Iran’s EDSA Moments
Tulad ni Reynz , I’m impressed and overwhelmed by the sight of tehran’s streets teeming with protesting citizens, in the tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, and talaga naman, nakaka-wonder if this is Iran’s EDSA moment, sabay merong touch of inggit, kasi, WOW, we havent been able to raise such a crowd since EDSA 1986 (i don’t know that EDSA 2001, a poor sad crass imitation, drew as huge a sea of humanity).
But as the days go by, sa kakabasa at kakarinig ng tungkol sa sitwasyon sa Iran, it’s looking more like a prospective Tienanmen than an EDSA. Sana hindi. But unlike EDSA, there is no split in the military, hardline authoritarianism rules, and soldiers seem prepared to shoot and kill if when ordered. Already there’s been some bloodshed but thank God not too much, not like Tienanmen, not when the world is watching, thanks to the internet and Tehran’s brave bloggers and tweeters.
For the latest news, check out Huffington Post where Nico Pitney is live-blogging the uprising. Ang daming nangyayari. The street protests continue, the Ayatollah will again address the nation on friday, and opposition leader Mousavi threatens national strikes.
5:03 AM ET — Khamenei to deliver another address on Friday. That news comes via a very reliable Iranian on Twitter, who cites Iran’s state television. The same Twitter user also wrote earlier today about apparent plans for a broad strike being organized by reformists:
Soon Mousavi will announce full national strikes, probably starting with Petrochemical – prepare for this… Expect food shortage – transport stoppage – money shortage in bank… Gov will respond with electric power cuts – prepare and have gas cylinders at home or gasoline for light/cooking… People of Iran – THIS IS THE DAWN – This is the new begining – have hope and prepare.
Biglang, uy, national strikes, just like Cory’s civil disobedience campaign that paved the way for EDSA. I wonder, will it get to that, or will the Ayatollah blink and bend some to prevent the crisis from worsening. whichever way it goes, nakaka-tense na nakaka-thrill, watching history in the making. Again, naunahan lang ako ni Reynz.
… I cannot contain my apprehensive excitement, I have been glued to the monitor on my computer scanning every available news coming from Iran. Sometimes it makes me wonder if what’s going on in Iran is a prelude to what’s going to happen come 2010 Presidential Elections in the Philippines.
What’s going on in Iran is certainly worth watching and learning from, so we know what our options are in 2010, in case there’s a failure of elections. Maghanda tayo. At humanda sila!

Tutuong nakaka-excite, hindi mo mahulaan ang susunod na mangyayari, Kung mababago ba ang simpatya ni Khamenei, kung magmamatigas ba si Ahmadinejad, kung madadagdagan ba ang mga casualties. Bilang Pinoy, nakakarelate tayo, pero mahirap mag-jump into conclusion. Wait and watch na lang.
here’s the latest:
“Clerical leaders are also said to be considering forcing the resignation of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad following over a week of unrest since he was elected in what senior opposition leaders claim was a fraudulent election”
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/20090622/iran-cleric-rafsanjani-khamenei-ahmadinejad.htm
hey roni
hmm, parang i can’t see ahmadinejad resigning. at most he might settle for new elections, and maybe this time the opposition will be allowed to make bantay their votes like we did back in the snap elections 86.
hmmm, interesting.
Hello Mam Angela! Maki maam narin ako at maki Welcome na lang sa Veteran ng 1986 Bantay Ballot Snap election. Parang kailan lang ano? 24 years later… ewan ko kung mababantayan pa ba ang balota kung electronics na ang gamit.
Hi Stuart,
First, I’m really excited to see you here in Barrio Siete. I’m sure, we’d be learning a lot from you and of course, it’s a privilege for us to have you here.
Naniniwala ako na indeed this was supposed to be their EDSA moments, kundi lang sa Ayatollah Khameini and sya tong killjoy sa mga Iranians.
Iran is an Islamic regime and we have to remember na creation eto ni Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, remember him?
Eh, eto namang si KHAMEINI (lecheng mga pangalan oo!) I have no clue kung bakit sipsip masyado to ki Ahmadinejad, eh “divine assessment” chorva daw yong election, meaning all Iranians have to respect the result.
Eh nung indi pinakinggan mas lalong naging hardline ang leche! Kaya ayan, meron na namang chorva ang lolo nyo this Friday. Tipo bang dahil sinabi nyang “divine assessment” ang results nang election eh legitimate na yon.
So ang kestyon ngayon becomes, saan ba nang-gagaling ang legitimacy? Sa divine assessment or popular support.
Obviously, me alam ang mga masa nang Iranians na they were duped and or fooled kaya SILA actually ang magbibigay nang legitimacy sa results nang election at na-echa-pwera ang Ayatollah.
