The Right To Defend Oneself
One cannot be told of the immense power of guns and its influence in our living. But get a gun, hold it with both hands and shoot a target (an inanimate one, hopefully) and you’ll feel it: the power of a malicious mind and its thought unleashed by a cold, metallic, unfeeling machine to harm the object of its malice. It is a terrible power and not a few want it and believe that they deserve to own such power.
Many believe that guns are making hell out of the world we’re living in. Many also believe that government ought to put more stringent policies regarding gun ownership and storage. Some even believed that the whole citizenry should be stripped of all gun ownership rights. However, I think these people are looking at this issue on a narrow perspective. Did they really honestly think that by putting restrictions on citizens’ rights to acquire weapons for their own defense they could prevent a horrible incident as Virginia Tech University Shooting from happening? If perhaps that student who killed as much as 33 people in the campus wasn’t able to acquire a gun, evil will not fall on those people he wished to harm? He would have found other ways, perhaps a bomb, to pursue his evil intent.
If only perhaps all the weaponry in the world could be eradicated (anything that could be used as a weapon to harm people, so that could includes your butter knives, pencil points, ballpens, scissors, and other sharp-ended, seemingly mundane things), then maybe, just maybe, Va. Tech Shooting will not happen again. But guns were only instruments; it is the malicious thought of harming people that kills people.
Manny Pacquiao vs. Cho Seung-Hui
Do not get me wrong. I am proud of Manny Pacquiao and his many accomplishments. Although boxing as a sport does not interest me, I am glad that Manny has brought recognition to our country.
The Pacquiao vs. Solis match was held April 15, 2007 and was shown on television at 10am. About 80% of the Philippine population were glued to tv sets (not necessarily theirs) around the nation. It seemed as if the nation was put on hold. Everyone and everything was quiet. A momentary ceasefire. Who could have imagined that peace can be brought on simply by holding a boxing match with Pacquiao as contender?
The problem is competency, not political dynasty
This message on the Ang Bagong Pinoy yahoo group led me to this website.
The author is calling for a tsunami of outrage through click and text. While I believe that his intentions are pure, I just can’t imagine how his means will bring him to his objective of dismantling political dynasties . Again, this is a classic example of the elite mindset. Click and text may only be a start of something since he claims that this campaign is for the long haul. But still, the approach is elitist.
Need To Enjoy Sex
My admirer in the Yahoo! Answers emailed me about sex and how to enjoy it.
I am not really a well experienced one on sex but I need to answer the questions for her or else she’ll turn her back at me and forget that there’s a time that she admired me.

Random Hot Men: Raphael Sander
Starting today, Random Hot Men will be written in English, just like the old days.
Since every hot guy in the Philippines has been covered by every gay blog I know, I decided to venture out of my horizon and focus my attention on the most delicious men outside of The Islands.
And what better way to start my man hunting but to venture to the land of Ipanema, Carnival, and man-god Lucas Gil.
Yes, my friends, it’s Brazil, probably one of the…no, make that THE place of the most scorching males ever created.
I searched from the Amazon Basin to the summit of Pico de Neblina, and after hours of painstaking googling and self-deliberation, I have finally found him.
