even lawyers can go unprofessional

lawyers are like pillars. they are my idol if we talk about rules of law. but what happened in impeachment court between my favorite Senator-Judge Miriam Defensor Santiago and Prosecution Lawyer Vitaliano Aguirre makes me realize that ever lawyers can go unprofessional. lol!

pictures are from here.

they are like kids. lol! so cute. very unprofessional but so cute. i cannot blame Aguirre for Miriam can sometimes be pushy. i cannot blame miriam because prosecutors are really unprepared. so, i'll just make fun of them instead of getting affected. cheers!

people change

If there are three things that my girlfriend taught me last Tuesday, it would have been these things >>

 

1.       People change.

2.       People change.

3.       People change.

 

Feb 29 comes every four years but I cannot force myself to maximize everything. I know it’s my choice to make – whether I should be affected or not; but anger is around me and my emotion spiked up to 90% utilization. I wanted to believe in my girlfriends advice but experience thought me three things >>

 

1.       People change if they wanted to change.

2.       People change for a reason.

3.       People change if they help themselves to change.

 

I am a concrete example to it. My brat-meter used to be 9. At that rate, it was like spoiled little brat who expresses himself even in the expense hurting others experience. I still am but tamed down a little. Whenever I describe myself, tactless is on top of my list. Personally, I thank God for calling me to this Way. This taught me to value people and their feelings.  I wanted to change because I realize that I need a community to follow God. I need people to make me a better person. I need people in the community. I need to change. I need to be considerate and lower my standards. Not all people, talk, think and behave like me. Not all people are as boisterous, inconsiderate and insensitive as I am.

 

Equipped my desire to change, I found myself in den of lions and tigers. Ready to devour and eat me alive. I am one of them. Vindictive, cruel and brutal. Father Paulo Benetton once said, a community is a group of heartless people. People who hate other people. People who praise God yet they keep on doing his/her will. People who find themselves in the abyss of darkness and chose to stay where they are. One day, out from nowhere, I just realized that I am learning to accept them. Metaphorically, I found my heart in these heartless people. I found my love who taught me to love people. I found not just a companion, not just a family – I found love. The greatest thing that someone will learn is how to love and be loved in return. This love is another reason for me to change.

 

I did my best to keep the fire burning but I guess my best wasn’t good enough. Here I am again, back where I was before. Hopelessness is slowly crippling me. The sands of time is slowly running out. All the hopes that someday, somehow, someone in my community will change is gradually fading away. Demons murmuring saying “How can you help someone change if he doesn’t help himself change?”. This feeling shall pass, it is what I keep on filling up my narrow headed mind. People change if they help themselves to change. I have to help myself  change for me to change. I should love Him for who you are no matter how hard it is.

 

If ever you’ll hear this, here’s a little advise. Life is a matter of choices you choose and decisions you make. If you continue to leave in a life where you think you have no choice, you’ll ended up having no choice. Do not blame other people for a series of unfortunate events. It’s your choice to be trapped. Past is past. It will never change. If you continue to leave in the past with someone you love, you’ll ended up losing love. Do not blame other people for your breakup. It takes two to tango. Tomorrow relies on what you do today.

vicki belo = hayden kho = al galang = tugs tugs

first of all, this is my blog. i can say what i want to say. and this is my opinion.

vicki belo is a doctor turned into a lifeless celebrity. she's rich and actors/actresses love her so much because she can turn those protruding belly into a sexy coca-cola body. her face could launch a thousand seas because her face is like plastic so it could go without sinking.

hayden kho is another doctor who became a bold actor because of his sex scandals with maricar reyes and katrina halili. and now, he's an endorser of his fragrant line that was probably financed by no other than his sugar mother.

al galang is a model who've been here "daw" since 2006 but still has twang. no comment on that. he's a bikram yoga instructor who would love to spread yoga here in the philippines. and if flirting is your game, al galang would be the name.

and here's the evidence of their love triangle >>

picture from here.

what do they have in common? they all claim fame out of some controversy which I should say - way below their league. a doctor, businessman and instructor. oh men! they can be famous in so many ways - NOT THIS. making names out of a effing story. come on! only lifeless people can buy your story! i hope other filipinos won't buy their love life just like i did.