Ang hula ko nito, bakbakan to dahil indi papayag ang Ayatollah na hindi sya pakinggan. WAKEET? Dahil Islamic Republic ang Iran at ang me final say eh ang Ayatollah.
Madugong EDSA to.
hey reynz
happy to be part of barrio siete, finally. ang tagal ko bumuwelo, ‘no? but this iran drama that you started blogging on, good for you, is truly worth following. at nakakaloka talaga itong si khameini, para siyang diyos, kanang (kaliwang?) kamay ni allah. and because walang separation of church and state sa iran, the supreme ruler’s word is law. ironic that in edsa 86 when cardinal sin called the people out to the streets to shield the military reformists from marcos’ military might, eh parang no separation din of church and state ang nangyari, though very briefly, but omg what a successful revolution it made — at least in terms of ousting marcos. the problem in iran is that khameini is on the side of ahmadinejad pa rin… so talaga, nakakaintriga, anong relasyon nila, para bang relasyon ni enrile at honasan, like father-son? hehe, just guessing. i’m sure it’s more political than anything. it seems that ahmadinejad is truly popular among the poor because of his pro-poor policies, and the opposition and the protesters, are all for american-style privatization ek ek. mabigat, masalimuot, and yes, madugo.
lovers kaya? madami nyan dito.
@angela,
INDEED!
As i watched the events unfold in Iran, yan nga ang ini-isip ko – as in – ano ang pinagkaiba nang Ayatollah ki Cardinal Sin, well, there is a big difference.
Si Ayatollah insists na ang legitimacy comes from divine chorva and we know na hindi tanggap nang mga Iranians.
Si Cardinal insists na ang legitimacy come from popular support.
Kung si Ayatollah eh pinakinggan ang mga followers nya, am sure lalakas pang lalo ang Islamic Govt nila…
@kung me mga maligno uling boboto sa 2010 election sa pinas? leche lang nila! hmpt!
Excited at the same time scary ang events sa Iran.
I’m sure mas gugulo pa ito in the coming days. Mukhang walang susuko eh, parehong matatapang at powerful ang nasa power at ang mga tao. Global intervention na ang kailangan.
Oo nga pala, so happy and overwhelming to see you here A. Stuart-Santiago. A writer of your caliber makes Barrio Siete more credible and exciting. Welcome and Mabuhay to you!
WOW si mam stuart nandito sa barrio? i read some of her posts dati kaya lang nawili nako magtambay sa palasyo dina ko makasilip sa ibang site lalo pa ngayon permanent tambay na ng barrio hahaha.
Shes one of the intellectuals (hindi peke ha, tunay to hahaha)
hey mel beckham
hey lee 
salamat, salamat! mabuhay din ang barrio siete!!!
The Supreme Ayatollah has spoken.
Will they listen?
This is interesting.
hey darbs,
obviously, the people were no longer listening to the Ayatollah and he is supposed to be the top ek ek leader.
saan ka naman non, he spoke na divine assessment yong election, meaning dahil divine sya, tanggapin na lang nang mga Iranians.
obviously di masikmura nang mga Iranians. kaya kestyon of the day: divine assessment nga ba ang magbibigay nang legitimacy sa gobyerno ni ahmadinejad or ang mga to? kaya ayan… gulo ever
You are right reynz. pero habang ang mga pulis at militar at ang kanilang mga tongreso ay nakikinig sa Ayatollah
Soon makinig na rin sa shoot to kill order doon sa demonstrators then… so help them…
Kung sobra na ang init at di parin mapigil ang demonstrators then… Either they have to let go Ahmadinejad and install the new.
Tapos.
End of the story.
Reynz, dagdag ko lang sa “divine voice” – i read it’s part of their Constitution, having Khomeini as the Supreme Leader and the ambassador of the Divine of the Islamic Republic of Iraq. So whatever he decides has a Divine imprint, and Iranians had a mandate on this through their Constitution. The problem is – sobrang halata naman yata ang dayaan na hindi na kapani-paniwala na may divine echo pa ang desisyon ni Manoy.
i did not read their constitution but i believe you – dahil nga their Islamic Government is a marriage of the state and their religion. pero higher level and religion nila sa governing body.
kaya gaya nang sinabi mo, pag sinabi nang Supreme Ayatollah na green is actually black, pwes black sya dahil divine daw.
i am learning a lot about Iran and their government sa events na to. eto ako, nakapako pa rin sa mga news na to hahaha
Hello Angela (Angela ba or Stewart – confused a bit..
