If halo-halo is a pop Pinoy dessert, why Jollibee is not offering it?

This is an inpiration to everyone who wants to change their lives for the better. I have few friends who suffer from weight problems (you know who you are) but doesn't have the courage to get out of it. Most of you have asked me for some advice but I'm not an expert. My words could only go so far. What will take you further are your willingness to step up and the courage to take that first step. When I first got into running, no one was there to coach me. I just did it (of course, after some Google research). So, here's the video to get you inspired. Stop pitying yourselves. Just do it. Run!
Thanks to Leo for posting this up on FB.
What if thoughtful design, in which aesthetic concerns shared top priority with practical ones, were able to infiltrate every aspect of our lives? Even the bank notes in our pockets would be works of art. Artist Dowling Duncan imagines just such a scenario with ‘The Dollar Redesign Project’.
First and foremost, Duncan has changed the size of each bank note so that it’s easy to distinguish by value. The one-dollar bill is the shortest and the hundred-dollar-bill the longest, so there’s less awkward fumbling for the correct amounts.
The horizontal format of the United States bank note is switched from horizontal to vertical. Duncan told Design Boom, “When we researched how notes are used we realized people tend to handle and deal with money vertically rather than horizontally… the majority of people hand over notes vertical when making purchases. All machines accept notes vertically. Therefore a vertical note makes more sense.”
Furthermore, the notes are each given a different color, making it even easier to distinguish them from one another. Duncan has also assigned imagery to each that he feels represents their value. For the one-dollar bill, the first African-American president. The five biggest Native American tribes are shown on the five-dollar bill. The ten-dollar bill features the ten amendments in the Bill of Rights, and the twenty represents twentieth-century America.
On the fifty-dollar bill are the fifty states of the nation, and on the 100 are the first one hundred days of President Franklin Roosevelt, which helped fight the economic crises during the time of the depression. See more designs from other artists and for other nations at the Dollar Redesign Project blog.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Statistics says more than 12 million people are currently being enslaved and over 2 million children and women are being human trafficked for commercial sex trade. As MTV Exit (End Exploitation and Trafficking) puts it on their campaign website, "human trafficking is the second most profitable criminal activity in the world today."
If you're a friend and reading this, I am sharing this documentary to you and hopefully you could share this too to others. Let's all get involved. Let's all join the fight.

True enough that the reason prostitution continues is because people keeps creating demands for it. If only we will stop patronizing paid sex services, then we might soon stop the supply.
To join the fight, which I believe we all should, visit MTV Exit website now or DNA Foundation by Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher for anti-child sex slavery.
Through the help of internet and power of social media, the couple has finally reunited after being separated for two weeks.

It's been months, I think, since I wanted to have red hair like Gerard Way. And now, I have it. The pic doesn't show it but it's bloody bright red! I feel so anime but I like it.
