Mathematically, no but, when it comes in time and space, it is sort of computable. Making this a figure of speech for nothing. Pretty self-explanatory on that said made-up formula, making myself horrendous. Anyway, today is my 18th birthday and I must admit, I am NOT that mature when it comes to responsibilities inside and outside our household but I am getting there to be a responsible guy at all task and I am trying to be a social companion and socially healthy as well. You see, I am a type of person who is an anti-socialite, it's not that I am "the loner", it's such that, I don't feel to talk to people because we lack of similarities that's all and I want to change that, I wanted my friends to see that I am trying to know them and not the loser kid of yesterday (during high school days where I used to get yanked and bullied by other people bigger than me and screwed me up). I was totally a high-tempered person at that time because they used to tease me things that they see in me physically, which is a horrendous things to do. I wanted to change that as well, the old hot-headed Ralph, will be the patient and more confident Ralph of tomorrow, Hopefully.

Another wish for my birthday is for my family. I hope that my mother will find a way to surpass our problem. You see, I am currently in hiatus right now but I am still learning, thank you, Internet and my mom let my sister to finish college so that she can get a job and then let me go back in shape. In addition, I have scoliosis, I used to suffer something and I can't breathe normally because my right lung can't gather more air in exchange and my left is doing all the work and some back aches, that's why I am in hiatus from hard wok learning. It's sad and painful to know it last year after three terms in Mapua, one of my dream schools to enter. I just wish that my mother will be okay at all times because she's always tired at work and I understand her, a lot. Everyday, I am always thinking of things like (Did my mother already eat? Is she home already?) Questions of concern in her part. On my sister, that I hope she surpasses every single task, one at the time, grabe, kasi, sa bahay, yes, lagi ko siyang parang inaasar and she used to pummel me and parang hindi serious on her side everything she says in every experience in Letran, parang hindi interesado parang wala lang, (that's my alter ego, being a crazy dude), pero inside, I am concerned too as well kasi lagi siyang puyat, hindi na nakakauwi at laging maginagawa, halos walang pahinga. That's why I helped some of her work (I am such a good brother). And sa dad ko, Dad please, sana maibalik mo ang dati Papa na nakilala ko. Too complicated to tell and I don't want to broaden up some details. That's my wish for my beloved family. To my other one's na sana lagi silang safe.

Did some wishes for myself, my friends and my loved ones. Now to my extraordinary wishes (Sana matupad balang araw before I die, I am still compiling this every year I celebrate my day).

- Sana I obtain a Manchester United Home Kit.
- I wish I have a PS3 or XBOX 360 right now falling from the sky.
- Hopefully to meet every single "ultimate crushes" I had (Celebrity ones, not from my high school days, I will not enumerate them all, ang dami but I would like to mention this girl).
-And lastly, an operation to be cured on my Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

I guess that is all for now, my day is like any other day this year, like last year's, where I used to be a busy boy in all task in Mapua during that day with my Diagnostic test, I still remember that day. Well, I just wish again, to have more birthdays to come to experience life even more. Now, if you excuse me, I have some Oasis songs to enjoy. Good day to all and thanks for the greetings, Appreciated it.

Well, it's been 10 months now of useless vacation for me since I chose to rest my body from hardwork learning in Mapua for 6 months straight and it was a sign that I was making myself late for the others and it was hard to lose grip on something I need. It's like a race to the finish where I need to cross the white line and it will be mission accomplished but my current stature, physically, mentally and probably socially are not enough to beat those other guys and got the upper hand advantage wise.

I felt like a jerk because I have this Scoliosis and dealing it for years and years and if you ask me, if you have this, it's hard to deal life. Seriously. You can't breathe properly at one time and have low condition of you're running or if your are lifting something that heavy. That's where I suffered during my first months as a college student back then.



Again, I felt like a jerk why I pushed my limitations and go to the school that can cause me too much pressure, health-wise and mental wise. A sheer embarrassment on my side to be here loafing around while I am seeing some of my friends' statuses on Facebook about their goals, heartbreaks in learning and success it it (e.g., Ang galing ko, naiapasa ko ang MATH23 ngayon pero sure fail ako sa PHY15 nito bukas kasi hindi ako nagreview). Like that. I am so envious to them and the feeling of achievement is BIG in sight.

In 10 months, I am trying to still learn. Reading some of my books on Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, Solid Mensuration and more. Also, I am learning online, some random quizzes in random college courses. Trying to exercise my brain and not to be a loser to myself because I was inspired on that blog I saw last week about a graduating student this year, and he's not just a graduating one, a Suma Cum Laude one. I read his graduating speech and said that he was one of the victims of procrastination of his high school and early college days where he used to fail. He wasn't at that point, a serious student and then he pursued harder that he deserve and now, he's at the top. A proof that education is for everyone and failing is just a natural instinct to every student. We can rise up again from the grave.

there will come a day for next year, after my sister graduated, then, it's my turn to come back. I will be back in Manila but I am NOT sure if in Intramuros Walls again or in other district. We'll see. The return is near upon me.

You know, here's my introduction...

F*ck Justin Bieber, F*ck Super Junior, F*ck SHINee, F*ck 2NE1, F*ck 4Minute, F*ck FT Island, F*ck One Way and F*ck them all Korean Pop artists plus upcoming charisma artists. Damn, these artists are called "charisma artists" where they used their charms and looks to hypnotize millions and millions of people in the Philippines that's why they dominate the local charts as of now. Those "them" are the ones who have fanbases of that said artists where most of "them" are brash talkers and narcissists to them people who hates their beloved artists, especially Justin Bieber, f*ck that guy.

I just think that Justin Bieber just made a clear shot of his popular "Bieber Blast" to the millions of people who are hypnotize as of the moment on his charisma music. Come on, he didn't compose his songs, he can't play any single instrument instead of whacking the drums which in result, the drums was ruined in the last VMA's because of fail musicality, and his stupid hair. Damn. I am damn sure that the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States will not notice Bieber's voice and he will be not nominated for any Grammy award next year nor all of the K-Pop artists, they all don't deserve it. It's impossible for them. Sorry for this harsh words if you're really into Bieber Fever or to Korean Wave but it's just I hate them, so I express them here.

