the most GANDA EVER post of the YEAR

Again, another blog contest for the upcoming birthday of GandaEversoMuch.com. This time is a simple blog writing contest on the reader's most favorite GESM post.

Now, I am having a hard time choosing which of these hard hitting and funny posts is my ULTIMATE favorite. Before I discuss on the ULTIMATE GESM post favorite, let me share to you my choices.

GIVE KRIS AQUINO A BREAK

First things first, isang reminder sa mga nanlalait kay Kris Aquino:  Bago nyo linisin ang dumi sa mukha ng kapwa nyo, look yourself in the mirror at pansinin mong nanggigitata din sa dumi ang mukha mo.

Tao lang si Kris.  Hindi sya perfect just like you and me.  Ang kaibahan lang natin sa kanya – mas sikat sya at mas maraming commercials.  For all her faults at kaengengan, para sa akin, Kris ranks very high for me, vis-a-vis sa ibang artista na kung umasta eh parang santo pero nasa loob naman ang kulo.  I will have Kris Aquino, anytime, all the time.

This ranting took place just right after media made it official that Kris' brother is the newly elected president. Kris Aquino haters were hyping about her statement of leaving the country if she will become a burden to brother Noy, which was totally misunderstood by the hypocrites. Reading this was such a relief from all the negative press releases that Kris got that time. Yes, she may have her numerous tactless moments but hey nobody is perfect.

TIPS SA TALUNANG KANDIDATO

Now here's an election related post that is pretty useful, humorful and rumorful that I also liked. This post came out when it was pretty clear who won for the May, 2010 elections. Tips that are humorously helpful to some and a slap on the face to many. Again, Orman displayed a straight on your face truths and makes you remember that REALITY really BITES. Few of my favorites tips are as follows:

Huwag kang kampante kahit nangunguna ka sa survey. Pagsikapan mo na marami kang makakadaupang-palad.  Kung kakayaning mag-house to house, gawin mo.  Magparamdam ka sa mga tao.  Hindi pwedeng nagiinarte ka sa kampanya.  Hindi ka rin pwedeng feeling hari or reyna na pinipili lang ang gustong kausapin.  Araw-araw mong alamin ang pulso ng tao para hindi ka lalabas na nagulat sa resulta ng halalan.

Hindi napepeke ang sincerity. Kahit anong television ad pa ang gawin mo, mararamdaman ng tao kung tutuo nga ang mga pangako mo.  Bago pa man ang kampanya dapat naayos mo na ang dapat ayusin sa nakaraan mo.  Kung may mga pagkakamali ka dati at ito’y ibinuyangyang sa kampanya, umamin ka na agad and move on.

Piliin mo ang mga mag-eendorso sayo. Huwag na huwag kang pipili ngmayabang na itago natin sa pangalang Willie Revillame.  Enough said.

Malaki ang nagagawa ng pera pero hindi ito ang tanging paraan. Go ask Manny Villar.

WHAT WOMEN WANT, TIPS PARA SA MGA BABAENG MAY SYOTA, MAY SYOTA KA NGA EH HAPI KA BA?

Only three of the many posts of GESM that women can easily relate to. It is very obvious that the owner of GESM is a woman trapped in a chubby male body so I was expecting posts like these from him. Again, another slap on the face for the hard hitting realities that we often take for granted were presented on these features. A usual run down of  out of the box tips, tearjerker real life experiences and easy to read side comments make these post more interesting. What made me appreciate these posts more is the fact that they became a get together conversation topic among NETIZEN friends and most will agree that indeed they can relate to the things they read and are reading. Girls most especially found a KAKAMPI when it comes to dealing with relationships from Orman's posts. He may not be aware of it, but in a way he brought the message that girls with problematic love life is not all alone. Na hindi sila nag-iisa. What one is whining about are also the others rants.

1. 
   

   Don’t ever mention your ex-girlfriends. Huwag mag-compare.  Ibaon na sa limot ang dumaang babae sa buhay mo!

2. 
   
   

   Kapag magkasama kayo, give her your undivided attention. Turn off yourcell phone.  Don’t discuss your work with her and instead focus on spending quality time with her.

3. 
   
   

   Kahit saan ka man naroroon, let her know where you are. Either tawagan mo sya or magpadala ka text message.  At least di na sya magaalala.

