The Blueberry muffins... of doom!.

BOOO!!!

Next week marks the festivity of I don't even care what in the world are celebrating it in the first place: The Halloween. Many kids are going outside of their houses with their cute (but sometimes weird) costumes to receives candies from each of the houses after they shout the infamous phrase known as "TRICK OR TREAT!" And like other festivities, It also has some symbols that may reminds us that it is Halloween.


Halloween is not complete without any single trace of Jack-o-lanterns...

(Oh look! it's Mickey Mouse!)

...and Skeletons and Scarecrows

.

And like Christmas. Halloween is also celebrated around the world.

Invasion of Marvin the Martian, ARGH!!!!!!!

Nice smile, wait, Is that your teeth really?

The Headless Decapitator. 

but of course, We Filipinos do celebrate this holiday...

Seriously, Every year the Halloween comes, it always gives me a chill. But other people celebrate it like it's Christmas day, so I'll just join in. Happy Halloween People. Mwahahahahaha

It's only words, and words are all I have, to give definition to these pictures away...

Love Letter of doom

Hey, it's almost end of the semester, this blog has been put to good use. From expressing my ideas to unload the crap out of me, this blog made my LRWS complete, and since this is my second-to-the-last post *sniff sniff. Here are some love letters that I like to share with you...


Dear Kris Aquino

I love it, I am enjoying the rest of the year without a single word coming from your mouth. If that silence could a lifetime... until I die.


Dear Merceditas Gutierrez

Four words: Where are you now? Four words again: I miss you now. One line: BLEAGH!!


Dear FMG


I am officially inviting you in a tea party, since that coffie's been expensive as of this moment, a corrupt owner of a casino house has spent 1 billion pesos just for that forsaken coffee.


Dear Pnoy


So far, I liked the way you govern your country. From Cranium Gloria Bashing, The elimination of the corrupted officials, up to the silence of your bratty little sister. Except for one thing: Your cough for god's sake!


Dear Friends,


Something is changing and i know it's all my fault... please bear with me, and please forgive me...



Dear Enemies,


Keep it up, and you will suffer



Dear MAJPG


welcome back to my life!!!

Du contrat social...

Or The Social Contract in english. written by one of the greatest philosopher I ever know, Jean-Jacques Rousseau. and That is where I got one of my favorite quotes...


"Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains."


Philosophically, It means that one of a Person's nature is to be free. but before we even got out of our mother's womb, we are restricted by some force that halt our freedom. Basically, It pertains to the government; There must be equality between the sovereign (read: US.) and the government.


In Layman's term, Yes you are free, but there is law so... why bother?

You have the freedom to drive to the streets of Commonwealth avenue like hell, but there is a 60kph speed limit.

You want to land your fist of anger to your enemy whose mocking you for the longest time, but you cant, aside from that his face will turn into a smashed pumpkin if ever.


You want to be free but as long as there is laws, you cannot act according to your will.


Pardon for my blog, it is short I know.

State Of the Nation Address...

is like the state of the nation address last nine years ago when the great four-feeter (you should who am i talking about.) is speaking at the center of the camara de representantes: He is giving some fact and figures that I don't know if its true or not. But one thing is for sure, the Batasang Pambansa is surely jam-packed not only from the inside but also from the outside.

SONA is like a red-carpet premiere of a famous movie or a Grammy awards night. Imagine, these congressmen spent millions and millions of peso just to have a barong tagalog which is designed not by your ordinary Sastre, but by Rajo Laurel. The question is, from where do they get that kind of money? from their pockets or from OUR pockets?

SONA is like a grand reunion of all the activist here in the Philippines. rallying here, rallying there, rallying everywhere. I guess the Most Valuable Player of these group of angry anti-Noynoy people would be The Hacienda Luisita farmers. All they need is their land to be returned but for no reason or unknown reason rather, The president would not allow.

Enough with the glits and glamours and greases and dirt of the people. Let's focus on the SONA per se.

Fortunately, I obtain myself a copy of his speech and here's the link

http://www.coolbuster.net/2011/07/president-aquino-2011-state-of-nation.html

It's long enough for you to read that the next time you open your eyes, its already nighttime. now in the first place, why do I need to obtain this copy.


well, very simple.