Now, to those Korean Pop artists, I blame GMA for starting this Korean Wave thingy. If you remember 2003, the first Korean drama shown here in Philippine free TV, "Endless Love". In result, it hooked millions of Filipinos, and now, unanimous Filipinos now wanted to extract more from Koreans instead of drama. You know, they wanted to explore more to Koreans. So, they have interest on their music, which they really don't understand, even I am. Flock of female birds screaming (I meant of Filipina girls), in every Super Junior or U-Kiss or any other Korean boy band concert. Damn, I just hate it. They, the Filipina teenagers, love them because they're cute and handsome... that's why the Original Pinoy Music industry is down and unappreciative by the Pinoys themselves and I must admit, that industry is changed, Western-type musicality wanna be is the OPM industry but somehow I find Tanya Markova the coolest band I listened too in the fact that I liked "synthpop" music. Maybe that's why unanimous people here goes "crab mentality" and being part of those fags like Bieber and those K-Pop artists.

I would rather listen to William Hung than Justin Bieber. Just f*ck them all. Oh, and also, If I was asked this question, "Bieber or Die?" I would rather DIE than BIEBER.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to do some unique this on a unique day on a unique style of blogging. So, I am using this MacBook for so long only for this day because I never touched one and now, I am holding and amazed because of my infinitesimal experience. So, I will make two blogs in one entry alone.

First Blog: "Four Years more Mom, you'll be a Golden Mom".

My mom is getting older and yet as she grow older, the harder her challenges will be. She is just four years away to be a "Golden Mom". She's is my supermom alright. She just celebrated her birthday last September 6 and yet I didn't blog it earlier enough but that said day was a normal day for her that she needed to work on a Monday but we greeted her through text which is I think enough for her to brighten her day but I don't think it's enough.

I know that my mother doesn't want that to happen. She's that kind of mother that finds a way just to bond with her family and making it special. So, on September 11, we had a steak-out montage or for short, a dinner out. She is the celebrant but she bought the food for us which is embarrassing and rare but you know my mother, she just truly loves us and we had a lot of love debt for her. We need to somehow equal it up.

From all those sufferings, she continues to surpass it all no matter how hard it is, whether it is financial problem, or social problem, or physical problem whatsoever, she is just the supermom I know.

I love you, Mama.

Second Blog: September 26, a year before.

September 26 of last year, it was the most horrendous experience I received and hopefully, I won't have that same experience ever again. It was a rough experience.

I am really lucky that I am just having a case of massive traffic in the suburbs of Manila. 14 hours, that's no big deal now to me when I saw that there are thousands of people that have the worst situations than I did last Saturday, September 26, 2009. Others are in the roofs of their houses, even they didn't own the house. Others are finding a way to get out of the floods. Others are having the heroic aura to save many lives before their own selves. Wow, imagine what kind of environment, of atmosphere it will be.

After that 6 deadly hours of heavy rainfall and aggressive floods, just look of those people who were victimized by Ketsana, by immobilizing to Ketsana's foolish love, I must say, maybe not.

I feel that I want to help them and I think all of those 92 million Filipinos are required to help those for a speedy recovery. So, from Ketsana with Love? I must say, not.


Well, yeah. Damn, I need to pee in the center of Coastal Road on that day. No food, no water at all. God, I was almost dehydrated on that day. The jeepneys were so rare on that day, gladly I found one and the gate in my house was locked so, I need to climb that 8-foot gate up. Thank God I was okay.

Oh my. It was a shocking day today. I am so deeply ashamed on what just happened today. Kind of speechless and with deep affection but nevertheless, no Filipinos were killed but the innocent Hong Kong tourists that just wanted to vacate here and enjoy the wonders of the three stars and a sun nation.

It happened at around 10:30 a.m. where at that time, I was sleeping gently after a fierce battle of a computer game with one of my buddies at around 3-4 a.m. When I woke up at 3 p.m., my father was watching all along on the TV and wondering that something is unusual because he didn't watch the news at that time, he was supposed to watch his favorite noontime show but alas, he was tuning in to the news about the hostage taking in the Quirino Grandstand. He told me some details and I felt so concerned a bit because I seen it before. Last 2007, the same hostage taking on the bus happened. At first, I was confident that it will obtain a great outcome but the opposite happened.

Rolando Mendoza, a former police senior inspector, was the gunman. My sister told me that the story goes like this. The said Hong Kong tourist bus was in Fort Santiago. The photographer inside the bus counted the tourists inside and it was all 21 of them, that made a total of 25 including the 21 tourists and the 4 Filipino tour guides, and photographers and the driver respectively. All of a sudden, Mendoza was in the fray. He went to the said vehicle and ask if this bus needed security and yet the photographer said that they don't need any security nor bodyguard at all but what the heck, you can join, he said kind of like that.

They made into the Quirino Grandstand and that's what happened. Mendoza explained to the passengers that he was doing this to fight for what I want to obtain and is to go back to his job and lift his cases and he requested for the passengers to cooperate and he will NOT KILL ANYONE. Really? He was just making a threat to the Ombudsman but what happened? Then this driver of the bus escaped and told the media that all of the passengers are dead, which we go to the horrendous Manila SWAT team, they were alarmed and bash the hell out of the windows and fire some gunshots inside the bus which I think the cause of some fatalities including Mendoza's death.

If only the police shoot the TV inside the bus where it showed what happening outside so Mendoza wouldn't know what happened outside. C'mon. The policemen couldn't even get the dude's brother into a policecar. How'd you expect them to deal with an actual hostage situation. Oh my. I am goddamn speechless at this very moment. Was I screaming for God's sake?

The whole world saw it, even me. I saw it on some local and international news stations like GMA, ABS-CBN, CNN, BBC, ChannelNewsAsia, CCTV, RT, and so on. It was truly a lesson to us Filipinos especially the Philippine National Police. Sana hindi na maulit ito and we are praying for it. International people have have negative thoughts about our country which is BAD but we can rise up and regain the good image that we deserve.

Again, God bless the souls of the hostage taking victims. We Filipinos are great and professional people and I know it. We are also aware of what will happen, we are deeply concerned of what our fellow countrymen did horrendously.

Where: In my bedroom.

The feeling of the compilation of the members of one's clan or one's family is truly one of the best highlights of our life. It gives us the uplifting that someone really cares about you because the family's name is not only by one, is by multiples. Even thought you have problems or downfalls, you have the rest of the family to help you and don't ever say that nobody loves you.

Moving along... too emotional. What a crybaby. Anyway, yesterday, August 8, we had a family reunion in Los Baños, Laguna... where one of my uncle lives. They hosted the said reunion and actually, they started this thing last year and I think it will be an annual event for our family.

