<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Do you ever wonder what is that light entering your sight even if you close your eyes?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">That's some kind of light too, and it's called PHOSPHENE...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphene">Wikipedia</a> defines phosphenes as:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A phenomenon characterized by the experience of seeing light actually entering the eye. The word Phosphene comes from the Greek word phos (light) and phainein (to show). Phosphenes are flashes of light, induced by movement or sound. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The next time you close your eyes to daydream, what may be in your mind is your crush or someone special to you, but what you really see, as entering into your eyes is called phosphenes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Now you know... </span></div>

When I was listening to Chico and Delamar last Wednesday, I heard Chico say this word: Mouthgasmic, which means very very good you'll find yourself in seventh heaven when you taste it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And that's what Max's in Gensan is all about. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Max's, the House that Fried Chicken Built, is already here in General Santos City. Hurray! Housed in SM City in General Santos, Max's is clearly one for the books because of its clean tables, very friendly waiting staff and their bakery which offers my favorite caramel bars. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Found in the second level of SM City Gensan, my friends and I were delighted with their invitation to try their chicken, something really extraordinary here in our place considering that the best we could really have is KFC, or Jollibee's Chicken Joy, and some local chicken inasal. But fried chicken is fried chicken and one thing I can say, you will never go wrong with the fried chicken in Max's.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD2vyiHOb6W6NW5vaHkk2gisMqbcIpy938yV0j_DpVc-q-vdA7km_gRq-0fkhONiOXFJ5neVykMRIzdUyX2cnR7TS1o9NTh_1Ww8UNG3kIgwF_uGH5gIhttAsdkmuQlu2ibb8VNoYxmc8C/s1600/max's.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD2vyiHOb6W6NW5vaHkk2gisMqbcIpy938yV0j_DpVc-q-vdA7km_gRq-0fkhONiOXFJ5neVykMRIzdUyX2cnR7TS1o9NTh_1Ww8UNG3kIgwF_uGH5gIhttAsdkmuQlu2ibb8VNoYxmc8C/s400/max's.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My friends enjoying their Max's chicken got freebies too, awesome! I can't wait till my next visit with family! If you wanna get high and want to have that mouthgasmic feeling, try Max's Gensan, only at SM City. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And oh by the way, if you have been to many Max's stores elsewhere, you might want to notice one thing that's different from our Max's in SM City Gensan, prices are way cheaper, and I am not complaining. For some unknown reason, it really is affordable. </div>

Normal people like you and me must take a Bachelor of Arts in Jejetyping in order to understand said individuals, as deciphering their text would cause a lot of frustration and hair pulling. CAUTION: THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE BREEDING! THEY CAN BE SEEN WRECKING GRAMMATICAL HAVOC ON FACEBOOK TOO!<br /><br />2) Jejemons are not just confined to trying-hard Filipino gangsters and emos. A Jejemon can also include a variety of Latino-Hispanic fags who enjoy typing "jejejejeje" in a wider context, much to the disdain of their opponents in an internet MMORPG game such as Ragnarok and DOTA.<br /><br />3) Basically anyone with a low tolerance in correct punctuation, syntax and grammar. Jejemons are usually hated or hunted down by Jejebusters or the grammar nazi to eradicate their grammatical ways.<br /><br />EoW pFuOh!<br />I cannot understand their language, and they just plain piss me off. Why would someone on his right state of mind send me an SMS that can be simply spelled into <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">hello</span>, go to the extent of extending the word into a jumble more of letters?<br /><br />DepEd should do something about this. This has been discussed on a lot of forums already but by the way it looks, there are more students and teens who are enticed to spell the way jejemons do. This is just not right. I can simply wonder at the jejemons' creative way of spelling stuffs, but i pity the teachers who, admittedly, can be affected by way of jejemons' world.<br /><br />When i was in school, (God bless the teachers in KNCHS) we were taught of the freedom of speech, and how we can creatively write, but we were also taught to spell words the right way. There are of course, spelling notebooks and daily spelling tests that I dread, but this stuffs were my stepping stones to where I am now. Today, I work as editor of a local publishing company, checking spellings, and other stuffs related to books.

