WHO STOLE THE COOKIE!?

I remember a game when I was young,

a game my family, and friends and I played.

It goes with clapping of hands and touching another's.

I know some of you remember that.

[I guess no one plays the game now,

with the advent of video games.]

Anywayz, it goes this way:

• "Somebody stole the cookie from the cookie jar.
• Who, me?
• Yes, you!
• Couldn't be!
• Then who?"

And it goes on and on.....

until someone fumbles and cannot answer.

Sounds similar to what is happening in our midst.

NOW, let me rephrase it so it may be up to the times.....

• "Someone" stole the funds from the OWWA jar;
• Who's she?
• Not me, says ate glue!
• Then who?
• mikey, iggy and vicky toh!

Nyah-ha-ha!

Hang in there, Pinoy!

“May bukas pa, sa iyong[ating] buhay….

Tutulungan ka[tayo] ng Diyos na may lalang…”

…………sabi sa awit ni Basil [Basil nga ba?]

Huwag mawalan ng pag-asa, mga kapatid.

Just look at EDSA 1, wala namang nagplano,

pero naging totoo:>>>>

umalis ang diktador, sumakay ng helikopter:

a kala niya’y Paoay, yun pala’y Hawaii.

**
Look at EDSA2:> akala ng lahat ginto na ang kapalit,

yun pala’y may bingit, malditang malikot,maharot at mahilig.

Walang nagplano pero nagkatotoo;

Walang may gawa kundi ang nasa Itaas.

Sa gitna ng dilim, may langit na kakamtin,

Basta’t umasa’t magdasal: ating patalsikin!

***

Malay nyo, baka bukas, pag hinarang ang impeachment,

mag-react na ang taumbayan,

umapaw na ang pasensiya at

mag-rally sa Miranda.

Ayos!

OF CHEATS, MIDGETS and PAY YOUR PAL

• Who's the cheat?

• Who's the midget?

• Who pays her pal?

There you go!

Got the answer? It's easy, actually. You can see her face in almost all of the Dailies in the Metropolis. She, whose hands cannot stop touching money wherever it may be: OWWA fund, Fertilizer Fund, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera....

The midget, payor, cheater, aka: glueria macapal-arrovo does ALL the work.
She even makes it a point to call garci
of the famed "yung dagdag, yung dagdag" series.

There she is gagging and making "gago" not only of the Legislative branch of the government,
but also the entire nation. She issued a directive to her alipores saying they cannot testify, talk, be interviewed by anyone, without prior clearance from her office. Now she says that the impeachment proceedings in Bastusang Pambansa [What an apt description, Manolo Quezon!] cannot be televised as it "may hamper the proceedings."

Hanggang saan tayo magtitis?

JUST-TIIS na lang ba?

Nasaan na ang JUSTICE!?

Wala na nga, wala.

Marami lang ng cheats, and cheaters;
Karamihan nasa COMELEC.

Marami rin ang payees....
Punta kayo sa House of RepresentaTHIEVES.

Pero iisa ang midget na sumira sa Bayan!


Matabunan ka nawa ng bulkang sumabog.
Amen.

DESPERATELY THIRSTY

Today marks the 61st year

since the second A-bomb was dropped in Nagasaki:

August 9, 1945. 11:02 a.m.

*

Bockscar, the B-29 bomber carrying a plutonium-core atomic bomb

and commanded by 25-year- old Major Charles Sweeney,

dropped its deadly cargo over Nagasaki from a height of 9,600 meters.

Like the primary target Kokura in Kita-Kyushu,

Nagasaki was overcast that morning.

With barely enough fuel remaining to reach Okinawa,

Major Sweeney and his crew had to pinpoint their target

in the course of only one run

over the city.

By chance a crack opened in the clouds,

revealing the industrial zone stretching from the Mitsubishi sports field

in Hamaguchi-machi to the Mitsubishi Steel Works in Mori-machi

and automatically designated this as the bombing target.

