Schick Intuition razor
I am thankful for the day my friend taught me how to shave. Although maintenance is a pain, the benefits are endless.
It was also a good thing, I was in the states when I was first learning how to do it right. They have all the nice tools you can use there to make a newbie lose all apprehension.
They have razors whose blades were covered with wires so that the blades do not come in contact directly with your skin. They have shaving cream, shaving foam, shaving gel. The skintimate brand came in cool colors of pink, lavender, blue and green. Now who wouldn’t be motivated with that?
The Twist of the Story
In the previous post, I wrote about my views on the suicide of Mariannet Amper. Though many people were convinced that it was poverty that pushed Mariannet to kill herself, some were ready to point out that it may not be the sole reason or that there could be a stronger reason for it still.
In a news article last November 13, it was reported that Mayor Duterte ordered for the body of Mariannet Amper, buried last Saturday, to be exhumed so that an autopsy may be done and the real cause of her death determined.
What if there’s a deeper reason why Mariannet chose to kill herself than live?
Beowulf
Beowulf was a story about a man who got rid of a kingdom of it’s monster. The monster’s mother avenged the monsters’ death by killing his men while asleep. However, instead of the hero killing the she-devil, the former was seduced into making love with her. In exchange for his seed and the golder horn, she promised him the kingdom and power to enjoy. As long as the horn was in the possession of the she-devil, Beowulf would rule.
Later on, his kingdom was suddenly attacked by a fire-breathing dragon. A man bought the horn to Beowulf. This was a sign that his glory was about to end. He fought the dragon and killed it by taking it’s heart out only after cutting a portion of his under arm to reach it while hanging from a chain wrapped around the dragon’s neck. Tragically, he also died after killing the dragon who was his son who could transform into such beast.
Moral of the story: Never make love with the devil or you would have consequences to pay (“curse”).

The Quitter’s Checklist
Quitting is almost always associated with losing or not trying hard enough. But quitting is not necessarily bad.
In fact, when you quit an addiction, you become a winner.
Wikipedia defines addiction as a recurring compulsion by an individual to engage in some specific activity, despite harmful consequences to the individual’s health, mental state or social life.
Common addictions include smoking, alcohol, drugs, shopping, gambling, etc.
In my case, it was to Coke Light. I quit August 2007 and I’ve been soda-free since then.
What follows is a checklist.
Beyond Eternal 4th Anniversary
Today, I am very happy to tell everyone that it’s been 4 years since Beyond Eternal has been born to the World Wide Web. It has also been countless times that I’ve tried to change domains yet, in the end, I still sticked with it. Since then ’til now, I’ve met so many people. Online friends, like every other people offline, they also come and go… [Read More]
Critical Thinking
There are many things we take for granted without considering the implications of their assumptions. I enjoyed our En12 class today where the students examined certain items as a review of their critical thinking module last semester. Guess what? I even ended up learning from them. Good job, R49! I’m posting images of the ad, website, and birth certificate presented along with students’ ideas to share with my readers.
This is a poster of Axe for a French-speaking market. It reads, “the man with the scent of love.” As usual, Axe portrays women as mindless freaks. An interesting point raised by a student is that the man might be gay because no straight man would run away from a crowd of women who want him (then again, that assumes that men just want pleasure from women and nothing more). Another said that the ad has an unfair representation of love. “Love is cannot just be bottled up.” Yes, love is reduced to a mere sense reaction.
Then someone brought up his lessons in biology. He said that among animals, scent is an important factor of mating compatibility. It has something to do with the immune systems– gee, I don’t know the gritty of science! Bottomline: this ad actually portrays human beings as animals.
I blog for a cause – A must read
This project exists because of one thing i.e. “trabaho para sa lahat”. So much about politics coz I’m tired of following them on what’s the latest about PGMA, the issue on the recent tragedy and who was really the target. I’ve reacted violently as to how JDV projected himself in-front of the camera and worst parang nagging showbiz tuloy ang eksina. I’m now back from being sane and politicking has always been waste of time for me.
I blog for a cause, this has been what my soul wants for this topic. Was suppose to publish this entry yesterday but I was preoccupied with things and priorities thus, I’m really sorry Cath. As what I’ve promised to my friend I’ll help her since this is really the reason of my existence. Fellow bloggers and netizens I’m attaching here an open letter from a friend. This is the kind of story that I want from us Filipinos especially to those who already loss their hopes on how survive in this unfair world. Just being optimistic makes things fair enough. We’ve had enough of what’s happening now other groups wanted to start from the head just to harmonize everything and yet until now they’re fighting for it. As for my case I’m starting from the iota, hone him couple with good upbringing then I’ll be confident that I already did my part as a human being.
Her story has really touched me and in one way or another fueled my passion for me to double time or even triple time just to provide things in which ordinary job seekers can not or will never get from anybody. This has been my desired direction for this project to be a provider on my own little way.
