2 thoughts on Hayden Kho's sex videos

Thought #1 - From my brother.
Q: Anong klaseng camera ang iskandaloso? (What kind of camera is scandalous?)
A: "Hayden" camera (Hayden/hidden camera)

Thought #2 - From @bryanflurry: Hayden scandal vids is the new pokemon, gotta catch them all!


Apparently, Hayden secretly filmed more than Katrina Halili. Some news stories here talking about proliferation of Hayden-Katrina Halili sex videos, even Vicki Belo has her vid?, and a lot more!

Hayden is doing an Edison Chen.

I don't wanna post photos.

Making up words makes you look stupid?

Using similar logic, probability that an idea is good is inversely proportional to the number of made-up words...

Krispy Kreme - Glaze your friends for a free doughnut

Krispy Kreme is offering free doughnuts + coffee in exchange for your personal info (to send you "communication" presumably in the future).

So how do you do that?

1. A friend emailed me to visit chocolatekarnival.com and claim my freebies.
2. Enter your data to claim your freebies. But that's Step 1 of 3.

3. Spray it out to your social network contacts, or put in your friends' email.

4. An email is sent to you which you can print and bring to the store.

More foot traffic going into the stores also means a higher chance of purchase apart from the freebies they will give away.

I'll try and get my donut and tell you what happened!

Obama's impact on politics & social media: Even President GMA is on Twitter.

I am not a fan of the President of the Philippines, but I like her effort to become more visible in the social media space. She's @PresidentGMA on Twitter.

This move by our local politicians to put up presences in various popular sites was led and proven strongly by none other than Barack Obama, who won the US presidential election largely due to his groundbreaking internet campaign.

2010 is election season again. Philippine politicians are looking to reapply Obama's tactics. I hope they can reapply his brains and leadership instead.

International media pwned by student's fake Wikipedia quote. FAIL.

This is startling proof of how increasingly dependent traditional media outlets are on the internet, and how they are doing this without the proper checks and balances. An Irish student recently made up a fake quote in the Wikipedia entry of musician Maurice Jarre a few hours after his death. Although the quote was spotted and removed by the Wikipedia community within a few hours, dozens of media outlets had gotten the news and used it on their articles.

So far only The Guardian admitted their mistake.

While the internet makes things faster for everyone, that doesn't mean everything available is reliable. People - especially the media! - have to be vigilant.

FAIL.

I love to Singa - early Simon Cowell

Any person who loves cartoons should remember this lovable cartoon "I love to Sing-a" featuring a cute large-eyed Owl family.

According to youtube user bugzappers2112, "I Love to Singa depicts the story of a young owlet who wants to sing jazz, instead of the classical music that his German parents wish him to perform. The plot is a light-hearted tribute to that of Al Jolson's film The Jazz Singer.

The young owl, voiced by Tommy Bond, best known as "Butch" of the Our Gang (Little Rascals) films, is unjustly kicked out of his family's house by his disciplinarian violinist father (voiced by Billy Bletcher) after he is caught singing jazz instead of Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes to his mother (voiced by Martha Wentworth)'s reed (pump) organ accompaniment. (However she is not depicted as operating the pump pedals.) While wandering, he comes across a radio amateur contest, hosted by "Jack Bunny" (a pun on Jack Benny), and billing himself as "Owl Jolson", wins the contest, but not before his father has finally seen his son's potential and allowed him to freely sing jazz."


If you watch the video (embedded below) the judge "Jacky Bunny" reminds me of Simon Cowell.
I remember how I used to watch this when my age was still of 1 digit. I love how good old stuff get spread virally over the internet!

Making the jump from the corporate world to entrepreneurship

Are you thinking about jumping from the corporate world to entrepreneurship? Getting tired from being the proverbial "corporate slave"? If you say yes to these questions, then the succeeding content will be very interesting for you.

This is from a nice article from the AMEX OpenForum, entitled "How to escape Mundanity" an interview with Pamela Slim by Guy Kawasaki.

The article focused on several key questions you may have before making the career jump. I'm going to summarize each point as "twitter"-ly as possible.

Q1. How do you know when it is time to quit your day job?
A1. No perfect formula, but 2 signs: 1-realistic picture of your financial life + risks you'll take. 2- you've worked on your business as an aside from your day job.
My thought - I'm actually experiencing something similar right now on a startup... Maybe quit your day job when you begin to earn money that equals your day job. :)

Q2. But isn’t it crazy to start a business in this economy?
A2. This is an excellent time! Many people are sitting back in fear and afraid to move, that you actually have lots of room to step into new markets.

Q3. How do you decide which business to start?
A3. Passion (entrepreneurship is too hard to manufacture enthusiasm). Skill + competence. Business plan. Business model.

Q4. What is the very first step that I should take?
A4. Spend your time getting to know yourself.
My thought - not so pragmatic, but I guess it makes sense

Q5. By the way, should a person get started and then quit or quit and then get started?
A5. Get started and then quit

Q6. If you have limited financial resources, what is the best way to start a business?
A6. Start by testing and prototyping very small parts of your business.

Q7. Do you have to have a PowerPoint pitch?
A7. Not really. (if you're interested though, watch this vid.)

Q8. Do you have to have a business plan?
A8. You don’t have to have a complex business plan with thirteen attachments and spreadsheets, but you do need to engage in business planning.

Q9. What is the fastest way to build buzz about a company?
A9. Twitter, but it can't be your only tool

Q10. What if your spouse doesn’t support your entrepreneurial dreams?
A10. Demonstrate in big and small ways that you can follow through with plans, listen with openness and without judgment to concerns raised, and make a plan that feels like a reasonable amount of risk to both of you.

