From the forwarded SMS department --

Campaign to fight SARS:
1. Take 100mg Vitamin C
2. Take 1000iu Vitamin E
3. Take 500 mg Zinc
4. Drink green tea daily
5. Get lots of sleep
6. Pray.

I don't know if #s 1-5 will work, but isn't number 6 a given, with or without the virus?

According to my record company client, the Sexbomb Girls has beaten both the Songbird and the Megastar in terms of their recent albums' sales by a mile -- yes, in spite of piracy. Golly gee whiz.

Last week, Arn and I met with my close friend Naomi and hubby Vince who are here on vacation from SARS-free Vancouver. Sadly they can't make it back for our big day later this year as they had to schedule their trip to coincide with Vince's dad's retirement.

If I'm looking somewhat um, "full", in the pic, blame Yo and her (limited edition) apple crumble*.

*Yo is famous for her baked-fresh-in-Balete-Drive apple crumble. Every Christmas she'd be loaded with orders but my family was fortunate to receive complimentary pies every now and then. (:

Go nuts trying to figure out how the Flash Mind Reader works!

Note: I eventually worked it out after remembering a certain Math lesson in high school. (Leave a note if you want to know the trick behind it.)

Let's all pray that the SARS virus won't spread any further. Please read this document, especially the bit about prevention.

My computer is all better now, thanks to my Arn who carried the heavy CPU from the parking lot to the shop and back, and to the ever-reliable team at Senco Link who understands that any ailing machine I bring I always expect to bring home the very same day.

Thank you too, Joany and Zoo, for sympathizing with me. And Ninoy ha, hindi ito na-SARS (:

Happy Easter! Sorry for the silence but my 3-year-old G4 has contracted a virus and is currently on sick leave (Im posting from the family PC). If you sent me an e-mail and I haven't responded, well now you know why. Friends, the best way to reach me would be via my cell, thanks.

IF Arn and I were planning our wedding around a Rice Toppings theme, we'd most likely scatter Chinese take-out votives all around the reception area...

... and have Singkit do the catering hehe.

Wanna see other cute Asian-themed favors? [Go]

Is blue the new orange*? First there was Pepsi Blue which not a few people said reminded them of astring-o-sol (or worse, toilet duck). Now condiment magnate Heinz just recently introduced blue ketchup.

"Stellar Blue", they call it. Apparently Heinz already carries ketchup in other rainbow colors so yikes, what's left? "Squid Ink Black"?

*Food stylists, photographers, and even your home ec teacher will tell you that orange is the most appetizing color.

No, Arn and I haven't forgotten all about the Mirror Project. [Go]

By the way, we celebrated three wonderful years of togetherness today. (:

An old buddy of ours, in-demand TV commercial director Sid Maderazo is featured on HerWord this week. I've known him since the Pillbox days (Arn knows him from UPCFA pa), back when he was still a fresh grad eager to make it in the ad biz. Now he's one of the most sought-out directors in the industry -- just goes to show how hard work and talent can go a long way.

You film buffs might want to check out Film Movement, a subscription movie club that gives you the freedom to see newly-released independent films whenever and wherever you choose.

So what's your take on that "Living With Michael Jackson" docu?* This could be the 4-year-old Jackson 5 fan in me speaking but I am partial to his side of the story -- well, maybe except when he insisted that he's only had plastic surgery twice. The rest I can believe.

*The show was only aired on our shores last night, fyi.

Remember that early '90s brouhaha over the Disney animated movie easter eggs? Someone's compiled a list here.