) and welcome! I know exactly what you’re feeling. Ganyan din ang feeling ko during the People Power at Edsa. Kasi, I was very active sa mga rallies before I came here. I was angered by the assasination of Benigno Aquino.
Nanghihinayang nga ako dahil nandito na kami ng magtagumpay ang People Power and I wish I had been a part of it. But sure enough, watching it on TV was so thrilling as the news changes every minute of the day.
hey chuva
thanks, and angela it is. stuart is my maiden name pero i’m todo pinay — ang lolo ng lolo ng lolo ng lolo ko was a scot schoolteacher who came with the british forces in the 1700s ba yon, fell in love with a cavitenya and never left — yun nga lang, matangos ilong ko, hehe.
ako rin, nakikipag-rally nuong panahon after ninoy’s assassination, na talaga namang iniyakan ko, awang-awa ako sa bayan natin.
Kapanahunan na ang ka demonyohan at greed ay na expose.
Pero wala akong say tungkol sa Edsa1 at sa eleksyon na un dahil BOYCOT po ang panawagan. BOYCOT PO SA BULOK NA ELEKSYON.
When EDSA happened, I felt so alienated because deep in my heart it was just the same.
The same system…
ay eywan basta ako my heart belongs to lowlo macoy pa rin bwahahaha mabuhay ang mga kumakain ng pakbet at diningdeng
kasama na ang pinapaitan. na ang pagpapait na pinapait ay galing doon sa sekretong pinanggalinga. ang ingredients ng mga ilokanong magpapait. nga puerti giong paita kung malaman nila.
@darbs, yun ang tunay at original na papaitan yun ang gamit talaga hahaha
@lee, it is our secret ingredients. please don’t tell anybody. kumbaga, sa mga cook kasi sa atin ako ung sakristan nila. taga-igib ng tubig, taga kuha ng kahoy, in other words errand boy. So I know the secret and I know that I have to keep that secret.
I terribly missed the taste of the REAL ILOKANO PINAPAITAN.
I could cook pinapaitan here but not as good as the Ilokano Barrio Siete cooking. THAT IS WHAT I MISSED! the real PINAPAITAN!
@darbs, apdo lang kasi ang gamit namin pag nagluto, means hindi original lol, wala kasing orig na lahok na mabibili sa barrio namin e, minsan punta ko ng ilokos dun ako mamalengke ng pang papaitan(napakamahal na papaitan nyan pre, ang mahal ng pamasahe)
@lee, same here apdo lang din na mabibili sa Filipino Barrio Sieti Store. Pero iba talaga pag adda iti original nga ingredient. nagimas iti lasa, kasing imas ni balasang. bwahahaha!
“apdo lang kasi ang gamit namin pag nagluto”
Langya, AAAPPDOO laang?
darbs, sabi ng tatay ni Dragon Warrior – “there’s no secret ingredient,” Secret ingredient ka dyan…
@dfish, secret dun sa iba hahaha aderways dina sila kakain ng orig na papaitan pag nalaman nila yung orig na gamit pampapait (hindi yung apdo)
darbs at may kasing imas ka pa ni balasang. Sino yung balasang na yun bwahahaha?
Lee, paki-connect ulit ang papaitan at Iran please…
@dfish, you mean ang koneksyon ng iran sa papaitan?
hoooouyyyy Iran, nasan na ba tong batang to Iraaaaaaan, ayan kan aya? ajay niluluto nga papaitan nasunog na tingnan mo munat busy ako dito sa batalan…
Hahahahaha. Winner, winner, winner sa audience impact (50%) at relevance (50%) klap! klap! klap!
@dfish, (bow) salamat salamat kala ko pa naman walang relevance at babagsak ako sa thesis na binigay mo prof dfish— anu pong grade ko sir?
sandali lang at hindi pa ako naka-recover sa thesis defense mo hahaha…patawad po mam angela…
Ampotek!
Ang galing ng explanayshun ni Lee about the connection ng Iran at Papaitan.
Hayuufff ang depinisyon! Hahahaha….
hanuba, ginugutom nyo akow!
hahaha oks lang, dFish
naalala ko nga si macoy, at ang mga kuwento ni imee na he preferred ilocano cuisine to steaks and other sosyal stuff. na he didn’t mind eating left-overs of pakbet dinengdeng pinapaitan, nagagalit pa nga pag hindi itinatabi para sa kanyang next meal…
@ darbs: oo nga buti pinaalala mo na may mga nagboykot ng snap election. tama rin naman kayo in the sense na in the long run wala ring nabago sa sistema post-edsa.
It is indeed their EDSA moment.
