New Beginnings

The Road I Must Take

I want to transcend to a higher dimension so I am bidding my old spirit farewell. We've been  together for so long and I know it will be hard to leave you behind. I know it will still be a long blogging journey for me but now we have to part our ways. I don't want my blog to be a remnant of my foolishness; I want it to be a prize I can be proud of. So please forgive me.

The Work I Must Do

I regret to have blogged for the sake of readership. I tried to please people and I thought that was alright but that is a problem now; I no longer blog to express my feelings as much as I would love to and that defeats the purpose of why I write. I write because I want to express what I feel through the art of letter. I should always remember what's essential to my life- passion. Isn't what someone feels about what they're doing more important than the end result?

LRT and the Pocketful of Fat Swines

No, LRT is not a new chronicle like Harry Potter. LRT is the congregation of massive trains atop the giant pillar-supported railways in the middle of our highways. We ALL know how LRT operates so there's your brief introduction.

LRT is supposed to be the answer to our transportation troubles. It's fast and should cut several minutes off our commute periods. It's partially subsidized by the government therefore it is very economical especially if you're travelling long distances. It's... crowded!!! One of the biggest thing anybody should try to understand that LRT is very popular for commuters thus, it is usually crammed with lots of people and with a special consideration when it is a rush hour.

However, some people miraculously overlook this common super hardcore fact and on one busy morning (when people were almost literally ass cheek-to-cheek), two of them happened to have fallen in line at a ticket vending machine behind me. As I had flipped my bag to my side to get some coins, my bag hit the people behind me. Well I guess nobody minds a small thing like that. Oh please, there is a slim chance that my bag wouldn't hit anybody anyway.

Afterwards, two people (two fugly bitches) suddenly outraged about being hit with my bag and sermoned me out loud to watch where my bag is going. To my disappointment I immediately rebutted with an eye-opener that it is crowded and that things like that happen because it is a public place. But you know what? These fuglies just won't give it up and refuted that "I better be careful." Quickly sensing a threat, I asked them what their problem is, and just as stupid as they were before, told me that their problem is me and my bag. Not being able to control my anger anymore, I yelled at them and said that: "If the two of you  weren't that fat and occupying that much space, I wouldn't have hit you in the first place so shut the fuck up!" They were clearly outraged and with disdain, they desperately appealed to the onlookers and screamed that I was a fag for taking them on. After their consolatory groundless remarks, I just thought that I ought to leave them a little remembrance and left with my extra special giant middle finger stuck in the air. Boom Boom Pow! (Pahiram ng expression, Love)

Pope Benedict XVI, No Special Treatment!

Pope Benedict XVI finds police raids of several buildings in Leuven, Belgium, "Deplorable" over concerns of alleged "abuse of minors committed by a certain number of Church figures."

"I want to express, dear brother in the Episcopate, as well as to all the Bishops of Belgium, my closeness and solidarity in this moment of sadness, in which, with certain surprising and deplorable methods, searches were carried out."

"I hope that justice will follow its course while guaranteeing the rights of individuals and institutions, respecting the rights of victims, (and) acknowledging those who undertake to collaborate with it," Pope Benedict said in support to Brussels Archbishop Andre Joseph Leonard.

However Belgium's defense minister, Stefaan De Clerck, defended the police actions saying that the bishops were treated normally during the raid on the archdiocese and denied accusations that the bishops were deprived of food and drinks.

Do you know what I find deplorable? It's defending child molesters since molestations by the clergy is not new to the public. I don't get it why the Pope needs to be defensive. We are very much aware of it, and this kind of reaction from the Church won't calm public scrutiny. The children's safety should always be the only concern on everybody's mind, including the Church. The Pope should have just let justice take its course because nobody is above the Law. 

"The world moves according to God's plans." - Who hasn't heard this fundamentalist cliché yet? Now tell me if these child abuses are still part of that plan. Well the Pope's defense is a part of that plan. How about the victims of that plan who happen to be minors as young as FOUR? Another part of the plan? However, I still don't see why anyone should blame God for the Church's screw-up. 

