I want to post this comment by Acidboy lifted from Celdran's blog.
"Hay nako, Carlos. These believers (Anakpawis, etc.) of a dead ideology (communism) live for this kind of fight (rallying or street rallies). That way, they validate their existence, and they get gushes of orgasms when someone acknowledges their pathetic existence. Nobody cares about them anymore. You know why they hate the so-called elitista/capitalista? Its because they thrive on the ignorance of the uneducated and easy to manipulate. Try educating people and empower them economically and you'll see where these cretins will go- back in the mountains like ants on anthills.
In any case, so what's wrong with being part of the upper half of the socio-economic spectrum? So whats wrong with earning and having money? So whats wrong with having one's opinion that runs against others? See what they're doing? They're trying to FORCE their sorry chock-full-of-holes ideas to the minds of people, and they thrash those who run against their wishes- NOW WHO IS THE "ELITIST" THERE? huh? huh?"
I say: AYE!!

So I've been doing some research on our destinations for the holy week, Kuala Lumpur and Angkor, Cambodia. I browsed through my favorite travel sites like Globosapiens and Star Asia Travel to do some notes especially on Kuala Lumpur since we will not be having a tour guide there.
I came across Frommers and read through some very useful facts but I figured out that their standards is pretty high and kinda harsh in their reviews of destinations.
Anyway, out of curiosity, I browsed through http://www.frommers.com/destinations/thephilippines/2416010001.html and I was saddened, infuriated and despaired all at the same time. I didn't know that people from outside the Philippines, especially the said leading travel expert, would view the Philippines as worse as this.
It says in the introduction: "The Philippines has a marketing problem, and, in the wake of recent events, foreign tourism here has dissolved to a trickle. Lacking the mystery of Malaysia or Indonesia; the rugged allure of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia; and the tourist mecca atmosphere that is Thailand, the Philippines have a difficult time convincing travelers that they should actually go. A long history of political and economic instability and recent insurgency movements and terrorism in the southwestern islands further relegates travel to those on business, those connected with an embassy, and those traveling on behalf of a mission or simply there by accident. In this section, we offer some historical and cultural information, a listing of the essentials in Manilla, the capital, and a few of the resort destinations that dot the magnificent coastline of this vast archipelago. Independent rural travel is left to the very hearty, and safety should be one of your primary concerns when making a trip to this troubled land. There is but little infrastructure outside of the larger cities."
It saddened me that foreigners would see this. I have been doing my small share of improving the tourism of the Philippines. It could be as little as not littering to as weird as sending postcards to strangers outside the country telling them to visit the Philippines. Please do your part. Please help preserve our historical sites.

All leeches are carnivorous. They suck blood from other species and only detach when they're filled with blood.Some people are like leaches. They suck the blood out of either their co-workers, friends or even family. They come in forms of free loaders and opportunists.
The ostrich's eyes are bigger than its brain. I know some people who are like that!
The starfish has no brain. I know some people like that too!

An atheist was taking a walk through the woods. "What majestic trees!
What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.
As he continued walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the
Bushes. Turning to look, he saw a 7-foot grizzly charging towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. Looking over his shoulder he
saw that the bear Was closing in on him. His heart was pumping
frantically and he tried to Run even faster. He tripped and fell on
the ground. He rolled over to Pick himself up but saw the bear
raising
his paw to take a swipe at him.
At that instant the atheist cried out: "Oh my God!..."
Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. It was then
That a bright light shone upon the man and a voice came out of the sky
Saying:
"You deny my existence for all of these years, teach others I don't
Exist and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me
to Help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light. "It would be hypocritical
Of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps,
Could you make the BEAR a Christian?"
"Very well," said the voice. The light went out, and the sounds of
the
Forest resumed.
And then the bear lowered his paw, bowed his head and spoke:
"Lord, bless this food which I am about to receive and for which I am
Truly thankful, Amen. "

So finally I've started with a practicum site. It's school setting. Aba e first day palang nagsasawa na ako. Hehehe.
I just realized that I cannot be a guidance counselor. First, I hate kids and I am not friendly. So baka masapak ko ang makukulit na batang iyan. Second, I am not good with counseling and psychotherapy. Medyo technical pero iba siya sa simpleng pagbigay ng advice. I do know how to give advice. And last, I cannot deal with checking dozens of tests manually like what I did in my first day.
In fairness, they trust in the site and leave me alone in the office for several hours. I get to administer the test to applicants alone. Coolness. Hehe.

