ever felt wanting to detest someone because you know that someone is causing someone to be in tears in silence amidst the smile and music, yet feeling so, would also mean you know you will hurt someone who is getting hurt

March-to-mayhem

IT is November in Manila, days before the deadline for filing candidacies. On Monday, Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada with 11 other senators signed Resolution 1472 absolving Sen. Manuel Villar Jr. of ethical charges in connection with the C-5 Road extension project, long before a committee report was officially released by the Senate.

On Tuesday, Senator Estrada confirmed he had accepted Senator Villar’s offer to join the Nacionalista party as a guest candidate. “We have the same stand on important issues.”

On Wednesday, Estrada pulled out his signature from Resolution 1472, because of the timing of the resolution’s release. “You know, people might say that I accepted the offer of the NP as a guest candidate in exchange for my signature of that particular resolution.”

On Friday, Senator Estrada pulled out from the Nacionalista slate, “because a lot of people are speculating that I am turning my back from my father’s Puwersa ng Masang Pilipino.” Estrada says that he continues to “value’’ Villar as a “friend.’’

“People might say,” says Estrada. “People are speculating.” Odd remarks for a man who seems to have no compunction about what “people might say” about his political seesawing. Perhaps he does not feel “people might say” there is anything wrong with making decisions and changing decisions of national import based on personal whim, especially decisions that supposedly manifest some personal conviction. Of course he believes Villar is innocent, of course Villar is “a friend,” but he will withdraw his support anyway, because the politically motivated resolution he signed now appears politically motivated.

Estrada is not the only politician afflicted with abrupt epiphanies.

In 2001 Sen. Loren Legarda condemned Joseph “Erap” Estrada, cried at what she believed was a travesty of justice during his failed impeachment hearing, and walked along Edsa at the head of a flock ousting Erap.

In 2004, she ran for vice president with the Erap-nominated Fernando Poe Jr. with Erap’s support.

In 2008, as senator, she supported the ouster of then Senate President Manny Villar, following the C-5 double-insertion controversy, and criticized his unwillingness to participate in the Senate probe. Last Monday, she signed Resolution 1472 absolving Villar long before a committee report had been released on the probe, following the announcement that she would run as his vice president.

Marcos’ son Bongbong also took shelter under the generous Villar banner, joining anti-Marcos party-list congressmen who had long been campaigning for compensation to human rights victims during martial law. Villar sees nothing wrong with this. “It’s known that we can’t agree on all issues, we just need to keep this in mind. All of us, the important thing is our love for the poor, our desire to eradicate poverty, and the need to unify all sectors.”

For his part, Marcos agreed with Villar’s statement saying that as long as all candidates under the NP agree and that the foundation of their candidacy is helping the poor, then they are “committed and ready to fight this fight.”

The same grand welcome was extended by Sen. Noynoy Aquino and his Liberal Party to former Sen. Ralph Recto, an administration stalwart and Arroyo apologist—an odd phenomenon in a party claiming to herald the end to traditional politics. Recto had run under the administration ticket in 2007 and lost, and now claims he was invited into the Aquino-Roxas fold. That LP’s Sergio Osmeña III took a principled stand against welcoming the former socioeconomic secretary and his superstar wife apparently made little dent in the party’s decision, another decision that put premium on showbiz over substance. Now Osmeña is out, but the party is still united. After all, theirs also is a party whose main goal is “addressing poverty and decency in government.”

The administration party, suddenly barren of all the President’s men, pulled in television host Edu Manzano. Administration standard-bearer Gilbert Teodoro now claims they are still strong and united by the fight against poverty. “To ensure the people’s exercise of their human rights, he said he would address the four faces of poverty: Poverty of the mind, poverty of the pocket, poverty of the environment and the poverty of relationships.”

And so the horse-trading and chair-switching go on, with little loss of face. There are no loyalties, there are no colors, because no matter what “people might say,” they are all united in a grand commitment to end poverty and bring back good governance, all in the service of the Filipino nation.

