Andi Eigenmann And Bret Jackson split -
James Reid
James Reid revealed that his best- friend Bret Jackson is hurting over Andi Eigenmann. The two are no longer dating.
James and Bret are both products of “Pinoy Big Brother,” with James the eventual
big winner.
It was too early any-
way to say that you love
someone, James said. Andi and Bret only knew each other for two months and that time, Andi was going through a tough time with Jake Ejercito. Andi and Bret were seen together in Cosmo Bachelor Bash last September 25. However, there were rumors lately that Andi and Jake are back together. Although Bret did not say specifically how he was feeling about what happened, James said he is sure he’s hurting. “I know if he’s feel- ing good or he’s feeling bad. Even if he doesn’t say it.”The two took a short vacation together. Bret initially went to Dumaguete and then met James in Cebu. They stayed in Movenpick Ho- tel in Mactan and they hang out and just relaxed. James, however, said no one should be blamed in what hap- pened because love is a complicated thing. He said Andi is a nice girl, and he knew she never intended to hurt anyone. It’s difficult to be in love be- cause you don’t listen to anyone else
but yourself.
When it comes to Bret, James is
sure his bestfriend knows what he’s doing.
NAIA, one of world’s worst airports in a different list
A Dangerous epidemic is sweeping Canada
Some folks have come up with a possible cure.
It’s an epidemic that might turn into a catas- trophe if not stopped now. Plenty of Cana- dians are doing it — some without even re- alizing that they’re putting their lives at risk.
We’re talking about TaW: Texting and Walking, people. Or, as it’s now called, “wexting.” Yes, it’s a cringe-worthy word, but it’s be- come a part of your everyday life — we know, we’re guilty of it too. And while China’s solution to helping cell phone addicts is to “award” them with their very own traffic lane (use at your own risk), people guilty of TaW in one Canadian city are getting
stopped right in their tracks.
If you’re crossing select in- tersections in Vancover and Victoria with your eyes glued to your cellular device, you’ll receive a banner ad on your phone that says, “If you’re texting while walking, have a word with yourself.” It’s embarrass- ing, but it seems like it’d be pretty effective. So, whose brilliant idea was this? A group called Community Against Preventable In- juries (CAPI). They’re testing “geofencing” technology in an attempt to reduce the number of injuries suffered by people who
are “wexting,” according to CTV News. The organization says that in B.C. alone, more than 2,700 pedestrians are injured each year. Forty per cent are due to dis-
tractions or ignoring traffic signals. Oy!
The moral of this story? That text can wait
until you’ve crossed the street safely.
NAIA cited anew as ‘one of world’s worst airports.
MANILA - According to a list compiled by US website, The Cheat Sheet, NAIA is among the 10 worst airports in the world because of its poor facilities and long queues.
The Cheat Sheet also cited the airport’s “impolite” staff, despite Filipinos being known around the world for their warmth.
“Travelers complained about the airport’s rundown facilities, impolite staff and officials, and long wait times,” the article said.
The article also mentioned the airport’s overcapacity, which has resulted to long lines that begin outside the terminal.
“This Manila-based airport struggles with the 32 million passengers who use its facility each year. That shouldn’t come as a shock, though, considering it only has the capacity for 6 million passengers, according to CNBC,” it said.
However, the airport dropped to fourth place on the list, by review website The Guide to Sleeping in Airports which named it the worse in 2013.
According to the site, the survey still showed the same travelers’ complaints over the NAIA-Terminal 1, such as “overcrowding,
lengthy queues, limited seating, unfriendly immigration/customs officers and smelly toi- lets.”
However, The Cheat Sheet noted that “good news” are in store for NAIA with upgrades and renovations already in progress.
The Department of Transportation and Communications earlier appealed for the public’s understanding while renovation works are ongoing.
Renovation is expected to be completed by April 2015.
Also making the list of worst airports are the following:
—Charles De Gaulle in Paris
—Los Angeles International
—Italy’s Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport
—New York’s LaGuardia Airport;
—Zurich International in Switzerland —Chad’s N’Djamena International Airport —Russia’s Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport —Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in
Arkansas
—India’s Calcutta Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