It all started when my grandmother to my father's side, passed away (R.I.P Grandma Juling), and after the burial ceremony, we took a grand picture with the whole family wearing the immaculate white tops, a symbol of peace. There's talks of a reunion all of a sudden and it came into a reality.

I must say the family reunion this year was doubled compared to last year's reunion because many of us or unanimously of us attended, it's nearly completed, plus the fact that my family was complete. Last year, my father and I were the attendees representing our family. Nothing's different if I compare the reunion of last year to this year's.

The fiesta-type of celebration like some drink-o-holic station outdoors, foods galore indoors with some chit-chat of their memories, not just the usual chit-chat, others are chatting each other on Facebook, which is kewl. Literally. I mean it. We brought our laptop together with my uncle's set of laptops, which is totally rare. I played with my fellow cousins, while playing my own game with my gaming friend outside Los Baños, he's from Batangas right now, beat him good. Nobody cares.

It was a day of bonding, picture-taking and celebration that we shared on that day. It was fun while it lasted. There's rumours of a swimming event this Saturday, which is another reunion extravagant, that I heard but I'll dig it to that for sure with our family.

I can't wait for another reunion next year, we should do this every year for a living. Without this family reunion, I must say, our lives will be a piece of nil souls.

Thanks a lot.

August 1 is "The Day of Rekindling".

Time: 5:24 p.m.
Now Playing: "On Melancholy Hill" by Gorillaz.
Where: In my sister's bedroom.

Why did I entitled the very first day of August "The Day of Rekindling"? If you are a Filipino, learned some history lessons, and does like the color yellow, you might probably know why it is. No seriously, these requirements are jokes but it's pretty obvious why did I call that. It's the day to commemorate Corazon C. Aquino, the mother of Democracy in the Philippines. The world witnessed what she had done to change the image of the Filipinos in the four corners of the globe.

It all started during 1983 where Benigno Aquino Jr., he is the Father of Democracy in the Philippines, fought for democracy during the Marcos regime and mostly accused Ferdinand Marcos about their hidden riches which they stole in people's taxes. He fought for so long and ran for presidency and yet he lost to Marcos. The people of the Philippines were not convinced so they continue to oppose Marcos with that curious result of that said election. Ninoy, however, was arriving in the Manila International Airport at that time when suddenly he was gunshot and he was down, down at his homesoil, he made it yet it was a sacrifice I must say because he returned home with one voice, that we must unite to fight dictatorship, and corruption. So, it was truly a sad day for all Filipinos when he died August 21, 1983. I think more than a million gathered together during the burial day and I wish I witnessed that but sadly, I wasn't in existence yet.

People started to let people sign to be part of 1 million signature petition for Mrs. Aquino to run for presidency which is the beginning of the true history. She did run and a rumored she won and another rumored Marcos won via majority votes or a slate. She was a then mother turn president when Marcos flee to be exiled in Hawaii. She truly changed our country when the 20-year dictatorship ended.

"Kapag nagkaroon ng demokrasya ang Pilipinas, pwupwede na akong mawala sa mundo." That's the quote that I will never forget that she said during her last interview and she was suffering with colon cancer (I hate cancer, seriously). She died August 1, 2009 at 3: 18 a.m. and the Cory Magic is still here.

Anyway, when she died, it was all silence and pure commemoration to what she had done to the Philippines and I kind of figuring out something weird yet it is true. I was truly crying when I was on the bus when I heard the news on my way home after a grueling day on Mapua during that day.

She died on 08-01-2009, right?

She died at 03:18 a.m., right?

Try gather all the numbers around. ---> 080120090318. There.

Remove all the zeros. ---> 8129318.

I jumbled it and here's the result. ---> 8211983. If you see it as 8-21-1983, that's Ninoy's date of death. What a coincidence and it is truly a magic for Philippine Democracy, they united again after 26 years.

And now, his son, Noynoy will continue his parents' legacy and hopefully we will recover after the nine-year inconsistent governance, which caused for lack of funds and bigger problems in corruption and poverty.

We will never forget you, Cory.

Laban!

Lionel Messi, he is one of my idols in football, playing for F.C. Barcelona and he is the best in the world, winning the "Ballon D' Or". I also like Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and Wayne Rooney. They are just the examples of the icons I praised in football which is NOT a factor here in our country. Well, we all know that "football" is phenomenon, right? Almost the 6 billion people in the world are ecstatic to the game. Not everyone but you can't please every sports fan to become one-dimensional when it comes to the game preference but it's just that I want to feel that every Filipino should be into "football", you know... playing the game, watching the game, et cetera. I truly envy every single country that usually participate in the biggest sporting event in every four years tied with the Summer Olympics, and it is the FIFA World Cup. You can name them. England, Germany, Brazil, Spain, even Cote d' Ivoire or Ivory Coast is one of the powerhouses of the sport even though in the international community that it is one of the most unpopular or unrecognized countries in the world. It's not that I am not respecting the country of Ivory Coast but where the hell is "Ivory Coast"? I know it's in Africa but where?

Anyway, to the main topic. I am envying them all it is because of the word "passion". You know, I always imagine if the Philippines qualify the World Cup for the first time. What will be the crowd look like? Having their painted faces of the design of the Philippine flag plus, our jersey with some expensive merchandises and sponsorships, plus, who are the members of the team or what will be our monicker? The Patriots? It's good.

I want for them, our national team, if they are really in existence to play more football and to the Philippine Sports Commission to give them exposure and establish a professional league for Filipinos with major clubs so that we can regularly participate in the Asian Football Confederation or AFC and a possible trip to the World Cup.

You know, bagay talaga sa atin ang larong "football" because Filipinos are short and in football, we don't have to become freakishly large to be a good football player, unless if you want to be a goalkeeper with that long legs blocking every goal kick. Also, Filipinos are very "passionate" people and football is a game full of passion, as you can see from the other international countries participated for centuries like England for instance. It's like watching Manny Pacquiao in every fixture. It's just that, no exposure.

So, I released my feeling for Filipinos na sana 'wag naman puro 'basketball' or 'boxing' ang ating panoorin. We need to become football fans. I cannot force everyone but I hope this will happen. And the first thing to look forward is the Philippine National Football Team in the Homeless World Cup in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, who qualified and oh, Brazil is the number one ranked when it comes to the sport "football". Come on mga kababayan, let's cheer our team with pride and passion.