It is November, and carols are tinkling away in shopping mall elevators. It is the season of bouncing checks and bad promises, of neon stars glowing along cracked concrete bridges, of cold rain falling on girls with glitter-blue eyelids cocking bare legs in plastic heels at Quezon Avenue traffic. Morning show hosts shriek Christmas countdowns, while stores are robbed accordingly with every day closer to the holidays. A taxi driver was held up for his watch and belt, and a Filipino-Chinese father with a bullet in his back crashed his van a block away from Ospital ng Maynila, after he and his family were waylaid in Parañaque.

It is possible, at this time, for a 44-year-old housewife to be shot in the face two blocks from her home by a teenager for the P700 in her handbag. Merry Christmas, deck the halls, watch your step, don’t walk in the dark.

It is November, and this is Manila, slapped by wind, drowned by rain, scraping mud off baby shoes while televisions blare with news of 2010’s candidates playing musical chairs. Watch them dance; hear them sing. Blink, and the dancers change. Blink, and the music breaks. Thirty-three days to Christmas, a hundred sixty-five to the grand new day. See the blinking lights; hear the beating drum. This is the promise of 2010.

Reaching For You

I can't believe the way
Your love has got a hold on me
Each morning I wake to find You near
You lift me above my fears
And set my feet on solid ground
All of my days belong to You

And I breathe in Your breath of life that fills my heart
You are my all consuming fire

I stand here before You
In wide opened wonder
Amazed at the glory of You
The power of heaven
Revealing Your purpose in me
As I'm reaching for You"

just blessed to be able to hear and sing it again

WBO welterweight championship

Manny Pacquiao won a world title in a record seventh weight division in Las Vegas last night, stripping Miguel Cotto of his defences and his WBO welterweight championship belt with a performance that cemented the Filipino's reputation as one of the finest boxers of this or any other generation.

in His pursuit of me

For me, every community conference allows one, if one allows, to face his/her deepest, inner self
Part of oneself which one does not know, knows but does not face, either because one is scared or just have pushed it aside

For some reason, I know in myself among all the conferences I have been, this is the most I was most honest with myself and to Him
All my joys, my fears, my unrighteousness in thoughts and deeds, my desires

Even my inability to surrender and just being afraid to take His every lead...

In the amidst of each word spoken by my heart...the glory of His love, embracing me
is just so powerful

Nothing can describe and define the joy that the beauty of His love can bring...

Philippians 3:12 - “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.”

A Leaders' Commitment - DIE for CHRIST

What does it mean to die for Christ? It is different for each person, but let me tell you what it means to me?

It means forcing myself to do the last thing I want to do.

It means to push myself when I want to quit.

To stop when I want to go.

To share my faith when inadequecy prevails.

It means to let God take control of the uncontrollable.

To learn to submit.

I must always consider the consequence to the action.

I push my natural self away and allow this foreign person to come inside.

Always fighting to control some emotion that I know should not have been there in the first place.

It means searching for something that is not always easy to find.

Staying home instead of going out.

It is allowing myself to have less friends in order to find the right ones.

It is trying to be strong when I feel weak.

It means taking the ridicule of "educated" people for a faith not easy to describe.

It is walking forward into sometimes blurry future.

It means to get up, walk on, and persevere when all I want is rest.



But it also means to find joy that can't be stolen, to finally have a reason to live, to have a promise that this too shall pass.

To have a continual best friend.

Someone that grants me safety, friends, food, the ability to love.

I have been carried more than I have walked, held more than I've been pushed.

I have received more than I have sacrificed.


What does it mean to die for Christ?

To me, it's a chance to live.

Prayer for Empowerment (for Leaders)

Thank you, Lord, for this beautiful day when you call each and everyone of us to a renewed commitment in our service to You.

Thank you for making us realize that in order for us to move on, to be closer to you, we can no longer fence-sit and procrastinate on major decisions that affect our lives.

Help us, Lord, make a decision to LOVE - to give love without reserve; to offer love even when aggrieved; to love without expecting to be loved in return.

Help us, Lord, make a decision to be HAPPY - to take joy in our lives no matter what crosses we carry; to be happy without envious reserve in others' good fortune; to be simply fulfilled in the fact that we have You.

Help us, Lord, make a decision to EXCEL - whether in our relationships, in our career or in our service - wherever You call us to serve. Help us to offer the best of our time, the best of our talent, and the best of our treasure knowing that all of these are yours, now and forever, even before You gifted us with them.

