FOR A STRONGER RELATIONSHIP
The guy who loves his mom will be a good boyfriend. Why? Because, if he has high respect for his mother he will have high respect for women.
Don't give everything away. Leave some things a mystery. Guys love conquest. If you already give your all, wala ng something to look forward to sa relationship nyo. And the guy will become kampante. Assure him of your love and faithfulness, but warn him too: "umayos ka diyan!ÂYou can lose me anytime...".
BIG PAGKAKAIBA: What a girl needs most is love. What a guy needs most is respect. The most important thing for a girl is her heart. For a guy its his ego.
Give your man his own time and space. Let him have his time for
his friends, sports, family, self, and God. The relationship will grow old
quickly if lagi kayong magkasama. Give him time to miss you and you'll see
how he will love you more. If the guy naman is obsessed and just wants to be with you all the time, tell him you can’t respect a "puppy" for long.
Do things differently anytime. Para kahit matagal na kayo, there is always something fresh and new. Variety is the spice of life. Exciting baga?
Discover something you both like to do and enjoy it TWOgether. Doon naman sa mga bagay na magkaiba ang hilig nyo, compliment each other by learning about it kahit konti. If you love someone, yung effort nyo to try will go a looooong way to understanding him later pag may disagreement kayo.
Pray with holding hands. Sounds corny noh? Maybe, but its very powerful. Pag may takot sa Diyos ang boyfriend,mo, kampante ka na di ka nya lolokohin, because he knows God sees everything he does in secret. Ikaw na ang magkusa that before you part after date, with hold hands and eyes closed, pray to God to bless you two. Believe me it's effective.
Kailanman, di corny ang magdasal.
Believe in "Magic". Kahit di minsan practical o walang logical na dahilan, o matrabaho, o sounds crazy sa iba, do sweet little things for the one you love kahit magmukha ka ng timang. The memories will be fun to recall later in life. The corniest song o gift o letter ang laging kabog!
True love brings out the best in each other. Find something good in your boyfriend and nurture it, encourage it and syempre, ENJOY it.
It's healthy to fight. Doon nyo lang maaayos ang mga differences nyo at natetest ang tatag ng relationship. Doon mo rin sya makikilala ng mabuti. Its called test of fire. Di mahalaga how dalas you fight. What matters is how often you make bati. Mas nakakatakot yung relasyong sobrang perfect at laging masaya. One big fight and that's it! And diba mas kilig yung malambing na... "uy, bati na tayo...". ÂBut don't overdo it.
Kakapagod naman din na lagi na lang manuyo o magsori. Choose the battles na papatulan mo. The little issues, palampasin na. Don't sweat the small stuff.ÂDaraan sa iba't-ibang stages ang love especially pag matagal na kayo. Grow with it. Don't expect him to be like nung una. 'Coz like a student, di na ituturo sa grade 6 yung lessons na pang-grade 2. Change WILL happen... you both will change and your love WILL change too. It's up to you na lang if the change will be for the better or for the worse. Life is about growth. Grow with it.
When break up comes and it's time to say goodbye, don't doubt the love just because it didn't last. May mga bagay sa buhay na di man nagtatagal, it doesn't mean di na ito totoo. Some good things are just never meant to last forever.ÂOkay lang yon. Bless the parting and move on.
Expect tears, sorrow, sleepless nights and pain. Ika nga "it's when you hurt the worse that you love the MOST." Kung di ka willing masaktan, wag ka na lang magmahal.
Life is a balance. And love is both holding on and letting go. Know when to fight for your man and when to let him go. God will guide you kung anong dapat gawin sa kung anong sitwasyon. So dapat mataas ang signal ng langit sa cellfone ng puso mo to know His wisdom.
DATE IDEAS:ÂA walk in the park, along the bay area watching the sunset, biking sa big, open spaces, stargaze at night sa ibabaw ng bubong, jog @ 5 am and wait for the sunrise, singing with a guitar (or a walkman) under a tree's shade sharing hopia and siomai (yikes!). Wag lagi sa mall.
Involve nature. The best things in life pa rin ay free. Di kailangan gumasta ng malaki para sumaya o maging romantic. Be creative.
Honesty is the best policy... ika nga ni Jimmy Santos. Pero laging nasa timing at paraan ng pagsasabi ang technique. Pag malumanay mong sasabihin sakin na ipagpapalit mo na ako sa iba o papatayin mo na ko sa sobrang gigil, Gosh! Mata - touch pa ko! May lambing eh!