Wayne wanted desperately to have sex with this really cute, really
hot
girl in his office, but she was married. One day Wayne got so
frustrated that he went to her and said, "I'll give you a $100 if you
let me have sex with you." The girl looked at him, then said, "NO."
Wayne said, "I'll be real fast. I'll throw the money on the floor,
you
bend down, and I'll finish by the time you've picked it up." She
thought for a moment and said that she would consult with her husband,
so she called him and explained the situation. Her husband says, "Ask
him for $200, pick up the money really fast. He won't even be able to
get his pants down." She agreed and accepts the proposal.
Over half an hour goes by and the husband is still waiting for his
wife's call. Finally, after 45 minutes the husband calls and asks what
happened? Still breathing hard, she managed to reply, "The bastard had
all quarters!"

Lintek na mga company yan. Puro tatawag nalang. Hahaha. I just realized how hard it is to find a job.
I'll start with guidance tomorrow. My schedule has become tighter and tighter. May be I'll postpone my trip to the US until sem break.
I hate this. I'm the type of person that do not plan everything. But when I do create a plan, I expect everything to go with it. I do have a plan B if plan A fails. But I get so in to the original plan that I lose concentration if it fails and have difficulty in implementing plan B. This sucks. My flawless time table for summer is being challenged.
What do you think? Should I do the hospital after the school setting? Or the industrial first?

May god, pati Ateneo magtatayo na ng School of Medicine and Public Health. I saw this big tarpaulin as I passed by Oritgas Avenue to finalize my requirements for my practicum in The Medical City.
"In this site will rise the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health." The building is being built beside the Medical City and to open on June 2007. It will also accept applicants this year for a 5-year program leading to dual degree of Doctor of Medicine and Master in Management. Obviously their base hospital will be the Medical City.
Hindi talaga magpapahuli. Nagventure lang Beda sa Medicine and Health Sciences, next thing you know pati La Salle magtatayo na rin I bet. Hmm... Reminded me of the stereotypical envious neighbor, ung tipong pag bumili ka ng bagong t.v, next meron din silang bago.
In fairness, they have the capacity. (I assume). Siyempre through the efforts of the alumni, kaya they can expand easily like an amoeba. It just dawned on me that the San Beda College of Law should have been in The Fort, Taguig now, if only that alumni actually did what he promised. To donate a 5-hectare land there. Tsk tsk. Have any idea sino? Hehe. Bubulong ko sa inyo.

I might go to the states on the 3rd week of March. Just visit and I'll be back on June 1. My schedules pretty tight with these practicums. Can someone offer me a practicum site for Human Resource? Haha. Yung wala nang eche bureche, interview, kung anu-ano, tanggap agad. Haha. They're gonna get help for free, and I'll have a grade. It's a win-win situation.

I hope Melinda Doolittle wins the American Idol this season. Such impeccable vocals. She proved that she DO LOTS. It's time to have an idol that has the talent and is not just lucky. Never had one again since Kelly Clarkson.

Bigla naman ngayon na wala ako magawa after passing all projects and reviewing for exams. So I have this compulsion to post and post here whatever pops into my mind.
Here are some realizations I have or had:
1. I believe that being poor is just a state of mind.
2. I can't seem to figure out who has the crappier life. The rich or the poor? The ugly or the beautiful? Every answer just seem to lead to another question.
3. When you are in heat and horny, you can do unimaginable things which you will be disgusted afterwards.
4. I don't really believe in the fiery hell. But I do believe in heaven. I believe that when we die, we all go to this "place". You will wait there or find there your significant other. If you found him/her, then it's heaven you're in. But I you're still waiting, then you are still in hell.
5. It's harder to gain weight if you're thin (like me, yup, payatot, marami gusto magdonate ng fats kaso hindi pwede) than lose weight if you're fat. I think that being fat is just lack of discipline.
6. There is not better place to live in Southeast Asia than the Philippines particularly Manila.