WHAT WOMEN WANT

Easy lang sa pagti-text sa BF mo. Kung inaakala mong okay yung halos minu-minuto ka nang nagti-text sa kanya then I am telling you now to stop “harassing” him with your constant text messages.   Alam ko na gusto mong maging parte ng buhay nya pero huwag naman na pati sa mga oras na di kayo nagkikita eh gusto mo pang pakialaman.  Heto na lang para mas maintindihan mo ang buhay ng mga lalake – ganito ang usual na cycle ng buhay nila:  Gigising sa umaga.  Eebak.  Maliligo.  Papasok sa skul/trabaho.  Kakain.  Balik skul/trabaho.  Tatagay.  Uuwi.  Matutulog.  Uulitin ang buong cycle.  Ayan sige text mo sya habang umeebak sya, aber, kung sweet pa rin ang dating mo.

TIPS PARA SA MGA BABAENG MAY SYOTA

1. 
   

   Madaling mairita. Kung dati eh uber-uber ang pasensya para sa isa’t isa, ngayon konting kibot lang eh iritado na agad sila.  Lahat may meaning na.  Yungmeaning eh negative pa.  At lahat ng ginagawa ng syota pinupuna na.

2. 
   
   

   Mas accommodating sa ibang tao. Pansinin nyo — kapag ibang tao ang humiling, very accommodating sila pero kapag syota na nila ang naglalambing, pabagsak na agad ang boses and nakakunot na ang noo at nagpapang-abot ang mga kilay.

Greetings for GANDA EVER

Who in General Santos have not heard the name ORMAN MANANSALA? The BANKER, the chubby SOCIALITE(ehem), the original FESTIVAL QUEEN (Even the non-netizens know him through the successful events he mounts annually) and for those who can read this we now know the BLOGGER Orman. 


I am an avid reader of GenSan News Online Mag, I also got hooked with PLURK, if you are quiet active with these two, you would not surely miss this lipstick wearing frog icon on your screen. When Sir Orman first announced that he got a new blog, I am one of those who first clicked his link. 

Masyadong serious....








Seeing GandaEverSoMuch.com , for the very first time is refreshing. The poetry-like writing captured this lazy reader in me and from then on I knew visiting this page will be a roller coaster ride.


GandaEverSoMuch is like a LOCAL CHISMIS engine that can be likened to PEP(Philippine entertainment Portal) highlighting the TELEDRAMATIC life of the owner ofcourse. Sino ba namang tsismosa ang hindi mahahalina sa mga kwento at nakakalokang rebelasyon ng may AKDA?... Di nga lang ako madalas magCOMMENT lalo na sa mga personal issues na pinoPOST niya kasi di nga naman kami gaanong close ni Ganda Ever. 


Hard hitting reality tips and write-ups, especially when it comes to relationships makes me come back for more. I often link those type on my FACEBOOK account and most of my friends like it that often draw up chat conversation among long lost friends. In short, Ganda Ever loyal readers will always have a juicy topic everytime they will get together. Oh dibah, bringing FILIPINOS worldwide CLOSER ang drama.


There you go! Plain and simple! Ayokong lumaking sobra ang HEART ni Ganda Ever. Ilang araw na din siya nag EEGO tripping kakabasa ng mga BLOGPOST niyo. (peace Sir Orman)


Happy birthday to this INFLUENTIAL BLOG EVER!

May NagText: VICE GANDA live in GENSAN

Before she made it big at Show Time, I had been a big fan of Vice Ganda even following her in Youtube and trying not to missed her rare TV Appearances.

To those of you who does not know, Vice Ganda already paid the Generals a visit sometime October last year. I never missed that chance of watching her live and free at KCC Mall of General Santos. (Click this about that stint) 

Vice Ganda's First Show in General Santos City at the KCC Mall

From that day on, Vice Ganda had been a staple in every household here and abroad. To prove her popularity, Vice Ganda's followers on FaceBook reached millions in less than a month and even  filled the Araneta Colisuem on her first ever Major Concert tagged “May Nag-Text…Yung Totoo: Vice Ganda sa Araneta!” early this year.

A super duper big thanks to the kind hearted producers MANIO EVENTS MANAGEMENT , for they are bringing Vice Ganda back to the city by the bay as Bariles put it himself. Oh yes. We will be seeing Vice Ganda live and in flesh on June 27, 2010 at the Lagao Gymnasium people. I know you've been waiting for this. So do not miss the chance. Go and check out  “MAY NAG-TEXT! MAY SHOW AKO?” LIVE IN GENSAN.

