David Vs Gloria-iath.

Amazing. I can’t believe what I read and seen on TV just a minutes ago. GMA is running for Congress. I’ve heard it all week, maybe more than two. In the midst of the H1N1 pandemic, climate change, global recession, more than half of the country in poverty the president is planning con-ass and (maybe) running for congress. The plan, as before, change the form of government from republic to parliament… the president (now) hopes to win in congress next year, then be the prime minister. Still in power!

What is happening to my beloved country (drama!).
I certainly am one very very optimistic person. In spite of a traumatic adolescence (OA to), I chose to be better. I chose a path which made myself a better individual. I think that is one problem that Philippines have. We’ve struggled so much in the past as written in our history. We’ve won over the Spaniards (or so we thought, until we’ve read that the Spanish government sold us to the US), we’ve slugged it out with the US as well and then the Japs.

Plus the many tumultuous years under the Marcos Regime… We’ve also ousted what we’ve perceived to be a corrupt president in Estrada… But now? What is happening Philippines? Don’t we ever learn?

LOS ANGELES - Pop icon Michael Jackson has died, a Los Angeles County Coroner’s office spokesman confirmed Thursday.

Lieutenant Fred Corral told CNN Jackson, 50, was pronounced dead at 2:26 pm at a hospital in Los Angeles after reportedly suffering a cardiac arrest.

“I can tell you at this time that we were notified by West Los Angeles Police Department detectives that Mr Jackson was transported … to the hospital, and upon admitting, he was unresponsive and was pronounced dead at approximately 2:26 this afternoon,” Corral told CNN.

I think a lot of people are mourning now.  Just last night I was also a bit shocked to see the news about Farrah Fawcet who passed lost in her battle with cancer.   I actually more of felt the loss for Farrah than Michael.  I like MJ but his infamous pedophelia case made me “not like” him.  I still like his music though…

Gone too soon?

A small community is called Barrio in Filipino.  It (usually) connotes that when someone came from a barrio you are from a far flung province.  So far away from the hustle and the bustle of city life (usually the capital).  Imagine a friend who came to the south from the capital thought that the houses in our city were Nipa huts.

Even if you came from a “city” you still hail from a barrio when you go to the capital.

Today that internet and the age of world wide web has come upon us (Thank God!), the capital and the barrio has come together.  And this particular Barrio has brought together those from the real barrios all over the archipelago and the world.  Kudos Barrio Siete!

I saw this online.  Haaay.  Poor fellow.