WANTED GRO

Have you ever wondered if you can get hired as a GRO? This is the most common pub we see at establishments:

• Must be 25 yrs old and below
• At least 5'6''
• Good-looking
• With a good and pleasing personality

So do you think you have what it takes to be a GRO? But I retort that much more is needed to be one. Here are the qualifications that is missing in the pub:

• Shameless
• Extremely obedient and Customer-oriented
• Energetic 
• Extra-durable genitalia

Most of the girls may already be sighing at this moment. Most will probably say: "Heck, why be a GRO in the first place?" Well let me give you top three reasons why you should be a GRO:

1. Money talks
2. You have the perfect excuse for being trashy and skanky
3. Work while having fun

0 Would you Wanna Wear This?

Sometimes truths are unbearable...
sometimes they are oblivious...
sometimes they are just funny...

Fat Girls, Beware of the Sea

Now this is what we call a punchline.

A 28-year-old Serbian woman was seriously injured in the Montenegrin seaside town of Budva yesterday when a local diver shot her with a harpoon.

The woman, identified as Maja Georgi from the town of Pančevo, was swimming some 20 meters from the shore when the harpoon pierced her left shoulder, in what local media described as an accident.

Georgi underwent complicated surgery in the nearby town of Kotor, said reports, and her condition is now stable and non-life threatening. 

The man who shot the harpoon was identified as Milan Lalović. He was questioned by local police and released, said reports. 

Podgorica's Vijesti newspaper quotes eyewitnesses who said the man injured the tourist accidentally, and immediately tried to help her.

this sick news is brought to you by, kmahinay, a deluded woman who claims she looks like a mermaid. meh. more like a dugong.

A Lesson Learned the Hard Way: The “Well Look at Me Now Story”

There was a time when I used to laugh at cripples…

Well look at me now, I accidentally tumbled down a spiral stairs and cut my thigh almost halfway, now I don’t think I’ll be able to walk again the way I used to.

When I was a kid, I bullied a friend about her early onset acne…

Well look at me now, I know exactly how she felt when I harassed her and I doubt I’ll ever forget that feeling for a very long time.

I used to be arrogant when dealing with people who can afford less…

Well look at me now, I’m old and I can’t find a good job. I’m not only becoming poor in the pocket but poorer in spirit as well.

I have been a terrible son – I lied to and mocked my parents…

Well look at me now, I thought I don’t need them as much anymore, but when the world turned its back on me, they were there for me and I felt guilty.

Dealing with Aggression (Part I)

This is a two-part essay. Help me and let your voices end the conclusion of this post by commenting questions, suggestions, and yes,  even violent reactions.  Like Fun and Fearless said from http://theseekergirl.blogspot.com/, "Comments of whatever kind are all welcome." Don't worry I will appropriately cite your sites on my next post.

Aggression is a fairly common challenge we all have to deal with. From a kid who gets bullied in grade school to an office-man who gets scolded by his boss, there will always be a space for aggression. Becoming successful during these days require a lot more than ambition, guts, perseverance, and wits. One must also be able to deal effectively with aggression towards him (and vice versa). 

Dealing with aggression is more than a flow or resist option; as a result from the years of evolution in reasoning, civilly managing aggression has become the most preferable way of settling misunderstandings. But even though most of us know how to act in certain situations, most of the time our emotions get the best of us. Meaning, we become too emotional -disabling us to solve disputes objectively.

There are plenty of triggers of aggressive behaviors (anger, frustration, shame) but however varied those triggers are, there is only a single underlying factor for aggressive behaviors, and that is a threat to survival. Survival is the fulfillment of a person's needs (physiological, safety, love and belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization). So whenever a person demonstrates aggression, it is almost always that the person feels threatened. 

Effectively dealing with aggression is easy to say and understand. The hard part is doing it. Especially if aggression has escalated to hostility in either or both parties. A person who is infuriated and on a 'cursing/swearing fit' will probably not listen to your explanations however valid they are. So in these cases what should one do?

15 An Open Letter To Mr/Ms Anonymous:

Caution: Due to the harsh language of this post, reader discretion is advised.