Welcome po dito sa Barrio Siete, Madam Angela!
mam sana po dalasan nyo tambay at post dito sa barrio
hey silver
hey lee 
touched naman ako by the warm warm welcome to barrio siete. i must say, naiiba ang vibes dito sa inyo, parang pinoy community talaga!
Hahah…Salamat po. Enjoy nyo lang ang stay nyo dito.
Teka ngat asan ba si Lee at busy na naman sa batalan. Hahaha.
Lee parekoy,
Ready na ba ang papaitan dyan? Tapos na ang bbq dito sa pentium 3 PC ko. Ilalabas ko na ang alak. Haha.
@mam angela, tengkyu po mam sana mawili kayo dito.
@silver, nasunog na pre kaya ako natagalan di na papaitan to— papa-nognog na e sunog na e
Wag mong sunugin ang papaitan parekoy. Baka uleng at abo na lang maabutan natin.
ok lang yan pre talo talo na di naman ako maselan kumakain ako kahit uling, madalas nga akong pakainin ng alikabok dun sa kavilang vangir na varrio e sunog na papaitan diko makain.
Ay oo nga parekoy.
Pinapakain tayo ng alikabok nina Bert at Renata Pacifica Falayfay.
It’s really not surprising that the first impulse of any tyrannical regime is to suppress expressions of dissent. But even before that suppression there already has been an underlying discouragement of the seeking of knowledge.
Even looking back to the chapters of Genesis in our own Holy Bible, Adam and Eve were strongly discouraged to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. And when they did — and discovered their nakedness as a result of that — they were shown to have lost their innocense and therefore evicted from Paradise.
That concept of Knowledge = Evil has been so deeply ingrained into the psyche of humanity that to this day we perceive knowledge as something that would necessarily lead us to sin.
In a theocratic society, suppression of free inquiry is on of the key pillars of the power exercised by men like the Ayatollahs and mullahs of Iran. The more ignorant the flock, the greater the power of the “shepherds”.
As I mentioned a while back:
If we truly admire what Iran is going through today, we should step back and reflect on our own approach to dealing with ideas that run contrary to ours.
pwedeng paki tagalog? kahit ilokano pede—
hey benigz, fancy meeting you here
paki-tagalog daw. oo nga. or simpler english? medyo beyond me some of your comment, but this i get:
‘The more ignorant the flock, the greater the power of the “shepherds”.’ and this:
‘Some of the reasons that people make the kind of decisions they do and view the world in a certain way is because of a lack of information aggravated by people and institutions that discourage exploration.’
both in the theocracy that is iran, and in the democracy that is the philippines, LACK OF INFORMATION is a fundamental problem. but it’s more excusable in iran than in the philippines where there is separation of church and state and we’re supposed to have freedom of expression AND access to information, which we don’t really.
salamat mam angela, mahirap talaga intindihin ang inglisirs ng mga intellectual hahaha sensya na po, kaya nga yung iba nating kababaryo kagaya ni kapitana at ni mam cat e talagang binababawan lang ang inglish nila…

Hahahhaa…
My preccciiiioooouuussss….
In tagalog: May preysyus.
@benigno,
parang dis-agree ako seyo here in so far as Iran is concerned. however, as a general rule, oo yong mga tyrannical regime eh talagang papastahan bunganga nang masa:
i’m focusing more on suppression of dissent in Iran dahil tipong wala eh. they were allowed to demonstrate and express their anger kahit na bawal. if the masses are sorta being discourage to seek more knowledge if because of the fact na Islamic ang government nila. A hybrid of religion and the state. However, mas nakaka-antas ang religion dahil once na ETO ang sinabi nang AYATOLLAH, ETO ang paniwalaan mo THEREFORE, there shall be no more seeking knowledge.
That’s what i am getting from all these happenings.
@benigno,
tama naman ang sinabi mo – to a certain extent, if the establishment programmed you to think a certain way, you will think a certain way. or that you will think a certain way dahil yong lang ang info avail – but not to the inteligent being and we are seeing na Iranians are like that – one thing though that happened in Iran was that people were not thinking the way the Ayatollah wanted them to think. They have now embraced Twitter technology and learned some more and the more encouraged to ask and be englighted.
on a personal note: i don’t care kung ang ideas mo run contrary to me or to us, you are still entitled to yours and i don’t care how many times you’ve insulted me and or us in the past, that too i don’t care, to me it’s all about exchanges of ideas and opinions
back to iran note: i have a different appreciation of what is going on in iran. i will let you know on my next entry and pramis, i will mention you.
Bwahahahaha. Kakaisip ko lang aktwali kung sino pede ka labteam mo Lee (Bloop flashed in my kokote hahaha). Yun pala, ang archnemesis ni Blooop bwahahaha.
