Marie Digby | Your Love

Her name was once the talk of men in my workplace, she's pretty, cute nice voice, hot are but a few of the descriptions they had for her, and I didn't bother or maybe I wasn't that interested. They battle on how to properly say her name I was quiet. And the day came that she was one of the few who is given the chance to have an album launch. May i present the name I wasn't even interested in and now proud to correctly state it as Ms. Marie Digby (Mari-ei).

eBay philippines plus kuponan a sure win deal!

Deal sites are very much appreciated nowadays, I must admit I am one of the many who check through them every so often to see if there's something interesting or if there's anything that I need which I could possibly get for a lower price. Yes I am an online shopper, I still remembered a few years back when I registered my first ever online shopping account with eBay.ph I was then super excited and had my purchases delivered in our office, the guard on duty got used to it that he would always tease me "ma'am may package galing abroad ka nanaman". I also thought of selling online but later on figured out I am more of a shopper.

BIG BOY Hotdog...something new: even better

I believe I am a smart shopper, when in the supermarket I make sure I only get what we need and I am one loyal consumer, if a product satisfies me for sure it will never be out of my list. Sometimes I don't even care what the price is as long as I know it's worth the quality.

Christopher Lao Official Statement | 04Aug'2011

The past few days have been very disheartening for me and my family.   As you know I have been a subject of a viral video that showed my helplessness during a trying moment.  As it stands right now, I have several hate pages in Facebook and Twitter  with hurtful and derogatory messages attacking my person.  The  reputation that I built the past years has been besmirched. A bad day  has now turned into wounded feelings and sleepless nights for me and my family.

I have been silent the past few days as I want this to go away soon but not before saying sorry and thank you to people who matter.

I would like to apologize for my behavior that was seen on nationwide television and now on the internet. It was unfortunate that I was caught on camera immediately after an overwhelmingly stressful mishap.

I would like to again sincerely thank those who braved the flood to help a distraught stranger like me. Their selfless act reminded me of how dependable Filipinos are in times of crisis.

Lastly, I would like to thank my family, friends and all of those who showed empathy, consideration and support throughout these trying times. You have given me strength and courage to rise above and be a better person.

Sincerely yours,

Christopher Lao

Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank

* I must admit, so far this is the most comfortable and stress free press con I've ever been.
Why? it's Ms. Eugene Domingo of course. I hate myself that I was late for the call time and was a bit shy to Flow. But then he said no worries, so I got my lunch a quick lunch that is since the press con as announced was starting in like about 5 min. Now I am excited for this movie, and I truly admire Ms. Eugene because of her talent and she is so smart... I hope people will get to watch the movie despite the heavy rains because for sure - money will not go to waste - pure talent at it's finest. Go Uge! *