**

The actual explosion, however, occurred some five or six hundred meters

to the north over a tennis court in Matsuyama-machi.

The rest is history, repeated twice

over the Land of the Rising Sun.

The first in Hiroshima,

and now, Nagasaki,

where thousands of Catholics live and work.

***

In an instant the entire tow-kilometer radius

from the hypocenter was reduced to ashes, literally.

In a second all those who were in the vicinity of the hypocenter died,

as flashes of heat melted everything, including the glass that was

found melted and fused with the bones of the hand

of an anonymous victim that held them.

The radiation released by the explosion of the atomic bomb

penetrated human bodies

and destroyed cells in various tissues.

The extent of injuries depends on the radiation dose,

but the vast majority of all people

within a distance of one kilometer from the hypocenter died.

Since this includes people without external injuries,

it shows the destructive capacity of radiation.

The damages caused by the atomic bomb

did not end at the moment of the explosion.

The radiation wreaked deep internal injuries

that appeared in subsequent years in various symptoms.

The radiation injuries inflicted that summer of 1945

continue to this day to cause suffering.

****

Survivors, after the bomb, said they were

"desperately thirsty....."

Yes, that was what they said.

*****

NOW

we are desperately thirsty

for that CUP OF PEACE to rule over the Land,

the Earth, even.

Can we have this Peace in our lifetime?

******

I continue to pray

that Peace descend upon men and peoples.

I am desperately thirsty for Peace!

AN OLD BOY with a TOY!

Last week, I went to the hillside town
to buy some corns.
Unfortunately, no corns were available.
It seems that the yield this year is way beyond par.

*
From afar, I saw something moving....
I stopped becoz I wanted a clear view of that moving thing.

There was this toy-helicopter, much much smaller than
the regular heli,
but bigger than a kid's toy.
Its size can seat a kid or two.

I thought someone was just playing with his toy,
but when I stopped the car, I saw a man in his forties
busy pushing a gadget.

It was a remote gadget that controls the heli.
And the heli was spraying insecticide on the rice field!

Attached to the heli are two orange-colored plastic containers.
I believe this contained the fluid insecticide.

What a scene!
An old 'boy' playing with his remote while farming
his paddies!
I just wished I had my digi with me.

Hanggang kailan ka magtitis, Juan Makabayan?

"Guilty conscience needs no accuser."

That is what I have been told, in my youth by parents

who made realize at a young age how to live a clean life.

Guilty as guilty can be,

gloria ang her minions seem to be

to the eyes of the Filipino as well as to the eyes of the world.

Halos lahat na lang yata ng kababuyan,

ginawa nitong pamamalakad ng rehimeng gloria.

At magaling umiwas, ha?

Mula pa nang mabuking

at mabulgar ang kanilang

krimen at misteryo sa eleksyon....

[remember, "yung dagdag, yung dagdag!"]

naging palakad na yata ni arrovo na

umiwas to the umpfth degree ang

nakaupo sa may Pasig.

Nagkagulo sa Lebanon

[isip ko lang, paraan din kaya ng Maykapal na

magkaganito para mabulgar yung

madyik na nangyari sa

OWWA Fund?

Pwede, di ba?]

at nabulgar ang OWWA Fund.

BAWAL, sabi ng direktiba,

na magsalita, um-attend sa anumang imbitasyon ng Senado at

Kongreso ang mga tao niya

nang wala siyang pahintulot.

Ito marahil ay para makaiwas na madagdagan pa

ang baho at flak na nalantad na.

Baka nga naman may masabi ang

mga tauhan niya,

eh lalo pang malubog sa lusak ang mga ito.

Eh sa totoo lang naman, lubog na talaga eh!

Ang pinagtataka ko lang, bakit.....

BAKIT

tila OK lang sa mga taumbayan,

lalo na itong mga nasa Lehislatura na

bastusin sila ng taga-Malakanyang,

samantalang may desisyon na ang Supreme Court na

bawal ang EO ni gloria na

nag-iipit sa mga taong kumkalaban sa kanya?