Dfish,
mas masaya yun. pinagaagawan nila si Lee. Haha.
Anong say mo parekoy Lee?

Hohohohoho….
English from hell…
Apir tayo dyan parekoy.
@Dfish, bat pinagsiksikan mo yang manok mo, sabi nang nag-iisang ikaw lang ung ke lee, di nyu ba nakuha kuha ito? as a reminder pakibasa na lang uli ang pagmamahal ng isang nilalang. here is the link.

@darbs, bilib ako sa memory power mo
Mamya, pagising ni Kapitana, at bago ma-settle ang kaguluhan sa Iran, ipa-settle natin tong lab isyu na to bwahahaha…
@dfish, mahirap pre–
di papayag ang kamahalan na
mahaluan dito sa barrio ng lab-team na
isang praning at isang allien—
Can anybody stop the pag-ibig na syang pumukaw sa kanilang puso’t kaluluwa? May makapag stop ba kung magka inlaban ng tunay na tunay sina Alien at si Predator?
ano pa ba ang i-settle kung mismo ang binibining dilag na mismo ang kusang nanligaw sa kanyang puppy love. mapipigil mo pa ba kung sya na mismo ang nag Dare to Speak Out?
@darbs nyahaha allien at predator bagay na bagay, ako ba yung predator? wala na bang mas maganda ng konti?
@darbs nyahaha allien at predator bagay na bagay, ako ba yung predator? wala na bang mas maganda ng konti?
@lee, I did not think about that.
I hope this will not become a sex symbol issue. Correct me if I am wrong. Akala ko ba ang Alien lalaki at ang Predator lalaki.
Puedi din naman sigurong babae ang Predator di ba?
Kung kagandahan ang hinihingi mo ano kaya kung gawa tayo ng bagong character.
Here is the beauty: Miss UNIVERSE! and Mr. Universe.
Anak ng pateng..napraneng na nga si Lee.
Parekoy, hold on! Nag-tototal eclipse of the heart ka na kay puppy mo!
@silver, ganun yata talaga ang in-lab pre—
praning— biro mo mainlab sa isang puppy este allien na taga korokan.
@silver, pare pag si may-lab ay nandito dawn is da neym— remember pag nandito lang naman si lab palalab dawn is my name para naman di alangan sa kanya medyo isteytsayd ang dating
Dawn?

@dfish, bastos ka lakay ha, anung malikot ang kamay at utak hahahaha ako pala bastos ang utak hahaha
Hey, Mr. “bloop”, I do recall this little gem of yours:
I’m still waiting for that “thunder and lightning” of your “Holy wrath”, dude.
Sigh.
There is nothing sadder to behold than the sight of someone desperately scrounging for relevance within his own “turf”.
Stidi ka lang dyan, Mr. Argumentation Policeman.
And by the way, I think Angela is smart enough to decide who around here is the true “taratitat“, right Angela? Nice seeing you here too, ma’am. And yes I agree, medyo mahirap ang sobrang pag-iinggles dito. Then again I wouldn’t be my usual irresistible self if I changed my style on account of my readers, right?
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
First time mo akong napatawa Benigno!
you can always write english using phrases and terms na nage-gets nang mga tiga barrio and i could see that it is a challenge even to some college grads!
And of course! you lose your originality and your feeling intellectual benigno if you speek tagalog – but why is it nga that you prefer to use phrases na mahirap intindihin?
is this some form of suppression of dissent on your part para the readers or your underlying discouragement of the seeking of knowledge by blog readers so theyd automatically think that what you’re saying is right? and therefore you are intellectual?
Ewan, Mr. reynz, sometimes complex concepts require complex sentences to articulate.
Pero marunong naman ako managalog e. In fact I once wrote a poem in Tagalgo. Check it out here.
Hey, I’m adding links here with due respect, ok? Just wanted to conserve a bit of Barrio Siete’s bandwidth and perhaps spare the attention of people who prefer to hit the “Ignore” button instead (but then fail miserably).
fair enough benigno – am not asking you to change at all – that’s your style.
First rule in writing school, write to be understood. Ito ang ultimate goal ng isang writer diba?
I agree with Mahalia.
Heck, I can even consider that one as part of a writer’s creed.
