...Or the lying down game

Planking or the lying down game is an activity consisting of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location. The hands must touch the sides of the body and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the internet is an integral part of the game. Players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play. The term planking refers to mimicking a wooden plank.

Many participants of planking since 2011 have photographed the activity on unusual locations such as atop poles, roofs and vehicles, while some "plankers" engage in the activity by planking only their upper body and feet while leaving the back suspended.

Who started this craze?



Planking is claimed to have been invented by Gary Clarkson and Christian Langdon in 1997. It was first played and became popular in North East England. However, comedian Tom Green claims to have invented "planking" as early as 1994.


The lying down game spread to the rest of the world, where it has also been known as 시체놀이 or playing dead in South Korea on 2003, à plat ventre or On one’s belly in France on 2004, extreme lying down in Australasia on 2008, facedowns in USA and Ireland on 2010), and planking in Australia & New Zealand and worldwide this year.

IS THAT JUSTIN BIEBER?

I'm flying today... for GOOD. The definite comeback should be six months to a year after. If I'm not back in a year, it only means that I won't be back in a couple of years or more.

Wish me luck in this new endeavor. May I find peace and happiness in this fate. 

Of course, this blog would still be a venue of my *ehem* CRAZYNESS. Since I will be living in a new State, sure you will experience new posts. Hope you'll still like it without the Pilipinas side of my story...

Stay with me... I will always keep you in my heart wherever I maybe.

The Starbucks 2011 Planner

November is the best time of the year to get a planner. Plan your life 2 months ahead for the coming year. Make sure you plan it well and organized, especially the out of town vacays and extra important occays you’ll attend.

from Roelle

There are lots of beautiful planners out there.

Belle de Jour is my personal favorite. There’s Design Your Life planner sold at Multiply. A lot were sold on bookstores. Some schools also have their very own academe planner versions. There’s a couple available at Coffee shops that comes free after indulging yourself to cups of coffee.

One of the much awaited coffee Planners is the Starbucks planner. Starbucks Planner 2011 is a pretty good choice for a planner. But it’s quite hard to own one, at least for me. One needs to collect a number of stickers that goes with every cup purchase to avail the planner.

The planners are out today at any Starbucks Branch. The limited edition Starbucks Coffee 2011 Planner comes in five color themes.  With just 17 stickers to collect, your very own planner is yours to keep.

Also, the 3 seasonal Starbucks Christmas coffees are back… Of the three, I love the Toffee Nut Latte, hot and cold.

from pinoycravings

What is your sticker collecting strategy? If the planner ever comes in pink… expect me to throw a coffee party the same day. Perhaps, that’ll also be the time I’ll die to own and have a Starbucks Limited Edition Planner.

Also, if you’re not of an avid Starbucks coffee drunkard, I’m sure you can get it on e-bay and if you can wait a little longer, the planner prices on e-bay downs really during the 1^st quarter of the planner’s year.

But! Hey! It’s not just about the stickers and the planner, not even the coffee… It’s about the time you and your coffee-cupship buddy spent together.

Waiting for Daylight

Waiting For Daylight is the fourth album of the Boyband A1 and their 1st album after Paul  Marrazi left the band.

Why did Paul left the Band?

There’s really no clear reason why Paul left. He might have cited he left for personal reasons but maybe he wanted a band where he is the lead. Three years after the bands break up, Paul started a band called Snagsby.

Read released his debut solo single, "Greatest Lady In My Life", on 2009. On the same year, his debut solo album, Peace At Last, was release.

Christian Ingebrigtsen also began a solo career in 2003. His first solo single, “In Love With An Angel” stayed in the Top 10 of Norway Singles Chart for almost three months. Christian didn’t just ventured into music after a1, he also moved to show business.

At the Big Bro House

The Bands Lead Ben Adams went on a solo career in 2005 and made it to the 18th spot on the UK Singles Chart with his first solo single, “Sorry”.  In 2009, Ben Adams joined the UK Celebrity Big Brother where he’s one of the remaining five housemates to leave the house.

Coming Back…

In Summer of 2009, the band made an official announcement that they will play a series of concerts[without Paul in Oslo in the December of that year. At the same time, they also announced that their first new single after 7 years, “Take You Home” will be released on iTunes[Norway] on November 2.