Don't NAG. Sabi ng don't nag eh! Sabi ko don't nag, don't nag, don't naaaaaaggg!!!
Yung effort, sa kahit anong gawain o effort mo ay laging 2 billion ganda/pogi points yan.
Do little surprises every now and then.
PARA SO HAPPY TWO-GETHER!!!

People come into your life for a reason
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in you’re life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die, sometimes they walk away, and sometimes they setup and force you to take a stand. What you must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people came into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season!
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build up on in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being apart of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
GOD is to wise to be mistaken…GOD is too good to be unkind…so when you don’t understand …when you don’t see His plan…when you can’t trace His hand…
HAVE FAITH AND TRUST HIS HEART
>>>Thank GOD always<<<
Parang Kayo, Pero Hindi.
They met and became lovers in college. They broke up last year but
remained to be "friends."
They send sweet text messages and he calls her often to make sure
she's okay. They still date. They still have sex.
They don't see anyone else. It is obvious that they still love each
other but when asked about their situation, she doesn't
know the real score. Even
her friends are in the dark. "Parang sila, pero hindi."
She works in a telecom. He is reviewing for the board. They are in
the same barkada. They talk on the phone till 4 am. He gives
her chocolates, flowers and CDs even when there is no occasion. Their
friends are suspecting something. Bakit sila nagsosolo kapag may
overnight inuman? Why does he hold her close on the dance floor? Bakit sila
magkaholding hands lagi?
Sila kaya?
"He hasn't admitted anything," she rants. "But I let him hug and kiss me.
Parang kami, pero hindi."
They work together in an ad agency. After office, they would watch
movie, have dinner and stroll at Glorietta. She gave him Harry Potter books
for his birthday in exchange for posing as her boyfriend to make an ex
jealous. They made out during the company outing in Subic and
never talked about it. He said "I love you" once but she wasn't sure if she
heard him correctly because they were both drunk then. But one thing
she is sure of is her feelings for him. She likes him. And she's
assuming that with what he's doing to her and with her, he likes her, too. There's just one hitch: he has a girlfriend!
She is a 28-year-old virgin. He's a 35-year-old bachelor. Both mountaineers,
they became close during their climbs. After a few dates in posh
restaurants, he brings her to his condo where they would make out.
They have been doing this for months. She wants to believe
that "sila na" but then she's not really sure about it. "We don't talk about
it but it doesn't really matter," she'd tell her friends. "What's
important is I am enjoying this -- whatever it is."
The "parang kayo, pero hindi" stage. Others call it MU or mutual
understanding. Pseudo-relationships. Pseudo- boyfriends.
Flings. Almost like a relationship, but not quite. It is a phase
where the persons involved are more than friends, but not
quite lovers.
Puwedeng may verbal agreement, puwedeng wala. One or both of
you may have admitted your feelings, possible ding hindi. You just let your
gestures do the talking for you. Walang pormal na ligawan na nangyari. Hindi
kayo mag-dyowa.
Pero sa kilos niyo, sa mga sinasabi niyo, parang kayo, pero hindi.
This kind of "relationship" can happen at different stages for
different reasons. It can happen after a break-up. You still
love each other, and you want to be with each other but you broke up for a
reason. A nd for reasons that you alone know, ayaw niyo na muna
magkabalikan.
It can also happen before a relationship, iyong pareho kayong
nakikiramdam. Possible din na ayaw niyo munang mag-seryoso
kaya kunwa-kunwarian lang muna.
Testing lang.
Puwede ring hindi puwedeng maging kayo kasi isa sa inyo --usually
the guy --may ka-relasyon na. Kaya habang hindi pa siya
nakikipag-break doon sa girl (sabi niya makikipag-break siya soon pero di
naman niya ginagawa), wala muna kayong relasyon para nga naman hindi siya
nangagaliwa kasi "hindi naman kayo."
This pseudo-relationship stage, for a time, can be fun. Lalo na kung
naghahanap ka lang naman ng "kalaro."
Pero huwag ka lang mag-e-expect na may patutunguhan kayo kasi wala
talagang kasiguraduhan.
So bakit ang daming nagse-settle sa ganitong set up ganoong hindi
naman sigurado kung may patutunguhan?
Iba't ibang dahilan. Puwedeng for fun lang.
Puwedeng "buti na iyan kesa w ala" or puwede na iyang "pantawid-gutom."
Meaning, habang wala pa iyong the real thing, doon muna sa
kunwa-kunwarian.
