A social experiment too cute to pass up. I appreciate Jewel as a singer and songwriter as years pass. Along with the Paris Hilton campaign video, this one, for me, is a classic via funnyordie.com.

I posted to my Blogspot blog a few minutes, of an entry that took all day to finish only to discover that Blogger/Blogspot had been having troubles with uploaded images in what it calls "image backend problems" since late March 2010.

No, it hasn't been resolved and I did post to Blogger's support forum just before this Posterous entry, thus:

"Posted an entry a few minutes ago and did a work-around:

uploading the image to a 3rd-party image hosting site from Blogspot's image source, then linking the image from the 3rd-party site into the post in the hope of circumventing Blogspot's "backend" problem but I still got a blank space where the image is supposed to be.

Otherwise, all other images and videos in older posts appear fine.

Hope the problem is resolved very soon."

FYI.

Just happen to see the moon rise from the kitchen door just a few degrees higher than treetops. Awesome. Check it out. 616pm.

The Philippines finally gets a limited edition Moleskine notebook called MyPilipinas moleskine in both pocket and large sizes: a result of the collaboration between iconic Philippine shirt brand Collezione, under its Collezione-C2 line headed by its Creative Director Rhett Eala and Moleskine.

I say it's about time. And what better company to offer it locally than Collezione, a local apparel brand known for its durability and dependabilty. Yes, that's right, "dependability". In the 80s, it was the shirt of choice one could wear for many types of informal events. Its clothes were flexible and functional. It was the quiet and comparable counterpart of the imported designer sports tops at the time: Lacoste, Fila, Polo Ralph Lauren, among others, that were the trend especially among the elite.

The Collezione line was in the classic mold. If one were to wear a shirt or skirt today dating back to the 80s, it would still be "now".

Forward to the 21st century and Collezione was re-energized by its "MyPilipinas" line under C2 by Rhett Eala which features the Philippine map prominently on shirts and tops. Launched sometime in 2008, C2's "MyPilipinas" line became the most sought-after wear and all-occasion gift item since.

Like the icon that is Collezione, C2's MyPilipinas line has helped solder its place not just in Philippine fashion but fashion as lifestyle.

It is therefore appropriate and timely that C2 collaborate with the timeless Moleskine notebooks for its Philippine edition. What better time than now.

MyPilipinas Moleskine pocket Php 995.00
MyPilipinas Large Php1,450.00
Available at C2 stores and National Bookstore branches
MyPilipinas Moleskine site collezione-c2.com

*4,800 units of this edition were produced. Moleskine's biggest shop-in-shop outlet in the Philippines will open in April 2010 at National Bookstore' Greenbelt3 branch*

It is insightful. It is funny. And it is true.

And funny how the old world/new world, old world vs. new world concepts were just discussed by Nicky Perlas at the tete-a-tete.

Christian-Muslim conflict is not religious but includes social justice, equal opportunities, land.

Is supportive on the MOA on ancestral domain; bet. MILF and the government. The difference being to make the process more public (the basis of the agreement).

Other points to follow.

Kudos to DA for taking in farm animals to the Albay Breeding Station in the wake of Mayon volcano's impending eruption.
