How to blow P10M in 48 hours
Despondent at losing William? The NY Daily News proposes the following alternatives.
HRH Carl Philip of Sweden
Juan: I can’t believe the top story in all the local news websites is the British royal wedding and not the resignation of the OMG (ombudsman).
Me: Because social-climbing is more fun than investigating corruption and the people are better-looking?
We asked our friend Carlo the pastry chef to pick the winners of our Blow 10 Million Pesos in 48 Hours contest. We said, “Use any criteria you like.” So Carlo used the following rules:
1. Sounds cute
2. Made me laugh
Yes, he picked them like a date. (He is not a charter member of Overthinkers Anonymous.)
“It was a tough job having to choose only two,” Carlo notes, “They were so hilarious. I was alone, laughing in my room.” The winners:
# 4 julesmariano. “He sounds cute, except for the name. (I’ve never had a crush on anyone named Jules.) And anyone who likes expensive watches must be cute. I wanna see his legs.”
# 21 lzlsanatomy. “This one is really witty. Made me laugh. A smart idea too, putting Willie on the spot.”
Congratulations, julesmariano and lzlsanatomy! You each get a pair of tickets to Kaos at Resorts World Manila on May 13, 2011. You can pick up your tickets any day starting Tuesday, May 3 at Wild Ginger in the basement of Power Plant Mall, Rockwell, Makati. Just give your usernames (Sorry, don’t have time to wait for your full names. Momelia, we’ll leave your Kaos tickets at the same place).
Thanks to Archie Nicasio and his staff at Resorts World Manila.
By the way cochise_miz, you can pick up your prizes for the LitWit Challenge at National Bookstore in Power Plant Mall, Rockwell any day starting Tuesday, May 3. Sorry for the delay.

Looks like Merci G. purposely picked this day to avoid being the biggest news and to keep other issues connected to her from being brought up, kasi kulang na ang airtime. May spillover pa ng Beatification news by Monday, so ano na?
If PNoy marries while in office, I’m sure maraming magko-compare nyan sa Royal Wedding (maipilit lang. I know. barf.). All the more reason for Noy not to tie the knot – while in office, at least.

am I the only one who goes for Andreas over Carl Philip?
Somehow, being the duchess of Varmland sounds too much like being the duchess of Farmville.

Carl Philip pa rin. :) Andrea is a regular club-goer, and partying isn’t my thang. Hindi kami magkakasundo. (para namang papatulan, ano?) Although being a royal of Monaco is appealing… isip… isip…
I also don’t mind being the Duchess of Varmville or Varmtown. Kung magbubukid ka naman kasama nyang guapong ‘yan, go na! It’s still not the worst title that the royal bachelor bunch can offer. To me it sounds better than being the Furstin von Thurn Und Taxis – parang Prinsesa ng R&E.
Hayy, Carl Philip. Legolas + Prince Charming fantasies… check! :)

I’ll go for Andrea Casiraghi. He may not have a title but I like him because 1.) his name is Andrea, 2.) he has great hair, and 3.) he looks angry.