Well, if you are living in the Philippines, you might know what event or events will take place this Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Of course it will historic and in fact a start of change in the Philippine political scene. A transition of power, as they say on this day. It will be the Inauguration of the 15th President and Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines, Benigno "Noynoy" Simeon Aquino III, and Jejomar "Jojo" Binay respectively. I must say that this will be a historic day for the most of us but after that day, it will be a blowout inside Malacañang Palace.

Also, not to mention, another thing that comes to the Filipinos on that day is the opening of the much awaited "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse", which is the third installment of that Stephanie Meyer novel series. So, it's like this, the people of the Philippines has to choose one event to attend, unless if you're a die-hard Twilight fan that you wanted to see the movie on the actual opening date, which is the day Noynoy is scheduled to speak for his inauguration. Well, most of us are I think in the focus for this momentous event, I meant the inauguration of our new leaders.

As I am typing this third paragraph, I am watching the live coverage of the special coverage for the inauguration but not the real inauguration yet. Probably, in the morning but back to the topic. I am quite confused on what to do on this day but I made my mind that it is for the good of our country if every Filipino witnessed another chapter in the country's history. So, maybe, I can watch the Eclipse later this week, on the first week of July or two just to witness Noynoy's speech and also some musical parade and the President's surprise number. So, I am kind of drowsy now and this is my first blog since the election last May 10. It's been a while. Good day to the Philippines and "Mabuhay ang mamamayang Pilipino."

Well, as I make this blog, the British voters were finished to vote for this day and the Conservatives are leading, as in grabbing more parliamentary seats than their rival party, Labour and the Liberal Democrats and it also marks that it will be three days away and it is judgment day here in our beloved democratic country.

Ads here, ads there, banners here, banners there, Facebook campaigning here, Facebook campaigning there. That's what the Philippines elections is all about. CAMPAIGNING THROUGHOUT. More effort and talk, and more money to spend. The candidates are willing to sing and dance for you just to get their vote to you. It's all about charisma and popularity here and I kind of envying the United Kingdom and the United States in their way of campaigning. Not much road work, not much banners, streamers of the candidates' faces at all because they want their country to be clean at all times because there is the word TOURISM and in their campaigning speeches, I can see the platform going and the future is bright, it's all about professionalism at work and if the election day goes and ended the polls, it is always a peaceful one, I mean, no killings, like here in the country, the losing candidates accepts and congratulate and support his rival to his platform. That's what I wanted to see in our country but it is not. Pure sheer black propaganda here, pure sheer black propaganda there. What's next? Corruption?

That's why there are rich countries under us. We were formerly second to the richest country in Asia alone because of the intelligent projects by Ferdinand Marcos but he changed his image from having good governance in him to a merciless dictator. Now, we are second to the last I think as the richest. Wow, because of CORRUPTION of the previous administrations, including the Marcos'. Also, I noticed to our politicians that some of them are hungry for a seat in any position, that's why they used violence and more just to win the seat and also, not to mention vote buying and again, black propaganda, I mean, why do they have to do that? Is because they are scared of losing power and whatnot? It's a nil, come on. That's how the immaturity of the Philippine politics goes. Plus, a lot of liars and promises. I hate that, seriously.

As I make this blog, I am NOT against nobody at all, at any candidate, I just wanna see a better Philippines for like twenty years, thirty years ago and never tasted that kind of feeling when every Filipino is up again. So, we all want change, right? But who will stand for CHANGE? So, as I type this again, it's midnight, dawn rather, and it's two days away come Election Day here and I just wish that everything is set, with no failures in the automated election, our first, and hopefully to every single Filipino in this 7,107 islands, that we must choose the best candidate that we think that he/she can stand for change. I am just a 17-year old boy, but I can feel the masses' will for change.

Now Playing: "Miracle" by Vertical Horizon

Oh men, yesterday, April 12, 2010, was one of the most horrendous days in my entire life because it is one of the most serious days I have faced in my entire life and I know, some of you are having this problem as well. Yesterday, my parents took me to Alabang Medical Clinic for an abrupt check-up for my "Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis". From the word "idiopathic", it means or it relates to "hereditary" or came to a previous generation. Damn, once you obtain this kind of sickness, you will keep this forever unless you want to have a greater and better life, you should take an orthopedic surgery.

It was totally horrendous all of a sudden because my mother cannot accept that it is the only way to get me cure, but not only 100%, probably 90% cured because you cannot easily bent the spinal cord straight. So, my mother and I never gave up that we can find the alternative solution because you know, in every operation, there are risks to take during the execution. It's either you have improved your life or worse, you will never get your life back by this such operation. That's what we are thinking. I know the doctors here are great, they are well-trained, it's such that we will never know the future.

My father and my mother argued about it and I just remarked to them that it doesn't matter if it is an operation or not, I will take both, the matter is I will be healed soon, enough said. I continue to suffer, experiencing back spasms, hard to breathe sometimes and more pain and misery.

And I went to PinoyExchange Forum, "What's Up Doc?" and I know there are doctor moderators in the said forum, and I have read some of my fellow victims of this tragic sickness and yeah, most of them took operation and have their life even better, some are not, and took swimming as an alternative. I saw a 29-year old lady who suffered just like me, she discovered that she had scoliosis when she was 10, after that, she continued to ease the pain at 29. Wow, I don't want to ease the pain that age, when you are in 30's having a family and a job. It's a discrimination you know.

Oh men, I just wish that I never have this kind of horrendous sickness, if you were in my situation, you will experience something that is hard to cope with some normal people and it's hard to have scoliosis, it's like a virus on your computer or laptop. First, you feel that it is safe to use, then later, there will be many worms, spyware and some Trojan Horses and you won't able to treat it unless you have an anti-virus and that anti-virus for me is the OPERATION.

"Please God, help us surpass these problems."

Well, it's been an emotional and irritating week for me and my family. Oh men, I don't know if I can blog this but anyway, I need to release my feelings by a conversation to this laptop and yeah, I will try to put it all together in this significant blog. Well, it was March 29, 2010, I watched the Horoscope in a morning program and the astrologist or should I merely say, the horoscope lady said that the most emotional persons in this certain are Taurus, Cancer, Virgo and Scorpio... which are the zodiac signs representing for my father, my sister, my mother and me respectively.