For those who are not in a serious relationship, they would think
that pseudo-relationship is better than no relationship
at all. It would be fun, if all you are after for is that "kilig" feeling.
Aminado naman ako na once upon a time, may mga pseudo-relationships
din ako. No commitments involved. For the simplest reason
that they couldn't commit, because they were either committed to someone
else, or that they weren't ready to commit.
My rationalization, "okay na iyun, kesa wala."
Ang habol ko lang naman, iyong kilig feeling. Iyong merong nagtatanong kung
kumusta araw ko. Iyong merong ka-cuddle sa beach outing. Iyong kapag
tumunog ang cellphone, mapapangiti na ako dahil alam
kong galing sa kanya ang message. Iyong merong laging kasama. Habang
wala pa ang the real thing, puwede na itong pagtiyagaan.
But then I learned that although it was only a pseudo-relationship, the
emotions were real. And usually, in this kind of set up, ang babae
lagi ang lugi.
Una, you can't ask him to commit. Since it's not really a relationship, you
can't demand commitment from your partner. Ano ba kayo? May K ka nga
ba magpasundo ng hatinggabi? You will always be uncertain about your
role in his life. You can't expect him to be always there with you. And if
you feel jealous of the other girls, you just have to keep it to yourself.
Ano ka ba niya para magselos?
Pangalawa, what if you fall deeply in love with him?
You can't be sure if he feels the same way. Baka nag-a-assume ka lang
na mahal ka rin niya.
Even if you are dying to tell him you love him, you can't.
Because you're not sure if he'll like it. Baka mapahiya ka lang.
This stage will always make you wonder where you are in the relationship.
Or if there is a relationship at all.
Pangatlo, what if you become attached too much?
What if you have invested all your emotions and this man hasn't?
What if you remain faithful to him, not entertaining other guys,
only to find out that he is seeing other girls?
Isa pang downside ng pseudo-relationships, it is fleeting. When a
disagreement sets in, or when one of you gets cold, then that would
be the end of it. Unlike in a serious relationship, hindi mo
alam kung saan ka lulugar sa isang pseudo-relationship. Wala kang
pinanghahawakan.
Kasi sa pseudo-relationship, there is no "us." Meron lang "you and me,"
hindi "us."
Buti sana kung pseudo-pain din lang ang mararanasan mo. Kaso, hindi
eh. Real pain. And usually, kahit tapos na ang pseudo- relationship, hindi mo
maiwasan umasang one day, may karugtong pa rin iyun. And
you will be miserable, hoping to bring back what you used to have, only
to find out eventually that the guy is in another pseudo-relationship with
somebody else.
Ang h irap, ano? You agreed to this kind of set up for fun and then
you'd end up hurting yourself in the process.
Pero puwede naman maiwasan ang pain eh.
Puwede naman na hindi mo muna isipin ang future and just enjoy the feeling, without thinking of the consequences.
But if you are certain that you are going to hurt yourself in the
process, kailangan mo mamili. You can be happy and live
the moment without worrying what would happen next. Or you can stop settling with pseudo-relationships and wait for the real thing.
When I was younger and in a pseudo-relationship with an unavailable
guy, a friend told me, "Sige, kung ayaw mong magpapigil, bahala ka.
Magpakasaya ka.
Pero huwag kang iiyak-iyak pagkatapos, dahil tatadyakan kita."
Ang bottom line lang naman, kung magpapasaya sa iyo, gawin mo.
Ihanda mo lang ang sarili mo sa consequence. Dahil ang "parang kayo pero
hindi" stage ay bihirang nagiging totoo. Usually, hanggang
doon lang siya ...
almost, but not quite.
This is without a doubt one of the nicest good luck forwards I have
received.
Hope it works for you - and me

The BENEFITS of SEX
Be sure to read the final comment.
..did you know that we can determine if a person is sexually active or not by looking at her skin ?
1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests have shown that a woman who has sexual relations produces big amounts of estrogen which makes hair shiny and soft.
2. To make love in soft and relaxed way reduces the possibilities of suffering from dermatitis and acne. The sweat produced cleans pores and makes the skin shine.
3. To make love allows to burn all the calories accumulate is this romantic love scene.
4. Sex is one of the safest sports. It strengthens and tonifies all body muscles. It is more enjoyabel than doing 20 lapses in the pool. And you don't need special shoes !
5. Sex is an instantaneous cure against depression. It frees endorphines in the blood flow, creating a state of euphoria and leaves us with a feeling of well-being.