Wala na bang patriot

o makabayang natitira sa Pilipinas?

Hanggang kailan tayo magtitiis?

Hanggang buhay si gloria?

Sino ang kikilos

kung hindi ang bawa't isa sa mga Filipino?

Kailan?

Sino?

Paano?

SUPER=DUPER MAID

Onli in da Pilipins!

Meyd prom da Pilipins!

This is the very idea of ate glue

who announced her "Super" Project after her SONA.

Super? as in superman?

Bakit?

Para MAKALIPAD gaya ni Superman,

nang hindi na maghagilap ang alipores ni gng. pidal

ng pera para sa paglikas ng ating mga Kababayan doon.

Nabubuking tuloy sila na ginastos nila ang

pera ng OWWA.

Remember the Fertilizer scam?

Ganun din ang labas ng pera ng mga OFWs.

May nandukot!

Sinasabi na mayroong 34, 000 OFWs na Pinoy doon.

At sa awa naman ng Maykapal,

halos 2,000ng mahigit lamang ang nailikas NA

hanggang sa kasalukuyan.

Super maid?

Naman, naman!

Wala na ba silang maisip kundi pagiging domestik?

Aba'y ang tingin sa ating mga Pinoy eh, pangkatulong na lang.

Naalala ko tuloy yung isang taga-HK na nakilala ko.

Nang nalamang Pinoy ako, sabi ba naman'y:

"My brother has a Filipina maid..."

Asar!

Sabi ko na lang

na nagsisikap kasi eh....

Pero the sarcasm didn't escape me.

Hanoba?

Pang-meyd na lang ba ang Pinoy?

Wala na bang alternatibong magawa ang

pamamalakad ni glue at ng kanyang

altar boys para maibsan ang exodus ng Pinoy?

Ipakita kaya ni glue ang pagiging isang super maid?

Mauna kaya siya?

Harinawang mapunta siya sa isang malupit na amo

at nang matikman niya ang

sinapit ng ating mga Kababayang

pinagmalupitan sa ibang Bansa.

Better still, kapag naparusahan na si glue ng plunder

at iba pa,

sana lang....

SANA LANG....

wish ko lang....

ang parusa sa kanya eh

maging SUPER MEYD siya ng Bayan:

TAGALINIS ng mga parke, toilets, preso.

at ng mga estero

[basta yung mga sobrang duming lugar....]

HABANG BUHAY.

Another Hiroshima?

Around this time last year, I wrote about Hiroshima.....

[please baktrack August 07,2005 entry:

No More Hiroshima!]

Another year has passed, and here is August 6 again.

Another hot summer day.

And people who adhere to PEACE will be gathering

at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park for the ceremony.

I cry....

I cry each time I remember Hiroshima.

I have never been to Nagasaki, but surely, one day I will.

I vow to visit and pay homage to one of the cities

devastated by the American forces

in the last WW.

As people here remember,

let us not forget that we are again on the verge of another war.

Iraq has suffered immensely.

Likewise, there's Afghanistan.

And now,

Lebanon's Hezbollah militia with

Israel.

*

When will all these stop?

WILL THERE BE ANOTHER HIROSHIMA?

**

Until Peace is achieved, there will be no rest.

BUT

HOW do we achieve Peace when there are people

who fight and kill each other?

...when there are those who keep and manufacture nuclear weapons?

...when people continue to feel superior to others?

....where is Peace?

....where ?

Tell me,

.......................

please!

BAD Habits-vs.-GOOD Manners

Bad habits are termed as one that is offensive to another;

a habit that does not conform with the normal norm or standard accepted in polite society.

~

While Good Manners are socially-accepted norms in any civilized society.

There are many individuals with bad habits we see around

as compared to well-mannered ones.

Some may be too offensive to write but nevertheless,

makes the doer repugnant to watch, hear or see.

Bad habits range from the simple to the most complex, depending on the one who watch.