@mahalia,
sa profession ko, sa inaraw-araw na ginawa nang dyos – parating Excel spreadsheets ang kaharap ko.
ang sabi ko parati sa mga staff ko – if you prepare a schedule or a spreadsheet that you are the only one who can understand – then you’re not an effective accountant dahil for the sake of 3rd party readers kami. yon ang aming audience.
in writing ganun den. i’m not a writer. dakdakera lang ako. hahaha pero naniniwala ako na if you start writing way too verbose, tipo bang tinatago mo ang opinion mo sa takot na baka mali ang masabi mo hahaha
then again me mga writers na abstract at it’s like a game or puzzle at hahanapin mo pa kung ano ang sinasabi
i guess to each his own kung saan mo mahanap ang effectivity nang writings mo dahil mahirap naman yong sinulat mo, taz ikaw lang ang papalakpak hihihihi
naku patay na, ilalabas na ni Bluep ang kanyang agimat. Pati ako ni-turn niyang Medusa noon kaya noong naging fifol ulit ako, I realized na ang powers ni Bluep.
Seriously, well nothing really serious about this comment. I just laud the power puff rangers here in BS for letting everyone have their say.
In fact, that’s what makes this blog collective addictive, dahil you have to sift through the trivial, the deep, the angst and the occasional Benigz.
Mr. reynz
I don’t know exactly what part of what I said you are disagreeing with because it seems from what you say above, we are in agreement on many points.
Perhaps you interpret what I say as the mullahs suppressing knowledge, whereas what you say is slightly different in observing that what comes out of the mouths of these mullahs has always traditionally been revered and as such has the effect of not developing an ethic of exploring alternative knowledge or challenging traditionally-held beliefs amongst the people they rule.
Fair enough.
Although recall that I did say earlier:
Kung baga, the modern-day ayatollahs and mullahs of Iran merely capitalise on a centuries old power exerted over people by organised religion.
i go back in time that Rohula KHOMEINI ( i hope i got that right leche oo) created this Islamic Government and it was a marraige of the State and Religion. They’re not elected (Ayatollahs) but they have the LAST WORD.
so, we probably are singing the same tune to a different level but i believe that “supression of dissent” is not the 1st order of reasons in a whole lot of reasons going on. i believe kaya they (Ahmadinejad) shut down the phone systems and internet connections was not because of suppresion of dissent per se but rather me ginawa talaga sigurong kalokohan ang establishment to manipulate the results at ang Ayatollah was making pilit to the people of Iran na legitimate ang nangyari
yet… we are still from the outside looking in
According to the morning National Public Radio News Edition there are at least 17 Iranians killed.
wow, ako rin nakikinig ng NPR News…:)
@Mahalia, 24/7 ang NPR ko. hehehe.
LINK PLEASE!
additional info. aten aten lang tu… turn off lang pala yan pag mag-umpisa nang manghingi ng donasyon. napakawalanghiya ko talaga ano? hahaha!
nakikinig rin ba kayo nung the Car Show at Wait Wait Don’t tell me?
@Reynz, i donate mo na kasi yung lumang kotse mo, pwede sa Tax deduction, tapos bili ka ng Chrysler, Fiat bought na ba sila?
@Darbs, na tempt ako nung minsan tumawag sa donation board, tanungin kung tatanggap sila ng Homemade strawberry jam donation. Hehehehe
@Reynz Radio ang pinapakinggan ko as in Transistor radio. hehehe.
here is the link:

heto ung discussion ngayon:

@reynz may link akong ibinigay pero awaiting moderation.
many thanks Darbs! favorited ko na sya!
Darbs, daming transistor dito sa goodwill, if yours breaks down, sabihin mo lang. Hihihi.
Ang nakakalungkot lang ay di na ako maka-hanap ng cassette player. Di ko tuloy mapakinggan yung na-unkat kong How to light a Man’s fire mula sa baul. Not that my husband’s fire is embers na.
@reynz, you are welcome. parang i-sworn in na ata si ahmadinejad at parang walang mangyaring recount. this is getting interesting.
And the new call in the street is death to the Supreme leader!
holy cow!
Madugo ito!
this is one big test of the Islamic government. i am still very very much glued Darbs. I really think na something will come out good on this one.
i mean – I HOPE.
Nung sinipa nila ang Diktadorang Shah of Iran at ininstall ung Islamic Government na medieval ang pag-iisip at the same time open sila sa society in terms of information technology, then this is what you get.
@Reynz, ito ang example na mga parusa na alam natin.

What if kung nandoon ka talaga nakatira?
kailangan ko na ata magbasa ng news about dito. di ko kase pinapansin e, wapakels. wahaha
Hi Angela,
magandang comparison, at least we can feel the throbbing hearts of Iranians waiting for freedom dahil mismo sa ating bansa naranasan din natin ito. Even from the comments given, they saw Edsa 1 and 2 face to face. Sadly, grade 6 lang ako ng Edsa 1.
Although bata pa ang ilan sa atin noong people power, we can still remember images of that fated street revolution. Mga larawan sa ating subconcious na entitles us to feel we are part of one of the greatest events of Philippine History.