Lord, we come before Your Holy Presence today to ask your empowerment knowing that it is You who love, You who give, and You who bless.

May your empowerment bring PEACE to our lives, the kind that comes from taking risks of loving.

May it bring us HAPPINESS, the kind that comes from just knowing, loving, and serving You.

May bring us CONTENTMENT, the kind that comes from surrendering all that we are, for all that You want us to be.

All these we pray O Father in the Mightly name of Your Son Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with the You and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Paano na lang kung umiwas na siya? Di mo pa rin ba aaminin na nasasaktan ka na?

V: oo naman.... pwede mong aminin sa mga kaibigan pro wag sa kanya.... dying to self ang drama mo dpat....

i want a FAJUT-OCAMPO-MERCADO conversation
them conversing, me listening!
argh!

di ko alam kung bakit...pero parang me kulang...

di ko alam kung bakit...pero parang me kulang...

mabuti pa ang halo halo at espesyal pa din ito kahit wala nang ice cream na nakapatong sa yelo na hahaluin mo. pero kahit papaano eh natutunan ko na masarap palang lagyan ng puso ng saging ang kare kare, sabagay wala naman sa sarap ng pagkain kundi sa kung paano ito inihanda at kung sa paano nagustuhan ng pinaghandaan mo. malalamn mo kaya na bukas ay karugtong lang ng kasalukuyan kung di mo ito bibigyan ng pansin?mabuti nalang at nasabi kong mga kaibigan ang nasa tabi ko ng biglang nanghina ang mga paa ko at nasabi kong gusto kong magpahinga saglit, inakay nalang nila ako pagkatapos nilang nalaman na napagod din pala ako sa paglalakbay. buti nalang at padapit hapon na ng tumigil kami saglit, di bale at natanaw naman namin ang liwanag nung kinaumagahan bago kami nagpatuloy sa paglalakbay.

natawa minsan ang mga kaibigan ko nung sabihin ko na "ang tao ay ginawa para mag-astang tao"...di lang nila nakuha ang gusto kong sabihin..hahaha..kakatuwa pero sambit ng isa kong kapatid na gabriela ay ang lalim mo kapatid!!! kasalanan ko bang maging malalim kung pinapairal mong maging mababaw? di mo lang gustong alamin ang kasagutan ng mga nabigkas na salita dahil malamang ay masasaktan ka sa kung ano ang kasagutan nito. Ok lang ang masaktan ka lalo na kung ang dahilan ay ang paghawak mo ng katotohanan. wag mo lang hawakan ng madiin dahil baka maputol na ang mga palad mo... me mga mas importante pang bagay na dadapo sa palad mo... ang mahalaga ay nalaman mo kung paano pahalagahan ang mga bagay na sa tingin mo ay bahagi ng buhay mo at importante sa iyo.

ilang libong katao na ang dumaan sa tabi mo pero ilang tao lang ang nabigyan mo ng pansin..oras ay iginugol mo dito pero di ka nanghinayang dahil alam mong masaya ka sa ginagawa mo. ang sarap balikan ang mga nakaimbak na memorya sa utak na magulo lalo na kung ang mga ito ay nagdulot sa iyo ng kasiyahan. wag ka lang tumawa ng malakas dahil pede kang makaistorbo sa mga natutulog na katabi mo. gising kaya sila nung nagkakasiyahan kayo o nagtutulog tulugan lang at ayaw nila alamin na ang mundo ay umiikot?

isa lang ang alam ko, tapos na ang panahon ng black and white.. colored na ang mga tv ngayon.. pipili ka nalang kung kapamilya o kapuso ang papanuurin mo.di ba kaya nga ginawang makulay ang NIPS dahil pati manufacturer ay gustong maging colored ang buhay mo. ang siste eh ikaw mismo ang nagbubura ng kulay dahil mas gusto mo ang chokolateng nakalagay sa loob nito.