~

I guess most of them have never been properly trained by their parents

or the proper agencies, like the school, the church or whatever association they belong to.

~

A child, they say must be trained at an early age.

The Bible says it all:

"Train a child in the way you want them to bes so that when they grow old,

they will not depart from it."

Anything learned by a child at this age[0-6/7y/o],

when their minds and hearts are most malleable,have long-lasting effect,

psycholigists claim.

I agree with this concept.

Child-rearing starts the day when as child begins to

follow simple directions from his/her parents.

This is reinforced every day since then.

The idea is for the child to be ready when

the parents release him to the outside world:

that is when the child begins to associate with others in school[7y/o].

By this time, his/her manners have basic foundation.

Growing up with great manners is a big plus to a person.

It prepares him/her to be a better and productive citizen of his country and the world.

Lately, we see a lot of people whose

manners show whenever they speak, write, or

by simply watching them from a distance.

NOW,

to which group do you belong?

LASENGGA!

Hindi lang pala gloria labandera si ate glue.....

lasengga pa!

May gulay naman, oo....

Hindi raw makatulog kaya umiinom.....

Sino kaya kasamang uminom???

At Cognac pa ang peyborit ng matandang bruha!

Bakit kaya?

Inaatake na ng KARMA?

Kinokonsensiya?

Meron ba siya nun?

Ganyan talaga kapag maitim ang buto, kasama na ang dugong

dumadaloy sa kanyang mga ugat!

Sinusunog na, buhay pa man.

Hindi makatulog kahit maraming datung.

Magnakaw ba naman?!

Nakawin pati ang boto ng Bayan!

Baka nga pati boto ko

sa Absentee Voting, eh, na-madyik din!

Aray!

~

May naipit, kaya may pumiyok!

~

Yan ang mahirap sa mga may utang na loob

lalo na kung ang "utang" eh illegal at ang inutangan eh

kaparis ilang mga halang ang bituka.

Ayun at pumiyok na si Ramon Tulfo laban sa

pressure na ginagawa sa kanya

at sa kanyang mga kapatid.

Tungkol ito sa kanilang show sa RPN 9

na pinamamahalaan ng gobyerno.

Kahit na nagbabayad ng napakalaking halaga,

hndi na ni-renew ang kanilang kontrata

for the next season.

Hinala ni Mon Tulfo, may kinalaman ito

sa expose` na ginawa niya sa sinisinta ni FatGuy na si Vicky Toh

at sa kapatid ni Toh na si Tomas.

Mga smugglers daw ang mga ito.

Lumalabas na "kasing-kasing"

[bweh^he^heh!]

ni Fatguy si Vicky.

Sabagay, pagkakataon na ni Tulfo na

maging "Bayani ng Bayan"

kung......

yan, eh, KUNG lang naman......

KUNG ibubulgar na niya ang lahat nang

nalalaman niya sa mga misteryo ni "bluebird".

Personally, I have refrained from reading Tulfo's column

at the PDI since I read him singing praises to the fat honcho.

I have no respect for those ASKALs licking the ass of

someone in power....

lalo na at peke, ano po....

NOW is the time for Tulfo to spill the beans while he still can.

People know the machinery and the killing fields

of the fake tenant by the Pasig.

It would be best to tell all

para sa Pinoy at sa Bayang Minamahal.....

NOW NA!

Baka sakaling halikan pa kita!

SILENT TREATMENT, anyone?

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and

were giving each other the silent treatment.

Suddenly, the man realized that the next day,

he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.

Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE),

he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM."

He left it where he knew she would find it.

The next morning, the man woke up,

only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight.

Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him,

when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.

The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."

Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

God may have created man before woman,

but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

(I really liked this part, hehe!

women are masterpieces, indeed!)

HOW to INSTALL LOVE

Tech Support: Yes, ... how can I help you?


Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've decided to install Love. Can you guide me through the process?


Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?


Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready. What do I do first?


Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?


Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running?


Tech Support: What programs are running ?


Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.


Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off ?


Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?


Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.


Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?


Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.


Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, "Error - Program not run on external components." What should I do?


Tech Support: Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.


Customer: So, what should I do?


Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.


Customer: Okay, done.


Tech Support: Now, copy them to the "My Heart" directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.


Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?


Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.


Customer: Thank you, God.

Babuyan na....

I read in MLQ3's blog the lines..."Bastusan na..."

when he described the manner by which

government servants behave

while in Office....

I couldn't help but agree.

But I kept mum on the matter coz I

thought, I'd let it pass...

muna....

Today I read a post by Uniffors and carried in the Daily Tribune

an incident which best describe the above lines.....

However,

after reading the entry,

I was shocked....

no, not shocked actually...

hated [is it the correct word, I wonder...

abhorred would be best, I think.....

the actions made by the "Justice" Secretary himself....

He bypassed several restrictions at the tight NAIA Security

as he coddled/escorted Bautista of LTFRCB

so she can avoid being served the warrant for her arrest.

Alam ng lahat na "bata" daw ni Gonzalez.

Ewan ko kung paanong bata:

bata as in gurlpren?;

or bata as in protegee?

hee-hee-hi-hee....

....

I thought he threatened those who gave shelter to

renegade soldiers running from the arms of Law?

Binaboy ni gonzalez ang kanyang pagkatao

at ang posisyon bilang Justice Secretary.

Binaboy!

Salamat po Doktor!

Nagkasakit daw si glenda?

Suspetsa ko, nagpa-retoke yan....

Buwan-buwan na lang nao-ospital!

Hmmm........

Naiiyak tuloy ako.....

Joke!

Hanuba?

Kahit isang patak, hindi ako mag-aabuloy ng luha

kay gng. pidal, anoh!

Ano, nababaliw?

Ano daw?

Baka nababaliw na si gloria dahil sa kakulangan

sa tulog?

Baka naka-Karma na?

Dapat lang!

HOPE

Picture this:

gloria walking smugly,

on the hallway of Batasan.....

tambourines and alalays, tuta and palakpak boys in tow,

then whiiiishhhh!

Typhoon glenda [actually it is gloria, kaya lang ginarci na naman!]

came with heavy winds that gloria fell on her face.

Getting up, helped by her goons,

she looked at the TV screen

covering the SONA.....

and

in her usual smug-faced countenance, said:

I.......

AM.....

...........GUILTY.

I hope this comes true......

as soon as possible!

BEATING THE HEAT

What can beat the heat?

Or better still, what must one do to beat this heat wave that

will be here until September,

when Summer is supposed to go?

Hmm...

lemme see......

Aside from the usual::::>

or

this>>>

When I was young, I remember Tatay boiling

some Green Mongo and letting it cool inside the ref.

He then adds crushed ice

[parang sa Halo-halo]

then sugar and lots of milk.

I didn't understand why

so I asked him why he tales time eating those.....

Eh pambata lang ang pagkaing yun, right?

He only said that it helps cool the body temp down.

I didn't pay much attention to that

until I saw on the tube

some medical segments on

how to survive the heat this Summer.

***

Actually in some parts of China,

and, specifically in Taiwan,

people there never....

[take note: never, ha.....so they say over there....]

experience heat stroke, or sunstroke.

It's becoz they have the food to

counter those.

****

I perspire easily, so I belong to the yellow group.

Some people do not seem to perspire that much.

They remain cool amidst the sun and the heat.

Those people belong to the red group.

Now the Yellow group, to which I belong

must partake of foods to help cool their body down.

These are: NASU[eggplant], TOMATO[tomatoes]

and SUIKA[watermelons].

I do not know why Japan has no Green Mongo

like those we have in Inang Bayan.

They eat lots of veggies but no Green Mongo!

So i guess I have to settle for

Tomatoes and Watermelons, huh...

plus gallons of

unless Maki sends me those Green Mongo

via EMS!

HEAT WAVE

38.3!

So far, the hottest this summer

.And that's in my place!