It sure is a night full of laughters and aching stomach with Vice Ganda on the 27th. May have mentioned that "With Kean of Callalily present as an icing to an already delicious cake will surely complete the set", but instead of Kean, Glady's Reyes*  will be replacing him.  Its a date then. Save up and treat yourself with a very worthy artist. You may choose among the following ticket prizes:

                      -  P250 (General Admission)

                - P500 (Lower Box)

                - P750 (Courtyard, Back Portion) 

                -  P1,000 (Courtyard, Front Portion)

Hugs and kisses to Bariles Republic for a FREE invite ;)

Special thank you as well to all the sponsors: Asia United Bank, Red Trellis, Rachero Grill and Restaurant, Pablo's, Paseo del Sol, Microtel Davao, Kiko's, MP Princess Digital Printing Solution, Family Country Homes, ABS-CBN, 94.3 Easy Rock, Brigada, K101 FM Love Radio and 98.3 Home Radio.

*Gladys Reyes got her popularity from a long running soap opera that made Judy Ann Santos Known as well, remember Mara Clara? Gladys is one of our favorite kontrabida in Phillippine Television. She was also once played kontrabida against Vice Ganda at SHOWTIME. If you enjoyed Vice's and Gladys' antics at showtime they sure will be enjoyable to watch on stage.

BEEN TO: BAGUIO

Breaking away from the hellish heat, I had the chance to have an almost week-long reclusion in the country's Summer Capital. From warm or shall I say beyond hot weather im used of, Baguio is such a SWEET ESCAPE.


From the airport, my group directly went to the Bus Terminal bound for Baguio. The 8-hour bus ride was tedious. For 1st timers, I would recommend you to sleep while your still in the Metro so that you'll be wide awake when you reach the Provinces you'll get to pass by, the likes of Pampanga, Pangasinan, Tarlac and La Union to name a few.


One of the locales said that we're lucky cause we just came on the right time for it is somewhat warm in Baguio. WARM? They consider it warm when I cannot even go out without my sweaters on? Well obviously, I am not just used of this kind of weather makign me wish that I can bring some of the climate back home.


On your first step of Baguio, you'll be welcomed by the cool breeze that will surely sink on your bones.


From the bus stop, if you are a total stranger with the place, transient inns will do for you but if you are going with a group better contact our guy KUYA ERNIE for he will not only provide you with a ride but can offer good lodging deals like the one we stayed.


When in Baguio, make sure not to miss these places:




Botanical Garden


If you want to be one with nature, the peaceful and green ambiance of Botanical Garden will surely be appreciated. Sitting inside the serene park, surrounded with tall, green and luscious trees, would  make you thank GOD for HIS wonderful creations. Expect to be welcomed by the "Katutubo" as you get inside, you have to pay them though if you want your photo taken with them.

The Mansion


          Make Sure not to miss to have your photo taken with the Mansion as the background. The Mansion for those of you who does not know serves as the Summer Crib of the President of the country and their family.

Burnham Park

 Just right in the Baguio's busy center, looking for this place is not a hassle. A walking distance from the Market place and SM Baguio, it is nice to take a walk while enjoying the cool breeze and scenery in Burnham Park. You can also have a boat ride to add a romantic set up to your trip.

SM Baguio 

The only non-air conditioned SM Branch in the Philippines, I really love the idea of strolling and window shopping inside an environment friendly mall. Just imagine having your hair blown while your waiting in line at the cashier.

Mines View Park

Mine View Park is the a shoppers haven. This is where you can have great finds that you can bring home. Make sure to wear a comfortable pair of shoes or slippers sot hat nothing can stop you from your shopping spree. From knitted wardrobe selection to bottled Baguio delicacies, a visit to Mines View will not fail you. 

Strawberry Farm at Benguet

30-minute ride away from the City, another worthwhile experience thatyou should not missed is the strawberry picking. In a minimum amount, you may pick strawberries as many as you want. But if I were you I will not pick numbers of them if you wont be able to finish them all in a day. They easily get spoiled. Better bring home processed strawberries (e.g. jams)

Do not also miss and visit PMA and while your on your shopping spree try checking out the Baguio Market for some Ukay-Ukay.

MSU Bar OpS '10- THE GREEN NIGHT!

Bar Examinations for 2010 is Four Months away!...

Bar Exams comes with Bar Ops.

If you have relatives or friends who are taking bar this year, am sure you know what Bar Operations is.

Meanwhile, for the benefit of those who have no idea:

Bar Operations is usually a Law School organization composed of student volunteers who are tasked to provide logistical and academic support to schoolmates who are going to take the Bar Examinations. The Volunteers who are called Bar Operators together with their school takes good care of the Bar Takers  until the last day of their Bar Examinations. The BarOps encourages fervent spirit and unity among barristers and law students to protect the glory and reinforce the pride of their school.

In General Santos City, the only school that offers LAW is Mindanao State University, while a review center was recently put up by HOLY TRINITY COLLEGE.

The officers of the College of Law Student Association handles the Bar Operations every year. This year, the MSU-CLSA will be having a fundraising event for the Bar Operations 2010.
