Curbside Stories

A little something to tickle your funny bones and imagination. Have a great day everyone!

I went to the mall after my MBA class to find a book recommended by our professor. Instead of finding it, this book found me. I have been following Ramon Bautista on Twitter and Instagram and my dear friend would update me of his new video uploads on YouTube. I find him funny in a sensible way. By the way, the book hopes to enlighten its reader on why his/her crush doesn't reciprocate the feeling. I bet this will be funny and really eye opening. Hahaha! If you buy the book, it comes with a notebook for you to take notes. You can also use it as a diary or a progress note of your courtship (if ever it will progress into something more than friendship).

I've just gotten home from a seminar and I had the slightest idea that I am in for a surprise. When I entered the bedroom, this is what I saw. My son is fast asleep... rather unusual because he never sleeps unless I am home. But, that is not the surprise... it's those Toy Story stickers on the wall! Our bedroom wall is already filled with his doodles and stick figures and I guess he got tired of looking at them so he decided to add Sheriff Woody and his gang. I took this photo a few days ago. My son is "having the time of his life"... lying on a pile of pillows, hands behind his head, and electric fan on number 2. He is actually watching his favorite DVD to date--Cars 2.  [Photos were taken using iPhone 4S and Instagram filters]

Photo from independent.co.uk It has been a bad Olympic moment for South Korean fencer Shin Lam for being defeated because of a defective timer. It was so bad that she  refuses to receive a special medal. Photo from g4tv.com. Divers who were photoshopped to appear they are doing the deed on the toilet. The Olympic pressure is building up and we can't blame the participants and the committee as well if they are a lot pressured than usual... let loose, guys. Even for a short while. Oh, and as of this moment China and US are tied with 30 gold medals and Japan with 17. Good luck to all the participating countries!

Ellen tries to narrate the erotic novel 50 Shades of Grey  by E. L. James. Hilarious! Hahaha!

I am sure it can also tame yours. LOL!

1. You will never fully understand a psycho. 2. Like minds aren't a pretty good pair... they will just bore each other nodding at each other. 3. Get out before it is too late (this applies in all situations). 4. You can say you are happy but your eyes won't lie. 5. There will come a time that you will cry about nothing, even if you are a man.

Imagine the Senate without her... it would be dreadfully boring.

Photo from  here . On July 20, 1969, as commander of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon. His first words after stepping on the moon, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," were televised to earth and heard by millions. But just before he reentered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark, "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky!" Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years, many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled. On July 5, 1995, in Tampa Bay, Florida, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26-year-old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had died, so Neil Armstron...

This is video is a guerilla marketing of Coca-Cola but it sure made me smile. The truck makes stop-by to various locations around Metro Manila. I just wish Coca-cola's Happiness Truck would drop by our neighborhood. Wouldn't it be nice to see first hand what will come out of that truck? Will they ever give a house and lot? The lechon coming out of the truck is the most hilarious and unexpected!

How's your Valentine's Day? I got a candy heart with cute little rosettes, chocolate and lots and lots of Valentine greetings today.  My son went to the mall with our grandmother and when he got home, he said he has flowers for me. I asked where are the flowers and he said it's inside his pocket. He put his hand inside his pocket and handed me the flowers that are, apparently, invisible. I took the invisible flowers and he gave me a kiss. He said the flowers are invisible because those are meant to be seen only by me. And instead of saying 'Happy Valentine's Day' he said 'Congratulations'. I wonder why he congratulated me. Haha!  In exchange of his flowers and congratulations, I gave him a bar of chocolate. Per usual, he had an ear to ear grin on his face.

It is so freaking cold and windy outside that my hair just got so tangled and messed up, a detangler became useless. Good thing I am not wearing a skirt. Sarah Jessica Parker is so freaked out here. Great legs you've got there SJP! And thank goodness you are wearing panties.

This happened while I was washing the dishes and my son was in the living room playing with his creepy crawler toys. My Son to Lizard: Go home now or else cockroach will eat you. My Son to Me: Mommy, the Lizard won't go away! Where does he live? Me to My Son: Don't worry he will go home soon. He lives just outside our house. My Son to Lizard pretending to be Cockroach: I will eat you, Lizard. Here I go! Funny sounds in the backdrop as if the cockroach is really eating the lizard... I should spend more time playing with my son and teaching him good stuffs because cockroaches don't eat lizards.  Last night, I tried to teach him The Lord's Prayer so that Jesus and Santa will be happy. He said, "I don't want them to be happy." I told him if they are happy, they will give him toys. He did not buy it, instead he said, "I already have many toys." He proceeded with the Prayer to the Guardian Angel and then said afterwards, "Jesus, please give...

Kids say the darndest things... No, it is not Bill Cosby's show in the late 1990s.  I say kids say the darndest things because my son said something that really amazed me and made me laugh. He's watching Monsters, Inc. when I asked him to hand me my hair clip from the cabinet. He immediately got up, reached for my clip and handed it to me. I said 'thank you' and I asked him what will he say next. I was expecting him to say 'welcome' but instead he said, ' maraming salamat sa Eat Bulaga !' (thank you very much to Eat Bulaga!). It's what contestants say whenever they win something from the show. Well, it's pretty obvious that my son's been watching a lot of noon time game shows. A few days ago, I asked him what's the title of the noon time drama he's watching and he said the title without hesitation. I guess I'll have to ask him what happened in the drama in case I miss an episode. Haha!

Haha! These made me laugh, cry and laugh some more. Good thing I do not enable the auto correct in my phone. THIS IS THE BEST! Damn You Auto Correct !!! Hahahahaha!

I encountered this funny captcha while typing a comment for a blog post that I liked. Haha! In Filipino, peste means nuisance. Am I a nuisance? Haha! More funny captchas here .

This Toyota Innova caught my attention this afternoon.  I was already tired after almost four hours of shopping when my eye had a glance of it from the inside of the jeepney we were riding.  It was traffic so I was able to get a photo of this really unique car.  It is unique because it has Louis Vuitton's logo all over it.  If you will zoom the photo, even the tissue holder on the dashboard is clad with Louis Vuitton.  I bet the owner of this car is so obsessed with the brand. I have seen tribal inspired prints, famous animes, sexy women and even Hello Kitty (looks awful) painted on cars but this is the first time I have seen a famous leather goods brand on a car.  I was not able to see the car seats, but I bet it also has LV on it. Why?

Even the shiniest and most glamorous Hollywood stars aren't spared of photo bombers.  Here, Gwyneth was photo bombed.  I saw this photo on E! while reviewing Gwyneth Paltrow's style through the years .  Haha!

Remember the 50 Questions post?  I will try to answer/accomplish it one question a day.  There are fifty questions so that means that this page should be accomplished in fifty days.  I have actually started four days ago about this but I put it in a separate page.  I thought it is best that I do it one blog entry per day instead of doing it in one page. Here are my answers in the past four days of the challenge.