Good grief!

News of old folks being rushed to hospitals has brought panic among the locals.

I heard it's the same way in Germany and Cali.

Gosh, summer is just beginning....

Ang tagal pa ng September!

It's school holiday: and it goes on for 4o+ days.

Moms were seen in supermarkets with kids in tow

buying snacks, juices and watermelons to quench their thirst.

While Jiji is in Yokohama,

I tried to be a good gurl by cleaning the garden.

Tomatoes and cucumber abound

but my ampalaya didn't survive.

Grrr...

And I must check those CORNS.....

I went there late and all the shops were closed!

Tomorrow is another day.....but I better start early

so I can grab the best choice!

Kain-na-kain pa naman ako....

SAUNA

Yesterday, having seen the first sunlight after weeks of persistent rains,

I decided to cut the other half of the trees that lined the property.

I have done with the other half last week, remember?

Anyway, knowing that the sun might hurt my skin [arrgh!]

I splashed oodles of sunscreen all over my face and arms.

Got the wide-brim hat typical of every Lolo who farms their lots,

and wore Lolo's jacket he normally uses when it rains.

What for? One may ask.....

Well, parang sauna na rin.

Lately, my lifestyle have been sedentary

.....................very!

So to counteract those starting to accumulate fats....

I decided to take a sauna....while working, that is!

So I started with gloves on..got the farm implements from the bodega.....

But I saw the Lola from the other side of the fence: that Lola who is soooo madaldal!

And I have no time entertaining her inquisitiveness at that moment.....

So instead, I embarked on the small outgrowths near the pathway.

I cleared the mintsthat has outgrown along the path.

Some has invaded the area where the AC/Heater's outlet is....

I wandered along the garage, but finished only a portion since the sun was getting high.

Besides, I was perspiring too much already.

Which is, the primary purpose of this activity anyway....

I called it quits and headed for that shower!

What a marvelous feeling!

Ahhhh! What nice feeling to hit two birds with one stone.

I wonder how I will fare today?

Mamaya na yun.......

In the meantime, I trek to the hills

to get those CORNS [again!]!

It has been sometime since I last gobbled some....

BAD TASTE

It was all done in bad taste!

Some praise it [you know you are!],

but then when analyzed,

the result could be found wanting....

WHY?

Ask yourself!

Matalino ka, di ba?

NEUTRAL?

SONAvagun!

SONA? what's that, you ask....

Well, that's what a leader tells her country, or people, for that matter.....

to report to the people the accomplishments made in the past year.

But in my country's case, the "leader" isn't supposed to be the leader.

Meaning?

Well, she is a fake, a pretender!

THAT exactly is what gloria arroyo is: a fake!

Notwithstanding numerous rallies and the rain,

she trooped to Batasan and delivered her well-crafted speech,

thanks to her image-maker and other advisers.

BUT the real STATE of the Nation is a mess:

a real mess.

Who cares what the fake says, or

displays?

People no longer care!

~

I hate to say this, but hOW can these people

allow themselves to be used as PROPS for gloria's

"glitzy" presentation?

I mean the Everest Team, pacquiao, and the Ms. Beauty Contest,

whoever that damn s---t was!

Magkano ba ang natanggap nyo?

Lahat gagamitin ni gloria

for her own self-interest.

Pati na yung mga nakarating galing sa Lebanon!

Eh klahat ng ginamit doon,

galing sa Kaban ng Bayan, di ba?

Pati na yung bayad sa "PALAKPAK Boys ni glue!

STOP COMPARING!

Stop Comparing By: Bo Sanchez

*

We live in a pathologically dissatisfied world.

And I'm going to tell you why.

====

Because we love to compare.

Go around the world and discover that people aren't happy with their bodies.

Filipinos want to be fair-complexioned like Westerners, and so buy bleaching stuff.

Westerners want to own bronzed bodies like ours, and so purchase tanning lotions.

Those with moles have them removed,

while those who don't strategically implant beauty spots.

