The Power of a Freddie Mercury Moustache
November 20, 2014
I'm in the process of doing something I've never done before… I'm growing a Freddie Mercury moustache.
I'm revealing the moustache on World AIDS Day, December 1. Then, with your help we will, WE WILL rock AIDS together for the MTV Staying Alive Foundation. Because on December 4, 5 and 6 donations to this organization are doubled! So a generous donation of $10 will count as $20. (Don't worry, I'm not going to insult you by giving any more examples.)
I'm proud to be a board member for MTV Staying Alive- they support incredible work around the world and make a true difference in peoples' lives by funding community members to address the specific HIV needs where they live. And a little money goes a long way.
I'll have details on how you can help very soon, and will be posting growth progress. Right now it's a bit patchy, dawg. But with your good vibes I'm sure I'll be able to grow a stache that Freddie would endorse. And with your help, we will grow a moustache that harnesses the same kind of power that Freddie used to rock audiences.
We Are the Champions,
Pedro Zamora, Half A Lifetime Ago
November 11, 2014
Today marks 20 years since Pedro Zamora passed. That's half my lifetime ago, but the loss still resonates with me because of Pedro's influence on my life and my work as an educator. His relationship with Sean Sasser on MTV's Real World showed me that a loving, healthy relationship with HIV was possible. Pedro's roommates reactions to his status were mixed in the beginning, but the solid friendships that grew (particularly with Judd Winick) made me realize how cool my friends would probably be if I ever spoke about HIV.
See, half my lifetime ago, when I "met" Pedro through his appearance on my television, I was a year and a half away from talking about my HIV status. At that time, in 1994, I'd spent pretty close to half my lifetime living with HIV… yet I'd never openly discussed my status, only when backed into a corner by my parents or at a doctor's appointment. Or when someone ratted me out to a girlfriend.
Pedro showed me that you can disclose on your terms. That HIV can just be an extension of who you are. If someone has a problem with your status, it's not your fault it's their ignorance that is the reason for the uneasiness.
His educational style was more straightforward and less laid back than the one that I would adopt after I spoke out; but in the pre-protease era, that's how you needed to reach people. I loved watching him educate on The Real World, then simply live his private life in public as he fell in love with Sean Sasser and shared laughs with Judd and his other roommates over silly, mundane things.
As I was watching from my parent's house where I was living at the time, my now-partner, Gwenn, was also tuning in. Her thoughts on Pedro:
"I remember watching the San Francisco season of the Real World between
my freshman and sophomore year of college at my friend's house each
week. When I went back to school that fall I also remember the day that
Pedro Zamora passed. It was very soon after that I heard a young woman
speak at my school who was HIV positive and that is where my journey to
becoming an activist began. It's been 20 years today since Pedro's death
and although I didn't know it at the time it was the precursor to my
When Pedro passed in the fall of 1994- the same day that the last episode of his season of the Real World aired, I was devastated. All of my fears of my own mortality, which I'd mistakenly thought I'd come to terms with, bubbled up. Throughout Pedro's journey, I was making baby steps towards a future I didn't think was for me: being open about my HIV status. But after he died I just wanted to go back to never thinking about HIV again, and I hated it for taking my new hero so abruptly.
Ironically, Pedro was a hero I couldn't even say was my hero: half my lifetime ago I was still so quiet about my HIV status.
A year after his passing, there was a Real World Reunion. Judd, Puck, Pam, Sean and the rest of the cast were there. Everyone except Pedro. Judd teared up and asked viewers to "do something" about HIV, anything. It was a desperate plea not only for himself, still grief-stricken, but also a call to arms that his friend, Pedro, would have given had he been there. I was in a lingering depression, one that would last a couple more months- 1994 had been tough, I lost pop culture heroes in Pedro and Kurt Cobain and was also blindsided by a hepatitis C diagnosis.
