Earlier today, I received the news, thanks to CNN, that Osama bin Laden, the leader of the global terrorist group, Al Qaeda, was killed in Attottabad, Pakistan, just 120 miles away from the capital, Islamabad. According to sources, the town Attottabad was actually a populous town, urbanized, with buildings and everything and the American troops were searching in the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan where you can find caves, and stuff where they thought Osama would be but instead, in one of the suburban towns in Pakistan. He lived in a mansion there and this just in, I heard while I am watching the Press briefing and yeah, some laugh time, Osama used a woman shield just to protect himself. ROTFLMAO. He was quickly thrown out at a sea it is merely because that it might cause a huge following by the Muslims there and create a shrine.

A huge euphoria is going on in the United States of America and I can feel it. Actually in my point of view, it is truly justice has been done for them. If you rekindle, Osama was behind the 9/11 bombings in New York where thousands were pronounced dead. At first, I didn't know why Osama did that when I was eating and preparing for school a decade ago. I still remember that when I heard that news. Anyway, every wrongdoing has a definite reason. It's like stealing a candy to a baby. Why did the big child take it? Because he wants it more than the baby does. And so the baby cried. It's like that, I mean, why? Just why? I also learned that there was a certain history about it when I watched CNN. Osama just wanted to have revenge on the United States because the country supported the Soviet Union when it was existed during the 70's where the CIS invaded Afghanistan, Osama's third home after being kicked out and revoked citizenship in Saudi Arabia and forced to leave Sudan.

He totally kept mentioning about that plan since 1998 and three years after, it was truly a happy moment for sure to him. So, that's why and yeah, Americans were truly felt that they have the side of justice. I realized that bin Laden's life is all about revenge. He had a very good life. I mean, his family was rich, millionaires to be exact and he turned back to fight and later became a terrorist and found Al Qaeda. Now, I will not find any video of brains of YouTube anymore because Osama bin Laden is gone for good. Also, Muslims should be happy about this, too. Nothing to be saddened for. Why? Because he is a disgrace in your religion, and I know that Osama has a huge following and I understand that because all what his done is to fight for Muslim's freedom but in a wrong way. Why kill innocent people? Right?

The American troops should be also ashamed that they killed numerous innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan, where they didn't find any traces of Osama where the rumors said that Osama was hiding from those said Gulf countries. Iraq was a mess in early 2000's and up to now where numerous suicide bombings were reported almost like everyday I think but they are getting their freedom step-by-step.

To Osama, however, wherever you are, just look at the Americans right now, rejoicing, I mean, the world is rejoicing. Ecstatic, euphoric, joyful moment. You should've regret those things a long time ago. Well, I must say, that you must go to HELL. Not being harsh but it such that I feel those Americans on what happened and they waited a decade just to claim justice at hand. That's all on how I feel on what just happened to Osama bin Laden.

Bullying.

What a day, not in my life, as in experience, I meant in my Internet life. Well, I usually been in forums in the world of Internet, in certain discussions and you will face argumentative talks and heated discussions and stuff and I am always been sort of bullied by many and I can stand my proposition but there's a saying, "two or more is better than one and that's how it goes. Probably, I should quit visiting forums from now on or probably scout it and not doing the posting from now on.

Yes, hindi maiiwasan but yeah, it's the Internet, the people you don't know saying harsh words and you can't say anything bad back because you are supposed to. Come on, bakit pa papatulan ang immature na taon kung sino man siya. Of course, sabihin nyo na Internet lang yan pero masakit pero pinipilit ko na lang na iwasan at eventually, I will know na tatagal din yan. Natural din yan at makakamove-on din ako. Kahit din naman sa Facebook 'di ba? Guys, when you encounter a friend in a status of misunderestanding, nagiging galit sa isa't isa, doing flaming, spamming at walang patid na parinigan. Kahit nung elementary at high school ako, bullying is still there. They just mocks my physical appaerance, my disabilities and I remember when I watched Glee prior or in the pre-Superbowl 2011 I learned that they are just doing those talking and teasing because they are "cowards". They don't want to be called as "sissy", "gay", "bucktooth", "nerd", "dork" and all of these mockery words.

Oh well. Not being too exaggerative pero this is how I feel about them. Spare them from bullying people mapa-Internet man o kahit sa school, or kahit saan. Buti nandyan si President Obama who stands against bullying.

