My friend Nanding T., a retired school principal, says he's in favor of sex education but it must be taught in adult classes. Hehe. Adult students are already sex educated.

I think one of the reasons, in fact the main reason, why many are against sex education is the word sex. Try removing sex, changing it with another word like, maybe, love. Oh, well, just a thought.

Who was that mediaman who told another mediaman that this mediaman is being treated by a topnotch urologist because this mediaman has enlarged prostitute?

Pagasa says El Niño is over. Let's brace for La Niña. Some say she is more devastating than him.

The Freedom of Information Bill has been killed in the Lower House. Killed because there was no quorum. The congressmen who were supposed to be in their seats were outside doing nothing.
* * *
A media colleague says, these congressmen spent time and money to have seats in the House. But when they win, they don't sit on their seats but in the lobby lounge.

The CHED has apologized to UV for wrongly saying its Nursing school was not up to par. UV has accepted the apology. But the damage has been done and you can't undo what's done.

It says here that excessive eating has been the cause of death of many people. Didn't I tell you before that more people are committing suicide with spoon and fork than with a gun?
* * *
Speaking of spoon and fork, a Malaysian journalist who was with me during the Asean Journalists Exchange program told me in a recent e-mail that he has introduced the "kinamot" eating style in his restaurant in Kuala Lumpur.
* * *
While in Manila, waiting for the start of our six-country Asean tour, Paul Chong (he's Chinese Malaysian) and I happened to have dinner in Kamayan restaurant where eating with the hands was the style.
* * *
Paul, who has already retired from journalism, has gone into the restaurant business. In his eatery in KL he has set aside a place where diners could eat without using spoon and fork and even chopsticks too. Only "kinamot."
* * *
"It was an instant hit," Paul said. "Now there are two other restaurants that have followed my style."