At the beginning of 1996, I was ready to answer Judd's call. I posted a website, outing my status once and for all. I began to hone my craft as a writer and develop an educational style that, like Pedro's, was just an extension of who I was.
And now it's a half a lifetime later. Pedro's not here in the physical sense, but his influence has stayed with me over the years. I have the love and the life I dreamed of when I was watching him and learning about his life; a journey he unselfishly shared.
I'll never forget the doors he helped to open up for me in my own journey.
Positively Yours,
Miley Cyrus & Rihanna TittyF#%k AIDS (In A Good Way)
November 3, 2014
At a recent amfAR fundraiser, Miley Cyrus and Rihanna showed up in risque and boob-revealing outfits. Which is the same thing as saying that President Obama showed up to a State of the Union address wearing a tie. Some people may have been put off- but the outfits turned heads and made headlines, thus making many fans of both artists aware that their heroes support the HIV/AIDS cause.
What's even better than that? The fact that Miley and Rihanna's hearts didn't just hide behind those breasts. Anyone who was upset by their appearance were quickly silenced by the generous donations that both stars made at the event, which helped amfAR raise over $3 million.
Being a rockstar isn't just about singing the songs, playing the shows, making the mad money or looking the part; being a rockstar is ultimately about rocking the world. And contributing money and raising awareness about the need for continued research for a cure for HIV is about as rockin' as it gets. I've been living with HIV since I was 11, a time when I fell in love with Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven on Earth" album. I want to live to see the day when HIV is cured- so myself and others can live the healthiest lives possible.
Now that's heaven on Earth, right?
Thanks again, Miley and RiRi. Big HIV-positive hugs to you both!

THE TOWELING: A Halloween Horror Short Story
October 31, 2014
Gary lays naked on his bed in his modest NYC apartment in the East Village. The window is cracked open and a breeze comes in as he channel surfs. He shouts towards the cracked bathroom door that is several feet from the bed. "Save some hot water for me!" Gary tugs the sheet with his toes, managing to cover his knees without the use of either hand. "Don't pretend you can't hear me… ACE?" A loud laugh echoes from the shower. "You jackass," Gary says as he sighs, speeding through the channels before landing on a friendly face. "Oh, Anderson- now we're talking."
The water stops.
"Alright Gary, it's all yours-"
"Shhhhhhhhhh," Gary yells out. "It's the Coop!"
"Then pause that shit, Gary." Ace grabs a toothbrush, squeezes some paste onto it and hurriedly begins to brush as Gary bursts into laughter. "Whash sho funny?" No answer. Just more laughing. "Paush it, Gauwee!!!" Ace spits into the sink and rushes to the bedroom, which is the living room as well. Gary manages to shift his attention from Anderson to Ace. "Sorry, you took too long, missed all the good parts." Gary says teasingly as Ace stands beside him, dripping wet and still naked.
"Back it up- I want to see something funny." Ace demands.
"I guess it's only fair that we both get to see something funny right now," Gary says, prompting Ace to suck in his stomach before making a play for control of the remote. They wrestle for it until Gary agrees to Ace's demands. "Alright, alright, I'll back it up, geesh… but shut up because you gotta hear this."
Anderson Cooper throws to a clip of Pat Robertson from The 700 Club: "You might get AIDS in Kenya. The people have AIDS in Kenya. The towels could have AIDS."
"Oh my God, he didn't," Ace says, stunned.
"I know, right?"
"Back it up, I gotta hear that again," Ace says.
"Are you sure?" Gary asks with a smirk.
"Why not?"
"Because it looks like you're already too scared to use my AIDS towels."
"Oh shit," Ace says, looking down at the puddle of water at his feet. "sorry…"
Ace starts heading to the bathroom; but Gary stops him just long enough to grab a condom, wrapper and stack of tissues from the nightstand, plopping them into Ace's hand. Gary grabs Ace's elbow. "And don't forget to take your prep." "I never do," Ace replies.
