If you’re looking for a fun holiday or weekend away with friends then London should definitely be near the top of your list, especially if you are looking to splash some money around and enjoy the finer things in life. If you require some more affordable, but none the less luxurious accommodation, then hoteliers such as Millennium Hotels are a good option, with locations scattered across London in some of its most exclusive areas.

To fully explore the city staying in a central location is a must; the city is so vast that you can use it as a base from which to dart about on the (usually reliable) underground transport network.  What’s more, with the summer Olympics and Queen’s Jubilee both set to take place in 2012, there really has never been a better time to visit.

Here are some of the top attractions to visit on any break in London;

1. Possibly the best place to start a lavish holiday would be in a swanky Mayfair hotel London from the likes of Millennium Hotels, which often include some of the finest dining opportunities. The sheer variety and quality of food available is world class and unbeatable.  Claridge’s is probably the most iconic hotel in Mayfair, and their afternoon teas are simply irresistible.
2. Kensington is home to some of the finest museums in the world including the Natural History Museum, Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum each a home to history, science art and culture.
3. Chelsea has some of the finest shopping in the world available with many top brands represented in the shopping areas of King’s Road and High Street Kensington, not to mention the world famous Harrods department store.
4. The Royal Albert Hall (pictured) often hosts the world’s biggest and most popular musical and cultural talent, with acts ranging from world renowned artists to comedians, operas and plays. No matter when you visit the Royal Albert Hall there is always something incredible happening there.

5. If you are seeking an evening’s entertainment then head to the West End to catch a play or musical; We Will Rock You, Billy Eliot and Les Miserables are three of the most popular. Just remember to book your tickets in advance through your hotel or online; ticket prices for the top London shows command a big premium when purchased at the last minute.
6. Visit the Olympic Park in Stratford.  The London Olympics run from 27th July to 12th August.  Even if you’re visiting before the Games kick off you’ll still be able to experience some of the Olympic Spirit by paying a visit to the site.  What’s more, with London set to be on show to the rest of the world, many of the city’s parks and open spaces have been done up in preparation; Victoria Park in London’s east end is one popular open space to benefit.

Hello friends of Manila Gay Guy,

For some time now our friend and fellow Fabcaster, AJ Matela (of “Bakla Ako, May Reklamo” at http://baklaako.com/) has been quite sick. Upon the advise of doctors, he has resigned from work and is now focused on getting his body back in shape. But he’s finding out the hard way just how tough this battle is going to be.

Some time ago AJ contracted mycobacterium avium complex. Nodules have been discovered in his lungs, and he has been coughing a lot. Immediate treatment is necessary to halt the spread of the disease. It means he needs to submit himself to several lab tests plus new multiple medicines on top of the daily ones he’s currently taking.

On Aug. 18, 2011, just after lunch, AJ was rushed to the emergency room. He has difficulty breathing on his own; on top of that, he has diarrhea. His weight has gone significantly down. AJ is currently confined in Medical Center Manila along UN Avenue.

All this time he has relied only on his family and relatives for help. All this time he’s kept details of his medical condition to just them. But it has now reached a point when help from relatives, generous as they have been, is not enough. Because he has resigned from work, he doesn’t have any health card to bank on.

All his life AJ has always prided himself on being self-reliant and self-sufficient. But now he realizes that he cannot do this alone. So now, as close friends of AJ, we turn to you for help.

Friends, at this point we appreciate any and every assistance we can receive. And with God’s help, plus your generosity and prayers, we hope for AJ to bounce back soon. You may deposit your financial support through the following accounts:

Account Name: Ariel James Matela

or

Thank you for your help.

1:43, a Filipino OPM boy band with a K-pop streak finally invades the Internet!

Words spread like wild fire all over the Internet of this said new boy group that made even Justin Bieber squeel like a rabid fangirl. Even the popular and award winning blogs such as Technogra.ph, Noisy, Noisy Man and GameOPS have changed their SEO keywords and meta tags to everything 1:43 related!

Don't be a loser and act now! Spread the word and join the 1:43 cult!

I found this really funny that I just had to share it.

Ghost shit
The kind where you feel the shit come out, but there is no shit in the toilet.

Clean shit
The kind where you shit it out, see it in the toilet, but there is nothing on the toilet paper.