Dear Mr/Ms Anonymous,

Are you nuts (Nauulol ka na ba)? You know what? I have never EVER claimed to be perfect in any way. I don't have to name them because OBVIOUSLY (if you have a functional IQ) they are STEREOTYPES. Figuratively, they can be your mother, your father, whatever. What I'm trying to say is - if you were hurt in any way, that's NOT my problem! Just tell me if I need to "dumb down" my statements, in case you still have trouble understanding. I would be PRIVILEGED and HONORED to educate you. ^_^

And  by the way, just to remind you, I am not obligating anybody to visit my blog and that includes you, Mr/Ms Anoynymous, so if you find my post/s "nonsensical," then STOP VISITING MY BLOG!!! It's that simple. I hope you understood that well enough.

And on the behalf of the people who read and enjoy my blog and the other blogs which you classify to be "horse dung," isang malutong na: "PUTANG INA MO PO." yun lang. What might seem to be nonsensical to you might be sensible to others. I'm just disheartened that your faulty intelligence and unkempt attitude is affecting your perception. 

P.S. You still haven't introduced yourself. What's the matter? Are you SCARED? Why don't you reveal identity so that your (most likely) ugly name and fucking face can back-up what you are saying? Ang bakla mo naman.


With Love,

Ok, here's how it goes for some losers at facebook: Some people post a shoutout, then comment niya, tapos like niya pa. Sobrang self-supporting. I wonder why these poor people just love broadcasting how desperate they are. For those people that will probably say to me na: "Eh di i-delete mo sila para hindi ka magwa-wa-wala dyan." I just want to point out that: Why the heck should I eliminate my daily dose of humour? Haha.

14 Manila Tour, My Post Philippines Independence Day Post

"Huwag maging dayuhan sa sariling bansa."

Let me guide you to the streets of Manila. Over to your left is... Uhhh... Probably... Yep, the DIY (Do It Yourself) replica of  Malacanang Palace. Take your time and gaze upon these magnificent architectural wonders:

Heat is building up! This on the other hand, is a rare spectacle. You are very blessed to witness the "askal," the pet/livestock of the typical Filipino household, consummating in perfect form. Observe and reflect.

"Tangkilikin ang sariling atin." A hearsay which means patronize our own products. The fishball is truly Filipino cuisine's own pride and joy. Aside from being insanely affordable, it is very accessible. And it also comes with a free unlimited sauce, yum!

Multimedia Fan? Then the DVD shopping district in Arlegui, Quiapo will be a haven for you. They've almost got every title in the world there is- from children's programs to Hollywood action to erotica; This place will never fail to amuse you.

Goverment warning: Piracy is a crime. Not in the Philippines! Ha ha.

If 7 eleven and Ministop won't sell cigarettes and liquor to little children, these Sari-Sari stores would. AND THANK GOD FOR THIS SARI-SARI STORES, I didn't have to wait until 18 to buy my first Ginebra (Beer). They sell rugby too, supposedly intended for gluing things together. Supposedly.

There are plenty more neat stuff I would like to show you, however I need to cut our trip short because I need to dream about a hot babe making love to me now.

I have stolen these beautiful pictures from different websites. God bless.

6 Roach Chronicles: Terrors of a Rattled Child

I hate roaches. Roaches are evil. It's not just because I am squeamish, it's because when a roach performs a perfect landing on your neck, you'd probably run around, flail your arms, and scream like hell.

     roaches - 1

     aris - 0

0 Automatons

Has your life been under routine this entire time? Probably yes. This is because most of us believe in regularity. Most of us were taught that regularity is good; we lived by it; we thought it is better than ideal. It makes us feel that time can be tamed for most of the part. Regularity is what makes the world 'even' as much as possible. This world is overrun by regularity and that fact will last forever.

Many people thought that they have succeeded in their lives because they followed a specific pattern. A pattern in which everybody thinks and say that is a 'prerequisite for success'. Well there has been many patterns of success - stories of which I hear claiming triumph because they did this and that at the right time. But will it work for everybody? And just to inform you, ideas don't come in a pattern, most of the time ideas that made billions of hard cash came at an unexpected time at an unexpected place.

