My First Hosting Of Foreign Tourist
I have my experience of hosting a foreign tourist last July 10, 2009 when Derek Imai, a Canadian of Japanese descent with his daughter Abe pays us a visit to travel and wander around the Philippines' marvels and to visit Abe's playmate in Baguio City. They arrived at 5:30 pm but still look enthusiastic to roam around and see places. Abe after a while of rest, quickly ran outside to play with kids and ride a bike. She is friendly and can easily adjust to her environment while Derek go around and talk to our neighbors, getting to know each other and learn something from them. Both of them are outgoing, friendly and felt at home with their new environment. When its already late, they went inside and I talk with them and and kids in after awhile dinner is served with rice, noodles, fish. They like it since they eat the same food back in Canada. At 9pm, Abe went to sleep first while I chat with Derek about Canada, the current events in the country, and any interesting things about sports and entertainment while we watch tv a comedy show Bubble Gang, Philippines' most hilarious and longest running comedy show. I showed him the photo album of our family and tell them a short description of it. It's already midnight when we slept. The next day its raining hard so Abe with her playmates stay inside and chat but Abe wonder why they stay outside when kids back in Canada go and play outside when its raining. I explained to her that parents don't allow their kids to play outside to prevent catching cold and fever. After awhile when the rain is almost over we were asked by mum to buy something for lunch in the market so I bring Derek and Abe with me and the rest of the gang to roam around and see our little town of Alimodian, a small sleepy laidback town of 39,000 people located in the southwest Iloilo, Philippines. We return then they eat for lunch before leaving for Cebu. Although they only stayed for a day but for me it's an experience of a lifetime. An experience which is worth remembering and worth learning from. In return, I can visit or even work and live in Canada in the future and hopefully I coud visit Derek and Abe which once become my visitors and my friends!

Miss Universe trivia
The Miss Universe is a prestigious international event that has grown since its inception from 1952. The international beauty pageant with participants from over 80 nations is bound to have some interesting trivia. In this space we have provided you with such information that is not very commonly known. The origin of the Miss Universe beauty pageant was shrouded with a controversial start. The local bathing beauty contest, spearheaded by Catalina Swimwear in Long Beach, CA metamorphosed into the international annual tradition of Miss Universe 2008. It was when Miss America 1951 Yoland Betbeze refused to wear swimwear for Catalina Swimwear that the brand’s manufacturer Pacific Mills pulled out of the event and started Miss Universe beauty pageant.
The controversies related to the event began from the inception of the beauty pageant. Armi Kuusela of Finland, who became the first Miss Universe in 1952, gave up her crown shortly before her one year reign as the Miss Universe ended. The beauty from Finland did so as she wished to get married to a Filipino tycoon, Virgilio Hilario. Another Miss Universe who resigned prior to the full one year completion as her Miss Universe reign was Miss Universe 1974, Amparo Munoz. Ms Munoz resigned her title in the six month of her reign.Though the event is bases on global harmony and equity, there have been incidents in the past when protests have occurred against some of the contestants of the event. In 1993, Miss USA Kenya Moore was booed by the local crowds, when the event was held in Mexico. Fourteen years later in 2007, when the event was again organized in Mexico, Miss USA Rachel Smith was booed by the local crowds owing to what they saw as US unfriendliness toward illegal immigrants. In another interesting incident Miss Universe 1996, Alicia Machado of Venezuela was warned by the Miss Universe organization as she had exceeded the maximum weight required during her reign.
In the year 1999, Miss Guam Universe Trisha Elaine Heflin was barred from participating in the Miss Universe 1999 for being pregnant. The Miss Universe 1999, Mpule Kwelagobe however won the title that year as she gave a fitting reply to the controversial question, whether a Miss Universe who became pregnant be allowed to continue her reign. The young lady from Botswana to the question replied that a Miss Universe should be allowed to continue her reign as being pregnant was a sign of femininity, which Miss Universe stands for. The Miss Universe 2007 was also a hotbed for interesting and unique information. Miss Sweden, Isabel Lestapier Winqvist, unexpectedly pulled out from the event owing to complaints in her country that the beauty pageant degrades women. Sweden has won the coveted crown three times in the past. It will be an interesting fact to note that no Miss Congeniality has ever gone to win the Miss Universe title. The newly constituted nation Kosovo has sent its delegate for Miss Universe 2008 for the first time in the beauty pageant in Vietnam.

