~weeps~ (strategy to think)
You are making me cry with your question Mr. Baldwin! I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.
~more hikbi~ (more strategy to buy time and think)
You see, one of the biggest mistakes I made just recently, in fact, they even dethroned me as Miss Philippines, was not minding the little things that matters the most about joining the Miss Philippines beauty pageant.
(i swear to god! the crowd will roar!)
You see Mr. Baldwin, I am an illegitimate child and in the Philippines, we are being frowned upon.
(Believe me, …

President Benigno Aquino’s 1st State of the Nation Address (SONA) will be shocking, says one headline news. It reads: “Aquino says SONA will ‘shock’ Filipinos“. But if you read it, it’s all about how much was left by the Arroyo’s on the national coffers. That’s not shocking. That’s expected from these corrupt [insert bloody anything here]. What is shocking is that – you still see all of these KUPALS (thanks to Larry Leviste) prancing around – even in the halls of Congress. That’s what’s shocking.
Several weeks ago, out came the …

Maybe some of you have been wondering what my current beef with the NBI is all about. Here’s the story behind it.

When we apply for an NBI clearance and we get cleared – we normally get our passports, or get employed overseas and it indicates we have no “hits” on the system. We are asked to fill out a form – complete names from your maiden name to the name of your parents as well. Then you line up, for hours, for each and every step it …

Touted the even as the most star-studded presidential inauguration ever, it featured performances from well-known Filipino artists. Showbiz denizens mingled with politicians and diplomats in the audience. Arguably, it was the most anticipated official function of recent memory. ~ Spot.ph
Pictured below are the list of celebrities who made some fashion statement during the inauguration day of Noynoy Aquino.  Have your say on who wore our traditional gown and Barong Tagalog better. Photo credits courtesy of JJ Soriano and Iliac Diaz:

I got a call from a former comrade, they are now converging on the streets of the EDSA, waiting for the imminent yet another uprising to unfold.
I was inside the former US base where I currently hold my office. It was another period of turmoil and political uncertainty. Then Philippine President Erap Estrada is facing impeachment charges at the floors of the Senate.
I wanted to go to the capital, and join the ongoing protests. But something I felt at that time was out of line. The dreams of the …

Listen.
I’m sure the political party Ang Kapatiran (The Brotherhood) is not dumb. But lest we forget, they are very conservative.
Their vocabulary would rather stick to pototoy instead of penis, flower instead of vagina. Com’on, don’t be shy – repeat after me! With attitude!
No los intiendo.
As conservatives, they are against the sex education campaign in Philippine schools to the point of even saying that it promotes promiscuity among children.
“Sex education in schools is not the answer to our population problem and poverty,” Eric Manalang, head of the conservative political party Ang …

Back in the 90’s, I went to Colombia to visit a friend. I remember when I told my boss that I’ll be in Bogotá for 2 weeks, he went nuts! My officemates were laughing at me. I was subjected to a lot of ridicule. “Huh! I’ll prove you all wrong!” I told them. My boss even offered me a free round-trip ticket to go to France instead. You see, back then, Bogotá was a war-zone. It’s spelled: Pablo Escobar. You can’t miss it on American TV. Bombs were exploding all …

About 46 countries including all the 27 members of the European Union, with the exception of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, San Morino, and the Ukraine have decided to adopt the Bologna Accord this year – 2010.
I can’t help but notice: “Bakit parang wala lang?“, as far education officials are concerned?
What is the Bologna Accord?
In 1999, the Ministers of Education of 29 European countries agreed to make the school systems of their countries compatible with each other. Degrees from one country would then have to be accepted …

The madlang people have spoken…and so…my president didn’t win HAHA. But Gibo losing to Noynoy isn’t that bad, I guess.
Out of all the presidentiables, Noynoy was my 3rd choice hoho. I hope he’ll do well in the next 6 years.
And Binay’s winning is such a wonderful surprise! I honestly feel sorry for Mar, he wasn’t my bet but I thought he’s gonna win this election hands down. Do you think he became too complacent about winning? I think so. It appears to me that he’s all about winning. Winning safely, …

I don’t know if Binay spokesman is trying to foment and/or drive a wedge between Aquino and Binay with his ultra-dilated version of the cold shoe conversation of Binay & Aquino at the proclamation. At the same time, there is always the usual apologetic line that they will accept whatever position that is given to Binay by Aquino. Then, what’s with all the anti-Noynoy media rants? It’s not needed. While I understand that the VP position in the Philippines has no official responsibility other than those given by the President, …

My response?! DA NERD!!!

Just how many “Unsolicited advice” have we heard from so many wannabe-advisors to President Noynoy? Quite a lot, davah? Imfak, Gloria has one too many. Malacanang Palace too! But here is one piece of unsolicited advice that I just can’t help reacting.
Malacañang gave incoming President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III a lesson or two on governance, cautioning him against discriminating his political opponents during his six-year term daw! Tapang magsalita!!!
They said:
You are the president even of your enemies.
“When you become the President, you become the President of …

It’s USA versus England!
Ok. Actually, it should have been the British.

Well, it’s close.
I’m not really talking about the action going on in Johannesburg, South Africa. I’m talking about the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico where a British company is the villain and the Americans are the victims.

