Sa katatapos lang na hostage drama…

Thank you pala kay Manong Driver. Imagine, kung hindi niya sinigaw na “Wala na, patay na lahat sa loob,” nung pinatakas siya, hindi pa gagalaw ung assault team palapit sa bus? Akalain mong fake info lang pala ang magpapalakas ng loob nila para sugurin si Mendoza! Muntik na tayong mag antay hanggang mag Ms. Universe!

I’m this shallow.

  (his Facebook status on 19 August 2010)

Telling me you appreciate the simplest things I do for you gives me that great happy feeling.  Learning that you let everyone know how much you do, like you are just so proud of me, gives me a greater kind of happiness. It’s like the feeling of a frolicsome kid in a toy store.  Imagine the euphoria.

Me, asking.

Why don’t I pity the holdaper caught on video while he was brutally being “punished” by Pulis Maynila? 

Despite the confirmation of his wife and relatives on national TV that he certainly lived an unlawful life and that he was convicted due to it several times already, everyone’s feelings are riveted only on the angle of torture and violation of his human rights.  Hey, what about, how many innocent commuter had this holdaper stabbed for “free” wallets, phones, and purses?  Has anyone on media cared to ask and report about it?  I mean, didn’t that person disrespect and violate THE LAW?  Just a reminder.

I understand that everyone is entitled to our constitution’s human rights and I don’t mean to offend the holdaper’s family (nor the human rights activists.)  I know that they are having hard feelings about the torture and the killing thereafter.  He is their loved one after all, we can expect nothing less from them but to react that way.   But, come to think of it, if he had not violated any law, would he be in that situation in the first place?  And if all of this did not happen—if he were not caught, not treated that way, and continued to live—would he have a good epiphany?  Maybe not be contented with just being a holdaper and decide to find a decent source of income or perhaps just simply turn himself to God?  Would his family be certain that he won’t go back lurking on streets, waiting for some victims?  Would he be back praying instead of preying?

A question goes for his family as well, have they asked themselves if they actually did something to make the man change for the better which would have somehow prevented the incident from happening?  Or did they just applaud him each time he brought home good food in spite of the knowledge where it actually came from? 

Again, I’m just asking.

Likely, not so many would be happy with what I am pointing out here on my entry, because at the end of the day, everyone’s being maka-Diyos at makatao.  And believe me, I am that as well.  On the other hand, I am just being rational and I always believe all stories have good and bad side.  And with this “torture story”, it’s like I don’t see any other side.  Tell me again please… Why should I pity this criminal?

Dengue-free!

Natakot ako bigla while watching TV Patrol kanina. Basta, ang mga narinig ko lang, puro LAGNAT, DENGUE, WALANG NAKITANG SYMPTOMS, STAGE 3, NAMATAY.

WOW!

And since, matindi-tinding lagnat ang naramdaman ko kahapon, ayun, ginising ko ang nagpapahinga kong nanay at humarurot kami agad paputang hospital!

We just got home and thank God, negative ako sa dengue.

Now I can have goodnight sleep! Be safe, everyone!

Way too cool!

If you’re into photography or just simply a photographer wannabe, you will not find any reason not to fall in love with these cute tumblers! Or not! Because each tumbler costs between P2,500 and P3,000. Whoa! 

So I made myself believe that it was puppy love and not love as in luuuuurrrrvvvvveeeee!  It’s okay, I can move on. Although it will take some time…

So yeah, these lens tumblers are way too cool. Ergo, way too pricey! 

…and too not worth it for me. But still, gotta give it to the person who produced these. Awesome, awesome idea!