Well first of all I am happy for these people who dedicated their lives to rhythm and were handsomely rewarded. But how about those who didn't? They could have done better. I just don't think that regularity is everything in this world. Sure it keeps me from straying too far from being disorganized but I rarely let it hinder my spontaneity. I'm just disappointed in most of the time when regularity limits creativity; how society inappropriately censures randomness.

Let me share with you a 10:41 minute clip of a video of a strict society wherein stepping out of line holds great consequence for a preprogrammed humanoid, Bartholomew 467. Just to help you have a better grasp on what I mean.

This indie clip was directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and is owned by Movieola.

Well it's not about being a non-conformist. Whatever works for you is fine. But never forget that other things might work for you as well. Don't be afraid to rock the boat just because everything is secure at the moment. Open your mind to more possibilities so that you can weigh more options. Broaden your perspectives. And as long as you can balance between everything, you will do great.

P.S. Thanks a lot to the two people who have helped me stir this post up. Now, that was something unexpected...

6 Lovely Nest, Eh?

Not all nests are lovely. Last night, I decided to expand my horizons by visiting linked blogsites I have never visited before and in the way, make a friend or two. 

However I stumbled upon a blog of a lady (minus the lady manners) which I should never have. I left a message on her chat box (Basing from the title of her blog) asking: "What makes her nest lovely."  Just for an icebreaker instead of the usual: "bloghopping," "was here," "Hi Visiting Here," and so on and so forth. Well, after about an hour or two, she blurted out on my chat box saying that: "What do you care if my nest is lovely? seems like you are interrogating me. Well thanks anyway but I don't need to answer your que." 

I think that the moderator of this blog is outright rude. Don't let the girly-feel of this blog deceive you. She's one whacked-up lady (again, minus the lady manners). First and foremost, the title of your blog is your eye-catcher (every blogger should know this) and if you don't want anybody to notice it and ask about it then don't name your blog. 

Second, Don't jump to conclusions. It's impolite to demean a phrase or a statement basing from uncertain presumptions; "seem/s" is not good enough to give color to a statement. Can you imagine? Among the infinite possibilities of  interpretation to a brief question such as that, she chose one that involved me "interrogating" her. That's paranoia woman, you ought to have your annual psychiatric check-up. Maybe you need a new prescription. Just a piece of advice, don't listen to the voices until you see your shrink (or better yet never listen to them at all).

It is of her own shortcoming of course that she is cynical. Well, I am just a little shaken-up since this is the first time I encountered a crazy scenario here in blogger. Please excuse me readers. By the way, as an advocate of good education, girl, your spelling of "que" is wrong. It's supposed to be queue. I'm wondering too about how you managed to ill-fittedly use that word in your reply. Gee, you need to polish your manners, grammar, and spelling now. That I believe will take a very long, long time in your case.


What do you think people? Anybody want to share their insight about this lady (for the last time, minus the lady manners)? Can you guess who she is? Or do you think that I am at fault? 

3 I AM Nurse

I guess everybody's aware that there has been a sharp increase in the number of nurses lately. Let's be honest, not all of these nurses really took up this degree because of passion for the healing arts or solemn desire to help those in dire need rather almost all of these nurses are seeking greener pastures overseas. It seems like everybody's forgetting the essential reason for a nurse's existence.

I am a nurse and it took me four years to learn its discipline. Though with those years, came a realization that nursing is no one-way ticket to a pot-of-gold. I know now at the very least that it is a job jam-packed with many troubles such as countless professional setbacks, extremely irregular shifts, hazardous environments, and emotional wormholes. Thus, being a nurse is not anywhere near being a joke.

We nurses with all our humanly capacity are the world's partners in health and wellness. We are the stewards of your health; there will always be a part in any person's life when a nurse has reached over his or her helping hands. Being the backbone of health provision, anybody who looks down on us is ungrateful and is unaware of the numerous services we provide to humanity. Most of us nurses take pride with our chosen career and I am one of them - I am not 'just' a nurse, I AM a nurse!