Maraming taong nagpapakamatay gawa ng bullying but I am not gonna do that of course, who's dumb person would fall for that but it hurts somehow every time you think of it. Mapapagigil ka but oh well, gotta move on and continue to surf online but this time, stay away from those uneducated trolls. I created forum accounts in the first place in order to share interests, similarities and stuff but I think this will change. Goodbye, forum sites and hello, moving on.

JAPAN: Just Always Pray at Nippon

Just shocked. I was just greatly shocked on what happened. You see, when you often heard the news that Japan was hit by an earthquake, you always said to yourself that it's no big deal because they are prepared, construction-wise, and well-organized in terms of what to do and what not to do. They are a developed country and used their garnered status to implement these kinds of preparation because they know that their country is an earthquake-prone one. Like the Philippines, Japan is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and we belong in the so-called Ring of Fire where most active volcanoes found and with different plates.



Saturday afternoon, I was listening to the radio, in FM, while I was listening to some great modern alternative music, they announced that Japan was hit by an earthquake... again. Why again? Because they just hit by a 7.4 magnitude earthquake last March 9, two days after that great 8.9 magnitude earthquake and the powerful tsunami along. When I heard the news, I said to myself, "It's nothing", "Wala lang yan", "Pretty normal to them", pero when I saw on TV lately, I said to myself again, "Oh. My. God." I just remembered that my cousin is in Japan right now and I wonder how she's doing right now. I just merely wonder and yeah, even everything famous in Japan you know was questioned for the likes of Maria Ozawa, the Pokémon animation team and other famous persons I know in Japan.

The rice field turned into a debris field, a pile of junk, a wave full of cars, roofs, houses, everything washed away in Sendai in Miyagi prefecture. Many lives lost and a long term of recovery ahead of them unless if every country pledge some assistance to them. If you notice the family picture below, you will be touched after seeing this picture on the aftermath. It's like where are these two Japanese after the quake and tsunami? Reminds me when I watched Anderson Cooper 360 yesterday and he saw a wedding picture. You read or know that kind of feeling? Pure grief. Where are there two or the others? Just take a look.



Added to that is the continuing blast in four of the nuclear power plants near the Miyagi prefecture. It is very dangerous to get near the nuclear power plants, it'll cause more casualties. That's why the world is asking again, should we put nuclear power plants in your respective countries? There are other ways to get power in my opinion, we should not rely on the nuclear power plants.Just pure chaos right now in Japan.



I am just so shocked and I didn't expect this to happen, actually everyone of us didn't expect this to occur at all. Majority of us can only do to help Japan recover is to send their prayers to the victims, and to the entire nation of Japan. We a catholic country after all. So, my sympathy and prayers to island nation of Japan.

Well, it was 6 years before I was born, there was a huge change in the people's eyes that they see the future will be bright and to see that future was for Marcos to step down after 21-year reign. They were tired of poverty, of corruption, of stealing, of conniving, and all of that. It was a peaceful protest, yellow everywhere and it all ended as part of history that used to be followed by other countries such as Germany, Czech Republic and the recent Egypt. Bahrain, Yemen and Libya continues to do the same thing but yeah, it's sort of violent compared to our revolution that the world saw first. Democracy.



I wasn't born before 1986 but since I was a kid, I know the true story of what happened from the 1980's up to the day of EDSA I Revolution. It was all about Ninoy vs. Ferdinand. Ninoy had to sacrifice his life for the good of the country and yet, this country is a free country.

I just want to ask one thing though, after 25 years of making history, what happened to our country after 5 administrations. Did we obtain the "change" that we were looking for 25 years ago? Yes, four administrations tried but I must say, the possibility is in its little chance. Yes, the peso is higher, inflation rate goes on a rose, major commodities in all-time high, tuition fees in a major uprising, and stuff. It just worsen what the Philippines was before. Two pesos is to one U.S. dollar, 2nd most advanced country in the 1960's next to Japan, low prices of the major commodities and all of that.

If we try to commemorate what just happened 25 years ago, we can still remember that we fought for it and we continue to fight for it. I was referring to the major problems we need to surpass, for the sake of our people and our Motherland.



Well, if you have dreams you want to obtain, or changes you want for our country for the good of the many, why don't you just be inspired and take a look at the EDSA Shrine. Just imagine how hundreds and thousands of people rushed for one goal. Democracy and Change.