There Be Dragons

While checking my inbox, I saw a saved message that i had since October. Here it is >>

Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. - Oscar Wilde from the movie - There Be Dragons.

Well, There Be Dragons is a movie of self-discovery. I love the story. The setting during the Spanish Civil War. Robert, a journalist tries to do a story about Jose Maria Escriva - a modern day saint and the founder of Opus Dei. He discovered that his dying father - Manolo - is a childhood friend of the saint. He discovered a lot of things until he realized that his real father is not Manolo but  Oriol - a brave militia leader. He also discovered that Manolo is spy in their militia group. How Manolo deserves a second chance is something that is worth watching.

The twist is great an unexpected but the actors and actresses aren't that good (sorry). Anyways, I will give this movie a 6.75.

i miss you

last thursday, inside the van from MOA going home, i was comfortably seated inside the van beside me is a middle aged guy - probably we're of the same age - and a cute girl beside him. the guy keeps on kissing his daughter's (I assume) forehead. i felt the love and comfort. the guy is not ashamed of kissing the child's forehead over and over.

i remember my dad who used to kiss me so often every time he teaches me something. i miss him so much. we never had that bonding too much because we're not in good vibes. nonetheless, i miss him so much.

sometimes, i think of how am i going to be a good father soon. well, i'll just cross the bridge when i get there. for now, i'll enjoy my remaining days as a single man.

burn notice

oh my! i started checking out this series when i was in chicago. at first, i thought its the same format as my  all time favorite white collar but it seems different. i love the twist and how mikey's team help people solve their problem. sometimes, it's educational but sometimes it is out of this world. 

in any ways, i love fiona. she's one of the people that i look forward to in this series. her attitude makes her hotter than her own awesome body. 

currently, i am at season 3 and still looking forward in watching some more episodes. yo yo yo!

Fat Tuesday!

today is fat tuesday. it's time of the year where (in some parts of the world) people celebrate, eat a lot of food and party in the street before the lenten season starts. they also call it as mardi gras - which is a french translation of fat tuesday.

well, this celebration is not needed. reason is that we should celebrate all year round. yes, all year round. celebrate things with God for He has provided everything that we need. i'm not like this every minute of the year but i am happy.

we do not need a day to celebrate before we do fasting and push ourselves away from sins. what we just need is to pray. as i enter my 40 days and 40 nights of fasting, i feel so excited yet worried. hopefully in God's grace, i will be able to do it!

note: well, people might think why my labels say - love life, moving on. my idea of 40 days and 40 nights really started from my urge to move on. though i think this is no longer needed but this seems to be a perfect time for me to pray and love.

it's always better to do it in a hard way

it's always better to do it in a hard way.

if you really follow my blog, you'll know that i don't really cook before. my mom usually cooks for us so i have no exposure to it. but when i was assigned to chicago for a year, i have no choice but to cook. i found out that there is a "chef" inside me. lol! probably, its in the genes. anyways, this is a big impact in the way i cook. i prepare easy-to-prepare food - ready to cook food in cans, ready to fry shrimps with re-heatable sauce, etc. name it, i probably cooked it!

last year, i discovered this recipe - creamy pesto chicken - which uses a pre-condensed cream soup in a can. i love that recipe because it is easy to prepare and tastes awesome. a couple of weeks ago, i feel the urge of cooking that same recipe. so, the first thing to do is to go to grocery and buy necessary ingredients. i went to six groceries but that can is no where to be found. hhaaayyy so sad. it's unavailable. when i asked some peeps who work at the grocery, they'll just say - "ay yan lang po yung available, di ko po alam yung sinasabi nyo.". that's a bang in my face which makes me realize that I am here in Pinas. wow!

anyways, what's the lesson? don't rely to those too good to be true recipes. its better if you cook from scratch. it's always better to do it in a hard way. i remember my grandmother uses fresh tomatoes for mechado instead of tomato sauce. indeed, it tastes a lot better.

