Worst

If I have the power to prevent it and not let it happen I would definitely. I hate KPOP music, I am sorry for those who are admirers of KPOP. I don't like them being on the charts and everything like that.

I am a pro-Caucasian and I admit that. Alam ko naman kasi na hindi naman talaga attach ang Pilipino sa mga neigbor countries niya parang hindi tayo Asian and the fact that KPOP rules doesn't make any difference. Gnaun pa rin tayo. So why bother listen to something you cannot comprehend anyway? Alam ko hindi ko rin naman naiintindihan yung mg aFrench at Italian music na pinakikinggan ko pero.... kung Korean yung papakinggan mo.....??? ano yan?

This is the same feelings I had nung dumating sa bansa yung Meteor Garden tapos unti unti nagpe-fade na yung Mexican soap operas. I hate that fact na natatabunan yung nakasanayang culture. Pero andyan na yan eh... Wala na daw tayo magagawa but to live with it. I am just pouring out my sentiments that Americans and Europeans are still better when it comes to music entertainment. I don't like Korean Pop music dahil para silang pinilit. But still they ar ethe in thing today. I have to admit that. I JUST DON'T LIKE IT. Liking it may be worst than nightmare.

Spokesmen






They were there all along. Nasa TV, kinu-quote sa dyaryo, nababasa sa internet sites. Sila yung nagsasalita in behalf of anyone.

I want to give credits to these people in this page. You see, being a master PR strategist, gustung gusto ko kapag nakakakuha ako ng tips at styles sa mga speakers of this generation. Kaso nga lang napakatypical ng dating ng mga spokes person sa Pilipinas although I commend the way they deal with any nimbus strata sa system of politics in this country.

Unang una na sa listahan si Manong Tany. Oo si Nathaniel Cruz ng PAG-ASA. Hindi ko nga malaman kung noong panahon ng sunod sunod na bagyo eh naliligo pa siya. Sann siya kaya natutulog? Di ba commendable yun? Ang galing ng forecast niya parang sinolid na niya yung pagasa sa mukha niya eh. Hindi mo nga malaman kung siya na ang director ng pagasa pero ok lang. Ang saya naman eh. Hero ang dating niya noong 2009.

Second siyempre ang controversial na mga decisions ng Supreme Court. At sino ang humaharap sa tao kapag kailangang magpaliwanag ng mga justices? Si Atty. Midas Marques. Ok ang paraan niya ng pagdepensa sa SC. Lalo na ngayon ang daming nakakaabot na kaso sa kanila. Actually trabaho ng ilang courts sa baba yun nakarating lang dahil sa mga apela. Ang trabaho lang naman talaga ng Supreme Court ay desisyunan yung magugulong constitutional premises. Ewan kung bakit angdami nang kaso dun. Kailangan lang naman nilang hatulan eh yung mga mandasmus, certiorari, quo warranto at yung proclamation ng suspension ng writ of habeas corpus. Ni isa dito wala silang inaasikaso puro mga galing sa apela.

Third ko sa Comm. Gregorio Larazabal. Don't get me wrong, alam ko si Aty. Jimenes ang spokesperson ng Comelec pero alam ko the whole Philippines will agree pag sinabi ko napaka substantive ng dating at pagpapagod ni Egoy sa Comelec. Sino b aang laging may interview. Man, i think he is very expounding sa mga issues na sinasagot niya. Kapag siya ng nagpapaliwanag sa TV alam ko may future yung election kasi naiintindihan ng tao. OK siya, sana nga kandidato siy apara maiboto siya.

Pang apat ko ang idol ko siyempre. Spokesperson rin siya. Si Richard Kristian Gutierrez, na kailan lang ay hinirang ng NCCA , National Commission for Culture and the Arts bilang kanilang tagapagsalita. Puwede, puwede. Ok lang na si Richard ang naroon kasi sa lahat ng young leading actors siya yung sanay dumepensa sa sarili. Aba ikaw ba naman ang may kaso kabi kabila. Una s apagda-drive niya ng wreckless, pangalawa sa panunutok daw niya ng baril na sinabi ng PEP. I think kaya niya ang panghaharas ng media anumang oras.

Last but not the least, ang suaveng suaveng depensa ni Gilbert Remulla sa billionaire na amo niya at bet for president ng NP. Ok si Remulla, media man kasi at magaling na pulitiko. Hindi siya nalalayo kila Chiz at Darlene Custodio. Sana lang hindi obvious ang pagtatakip niya. But being a spokesperson I think he is deserving to be a publicist.