Miss Universe 2009
We temporarily stop updating the coverage for the FIFA World CUp 2010 South Africa to give way to the coming pageants. Miss Universe will be the first and opening of a series of beauty pageants this August in Bahamas since it is the most glamorous and most prestigious event of all beauty pageants. By September, it will be the men's turn to shine when Mr. World wil be held in South Korea and later Miss Tourism Queen in China. Comes October, the second most important pageant of the grand slam that concerns the environment, Miss Earth will pave the way for the most glamorous and exotic young lady who will inherit the Mother Earth, Miss International will grace the month of November and finally Miss World will culminate this year's pageants in December.
This August we will feature all about Miss Universe, the most glamorous of all pageants. Started as a local swimwear competition in 1952 by Catalina swimwear and created the MiSS USA pageant after Miss America 1952 Yolanda Betbetze refused to wear the swimwear that Catalina Swimwear is a major sponsor of the pageant until the competition gained the attention of the international community and propose a bigger competition among nations thus the birth of Miss Universe in 1952.
The first Miss Universe was hed at Long Beach Municipal Auditorium, California on (date). An 18-year old blonde and blue-eyed lass from Muhos, Finland named Armi Kuusela captured the very first Miss Universe crown.She,however,did not finish her reign because after a whirlwind romance she later married the Filipino bachelor Virgilio Hilario but she remained as Miss Universe 1952. The next year, another European was crowned as Miss Universe 1953 in the person of Christiane Martel of France. Miss Universe is also evolving and is passed from one generation to another from Catalina swimwear to Donald Trump. Most winners of the pageant came from Latin Americas, Europe and Asia and a few from Africa and Caribbeans. Miss Universe remains the most glamorous and prestigious and biggest beauty pageant in the world considering the standards of winners, the prizes, the charitable cause and of course, the pageant itself. It is being watched by billions of audience around the world on a live broadcast on television. Several cities and countries already hosted the event including Long Beach, Miami Beach, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Honolulu in USA, San Juan in Puerto Rico, Athens, Greece, Manila in Philippines, San Salvador, El Salvador, Mexico City, Mexico, Seoul, South Korea, Taipei, Taiwan, Singapore, Bangkok, Thailand, Windhoek, Namibia, Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, Nicosia, Cyprus, Panama City, Panama, Quito, Ecuador & Vietnam.

BOOTS FETISH
As I grow up during my teenage years, there are lots of physical changes to my body as I also explore my sexuality. My voice become big and hoarse. Lots of hair grew in my legs, armpit, and even private parts as well as beard and moustache. Pimples sprout like mushroom everywhere in my face are just examples of physical change that I need to live by and adjust to.
One of the funniest physical changes that happen in all guys is the "wet dreams". It occurs mostly during the early stages of teenage years and on nights when most of us are sound asleep and dreaming. When we are beautifully dreaming of something and our private part contracts and becomes hard, it pops and pops and explode lots of liquid and when we woke up, we are surprised to feel that we unloaded lots of sticky fluid that comes from within us, that we even barely know even in our unconscious state. It happends several times to me and when I open it out and tell my family about it, they just laugh at it and told me it is just a normal event happening to a guy. Because of this, I began to wonder ask myself questions and try to find answers to this mystery as I unfold the changes that is happening to me.
The kinkiest thought appears on mind thinking the releasing of something is fun, relaxing and satisfying. I notice when my thing converts into steel it can easily release some sticky fluid and the way to keep my thing strong and hard to keep myself tight. The way to keep me tight is through fit jeans but I have a loose jeans so I tie my jeans tight in my ankle with a string so I can be a steel and my way of releasing all my anger is by rubbing. I rub my steel inside my jeans through our stair. Most late evenings I go up and down the stairs to rub my steel and just to vent out my anger. So funny and ridiculous and what a shame on my part and a bit embarassment so I decided to keep it to mysef.
I keep on thinking on way of how to get rid of it not until I saw pictures of soldiers in boots then suddenly my thing stands upright and converted into steel and I can't go control myself venting out. So I got now the idea and explanations to my questions that keeps my bugging for years since I was young that each time I saw or wear some boots like shoes I feel tight and my thing converts into steel and when I was young I hate to wear sneakers that almost resemble boots not until now when I grew up and realize its purpose. The boots fetish as they say is most popular in western countries mostly German and surrounding European countries but is now gaining grounds in Americas as well. The boots are popularized in pop culture by the western world gang or group called Skinheads. The idea of getting myself tight by just wearing or seeing someone in boots makes me kinky. I wonder I feel like a woman sometimes by feeling tight. lol!

