MANILA, Philippines - There was Charice looking mighty matronly on ASAP, a new Megan stealing the “Sexiest” title from Megans Fox and Young, and another election season coming to a close and kicking us all in the gut. When all is said and done, all you can do is laugh and tumble it. This week, Team Supreme put together some of our favorite memes from the week in weird.

You go, Charice Coco!

Four for you, Charice Coco!

Well, isn’t Charice Pempengco just precious. With her Olympic-level lungs and a face so buoyant she can give Kerokeropi a run for his Sanrio money, she’s managed to become a one-name, Billboard-charting wonder all by her 18th birthday. But if you think Charice is in the clear, think again. She might be the hot teen singer now, but as we learned from Lindsay Lohan, no teen queen is clear until the first margarita at the local watering hole, or in Charice’s case, Celine Dion concert. The curls in her new hair are eerily similar to a pre-meltdown Lindsay and even, more troublingly, MySpace-born celebutard Tila Tequila. Charice being Charice, of course, the girl’s a lot sweeter and more decent than those two sourpussies combined. But let this be a warning, Charice: Stay sweet, stay humble, and most of all, stay away from Regina George — she’s a life-ruiner.

Electile dysfunction

Let’s get this out of the way: Congratulations, PCOS Machine, for helping the country make the transition from the Stone Age to 2010, and giving a onetime Candy Cutie his 15 minutes of fame. But aside from that, there weren’t many things to be happy about in this last election. First, there was the sauna-like atmosphere at the precincts, which made voting a prize, not a right. Then there were reports of vote-buying (caught on a network camera even), violence, etc. all over the country. Top it all off? A Famas-worthy cast of senators and a mind-boggling presidential second-placer. Being Filipino, we cope with these things the way we cope with bad luck — with humor. As a friend of mine said on Facebook, “A country’s greatness is not measured by economic prosperity or historical significance, but how its people can poke fun at its leaders.” Let the good times roll.

Megan Fox + Megan Young < Megan Non

Choosing between two heart-stopping babes like Megan Fox and Megan Young is a decision any red-blooded man would rather not make — two’s company but three’s a party, after all. In conundrums as complex as this (Megan Fox rode that Transformers tricycle really well ... but Megan Young is a Filipina! Love your own!) and with humor as played out as the one in this paragraph, one can only throw one’s hands up and ask God for a sign. Enter the Other Other Megan — Megan Non. Perhaps more flexible than both Megans, Megan Non is able to convey three things: 1) approval for when a joke hits the spot just right, 2) basagan ng trip for when a joke is deeply unfunny, 3) and also meta-asar for when you realize your joke is deepy unfunny and want to own up to it before your friends call you out on it ... or make basag your trip. Try using her in everyday conversation. She’s a lot of fun.