Gridlock


Sometimes, it is not the expected schedule that becomes the main event of the day. There are moments when the journey is more memorable than the itinerary. Ganito yata ang nangyari sa akin ngayong araw na ito.

I woke up early in the morning para makahabol sa nakaparadang bus sa tapat ng Cathedral. I am going to Manila. Sa bagal kong kumilos dahil sa antok, na late na ako sa paliligo. Nakasakay ako ng jeep going to San Pablo by 5:34. Alam ko hindi ko na aabutan yung bus. Dumating ako sa San Pablo pass 6 na or 6:30 na yata. Pumunta muna ako sa loob ng Jollibee to attend my CR needs at magayos. Then alam ko may Mass pa sa loob kaya umattend din muna ako. That made me late even more siguro but just for the luck I need, ginawa ko.

Nakasakay ako ng bus sa Seven-Eleven na, sa Maharlika Highway. Kailangan ko lakarin yun kasi doon dumadaan ang bus. Nakatulog na ako sa bus and I woke up nasa Alabang pa lang. Nagulat ako pagkagising ko yung mga nasa unahan ko nagpapahiran ng suka. Grabe nasukahan sila ng isang bata. Inis na inis yung magulang nung isang bata na nasukahan, pati na rin yung magulang ng nung sumuka. Yung mama sa may unahan ko, talagang grabe parang may pupuntahang business deal pero nasukahan yung maganda niyang barong tagalog. Buti na lang suwerte yung sa lugar ko hindi ako nasukahan. Mag aalas Dies na nung dumating ako sa Cubao. Mabuti mabilis ko nakita yung Ermin Garcia Street. Nilakad ko na lang kasi kailangan ko makit ayung lot 73. Yung una kong nakita nakalagay 142 E. Garcia St. Naku po! Malayo pa pala, nasa kabila pa pala so umakyat pa ako ng overpass para makapunta sa kabila ng EDSA. Hinanap ko ang hirap pala hanapin kasi putol yung kalye at may kadugsong pa. Hanggang nakita ko rin yung Center for Pop. Yun pala ang main office. Wal naman doon si Ma'am Myrna Maglalang at ang gulo pa kausap nung guwardiya kung sino man yun. In short walang interview na naganap. Sayang yung effort ko nang pagaayos. Isinubmit ko nalang yung resume ko.

I decided to have a lunch kaninang tanghali sa SM Megamall. It is nice. Kumain ako sa KFC at naglibot ng kaunti kasi mainit pa sa labas eh. Sumakay rin ako agad ng bus pauwi para nga maabutan ko yung American Idol and guess what? Today is the day I will not want to remember all my lfe. Inabot na ako ng 5 oras sa bus hindi gumagalaw dahil sa traffic. Hindi man lang makapasok sa Batangas. Asar na asar talaga ako. Hindi naman ako magagalitin pero please naman yun na lang ang inaasahan kong makakapagpasaya sa araw ko hindi ko pa napanuod. Hindi na nga naging successful yung lakad ko sa Manila ganito pa! Gutom na gutom tuloy ako pagkauwi ko sa bahay mga before nine pm. May replay naman ang AI sa gabi by 8pm. Nakapanuod ako ng 1/4 ng replay at least.

That traffic jam is the mos terrible I have expereinced. Grabe! I wish no more traffic jam.

Amity

friendship; peaceful harmony.

mutual understanding and a peaceful relationship, esp. between nations; peace; accord.

Ito ang amity... pagkakaibigan. Sana ang amity ang sumira ng enmity...

ayaw na nila ng away. Lahat naman ng nagaaway ayaw ng away pero nagkakaroon ng conflict kasi lagi na lang nating iniisip na counterpart natin ang isa't isa.

Kung sa magkakaibigan nagkakaisahan pa eh di lalo na sa hindi magkakilala.

I like to re-echo the song of Stevie Wonders and Paul McCartney... Ebony and Ivory...

sana mas maunawaan pa ng lahat ang kahulugan nito.

Memento



As one preacher would say it "Life is about making moments" sometimes I gotta believe that but sometimes I don't. There are other things which life is for kasi.

While watching Lee Dewyze singing "The Boxer" a few weeks ago, the comment given by Kara was he seized the moment. That night was, according to her, his moment. They were all speaking about artists having their moment on stage. Yesterday Jovit had that moment. With the consistent positive comments given by the Big Three of Pilipinas Got Talent and the standing ovation given by the mob, I think he got his moment last night.