Q11. How do you find the time to work on a side business with a mortgage to pay and spouse and kids that need attention?
A11. Prioritize. When you are running on a very lean and efficient schedule and have a manageable list of weekly tasks for your business, you will make progress.

Q12. What is the most common mistake the “escapees” make?
A12. Thinking that they have to get all their plans absolutely perfect before launching.

What do you think?

Is Ricky Hatton a man? Is Manny Pacquiao a man?

I came across this funny blog while looking for Ricky Hatton - Manny Pacquiao related news.

This blog says that Ricky Hatton is a real man (tunay na lalake) while Manny Pacquiao is under consideration.

What do you think?

The case for Pacman
The case for Hatton

Things that sell good in the Philippines will be milked

Over at Manuel Quezon III's blog, I saw this very depressing article, about Customs suddenly imposing tariff on books like Twilight.

I have a short description for this: Things that sell good in the Philippines will be milked (by government)

"Stephenie Meyer’s novel “Twilight” apparently did so well in the bookstores that the number of copies being imported attracted the attention of a Customs official. Examiner Rene Agulan decreed that duties be paid. It seems that the importer of the book reacted in a manner familiar to most book lovers in the country: to eliminate the hassle, the importer complied with the Customs levy on the title."

This is the worst part: "Take the official’s interpretation of the following sentence in RA 8047 (the Book Publishing Industry Development Act): “the tax and duty-free importation of books or raw materials to be used in book publishing.” According to Sales, this lacked a comma after the word “books,” which meant that what was tax and duty-free was only books used for book publishing."

OMG.

Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao destroys Ricky Hatton

Pacman destroyed Hatton at 2:59 in the 2nd Round. Hatton looked like a rookie boxer fighting a champion.

Hatton looked seriously hurt after Manny's left hook (don't really know how to describe that punch - it came from below and hit Hatton's chin, but it doesn't seem to be an uppercut to me) landed. He just lay there on the ground, arms and legs stretched out.

It was a quick victory. This is a similarly quick post.

Britain's got talent: Susan Boyle and Flawless

update: I think Shaheen Jafargholi, a 12 year old singer, has a decent chance of winning as well. Amanda said she got the "goosebumps effect" from the kid. She felt this from Paul Potts and George Sampson as well, she said.

So far, the 3rd series of Britain's Got Talent has produced 2 internet sensations. (If there are more, let me know.) These 2 auditionees evoke differing feelings.

1. Susan Boyle - who can forget this reaction of Simon Cowell?
If you still haven't heard Susan Boyle, then you must be living in the stone age. According to itv.com, Susan’s rendition of I Dreamed a Dream already has 100 million video views, "making it the most viewed video clip on the planet… and all this in NINE days!" Here is of course Susan's hit audition video, and her less-mentioned Cry me a River.

Susan is a classic example of the very old saying, "don't judge a book by its cover" and I agree when Amanda Holden said, "I am so thrilled because I know that everybody was against you. I honestly think that we were all being very cynical, and I think that's the biggest wakeup call ever. And I just want to say that it was a complete privilege listening to that.

2. Flawless - An amazing dance group that reminds me of the Jabbawockeez. The only thing I'd say about them is their quote "chase the dream, not the competition!", because it's better if you just watch them here!

Flawless is an example of young, raw talent buckling down together to produce something amazing. This is something many young people can learn from, like me. I'm not a dancer but I'm trying that in my own venture.


I think Susan is a huge favorite to win the third installment of Britain's got talent, following the footsteps of Paul Potts, and George Sampson. BGT judge Piers Morgan does not think Susan is an auto-win though in his blog.

Before the internet, no one can gain fame this fast, no matter how much of an underdog success he/she may be. The internet can make or break a person in a couple of days.

Twitter > Google

Being a fan of Starcraft, I just watched the OSL finals on Youtube. After watching the series, I wanted to know if there was anyone else interested so I went over to Twitter search, and looked for OSL and saw quite a number of recent tweets (if I searched before watching, the results would've been spoiled.). As a comparison point, I also googled the term OSL but nothing useful came up - it seems like the latest Starcraft video on it was 2008. I had to make my search more specific by entering OSL Jaedong Fantasy (the players) before anything useful came up.

So, at least, when real-time is very important, Twitter will almost always be better than Google.

Why do people drink? Nice guess follows.

Surprisingly honest Nigerian scammer

Got this link from @Techcrunch on Twitter.
The text in the image is not readable, so here's the transcript. EPIC funny!

Mr. Robert Dutu says:
Hello
How are you?
Am Robert Dutu
I have a very important business proposition for your consideration.
Please can we chat on it?

Mike Nash says:
let me guess? You have millions of dollars you want to give me. But I won't get it. Instead, you will rip me off with advanced fee fraud.

Mr. Robert Dutu says:
you are right

Mike Nash says:
Well, appreciate the honesty

Mr. Robert Dutu says:
you are welcome
pleasure chatting with you
(icon of shaking hands)

Mike Nash says:
Good luck in finding an idiot

Mr. Robert Dutu says:
thanks man

Whether or not this conversation was conjured, I still find it very funny!

RIP Francis M

I feel sad that Francis M passed away, after a long battle with cancer. The Philippines lost a very talented artist and a fiercely passionate and nationalistic man.

Go over to his multiply sites francismagalona.multiply.com and happybattle.multiply.com and see how he is a person going through cancer and living life. My friend Paul also wrote a blog article about him, here.

Here is one of Francis M's most popular songs "Mga Kababayan."



Just today, a group of Filipino rappers performed a tribute for Francis. Very moving.