Well, since my father was caught on his reckless actions last year where she texted ladies for enjoyment and contentment where my mother used to work hard and tried to surpass us into poverty while my father was just going the other path. So, that's how it started and since that day occurred up to now, pure bad things happens to us. Talking about the aroma of karma. Good grief, why is this happening to us and I hate to suffer this because I don't want to see my mother or father, even my sister suffer like this, especially in my part that I should do... and speaking of that, I wonder how I can help to switch back this problem. Since this happened, we had some tons of financial problems, not to mention, tons of relationship problems in each of us. My mother was suffering a lot of damage, in financial, emotional, spiritual, everything. That's why me and my sister used to comfort her a lot but was that enough?

Because of this problem, I used to take a "Leave of Abscence", because I suffered a lot of physical damage due to my "Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis" and also, yeah, you guessed it, financial problems, again. I hate to say it but I need to sacrifice. I gave up a place for my sister for her education then after she graduated, I will be back to Mapua and finish my unfinished business.

Because of this hideousness of my father, we had to move to another place because of our house is surrounded now by termites and needed a renovation immediately but my cousins who are also my neighbor chose to renovate and extend their house by repairing this house so that their sons and daughters will have their own rooms. It's a bit risky and in fact, I will say goodbye to this gray wire that I called "SMART BRO INTERNET". Sheesh, I will miss everything, especially the Internet. If we go to another place, I will not surf to the Internet no more unless I will be tempt to go to a local Internet Cafe nearby.

Because of this problem, my mother doesn't know what to do next and trying to fix this all and I am having my sympathy to her and I really have no idea what is the next step and she said that we must pray to the Lord on what will be our next path and guidance. Yes, I maybe an Atheist myself but religiosity will not be gone because our mother is a true devotee to Him and we, me and my sister, were influenced greatly.

Because of this stupid and horrendous actions from my father last year, it turned all around to this. A dysfunctional, problem-prone family, less-emotional healthy group of individuals. I just wish I can think and participate on what will be our next would be. What is it gonna be? I don't want our family to end up in a downright path, I want it to reach the peak again like we used to in the past and I missed that dearly where it was all organized and superb.

PLEASE LORD, GUIDE US TO OUR PATH.

A Very, Very, Holy Week Indeed.

---

Oh men, today, as I write this... it is Holy Monday and as usual, the headlines are in the bus terminals wherein they will go to their provinces and commemorate this week to the Lord with their loved ones. Well, last year, I was able to fasten where I just ate a dish per day and that was reeked and extremely horrendous in my point of view but anyway, a sacrifice is a sacrifice and that's how I can help. Yeah, sometimes, I am the person who is merely agnostic but sometimes I can show my religiosity and calmness to concentrate and pray. Doubts will be there always but the superiority of the Lord is everlasting.

Now, I just wonder if what can I do in this year's Holy Week? Just loafing around and do more fastening again just like the old times? I guess so but this year, we will visit my mom's long time friend and former neighbor in our former house. Just a little chat, and reconciliation. It will be on April 1 and this tweet whore and Facebook addict has got to go for 3 days of sacrifice, including for NOT visiting the sites I have mentioned in commemoration to the Filipino's yearly activity.

I am just wondering why others chose to vacate and unwind like celebrities do? I recently tweeted celebrities on Twitter about their plans on Holy Week and yeah, unanimously, they said they will go to Boracay and I said, c'mon, you GTFO there and give some sacrifice to the Lord for just one week and you can go vacate yourselves.

Another thing that is regular during Holy Week is the "Pasyon" or "Pabasa" where you will sing in it's usual tune the verses from the Bible for 18 straight hours and yes, I will not do that but I can try if I am interested for about when I get on 40?

So, this week is the scared week of the year. Please give respect to this week and please, give some time to the Lord for just one week because he saved us from our sins and we must give back to Him.

"I maybe sometimes an atheist but sometimes I can have that religiosity in me."

"The Lord protects and defends me; I trust in him. He gives me help and makes me glad; I praise him with joyful songs." --- Psalm 28:7.

"The Event", Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey: Speed vs. Durability.

Well, today was another great day for me because it is Pac-Man Day for all Filipinos. One of my Twitter friends said that March 13, 2010 was "Happy St. Pacquiao's Day; parodied version of the "Happy St. Patrick's Day". Well, I was curious on the Cowboys Stadium in downtown Arlington in the state of Texas, in the United States of course. I was curious of everything. Most of the people, even the trailer of the "The Event", which Top Rank made, it is a combination of the Colosseum in Rome, Italy and the You know, the capacity crowd, the ring, oh, also, especially this one, I was oh-so curious about the 180-feet wide screen and I was expecting to see the Philippine flag waving in that said wide screen but never saw it throughout the Pay-Per-View.

So, I was watching the said card with my dad and we have that culture that we will go to every Pacquiao fight together with the massive audience of our beloved city, Muntinlupa. Also, I get so irritated with the coliseum barker inside wherein he called the candidates to remember their achievements to implement this project, SHOW PACQUIAO PPV. Damn, why do people care about it so much anyway?

Moving on. We went there at 8 in the morning and it is obvious that the PPV will start at approximately 9 in the morning because the stage is in Texas, not in Las Vegas and we know that the United States is a huge country so, different timezones plus, Daylight Savings Time.

It sure had a great under card fights on that day.Oh men, John Duddy of Ireland beating Michael Medina? Wow. Alfonso Gomez destroyed Jose Luis Castillo? Yes. David Diaz got owned by Humberto Soto? Yeah.

But here comes "The Event". All of us were screaming and saying a lot of bad and unnecessary words inside. There were a lot of average Filipinos inside and I think I am the only critical human being inside. Oh men, the irony. Clottey usually did his dancing when he entered the ring. Filipinos were very sarcastic and close to being racists when Clottey arrived on the ring. When Manny arrived, it was oh-so epic.

The fight was on. I gave credit to Joshua Clottey because he is an underrated boxer and he had that tight defense covering his whole head and Manny cannot hook him or give a stiff jab or more stiff jabs but if you apply defense into basketball, if you play defense, without shooting, it's a nil so, that's what Clottey executed in the fight. No combinations at all, just wild jabs and uppercuts but Manny gave him a good fight.

Manny Pacquiao won via Unanimous Decision over Joshua Clottey to retain the WBO Welterweight Championship and the Ring Magazine #1 pound-for-pound title. What's next for Manny? Is he ready for the arrogant Floyd Mayweather who will face the pressure on Shane Mosley on May 2?

Also, I did now see the Philippine flag on that 180-feet wide screen. Thanks to a copyrighted video from YouTube.

Everything Alternative.