Wet shit
The kind where you wipe your butt 50 times and it still feels unwiped, so you have to put some toilet paper between your butt and underwear so you won’t ruin them with a stain.

Second Wave shit
This happens when you’re done shit-ing and you’ve pulled up your pants to your knees, and you realize that you have to shit some more.

Pop-A-Vein-In-Your-Forehead-shit
The kind where you strain so much to get it out, you practically have a stroke.

Gassy shit
It’s so noisy, everyone within earshot is laughing.

Drinker shit
The kind of shit you have the morning after a long night of drinking. Its most noticeable trait is the skid marks on the bottom of the toilet.

Lincoln Log shit
The kind of shit that is so huge you\\\’re afraid to flush without first breaking it into little pieces with the toilet brush.

Corn shit
Self-explanatory.

Gee-I-Wish-I-Could-shit shit
The kind where you want to shit but all you do is sit on the toilet and fart a few times.

Spinal Tap shit
That’s where it hurts so badly coming out, you would swear it was leaving you sideways.

Wet Cheeks shit (The Power Dump)
The kind that comes out of your butt so fast, your butt gets splashed with water.

Liquid shit
The kind where yellowish-brown liquid shoots out your butt and splashes all over the toilet bowl.

Mexican shit
It smells so bad your nose burns.

The Surprise shit
You’re not even at the toilet because you are sure you’re about to fart, but oops…….a shit!!!

The Dangling shit
This shit refuses to drop into the toilet even though you know you are done shit-ing it. You just pray that a shake or two will cut it loose.

My medicine is slowly dissolving in water – it bubbles up as it leaves a sour scent. I find it beautiful. I can't help to think that I wanted to exchange place with it. I wanted to bubble up beautifully like that too. But more to it, I wanted to also dissolve slowly in water – that after it dissolves completely, there wouldn't be anything left. Like a mermaid when it dies, it would turn into sea forms and would just be apart of the sea.

Jingle Bells song by a 5 year old kid:

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
HEY!
Old dust pan, electric fan
Kaldero at pinggan
HEY!

I literally rolled on the floor laughing hard! XD

I saw a baby lizard. It was beside my bathroom mat. It looked like it just hatched from an egg – that small. It's tiny and white and cute. I wanna squish it, I wanna squish it, I wanna squish it because it's cute.

I kicked the mat pushed it a bit but it didn't seem to move. I kicked it again and it moved but I wasn't sure if it's just because I kicked the mat. I kicked the mat again and it moved a little bit again.

I was restraining myself really hard not to step on it. I kept telling myself, "leave it alone, leave it alone." But at the back of my mind, I kept thinking, "I wanna squish it. I wanna squish it." Even until now, as I type here, I'm still thinking of wanting to squish it.

I wanna kill it. I wanna kill it. I wanna kill it. I wanna kill it. I wanna kill it. Because squishing it makes nice sounds and killing it is fun. ♥

A marriage license should be just like a passport or driver’s license. If we are not interested to renew it, then it expires. We are tough women, we will fight for our right to be free from the bondage of marriage.

— Margie Tajon

Above all else, your party list has the LAMEST of lame name EVER, in the history of mankind. It's called "1-ABAA" which is short for "1-Ako Babaeng Astig Aasenso," for the sake of those people who are interested.

On to the main topic, a marriage license, my dearest Ms. Margie Tajon, can't be compared to a passport or a driver's license. Having a husband is not just like having a new car to "ride on" and throw it away when you found a sexier and better car for your taste. And a family, for the love of all things, is not just some "luggage" or "extra trash" along the way.

If you don't wanna get married, then don't get married. Live-in couples are very common in this day and age. Just quit thinking of these ultra idiotic ideas. If, you just can't get the idea of  "til death do us part" off your shit, try proposing another DIVORCE law. You'll never know when the bishop would actually agree to it just because it's already getting annoying. On that note, I still think that the Church should just shut up about these laws since government and the Church will always be different.

You may not want your husband, but there are people who wanted to get married too. And could you image how many people wanted to a have a "family" but can't? There are tons of people out there who would appreciate the things you throw away, and if only they could, would rather take it out of your hands happily.

R-18 — probably.