I am a person of moments. I use to embrace sweet moments and hope never to let go of that.
When I am in front of Lara Faye and she's smiling to all the world to know, I believe that is a moment. When I have the time to be before and ensemble and conduct, I am convinced that is a moment. When everything in the world is strangely beautiful, I am certain that that is a moment.
Life indeed may be about making moments. There was a movie entitled
Moments of Love which starred Dingdong Dantes and Iza Calsado. Is life really about making a moment alone or making moments of love. Love colors everything in a moment. Well guess what I am having this contention because... the Bible tells me so.

Todays Gospel is all about making the moments of love. Easter, more than being a season, is a moment of Christianity. It is the moment we are asked to shine and shine more. A season for us to celebrate. There was never a dull Easter for the Catholic Church. It is the season when everyone should know about us because we are yelling our hurrays for Jesus in the form of Hallelujah. What could be your moment with God this Easter?

You have to ask that question. Easter is not here only to be remembered but to be lived. We are people of the Easter Morning.

For me it when I am alone in my room every Saturday and contemplating for the readings the next day, which is Sunday. For me it is those afternoon I am before the Host, adoring God in the Eucharistic visit. For me it is the Easter Vigil. Easter Vigil is the moment of Love. Jesus giving us light rather than darkness, giving us redemption rather than condemnation which we in the first place deserve. The cross is senseless until we have an empty tomb. The Good Friday is meaningless without the joy of Easter Vigil. Without Easter, the Lenten moments are futile. We need to recover and redeem the intentionality and grandeur of Easter Vigil which was dumped and gradually erased by commercialization, by picnics, by Saturday night parties, by primer nights of movie houses. We need to make Easter as happy as the way we celebrate Christmas because Christmas season is immaterial unless Easter triumphs.

Number 40 is such a significant number in the Bible. A moment of destruction in Noah's time was given by God 4o days and 4o nights. The Israelites walked in wilderness for 40 years. Jesus was having a moment with Satan for forty days and forty nights. He rose again after three days and stayed here on earth for another 40 days before the ascension. You think for what? Why did he stayed 40 days? I guess to spend some moments with those He loves. He wanna have time with the apostles and with the believers, the early Christian community.

And in today's Gospel, he taught them how to have the moments as Christians. We can grasp our moments as Christians when we do love. It is love that gives us the moment of Christianity. Just as Easter is the moment of John's gospel. You see, from the very first Sunday of Easter we have the Gospel of John as the main readings. We have not taken any from the synoptics, all from John. Because John is the beloved of Jesus. When you love Jesus and Jesus loves you, Easter becomes your moment.

I hope that we too may become like John. The who have his moment during Easter season. Because for Catholic Christians, Easter is a moment of Love.

Risky

There was a problem last night walang kuryente!!!!

Hindi ko napanuod ang Eviction night *grrrrrr....*

Ngayon piyesta na ng Street nila Jophet at hermano siya. Yun ang dahilan bakit siya umuwi. The same thing din naman kila Tita Amor. Umuwi sila para kumuha ng letse plan at ube at ihahanda para sa piyesta.

Last year I was there with the whole family. Pero ang sad thing ako lang ang wala sa piyesta kila Jophet at buong barkada naroon. Ang ginawa nila tinawagan ako at nagkausap kami sa phone na lang.

Minsan pala darating yung point sa buhay mo kelangan mo maging present sa dalawang importanteng okasyon. Sabay sila. Kelangan ka. Pero iisa ka lang at hindi puwedeng hatiin ang sarili mo.

You have to take a risk. Pupunta ka ba o hindi. Ang pinaka masakit ay yung tanong na "Darating ka ba?" Madami nang nagtanong nito. Marami na ang relasyong nabali dahil sa tanong na ito. Marami kasi ang hindi sumipot. Marami ang nagtampo. Good enough hindi nagtampo ang barkada kasi family yun eh. You have to choose between two things that can make you happy. Sometimes it is risky pero dapat makita mo which is greater event and which is lesser happiness.

Hindi ko man nakita yung eviction night. The best thing is I have spent quite time for myself and with the One. Nagkaroon ng minus sa kuryente at mas maaga akong nakatulog with no interruption. Nice di ba? It has been a program of mine for a lifetime to look at everything asa a blessing. I really hope others will also.


Have a nice day...:-)