Well, just like the six billion people and others en-counting, living in this world, I am just like one of them who are truly obsessed with music because we all know that "Music is Life". Without music, it's like we are all gonna die by a "Global Cataclysm", taking our minds and soul of boredom for everlasting life. Well, I am a fan of music seventeen years ago and still hearing it at this very moment and take a note that I will be an avid fan of Alternative music forever because what I like about this genre is that the way the music plays, it brings some soothingness within my two critical ears.

I can make a list out of it. Come on, Keane, Coldplay, Muse, Placebo, The Killers, The Fray, Vertical Horizon, Snow Patrol, The Script, The Cure, Oasis, Travis, U2, Interpol, Blur, R.E.M.;... come on... this genre is where the best of the best artists play, in this genre. Unanimously, it's Britpop that I liked most when it comes to sub-genres of the Alternative genre.

From the past five years, I have listened to hundreds and hundreds of artists and truly, it was a big turn around. I was influenced by my classmates to emotional rock, where a lot of screams and growls mostly heard in most of the songs, during my junior year in high school but it turned lopsided and decided to sooth my ears to different genre and that's where the Alternative genre comes into play.

If I can check my memory to pump up my noodle in my head, here are the artists I have listened for the past five years.

2005: Kamikazee, Parokya Ni Edgar, Hale, Sponge Cola, 6cyclemind, The Fray, Orange and Lemons (now Kenyo), and other Original Pinoy Music artists.

2006: Kamikazee, Parokya Ni Edgar, Hale, Sponge Cola, 6cyclemind, My Chemical Romance, Green Day, Callalily, Linkin Park, Snow Patrol, U2, Muse and other Original Pinoy Music artists but during the 1980's because my classmates said so.

2007: Kamikazee, My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte, Fall Out Boy, Sparta, The Fray, Vertical Horizon, Restless Heart, Alesana, Boys Like Girls, Silverstein, Matchbook Romance, Secondhand Serenade, Callalily, Sean Kingston, Jojo, The Hives, Rise Against, Coldplay, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Typecast and many more that I forgot.

2008: My Chemical Romance, Rise Against, Alesana, Chicosci, Coldplay, Sugarfree, Silverstein, Fall Out Boy, The Hoosiers, Rivermaya, Good Charlotte, Secondhand Serenade, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Wheatus, The Killers, Weezer, Lordi, Death Cab for Cutie and many more.

2009: The Killers, Placebo, Coldplay, Keane, Muse, Vertical Horizon, Restless Heart, Survivor, U2, Cheap Trick, Lordi, The Fray, White Lies, Death Cab for Cutie, Snow Patrol and more.

2010: The Killers, Placebo, Coldplay, Keane, Muse, U2, Vertical Horizon, Restless Heart, Survivor, Cheap Trick, Lordi, The Fray, Basshunter, Travis, Delphic, Crookers, Death Cab for Cutie, Snow Patrol, MIKA, Interpol, Starsailor, Weezer, J.R. Richards, R.E.M., Audioslave and more.

You see the transition of the way I like my music. From Original Pinoy Music, to the emotional rock/teen rock world, to the acoustic side, and now, to the alternative mainstream. Well, I have serened enough that the loudest genre can't coped me in and it's like you can't the essence or the feeling of the song if you scream. It's all horrible.

Anyway, here are my Top 5 songs so far.

5.) Invincible by Muse



4.) A Dustland Fairytale by The Killers



3.) Undisclosed Desires by Muse



2.) My Shadow by Keane



1.) Clear Skies by Keane



Again, Everything Alternative.

Earthquakes, Tsunamis, and Global Armageddon.

The year 2010, on its very first quarter, there are many horrendous calamities happened. Some are minor, some as major and some are extraordinary. January 11th of this year, I was having a beautiful start of my day, eating my breakfast when I turned into CNN and I was shocked on what happened. Haiti suffered a 7.0-magnitude earthquake and I thought of that day that Haiti had only approximately two to four million living around the said country and then, after a week of retrieval operations, thousands were injured and they estimated that the fatalities will be on the rise at about 200,000 dead bodies. Imagine, that's a great loss to the population in Haiti plus the fact that their buildings aren't high standard just like in Japan which is an eathquake-prone country and no buildings will collpased due to their modern technology of enhancement of buildings in the said developed country, unlike Haiti who is part of the "Third World" like our country used to be. I was devasted on what happened yet people still rejoicing for hope that they would raise their hands to the Lord and do a lot of singing in downtown Port-au-Prince. It was truly tragic and devastating seeing videos of miraculous rescues and this video says it all.

It was an awful New Year to all Haitians and the whole wide world was making pledges and they were helping those poor Haitians who are trapped, desperate for food, water, shelter, clothing, health assistances, et cetera.

I had the worst breakfast ever when that day passed by because of that earthquake. I watched CNN, BBC and local television stations in my country just to know the up-todate happenings in Haiti. It was getting worse and worse as days comes by as death toll rose.



Now, I went to the local mall yesterday with my sister and my mother, without my father due to his lame actions, texting on her textmate buddies or her chicks on text to be infact. We had a great time together but while we were doing that, there are people screaming and calling for help in downtown Santiago in Chile, in South America. An 8.8-magnitude earthquake strucked Chile yesterday at 3:34 a.m., their local time, I estimate that's (GMT -9). So, it's 16 hours late in our time. Actually, the epicenter is in Maule, it is near the capital Santiago. Oh men, there were 78 people killed when I watched it yesterday, now it rises to 250+ and I wonder how many dead bodies will belong to that list in the coming days? Unlike the earthquake in Haiti, their buildings are stronger and they have more GDP than Haiti so, Chile can assist their countrymen even without international aid.

If you can see these images right here, you will see the devastation and drought by the power of natural calamity. It's like a calling why we aren't taking care of the environment. It's also a calling that we are near to obtain "Global Cataclysm".







And just today, the Hawaii Meteorology Station declared a massive tsunami warning to the nations who are part of the "Ring of Fire", which are the west coast of North and South America, Japan, east coast of Russia, Taiwan, east coast of China, Indonesia, east coast of Australia, Indochina and yes, even, my country, the Philippines. Japan will mostly affect the tsunami alert and I saw it on CNN earlier where all of the red spots are on Japan and Russia, we only obtain the orange spots which is the Level two warning.

The outcome was so good to hear. Gladly, Japan had a small tsunami, and so as Russia, and the Philippines is also safe from the tsunami. We are prepared.