Thank God I Am A Filipino!

So, it's Valentine's Day today and yeah this week is much of my exciting week for me and I don't know if this week will be as exciting as the weeks coming, especially the birthday week for the common types. So, this recent week I am describing is the rise of Philippine football as I watch the Azkals in action. Grabe, all Filipinos have that football fever and as an avid fan of the sport which I witnessed games from my favorite club, Manchester United, the 2010 World Cup and more, I am proud that we, the football crazies of the Philippines, will not hide from basketball crazies which are the dominator in the sports fan nation.



We always see jerseys of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and the never-ending jerseys from SK competitions. I love basketball, actually, it's one of my first sports to love but suddenly, I found football and the fans are nuts for goals and I found it entertaining. I see that basketball fans don't like football because it's 90 minutes of waiting for goals compared to basketball, they score easily and fast-paced. Pinoys like pacing games, like boxing and basketball and when they watched the Azkals, in sari-sari stores, in tricycle stations or terminals, where a normal basketball fan is found here, probably, they see the beauty of football and I see the sport growing and yeah, probably some group of children playing the sport where the mini basketball courts used to be. I am proud that I love football and I am all football. That's why I am wearing my jersey every Sunday to go to the Church and eventually to the mall and people chatting about my jersey like they say, "Hey, that's the latest sponsor of Manchester United, AON." Not out loud but murmuring and I was like, yeah, I saw some football fans around and I am proud about it. Even Koreans noticed it for they are hardcore football fans themselves. Come on, Park Ji-Sung is one of the fullbacks of MANU and is a Korean himself.



I see Neil Etheridge as one of the force in Pinoy football for he is with Fulham, one of the elite clubs in the English Premier League now. For basketball fans, it's like the most watched football league, like your NBA. I see football a growing sport and thanks to the Azkals win over Viet Nam in the AFF Suzuki Cup last December, the fan bases are continue to grow until we make it to the World Cup (hopefully).

First "A" is the word "Azkals" and the second "A" this week is "Arcade Fire". I am a huge fan of Arcade Fire. Why? Because their music is totally unique. I easily understand the meaning each of the tree albums they have as of now (Funeral, Neon Bible, and The Suburbs) although the songs are way deep and compared to mainstream music of today, it's easy to understand because the message is direct and I don't like that. I mean, they sing "love me", "you're the one", "I'll not choose, only you", I mean that's the common words I hear in most R n'B songs.



For "Funeral", the album means of a tragedy in the building between the neighborhood. As for "Neon Bible", it expresses the anger to adults. They face strict people and want liberation and as for their latest album "The Suburbs", I feel that this album is their best because of its unique concept, they feature the suburban teenagers of America today, involving them is drugs, early teenage pregnancy, and fraternity wars. Anyway, "The Suburbs" received hichly-acclaimed reviews from different music organization including Pitchfork Media and Billboard which they put the album as the Top 2 Album of the Year 2010. Because of these achievements, "The Suburbs" is one of the nominees for "Album of the Year" and Arcade Fire will face the mainstream stars Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Eminem, and Lady Antebellum. They are huge underdogs, I meant of Arcade Fire but I am confident that they will bag the gold.

Go Azkals and Arcade Fire.

Well, I don't why pictures of good looking women always catching my attention. It's like when you see them, Cupid is near you and practice target-shooting using his bow and arrows. So, it's "Love Month" all-over again and as usual, I am single, probably because I am shy of girls or I don't know, just not used to hang with them, lack of interest similarities, that's why I think. That's why I am stuck at being single and that's why I have thirst of "girls" all of a sudden. I mean, you know, meeting one, especially if she's gorgeous. Well, I have cited some extraordinary women lately and yeah, you know the feeling of you wanna be one of "their" friends and you wish that you were born to know them or reincarnate into the person that used to be one of their best friends to actually know their interest and probably end up as her boyfriend "for life"? I am always imagining it. For real. Having my fantasies with them. Oh darn.

Anyway, I have a list of "these" people. Probably my Top 5 women that I want to be friends with probably not only by their good looks, but also we had some similarities, in music for instance or probably, I have this "love at first sight" thing.

