will the young lady from pampanga and makati quit smiling?

i died. and died. and died again.

while mortals like me have to smile to look good in pictures (thank God for orthodontists), some people would just stare at the camera and still look fab in their mug shots.

unbelievable.

err... that's my current fascination, bryanboy doing a Paris mugshot.

here is the real thing.

i actually have four entries stored somewhere on my draftboard, waiting to be posted. but being the comsummate wannabe in the wonderful and wicked world of philippine politics, i thought of just doing a pictionary of sorts.

so last night, while i was raving at my newly purchased pair of naturalizer pumps which i got at 50% off, the COMELEC proclaimed the 10 winning candidates in the May Senatorial race.

Of the seven senators that i voted for, five were proclaimed.

chiz escudero at number two is one of them

(but he was only number four on my list, following ping lacson)

joker arroyo, my favorite senator is number nine.

(but he was number one on my list, followed by ed angara)

then of course, there's my former boss, manny villar, who came at number four.

err... i have a confession.

on election day, he was nowhere on my list.

(yeah yeah, that makes me an ingrate bi-atch. )

******

on the local front, the binays won by a freaking landslide.

jun-jun is number one councilor.

while jojo binay, my super idol, is once again, mayor of my city.

marides fernando, was also re-elected as mayor of marikina.

This is my all time favorite election 2007 photo:

i would love to be in darlene's shoes.

parting shot:

i don't have a picture with anyone from malacanang.

but i think this photo will do.
