between the headlines

• on manny and krista issue. these were the golden rules of men that i heard from sir willy and sir derrick when we visited calatagan.

• the eleventh commandment: wag kang magpapahuli

• and the twelveth: pag nahuli ka, wag kang aamin.

• on maguindanao massacre
• hindi ko talaga mawari ang nasa utak ng taong may kagagawan nun. akalain mo, hindi lang nya inutos ang pagpapapatay. nandun mismo sya nung nangyari yun. nandun sya na sumalubong at nagpahinto sa unang sasakyan. andun sya na may hawak din na baril. madaling mag- utos. madaling magpakawala ng mga salita. madali ding magtago at bawiin ang mga yun pag tinutugis ka na. pero paano mo magagawa yun kung ikaw mismo ang nakita kasama ng mga armadong militar na bumaril sa mga sibilyan? ang lakas ng loob nya na ituro pa sa iba ang krimen na kanyang nagawa gayong mga witness na mismo ang nagpatotoo na nandun sya.
• ang pinaka kinasasama ng loob ko sa pangyayaring yun, ay ang pagsunod ng mga militar sa politiko na yun. di ba nila alam ang tungkulin nila? di ba nila alam na sibilyan ang dapat nilang protektahan? sana hindi sila nagpagamit. sana din, katulad ng amo nila, maparusahan din lahat ng may kagagawan sa pagpaslang, militar man o private security group ng taong yun. lahat sila dapat magdusa.
  
• at ang kapal naman nya na mag request ng hospital-arrest. wala kang sakit sa katawan. sa utak meron. mabulok ka jan sa kulungan. che!

discovery for the week

1. i am having insomnia recently. this is so not good coz it's killing my schedule. i dont get enough time in the morning to jog and read coz i am sleeping when i am supposed to be awake. And CONCENTRATING to sleep is freaking me out.

2. confirmed! Oprah's ending her show on it's 25th year (which will be next year). awww... hope she comes up with another one.

3. weddings weddings and many more weddings on the run. it was the goddess's civil wedding yesterday. i just learned the church wedding's gonna follow next month. there's another wedding set for early december which i have to attend to. too many weddings. can't take this anymore. need lots of moolah lest my christmas gift's gonna suffer. anyone need's a reliever?

4. this really shocked me. i just saw photos of an animal in a zoo and i really had a hard time figuring out what kind of animal it is. i was a biologist and sure saw lots of animals (from books and for real) but i can't seem to distinguish the poor thing. kaya naman pala, there's something lacking.



did you guess what it is? it is a photo of a balding bear taken from a zoo in Leipzig (san ba yun?). surprisingly, the females were the only ones getting bald. vets are still baffled by the mysterious condition inflicting those cute and (supposedly) hairy creatures. what really concerns me though is that they should be growing thicker fur by now to protect them from the cold winter. i hope the vets get a heater at least so as not to let those poor animals perish.

oil going gone?

another bad news. news said we will ran out of oil supplies after two weeks. the oil companies are blaming the EO released by the president to regulate the prices of basic commodities after the big flood struck manila in september. i do get the intention of the president but oil prices has gone up in the world market and the oil companies cannot anymore sustain the inflation and so this resulted. its really not good news that this is happening when it is only 44 days left before christmas. i do pray we can get pass this. i do pray that the people will not panic and start hoarding gas because this will only aggravate the situation. i do hope that the government will come up with a better solution to this problem. and i do hope we all get a happy christmas after all.

i hate you, hackers!!!

bad news. my FB account has been hacked. kamusta naman yun. my contacts were receiving wall posts from "me" with a link on an unknown twitter account. heck. i don't even twitter. so what do i do now?

first, i tried to contact FB to settle this issue. i have to commend FB for being so organized. they have ready answers for different case scenarios. all you have to do is to click buttons to get to what you are looking for. the first instruction required me to change my password which i did. and then i have to run an anti-virus- now that is a problem. i do not have an anti-virus in my laptop. do mac already get virused these days? hope not. hay. i just downloaded security update. hope that helps.

so to all my friends who get those crap messages in FB from "me", please ignore them. i really hope that this issue will be resolved in no time.

my early christmas wishlist

malapit na ang pasko! at dahil jan, naisipan ko na maglagay na ng wishlist ko. puro material things lang ang nasa listahan na ito kase gusto ko sana yung mailalagay ko sa ilalim ng christmas tree. syempre wish ko din na magkaroon world peace at sana magkaroon ng masayang pasko ang mga nasalanta ng nagdaang mga bagyo.
sa post na ito, hayaan nyo na muna ang batang paslit na katulad ko na humiling kay santa. dahil kahit ano pa man, naniniwala pa din ako na may santa claus na makakabasa nito:

my wishlist this christmas:
1. panasonic lumix DMC-lx3
- this one should not be on the list because im going to have it soon. yehey!!! it will be considered as an early christmas present.

2. hello kitty cell phone

- oh i want it ruhley bahhd. i saw this from one of my favorite blogs and i admit i stared at it for 5 whole minutes. i love pink. i love hello kitty. and i like this new phone.

3. mac time capsule or an external hard disk drive with 1-2 terrabyte capacity
- this will really really help a lot especially for my memory space needs

4. nikon d90
- ohhhkkkkaaaay, i must admit i am slowly becoming a convert. i think im beginning to like those long nosed dSLR cameras. so for the love of the art, i want this one!


5. a headband from classic sparkles

- classic sparkles creates beautiful accessories and hair pieces made from semi precious stones. their designs are all in free hand so no item sold are identically the same.

6. sun jar from quirks novelties and curiosities in rockwell



- i bet none of my closest friends know this, i don't sleep alone in my room at night without a light on. there's always a lamp or a night light beside my bed. it will be very economical and earth friendly for me to use one of these since my lamp is turned on for 8 to 9 hours depending on the length of my sleep. imagine the energy and money i will be able to conserve for let's say a month of using this! and i learned it also comes in different colors. yay! you don't have to guess what color i wanted hehe.

the light in the sun jar lasts for about five hours.


Santa, sana po matupad ang mga wish ko ngayong pasko.
thanks, bro!

Amihan

im a self confessed lover of windy days. hanging Amihan is here already and i love the feel of it's cool breeze on my skin. it's days like this that makes me want to go out for a long walk even in midday. it also reminds me of tagaytay and christmas.


more on hanging amihan, according to wikipedia,

Amihan refers to the season dominated by the trade winds, which are experienced in the Philippines as a cool northeast wind. It is characterized by moderate temperatures, little or no rainfall, and a prevailing wind from the east.

As a general rule of thumb, the Philippines' Amihan weather pattern begins sometime in September or October and ends sometime in May or June. There may, however, be wide variations from year to year.

In culture,
Amihan is a bird in the Philippine mythology. According to the Tagalog folklore, Amihan is the first creature to inhabit the universe, along with the gods called Bathala and Aman Sinaya. In the legend, Amihan is described as a bird who saves the first human beings, Malakas and Maganda from a bamboo plant. ------>>;">aha! sya pala yun.