masakit kaya ang magpatattoo..pero mas masakit pala kung sasabihin ng iba na mukhang kriminal at adik ang mga me tattoo..magmumukha ka namang tanga kung tatangapin mo ito! wala naman sa kung ano ang nakalagay sa katawan ng tao, ang importante ay kung ano ang nasa loob nito lalo na sa tumitibok na siyang dahilan ng pagdaloy ng dugo mo. pero kahit pa anong linis ng puso mo kung di mo naman ito naipapakita at naipapadama sa iba..magiging kapareho lang din ito ng cd na pinirata na tumatalbog talbog pagkatapos gamitin ng ilang beses.pero mababaw kung ang gagawin lang nilang basehan ng pagkatao mo ay kung ano ang pisikal na nakikita nila.eh di lahat na sana ng magaganda eh mabait.. di ba me magaganda ring kontrabida sa telenovela?

WHO AM I...waaaaaa...marunong ka na ngang magbasa ng ABAKADA tapos hanggang ngayon eh ito pa din ang katanungan mo? shuhada baba what is this yani eat biryani..yes ka ng yes pero me kasama namang iling..paano pa ako maniniwala sa sinasabi mo..hahaha.. gawin mo muna bago mo sabihing kaya mong lumipad! pero ampangit namang isipin na kaya ka lang naniniwala dahil nakikita mo ito.. kaya nga me sinasabing TRUST/tiwala...

hindi talga akma sa akin ang maging isang planning engineer dahil kahit kelan ay di man lang naisakatuparan ang mga plinano ko. bakit nga ba? dami kasing asungot sa buhay na kung umasta ay daig pa si pakito diaz..hahaha..pero masaya pa din dahil kahit papaano eh nakatayo pa din ako at nagbabalak na maisakatauparan ang mga minimithi ng puso ko.

nagdubai ka pala? eh ano naman ang napala mo sa dubai?shungak ka pala...di mo ba alam na sa dubai ko nakita ang pagkatao ko, nalamn ko na di pala ako rebulto na gaya ng mga nasa plaza na imahe ni rizal. kaya ko palang pakawalan ang sa tingin ko ay sobrang importante sa buhay ko lalo na nung nakita kong nasasakal na pala ako sa salamin. kala ko tuloy ay malalagutan na ako ng hininga. akala ko lang pala iyon...

ang buhay ay masaya lalo na kung manunuod ka ng palabas sa clowns sa quezon av..sabi na ngang clowns eh..wag ung mukhang clowns..hahaha.. kaya nga nilagyan ng joker ang isang set ng baraha dahil alam nila na ang manunugal ay kailangan din ng JOKE... hindi lahat ng oras ay hari ang nasusunod, kawawa naman ang reyna kung di man lang tatanungin ang suhestyon iya. baka kei jack pa tumakbo at magsabi ng karunugan niya..bagsak ang palasyo kung nagkataon..

nadapa ka ba? thank GOD, inallow niyang madapa ka. di mo ba alam na ang daming taong umakay sa iyo nung nadapa ka. ang binigyan mo lang ng pansin ay iyong pagkadapa mo.. di mo lang napansin ang mga taong nakapalibot sa iyo. mabuti nalang at nung tumayo ka sa pagkadapa ay nakita mo sila. wag kasing tatanga tanga at baka mahulog ka sa balon na sobrang lalim at abutin ka ng dalawang taon bago ka makaahon.sana nakapag wish ka man lang. maghanap ka nalang ng lamp at kaskasin mo ito at baka sakaling me lumabas na genie at baka bigyan ka pa ng tatlong kahilingan. kung sakaling walang genie na lumabas eh di ibenta mo sa antique shop at pera pa din ito.

kakatuwa pero kung minsan ay sasabihin mo na kagabi ay di ka nalasing nung uminom ka ng redhorse. eh di mas ok pa sana na tubig nalang ang ininom mo kung ayaw mo din lang malasing.nagbayad ka na nga para lang umikot ang mundo mo sa pagkahilo... di ka pa ba kuntento sa normal na ikot ng mundo? wag ka masyadong malikot at baka ka mahulog..kaw din.. di lahat ng pagkakataon eh me sasalo sa iyo sa pagkakahulog mo..hahahaha

weeeeeeee..wakokok...kung ano ano nanamn ang nasulat ko sa gabing ito...

still standing...chasing dreams...alam ko..di ako mabibigo sa mga adhikain ko...makakamit ko ang tagumpay sa takdang oras.. GOD is so great all the time..may GOD bless you and your family always..