WAAA!
~a-wan~
~a-tu~
HUWAAA!!!
OTSENTA OTSO NA AKO?!
*hikbi*
hahahaha! parang ang feeling ko 200 na ang edad ko, kung si Mahalia grade six palang nong Edsa 1.
Feeling lolo na tuloy ako. hehehe. anak ng. puedi ba hindi na natin pag-usapan ang edad dito.
AGE DISCRIMINATION ata yang ginagawa ninyo. *hikbi* second demotion.
Grade 6 lang ba tayo noong Edsa 1 Bluep? Mahina kasi ako sa Math. I even forget my age. Pramis. So, if my statement is wrong, which Bluep will correct I’m sure, then my statement on Grade six can be metaphorical slash theoretical slash prose and poetry.
LOL.
Kung ganoon pala eh, grade 2 pa lang ako nung Edsa 2 pero ung pag-iisip ko medyo may katandaan na dahil ako po ay Child Labor sa aming barrio siete. bwahahaha!
ayan darbs, mas pinabata pa, Grade 2 pala! wohoo!
@Mahalia, ouch! mas malala nga. at ang sakit sa teynga. sobra naman kayo kung magsalita.
*hands papaya soap.
magandang pampabata ito.

wag kang ganyan! eh ako?! nililigawan pa lang nang tatay ko ang nanay ko nun ah! nai-kwento lang nila saken tong 1986 review of history hehehe
1 year old lang ako nung Edsa 1. hehehe
@Silver kung ganoon eh di nasa bay*g pa pala ako ng tatay nung Edsa 1.
Darbs,
Baka sapaken ka lang ng tatay mo pag nabasa nya yang comment mo. Hahahhaha…
@Silver, hahaha!
On the other hand, noong kapanahunan puedi nyang masapok at mapaluhod doon sa altar naming puno ng kung ano anong santo kristos, rebultos at pictures ni pope, pero hindi na uso ngayon ang corporal punishment baka ma social services pa sya at may kasamang posas at bilangguan ang distinasyon – - child abuse ang tawag nyan.

Barrio Siete: COMMON GROUND or BATTLE GROUND?
Hanggang kelan tayo mag-iinsultuhan dito? Tanong ko lang.
LOVE CONSTIPATION ang mga nababasa mo roni at hindi insultuhan hehehe
You mean to say ung palitan ni bloop at benign0? Naah! Don’t mind those guys. In real life matalik na magkaibigan un sila. Drama lang un. Look at their exchange as Telenovela or Soap Opera.
Pag puro na lang kasi nagkakaintindihan lahat parang boring ung usapan.
If anybody could not handle ung exchange of “whatever” nila just ignore.
Charged to culture mo na lang.
And of course sa Soap Opera may mga supporting actresses and actors.
comprende!
pakiramdam ko kasi para lang mga arabo na nagtatagalog, mas fiery, mas bungga, hahaha!
consider this:
“An empty vessel makes a loud sound”
@Roni, hahahaha! that is funny.
Well, punong puno ba ng ingay? At least napalabas mo rin ang iyong observation.
Never heard that for long time.
I will not deny, I might be guilty too pero ang problema is I found it amusing and enjoyable.
hahaha!
@roni, yan ang tinatawag na battle of the brain, ako lang naman ang brainless dito kaya wala akong maisagot lalo pat gagamitan ng inglishers from hell, kainis hahaha
Sorry to burst your bubble and the time you spent writing your long speech Mr. Argumentation Policeman, but it seems the above snippet is the big assumption that you build your whole argument upon.
So I ask you this simple question:
What makes you think I am into this to “get along” with anyone?
Cite specific examples, plez.
That’s the reason why you think I am not “winning” any arguments against you. It’s because you don’t even know the lanscape of what is being discussed to begin with.
Furthermore, Mr. “bloop”, I think discussing the internal affairs/discussion of your council here (which presumably is behind closed doors) is a bit tacky.
Sabi mo dati, “secret” ang rules, di ba?
The fact remains, you continue to allow me to hang around regardless of who voted for what.
Stidi ka lang dyan.
Bluep and Mahalia!! Hahahaha! Anovey?! Talaga bang Grade 2 kayo nun… OhEmGee!! Parang ang shonda ko na…
@ lee – -nasan na ba yung sungka.. ilabas na!
@chuva, eto yung sungkaan bitbit ko gusto kong ihambalos sa inis dahil ako lang yata ang dalaga na nung Edsa1 hahahaha
@chuva, yes grade two dahil nalungkot ako at half day lang, di ko natitigan ang first and ever crush ko maghapon.