Natural calamities way back from last decade is still contusing up to this year and it might be a possible that we might end at the year 2012 where the "Global Cataclysm" might occur. Hope this will NOT happen.

"No matter what happens, we have the most powerful thing that a human being can do, prayers."

Jealousy and Seriousness.

Well, everytime I visit these social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook and MySpace,I usually feel energized and feel up-to-date at the same time with my friends. 30% (thirty percent) on Facebook because of this following group of words, "I don't care about what is happening to you and my notifications is never-ending why...". Not to mention, playing applications, but it's just that when 60% (sixty percent) of my daily surfing is usually on Twitter because you can microblog yourself while updating yourself and yeah, you can stalk many celebrities as you want and like YouTube, you will be an easy star if you ruin one celebrity's personality, for instance is this video below:



It is in mixed emotions when I tweet, as well as everyone is tweeting. I just saw a lot of Twitter account who truly desires one of my favorite personalities. He just registered Twitter to ruin her soul badly and forced that said celebrity to delete her account. There are others that they commit to register to Twitter to chat only their favorite celebrity. That's how Twitter goes. If you truly know me, I am NOT a type of person who easily obsessed with celebrities and builds a massive fan bases... no, no, no, no, no... I am more of a student who truly obsessed with music and music alone, a future philanthropist but since I finally getting how to use this Twitter thingy, I get to know more celebrities.

Well, here goes the jealousy part. When I visit their profile pages, they are requesting to follow them yet, they are not giving back via reply or something that is useful to communicate. I know it is hard to reply tens of thousands of fans admiring you and it is understandable but I just take it when I didn't get one. Also, I envy this guy and this gal right here. What they have in common? They are the officers of a group fan bases (which I usually don't participate when it is outside, but okay in the forums only). Also, she followed the two of them and I said, "Wow, how lucky are they... I wish I can get mine..." I always dreaming about my favorite people as in everyday in my life, not exactly every night but in similar occasions. I am always dreaming that she will focus to me all the time...

Call me crazy at this point because I already felt this kind of feeling way back year 2005 where I was truly obsessed with a girl who dumped me for cheating. So, I just wish that I deserved to be followed but I know it is okay, because I am just a simple fan and being envious to the people that they know and chatting through their entire profile pages bragging for no reason.

This is horrendous.

Here We Go Again.

"This past few days and weeks, I can see myself just like the year 2005 where I experience that different feeling that every man cannot easily expound, that they keep it in mind, and I guess if you read this, you totally know what I am trying to say, right? Or do I have to draw a picture for you?"

On the last five years of my life, it is the year 2005, I was a high school freshman that year and it is my first time to saw beautiful ladies because it is natural to turn teen and actually see those kind of stuff. Everytime you get old, you get different needs and they level up so yeah, pure antics at my four years of high school. I saw a girl, she was the consistent first honor of our school and I admired her charisma to the classroom and yet, she's a beautiful girl as it can be. I tried everything to communicate with her and it doesn't work. I wrote a lot of stuff to her and I just saw that she had a boyfriend. I was truly disappointed and I respect her decision but she gave me a nice time to be with her for about an hour. I said in my mind that time that I will NEVER obsessed with a person again because it always end like this.



"This is what happened to me when I am obsessed. It ends up just exactly like this..."

After five years... Okay, I am getting obsessed with other person's achievements again. It is NOT jealousy but I am just inspired on her achievements. I am talking about Sam, Samuelle Pinto. Yeah, because you know what achievements she made during Pinoy Big Brother and post-Pinoy Big Brother? Right, he stuns every male fan out of our wildest dreams. She is just so gorgeous, although she is a silent, shy type of girl. You see, I am NOT the type of person who joins fanbases by fanbases, I am just being a simple fan where just watch her and tweet although I am quite upset with her abrupt replies. I learned one thing that "Obsession NEVER dies."

Should I stop being obsessed?

Quote of the day: "Obsession NEVER dies."

Just days away from Vancouver 2010.

Philippines is NOT probably the biggest fans of the quartet-annual sporting event for the Winter Season because Philippines is NOT familiar with the sporting event, mainly the sports that are usually taken in every Winter Olympic Game. So, to show my appreciation to the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and being a fan of JibJab, I must show you my support to the Games, although I am in the country where these games aren't popular but it will telecast it LIVE. So here it is, my first JibJab video relating to skiing, one of the main sports in the Winter Olympics and winter fun. Enjoy. That's for today.Keep believing in yourself.

Dealing with "Series of Pain".

"I am now living and having experienced this tiny world seventeen years ago from now and there will be many years to proceed but those early experiences in my life made it difficult to my own family due to what I am experiencing now."

2002, two years after the 21st Century arrived in the year 2000, it was totally a great year for me, I assumed and commemorated. I received a lot of recognition throughout the school campus and divisionwide. Yeah, I was the star pupil that year in third grade. I wanted to make my parent proud that year but not enough to garner the first honor merit. So, I brought a lot of books that I needed as in EVERYDAY I brought it behind my backpack to impress them so that I can study and prove that I can make a difference but instead of having a good result, it turned into reverse psychology. It's pretty much hereditary, my dad told me. From his family background way back fifty years ago from now, his family had a serious condition relating the spinal cord area. I was truly conscious of myself that I may have what my grandmother had, who was deceased three years time. I always observed that when I go to the bathroom and take a bath, I truly observed that my left portion of my back is way larger than the other being. My mother said, it just that I have more air in the part because I always sleep blanketless. It satisfies the reasoning in my point of view but everytime I age in everyday I live, it gets worse and worse. Intellect wise, I need to have a will on myself not think of it and instead study and gain more knowledge towards learning.

October 2007, My mother and I went to the Philippine General Hospital, to make sure what's happening and to avoid suspicions. It was founded out that I have "Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis". It was totally horrendous. I am dealing with it, for... I don't know. It's years.

I am too wimp to endure this sicked scoliosis. I am dead serious. If you want to switch lives with me, you will experience a great amount of loss of breath suddenly, you know why? Because my respiratory system, digestive system plus my ribs in my skeletal system is truly compact. Seriously. That's why I don't have the condition to run, to digest firmly et cetera.

In addition, I am also dealing with Goiter, I just wonder when will my life go reversed. From miserable to anointed. I just saw tonight's episode of the 700 Club Asia and a man who had Scoliosis gave another second chance to live through miracles. I just want that to happen as well. Maybe it has to done with religion and faith in God.