"Any side effects?"
"No- two months in and I don't notice anything…"
"You know, Ace," Gary begins. "I'm undetectable, we use condoms… you don't have to-" "Shush, Gary," Ace says. "I'm not scared and don't mind. It's more for the guys out there who don't know their status, anyway, they're the ones I'm worried about."
"Well, you shouldn't be worrying about them at all," Gary says.
"Oh, ready to lock this down are we?" Ace asks.
Ace leans into Gary for a quick kiss before heading to the bathroom, where he discards the sex paraphernalia into the trash can before gazing into the mirror, shaking his head and smiling to himself. Ace flicks open the mirrored cabinet door and retrieves a prescription bottle. Before he opens it, he looks around for a towel but doesn't see one. "Please don't tell me you are out of clean towels," he whispers to himself before squatting down to check the cabinets underneath the sink.
"Gary, where are the— Gary?"
As Ace emerges from the bathroom he sees Gary laying on the bed, only now he has a white towel over his face. "You goof, playing peek-a-boo with yourself?" Ace asks as he walks toward Gary. "Give me that-"
Before he can finish his sentence, the towel flies up from Gary's face and floats above the bed. Gary's eyes are open, but are lifeless and white. Ace stumbles back towards the bathroom, reaching behind him for the doorway as the towel floating above the bed takes on the form and physical characteristics of a bat, flapping its wings. Through the cracked window several more towels fly in and head straight for Ace, knocking him into the bathroom and sending him spiraling through the shower curtain and causing him to fall into the bathtub.
The bathroom door closes. The only sounds to be heard throughout Gary's apartment now is the crackle of city life on the streets below and Anderson Cooper sarcastically taking Pat Roberston's warning to task: "Overseas… everything overseas is bacteria… you just can't even imagine. I'm starting to think that we'd be better off not traveling at all."
I'd also like to thank Pat Robertson and Anderson Cooper for their roles. Without Pat's imagination stories like The Toweling would not be possible.

My Hep Story
October 24, 2014
When people think of my medical conditions there tends to be a pecking order… HIV gets top-billing, then hemophilia (raise your voices, my fellow thinbloods!)… and at the end of the line is poor ol' hepatitis. Hep allowed me to share my story about how hepatitis has affected my life on their Hep Stories page.
It's been an interesting journey. As a kid, I forgot I even had hepatitis B because hemophilia cast a much bigger shadow on life. Then, as an adult living with HIV and dipping my toes into combination therapy, hepatitis C influenced my decision to take it easy on my liver and do a week on/week off schedule with my HIV medications. (Though I've been taking my HIV meds continuously and without interruption since 2013, I wrote about my week on/off strategy for POZ in 2009.)
See, there I go again. Linking to an article about HIV when this is supposed to be hepatitis's time to shine. I better wrap this blog entry before hemophilia starts to get jealous, causing a spontaneous nosebleed or an erection that lasts for more than 4 hours.

The HIV Question on Couples Therapy
October 15, 2014
Nina and Gwenn catching up over coffee in September.
Last week I tuned into Couples Therapy on VH1 because I'd heard that Bob Bowers would be making an appearance. I'm a huge fan of the One Tough Pirate, former POZ coverboy and current HIV asskicker. Though it wasn't the episode my beloved longtime activist friend was appearing on- HIV was a central theme, as one of the castmates revealed their HIV status publicly for the first time.
Evel Dick is no stranger to reality TV- he has appeared on Big Brother twice, winning season 8 and leaving season 13 early due to personal reasons. The personal reason being that his blood test for HIV (a requirement for Big Brother contestants) came up positive. On Couples Therapy, Dick's girlfriend wasn't comfortable with his wanting to come forward with his secret. I recognized his despair; he was in that undeniable moment when you can't fathom another day trying to ignore something that is literally a part of your biology. You have to break out.
