Hotnothot 31

Hothot: The 16-yr old sailor. Just recently, a young Aussie girl completed sailing around the world alone and unassisted. Jessica Watson, 16 years old from Australia, finished her record-setting journey last May 15. Of course she was monitored via GPS, satellite phones and all the advanced technology fitted into her pink sailboat. But she did all the sailing by herself. What a feat for someone who would normally fuss about her nail color or her campus crush. But she’s one different girl. Brave, adventurous and an achiever at that.

Hothot: The 13-yr old mountain climber. And they seem to get younger. This one, a boy barely out of his diapers completed the most arduous trek in the world and became the youngest to have conquered Mt Everest. And it seems like Jordan Romero, 13 years old from California, is just getting started. He plans to conquer the seven summits while he’s at it. Way to go boy! It’s a lot better than curling up the sofa with your PSP, right?

Hothot: Revillame out. On-line polls and forums say he’s no longer welcome and should quit his Tv show. Sakit non huh. Matapos mamayagpag, mag-yabang at mag-astang hari, heto at magigising ka sa katotohanang marami na pala ang nabubwisit sa iyo. Napuno na sa mga kaangasan mo. Some of your paid writers said kami lang mga may access sa internet ang galit sa iyo. Mahal ka pa rin daw ng masa, ng mahihirap na binibigyan mo ng pera. Asa pa kayo. Walang pinag-iba sa vote buying yan. Bigyan mo ng pera, sasabihin sa iyo iboboto ka. Pagtalikod mo, mumurahin ka pa at sasabihang tanga. Which means, kahit si Bentong ang ilagay na host dyan, sisigaw pa rin sila ng ‘ang gwapo-gwapo moooo’ as long as may perang dumadapo sa palad nila. So wake up and smell your feet. Your delusion of infinite fame and power is about to end. Don’t worry, I won’t forget to thank you pag isang araw, you opened the door for me. Marangal namang trabaho ang maging doorman.

Hotnot: The Big Oil Spill. It’s been weeks since the oil rig burned down and crude oil started seeping out of underwater pipes in the biggest disaster to hit the Gulf of Mexico. Billions of gallons of oil has covered large areas and it looks like BP has got no more ace up their sleeve to stop the spill. The US government is already fuming mad. Residents along the affected areas are almost sure to lose their source of livelihood. And that’s just above the surface. Beneath the waters, I cannot imagine how many poor and helpless marine creatures are suffering and dying right now. Along with seaweeds, corals and other marine life. The prospect of a huge ecological imbalance is so real. And this is just one oil rig. What if something like this happens to 2 or 3 more. With aging off-shore rigs scattered everywhere, it’s one big possibility.

Hotnot: Fergie’s Folly. Remember Sarah Ferguson, the red-haired girl who, like Diana, married into England’s royal family when she became Prince Andrew’s wife? Well, that was like two decades ago. Now she’s divorced from the Prince, got two teen-age daughters and are reportedly having financial troubles. And she’ll get into deeper, stickier troubles because she was caught ‘selling access’ to Prince Andrew who is now UK’s Trade Ambassador. She can’t deny it. Even the US$ 40,000 neatly piled in front of her was caught on video. Now she’ll have a new title - her royal greaseness!