You see, the British are angry with Obama’s constantly using the words “British Petroleum” when BP only started using the word BP two years ago. To them, by constantly referring to BP as “British Petroleum” it seemed like it …

Here in my part of the world (the United States), some economic experts just love to find somebody to blame for our struggling economy. Before it was Japan’s fault, now it’s China. And it’s so easy to blame China with its double digit economic growth and exports that is an envy of the world while we struggle here. What is difficult, is to understand the effects of China’s currency revaluation.
It is not even looking good because some “US politicians have repeated threats to impose trade sanctions on China if it …

Aquino-Binay: No news
Congress says it’s final. It’s Aquino and Binay. I visited some of the blogs that I visit frequently, I checked the statuses of some of my FB friends, and everyone in cyberspace is silent. Mar Roxas is mulling an electoral protest. He should, it’s a very close fight. He shouldn’t because it will take 7 years to resolve the issue.
Proxy war

In the June 3, 2010 Abante Issue, Arnold A. Clavio write: Simple lang, Noy!
“Kung ayaw mo! Huwag mo!! Yan naman ang dapat ipukol pabalik sa nagmamaktol na susunod na pangulo ng bansa na si Sen. Noynoy Aquino 111 kaugnay ng isyu ng pagtigil niya sa paninigarilyo.
Hayaan na natin siyang mamaho habang kausap nya ang ilang foreign Dignitaries.
Pabayaan na nating dumumi ang kanyang ngipin o ang malala ay dapuan siya ng kanser sa lalamunan, sa dila, sa ngalangala, sa gilagid, sa baga at kung saan pa.

There are too many issues to count, floating around with regards to Noynoy & Mar tandem, the Noynoy & Binay tandem, the Hyatt 10, the Kamaganak Inc., Cabinet choices and lately, Juana Change a.k.a. Mae Paner.
I pray that these internal fights will not sideline or obliterate the real issues. There’s the plight of the political prisoners, there’s the Ampatuan Massacre, there’s the midnight appointments, there’s the Marcos ill-gotten wealth, there’s a new security guard at the Congress, there’s the speeding justice of the Employee of the Decade waving her magic …

The logic is simple: if there is a life threatening situation (in the Israeli case, a threat to their national security) or unless provoked into violence by terrorists, therefore, there is a need to defend their country and do necessary means to subdue the people that might have the capacity to endanger their lives and create havoc.
However, the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) failed to recognize that simple logic. They have shown one of the brilliant pieces of military idiocy committed on international waters. I guess most of us …

I saw this horrible video on CNN and I can’t help but analyze what’s going on.
Slide 1 – We won’t know what happened to these two vehicles before they appeared on the video. But if you look at the video and this picture, it appears that the truck was passing the car just normally.

Slide 2 – But I can’t help noticing that the truck came very close to the car. Or was it the other way around?

Slide 3 – The car moved away.

Slide 4 – But I noticed he …

Maloloka ako ki former assemblyman Homobono Adaza. Hindi lang sya nagbanta na magkakaron nang deklarasyon nang failure of elections pero, nagbanta pa sya na mega-file daw sya nang charges against US Ambassador Harry Thomas Jr. and Chinese Ambassador Liu Jianchao before the Office of the Ombudsman for allegedly conspiring to “proclaim” leading presidential candidate Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III as the duly elected president of the Philippines.
At tyak akong mangyayari to dahil, kung kaya nang Ombudsman na ma-clear si Gloria Arroyo at ang asawa nyang si Juan Miguel …

RP economy grows 7.3%, arangkada nang news today. It’s ‘Glorious ending’ for Arroyo presidency sabi ni Romulo Virola, secretary general of the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB). Andito na naman tayo sa lesson nang GDP which means, Gloria: Dinaya Pilipinas.
Election spending, kasama ba sa calculations? Alam ko, maraming infrastructure projects sa Pampanga hahaha!!! Pohta! Hindi man lang umabot sa barrio namen! Grabe!
Anyway, iisa lang naman ang sinasabi nang news. Magdiwang tayong lahat because Gloriousness delivered a 7.3% GDP and so therefore asensado na tayo.
Ano na nga ang GDP? …

It all started when a South Korean submarine patrol boat was sunk by a torpedo. Later, the South Korean government would blame North Korea. The war of words was swift. The North accused the South of trespassing into its waters. Immediately, North Korea would freeze relations with the South. Why they would do such a hasty act when they rely on the South for their commerce is politically insane.
Yesterday, I was watching CNN and I saw that South Korea conducted an anti-submarine exercise. The North reacted that …

Tinira nang Dep’t Ed ang Jejemons. Tuloy they are now the newest superstars.
At least I know, we’re getting back to normal.
Soooo normal, there is now a war.
I’m not talking about the …

Imagine my new role: Reyna Elena, La Kapita de’l Barrio Siete, defender of Jejemon rights! Bwahaha!!! But don’t laugh now. In fact, I’ve been labeled as a Jejemon already.
Jejemons are called the new jologs, labeled as people of inferior mentality. If they are of inferior intellect, then how in the world were they able to invent and be creative with a brand new language of their own? And if you’re a jejemon hater, show your prowess of superior intellect by translating their language. Care for a challenge?

Like our reader …

Recently, we heard this language fad – yeah, the jejemon language thingy – spread like wildfire among the youngsters of today. Not only the language became the fad but it also included some of the fashion too – the jejecap. And now, the fad is becoming more infectious (thanks to media), DepEd is now urging to purge the mentality out of the classrooms.
As it begins the yearly cleanup to prepare schools for the start of School Year 2010-2011, the Department of Education is also seeking to cleanse school-age Filipinos of …