And I even thought the judges were all wrong to place him 4th, he could have been on the top 2 spots. The voice, the ballad coming from him are 2 very awesome things one will get if he intently listens.<br /><br />I have never really been a fan of pop songs and Pinoy ballads, maybe because I have never much liked the way Pinoy ballads are sung, but imagine the fact that you will be listening to Christian Bautista with his slow and engaging voice sing Jose Mar Chan's ever popular love songs is just one major reason why I need to see him perform.<br /><br />Jose Mari Chan is my favorite ever, and while he has been here in General Santos City many moons ago, I still want him to come back and regal us with his songs of eternal love. However, I cannot, just like that, request for him to be back any minute, so I guess I have Christian Bautista to sing Jose Mari Chan songs for me in the meantime. And sure enough, he is coming, and soon!<br /><br />On Friday, April 23 at Lagao Gym at 7pm, Christian Bautista will be serenading us with his ballads, entitled "Constant Change", obviously you'd know he will be wowing us with his version of Jose Mari Chan's most popular love songs including Constant Change, Tell Me Your Name, the latest Ninoy love tribute to Cory: I Have Fallen In Love with The Same Woman (Three Times), and whole lot more. <br /><br />This concert is brought to us by the ever famous <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.gensantos.com"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Gensan News Online Mag</span></a>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Drumbeat Ventures</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Starbright Office Depot, Vertical Builders, DGO Depot</span> and the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Office of the City Mayor in Gensan</span>. <br /><br />Prasia and selected local artists will be with him during the concert and for a fact, this concert will benefit People's Advancement through Leadership and Management Inc.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGSyXp1sl8yxn6XrAY1O1zrf_TaYypjpAZrlhycIKtp06b6MjUB_S60QXwoja_Zy3z5S1pKed5XoY4nQeSg5LhLWO0gcw41DvvbhzaRB3iLWz48yNwbzElKc2hz6Z655tnbJXFc4N8eaeA/s1600/christian+bautista+constant+change.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGSyXp1sl8yxn6XrAY1O1zrf_TaYypjpAZrlhycIKtp06b6MjUB_S60QXwoja_Zy3z5S1pKed5XoY4nQeSg5LhLWO0gcw41DvvbhzaRB3iLWz48yNwbzElKc2hz6Z655tnbJXFc4N8eaeA/s400/christian+bautista+constant+change.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461609198005360530" border="0" /></a>And hey, one trivia here, did you know that Christian Bautista is a landscape architect?

And what do you know, the ever generous sponsor for this contest is the one who has made me watch Air Supply, David Pomeranz, and Side A Concerts for free...thanks Mr. Michael Wee.<br /><br />Weeeee, yes, another concert for the generals. And thanks also to <a href="gensantos.com">Gensan News Online Mag</a> who keeps coming up with generous blog contests like this.<br /><br />Now, as to the <a href="http://www.gensantos.com/2009/11/27/5-reasons-on-why-you-should-watch-the-next-one-concert-blog-contest/">5 reasons why you and I should watch the Sarah Geronimo: The Next One Concert in Gensan: </a><br /><br />1: I have always been a follower of Sarah Asher Tua Geronimo, born July 25, 1988 and was the youngest singer during the "Star for A Night" reality-based show hosted by Regine Velasquez.<br /><br />2. Being a mother, I love how my kids react and sing to the tunes of Sarah's songs. She also starred in her soap opera Sarah: The teen Princess. This makes me envious of her achievements and through her as my inspiration, I have been patient with my daughter in singing lullabies as I want her to become a singer too. My daughter loves Sarah, and when she watches ASAP, her eyes are glued to the screen when Sarah comes onstage.<br /><br />3. Forever's Not Enough is one of my favorite songs, it tells of the love of one to someone even until forever but it can't be enough to show how much one loves the other. Here's part of the psalm I want to share with you:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">If i would have to live my life again</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">I'd stay in love with you the way I've been</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Your love is something no one ever can replace</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">I can't imagine life with someone else</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">I promise, I will share my life with you</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Forever may not be enough it's true</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">My heart is filled with so much love I feel for you</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">No words can say how much I love you so.</span><br /></div><br />4: Have you noticed how she dances and sings her heart out in ASAP? I want to feel that jive, the energy and the love she puts on her every song. She is one cool performer. For me, she equals the likes of J. Lo, Britney Spears, and Madonna.<br /><br />5. The Next One Concert is one thing I have long waited for. Ever since it has been announced in the Air Supply Concert. What say you? Billy Crawford, Jay-R, Mark Bautista is part of the concert! Couldn't ask for more!<br /><br />This blog contest is actually the only thing that keeps us bloggers to a healthy competition, but after this, the laughter and the fun of being together once more, enjoying life, unwinding, relieving the stress that eats us up day by day. So this next thing will surely keep us back to good senses.<br /><br />Thanks to other sponsors who have been paving this next thing for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">apolaustic</span> Generals! Our gratitude!<br /><br />How often could great performers visit Gensan and give a concert?
