    Mahilig sa pala sa games si PNoy. Tuwang tuwa o, parang musmos na nakawala sa hawla. 😛

    Buti naman at enjoy si PNoy sa tapik ni Barry at paglalaro. I hope he is refreshed and energized to make the best decision to follow the IIRC recommendations.

    Ngiti pa lang abnormal na… sabi ni obama abnoynoy ikaw ang magiging tea boy ko dahil yun lang ang alam kong kaya mo.

    Siguro na-iinggit lang tayo sa magandang nilaro niya. May krab, krab mentality pa naman tayo. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  5. chi chi

    Sweet si Obama kay PNoy….ano kaya comment ni Mrs. Horny ngayon? 🙂

    NFA rice. Look at the location – Cupertino, California.

    wow! Looks like Noynoy the kid in an adult body just handed his first set of toy. can not hide his eagerness and happiness.

    The body language looks like Obama treating Pres. Aquino III like a kid. Like – good boy good boy with the tapik-tapik. Hope not.

    If running RP government where like a video game we surely would be in very good hands. Unfortunately running a government is serious business.

    Yes, its good our President is enjoying playing the video game. Definitely he’ll be energized when he returns to RP. Baka may dala siyang bagong video game set from HP. i-install sa malakayang para play and play.

  9. personally, driving games are boring…unless its grand theft auto where you get to kill hookers…mas maganda pa rin ang starcraft latest version demanding nga lang sa video card…but there are also strategy games that makes use of your know how in economics, timing, and planning, and of course decisiveness…but these are just games…in the real world, there are spectators, there are backseat drivers, and there is no option to “start game again” if you fuck it up… 🙁

    for people who look at body language for a living (malaking pera yan), this looks good, eye eye contact, the “tapik” is lowered (below the shoulderblade level), this means the american wants something…
    …our boy should ditch the defensive cross hands stance though for an open one to give way for assertiveness and make his eyes less wider (squint a bit)…then again, sincerity will do the work…but impression management gets us more money…

  11. i think mas matindi pa magbatikos ang mga amerikano sa presidente nila…hindi nga lang nila pinapahiya sa ibang bansa…

    btw…please buy Joel Rosenberg books, published by OMF, ie Epicenter, the Last Jihad, Ezekiel Option, The Revolution – they are locally printed but the quality is at par with Penguin, Little Brown, etc…the content is gripping, and look at the paper, exquisite, bulky but light, the texture, body, and scent – can only be appreciated by those who have a love affair with books…also, Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren – sa atin din printed.
    Mabuhay ang gawang Pinoy!

    oo nga, sana dito na lang gawin mga games na yan din…at sana may dala siyang mga job opportunities para sa mga taga pinas para mas lalong maiinggit itong mga krab na to… hehehe

  13. Destroyer Destroyer

    Laging may job opportunities sa pinas lalo na ngayon kay abnoy dadami talaga sa administrayon niya… kaya nga lang puro mga snatcher, holdaper, theft, budol-budol, corruption, atbp.

    Magtrabaho ka ng husto abnoy hindi yung puro ka dakdak. Lahat ng mga agenda mong kakainan sana sa US puro palpak.. papansin si panot.

    @saxnviolins, TonGuE-tWisTeD

    kaya pala feeling at home siya . sana video-game na lang ang Pilipinas

    mainam pa ang isang taong “Baliw”, marunong tumawa at umiyak, datapuwat, ang isang TAO na hindi man lang naging masaya o ngumiti kahit isang saglit sa kanyang buhay… ano siya? hindi TAO.

  16. petite petite

    Ano ba ang pakay ng pagpupulong ng US-ASEAN?

    Ano ang “highlight” sa maigsing 7-minutong pag-uusap nina P.Noy at Obama? at bakit natalakay ang paglilinis ng tone-toneladang di-nabulok na pang-digmang materyales, na, naiwan ng US of A noong WW2 doon sa Corridor? meron pa nun… hindi ko alam iyon ha?

    Ano ang perspektibang-pananaw nito, sa ekonomiya at militarya ng rehiyong ASEAN, sa pangkalahatan; sa Pilipinas, sa partikular?

    Nagtatanong po, maraming salamat…

    Buti nga tapik lang at hindi kalabit. Kapagkalabit yan tiyak matsitsismis yang dalawang presidenteng smokers. 😛

    He he he, masyado kang palabiro Igan Chi…tuloy pinag-isip mo ako ng malalim ah?

    See, video game lang pala ang panglibang kay PeNOY ah…wise talaga itong si Obama, di na mahihirapan pang mangumbinsi pag may gusto siya sa Pinas.

    Wow. $1 Billion in investment (for expansion) from Coca Cola.

    http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/09/27/10/aquino-43650-new-jobs-us-investments

    Mayroon ding $1 Billion produced earlier by the Glue from Coca Cola, to be invested over the next few years:

    http://www.pia.gov.ph/?m=12&fi=p100602.htm&no=89

    Samakatuwid, $2 Billion na ang ilalagay ng Coca Cola sa Pinas?

    Or is it only $1 Billion? Maybe we should credit it equitably – $500 Million for the Glue, $500 Million for Noy. As I said earlier, in regard to the Glue, are the investments due to the President’s efforts, or would Coca-Cola have invested in the PI regardless weder weder the President is the Glue, the MacaPuno, or Mar Roxas?

    It is now the morning of the 28th in the Philippines. Ngayon na malalaman ang decision on the Brothers in the Craft, Danny Lim, and Ariel Querubin, as well as the other men who have worn the uniform honorably.

    The Chief of Staff, it appears, is also a traveller. That gives me hope.

    mukhang simpleng tao lang si President Aquino…walang yabang at hindi naninira sa iba…may mga tao na ang business na gusto ay maninira .. to destroy…anong say mo Mr. Destroyer…can we have pece for a change?….sa ating mga Catholics in the month of October..we celebrate the feast days of many saints who are particularly associated with peace making….Oct. 1..St. Therese of Liseux; Oct 2: Holy Angels; Oct. 4…St. Francis of Asisi; Oct. 7 ..Holy Rosary; Oct. 15: St. Teresa of Avila; Oct. 28: St. Jude (also the anniversary of this blog site..how many years na ba Ellen? we really have a lot to be thankful..hindi ba? ang sabi nga ni St. Francis of Asisi…Lord, make me an instrument of your peace….we all can be..tayo ang pagbabago…so let us begin the beguine…and we all say..ako ang simula ng pagbabago…and Let there be a peace..the peace that was meant to be for us all in the world and more so for us here in the Phil..

  24. Galing kay Mike Valbuena:

    Pagdating ni P-Noy katulad ni Gloria tuwing dumating mula sa biyahe pinag-yabang ang mga “pangakong investment” nang mga dayuhang negosyante. Sa mga pinagyabang ni Gloria meron bang inventaryo sa mga “investment” daw na gagawin dito sa Pilipinas? o meron bang nagkatotoo sa mga “mamohunan” baga sa bansa?
