The Comfort Rooms is excited to reveal what it thought were the Top 10 Stories for the year 2010. Read and comment my readers! This will be in no particular order.

2010 is definitely different from 2009. Though there are a few things that remained the same, 2010 is unique enough to make me conclude that this is a better year.
In the first place, how many of us would have been confident to proclaim that the present year has been better than the previous year? In a time full of pessimists, it is indeed...

There must be riot in the streets of Jakarta right now.
After getting into the final of the AFF Suzuki Cup 2010, everyone should be in party mode - the President, the spectators, people at home, all13,500 islands of Indonesia, the players, and especially that Bahraini referee.
It was a well-deserved victory for them. That small chocolate-brown...

Fine, so Indonesia beat the Philippines 1-0 at the first of their semis matches at the 2010 AFF Suzuki Cup. It was a close fight with the Philippines conceding only the second goal throughout the competition and suffered its first loss as well.
While the loss wasn't really a big thing for me, I mean, who would have thought the Philippines...

For the second straight year, The Biggest Loser produced a winner that I didn't exactly like. Last year, it was David who ended up the winner and this year, it is Raj. Both contestants that aren't exactly the nicest. Both are of Indian-descent and both have had left cocky imprints on the show that made them produce a few haters (me included).Although...

I am one of the millions of Filipinos who felt numb and helpless upon hearing that the Vizconde massacre suspects have been acquitted.
I hope the Supreme Court was right with this one and that the real suspects will be caught soon. But until the real suspects will surface, ordinary Filipinos like me will still see the Supreme Court as one...

Finally! An all-female team won The Amazing Race!
Doctors Nat and Kat ended up as winners of the race! Congratulations ladies!
Right from the start of the season, I always felt that these doctors was the team to beat (Jill and Thomas for me was a close second). And they sure did! First females to ever win the race!
Looks like girl...

First of all, I forgot about the fight! I was preparing lunch (Philippines timezone) a few hours ago, completely forgetting about UFC 124 - the fight that would bring Georges "Rush" St. Pierre and Josh "Kos" Koscheck together for yet another exciting fight.
True to what people have been guessing, GSP won fight, in a dominating fashion....

The AFF Suzuki Cup 2010 has shown one side of Southeast Asians that is highly appalling. We Southeast Asians are such racists. You heard me right folks, we are such disgusting racists.

Since soccer, I mean football is not a very popular sport in the Philippines, only a handful would go out and watch it, which means a lot fewer would even care giving it a try and a fraction of it would consider playing the sport competitively thus making it one of the least lucrative sports to advertise in, as far as the Philippines is concerned.
However, football is slowwwwwly gaining ground the past few years. Fil-foreigners...

For starters, I think this LeBron "mural" looks great. For some reason, it reminded me of Salma Hayek's Frida Kahlo. :)

Overrated.
That's how I describe KFC Double Down - the newest food craze that hit this side of the globe. When Manila got introduced to this meal, everybody went salivating. Everyone made a pact that he/she must try it cos it looked (the TVC to be exact) really inviting and filling and heavy and yummy. Being the food lover that I am, I...

I'm still not over the NU 107 Last Goodbye feeling. It was just plain sad. Like a part of me was taken out without justice.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the most rocked-out person out there. But I know what good music is. And NU 107 provided Manila with a great music option, thanks to its purely rock genre.

Someone's so messing up with The Amazing Race Asia 4 on Wikipedia. I know anyone who was caught divulging info about the race outcome is liable to an amount reaching millions of dollars. Whoever the troll is, he's got to pay. Big time.

Well, what's a really beaten-down face when there's a multi-million dollar prize in waiting, right?! So yeah, congratulations as well to him. Hopefully, he's the last Mexican that Pacquiao...

I can't believe that the 6/55 Grand Lotto prize now stands at a whopping 410 million pesos (roughly US$9,372,499.71)! That's the biggest ever lottery prize in the Philippines (I think) and if nobody won, the jackpot will just keep on ballooning

This is a milestone birthday for me. Why? Because I'm already 26.
And 26 is a serious number. Why? Because it's past the first quarter mark - which for me symbolizes youth in human earth years. Now that I'm 26, I'm officially old.
Old.
Old.
Old.
And more old. And it doesn't stop from there. (I'm old)
Goodbye youthfulness. Goodbye irresponsibility....

Check the sked and be depressed. this does not make sense to me.
How can a stalwart like NU 107 go off-air and be reformatted into something else? Though I'm not the biggest rock fan, it pains me to realize that Manila will be denied with yet another genre of music. In a world full of dance and pop music, NU 107 was a breath of fresh...

3. Countless trips around the office just to cut down on my boredom
4. Get preoccupied...

Case in point:
I can't appreciate K-Pop
I don't enjoy Chinese martial arts films
I hate the smell of Chinese incense
and this one majorly important thing.
I hate Asian...

So all of the Chilean miners have been saved by now. I was surprised when two officemates didn't even know what the heck it was that happened in Chile.