same thing is true to how we earn money. i don't want to elaborate. you know who you are.

valentine's day

it's tuesday, i will be working from home. today is our 2nd valentine's day as a couple. last year, i was so painful because i need to work. i made up on the 15th. this year, it's the other way around. she's busy so we can't have one. i don't know if we'll have on fri or the weekends. anyways, it's ok. important thing is she's mine. i do want to go out but it's good if i'll just follow.

i fetched her to her workplace and gave her the card that i made. i bought some yellow roses for her last sat and asked the shop to deliver it to her company today. at around 5.30, i received an SMS with her thank you.

i am simply in love with her.

NYP meeting @ St. James

we attended the youth's meeting @ st. james today. a lot of youth from the diocese of imus went there to represent their parishes. among them are of course our two "sister" communities, peeps from amadeo and gma.

along with me are albert, dan, ate melda and my girlfriend - flor. it was hard for me to ask her to come to ormoc city. i know its really hard for her to make some absences. but to my surprise, she told me that she's coming. i was quite happy. no, very happy. i would love her to come with me in ormoc for the national youth's pilgrimage. truly, an answered prayer.

i am so excited for this youth pilgrimage. so excited! see you ormoc!

karapatan daw?

hindi ko gusto ang makipag-debate kung tama o mali yung ginagawa ng impeachment body ngayon. ang batas ay para sa tao at ang tao ay para sa batas. kung ang nakataya ay ang kredibilidad ng kataas-taasang hukuman, kailangan talagang pag-usapan. bilang punong mahistrado ng bansa, si renato corona ay may responsibilidad na ilabas ang katotohanan. malamang sa salita ko pa lang na iyon ay alam nyo na ang opinyon ko sa mga nangyayari ngayon.

ang pag-lalantad ng dollar account ng punong mahistrado ay di dapat pag-talunan. alam nang bawat isa ang mga batas. ang katanungan lang ay dapat ba nating sundin ang batas kung ang nakataya ay kredibilidad ng isang taong may mataas na posisyon sa gobyerno?

seryoso ang bawat isa sa pag-sugpo ng katiwalian sa gobyerno. kung gusto ng bawat isa na mawala ang mga buwaya sa lipunan, dapat nating saklawan ang batas. kung kilala mo ako bilang isang mang-gagawa, ayaw ko ang mga bagay na hindi sumusunod sa nakagawian nang proseso. ngunit, sa dulo alam natin na ang bawat proseso ay ginawa para mapag-lingkuran ng maayos ang ibang tao. ganun din ang batas, ginawa ang mga ito para mapangalagaan ang karapatan ng bawat isa. 

kailan ba nasunod lahat ang karapatan ng tao? karapatan ng bawat tao na makapag-aral kahit na hanggang mataas na paaralan. ngunit hindi lahat ng tao ay nakakapag-aral dahil sa kahirapan, dahil sa mga buwaya ng lipunan. ngayon, dahil ba sa may dollar account ang isang tao ay dapat nang galangin ang lahat ng kanyang karapatan? 

ayaw ko nang pahabain, hanggang dito na lamang. ang batas ay para sa lahat. mapa-mayaman ka man o mahirap. ako ay nagbabayad ng buwis dito sa pilipinas at bumoboto ako sa wastong pagkakataon. may karapatan ako sa opinyon ko.

enteng ng ina mo

i am with my mother when i saw this movie. and somehow, i'm quite interested to see this movie. two big stars collide in one movie. so awesome, right?

picture from here.

in short, my expectation is too high and i ended up falling so hard. lol! this movie is like a combination of orange polka dots over aqua green. a low class movie that ended up to just one because they wanted to earn money. sorry, i love ai ai's movies and i have high regards with bossing vic but the story of the movie is poorly made. it's a 6.5 for me. in fairness, the movie is funny.