I hate group mates who are free-loaders or incompetent. Bato bato sa langit, tamaan sapul! Well, there is really no need to have that adrenaline rush if you are not one of them.
It does not mean that my friends will be exempted from my inhumanely high standards. Think about it! Gold will not be purified unless passed through flame. Metal will never be sharp swords unless hammered by the blacksmith. If you meltdown, I'm sorry you can go back to your mom. You can't handle life.

Hmm... So I've been thinking about who to vote for senators in the upcoming elections. Even though the line up of the administration sucks because of lack of popularity, the administration team will still be the majority in my list.
Here is my temporary list:
1. Loren Legarda (Opp)
2. Chiz Escudero (Opp)
3. Sonia Roco (Opp)
4. Joker Arroyo (Admin)
5. Edgardo Angara (Admin)
6. Mike Defensor (Admin)
7. Prospero Pichay (Admin)
8. Juan Miguel Zubiri (Admin)
9. Panfilo Lacson(Opp)
10. Manny Villar(Opp)
11. Tessie Aquino Oreta (Admin)
12.
The order does not reflect my preference. Just popped into my mind. Hmm.. Sino pa ba?

Our once peaceful and quiet avenue outside our village is now crowded and infested with icky Valenzuelan commuters and some smoke belching, tin can cars. Ugghh. Sickening.
We can't do anything since the Tulyahan bridge is being repaired and they can only make a detour passing through the streets of Malabon. If I were to decide, I would just re route all traffic to NLEX.

On practicum
I am still to finalize where I will have my practicum in human resource. I'm such a picky person. Hehe. Gusto ko malapit or madali mag commute. Gusto ko hindi na iinterviewhin. Gusto ko.. Gusto ko.. Haha. I know this is a bad attitude in job hunting.
My mom found out that I have been looking for a company and wants to cheat it by letting me have it in one of her friends company. So I can have a grade but not go even one hour. She said, "uutusan ka lang bumili ng softdrinks." I shrugged it off and declined. Haha. What's the fun with that right? But I have to admit, if I were to use the networking of my parents, looking for a job or practicum site would be as easy as staring at space.
But I want to have the satisfaction or experience of hunting for it by myself and not given.

So here I am still stuck with doing the projects. Ugh. So tiring. 
Anyway, I get to spend my birthday in Seven Corners in Crowne Plaza, Ortigas. I took the advice of Mark, a classmate, and invited some of the closest relatives. Sumptuous and relatively inexpensive. Only 1,300 per person and it's buffet. Not as many foods as Heat and Circles though, but all in all, it was good.
And another update: My laptop seems to be struggling with the viruses that infected it. I installed another anti virus and one anti spyware. I hope it's enough to wipe the viruses out. Damn Norton, ang pangit. Bwisit. I'm stck with them for a year kasi nagparenew pa ako.
I also get to watch the latest from Grey's Anatomy and Bleach.

I was starting to write about my final project for Philosophy of Man and post it here. but I figured out that some people would be "hurt" again. So better not, for the sake of the pusong mamon and balat sibuyas. Whatever that means.
I don't know what are those people doing in this life anyway. They have no business here.

My my it's been a while. Anyway, I'm in this thing... Whatever. Some people call it "The emotional rollercoaster". A lot has happened but still keeping it together.
Paperworks, practicum works, mom pressuring me to go to the states, problem with a close friend and relationship on the rocks. Coupled with major nuisances in school, human and nature wise.
I got to say this is some way to go considering I'm ending my teenage years tonight and be 20 tomorrow. It's only 20 years?? Feels like forever...
What can I say, I'm still strong enough. At least people do not see me meltdown. My god, very not me. I just wonder if my physical body can keep up with my mind. Hmmm....

