The First Filipino Ever to CLIMB DOWN Mt.Everest
I just have to blog about this. According to the news, two Filipinos have just reached the summit of Mt. Everest, before Garduce. For those of you who don't know Garduce, he is sponsored and spearheaded by GMA (the TV network) as the first ever Filipino to attempt to reach Mt.Everest's summit, and the network has been championing his cause in the media for several weeks already. There have been daily updates, numerous interviews, motivational advertisments, reporters-turned-climbers, the works! You name it, they've done it. And now, two Filipinos (their names escape me, gee I wonder why?) have already reached the top, even before the much celebrated Garduce. Hehehe. Chuckle-Sigh. I can't imagine how Garduce must feel right now. Oh wait, I think I do imagine it. Mmmmpppffttt (suppressed laugh)! Well (shoulder shrug)... what can I say? $#it happens!? Hehehe. Sigh. If I could just get my message across to Garduce, I'd advise him to climb back down NOW, as quickly as he can! He could still be the first ever Filipino to actually CLIMB DOWN Mt. Everest! Hehehe. Think about it! Anyways, my heart goes out to you Mr.Garduce... sometimes, life just sucks. But it's kinda thrilling that way don't you think? Now all you have to do is find a new mountain to conquer. (",) Mmmmpppffttt...

haha! kulit! tough luck then. maybe he could be the first Tagalog / Ilocano / Cebuano / (insert your region)-ano instead.
Saw an interview yesterday, the news reporter asked Garduce how he was feeling now that his journey was over. Garduce says, "Masaya naman at nakabigay ng karangalan sa Pilipinas". Flashing on screen below was this: "Garduce: the THIRD Filipino to reach Mt. Everest's summit". Bummer...
Wasn't the whole exercise a very pinoy experience? Its indicative of the great schism in society. Either that or I'm just over-analyzing the whole exercise.
Agh, why didn't Mcphee win?
Meatloaf should've been booed off the stage!
Hahaha. Don't get me started on Meatloaf. When he started doing his voice trembling thing? I was cringing in pain! Can you seriously call what he was doing "singing"?? Yup, Mcphee pa rin ako. I'm sure she's still gonna sell more records than grandpa Taylor the epileptic. She could do movies too, with that face? Can't go wrong! She should replace Joan in Joan of Arcadia. Haha.. do any of you guys watch that?
Trivia lang... ABS CBN have been planning a 16 man team to go to the everest NEXT YEAR. They were hoping that one of em would be the first Filipino to reach the top of everest. Suddenly, to their surprise, GMA sponsored this Garduce thing for this year! So, biglaan, ABS immediately sent those 2 men to "race" with him to the top of Everest. Malas lang ni Garduce 'cause he wasn't the first one there even though he was "technically" the "supposedly original" first Pinoy up there... but heck. I still am touched 'cause he was so civil about it. (What with the "Magkaisa" background music being played in GMA... hehehe) But 'am proud of him... siyempre. Taga-U.P. eh!!! :OP