5. Kim Yu-Na



-Well, she's cute and it all started when I was watching the Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010 and yeah, I heard much of her in 2009 but never saw her until that day where she skated the whole routine with majesty and beauty. It's like "whoa", this girl has something. Well, I am not condemning Koreans probably because I hate their Korean Pop music, but I think the women are mostly good-looking.

4. Taylor Swift



-Hmmm... I maybe not be a fan of country music but I do like her good looks and we are both bloggers. I admire her blogging style and I am considering her a popular person due to her music like the most of us do. She likes to reach to her fans by expressing herself through her songs (that are quite controversial due to her previous relationships that makes me jealous all the time) and also to her blogs, some video blogs are quite addictive to watch probably because she has videos that she mostly don't do in public like running, playing basketball and more. That's why I am one of her followers, not on her music (Well, I am trying to be), but followers of her blogs. Plus, she covered one of my favorite Coldplay's songs, "Viva La Vida" probably because she is a huge Coldplay fan and yeah, an influence, one of her influences.

3. Anne Curtis/Rhian Ramos/Gretchen Fullido







-A triple tie. Can't decide whose greater or vice-versa so I decided to rank them into a single position that will make them equal to each other and yes, different personalities. First, to Anne, probably I love her fashion statement daily and yeah, every clothes that she wear always used to trend everybody and good for her. We used to have the same taste in music. I mean, she likes independent music especially, electropop, synthpop, I'll just sum up that she likes Alternative music like I do. There. She's so ecstaticly beautiful. A single tweet of her will make me happy but so far, none. Probably, she has many followers on Twitter, the most followed Filipino user I think. Rhian, hmmm... she does look alike Taylor if she puts a blonde wig and some blue contact lenses. There. She's also cute and yeah, attractive. Gretchen, hmmm.... she's beautiful but not that as I call "sexy" but "busty" and we both like sports. It's rare to see a woman who is actually into sports. Basketball, Football, everything. She even tweeted me that she loves Cristiano Ronaldo, it's like what? Ronaldo's abs? Hahaha.

2. Victoria Justice



-She's my recent "love at first sight" person, whatever. She's at my same age group, cute, and yeah, she's so hot and good at singing. I just wish that she, you know, tweeted me. How ironic, if I want to meet that girl, I just wish to request a tweet, because it's impossible. She's half-Latina and one of my types probably she's half-Latina and everything. She's stunning and likes Coldplay. Why do I kept emphasizing on Coldplay anyway? It's not music talk here. LOL.

1. Sam Pinto



-Long time follower of her since her Pinoy Big Brother days. Damn, long story about her. I like reality shows because this is my "search engine" for gorgeous women, like PBB for instance and I found Cathy Remperas and her as my bets because they were stunning. After that, I started to follow her. Stalk her and even my sister and my friends know that I am so addicted to this lady. I don't know if Sam have some "agimat" or "gayuma" on every men that's why tons of opportunities she had. Commercials, movies, acting programs, guest appearances and stuff. She was like rise on the top, out of nowhere. I am always super happy when we tweet each other last year and the last tweet I received from her as of now was on my birthday and I was so darn happy about it. She even made a fansign for me. Oh darn, how I loved it. I just wish that we meet each other and probably become friends. I envy some her friends that i wish I could be one of them, as regular friends.

What a kick to start my year and it's been awhile since I blogged months ago. Well, I guess I just skipped what happened on my Christmas and how I end the year with a bang, probably because... ahh, long story but I sense that I will have a good year. Being optimistic but, you'll never tell what will happen to your future. On the topic then. Last Sunday, January 9th, I saw a kid wearing a Manchester United home jersey while on a Sunday Mass was on-going. I was quite distracted and looking on that kid. I am not an Atheist, quite religious but that was the most distracting mass I've ever attended on.


My mother heard me murmuring about that shirt and she said that I am the kind of guy who doesn't wish to them things, so, guess what? They helped me find that shirt all over the mall after the mass and jackpot. I have this on and it is perfect because on that day was a Manchester United home game in The Theatre of Dreams, Old Trafford and yeah, Liverpool was our opponent.


Can't help myself to scream and chant, that's how a football game should work if you're a fan and we won. easy work for Ryan Giggs and it was my dream to wear a Manchester United jersey for I am a four years fan of United and I am continue to follow them. From the Beckham days to the Rooney and Berbatov era. I wanna be a Mancurian so bad.
