My Personal Apologies to Magdalo and the 2010 elections
Anyways, I just couldn’t find a word to sum up the past May 14 senatorial elections, maybe a phrase then would aptly describe it. I was thinking of describing it as something short of a miracle (Fr. Ed Panlilio and the Josons losing the gubernatorial seat comes into mind) but then again when I think of Maguindanao and all the 130 election related murder cases I can’t help but think that the Philippine Elections is the devil’s easter (maybe that’s a bit too strong but it’s pretty close, like a level lower). That and the counting of ballots moving like bullet time but who could blame the teachers? Who wouldn’t count slowly when you got a gun pointed at your head while the rooms are being burned down by some spineless dick heads? Better yet who would wanna count when you’re being burned alive (God bless their souls and may they be welcomed into the pearly gates of heaven)? It seems like the only thing that the COMELEC would unwillingly burn these days is the 1.3B pesos fund for the automation of the 2004 Presidential elections. Oh wait, they did burn that money for the computers that would’ve counted the votes. Apparently those computers never saw the light of day on that May 2004 elections but the 500 million of the 1.3 billion pesos is safe somewhere in a private bank account (or accounts, who knows how deep this is?).
Joost do it!
I don’t know how many people are still strangers too Joost but just to get enlightened you could check out the wikipedia entry for it right here. If you’re too lazy then I feel sorry for you man. No free invites for you.
Whoah! Did I just mention FREE invites to try the beta version of JOOST?
Yep I did! But I’m not so sure about it. See the latest version says that I get an unlimited number of invites but then I’m not sure and I’m too lazy to open up Joost (they should have it voice activated or better yet have a mind control switch) and check it out. Anyways, If I do have an unlimited number of invites then I would probably give out these invites to those who wants one. But wait!!! There’s more!
Let’s All Go To Iraq And Plant Kamote!
There I said it. I can’t seem to find a job that suits me well. I graduated in 2005 and God knows how long (and hard) two years of being a bum is. If someone out there knows a part-time job or two then dude (or dudette) please help me out.
Anyways, good thing there is Jobstreet and JobsDB (PI version of Monster and Career builder). They seriously save my soles from being abused by the mangled road asphalt (no thanks to MMDA and DPWH!) of Manila. You could try your luck by browsing through their site for job vacancies in various companies around the country (most are based in Manila though). If you’re not lucky enough just like me, well you can always take the road and try to look for jobs the old fashion way but If you’re the type who doesn’t easily give up and you were born adventurous and is willing to face danger then check out this ad that I stumbled upon.
On Filipino Gay Rights and Extra Men Rights
Unleash your inner gay.
Not that I’m asking you to be a gay but if you are one or planning to be one, now would be a good one to wave a rainbow flag in front of your door. Why? Because the third kind is under fire from Congressman Benny (a guy’s gay name for Ben) Abante.
Apparently the re-elected homophobic solon from Manila swore that he would “always block” the proposed gay rights bill saying that this was a preparation for legalizing gay marriage. He even goes on to say that the bill was like giving additional rights to prostitutes (as if the one bang, one round wasn’t enough!). Amen to that brother (he’s also a pastor of a christian movement here in the country)!
Unsent’s Post Election Fever!
Holla faithful blog readers and dear friends! Do pardon my introduction, I was talking to one of the numerous aspirants applying for a blog assistant post. Nah, you all know I’m just playing. I’m not that rich to hire a blog assistant, although I must admit it would be great to just dictate every blog post while your very own personal underpaid and medical insurance-less slave do all the finger work. Ahhhh. I’ll list that as one of my dreams on my official book “A GaZillion things to do before all the Politicians die” book — to be filthy rich one day to hire three blogging assistants. Hmmmm *thinking*. Wait a sec. Actually the word filthy gets thrown out everyday by almost everyone that I should actually start to think for a better and more apt term. Hmmmmm. *thinking again*
101 Things Not To Say During Sex
Anyways, I was surfing random sites when this popped out. It says “101 Things Not To Say During Sex” and boy do I agree. I’m gonna be honest that I once heard myself saying number 50. That was long ago and was a really, really bad move. Hope this would serve as a warning to those who can’t shut up their mouth while doing the deed. Enjoy!
101 Things Not To Say During Sex
1. But everybody looks funny naked!
2. You woke me up for that?
3. Did I mention the video camera?
4. Do you smell something burning?
5. (in a janitor’s closet) And they say romance is dead…
Free Advice to the Losing Senatoriables’ Political Ads
I don’t care how much that TV is worth as long as it could flush out all the crap out of my daily viewing pleasure then that is seriously worth all the slave corporate wage money can buy (It’ll probably take me a year to buy that). But what the heckkkkk! I’m turning bolemic on these political TV ads that I wanna puke everytime I hear Yorgay’s “Tara Lets” inspired theme song or Six Cycle Mind’s “Pro Pinoy” (a.k.a. The Peachy Song)…
C’mon Mr. Hotel-Hostage-Taker! Jamby Madrigal?! We all know Juday won the 2004 elections! Jamby didn’t win in the 2001 elections that’s why she had to buy Juday.
My advice:
Ask Jamby to lend you Juday.
Filipinos’ View of Adopted Kids/People
I was channel surfing earlier today when I stumbled upon the ever familiar “The BUZZ” (with Ruffa Guttierez-Bektas, Kristy Fermin and Boy Abunda) on ABS-CBN channel. My sister, upon seeing the gossip talk show, asked me to drop the remote and stop pushing the buttons for a while. I obliged since I wasn’t interested to any particular shows that were being aired. While watching the show’s cast dishing out the headlines, I was intrigued by one of their headline stories. They were insinuating that a “well known star” was an ampon ( adopted) and claimed to have the legitimate birth certificate of the “star”.
On being a Novo Ecijano and the 2007 Philippine Elections
Despite of the chance that one could get shot while voting in our province, I would still wake up early on May 14 and stand in a line to be able to cast my vote. No, I will not vote for a “dynasty” that calls itself the “New Strength of our Province” nor to the other party that promises the people that they are the future of Nueva Ecija. Because I believe that the strength and future lies within us Novo Ecijanos and not within these politicians who scramble, during the elections, for power while trampling on each and everyone’s basic human rights.
Feeling Close: 2007 Senatorial Election — Vick “Yorgay” Magshayshay 2nd Edition
Whew! that was a long break from doing a number two! *winks* Of course this is the second part of Feeling Close: Yorgay Edition. Also, please do check out the Prospero Peachy edition that I did about a month ago. I would again like to thank the Inquirer.net Eleksyon 2007 blogs for the transcripts of the interviews that they have. In my own opinion every wise Filipino voter should read the transcripts and listen to the Podcasts that they have on their website. It will surely enlighten you and make you an informed voter. Here are the remaining parts of the podcast transcript. If you have any meds for headache please do take them now before proceeding. Oh and you are planning to vote for Yorgay? Well then good luck to you!