earthquake to media blaming LGU to ahcee flores

who is she? well, she's one of those people who became so famous because of those UNNECESSARY comments. a proof that sometimes if you talk less, you'll have less error. check this out "baduy girl".

she did a nasty comment about tsunami scare that ruled over Negros and Cebu after a strong earthquake hit the place early this week. my heart felt so bad after knowing that a lot of people were killed because of the earthquake. it made my day worse when I heard some media people blaming the local government unit (LGU) officials about the killings instead of just helping each other. and worst, when I heard about this girl who felt that every people from Visayas are "baduy".

instead of offering prayers, we did everything to pull every bad things out. hhaayy, if wanted change in this country, we need to be vigilant - not everything people from media are really credible. some are just there to blame other people. we also need to face the fact that we leave in the Philippines - and our country is part of this so-called Pacific Ring of Fire. bottom-line is be ready for any catastrophe. last is if you don't have any good thing to say, just shut up. just like this f**king girl named ahcee flores. the name right? she's calling people "baduy" but come to think of how she spelled her name. for me, its a big DUH!? ahcee, with an H and double E.

i should say that most of the times, i also have those not so good comments but i put it into proper timing and proper place.

SSS experience

early Tuesday morning, i was so excited to work. i woke up by 4.50 am. prepared myself for an early morning run - with my usual effects - and off my way to my girl's apartment. i send her to work every morning on weekdays. did a little shortcut on my morning route for i need to work early - reason I AM SO EXCITED TO GET AN SSS ID.

i started working at 6.30 and stopped by 8.00 am. afterwards, SSS EPZA Branch is just a step away. yahoo! i got my queue number (#88) and E6 form. i fill it up and in less than 10 mins i heard my number being called by the security personnel - that was quick!

after 30 mins, a girl behind me is pushing (unintentionally) with her plastic folder. quite irritated, i looked a her angrily. lol!

after 1 hour and 15 mins, a middle aged women in front of me made her hair a shoe polish - me being the shoe. lol! gggrrr. i told my self to have more patience.

after 2 hours, i was able to grab a seat. played a little zelda then i saw a pregnant women. i let her take my seat of course.

after exactly 3 hours, my name was called.

woman (w): *********** po?
me (m): yes.
w: sir, bagong id?
m: no, for replacement.
w: sir ano pong reason?
m: nawala yung id ko.
w: hhhmmm. may affidavit of loss po kayo?
m: wala.
w: bayad na po kayo?
m: hindi pa.
w: ok, sir bayad po muna kayo dun sa teller. tapos kuha po kayo ng affidavit of loss. (while writing on my E6 form with those two requirements).
m: ok, saan ako magbabayad?
w: sir dun po yung pila (with the usual nguso to the direction).
m: after nun, babalik ako dito? eh tong affidavit of loss...
w: sir, sa abogado po. (cutting me).
m: ok. (i almost say, I KNOW). pero didiretso na ako sa booth for photo?
w: no, sir. babalik kayo sa akin. kung same day kayo babalik, diretso na po kayo. pero kung bukas, kuha po ulit kayo ng number.

knowing that i can't afford another hour to go to a lawyer for that affidavit, i crumpled my paper and went out of the office.

3 hours of lost time for nothing. Social Security System should change their name to Social Security S*ck. a service that needs a lot of improvement. SSS never realized that people value their time. i regularly pay my contribution and i don't deserve such service. hhaayy...i hope SSS folks can read this blog.

i am not a lawyer but

i am not a lawyer but

...i think the prosecutors of CJ Corona is not going anywhere. they are just a bunch of malicious mischiefs.

...not all papers will tell you the truth behind everything. these congressmen who filed the impeachment against the CJ should know that. they are congressmen and lawyers. duh!

...before i file a complain, i see to it that i have all the necessary papers and evidences. these prosecutors should be called "fishermen of evidences".

...i know the difference between a piece of crap versus material proof. prosecutors spent so many papers with useless evidences. ggrr. i want them to spend their pork barrel be spent on recycling facilities. now! pity on those trees.

...i know where i stand. do not give the filipino people some false hopes. duh!