So that, I will continue to pursue great habits of studying again. It's not the same when I was in the elementary and High School days since I founded out that I have 55 degrees bended on my back. It's totally hard to experienced it. You thought that in my everyday life it's normal. No, it's truly not. I totally want to be NORMAL someday. The life never ends, it keeps going and going. It's a cycle.

Quote of the day: " The life never ends, it keeps going and going. It's a cycle."

Having a Little Blush on Celebrities Lately...

On the last decade, people usually have their list as their crushes of that said decade. You can mention Britney Spears' name, or Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Lopez. They were totally the dream girls of those men around the world, but this decade has been lopsided all-around. How can you imagine that in this point of time, I am kinda bit obsessed with international celebrities these days.

Well, if you deeply know me, as a person, I am NOT the type of person who mingles with celebrities or following their footsteps through watching them in their shows or going to their gigs and happenings. Of course not but looking at their faces, looks, and image, they are totally look fantastic and followable. I must say, it looks stupid to follow Taylor Swift on Twitter without liking her music because I am more of a Brit Pop and Alternative listener, not an obsessed country listener like most people do most of these days due to her superb influence. Now, I started to watch her video blogs on MySpace and everything, it's just because she is the only music icon that I know who truly loves to share herself to the world freely, not everyone else who doesn't want to socialize with their fans. That's what I loved about her.

Well, she doesn't use Twitter much and follows well-known people but that's just okay, we are just humble fans of hers. It's just that every time I logged-in on every site that I am into, then afterwards, sleeping... Suddenly, I will receive a dream from my imagination of her. Some horrendous, sometimes not, that's what dreams supposed to mean. Again, not a fan of her musicality due to genre preferences. Quite frankly, Blonde people are not in my preference too but she is just totally gorgeous, that change my point of view about blonde people after all. Also, she has followers of approximately two million. That is ten times the many as my city that I am currently living in, also, the many as the citizens in Manila alone. Wow!

I just don't know why am I so obsessed with women that I totally don't recognized a lot. Maybe a great influence of television and Internet will do. Oh well, continue to dream, Ralph. Someday, you will have your crush beside you and have a day with her. Keep dreamin'.

Quote of the day: "Keep Dreamin'!"

Goodbye Slime in 2009, and Hello Jammin' in 2010.

***This following blog was actually written on Facebook on New Year's Eve at 10:05 P.M. (GMT +8)***

Start: 10:05 PM

Well, what a year that was in 2009 probably in the world and in my own experience. There are many things occurred in this year that focused every humankind's attention. Yes, I will summarize them all to you what exactly happened in the year 2009.

First off, we kicked 2009 with a bang by Barack Obama's inaugural speech to be the first Black American President of the United States and to be the 44th President. It is truly part of the history and it was a glorious moment last January 20.

Also, who will forget the H1N1 Epidemic that hit last April in Mexico and after two months, it killed 6, 500 people all over the world including minimum of 50 people killed here in the country.

Also, in this year, we have seen the greatest loss, not only in the music industry, but in the world of humanity. Michael Jackson passed away on June 25 due to cardiac arrest in his house at Los Angeles, CA. The person who truly missed by 6 Billion people around the world. This widespread of love again occurred and the last time this happened was when Elvis Presley died.

On this year alone, more than 60 personalities died this year, including former President Cory Aquino, Sen. Ted Kennedy, Billy Mays, Farrah Fawcett, Alexis Arguello, Vernon Forrest, Arturo Gatti, Johnny Delgado, Francis Magalona, and many, many more.

In this year is the year of prosperity for our businessmen wherein the Global Crisis was surpassed. U.S. Markets rose and as well as the worldwide markets. Oil prices go down and the world markets will regain more points in 2010.

Who will not forget Taylor Swift and Kanye West. Yes, Taylor was truly one of the best artist this year for granting every country listener's wish. To garner more awards in every single music award. Until the VMA's came by. Kanye interrupted Taylor and murmuring that Beyonce is way better than her. Sure pretty embarrassing around there.

In the world of sports, well, Barcelona seems to be the best soccer team so far for garnering 6 awards this year alone, especially the FIFA Gala Award. They got the UEFA Champions League trophy by beating my favorite team, Manchester United, La Liga title and numerous awards for Lionel Messi. It is also the year of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Big Trade occured. The Big 3 transferred to Real Madrid but they were having their problems especially injuries.

Manny Pacquiao had a great year as well. Starting off the year by beating Ricky Hatton devastatingly via 2nd Round KO and a scintillating finish over Miguel Cotto in 12 rounds. By beating Miguel Cotto, he broke boxing history by winning his seventh world title, in seven weight classes, and clinched to one of the All-Time Greats. He's now ready to face Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and it will be one of the big paydays and biggest showdown next year if it occurs but problems regarding Roger's and Floyd's doubts of Manny that he is using steroids. Pacquiao sued them together by defamation.

Kobe and the gang are back and the Lakers back in championship ways by winning the NBA Title for the 15th time, second best achievement after Boston Celtics winning their 17th last 2008. They beat Orlando Magic in six games. Kobe Bryant named the Finals MVP.

Who will forget every Filipino's shocking experience during Ketsana, and Parma's visit in the country. In myself, this will be one of the most traumatic experience in my entire life wherein I was stucked 14 hours inside the bus with no food, no water, no peeing. Ketsana alone had an equivalent of 1-month amount of rainfall, that's why it was easily flooded every street around the whole Luzon area. It was simply signal No. 1 and Parma was in Category No. 5 or Signal No. 4 here in our weather systems.

We ended the year by this Maguindanao Massacre that shocked worldwide media, where the accused Andal Ampatuan Jr. and the rest of Ampatuan clan killed 58 people last November 23, during his rival Toto Mangudadatu sign his certificate of candidacy to face Ampatuan in Maguinadanao for next year's election. 70% of the civilians killed were part of the world of journalism. Tears poured on every Filipino's faces, including and for bring disappointed that now we are known as the nation worst in Iraq and Iran for worldwide journalists. A sad day for all of us.

And that's my Year In Review for 2009 and hope that in 2010 we will give us more prosperity and more peace to each of us. As I write this blog, it's already 10:24 PM, just more than 1 and half hours away till 2010. Fireworks and foods are everywhere.

So,

- Happy New Year to all!

- Manigong Bagong Taon sa ating lahat!

- Hyvää uutta vuotta!

- Chúc mng năm mi!

- Feliz Año Nuevo!

- Buon Anno!

Yours truly,