Mr “bloop”,
Guess again, dude.
I think most people have worked it out by now that I am not on the Net to make friends. I am here to present my ideas whether they sound pretty or not.
In fact all my views are articulated in GetRealPhilippines.com which has a section where I described my proposed solution framework that encompasses most of the issues that contribute to the chronic dysfunction and continued failure-to-launch of Pinoy society. I cited these references to you in your Taratitat article in this and that comment; the latter one addressing directly your quaint but sadly uninformed challenge in that article:
As of this writing, all you respond with are a couple of quaint pictures and a couple of YouTube links to which the only reaction of consequence comes from Mr. reynz here…
… and a few similar ones that followed suit.
So if you are under sort of illusion that you and I are in the middle of some kind of “argument”, Mr. Argumentation Policeman, you might want to reflect a bit on your argumentation style (if you can even call said style “argumentation”).
Call me literal but you don’t really have to mention how you are all…
… because just about every comment here is peppered by the text string “hahaha” which I find quaintly amusing. All comes across to me as kind of like a nervous laugh, I must say.
The fact is, Mr. Argumentation Policeman, laughing is easy.
Even morons can laugh. And certainly any moron can post pictures of mythological creatures on the Web in the absence of anything of substance to say. (Saan na nga ba yung mga images na yan? It seems they were removed…)
But what separates the men from the boys is the ability to comprehend, articulate, and focus on the underlying point (something that you, Mr. “bloop” actually think you do well) of what is being discussed.
And by the way, as to your observation here:
Are you sure of that, Mr. Argumentation Policeman?
Stidi ka lang dyan, dude.
You don’t even know what you are talking about here:
Maybe you ought to re-visit the original assertion on the subject I made here:
So what part of it do I say that Galileo’s “theory” was a “dogma of faith”, Mr. Argumentation Policeman?
Careful careful…

@benign0 my lab napatawa mo ko ng husto dito hahahahahaha, lalo akong naiinlab seyo nyahahaha
@bluep, eto sungkaan hambalusin mo na lang si my presssssiiiouuusss ko hahaha
Mr. “bloop”
I posted a response to you but it seems to be under moderation.
But fear not, as I’ve uploaded a copy at the following site for you to check out while Cool and the Gang are deciding to approve it or not:
http://www.getrealphilippines.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=170
Approve if you dare…
@benigno,
you know better than that – that if you put a lot of links on your comment that it will be under moderation. i don’t why i am explaining this to you when you’re supposed to be all-knowing. but i have just approved it. in fact it was no under moderation. it was under spam.
ok – looked like you posted it twice… [deleting]…
Thanks boss. Pasensya na…
@bluep, di lang dimwit, cheap pa raw hahahaha
Mr. reynz, just in response to what you wrote here;
I will respectfully insist that I did NOT insult anyone here in the past (at least not in the way some people arbitrarily call people “engot”
without any clear basis). Having said that I will apologise for any insult you or anyone here perceive in what I wrote in the past (or maybe even again in the future).
But then seeing above that it is all water under the bridge to you, I accept what you say above with thanks.
Look forward to it, dude.
Just wanted to add further in relation to what you say here:
I think to a large extent, that’s what a lot of religions are struggling with nowadays. It is evident in small things such as good Catholics knowing well enough to use contraceptives (even if they are banned by the Church) to the big ones like the ones we are seeing in Iran today.
As people’s resolve to think more and and follow blindly less, the power of dogma diminishes.
See what did I tell you guys?
Niloko lang nila tayo.
Akala NINYO may dugo nang dadanak HA?
Akala nyu talagang ubusan na ng lahi?
Pero tingnan nyu sa huli!
Tingnan nyu nagkaintindihan din sila at nagtatawanan pa!
YAN SILA ANG TUNAY NA BARKADA!
MAG simula noong -HIGH SCHOOL pa, KABARKADA!
Pag tatanda yan sila ang tawag is PADRINO AT PADRINA.
BWAHAHAHAHA!
@darbs, hanggat narito ako walang pwedeng manakit sa lab ko, since palagi ako wala saktan nyo na ng saktan nyahahaha
@lee, walang manakit dahil ang lahat ay nagmamahalan.
Alam mo ba ang tawag doon sa mga nananakit at pumapaslang at nam-bobomba?
Tawag sa kanila mga TERORISTA.
Sa pagkaka-alam ko ang U.S. Military Policy pag terrorist, “shoot to kill” ata ang hatol kung di mapuruhan at ma save by the bell, bitay lang naman or imprisonment doon sa malayong lugar.
@darbs, katakot ka naman— matatakutin pa naman ako