As the New Year starts, let us look back on the best and worst of 2006. We cheer on the bests and frown at the worst.
Best of Philippine economy: Super Peso!
The Philippine peso made it to a 6-year high and continuously strengthening against the US dollar making it one of the best performing Asian currencies. Financial experts are optimistic it will continue until next year if politics become stable. Now that’s super!
Best of Philippine sports: Tied are boxing sensation Manny Pacquiao and world-pool champion Ronato Alcano, giving pride to the country and inspiration to the people.
Worst of Philippine Sports: Poor performance at the Doha Games
The Philippine team, reigning champions of Southeast Asian Games, failed to deliver a good performance at the Asian Games garnering only 4 golds.
Worst Nursing Issue: Nursing exams leakage
The nursing community was stunned when issues of leakage of the June 2006 nursing board exam were uncovered. It was months before board passers were allowed to take the oath. Moreover, it left a scar at the image of the nursing profession in the country.
Worst Natural Disasters: Milenyo and Reming
Ravaging the east Philippines including Metro Manila, Milenyo and later a more powerful Reming proved to us how Mother Nature can unleash her wrath and brought some provinces to its knees. Electricity is out, infrastructures and crops were destroyed causing millions of pesos of damage. Hundreds were left dead and thousands more, homeless.
Worst Man-made Disaster: Guimaras Oil Spill
Tons of crude oil was spilled into the beaches and mangroves of Guimaras when the oil tanker MT Solar 1 sunk to the sea nearby Guimaras. Thousands were affected especially fishermen who rely on the sea for their livelihood.
Best of San Beda: Ended 28 at 82!
Champion at last! The Red Lions brought an end to the 28-year NCAA basketball title drought at season 82. Hope we will be champs again this year. Way to go!
Best Foreign Show: Grey’s Anatomy
Dr. Merideth Grey and the rest of the surgical interns are still rocking, never losing their touch. Featuring the twists and turns in the love life and social life of the people in the surgical wing of Seattle Grace and interesting medical cases, this hospital drama show will surely glue your eyes to your TV’s.
Best Film: The Devil wears Prada
Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway at their best this year in the silver screen, this movie is nominated three times to the 2007 Golden Globe and won one.
Worst Films: Da Vinci Code
What?? You’re Jesus’ descendant? Well, we are Buddha’s. Come on. Now that’s heretical. This movie is plain boring and misleading, no more. Better read the Bible.
Best OST of movie: Linger in Click
Truly romantic. We haven’t heard from the Cranberries for a while and we forget how great songs are until we heard them again. If you watched the movie and saw the scene of YYY’s wedding where Cranberries’ lead singer YYY singing the song, then you’re up to weeks or even months of last song syndrome singing Linger.
Best Fashion: Skinny jeans were back
Ok, so not really for all. Good for those who fit in them. Admit it; it’s good to see some good old fashion back in the scene.
Worst Fashion: Skirts with leggings
There’s hot Korean chic and there’s Korean no-no. Skirts with leggings are just over the top. For Pete’s sake, turn off that Koreanovela.
Worst Fashion Trend for Males: Wearing polo shirt collar-up
Let us take a moment to pray for these fashion victims. That is so 2005. Get over it!
Best Documentary: An Inconvenient Truth
If we don’t act soon enough, polar ice caps will melt and drown low-lying countries and places. Sounds cliché? This documentary will give you a whole new meaning to global warming. Facts were presented by Al Gore effectively and portray a strong, immediate need to stop global warming.
Best in Philippine shopping: Opening of the Mall of Asia
Shopaholics rejoice at the opening of the biggest mall in the country, the SM Mall of Asia. The new shopping mecca opened May 21 and boasts of the first ever I-Max theater in the Philippines, a director’s club theater and an Olympic size ice skating rink.
Best invention for health care: RI-Man