During his session with Couples Therapy's resident therapist, Dr. Jenn, he was asked how he contracted HIV right off the bat. I wasn't thrilled with the question, neither was Gwenn (my partner who, like Dick's partner is HIV negative). About a week later, my good friend Nina Martinez, who has been HIV positive for most of her life, started a discussion with Evel Dick and Dr. Jenn on Twitter about the question of how HIV was contracted. Gwenn joined in and I soon followed.
So, without further ado, I'm going to pass this one on to my guest blogger, Nina, who has gone through the trouble of organizing a Twitter conversation and making it readable. There are also links to the show, and her thoughts on why the question (and answer) to "how did you contract it" was bothersome. It's a must-read in my opinion and I really appreciate Evel Dick and Dr. Jenn's willingness to share their perspectives with us.
This is best viewed by opening this PDF: "How You Talk and Ask About HIV Matters" by Nina Martinez (PDF) (Or click the tweets that are just a tiny sample of the conversation!)
Did you click the image? Do it… c'mon…
There ya go! Okay, now that you heard from Nina and everyone involved, I just want to end by saying that, yes, how we discuss HIV in private and in public ultimately matters. For the newly diagnosed it's tricky territory juggling the raw emotions of testing positive with an unknown etiquette. I know, I made quite a few mistakes when my desire to speak out preceded my understanding of the various landmines on the field. Professionals, like therapists, doctors and nurses, also need to be sensitive to HIV's social ramifications- which often overshadow the medical reality of living with the virus and is what keeps people silenced who are living with it.
I hope Dr. Jenn reads this blog entry and gets why the bluntness of the question is problematic at best and traumatic at worst for a lot of people with HIV. And I wish Dick all the best in this new phase of his life that includes living openly with HIV. I hope he and his partner really dig in, get informed on actual transmission rates for serodiscordant couples (astronomically low) and realize that their relationship can be a safe, intimate and loving one.
Positively Yours,
Ethan Zohn: Cancer and World Cup Survivor
July 10, 2014
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. But in the United States it's a polarizing topic of discussion, not unlike the issue of abortion, Michael Bay reboots and fanny packs at theme parks. (They're practical, y'all.) This summer, I've come down with Soccer Fever. Not since the World Cup in 1994 have I been so into the sport.
I wanted to talk about the World Cup, so I went to the only former soccer pro I know: Ethan Zohn. A co-founder of Grassroot Soccer, canzer crusher and Survivor Africa winner shares his thoughts on HIV, this year's World Cup tournament and what it means to truly survive life. (NOTE: Ethan's answers submitted before the Semi-Final matches between Brazil/Germany and The Netherlands/Argentina. He knows his shit.)
So, I gotta know, Ethan: do you have any favorites in the World Cup?
Of course I do, I live for World Cup. I have been to every World Cup since 1994. Before the cup, I felt Brazil would crush everyone. But now, I'm leaning towards an Argentina / Germany final with Argentina winning. Plus I love yelling out the name Schweinsteiger at random moments throughout the day.
What's up with that dude who bit the other dude?
That dude is Suarez, probably one of the best players in the world. To be honest I think he in love with Giorgio Chiellini. That was a love bite, not a foul. Plus Uraguay, where Suarez is from is the first country to regulate legal production, sale and consumption of marijuana. What do you expect?
I'd expect a more chill Suarez, but I've known people who freak out on the pot… a friend of mine… someone I know quite personally. He becomes a panicky mess… anyway…
After winning Survivor, you used the prize money to found Grassroot Soccer and help utilize the world's love of soccer in the fight against HIV. Several years later, you were diagnosed with cancer. I know you didn't found Grassroot to gain cosmic favor, but… you getting cancer after going to bat, er, going to kick ball for the HIV community, was one of the lamest fouls I've ever seen in the sport of life. How are you feeling these days?
Ha! True, I need to have a word with the referee of this game of my life…who is that? God? David Hasselhoff?