FIFA World Cup Trivia
Performances by host nations
See also: National team appearances in the FIFA World Cup#Results of host nations
Six of the seven champions have won one of their titles while playing in their own homeland, the exception being Brazil, who finished as runners-up after losing the deciding match on home soil in 1950.
England (1966) and France (1998) won their only titles while playing as host nations. Uruguay (1930), Italy (1934) and Argentina (1978) won their first titles as host nations but have gone on to win again, while Germany (1974) won their second title on home soil.
Other nations have also been successful when hosting the tournament. Sweden (runners-up in 1958), Chile (third place in 1962), Korea Republic (fourth place in 2002), Mexico (quarter-finals in 1970 and 1986), and Japan (second round in 2002) all have their best results when serving as hosts. So far, all host nations have progressed beyond the first round.
Best performances by continental zones
See also: National team appearances in the FIFA World Cup#Results by confederation
To date, the final of the World Cup has only been contested by European and South American teams. The two continents have won nine titles apiece. Only two teams from outside these two continents have ever reached the semi-finals of the competition: USA (North, Central America and Caribbean) in 1930 and Korea Republic (Asia) in 2002. The best result of an African team is reaching the quarter-finals: Cameroon in 1990 and Senegal in 2002. Oceania has only been represented in the World Cup three times, and an Oceanian qualifier has reached the second round once, as Australia qualified as an Oceanian nation in 2005, although they moved to the Asian Football Confederation before the beginning of the tournament.
All World Cups won by European teams have taken place in Europe and the only teams to have won outside Europe come from South America. The only non-European team to win a tournament in Europe is Brazil in 1958. Only twice have consecutive World Cups been won by teams from the same continent – when Italy and Brazil successfully defended their titles in 1938 and 1962 respectively.

Notes
1.^ There was no official World Cup Third Place match in 1930; The United States and Yugoslavia lost in the semi-finals. FIFA now recognizes the United States as the third-placed team and Yugoslavia as the fourth-placed team, using the overall records of the teams in the tournament.[38]
2.^ a b There was no official World Cup final match in 1950.[39] The tournament winner was decided by a final round-robin group contested by four teams (Uruguay, Brazil, Sweden, and Spain). However, Uruguay's 2–1 victory over Brazil was the decisive match (and also coincidentally one of the last two matches of the tournament) which put them ahead on points and ensured that they finished top of the group as world champions. Therefore, this match is often considered the "final" of the 1950 World Cup.[40] Likewise, Sweden's 3–1 victory over Spain (played at the same time as Uruguay vs Brazil) ensured that they finished third.
Winners and finalists

Map of winning countries. In all, 75 nations have played in at least one World Cup.[41] Of these, only 11 have made it to the final match, and only seven have won. The seven national teams that have won the World Cup have added stars to the crest, located on their shirt, with each star representing a World Cup victory.
With five titles, Brazil are the most successful World Cup team and also the only nation to have played in every World Cup to date.[42] Italy (1934 and 1938) and Brazil (1958 and 1962) are the only nations to have won consecutive titles.
Below is a list of the 11 teams that have played in a World Cup final. Brazil and Germany each finished as either winners or runners-up seven times.
