INSIDE THE NEWS: LAST YEAR & TODAY

1. August 23, 2010 - The world renowned bus-hostage drama in Luneta Park. Turned out to be an hours (literally hours - more than 12 hours) of action-heart breaking story.

2. Barely one year when SWAT trended the social networks and topped the headlines for it's new name: Sorry Wala Akong Training, Sugod Wait Atras Tago, Sana Wag Akong Tamaan et cetera.

3. Apology! Hong Kong government seeks for an apology. But, Malacanang says: "Sorry, we can't afford to say our apologies!"

4. Malacanang sends it's sole apologies: PNOY won't be able to hear the solidarity and peace mass held at Luneta Park in commemoration of the hostage tragedy. He will be busy attending the newest 46 year old Philippine naval warship expected to glance the Philippine seas today from California.

A HAVEN CALLED MANILA

A kalesa fronting sunset view of Manila bay. A memorabilia of the Spanish conquest in the Philippines. The mode of transportation of nobles and high-ranked officials in those times. But now for poor people trying to earn for living just to excite tourists.

And you will find it in Manila. 

They call this place a haven. Why? Bakit nga ba?

1. Incomparable to the streets of San Francisco, rides of Disneyland and even to the girls you could have dated in Sydney. Simply, those places are clean and fun, too far from Manila. Here you'll aquire asthma, skin rushes,  allergies and you tremble while walking along the streets of Manila.

A place they keep on coming back. Wow Philippines! Pilipinas kay ganda! There's no place like Manila. 

2. So true, please refer to the statement above. 

People love Manila. 

3. Kobe Bryant loves Manila, he loves the people in Manila at least. Though most people hate the Lakers.

4. Paris Hilton just recently arrived and even planned her next visit to this place even though she hasn't left yet and lost her personal gadgets. Hindi pa siguro nadala. Maybe on her third or fourth visit she'll realize it. 

There are those who hate!

5. Poor and unlucky are those Chinese tourists from Hong Kong, they're are innocents and victims of one individual's insanity and a flanking performances of rescuers, men in power so to speak. Bet, the survivors keep cursing Manila and those in authority.

The capital factor. 

6. Yes! It capitalizes prostitution, it's getting hotter in here. 

7. Growing molestation cases, the least thing they could do when they feel hot and they don't want to do all alone by themselves. 

8. Drug addiction and supplication, it has become a fad. You're not in, if you're not into it.

9. Hold-upping and car-napping, the second largest business after BPO industries. Easy money!

But, Why do the people keep on staying in Manila? 

10. A mild music to their ears - ang ingay sa kalye at kapitbahay.

11. Nag-gagandahang mga babae! No wonder lesbianism is getting larger in number and prostitution is getting rampant either. 

12. Inspired by the movie Slum Dog Millionaire, they're risking life staying in slum areas. That's how some people think, they always connect their miserable lives to those who have gone through it.

13. Nagliliparang mga jeepney, pati mga bus na din. Top daily news maker if not for road crashes and mishaps, killings along the hi-way. Well commended drivers! Go to hell!

oOo

The place where you started your little steps was your foreground to the larger ones.

WHY?

WHY DON'T THEY STOP SMOKING?

1. They want to die with noble death! Hello, cancer yan - sakit ng mga sosyal at mayayamang tao. Damn, they don't want to die because of hunger. Kahit walang mabiling pagkain basta't may yosi lang. Sulit na ang araw.

2. Smoking rocks and roll. That's the co-substance of one's soul - rockers rule! Punks not dead. Once you puff, you will puff all the time. Rock rulez! Astig to mga pare! Isang sindi pa nga!

3. It has been a constant companion of someone who always stays alone. It's more than the love of their life. Without it they will die - Hanep ang lalim! - with it their lives are led to the so-called death. They do prefer death than dying. 

4. Others do find it as their refuge. Wow, problemado? Definitely smoking will never ever leave them, it happens otherwise. Like the statement above, its the best of their best friends. They can laugh with! They cry alone with it! They drink and get drunk with it. They fart with it. They drink coffee with it. The light and the smokes are hell yeah the only things that understand them.

What's the danger of it?

5. It's not the dying part as a consequence. But the possibility of choosing cigarette-smoking over your wife or your husband.

THE NAKED TRUTH

FILIPINO POP-CULTURE

The good thing:

1. Filipino's are globally known for their culture - hospitable tayo! A character of being a filipino wherever he/she is. Just to mention. Such quality marks as indelible to every filipino - the so-called foreign observation. Sa tagalog - masarap 'yong pritong tapa - bagay sa itlog at sinangag - tapsilog. 

No reason for one to be proud of being it - tunay na pilipino.Kayumanggi ito.

The bad thing:

2. On the other hand, as part of imperfection, filipinos are marked of being: Money Magnets.

It's all about the money, money, money... All they need is your money, money, money...

When they have the money - they just want the world dance, they forget about the price tag.

3. Because of money, corruption is present to those who are in the position - it ain't about the cha-ching, cha-ching.

4. Hell yeah, atrocities existed because of money - it ain't about the ba-bling, ba-bling.

5. Money can prove who you are - Proclamation of a non-elected official to its position - look at PGMA, Migs and the rest of it's friends.

6. Money can even change. 100% change! From pre-owned to brand new. Mike Arroyo attests - That's true!

7. Damn, that money - it makes the world dance, yeah! You see, Garci gracefully danced! Until now, he still know the steps.

-The Arroyo's-

8. But, one thing hard for money to move - spinal operation! It takes more than once or even twice. Well, we call it the PRIZE! Now, Gloria got her prize!

oOo

One sad thing about it, if you don't have money, even your relatives don't recognize you.

Thats a big B*LL SH*T!

oOo

Praising mammon equates serving the other god, the devil.

THE P's OF THEIR LIVES!

WHAT'S WITH THE LETTER P?

 The Arroyo's struggle with the P's of their lives:

POE: The haunting Poe in the lives of the Arroyo's. It could have been the Presidency of the late actor Fernando Poe, Jr, if not of their manipulation during the elections. Using P, the Arroyos' shouting, p*tang ina kayo. Kami nanalo sa eleksyon. Bilangin nyo pa ang mga balota.

PNOY: Another haunting in the lives of the Arroyo's. A never ending phenomenon of searching PGMA's ka-walang hiyaan during her reign as president. One fact: It will never end, time is not enough to count PGMA's malpractices as the head of the republic.

PO: Another one bites the dust. Another tension in the lives of the first couple. Another sets of surgery to be undergone by the sweet couple. Good luck for you endeavors! Enjoy the surgery.

Well the only thing that they could say:

P*kyu kayo!

P*tang ina nyo!

oOo

The greatest thing that could haunt you to death is you conscience.

ARCHITECTURE OF A FEMALE BODY

THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD

This is a sample of the architect's drawing plate for female bodies.

No complications and very comprehensible.

This is a reflection of how the human mind works. More than God?

It's only now that a female human body can be architectured!

A perfect architecture. A perfect body. And a perfect female body.

Thus its a perfect appropriation of the 'word'.