I'm feeling great and excited I'm alive and strong enough to drink beer and watch soccer all month. In the years leading up to my cancer diagnosis I have been working hard through Grassroot Soccer, to help prevent young kids in Africa from contracting this life threatening disease. I do not know what it is like to have HIV, nor do I have HIV. But, I do know what it's like to walk into an office and get handed a very scary life ending diagnosis. Getting cancer gave me some street cred. Now I just want to do everything in my power to make sure others do not have to go through the same crap we went through. Can I get a "hell yeah"….
Hell yeah! Lastly, any big goals for Grassroot Soccer during this World Cup season, or any of your other charitable efforts?
Where do I begin! We always have cool events and fundraising campaigns. Right now, WHEATIES (the iconic cereal that always has amazing athletes on their boxes) is running a contest #WheatiesNext – 5 up-and-coming athletes in a voting contest for who gets on the next box.

Interview w/ Merce's Charles Sanchez
June 30, 2014
A couple of weeks ago I blogged about Merce- a humorous web series that is centered around an HIV positive character living in NYC. I recently sat down with co-creator, Charles Sanchez… meaning, I sat at my laptop and fired him some questions and he sat at his and answered them. Enjoy!

Hey Charles! Love the concept for Merce- how long have you had the idea and what inspired it?
Hey, Shawn! Let me just say how happy I am to have met you and how much I enjoyed your book. I'm totally a fan.
I brought in my pal Tyne Firmin, who's an amazing director and actor, but had zero filming or editing experience. We shot what ended up being a whole web series, called Manhattan Man-Travels, truly ghetto-style, mostly for the joy of creating. Absolutely no budget. Very Judy and Mickey "Let's-put-the-show-on-right-
Merce spoke directly to the camera and we followed him through many crazy romantic situations, from dating and trolling the internet for sex to him being in an actual relationship. We feel like we have something really special in this character, and want to up the production values and see if we can reach a wider audience. We've added characters for him to interact with and focused the musical fantasy elements (every episode will have a short musical number). We decided to put Merce's HIV status more to the forefront, since there's no character in mainstream American media that's HIV positive.
And an HIV comedy? Well, that's crazy, right? We didn't set out to, but we lucked into doing something that no one else is doing.
Do you have a favorite HIV positive character from a movie?
But I haven't answered the question. Buzz from the play and movie of Love! Valour! Compassion! He deals with his status with humor, sometimes acidic humor, but he's authentic and courageous and funny, and doesn't let his HIV change who he is.
If you could give any character from a mainstream movie HIV (to make them more interesting) who would it be?
Oh, gosh! I don't know! Maybe Bridget Jones. With all her pouty angst and weight issues, and yet those dreamy men still seem to fall for her. What would happen if she also had to worry about whether her panties were still white, because maybe her Kaletra was causing some poops-a-daisy problems?
That would make for some good comedy. Or someone ridiculous maybe, like Wolverine or Harry Potter. Of course, if Harry Potter had HIV, he could just zap it right out of himself. He'd just take his wand and say, "Heenis-a-penis-a, no HIV-ness-a!"
I like that idea! How is fundraising for Merce going? Deadline? And what's the plan if you make your goal, and what's the plan if you don't?
Tyne and I are determined. We're going to make Merce happen no matter what. It's inevitable.

New freighter for SAA
Written by defenceWeb, Friday, 07 June 2013
Another Boeing, this one a 737 -300, will replace the current B737-200 and is expected to be delivered in July. The SAA Cargo fleet will then comprise three B737 300Fs and a B737 400F.
Tleli Makhetha, SAA Cargo general manager said the freighters will replace the aging fleet and will bring additional stability to the freight schedule. The bigger aircraft will provide customers with extra capacity on key routes. The B737- 400 freighter can carry up to 22 tons on 10 pallet positions.
New Africa routes will be introduced with this delivery. The aircraft schedule will support the Regional Africa flights including the domestic night Johannesburg/Cape Town route.
