Avoiding the Buzz 2

I promised myself (and my wife) that I won’t write about negative comments about TV personalities especially personalities on Philippine TV. I’ll make good my promise.

After watching the Pacquiao – Dela Hoya lopsided fight yesterday, I got so tired after experiencing an adrenaline high. I fell asleep and woke up at about 4 pm. I turned on the TV while making doubly sure I surf past ABS CBN’s the BUZZ. I had a satisfyingly restful siesta. I didn’t want to ruin it by hearing the voice of…oh well…I promised.

I received a text message from our beloved family doctor and friend. She texted:”What kind of crap is Boy Abunda wearing? Its a Galliano but looks more of a 168 (Divisoria Mall) item on him. Nakakairita (Irritating / Annoying)!”

I just laughed. I’m a fashion ignoramus and our beloved doktora has irreverent wit characteristic of fashion critics and exemplary fashionista acumen. After much resistance and gnashing of teeth, I held my breath and scanned The Buzz and saw what she was talking about. My comment? Manny Pacquiao outboxed Dela Hoya! I’d rather receive Manny’s left straight than risk a cerebrovascular insult looking at…oh well.

Whew…keeping my promise is really difficult. Lotus pose. Inhale…exhale…owmmmm…peace.

Avoiding the bUzZ…

On Sunday afternoons, I make it a point to avoid, at all costs, hearing the annoying voices of Boy Abunda, Cristy Fermin, and Jobert Sucaldito on their gossip TV show, The BUTT…I mean the BUZZ. My wife will sprint near the TV set and hit MUTE on the remote to make sure I don’t hear those malevolent voices. She’s that sweet. So, I just leave the room and let her watch all the show biz gossip and hilarious haute couture she can take lest i vomit inside my mouth.

I was just surfing the net and looking for funny videos. On YouTube, I watched this 2-year old wonder named Lily who can point the exact location of any country on her big map. This little girl and geography whiz who barely completes sentences and mumble the sounds of words can ACCURATELY pinpoint the exact location of Zimbabwe and other obscure countries you’ve never heard of (or at least I’ve never heard of).

Her mom and dad tells her the name of the country and she points where it is on the map without even hesitating. At one point, the mom asks her where Mexico is, and she promptly corrects her mom by pronouncing it as MEHIKO!

I think she’s on the MIB (Men in Black) watchlist. I have reason to believe she is an extra terrestrial humanoid with superior intelligence. She is amazing!

I bet her milk is melamine-free. My wife and I will find out what brand of milk Lily drinks. I have to drink some too!

Thank God for the internet. I was once again rescued from the tortures of Sunday afternoon Philippine TV.
