Justin Bieber Concert in Manila on May 11, 2011.

January 10, 2011 by Janey

Bieber fans are probably all psyched up with the fact that their beloved Justin Bieber or “JB” is having a concert in Manila on May 10, 2011. Good thing that May 10, 2011 is not an election day this year. Justin Bieber fans definitely vote to go to the concert whether rain or shine.

Smart Telecommunications is producing the Justin Bieber concert in partnership with Music Management International and AEDI. The Justin Bieber Manila Concert will be held at SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.

Justin was supposed to be linked to a Filipina-American singer Jasmine Villegas but E! News recently showed a photo of Justine Bieber steamy with Selena Gomez in Cabo.

Poreotix, which is America’s Best Dance Crew, is also going to perform during the Justin Bieber Manila Concert.

Fit Flop –Oprah Swears By It

June 23, 2009 by Janey

Okay, if asked who is the most avid reader of Didi’s site, I know who to point to (Pointing ALL fingers to Bubba). He sometimes goes, “did you read Didi’s blah blah…” and I will be totally clueless because he gets to read it first before I do.

One day, he started blabbing about this newest technology in flip flops –Fit Flop, that he read over Didi’s site. He said it would really be good for my back since I have scoliosis and I always complain of back pains. I said I don’t need the fit flops because nowadays you would always find me in sneakers anyway (even in the office, unless I have an important meeting with affiliates). My white sneakers are pretty comfortable.

He objects and says that Fit Flop is beneficial for this and that. He goes on to drop the name of Oprah. Oprah swears by it. Right.

The next big question: how much is it?

When he answered that it was a whopping PHP 3K, I said immediately, “NO WAY JOSE!!!” I am NOT going to buy flip flops that are that expensive. It’s crazy!

I remember buying Havaianas some 5 years ago that are half as much and I have never used them. It’s still in the box. What do I need another pair of flip flops for? I for one do not need an extra.

Every time Bubba remembers Fit Flop, he keeps insisting that I get one. He said he would buy it for me. Even if he buys it for me, I don’t want IT. It’s just a waste of hard earned money.

So the story goes, we were in Powerplant Mall last Saturday. Bubba spots the Fit Flop stand and hauled me there. I said I don’t want to try it on but he was so persistent. Bubba got me try it on and it was pretty comfortable. But I still wasn’t that sold. Since he is really bent on buying me one, I let him be. It’s for my “health” anyway. It also supposedly helps you burn more calories as you walk on them. Exercise while wearing flip flops?
