, both isolated and pastoral, is "a small place to think big thoughts."

The Secret is in here ...


Folks, have you heard about “Asian Secrets”? It’s actually a new addition in the product line of Unilab.

(see product ad below):



Timely, my gf said she was giving up those brands she used to have so I better surprise her with this one.
A month or so, hey, I can’t resist her smile every time we hang-out. I think she found a new bff in Asian Secrets. Yes I can see the glow in her skin and guess what, she even insists me to try this one. Well, shouldn’t I?

(Asian Secrets is available at Watsons near you.)

Vampires Suck








Vampires Suck is a parody of the famous Twilight saga. For those who can't get away of a vampire themed movie, check this one.

The effort to have a good laugh is there, but still expect some annoying parts. DonFishies review from imdb.com wrote - Will anyone want to remember these films?