SAA Cargo has over the years strengthened its presence in Africa in response to the growing demand for air freight services.
"We are excited about new business opportunities and will continue to provide our customers with reliable connectivity to all key markets in the region," said Makhetha.

Overall, are you satisfied with your current job?
It's difficult to enjoy your life to the fullest and be happy at home if you're not happy at work. Figure that you spend 30 percent of each 24-hour day on the job each Monday through Friday, and that's a healthy percentage of your life devoted to work.
So it would probably be helpful to you if you really like what you're doing. Job satisfaction regularly shows up on surveys about gauging worker morale and how that affects your workplace and your home life at the same time.
Xoom, a worldwide leader in the money transfer business, conducted a survey of its Filipino American customers recently to dig deeper into how people like or dislike their jobs. Xoom asked this question: Overall, are you satisfied with your current job?
Perhaps not surprisingly, the highest percentage of those who took part in the survey – 76 percent – said that yes, they are satisfied with their current job. But that doesn't include everyone. Some might be looking around for a new line of work. Eleven percent answered the question by saying, no, they are not satisfied with their current job and 13 percent said that they are not really sure whether or not they are satisfied.
Xoom's Newest Advertising Campaign for the Hispanic Market Features Testimonials from Actual Xoom Customers
"Life Stories" latest in Xoom's Award-winning Hispanic Advertising Lineup
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, August 28, 2014 – Xoom Corporation (NASDAQ: XOOM), a leading digital money transfer provider, has launched a new advertising campaign for the U.S. Hispanic market based on testimonials from Xoom customers. Titled "Life Stories," the multimedia campaign features customers who share their personal stories, to illustrate how much they trust Xoom for their money transfers back home.
"Our customers, through their life stories, do the best job describing the benefits of sending money with Xoom; so we made them the stars of our TV ads," said Theresa Pasinosky, Director of Marketing for Latin America and Caribbean at Xoom. "It feels great to see how Xoom has changed our customers' lives, and has given them some time back to spend with their kids. These are real life customers that depend on us to help them take care of their families. We need to be dependable, transparent and the best we can be. Always."
A Xoom customer featured in the television commercials is Maria Mancia, She used to waste a lot of time going to the store, standing in line, waiting to send money. This was time that she would have preferred to spend with her children, reading and playing. When she discovered Xoom, she was able to send money in one or two minutes using the Xoom app. Maria is a happy customer who understands the time-saving benefit of using Xoom –and not going to a store.
Two new commercials, which launched this week, can be viewed below:

In a typical week, how many hours of overtime do you work?
Working overtime has become a way of life for many households. Longer hours, longer workweeks, often it's all part of the job, and keeping it. Of course, working overtime also pumps up the paycheck a little bit, so overtime pays off even it is sort of expected of you.
It's a tradeoff, though. You give up part of your week, but you also get paid for it. Some work at a few hours of overtime on the job during the week and then again, some people don't work any overtime.
So what are the actual percentages of how much overtime you have? Xoom wanted to find out. Xoom, a leader in the global money transfer business, conducted a survey of its Filipino American customers recently and asked how much overtime you work in a typical week.
The vast majority of those who responded in the survey, 55 percent, said they do not work any overtime at all in a typical week. Up to three hours a week of overtime was the second-highest percentage, 18 percent of those who responded. Fourteen percent said they worked from three to 10 hours of overtime in a usual week and 13 percent said they typically worked 10 hours or more of overtime a week.
Xoom's CEO Kunze Chats Bitcoin, Mobile Apps, and More
It's a hot-button topic, to be sure, but for money transfer powerhouse Xoom, the use of bitcoin just might be something that eventually comes into play. That's what Xoom CEO John Kunze said in a revealing interview with PYMNTS.com's CEO Karen Webster. You can check out the story for yourself, and also click on the accompanying audio link.
