The Spratlys Anomaly and Gloria Arroyo
Get this: $2 billion of loan per year, until 2010. This is China’s grant to Gloria Arroyo for letting them through the Spratlys door. I won’t be surprised if China begins to drill the Spratlys for oil and gas reserves the soonest time possible, precisely because they have Gloria’s approval. But what about the other nations competing for territorial rights to the Spratlys/Kalayaan Islands? Apparently, Vietnam also had to butt-in with the deal between China and the Philippines. As for the other nations, we can’t tell for certain other than they will not be pleased by Gloria’s decision. As for us, Filipinos, we have this:
We get to pay the loans from China while they explore our lands, or seas, while Arroyo has enough funds until her claim to the presidency ends in 2010, until the national elections are set to begin. Ricky Carandang calls it “treason”, and I share the same view. But more than just being treason, it’s prostitution of the land, of national sovereignty.

I was talking again with my friend cycloid-y just a while ago. He asked me if I sign up for Google Analytics. I have not signed yet in Google Analytics so my answer was a no.

My Jealous God
I grew up “knowing†God.
Growing up in a Catholic setting, I was practically spoon-fed with stories of God’s overflowing love for mankind, his merciful nature, his kindness, patience for sinners, tolerance for man’s sinful nature, his loving ways and his pure heart.
So, just imagine my shock and utter disbelief when, at age 31, I was being “indoctrinated†into believing that my God is a jealous God and a God full of wrath for man because of man’s sinful nature. God, a jealous God?
Werability. Is it a factor? (Something you ought to know to appreciate ‘high hells’)
Are you familliar of Vivienne Westwood? If you are, then you must be familiar of her infamous high-high heels!In 2006 Vivienne Westwood titled her show “I Am Expensive” to criticise the gap between the expensive world of fashion and the poor world of poverty, but the only gap seen on the runway were the high heels raging 4-5 inches some models found difficult to walk in.
Beginning modestly, the show presented knee-length and ankle-length gowns in neutral colours. But Westwood’s signature style and boldness soon came shining through in graffiti prints and bold shades of pink, blue and green.
The collection was somewhat trinklied with the American Barbie Beauty Queen image.
It wasn’t the talk of the town because model Kamilia Wawrzynia fell in the show while handling a watering can with water inside it.
She actually fell twice…. (MORE)