I DIDN'T WATCH HIS SPEECH.


But according to an economist and also one of my idols, Winnie Monsod, and not verbatim "there is something that is missing on his speech." and somehow, I am one of the believers of what she said. Imagine.
He never acknowledge the real situation of our country. He didn't even mention some challenges that came during his administration: the hostage crisis in Quirino Grandstand, the... argh, it so many, i can't put it in my blog. Oh, I forgot how will the palace got to deal the silence of Krissy.

Also, in his speech, there are some words that he used for the Nth time, such as Wang-wang. Yes, the tyranny of those traffic violators using wang-wang is over ( I was amaze by using the street as a great metaphor for our society: On the left side you will see beggar sleeping under the over pass near the commonwealth market, On the right side you will see a rich kid driving fast with his Chevrolet Cruze. on the first lane there's a jeepney driver drivng smoothly for a living. On the other lane comes a Rich Kid racing with other cars and uses his unauthorized "wang-wang" just for him to reach to his destination fast. Die you rich kid.) but boy, you see there are no more "wang-wangs" and if ever, I will personally go down and say to that guy (in tagalog) "boss, bawal na po ang wang-wang ah?" I swear I will do it. come on PNoy, Enough of the wang-wang. It's over. It's okay if you do your Cranium Gloria Bashing. It just puts a big grin to my face.

But come to think of it.

What's SONA got to do with us Filipinos? How can you possibly deliver this speech full of facts and figures to a person who worries about what to eat today and tomorrow? How can a guy like the president of the Philippines be able to explain this to a beggar who sleeps under the overpass in lay man's term?

Well. I guess that it is one of our Filipino Values: and that is being "usisero". You know, we can't start another conversation without having a topic from outside source. but it's another blog for me.


P.S.


I bet to you my fellow citizens next year, It's still the same scenario that we will be seeing, Extravagant clothes of your Congressmen, Rally of these angry anti-noynoy people, etc.

the only difference?


Noynoy will be proud to announce that (in tagalog)

"AKO PO'Y NATUTUWANG IBALITA SA INYO NA KAMI NI SHALANI'Y NAGKABALIKAN NA AT MAGPAPAKASAL NA SA LALONG MADALING PANAHON." (standing ovation.)


PPS.

Noynoy still endures his cough. promise.

Filipino values that must be discussed for the sake of young readers like you.

We are not Filipinos (I capitalized the letter F because im proud of it.) if we don't know any single Filipino value. and as for you, young one, I should discuss to you some of Filipino values that has been existed in our culture.

one of which is Debt of Gratitude or in tagalog UTANG NA LOOB.

I guess that nothing is more painful that some tells you this...

"WALA KANG UTANG NA LOOB!"

this is not your ordinary debt like material debt or more common, monetary debt. take note, in tagalog, it has the word LOOB. in filipino psychology, it is the reflection on how we deal with other people. And, it is the only debt that doesn't need to be paid off.

 We have a big Debt of Gratitude to our parents, because without them, we are not existing in this planet. and most of all,

We have a humongous debt of gratitude to our God, because without him, we are not alive and kicking.

but sometimes, this Debt of gratitude has somehow a negative effect on our society. like this:

--->

Merceditas Gutierrez (the one with a mole on her forehead.) has a very big debt of gratitude on Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (The one with a mole on her cheek.) as a result, Merci does NOT and I mean NOT persecuted GMA, although she made our country as one of the poorest country of them all.

oh no, here we go again, so for the sake of our common good,  enough of this ok? UTANG NA LOOB.

The second one is what we called Resignation, or in lay man's term "Bahala na." yep, you know when we don't know what we're going to do or you are just lazy to do it, you'll just say "Bahala na." On the positive side, it may show that we are putting the fate in god's hands. or we are just free-spirited people and we are putting our life in fate's hands.

It seems to be contrasting to the third and final value that we possess. and that is Hardwork. Being a hardworking person or being "masipag" is widely recognize internationally. That's why every where in the world there are OFW's.


now you might ask, why contrasting? I guess it would be self-explanatory...


Now my fellow youngsters, I guess that one or two of these values are in you, otherwise, aside from you are not speaking are mother language, what in the world are you doing here in our beloved country?