Kenyans reign in Quezon City marathon

MANILA, Philippines - Kenyans Hillary Kimutai Kipchumba and Doreen Kitaka turned the first Quezon City International Marathon into a virtual playground as they dominated their respective divisions in the event which drew over 6,000 runners at the Quezon Memorial Circle in Quezon City yesterday.

Running his first full marathon, the 22-year-old Kipchumba paced himself well majority of the 42-km race then poured it all out in the last three kilometers to nip pre-race favorite and compatriot Daniel Koringo for the crown. He clocked two hours, 30 minutes, eight seconds and took the top purse of P300,000.

Koringo, tipped to dominate the event being the most veteran among the Kenyans, went into attack mode and led from start until the 39th-km where he pulled his right harmstring, enabling Kipchumba and two other Kenyans to overtake him.

ikaw na nga

IKAW NA NGA

Parang biro lamang
Dumating ang tulad mo

Dahil sayo'y naramdaman
Ang tunay na pagmamahal
Iniibig kita kahit sino ka man

Ikaw na nga
Ang hinahanap ng puso
Ang siyang magbibigay ng saya ng tamis
At lambing sa buhay ko,,

Ikaw na nga
Ang bawat panaginip ko
Sa piling mo'y nagkatotoo,
Ang lahat ng mga pangarap ko

Ikaw na nga ito

Palaging mayroong kulang
Sa isang pagmamahal
Ang tanging kailangan
Puso ay mapagbigyan
Dahil sayo'y naramdaman
Ang tunay na pagmamahal
Iibigin kita kahit sino ka man.

Yashica FX-3

The FX-3 was a very popular, manually-operated, 35mm single lens reflex camera, released by Yashica in 1979, and built by Cosina. It has a vertical metal-bladed mechanical focal plane shutter with speeds up to 1/1000, an exposure meter with a simple 3-LED reading in the viewfinder, and no automatic metering or focusing modes. The camera is very compact and lightweight for an SLR design, and weighs about 1 pound (450 grams). One of the camera's greatest attributes is that it will accept all manual-focus Yashica / Contax lenses, including the superb Carl Zeiss T* lenses intended for the Contax line. The FX-3 was available only in black, though there was also an otherwise identical FX-7 model that came in a chrome finish.

In 1984 the FX-3 was replaced by the FX-3 Super, that added a vestigial grip to the body, a flash-ready indicator in the finder, and moved the meter switch to the shutter release button. It too was only sold in black finish. Kyocera (which had acquired Yashica in 1983) released the FX-7 Super in 1985, exactly the same camera finished in chrome.

In 1986 the FX-3 Super was in turn succeeded by the FX-3 Super 2000 with a shutter speed range extended to 1/2000, and a wider ISO range from 25 - 3200 ISO instead of 12 - 1600.

These inexpensive cameras have developed a reputation for reliability, mostly due to their extremely simple construction and durable metal chassis with plastic outer shell. The leatherette exterior covers of the FX-3 are a well-known weak point, and tend to disintegrate after a few years, but are easily replaced. Later Super 2000 models were sourced from China, and some components were changed to lower costs.

heartbreak quotes

I don’t know what I feel, I know I should be sad but I’m not. I know I must be crying right now but I can’t. I’m not sad. I’m not happy. I’m not angry and I’m not okay. Is this what they call emptiness?


One night, they argued. The next day, the guy gave flowers and chocolates. They sat and looked at the stars. GF: “is this your way of saying sorry?” BF: “no, this is my way of saying goodbye.”


Love leaves a memory that no can steal. But sometime, it leaves a heartache that no one can heal.

People aren't afraid of saying "I love you." They're afraid of hearing the response.

The hardest one to get over with is the one you never had.

“The most interesting thing about the heart transplant is that one completely loses his own heart and be replaced with someone else’s heart yet still has the feelings for the same person he loves. This proves that love works in the minds of people and not in their hearts. You will learn how to forget only if you try doing so.” - Dr. Burke, Grey’s Anatomy

To offer a girl friendship when love is in her heart is like giving a loaf of bread to someone when their dying of thirst.