This robot will soon be an invaluable partner as nursing aides to human health care. The Riken Bio-Mimetic Control Research Center invented RI-Man for the sole purpose of giving better health care to humans by robots. It has hi-tech operating system, thousands of sensors, strong mechanical body but a human friendly interface.
Best Medicine: Gardasil
Gardasil by Merck is the first ever vaccine for cervical cancer and genital warts.
Worst Technology: Sony Laptop Batteries
Issues of laptop batteries from Sony bursting to flames alarmed laptop users and Dell recalled all of the batteries. Talk about safety. Be sure to check your laptop before actually putting it on your lap.
Best Gadget/Console: Sony Playstation 3
Gamers’ heaven. Simply superb. With high definition games and Blu-ray movies, great UI and HDMI output, 60 gb hard drive and Wi-Fi ready, coupled with its sleek design, PS3 is surely the hottest console around.
Best of Philippine politics: Charter Change
Pragmatists won’t like this. At least politicians are now pushing for changes towards development. Badly needed reforms in the economic policies are getting in the way of foreign investments and some other obsolete laws hampering development.
Worst of Philippine politics: Political bickering
Some people just won’t stop rocking the boat and cause only disunity and chaos. Stop misleading the people already into thinking everything the government is doing is bad and stop trying to grab power. Selfish, selfish.
Worst Overused Term: Yuppie
Ok so we know you’re young puppies. Enough already.
Worst Expression: Churva
Another cheap shot expression.
Best of Philippine economy: Super Peso!
The Philippine peso made it to a 6-year high and continuously strengthening against the US dollar making it one of the best performing Asian currencies. Financial experts are optimistic it will continue until next year if politics become stable. Now that’s super!
Best of Philippine sports: Tied are boxing sensation Manny Pacquiao and world-pool champion Ronato Alcano, giving pride to the country and inspiration to the people.
Worst of Philippine Sports: Poor performance at the Doha Games
The Philippine team, reigning champions of Southeast Asian Games, failed to deliver a good performance at the Asian Games garnering only 4 golds.
Worst Nursing Issue: Nursing exams leakage
The nursing community was stunned when issues of leakage of the June 2006 nursing board exam were uncovered. It was months before board passers were allowed to take the oath. Moreover, it left a scar at the image of the nursing profession in the country.
Worst Natural Disasters: Milenyo and Reming
Ravaging the east Philippines including Metro Manila, Milenyo and later a more powerful Reming proved to us how Mother Nature can unleash her wrath and brought some provinces to its knees. Electricity is out, infrastructures and crops were destroyed causing millions of pesos of damage. Hundreds were left dead and thousands more, homeless.
Worst Man-made Disaster: Guimaras Oil Spill
Tons of crude oil was spilled into the beaches and mangroves of Guimaras when the oil tanker MT Solar 1 sunk to the sea nearby Guimaras. Thousands were affected especially fishermen who rely on the sea for their livelihood.
Best of San Beda: Ended 28 at 82!
Champion at last! The Red Lions brought an end to the 28-year NCAA basketball title drought at season 82. Hope we will be champs again this year. Way to go!
Best Foreign Show: Grey’s Anatomy
Dr. Merideth Grey and the rest of the surgical interns are still rocking, never losing their touch. Featuring the twists and turns in the love life and social life of the people in the surgical wing of Seattle Grace and interesting medical cases, this hospital drama show will surely glue your eyes to your TV’s.
Best Film: The Devil wears Prada
Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway at their best this year in the silver screen, this movie is nominated three times to the 2007 Golden Globe and won one.
Worst Films: Da Vinci Code
What?? You’re Jesus’ descendant? Well, we are Buddha’s. Come on. Now that’s heretical. This movie is plain boring and misleading, no more. Better read the Bible.