Everyone knows that Xoom occupies a pivotal position in the global money transfer business, but many may not know that the bitcoin currency opportunity could have a place in how money is moved.
Or not. There's a long way to go, Kunze said in the interview.
"I think anyone that wants to move money from point A to point B has to deal with . . . very important challenges that, for bitcoin to succeed, players in the ecosystem must also solve in addition to still being efficient and not costly."
Kunze mentioned self-regulation, consumer protection and regulation as challenges for bitcoin to become part of the money transfer business.
Xoom's chief pointed out that typically $500 billion in money transfers crosses borders each year, and he also touched on Xoom's groundbreaking mobile app that's making a lot of headway.
"More than half of our users are sending with our mobile app, which was a great milestone that we hit," Kunze said in the interview.
When was the last time you visited the Philippines?
Traveling on a vacation or visiting back home may not be the best part of your year, but there's a good chance it is. And getting back home to see friends and family and loved ones in the Philippines is at the top of the vacation list for many.
It cannot be easy to be away from those who are so close to you. And going back home to visit the Philippines may be a great opportunity to change that. Sometimes it's costly and getting time off isn't easy, either, but that started Xoom to thinking about traveling back home.
Xoom, a global leader in the money transfer business, conducted an exclusive survey of its Filipino American clients and asked this question: When was the last time you visited the Philippines?
As it turns out, the majority of those who answered the survey said it's been recently. A full 24 percent of the respondents said they have visited the Philippines this year and 22 percent said they had visited the Philippines most recently in 2013.
Fifteen percent of those in the survey said they last visited the Philippines in 2012; eight percent said their last visit was in 2011 and 19 percent said their most recent visit was before 2011. Some 11 percent said they have not visited the Philippines.
Do you think President Aquino is doing a good job with the Philippine economy?
Politics can be a tricky or even polarizing topic, but there is one aspect of it that's always in style. The economy. What's happening with it and are you happy with the way it's trending?
President Benigno S. Aquino III was sworn in four years ago with a significant mandate in his election. Son of legendary leaders in Filipino democracy, Benigno Aquino Jr. and Corazon Aquino, he probably has had enough time on the job for some opinions to be formed about his government's handling of the economy of the Philippines.
Aquino's government has pursued legislation reforms to build up investment opportunities and some reports reflect inflation at around 3.1 percent.
But Xoom, a global money transfer leader, wanted to know more. Xoom wanted to know how you feel, so Xoom conducted an exclusive survey of its Filipino-American customers recently and asked whether they thought President Aquino is doing a good job with the Philippine economy.
Aquino is doing a good job, according to 32 percent of the respondents in the survey. While 20 percent who took part in the survey said that Aquino is not doing a good job with the Philippine economy, the highest percentage of those who took the survey, 48 percent, said they had no opinion.
How many Facebook friends do you have?
Friends, how do you count them? The number and quality of your friends is one of the biggest aspects of socialization. We like to know what our friends are up to and in return, they're fond of keeping track of your activities as well, which is the sort of circle of friendship that we're all searching for.
These days, one of the most popular ways to track friendship is with Facebook, the social media giant, where giving a 'like' is giving a thumbs-up to your friend. And who doesn't enjoy writing (or seeing) a new status update?
Xoom, a leader in the global money transfer business, found the whole issue of Facebook compelling. So Xoom conducted an exclusive survey of its customers recently and asked about Facebook: How many Facebook friends to you have?
The most popular answer was one to 99 Facebook friends, which is what 30 percent of the respondents in the survey said. The next highest percentage, 24 percent, said they had somewhere between 100-299 Facebook friends. Some 14 percent in the survey answered they had anywhere from 300-499 Facebook friends, four percent who responded said they had from 500 to as many as 699 Facebook friends.
And 13 percent said they had 700 or more Facebook friends; while 15 percent answered that they were not on Facebook.