6. The more we make love, the more we have the capacity to do more. A body sexually active releases a higher amount of pheromone. This subtle aroma excites the opposite sex !
7. Sex is the safest tranquiliser in the world. IT IS 10 TIMES MORE EFFICIENT THAN VALIUM.
8. To kiss everyday allows to avoid the dentist. Kisses aid saliva in cleaning teeths and lower the quantity of acids causing enamel weakening.
9. Sex relieves headaches. Each time we make love, it releases the tension in brain veins.
10. To make love a lot can heal a nasal congestion.... Sex is a natural antihistaminic. It helps fight asthma and spring allergies.

A Prayer To Saint Pancratius (St. Prancas)
A novena
History:
We know very little about this early Christian martyr. As a Christian who honored and prayed to God fearlessly, he was beheaded by either Valerian or Diocletian, Roman Emperors and persecutors of the Church in the third century. He was only 14 years old.
St. Pancratius was buried in a cemetery, which was later named after him. He is especially venerated in England because of the Benedictine monk Augustine of Canterbury, who dedicated his first church in England after Pancras. The relics of St. Pancras were presented as a gift the king of Northumberland.
(Feast – May 12)
All that Faith teaches,
And in that Faith
I wish to live and die.
Through the intercession
of St. Pancratius
grant us good health
To fulfill our duties.
Grant me the virtue of Hope
In your promises
In the same measure
That St. Pancratius always trusted
In your Providence,
So that I may,
Through his intercession,
Obtain work and success
In all my undertakings.
That I may love God
Above all things
And my neighbor
For the love of God,
As St. Pancratious did.
Through his intercession
I hope to obtain this grace
And that of being free
From adversities
And from ill-intentioned persons.
I beg you to obtain for me
All the graces that I need,
But especially health and work,
So that I may appear before you
To thank God
For the favors I received
Through your powerful intercession.
Amen.

Documentary on Ces Drilon's kidnapping on Sunday, July 13
You've seen the news coverage, but do you know the story?
"Kidnap" is a documentary about what happened in the nine days that ABS-CBN Senior Correspondent Ces Drilon, Cameraman Jimmy Encarnacion, and Assistant Cameraman Angelo Valderama were held captive by armed men in Sulu.
The documentary, airing on Sunday, July 13th at 10pm, is a story told from their differing perspectives.
The three narratives are pieced together into one storyline and supported by the extraordinary footage shot by Encarnacion in captivity- at great risk to his life.
"Kidnap" lets Valderama narrate what went through his mind while his kidnappers demonstrated to him just how he would be beheaded, lets Encarnacion relate how "Ma'am Ces" offered her life in exchange for his, and lets Drilon describe just how it feels to realize that no story is worth a life.
This is a documentary about recklessness and violence, about spirits that will not be broken by the barrel of a gun, about brotherhood, about family, about choices, about fear, and about just what it means to have courage.
i had watch the kidnap documentary and saw the actual footage that the camera man. its really a unforgotten experience that who ever will encounter this kind of situation.
CONCLUSION - The Potential Effects of Global Warming
A prudent evaluation of the risks of global warming must also consider the possibility that climate change will be much more severe and/or much more rapid than the most likely scenario projected by climate
models. The IPCC noted that there are a number of potential feedback mechanisms not currently included in climate models that could increase greenhouse gas concentrations in response to the initial warming, amplifying climate change (IPCC 1990: xviii). These mechanisms include the potential for reduced carbon uptake by the oceans, increased CO2 emissions from the dieback of forests and the decay of soils, and increased methane emissions from wetlands and hydrates. Because these feedbacks interact with each other and other climate processes in a non-linear way, there is a risk that the overall climate sensitivity could be as much as twice as great as the upper bound of the uncertainty range adopted by the IPCC.
(Lashof: 213 (1989).
The transitional period as result of global warming will be a challenge for the nations of the world. If these changes are swift (not allowing humans to adjust) then food production will decrease (causing food shortages) and coastal flooding will increase (causing thousands of deaths of coastal and island people), especially in the developing economies.
The Kyoto agreement is good start for global cooperation among countries in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Unfortunately, even if it succeeds 100% in meeting its goals, greenhouse gases will continue
to rise. In a clear statement on its front page in early November, the New York Times declared that "a growing number of scientists and policy makers" believe it will be impossible to avoid a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide. "...[M]any experts believe that it is already too late to avoid serious climatic disruption, that the task ahead is one of keeping it from becoming truly catastrophic," the Times said. "The reason, [these experts] say, is that the world's economic and political systems cannot depart from business as usual rapidly enough." (Stevens: A1, A12.)