Despite of our unending drive to help society, I have heard (and still hear) of many unchecked and careless remarks about us like (of which is famous) nurses are just doctor's handmaids. To these uneducated people, medicine and nursing are just different branches of the same field- healthcare. Doctors diagnose and prescribe. Nurses heal and care. That's fundamentally true from actual testimonials of people from both fields.

It greatly dissapoints me that not every nurse can well defend the very same cloth that I wear. For people to demean my work is like cut to me and my fellow nurses' hearts. Though unfortunate events may seem, being a member of liberal arts in the field of health care and as a socially responsible individual, I will continue to be a part of our voice in health advocacy, public safety, ethics, politics, crime, and religion. Such heavy burden for us to bear to fight for society's well-being... Well, what can I say? A nurse's got to do what a nurse's got to do. I hope you, may you be a nurse or not, join me to help form a better world for tomorrow.

3 Lost Verses on Fear

I have always been here beside you

Bearer beware, I cannot be vanquished, conquered, or controlled; I am a mark of your manhood.

1 Know your Music I - Flobots

It is hard to merge hip-hop and rock under one label but if it goes well the results are phenomenal taking a good hard look at the band Linkin Park who dominated in the music industry in the late late 90's to early 2000. Well yeah, I guess Linkin's a little bit Electronica anyway, yesterday I came across a new band while surfing undertaking the same genre as aforementioned and they were freaking awesome I tell you.

Flobots is a band who sprung from Denver, Colorado in 2000. Currently they have 6 members plus 1 session meber for the trumpet. They say they got influenced by many artists such as The Root, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Outkast, Kanye West, to name a few. Be sure to look up their myspace for more details.

http://www.myspace.com/flobots

You are not wrong boys - you are definitely looking at a hot violinist chick to the right. Now this is what we call a real band.

I am encouraging you to check out Flobots and their awesome tune, Handle Bars under their album Fight with Tools (2007) under Universal Republic Records.

Aside from this, I am also urging you to listen to their other songs under the same album such as The Rhythm Method, Jetpack, and The Moon. You'd expect that their beats will be agitating deducing from the nature of their combined genre but you'll be surprised that their music is somewhat soothing. Their lyrics altogether are not your typical improperly fitted jargons. The rhythm of their songs are just epic, very original, and crisp. Check it out for yourself.

Their newest song White Flag Warrior featuring Tim McIlrath is kind of catchy too so I guess if you liked the songs above you'd definitely Youtube this one up too.

Flobots get a solid 8.5 stars out of ten.

4 Wanna be

Your efforts to gain attention by posting intellectually devoid status, shout-outs, and comments in Facebook wont go in vain I promise. You will get what you ask for - everybody will think that you are slow in the mind from now on.

Will it hurt you to be a little more realistic? I guess that if you put a lot of heart into it, you wouldn't at least post shameful ramblings. Be a little more sophisticated than the bile-spewing psychotics on the streets since technically right now, you are no less the same.

Gee, I guess there's no getting through you since even if you were twice as smart, you'd still be stupid so I shouldn't have bothered in the first place.

1 Throes of Staleness I

Take a good look at me. I am stuck and I just want to sit here and watch everything stay the way they are as I am. I am stagnant, not going anywhere anytime; a permanent passenger of time waiting for life to betray me.

I don't want to feel and be felt so I blend in the cradle of silence, so do not find me since silence is nowhere. Everything must pass by in their own special way, however special I do not care, as long as everything leaves me unscathed and pure.

1 What Makes You a Human?

Nowadays it is uncommon for one to think about a seemingly naive question like this and I don't think anybody really cares anymore. It seems that for almost everybody, this question has been solved before even though it hasn't really been. It is funny to think that man's curiosity towards himself dissipates as abrupt as it blooms. Questions like this aren't really given much attention until one has spare time and I can accurately say that there are many people out there who die without even thinking or questioning their humanity; rather depressing if you ask me. You can see for yourself and try asking people this question and I bet that most will beg for a time to think about it, others will brush it off, but a great deal of them will try to make you sound crazy.

So, what makes you human? Ok, I'll give you a minute...
