I always read on Yahoo featured stories and this one really got my attention.

The 10 Worst Ways to Break Up With Someone

10. ON VACATION: Who would you most likely want to be stuck on a deserted island with? Not someone who’s just told you “it’s not working out,” we’re quite sure. Not only have you now wasted your time and money, but you can’t leave the situation easily without added plane fares and stress. If this happens to you, break away and turn your trip into a rejuvenating self-improvement retreat... you’ll need it.

9. IN A TEXT MESSAGE: Ah, the text. The modern-day version of the Post-It. Too wussy to do it in person? Text away, wuss.

8. ON FACEBOOK: Nothing like logging on to find your loved one tagged in a compromising photo with a complete stranger…to you, at least. Why this is called the “World Wide Web” and some people can’t figure out how they got busted is beyond us. Besides, it’s way too trendy these days – be original, people!

7. AROUND THE FAMILY: Don’t make it a family affair – you’ll seriously regret it. Whether at a sibling’s wedding (see #6), a family vacation (see #10), or meeting the family for the first time (really!?), this one is clearly ridden with minefields that will lead to nothing but trouble. If this happens to you, at least you’ve got your “people” nearby to protect you, support you, and promptly kick your brand-new-ex to the curb.

6. AT A WEDDING: The wedding. The defining moment for any couple. The pinnacle of celebrating relationships and love. The day they’ll remember as the best day of their lives. Forever. Guess the pressure got to you, huh?

5. AT YOUR “SPECIAL PLACE”: That restaurant where we had our first date…the bar where you told me you loved me…the bench in the park where we’d sit every Sunday… Why on earth would anyone think this is a good idea? Let the special place stay special. Just like there are other fish in the sea, there are other places in the whole world. If they can’t find another place, you should definitely find another fish.

For the first time, scientists have proven that “beer goggles” are real – other people really do look more attractive to us if we have been drinking.

Surprisingly, the beer goggles effect was not limited to just the opposite sex among the ostensibly straight volunteers recruited for the study – they also rated people from their own sex as more attractive.

Scientists in England gave 84 heterosexual college students chilled lime-flavored drinks that were either non-alcoholic or given a dose of vodka equivalent in alcohol to a large glass of wine or a pint-and-a-half of beer.

After 15 minutes, the volunteers were shown photos of 40 other college students from both sexes. Both men and women who drank booze found these faces more attractive, “a roughly 10 percent increase in ratings of attractiveness,” said researcher Marcus Munafo, an experimental psychologist at the University of Bristol in England.

NHA TRANG, Vietnam – Miss Venezuela was crowned Miss Universe 2008 on Monday in a contest marked by the spectacle of Miss USA falling down during the evening gown competition for the second year in a row.

The new Miss Universe, Dayana Mendoza, was once kidnapped in her homeland and says the experience taught her to remain poised under pressure.

Tension got under the skin of Miss USA, Crystle Stewart of Texas, who tripped on the train of her bejeweled evening gown as she made her entrance.

At a news conference after this year’s event, a beaming Mendoza said she wasn’t yet sure where her upcoming year of whirlwind appearances would take her. But after a quick stop in New York, she wants to see her family again, enjoy some of her mom’s home cooking and give everyone hugs.

Last Saturday or should I say Sunday (in the Philippines) Filipinos stopped whatever they’re doing and switched off to their respective televisions or radios for…that includes myself…for one reason, to see the Manny Pacquiao and David Diaz fight: The Lethal Combination. ^_^

Ok, so the fight was not live on TV but it was on the radio. So, while waiting for the fight to be televised, I turned on my radio and had it on its highest volume while cooking my favorite, Adobo. Since, it was live, I lend my ears and listened carefully as the DJs (i don’t know if they were DJ’s or just announcers)  carefully announced every detail of the fight. It was nerve wrecking to hear those comments and all. But in the end, as I expected, Manny won. I waited for an hour to see it on TV. It’s really that different watching the fight than just listening.

So I spent my 2 hours watching the telecast and was surprise to see the bloody face of Diaz and I pitied him so much. Though he had those cuts and blood on his face he still managed to last till round 9. When he finally got knocked, I was so happy. Happy that Manny Pacquiao got another Title as Lightweight Champion, made history as the first Asian to have 4 titles, and of course for giving us, Filipinos another pride.