Is this what the American people want? On December 11 the New York Times reported taking a poll which revealed that 65% of Americans feel the United States should cut its greenhouse emissions "regardless of what other countries do" and only 17% feel that cutting emissions "will cost too much money and hurt the United States economy." (Bennet: A1, A10). Another poll, conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, nearly three out every four of 1,200 Americans survey say they would pay a nickel a gallon more for gasoline to address global warming.
There is need for more conferences like Kyoto to bring together different ideas and solutions from countries around the world to find ways of reducing greenhouse gases from the business-as-usually scenario. It is imperative that next step we take include action from both developed and developing counties in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Developing countries must leapfrog from high CO2 emission fuel source (e.g. coal) to a lower CO2 emission fuel source (e.g. natural gas) in order to reduce greenhouse gases. These developing and developed countries must try to use the newest technologies presently available. Developed countries could trade emission releases in exchanged for helping to setup these technologies in
developing countries.
EMISSION OF GREENHOUSE GASES
Greenhouse gases make up only a tiny fraction of the atmosphere, but they can have a big impact, and their proportion is rising rapidly as economic development speeds up around the world. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in middle of the 18th century, levels of carbon dioxide have jumped 30 percent, nitrous oxide 15 percent, and methane 100 percent. At present develop countries emissions account for approximately 60 percent of global total. But, developing countries emissions are growing rapidly, and by 2020, will account for more than half of the world’s emissions. China, which is already the world’s second-largest emitter, will surpass the United States within 15 years. The following subsections describe some the emission sources and the amount of emissions of the greenhouse gases (Rauber 36).

happy but wrong? or sad but right?
*******
...do you know why I'm still thankful? it's because i may never have everything...
but at least, i never had nothing..
*******
a smile is a language everybody understands. it costs nothing but it creates much;
it happens fast but its memory lasts.. so keep smiling & stay happy...
*******
in tough times, stay motivated by looking at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go..count your blessings, not what you are missing..
*******
we chase wild dreams & long for all that eludes us, when the greatest joys are within our grasp,
if we can only recognize them..
*******
parable of the pig & the cow.. the pig was unpopular while the cow was beloved.
this puzzled the pig...
Pig: people speak warmly of your gentle nature & your sorrowful eyes. they think you're generous because each day you give them milk & cream, but what about me?
i give them everything i have. i give bacon, ham etc.i give my all..
The cow replied:
Cow: its not really what you give when you're dead,
its about what you give while you're still alive..
*******
most of us always desire a perfect situation, a perfect life. Yet, God do not grant a perfect life. What he give instead is a perfect heart in d midst of an imperfect life.
Teaching us to be cheerful, hopeful, smiling amidst imperfections and
to enjoy His wondrous blessings every moment in time.
******
friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest, who came first or who cares the most...it's about who came and never left...
*******
if your friend is too frank dat what he/she says hurt u, dont get mad..
coz Donkey once told Shrek:
"only true friends can be cruelly honest."
*******
if you find yourself in a difficult spot, realize that God means for you to be where you are..
He who has carried you this far is not going to drop you now..
*******
i approached a kid & asked: wat is luv? d kid answered: hmmm..
LOVE is wen a puppy licks ur face..i laughed, but den he added..
Even after u left him alone all day.
*******
according to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. it's wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. the bee, of course, flies anyway!
because bees don't care what humans think is impossible..
Bee Movie, see the lesson here?
*******
take some time to smile when you're sad, to rest when you're tired, to love when you're feeling empty & to let go if you need to..Time endures, time heals! In this life, just take some time for "yourself" then you'll see, everything will fall into the right place the way you wanted life to be...

Sunday June 1 10:18 PM ET
The "Transformers" have another chunk of metal to add to their collection.
The blockbuster about robots in disguise took home the golden popcorn trophy for best film at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night, and Johnny Depp won two buckets for best comedic performance and best villain.
Accepting the best film award with director Michael Bay, "Transformers" co-star Megan Fox trotted out some R-rated language to describe how good the film's sequel is going to be. Bay said the film would begin shooting the following day and take place two years after the first film.And Rainn Wilson who presented best kiss wearing nothing but a teddy bear told The Associated Press on the gold carpet that he would play a college professor in "Transformers 2."
