Clean Elections
Here’s calling for a clean and honest elections this coming March… Not just figuratively clean — meaning no tampering, no cheating, no “accidental fires” and no killing — but literally clean — waste-free.
It would be a welcome change cause it seems as though...

New Noynoy Ad
Have you seen presidentiable Noynoy Aquino’s new political ad? It’s cute and almost as catchy as Manny Villar’s “nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura” thingy. And funny cause who would have known that Noynoy has a “talent” — i mean he did rap there.. lol....

american embassy, why are you so cruel to my friend?
My friend J is heartbroken because her father died. All of J’s family are now based in the USA and Canada. She is all alone here in the Philippines. She won’t be able to see her dad for the last time because she wasn’t given a tourist visa by the American embassy. This is the third time she applied for one. She wasn’t planning to apply anymore but, when her dad was fighting for his life, she wanted to be with her dad and the rest of the family.
Year 2001, about 9 years ago, her dad had a heart transplant. The first time she applied for a tourist visa, and also the first time the US embassy denied her one. The consul’s reason was J didn’t provide enough reason for them to believe that she will come back to the Philippines before her tourist visa expires. Good thing the heart transplant was successful.
Google Earth opens a new kind of exploration
Google Earth opens a new kind of exploration.
The aquisition of the EarthViewer 3D from Keyhole, Inc. offered an enormours advantages to people in every walks of life. Google, as a leading company in information technology offered a great platform for the development and perfection of the creation of the Virtual Globe popularly known as Google Earth.
Google Earth changes the way we look and the way we understand about the planet we live in. It s never been easy to locate our home, our school, our place of work and everything that matters to us. With a few click of the mouse we can see the place we wanted to go and even the the actual picture using street view. The places where only the rich and famous can see or the most remote where only explorers can go, can now be seen by everyone who wishes to see.
Politics, It’s in the Air We Breathe
No, this has got nothing to do with the National Elections.
Sa unang pagkakataon, tagalog ang blog ko dahil: (ay taglish pala)
mas masarap sumulat sa sarili mong wika lalo na pag may matindi kang emosyon na gustong ilabas (gaya ng inis na nararamdaman ko ngayon).
Hindi ako pulitiko, hindi ako pinuno at lalong-lalo nang ayokong sumabak sa pulitika. Narealize ko ngayon na sa kahit anong pagkakataon, sa kahit saang baitang ng pamumuhay mararanasan mo ang pulitika. Kahit ayaw mo siya, ipagsisiksikan niya ang sarili niya sayo.

Noynoy and the Kris Aquino Controversy
It’s almost impossible not to pity Noynoy… because it seems that whatever his younger sister Kris does, he would be dragged into it.
Which makes me think about what would happen if ever he becomes president? Will he be able to manage the country well with controversies about his sister coming...

Pinoy Green Police
“I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend?” - Robert Redford
Has anyone ever heard of a green police?
Apparently, there is a group on New York City’s...

So You Think You Can Be Lez?
The primitive way of viewing homosexuality is through a psychological eye. Being a lesbian is widely seen as having sexual relations with another woman. With this concept, people came up with 3 identifying components of a lesbian:
* Sexual behavior
* Sexual Desire
* Sexual Identity
Hence, homosexuality is seen as something that should be cured, if not all together admonished. Because of this primitive view on homosexuality, homosexuals are pushed to the dark alleys and back rooms of our society.
Today, I’d like to think that we’ve veered away from this concept. Homosexuality is now as much cultural and political as it is psychological. The many lesbian and gay movements prove that homosexuality is far more than just a deviation from the normal psychological development of an individual. It shouldn’t be seen as something to be cured in fear of spreading it to other people.

A Little About The Economy Here…
U.S. Job Losses in December Dim Hopes for Quick Upswing
This headline boomed up on me as if to mock my mother’s “success” and “fortune”, if there were such things.
The economy, as they have said, is in the worst shape and bound to become to be worse than the great depression. It’s chilling really…
Should we keep on hoping? Hell Yeah. Should we do it on blind faith? No.
I talked about adding an art related course to my schedule. my recipient only shrugged and challenged it’s profitability. I swear, if it wasn’t for my fuck it attitude, I would really kill someone. However, i was reminded that my recipient, in more ways then one, is actually a polar opposite of what i mostly am. A thing I’ve been avoiding, but i can’t because while i enjoy knowing things that are miles away from me, i still need to plant my feet on the ground and look 10 feet away.
Unfortunately, my schedule clashed with the said course. I’ll have a go at it next semester or as a summer course. They could just fuck themselves.
I browsed the comments of the said article, and it was really insightful, here are they (the last ones a killer): [MOAR]
