too fat to board the Harry Potter ride

I came across articles online that some fat patrons of the Harry Potter Forbidden Ride were forbidden to board the ride because they were too fat. Evidently there is a test chair that one has to fit first before one is allowed to board the ride. And this procedure is obviously for safety reasons.

One fat Utah woman was angry for being forbidden to board the ride and for being humiliated by it. She wants Universal studios to have more public warnings about the size restriction of the ride.

I do not feel sorry at all for the morbidly fat people forbidden to board the ride. It is about time these people take responsibility for their weight. If they are too fat, then they should loose weight so they can board the Forbidden ride. After all obesity is a big problem in this country and it is not only a problem to the fat person but also a burden to the whole society. Thin and healthy tax payers are shouldering the financial cost of medical issues arising from obesity. I personally am tired of seeing all these preventable medical issues if one only manages to control their weight.

Blogging and me - ID concealment

Once in a while I will be blogging about some people I do not like but it is deem prudent that their identity be concealed. Sometimes I will be blogging about some people I know who I do not necessarily hate, so it is even more apropos that I do not reveal their true identity. Their privacy ought to be protected. These blog entries are often a way for me to learn a lesson or for me to remember an event that happened. But I must admit that there are times I blog about people I hate just to trash them and for me to vent my anger. And you know about cyber space, what one enters here can sometimes come back to bite us in the ass. Regardless of how one thinks the blog entry will not be read by the subject of the negative comments, it is just a smart practice to conceal their identity. So I have decided to add a new category on my blog called "True ID concealed"

Pride 2010

Happy Gay Pride to all the Homos, queers, lesbos, Fags, Dikes, Trannies and bi. This weekend the GLBT communities of Chicago, SF, NYC and other major cities in the US celebrate gay pride parade. For my hometown Chicago, it is the 41st pride parade taking place in East Lakeview this Sunday June 27, 2010. The GLBT community needs to remember to take pride in who we are and not let others deny us our basic rights in the eye of the law that they enjoy. Also do not let them give power to derogatory terms they use to bully us with. Those words/terms have only power if we let them. Let us all unite and celebrate!

Monsters are created, not born.

It was said in Desperate Housewives that monsters are created and not born. They were referring to the killer character that turned that way because his mother screamed and laughed at him always on top of belittling him. This psychological maltreatment by his mother since he was small led him to turn into a psychologically disturbed killer.

My up stair neighbor is a screaming crazy banshee. I have heard her scream profanities many time to her daughter since the first day we were neighbors. And I just experienced first hand screaming from her the other day. I have talked to at least 3 people who she has unleashed her white trash screaming craziness before. The other day, the ceiling on my toilet started leaking water. This was obviously coming from her bathroom so when I called her about getting her toilet fixed to stopped the leaking, she screamed at me. So I called the association to deal with her directly.

She obviously has a temper and is psychologically unstable to be always screaming at people. And just today, I saw her now 14 year old daughter screaming back at her. Where did the girl learn to scream? Of course from her unstable role model, the mother. The daughter is now turning into a monster just like her mother is. I would not be surprise if the daughter will also be an unwed mother just like mother dearest.

Eclipse trailer

Well I am very excited to see the next installment of the Twilight saga: Eclipse this weekend hopefully. One thing I am noticing in the trailer is that the teen vampire (Edward and Alice) are looking a little older when they are not suppose to be. I am just nit picking. Still would enjoy it I am sure.

Chamba

"Chamba" is a filipino term to signify a random goodluck. And that is the very term I would describe the win of Francesca Schiavone in the french open against Samantha Stosur. Both have very little great achievements to booast and I thought their finals appearance at the French Open was "chamba", although not entirely. They can play tennis alright but not consistently great to label them true champions and icons in the sports. And I was proven right this week by their first round exit at the Wimbledon. Obviously "chamba" was not with them in Wimbledon.

Deterrent to people texting and talking in the cellphone while driving.

I have voiced my disapproval on people using their cellphone without a hands-free device or texting while driving many times in the past. Still I see many people in the road doing it. When ever I see them, I am so tempted to chastise them for their risky behavior that not only endangers themselves but also others including me!

I think the only real solution and deterrent for these people is to see death of someone who are very dear to them because of texting and cellphone use while driving. Somebody dear to them has to be in an accident because another was texting or using the cellphone while driving. Then it will be a wake up call for them to stop these stupid practice. Really can the phone call wait? If it can not, then at least equip themselves with hands-free device to make that phone call safer for everybody. And texting while driving is an absolute NO NO! That is just plain idiotic.

Guess where?

Here is one art decoration in one of the building here in Chicago. It struck me as something interesting and I was more surprised because I did not expect to see it in that particular part of Chicago. Anybody know where?

The new "Limang Dipang Tao"

Here is a video of a song that I have loved since I was still in college back in the Philippines. It is a catchy tune and very uniquely Filipino. Composed by no other than Ryan Cayabyab. A new rendition by this cute band called Barbie's Cradle.

Kiss the Girl

Another favorite disney movie of mine. Little Mermaid. Here is Kiss the Girl from the movie.