"I just love the idea of me being in giant Michael Bay movie," Wilson said.
A couple of hundred yards downhill, the final remnants of a disastrous fire that ripped through Universal Studios was extinguished as the ceremony got under way.
While there was no mention of the fire, there was definitely smoke during the over-the-top ceremony: Presenters Seth Rogen and James Franco, stars of the upcoming stoner comedy "Pineapple Express," pretended to smoke marijuana before handing out the popcorn trophy for new category of best summer movie so far.
"Kids, don't really smoke fake weed like this," Rogen sarcastically told the crowd at the Gibson Amphitheatre.
As they pulled out the "contraband," the cameras pulled away to a wide angle, staying that way until Rogen and Franco left the stage. The awkward moment made some in the audience laugh, but left Robert Downey Jr. who accepted the award on behalf of "Iron Man" with a puzzled look.
"Thanks fellas," he said, "for that intoxicating introduction."
Franco later told the AP backstage that MTV put them up to the joke, but that someone from the network decided at the last minute that they couldn't go through with it. By then, it was too late to pull back.
"MTV wrote it! ... Then backstage there was this big commotion: 'You guys can't say that,'" Franco said. "It says right in the script: 'Lights fake joint.'"
The nearby studio fire broke out 4:30 a.m. on a soundstage featuring a New York brownstone facades at the 400-acre property. It was contained to the lot but burned for more than 12 hours before the final flames were extinguished.
"I actually came here early because I wanted to see it," Chris Brown said before the show. What did he see? "A whole lot of chaos."
Winners were threatened to keep their speeches short by a man resembling Javier Bardem's character from "No Country for Old Men" complete with the bob hairdo and pneumatic cattle gun. Best female performance winner Ellen Page from "Juno" escaped unscathed, but best fight winners Sean Faris and Cam Gigandet were ushered off stage by the menacing lookalike.
Host Mike Myers and Dana Carvey resurrected their "Saturday Night Live" characters Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar, the cable access hosts of "Wayne's World." They acknowledged it's been awhile since they've been together ("1994. That's a while," said Wayne) and presented a risque top ten list of adult film titles (No. 8: "I Am Legend ... In Bed"; and No. 1 "Iron Man").
The mood backstage was calm as stars schmoozed during the show. Cruise posed for photos with his arm around Ben Stiller while wife Katie Holmes stood a few steps away. She wasn't by herself for long: Sarah Jessica Parker chatted Holmes up, and Sandler and Smith both had their children with them behind the scenes.
Depp showed up to accept his trophies for best comedic performance for "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" and best villain for "Sweeney Todd." While the crowd was visibly excited including a nearly swooning Diablo Cody "Superbad" actors Jonah Hill and Rogen shot shook their fists at Depp and give him the thumbs down.
Depp kept his first acceptance speech short.
"You can ask anybody," he said quietly. "I'm not a very funny person. I'm not even remotely funny."
Tom Cruise presented Adam Sandler with the Generation Award, the MTV Movie Awards' highest honor, for his various comedic and "stupid" performances over the years. Sandler sang a live version of "Nobody Does It Better" alongside a bevy of backup dancers clad in skintight gold outfits. Among them: Rob Schneider.
Sandler, who took a guitar solo on his gold Les Paul, changed the lyrics to "baby, I'm the best."
"That was probably the most arrogant thing I've ever done," Sandler said, moments after Cruise got on his knees to hand over the golden popcorn.
Coldplay performed "Viva la Vida" amid a flurry of confetti, which at one point found its way in lead singer Chris Martin's mouth. Later, the Pussycat Dolls danced in front of a giant lit-up sign broadcasting the group's name alongside "America's Best Dance Crew" winners JabbaWockeeZ to "When I Grow Up."
Other winners during the ceremony included Will Smith for best male performance for "I Am Legend"; Zac Efron for best breakthrough performance for "Hairspray"; and Briana Evigan and Robert Hoffman for best kiss in "Step Up 2: The Streets."

Defending our Oceans
Ocean life comes in an incredible array of shapes and sizes - from microscopic plankton to the largest of the great whales.
Yet many species have been, or are being, driven towards extinction through devastating human impacts.
The Defending our Oceans campaign exposes these threats, confronts the villains and promotes solutions such as a global network of ocean parks called marine reserves.
The key threats facing our oceans include:
Industrial fishing
BycatchUnfair fisheries
Unsustainable aquacultureGlobal warmingPollution
