?

can manila be any gloomier than this?it seemed like an ordinary morning when i went to work but now, nothing is normal about that day anymore. i cant even write about it. cant bring up the deatils, the stories ive heard. i dont know how to put them in words. my heart is breaking/

“The rainfall brought by typhoon ONDOY to Metro Manila and nearby areas in a span of six hours on Saturday was the most in recorded history, surpassing the previous record for the metropolis in 1967. Hurricane Katrina dumped over an inch of rainfall i…n Louisiana for 3 hours and another 0.5 inches per hour over the next 5 hours on August 29, 2005. Ondoy dumped an average of 2.24 inches per hour for six hours.”

accidental UFC fan

i have been accidentally watching a lot of UFC lately.  accidentally because cable is not availble till next week and dvd options are limited.plus he uber loves watching it so I just accidentally watch it with him.

yes, i know a lot of people see this as the art of ultimate fighting.first few minutes of watching and i saw it as brawling with higher stakes. it reminded me of the barbarians in the arena killing each other while the crowd cheers for whoever’s death.

oh well, it’s not as brutal as that.but close.

when u get used to the pounding and  take downs, u will appreciate the skills these guys have..jujitsi, boxing, muay thai, karate..their all masters of some sort on one of those.

do i still find it barbaric? yes.

but so what?we are in the generation where Mommy Dionisia dances wearimg backless glittering gowns, Darna is remaked over and over and Luis Manzano is applauded for a “dramatic” performance. This is entertainment. If it appeals to the viewers, then businessis good.

 And so I admit. I am an accidental and occasional Mir and Griffin UFC fan.

Until we get a cable connection!

TGIF

someone with a valiant pen reminded me today that sad is not always bad

sad can be helpful, can be beautiful

sad can be what u need sometimes

especially when it comes from deep in ur heart.

continue being valiant my friend
 

monster me

 you,

when i rant it does not always mean i am mad..
        im just feeling something overwhelming
        which makes me exhibit an untoward behavior
        equivalent to a loud bombastic declamation , expressed with strong emotion
        but im not necessarily mad

nothing a hug cannot bring around..

ms kris

krissy. u cant spend a day on TV without seeing Ms Kris’ face. I was already forgetting that she is the daughter of Cory and Ninoy until recently when she’s been talking endlessly about her brother’s presidentail campaign. i squirm everytime I hear her bully Noynoy about his looks. receeding hairline, bad posture, wrong choice of barong, shirt is not his color. And then there was this discussion of Noynony getting married, an idea she did not like and she needs that be known ( just like all the other deatils of her very colorful life). kawawa naman. who needs detractors when you have Kris as your little sister to pick on you.  and then today, the headline is Ms Kris selling a property to fund Noy’s campaign. she said she will work real hard for the next two years because she will pay for his wedding too. ok.somthing just does not seem right here. The bullying and the lending the money makes Noy look so weak and kawawa, an image he does not need to reiterate anymore because this is already the impression of most people about him. And surely u do not want a weak president. Do it but maybe not broadcast it. So Ms Kris, as someone who is leaning toards voting your brother and hoping that he will win, I appeal , please shut up and stop this daily announcements and opinion. i know you see him as your brother but he is running for the highest positon in the country. a little tact will be helpful. Let us not embarass the presidentiable.

The best love advice I ever got is from a very old couple I saw on Oprah before. When asked what the secret of their lasting, happy marriage is, they said they make sure not to fall out of love at the same time. I think so too.. 

Yes, you love the person but at some point one will be annoyed of the other. U may do shitty things. U may be shitty.

But u cant really fight shit with shit and expect rainbow and sunshine right? Well, if there’s shit involve it would rarely end as beautifully as rainbow and sunshine but my point is when I’m upset, he shuts up and lets me vent and understands that this is my shitty moment so the best thing to do is be as loving and as patient as he can for now until I get better and I shouldl do the same when it’s his turn to be a monster.

and he’s really good at that
