While the concern is now becoming a wordwide alarm as the Center for Disease Control (CDC)  has hightened the alert to 5, 6  being the highest for the Swin Flu to be declared as pandemic, the hotel heiress, seems to be clueless about the alarming spread of the H1N1 virus.

A paparazzo has caught up with Miss Hilton and asked her if she’s worried about the swine flu that is killing a lot of people in Mexico. The hard partying blonde has responded: I don’t eat that!

Haha

Check this TMZ video

At least she knows what a swine is and besides there are so many communicable diseases that she needs to worry about.

At this time, you might be one of the millions who were swooned by this middle-aged lass from Scotland.

Like any other celebrities, Susan Boyle has underwent the makeover phase.  From the “ugly duckling” to swan she has transformed.

Look at her now. Dyed hair, well-groomed eyebrows and she’s now sporting Burberry!

Sooner than later, she’ll have her first kiss.

I wish I had a talent like hers.

Rumor has it that Ms. California has lost the Miss USA title to Ms. North Carolina for one very controversial reason.

Carrie Prejean failed the expectations of the judges, particularly the openly-gay celebrity blogger judge Perez Hilton who personally threw her the question about her opinion on the legalization of gay marriage in California.

21-year old said:

“I think it’s great Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody there, but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be, between a man and a woman.”

First off, duh, since when did California become a country? Or she foresees that she’s gonna be thrown to another country about this “unsolicited opinion”

It is like a job interview, you are there to say what the judges or the interviewer would want to hear. They do not give a damn about your opinion seriously. So I would say, always finish off your sentence with world peace!

One good thing about this young lady is that she stands by her answer (and belief I guess). During her post pageant interview on Today show, she said that she’s never in between. Either you go for or against something.

I will give her that.

Here’s my two cents, morality and religion should never own a place in a beauty pageant. Do not go deeper than world peace.

I thank you!

I dropped by BDO E. Rodriguez right before my check up at St. Luke’s yesterday. It was my first time to deposit to that account since it was opened so I did not know that I had to write the serial number of every dollar bill that I will de depositing. So the teller asked me in a monotonic voice to scribble the digits to which I obliged.

Strike 1!

As I turned in the deposit slip she then asked me in the same tone to sign after the serial numbers.  I’m starting to feel ridiculed but I kept my cool.

She then punched in some codes and then as she scrutinized the paper bills, she mumbled that the other bill might no longer be acceptable anymore.  She then asked the other teller next to her if the bill can still be accepted.  The other girl said in an uncalled for teasing manner that it can no longer be accepted and that it can now be kept in the wallet as a souvenir.

Strike 2!

The teller asked me to fill out another form, the form that I have to get myself from the forms counter and guess what, I had to write down all the details.

Strike 3!

I still managed to kept my cool but I really felt humiliated more than annoyed.  The transaction was finished without the teller saying thank you. She just slid down the passbook and deposit slip to me.

I walked away in silence. I don’t wanna ruin my day but hey, I don’t wanna be a sitting duck!

I work as a Customer Service Representative and we are darn serious about making our customers happy. Last Monday, I called up a customer who wrote a complaint about our service.

I think it’s high time to shake the tree to get rid of dried leaves.