What makes us a fool? When it hurts seeing the one you love with somebody but still, you keep on staring.

Why do most people seem to fall for their friend at one point or another? It’s because we see a great person. Someone who knows us inside and out, someone who’s been there when we were down, someone who knows what makes us laugh and what makes us cry, someone who cares. We see the perfect someone in our friend but what we don’t see is that as soon as we take that next step, they will turn into someone we never knew at all. Pathetic truth.

I'm ninety-nine percent sure that the person I love doesn't love me back. But just one percent of his love is enough for me to hold on.


It is a lie to say you have let go of the past. Nobody let go of memories. Each tear is an unforgettable memory. Each smile is an undeniable mark. Each heartbeat is an unerasable soar because really, there is no such thing as forgetting only accepting and changing.

Don’t you hate it when you cry over the things you can’t have? When you were a little girl, it was that a special toy. Now? It is that special boy.

When you have been very much in love with someone, you can’t really be friends after it falls apart because it hurts to see each other and recall that you both did your best but still, it didn’t last.

Do you know what is wrong with sorry? It gives people the wrong idea that any mistake can be solved by a single word.

I will never hate someone for not loving me. I will never hate seeing him with the person he loves because I know he is happy. But I could I hate it when he is making me fall even more when I am trying to let go.

It is so hard to be stranded by a love story especially when you are currently feeling the near end but the story isn’t ending. Much confusing is today he loves you. Tomorrow, he doesn’t care. Tonight, you are special. The next day you are nothing.

Avoiding something doesn’t always mean that you hate it. It could also mean that you want it but you just know that it is too complicated.

We don’t talk anymore and I can’t understand why. It is like you gave me wings and then told me it’s illegal to fly.

Sometimes it boggles my mind why people fall in love. Then say goodbye. Why can't they be forever when at first they can never seem to part?

Relationships are all about falling. Falling in love and falling apart.

Why do tears came rushing when you are hurting so much? It is because it’s the only way how your eyes speak when your mouth can’t explain how things made your heart broken.

What will you do when faced with two choices? Simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you but because in that brief moment that the coin is in the air, you’ll suddenly know what you’re hoping for.

The only truly painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said and never explained

heartset

Long distance limits you to share simple joys, firsts - together
On the other hand it allows you to experience different good things separately and still be able to share it later

I want and need that we share all together, along with the pains and the struggles

I know I just have to have the second one as a mantra so as not to feel what is missing

mindset J!
heartset! distance is a gift

still thanking YOU!

Suntok Sa Buwan

Suntok Sa Buwan
Eraserheads


Sabi nila na ko raw makakaya
Ang lumapit sayo magisa, magpakilala
Sabi nila malakas daw ang aking loob
Sinuswerte daw ba ako
Mag isip na tayong dalawa ay magmahalan

Tingnan mo ngayon, sino na nga bang nkatawa
'pag tayo ay naglalakad, o di ba, tahimik n lang sila
Sa dami noon ng nanligaw sa 'yong poging
Nakapila baldeng pabling
Sino bang mag akalaang tayo ay magmahalan, magkatuluyan

Chorus:
Suntok sa buwan ka lang nung araw tanging irog ko
Sa ganda mo at bait ay hindi ko akalain
Puso ko'y hinagip sa dilim
Karibal ko'y hindi pinansin
Rumemate na lang sa bandang hulihan
Suntok sa buwan, panalo, akin ka lang


Sabi nila na hindi nga raw tayo bagay mapapansin mo lang daw ako kung mawawalan ka nang malay
Sabi nila kailanga'y isang himala, di ka raw madaan sa tiyaga
Tingnan mo kung sino na ang siyang nakatunganga, humahanga

Chorus:
Suntok sa buwan ka lang nung araw tanging irog ko
Sa ganda mo at bait ay hindi ko akalain
Puso ko'y hinagip sa dilim
Karibal ko'y hindi pinansin
Nakahagod na lang sa bandang hulihan
Suntok sa buwan!
Panalo
Akin ka lang (repeat 4 times)
