Cold
wind greets Arroyo visit to Japan
UNSPOKEN RULES of hospitality normally
define the behavior of host and guest. One of these
is the norm that an invited guest should not ask for
too much from his host.
Obviously, there is a lot of pressure
on the part of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who
was invited by Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko for
a state visit to Japan from Dec. 2 to 5, to make this
more than just an occasion for social climbing or a
ceremonial exchange of pleasantries.

Good
news and bad
The good news is that
the Absentee Voting Bill has already been passed independently
by the Senate and House of Representatives. The bad
news is that there are two versions, and both have differences
that are so vast it would require a colossal effort
to reconcile them.

BACK IN THE PHILIPPINES, when the
Siberian wind breezes against your face, you know this
much is true: it's Christmas time. Rustling leaves whisper
holiday nuances in your ear. Christmas bells hanging
in the Christmas tree jangle to remind you its time
to fill up Christmas socks.
Christmas shopping then becomes inevitable...

KALAT NA KALAT sa buong bansa ang
kontrobersiyal na VCD na “Dukot Queen”. Ito
raw sana ang launching movie ni Sunshine Cruz sa Viva
Films na hindi niya tinapos. Dalawang araw lang nag-shoot
si Sunshine kaya ang laman ng VCD ay 15 minuto na matinding
love scene nila ni Jay Manalo.

Mikee
in Jodhpur splendor
I ALWAYS WANTED to be like Mikee
Cojuangco-Jaworski. I mean she has almost everything.
She grew up rich and privilege. Manor-born. Who wouldn't
want to be manor born? She's smart (Ateneo- AB Psychology)
and gorgeous. But most of all, she oozes kindness. Her
simple smile can illuminate a room. Not all people are
blessed with such sparkling presence.
