The Presidentiables

Ladies and Gentlemen!!!! this is the beginning of my presentation of the presidentiables. Let us know them one by one. This might help you choose who to vote this 2010 elections. Good Luck!!! :)

MAGUINDANAO MASSACRE

November 23: This is the death scene. 57 bodies were found in the area. Others were buried. Aside from dead bodies, a backhoe owned by the province of Maguindanao was also found in the area. Two human rights lawyers, 30 journalists, and two members of the Mangudadatu family where among the identified victims.

November 26, Mayor Andal Ampatuan Jr. of Datu Unsal surrendered to authorities. Ampatuan was pointed by witnesses as the mastermind of the crime.

November 27, Ismael Mangudadatu files candidacy for Sharrif Aguak governor.

November 28, an audio recording was found by authorities.

December 2, 25 counts of murder were filed against town Datu Unsal Mayor Andal Ampatuan Jr.

Some facts. Mangudadatu and Ampatuan are blood-related because of inter-marriage. The family ties were broken after the Mangudadatu sought for government office against the Ampatuans. It was believed that the women members of the Mangudadatu were sent to file certificates of candidacy because their religion, Islam, teaches that women, children, and senior citizens are excempted to any war.

Since the alleged suspects, the Ampatuans and their private armies already disobeyed the teachings of Islam, the residents fear that they will not be able to have peace in their community. Some of the families in Maguindanao already opted to evacuate.

The entire country is watching the government, waiting that justice will be served.

Team Jinkee!

The pound for pound king has been married to Jinkee way before he made tremendous success in boxing. Jinkee witnessed every fight Manny made inside and outside the boxing ring.The couple now has four children.

If rumors are true, she will destroy not just a couple but a family.

Described as a smart and talented girl, known also for her beautiful face and body... Krista Ranillo comes from a conservative family. But with the tight competition in showbiz, Krista started to show some skin. Her confidence made her stand out.

Earlier, rumors came out. She was spotted with Manny in an event in Manila. The two arrived in one car said to have been picked up from the airport. She denied the allegation that he is having a relationship with the married man.

But just recently, Krista and other sexy actress was seen in a hotel where Manny stayed for his fight in Las Vegas against Miguel Cotto. Manny allegedly came out from the room where the sexy actresses are staying.

He Did It Again!

Kiddish

Had two shifts last Saturday, 2pm-10pm and 10pm-6am. I was not able to go home because of my 8:30am live report for Oplan: Kaligtasan Undas 2009 and ANC's Dateline at 12 noon. Arrived from live point in Calamba Cemetery to the Station at around 2pm. It was the only time I had breakfast and lunch. After that I rested and wrote my scripts for the local newscast on Monday. Then decided to stay still in station (my clock while still writing this: 9:30pm) because I'm afraid to come home. So lonely in there. Well, I watched Mulan and it suddenly made my day better (not to mention singing "the climb" by Miley Cyrus earlier, had it played over 4shared.com).


I know myself in matter of handling failure. Yah, I die. (hehe) My whole life collapses over one mistake, huge mistake, especially if before hand I knew I could do it best. It keeps me asking, where did I go wrong? I'm not really good in accepting failure, I suck. It's like the end of the world.


Anyways, to cut the story short, I feel better now and these are the lines which helped me realize life is not perfect but you can always choose to be happy.


"you must be true to your heart, you must be true to your heart..." -mulan soundtrack.


"the greatest honor is having you as my daughter'- mulan. The movie just made my day better.


"because theres always gonna be another mountain, Im always gonna wanna make it move, always gonna be an uphill battle, sometimes Im gonna have to lose."-the climb, Miley Cyrus


I know it's high schoolish but sometimes you have to be that kiddish to just laugh over your mistakes and get on with life. :)

TLC

Talking to myself


It kills you isn't it?


1. When he stops making surprises and settles for what is easier to get, to have, to accomplish, to do for you. For example, he stops sending you text messages with feelings in it and settles for a phone call (unlimited call promo of networks) because it's just a one or two press away. It rings, he says hi and asks how you are, end of conversation... his obligation is done, next page please. Quicker right? Less effort.


2. What about in giving gifts?
Well he used to think hard about what to get me on special occasions or what to do for me. But now, he picks anything on sale not minding if I could really use it in real life. Worst, he doesn't get me anything or I would have to share half of how much it costs.


3. Does he still care with how you look or what you are thinking?
Let me see, the last time I checked, he's too busy. With so many things happening around him, (in his studies, his job, and in his business), checking out my new hair, or reading my blog or notes or emails or offline messages is like lightyears away from his list.


4. But what about if you are spending time together?
OK i'll tell you about it. Well, nothing happens if I don't do the asking and telling. Going to see movies, eating in a restaurant, going to church, it all happens because I do all the planning and event organizing, he just goes with the flow.


Talking to Mr.


Dear Mr.,


First, I appreciate that unlimited call. But haven't you noticed? Important conversations are done through text messaging (at least in our case), difficult things to say over the phone are easier to formulate through texting, without one trying to interrupt another. Thoughts are sent one by one and both of us could respond to each one of it.
Plus if it is anything sweet and sincere, you can always keep them and read them over and over again.


Second, I will give you a hint, usefulness is important. It is something you should consider in buying a gift. It would really not matter if it's on sale as long as it's not shop-lifted (hehe). And gift-giving rule: Don't give for the sake of giving. Don't treat it as one of those house chores you posted on the fridge that you can put a check on when you're done doing it. Plus plus plus, it doesn't need a special occasion to give a special someone something. And it is very very very unforgetable if it is anything you had worked on yourself, just like that video you did.


Third, I 'm cute but I'm not stupid. Of course I consider the fact that you are juggling too many responsibilities and commitments and I'm proud of you because of that. But if you really like someone, you don't lose track of her. You wanna see how she would look in this hair or that, in this dress color or that, seeing her even in pictures on the internet would always make you feel excited (that's what I think because that's how I am to you). It doesn't take you an hour to open her page you know and drop some messages. Most importantly, it does really matter knowing that you care about what's on my head (not just what's between my legs). It's sexy and very manly if a guy checks out a woman's opinion over prevailing issues, or a woman's translation over a single ordinary everyday experience. It's a feeling of "I matter".


Fourth, simple. Take control. You're the man. I am giving you that power! Of course, I have my own suggestions and all, that is the time we (as a team) weigh things and decide together.

100 pogi points for you!

John dx lapid: nang... when things like this happen one should understand... og ikaw pud ang nasayop o nasuko musabot pud ko... we dont need to fight
John dx lapid: or to stress a point nga wa magpakabana ang usa nato..
John dx lapid: we just need to be humble... and understand things. listen to reasons and know how to apologize.
John dx lapid: kahibaw man pud ta satong mga laing gibuhat diba...
John dx lapid: we know always how to weigh things... reporter gud ta.
John dx lapid: pasensiya na nako if wala dayon ko kakita og way to communicate with you nang...

I'm just sharing this to you readers because I'm sooo proud of him. This was how he handled my serious "why did you not text me immediately?" disease.

P.S. name of bf withheld, some crazy chicks might track him down and take him away. haha
