Kitty Go’s blog

   Posted by: dementia   in Celebrity Skin, General

I’ve been waiting years for this and at long last Kitty Go has a blog. Read the dirt she dishes out and try to find out who’s behind the code names. It’s a guessing game unlike Brian Gorrell’s blog.

My Disclosure Policy

   Posted by: dementia   in General

This is a personal blog, written solely by me, dementia. You can’t trust somebody with such a nickname.

When I include articles or another blogger’s posts, I give credit to the author and link back to them.

I need to pay my credit card debts. That’s why I joined some pay-per-post and review websites. I get paid if my paid posts doesn’t suck. If the post didn’t get approved. I suck even more.

I also accept invites to blog meets (Trinoma Bloggers Food Tour) where I won’t get paid but I eat good food. If food is involved, please invite me to your event.

I like receiving freebies. I never asked for one yet, at least none that I remember. If a company decides to send me a product for me to review, I will write what I really think about the product. Please send me free products. Pretty please!

This is my disclosure policy and so be it.

Seeding The Earth

   Posted by: dementia   in General

Everybody loves sex. Some more than others. There are people who are good at it they make is as their profession. There are those who are inexperienced but think about it constantly, fueled by their crazy teenage hormones. Little kids can be also sexual. One mother even told me that her toddler masturbates. Imagine that. The elderly does it too. Not as often as they might want to but I’m sure the libido is still there although I don’t want to think about that. *Shudders*

Sex is a fact of life and copulating is necessary if we want to populate the world. There are countries worried about their future because of declining population. Some governments are even giving incentives to couples who produce children. This doesn’t apply to the Philippines because there are many kids running around here. Too many if you ask me even. But for countries with zero population growth, it’s really worrisome. Their citizens are becoming older or are already old. Their economy might be good but who will inherit their land someday? The younger couples are too busy with their careers. The older generation might have a lot of free time but they have problems in the sex department, like getting it up for instance. Buying Viagra is too embarrassing, especially if their country is very conservative. They might have a better chance by buying discreet generic medicines online, like from Kamagra UK. There’s also the problem of poor digestion and taking the blue pill might give them some problems. Maybe Kamagra Tablets or Oral Jellies can do the job since they come in different flavors and are easier to swallow. If not that, there are alternative medicines which helps erectile dysfunction although that would mean discussing sex (the horror!) with total strangers. If they order through Kamagra, they won’t have that problem since buyers do not need to register so their personal information is safe. The fact that such a medicine was bought won’t even be reflected in credit card statements. It sure is hard to be old. Old people sex is even harder. Maybe old people sexing to have kids is the hardest but it will surely help in such countries. Good thing there are online stores which can help their lives become easier.

Shopping for this girl

   Posted by: dementia   in General, White-Collar Blues

Shopping for myself. That’s what I did yesterday afternoon. I went for a quick urinalysis (orders of by OB Gyne) then went to a nearby sale by a factory outlet of Dr. Martens. I was able to find a nice mary janes my size and bought it for 2,200 pesos. Still expensive but Doc Martens are expensive. From there, I went to Robinson’s Galleria because the Smart Wireless Center there is cozier than Shangri-la’s. My Plan 800 expired October last year and since I have no plans of switching, I got their retention plan. Because of the retention plan, I was able to buy a discounted Sony Ericsson P1i for 12,000 pesos. I think the current market value of the unit is 17K so it’s still a good deal. Actually I wasn’t expecting that I will be able to take home the unit today but my papers got processed fast.

Where did I get my money for all these? Since mom began helping me organize the payment of my credit card debts, I was able to save a lot of salary money. I still don’t know how she did it but it’s working great.

So yeah, new phone and new shoes. I’m happy again but how long will that last?

Twilight The Movie

   Posted by: dementia   in General

The first book of the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer is going to have a film version which will be shown at the end of this year. I’m addicted to the books and there’s a big chance that I might get disappointed with the film version. I mean, in my imagination, the Cullens and Bella Swan look so much different from the actors chosen to portray them. Hmm, actually I’m pretty sure I’ll be disappointed with the film just like I was disappointed with the Harry Potter and Bridget Jones movies. Still, I will watch Twilight on the big screen if it gets released in the Philippines.

Robert Pattinson (Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter) was cast as Edward Cullen. He’s handsome but my imagined Edward Cullen is dreamier. Now that I’ve seen the trailer and some video clips, my imagined Edward is gone and is now replaced by Pattinson. Oh well. I can’t really do anything about it.

Here’s a video about the cast of the movie.