How often do you text your loved ones in the Philippines?
How do you correspond with others, especially family members far away? Keeping in touch and staying in touch with friends and family has changed a lot thanks to our digital and mobile devices. Texting has evolved into a major new way to stay in touch, especially with your loved ones back home in the Philippines.
News, sometimes important news, travels fast, and the need to know that news has probably never been greater.
That's why texting has taken on such great importance. To find out just how important, global money transfer powerhouse Xoom conducted an exclusive survey of its customers recently. Xoom asked this question: How often to you text your loved ones back home in the Philippines?
The numbers were revealing. Texting daily was the answer from 35 percent of those in the survey. A full 19 percent of the respondents said they text their loved ones in the Philippines a few times a week. Texting a few times a month was the answer from 10 percent who took part in the survey; four percent said they texted once a week and two percent said they texted once a month. And 29 percent had some other answer.

I'm an avid reader of Shop-Eat-Surf because it's really the only online newsletter that I have found that is not only industry related, but also because it's not so "guy-centric."

SIA SNOW SHOW: New "Industry + Intelligence" seminar on January 28.
FSG LAWYERS: Represented Brixton in recent transaction with Altamont Capital.
Details on Industry Insight.
While in New York for the Quiksilver Pro, I met with Jason Latos, a proud East Coast Surfer and wealth advisor in the finance industry who is starting a new surf apparel brand, Break East.
Jason Latos of NYC, founder of Break East
Jason, 39, said he started the brand because he can never find anything he wants to wear in a surf shop. He'll go in to look at boards, and walk straight out without buying anything else because everything seems to be targeting a 14-year-old kid or a 50-year-old beach bum, he said.
"Everything screams West Coast, Hawaii, Australia," he said.
The surfers he knows in the city are more sophisticated, understated and have a city fashion aesthetic. Once you get out of the water, you can't tell they are surfers, Jason said, and they blend right in to the New York professional world.
"A lot of the guys in the water are trading stocks everyday," he said.
Break East boardshorts
And they are just as passionate about surfing as surfers on the West Coast, he said. To go surfing, Jason spends $150 to rent a car and then spends one hour and 15 minutes to drive to Long Beach, Long Island or the Jersey Shore.
With the Break East name and by claiming the East Coast, Jason hopes the brand will help to raise the profile of East Coast surfing and improve the image of surfers in the U.S. The brand mantra also has a bit of the New York swagger and takes a swipe at West Coast surf companies.
Jason is investing his personal funds in Break East, and has assembled a team, most with other full time jobs, to help with the project.
While he does not have a background in apparel, a co-worker's father is a clothing manufacturer in Hong Kong, and he has hired a designer as well.
Break East rash guard
The line launched in June of this year online. Thus far, it consists of two rash guards, Ts, two wovens, a boardshort and a hoodie.
The long sleeve rash guard has a high back and a low neck and hand warmers. The buttons downs are a slimmer fit, and allow the wearer "to look good without trying that hard," Jason said.
The hoodie features a removable hood.
Price points range from $127 for the wovens, $115 for the hoodie, $35 for Ts, $63 for the boardshort and $43 for the long sleeve rash guard.
As far as distribution, Break East is targeting select surf boutiques, and plans to attend Surf Expo and possibly Agenda in the future. They have shown the line to a few retailers and the reaction has been strong, he said. One store, Skuby Blue in Jersey, a menswear store, is carrying the line and is asking for more product, Jason said.
Break East woven
On Thursday, Break East and Surfrider are unveiling a T-shirt designed by Break East to benefit the NYC chapter of Surfrider at an event at The Bowery Hotel in New York.
The Quiksilver Pro shined a great spotlight on East Coast surfing, and Jason hopes Break East will also help to raise the profile of the sport in the region in the future.
Then maybe it won't be so common to hear the refrain that Jason often hears when people find out he lives in New York City and surfs: "No way – you surf over there?"