I'm down with colds for the past three days. Ugh, and in this time that I need to do so much.
I saw the news with the country music awards that Dixie Chicks did not get even one nomination despite its sweep of the Grammy's. What the hell, country music sucks any way. Grammy is not a real award says Homer Simpson. I think CMA too. Too bad.

Well this post is from cofibean. I find it really funny. By the way, orc as he call it are the masa or baho masa.
Ok pare, I have some friends asking me na on how to spot daw ba an orc from all the uber dami ng tao here sa pinas. Its very simple lang naman pare diba? Below are 10 things you should know to spot an orc...
1. They are always making kumpol almost on all public places making loud kwentos to each other and making loud tawas while speaking to each other with English accent pa! Tapos when you look at them they are like very much natives pare. Complete with the balat mahirap pa.
2. People aboard some masa jeepneys and other public utility vehicles with their rather gaudy and obviously second hand ukay-ukay clothes. Tapos sticking out pa their latest got-from-the-bombays-as-hulugans celfones from time to time for all to see. Kaya naman most of them usually ends up all patay na from the tusok on the side they got from being held up. Lousy no?
3. People who are flashing their faux-brand clothing like Louis Vuitton, DKNY, etc. tapos making lakad lang together with their big bags containing their lutong bahay baons and everything-they-need-for-the-day-na-galing-from-haus-just-to-survive kit dahil they are making tipid to save their money pa to buy some mumurahing drinks from Coffee Bean or Starbs to look cool pare. Tapos when you try to stare at them for about ten minutes, some words starts na to magically appear all over their body no.. Words like "FAKE", "POSER", "ORC" and may complete phrase pa na "HEY! LOOK AT ME, I'M LIKE A FUCKING YABANG POSEUR NO!". Optical illusion? Hell NO pare!
4. People making tambay along sidewalks (i'm referring to makati, ortigas and QC business districts pare) and trying hard to look sosy by making hithit their mumurahing Phillip yosi. Very much looking like a bunch of crapolas if you ask me.
5. People with complete set of AM/FM stereos tapos making it tago lang inside their pockets para it would look something like an ipod pare. Tapos even though there's a loud music na sa place, they will try to wear pa rin their headphones and make headbang. Eh they are listening lang naman to AM balita no. The hell pare!
6. People wearing thick jackets even though its sooo fucking init sa pinas. Tapos when they try to make taas na their kili-kili to make the funk its like so dripping wet na with the baho masa juice.
7. People wearing uber kapal chin-chun-su foundation just to hide their panget faces and only goes out at night because they're afraid that the tanghali sun might melt their faces and reveal the kadire physiognomy underneath no. As in!
8. They live at the ipis and daga infested squalid part of the city. Places that the goverment should consider bulldozing na because of the pollution they generate and the low morality they teach their uber daming kids which are the future holduppers and kidnappers here sa pinas.
9. All the baklas and tivolis you see at night making pakalat-kalat at the business districts. Tapos they are making tingin pa with matching pagnanasa pare in their eyes. As in asa pa them no!
10. And they have this uncanny ability to irritate my aura. Its creepy and eery at the same time.
So there.

Why...
Do you always do this to me
Why...
Couldn't you just see it through me
How come
You act like this
Like you just don't care at all
Do you expect me to believe
I was the only one to fall
I can feel I can feel you near me
Even though you're far... a-way
I can feel I can feel you baby
Why...
It's not supposed to feel this way
I need you I need you
More and more each day...
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you I need you I need you
Tell me
Are you and me still together
Tell me
D'you think we could last forever
Tell me
Why
Hey...
Listen to what we're not saying
Let's play...
A different game than what we're playing
Try...
To look at me and really see my heart
Do you expect me to be-lieve
I'm gonna let us fall apart
I can feel I can feel you near me
Even when you're far away
I can feel I can feel you baby
Why...
It's not supposed to feel this way

More and more each day...
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you I need you I need you
Tell me
Are you and me still together
Tell me
D'you think we could last forever
Tell me
Why
So go on and think about
Whatever you need to think about
Go on and dream about
Whatever you need to dream about
And come back to me when you know just how you feel
You feel
I can feel I can feel you near me
Even though you're far away
I can feel I can feel you baby
Why...
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you I need you
More and more each day...

I haven't done anything productive for my final projects yet. Everything is still a mess. My report for Asian Civilization is scattered all over the room and I don't know how to start it. For the guidance final paper, I still haven't done anything, not even right the letter to my previous school. I can't find the motivation to do these things.
2 psychological reports loom before me, all to be past within the next weeks. So do 1 very elaborate experiment and some minor nuisance like Bene.
Right now, I'm doing the ASCIV report and after one slide I'll watch an episode of bleach and lay down on the bed every other minute. Ugh. This is so boring.
