FHM October 2008 Cover Girl

Jean Garcia is looking hot and still alluring as she poses for FHM as the cover girl for the October 2008 issue. At age 39 with two children, Jennica and Angelo, she still manages to be an active actress in the Philippine television industry and at the same time take care of her youthful glow.

Cristy Fermin vs. Nadia Montenegro

Anyone who watched Boy Abunda's interview with Cristy Fermin yesterday at The Buzz must have been surprised with the shocking revelations she exposed. She revealed that Nadia became pregnant and husband Mayor Boy Asistio was not the father. Nadia then gave birth to a clinic (or was it hospital?) somewhere near Mandaluyong and Pasig where she pretended to be a Nadine Villegas. She left the baby in the care of a celeb friend but brought it with her at home days after and told everyone else that she was adopting the baby.

Another revelation but not a surprising one though was the "confirmation" that Nadia was spreading the rumors of Gretchen Barretto being kicked out by longtime partner Tony Boy Cojuangco from their house.

This was later answered by the angry Nadia at Showbiz Central saying that it was nothing but a lie. Like how can she get pregnant without being noticed?

DNA Paternity Test

Now that this controversial issue of a columnist exposing a shocking revelation about a celebrity getting pregnant outside marriage has occurred, I agree with everyone else’s suggestion – DNA Paternity Test.

This would at least end the questions whether the celeb’s hubby, a Mayor, is truly the father of that said baby or not. The good news is that they can do this in the comfort of their own home because At Home Paternity Test is made available by easyDNA.

Isn’t it amazing that dna tests can be done now at our own home, which means securing the privacy we need – whether it is to identify who the real father is or to clandestinely find out the answer to your haunting questions of your partner’s fidelity.

The benefits of this are that you can do this privately in your own home, it’s reliable, and very affordable. You don’t have to worry regarding the collection of samples because they provide a visual guide and their customer support team is readily available to answer your questions. 

For a low price of 190USD, you can already perform the testing at home just by following the simple instructions inside the kit provided. The detailed report of the result will then be available after 3-5 working days.

See how much I have learned today. All because of that gossip I have read – the squabbling between the columnist and celebrity – I was able to expand my knowledge regarding DNA Paternity Test.

Nouveau Riche

I have always admired Nouveau Riche people and their inspiring stories never fail to amaze me. This love for following the lives of rags-to-riches individuals started when I was a kid when my dad gave me a magazine featuring brilliant Nouveau Riche men and women.

The first time I asked my dad what Nouveau Riche means, he cited Henry Sy as an example. From a simple shoe salesman in Quiapo to a rich billionaire owning the biggest chain of shopping malls in the Philippines, which ranked him 14th richest person in Southeast Asia according to 2006 Forbes magazine.

Albeit at that time my dad wasn’t able to point out to me what Sy’s ranking in Forbes magazine was (I wonder what number he was in at that time), knowing a brief summary of his story already gave me a clear picture of what Nouveau Riche means.

When I came across the article “The Billionaires 1991”, I couldn’t help but be more inspired. The one on the list whom I’m sure everyone recognizes is William “Bill” Gates III who grew up from upper middle class family and a Harvard dropout in 1975 but now considered as the richest American.

They are just two of the many exceptional Nouveau Riche persons whose stories are moving and inspiring. Their extraordinary entrepreneurial ideas have made them who they are and made them living proofs that one can really make it happen.

Need Legal Assistance?

Ignorance is dangerous especially if you're held up in a situation where you feel helpless. That's why it is significant for a citizen to know his/her rights. Like how would you know if police authority already violated your rights if you don't know what your rights are in the first place. I'm certain there are people, particularly those with loved ones who have ben arrested or facing charges, would want to end the perplexity they're going through. Unanswered questions like "What do I do?" and 'Where do we start?" are signs that you need legal assistance and counseling. An important thing to remember is to ask help from the pros themselves - Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney | California Criminal Lawyers.

Playing Poker

I still can’t find a greater way to spend a Saturday night with girlfriends when I’m in a depressed state than playing poker. My friend Jake, albeit not a girl, shares the same sentiments.

We, his very supportive friends, are looking for poker table for his upcoming birthday. Anyway, while browsing through the net, I saw these handsome poker tables and I have been trying to figure out which one would match with his very bachelor place.

If not considering the look of his flat, I’d say that this Blackjack SE (Signature Series) exudes a casino-ish aura. Hehe. 

But if you’re feeling extravagant, this Deluxe 96 inch Holdem Poker table with dealer position is the best. 

We agreed to give individual gifts instead so he can add it all up to his collection.

The 1000 Chip Acrylic Case Carrier is a great choice for him because not only is it stylish, it’s a subtle way of showing off his chips. LOL. 

But check out this cool Automatic Shuffler! Pardon my ignorance but I never knew there is such thing as this – just one push and it’ll automate your shuffling. Wow.

These cute accessories are not to be disregarded – Dealer Button, which is great for keeping track where the play should start; and this Digital Timer Dealer Button with built-in LCD timer. 

Now which one shall I give?

Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez

Singer/Comedian Ogie Alcasid and girlfriend Regine Velasquez went to Hong Kong Disneyland along with ex-wife Michelle van Eimeren, her boyfriend Mark and their kids. It was another proof that Michelle indeed is very happy for both Ogie and Regine. According to Ogie, it was his gift to his kids and eventually became a present for himself since he realized how important relaxing for a while is.

When asked if this would mean marriage is next in line for him and Regine, he laughed and said, "One step at a time... "