Some people want to shed a few pounds to look like Ally McBeal,

while others want to gain some baby fat to look like Drew Barrymore.

When are we ever going to stop and simply be happy with how we look?

We live in a sick world, I tell you. And that sickness is comparisonitis.

~

Take a look at wealth. When we drive our old Toyota, it really suits us fine.

We feel blessed in fact when the rain pours outside and

we feel snug and cozy on its faded upholstered seats.

But the moment we see our own officemate (or neighbor, or buddy, or cousin, or brother)

drive his sleek sky-blue, four-door, four-wheel-drive Rav4,

we automatically feel like third class children of God.

Next time we drive our bumpy, noisy, rusted, dilapidated Toyota

(notice how all the defects come out all of a sudden?),

we feel deprived, dispossessed, pariah, debased, and

only a little higher than the insects of the earth.

Listen carefully. Bill Gates' total assets are worth $60 billion.

That's more than the GNP of some small countries.

Tiger Woods earns $80 million simply by smiling on TV in a Nike shirt.

And the stars of the sitcom Friends are paid $50,000 per episode!

~~~

My point?

No matter how hard you work,

there'll still be some people who will be richer than you are.

And there'll be some people who will be more beautiful,

have more sex appeal, have more boyfriends/girlfriends, and have more problems.

~~~~

Try it for once.

Stop looking around. Don't compare!

*Don't compare her nose with your nose.

*Don't compare his wife with your wife.

*Don't compare his salary with your salary.

*Don't compare her breast size with your breast size.

*Don't compare her kid's report card with your kid's report card.

*Don't compare his prayer group with your prayer group.

*Don't compare her/his cellulite deposits with your cellulite deposits.

*Stop comparing and start living and you'll be happier with your life.

This is crucial:

The most difficult thing in the world is to be who you are not.

Pretending and trying to be someone else is the official pastime of the human race.

(I don't think dogs and cats and cows and horses have this problem).

*And the easiest thing in the world is to be yourself.

Be happy.

Live!

There must be a reason why God made you

tall or short or fat or thin or bumpy all over.

Love who you are!

UNUSUAL RAINFALL

The rainfall has been unusually heavy and persistent the past few weeks

that the government has urged the residents of hard-hit areas

to flee and go to evacuation centers.

The ground has been made loose becoz of the rain that

it is not known when and where the landslide will occur.

~

There were old folks found dead. Most are living alone and far from the others.

How long it will take to restore the houses broken by the sudden flooding,no one can tell.

To think these rains were caused NOT by typhoons alone

but becoz of the massing of clouds in western Japan.

~~

In my area, the rains were persistent that my laundry has suffered a lot!

I can't even go out without getting wet!

Besides, I miss the corns from MORI!

Walang magha-harvest kapag maulan, noh!

The Weather Bureau has said that the peak of the rainy season here

will be over by next week.

Sana naman.......

Who cares for the SONA?

THe country is in shambles, the economy philandered by the pidal couple

and their cohorts....

His men are seen gallivanting in luxurious hotels

with a has-been starlet in tow,

[totoo yan, I've seen them with my own eyes!]

while battles rage on in the South.

Pinoys stranded i war-torn Lebanon

risking life and limbs to send that moolah

to help boost the economy........

Oh I could rant on but do you think the

fakes would take notice?

Naaahhh!

They won't!

More specifically, she won't.

Why, she is busy as a bee

planning and plotting evil schemes

to cover-up her misdeeds.

Not to mention the bulk of cash that

has been used to shut the big mouth of those in the know.

So what's new?

SONA?

Eh siya at ang bahay nya kaya ang ipa-SONA

para malaman ng Bayan ang itinatago niyang baho?

~~~

For sure, the fake lilliputian will bring in tow her

"Palakpak Boys"

that at every turn and cue,

she will receive a standing ovation,

with ominous palakpaks from her tutas.

TODAY

A good plan today

is better

than a perfect plan

tomorrow.
