Overcharging, Abusive, Rude Taxi Drivers- Here's How You Can Report Them

You're not a Filipino if you have not experienced abusive and over-charging taxi drivers! 
It sucks when all you wanted was to get home comfortably and these cab drivers won't let you ride because you don't want to add 50 Pesos or just cause they feel FTI/Paranaque is a long drive from Makati.

Well at least now we can easily report them without doing the 
hassles of sending written complaints and calling busy trunk lines, 
thanks to www.taxikick.com  everything is as easy as 1-2-3!

You just have to type in the Plate Number , Choose the violation from the drop-down options, write the Taxi Name and your comments, the click "Kick This Taxi". The app will then send an email with the details of the complaint to LTFRB. 


Over-charging, contracting, refused boarding, rude behavior, and even smelly interiors are some of the violations listed in Taxikick.com

Here are actual complaints submitted today (01/06/2011)


Taxikick.com App was developed by Pencil Rocket (a group of concerned web designers and developers based in Manila). You can follow them on Twitter @TaxiKick  and "like" their facebook page here!


I am yet to send in a complaint using taxikick.com (thanks to my ever dependable 2nd hand wagon), but I know sooner or later I will. Let's face it, getting a Taxi here in Manila (on a regular day) is like getting a flight to Boracay on Holy Week. You have to work hard to get one!

Jinkee P Covers Mega Magazine for January 2012

Jinkee! Jinkee! Jinkee!! 
-------------------------------

So everyone (I mean everyone!) was shocked when they saw Jinkee Pacquiao's Mega Magazine cover yesterday! Why? Im not telling. Just see it for yourself.


Most said it's extremely photo-shopped. Some are just over-acting. I listed down some of the funniest comments I read on Mega Magazine's comment thread (
  
.....  "mega magazine, pls add the name of the graphic artist to credits.. 
at least we can say "great job." Yesterday at 1:11pm ·  ·  19

----   "Half man half science! Kudos to the Bello group! :)" 23 hours ago ·

----- "That is the nice part about technologies.........technology of reconstructive surgery, 
technology of photoshop, technology of make up............
that will make you look like the one you dream to be.........
Kristine Hermosa? Bakit di si Krista Ranillo?"

I'm not an expert of photography neither Photoshop editing and so I cant say whether this is extremely edited or not. For people to think that a magazine cover was extremely photo-shopped could be a good thing for the magazine (publicity and all) and an insult to the cover model. Photo-shopped or not Mega Magazine did a great job on their first cover for 2012!! Jinkee looked gorgeous in that photo, and whether she's photo-shopped or surgically enhanced, she still looked good, and can't we just be happy for her??

PS: Photo-shopped = Digitally retouched through some software.

The Best 2012 Welcomes (for me)

Happy New Year Y'all!!

So it's a new year for me and my blog (yey to me!). How did you guys celebrate the new years Eve? I initially wanted to go to one of the New Year's Eve countdowns within the metro, but changed my mind when I felt the side effects of a freshly inked tattoo. We didn't have expensive fireworks (even firecrackers) at home. We only had loud speakers and a honking car that created the noise that welcomed 2012. Regardless, we still had fun, nothing beats enjoying the new years eve with your love ones you know!

Having said so, one of the best things to do during the first few hours of the year is to watch how every country celebrates the welcoming of the new year. I never get to see it live on CNN, thanks to Youtube I get to see some of the best Fireworks displays that welcomed 2012.

 Here are my Top 3 picks for the best New Year's Eve 2012 fireworks (in no particular order, lol)

Dubai- Burj Khalifa
I love what they did with Burj Khalifa! Being Dubai's greatest landmark, I think The Burj is the best centerpiece for such extravaganza! I'm just wondering though- what happened to the guests who stayed in that fabulous hotel that night??


Australia - Sydney Harbor

They have perfectly utilized Sydney Harbor!! Seeing the colorful fireworks and how it reflects on the water is simply amazing.


London - Big Ben / London Eye
London's presentation is just jaw-dropping!! They utilized London's latest landmark, The London Eye, really well. But what made this presentation amazing (aside from the fireworks) is the festive music selection!!

I don't recommend you guys to watch the rest of the videos (watch at your own risk, lol).

2011 has been a great year for me! I created this blog in 2011. I styled probably some of the biggest local (and some international) celebrities in 2011. I celebrated my first year as a Data Analyst, 4th year with my partner, and 27th year of being me in 2011.

It's nice to be able to count your blessings and look forward to another year full of positivity! Let's all stay alive, safe, and healthy this 2012!!!

Happy New Year Guys!!
