On family abandonment in the Philippines
What is now a topic in several articles, of several public speakers in the past months has always been a known fact by the Filipino people. Family abandonment is not new to you and me. It should not be and if it is to you, then you must have been in a cave for the past years or are too young to be reading this post.
I was in Singapore on vacation in 2001 when my eyes were first opened to this alarming statistic…
10 safety tips you should know about
1 . Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!
2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans: If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you. Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.) DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

Election season…bull…t time….
I really just have to vent out my feelings about what have been and still is happening to our country at this time… Election season has a way of really making me feel so angry, frustrated, helpless and hopeless! This is the time wherein the two most exploited word – God and people are used by almost anyone who’s got certain selfish agenda to promote.
Religious sectors would use their influence by letting everyone believe that whomever they endorse is God’s choice ( though they’re into semantics now by saying choose wisely but really suggesting their chosen ones, thats why politicians seek their blessings. Religion and politics are symbiotic- one cannot exist w/out the other.) while politicians would tell everyone that they represent the voice of the people and that they are running for a position so as to be able to help people! BULLSHIT!!! Religious sectors need to engage in politics so as to protect their interest – continued existence of their business w/c is basically religion, hospitals, schools -power, influence and tax free properties while politicians want power, wealth, influence and recognition! These are just their main agendas but what irks me truly the most is the fact that those intellectual delinquents, unqualified celebrities and personalities are elected by the very PEOPLE who supposedly have the power to choose their leaders in a democratic society!
