Dramatically funny doggie

As if acting on cue, this dog responds to his human by nimbly changing his expression.

Our Russel Terrier mix can do something similar but not as quickly.


Dogs hardly fail to amaze.

The Xperia ZL Ad

This promo video for the Sony Xperia ZL is awkward. It's like a subtle way of criticizing its own larger sibling, the Xperia Z.



Here's the text of the ad:

The Sony design team has put their expertise into every corner, piece, and pixel of the Xperia ZL.
Introducing Omnibalance Design....
Symmetry in all directions.
Subtle, rounded edges and a natural hand-fit curvature.
The phone is precision engineered for a great viewing experience.
We took away all the UNNECESSARY hardware bits and optimized components and design to allow the brilliantly bright 5" screen to take center stage.
Spectacularly beautiful.
An advanced smartphone technology yet so compact it fits in your pocket.
Xperia ZL. 
Experience the best of Sony in a Smartphone.

So the Xperia Z has unnecessary components? The ad implies that the ZL is better because it got rid off the unneeded parts found in the device being primarily marketed by Sony Mobile as their 2013 flagship. Sony needs to hire better writers for their promo materials, I guess.

"Parent of the Year"



Alvin Capino
                                     
The phrase was mentioned by Alvin Capino. The "distinction" does not refer to him.
Translated in Filipino, the phrase can mean "PinakamaGULANG ng Taon." The most skilled amongst "magugulangs." Politicians are no-brainer top candidates.

Are You Going to Scarborough Shoal‽


Are You Going to Scarborough Shoal‽



Are you going to Scarborough Shoal‽ 
Farce play, siege, ruse, eery, no rhyme 
Remember me as the one nearest there 
That is a true belonging of mine 

Tell China to leave that place none of her dirt
Farce play, siege, ruse, eery, no rhyme
Don't take our oil, in that place don't lurk
Then don't claim to own what is mine

Tell China she has millions of acres of land
Farce play, rage, ruse, eery, no rhyme
A claim to our seas will simply not stand
Nine dashes won't make yours what is truly mine

Are you going to Scarborough Shoal‽
Farce play, siege, ruse, eery, no rhyme
Remember me as the one nearest there
That is a true belonging of mine

Amazing shortcut shirt folding technique

This one's quite old but I think it's worth reposting.  

It's popularly known as the Japanese t-shirt folding technique and it's been on the Internet since 2006. I'm just a little disappointed that it only managed to attract some 4.3 million views on YouTube (the video with the highest number of views).

It's a very useful and fascinating technique. I can say it's the reason I started folding my clothes. I never liked folding or organizing my clothes but I somehow made some "improvement" by learning to to keep my pile of shirts looking neat with the help of this simple and convenient folding technique.

Learn how to do it by watching the video below.


This ISS time lapse video of Planet Earth is out-of-this-world!


It's not difficult getting fascinated with photos and videos of space or views of our planet as seen from space. The video posted below, however, is simply a standout.

Watch and be amazed.

The amazing supermoon...walking

We've experienced supermoon some weeks ago. Now, here comes another amazing "phenomenon."

A 21-second YouTube video was posted July 5 featuring a top naked guy, a wet street, and an amazing performance comparable to supermoon awesomeness.

Watch how the guy performs a camera-trick-like version of the famous move commonly associated with Michael Jackson. He certainly deserves an advertising deal with some leading shoe brand.
