picture! picture!

"all you really have in the end are your stories."

these are the exact lines from S04E07 of burn notice. believe it or not but its true. you can have a tons of pictures in your closet or a hard drive full of old scraps but none of them will tell the viewer the real story behind those pictures.

important thing is cease every moment. the picture below looks good. oh yeah! its in palomeras altas in madrid, spain. this is where the neo-catechumenal way started. i look so happy, right? i love the trees, its very picturesque. but, did you know that i stepped on a dog's poop while taking this picture?

by the way, i look good in blue and with my oakley. lol!

i used to be like some people taking photos in every angle. of course, i am a filipino! we love photos! but sometimes, we lose the other end. and that lose end is the very reason "why you are at a particular place and particular time".

it took me while to realize this.

Lost Memory of Tejeros Convention v.2

few days ago, we have celebrated 115th anniversary of tejeros convention - first presidential/vice presidential election and the founding of the modern day armed forces of the philippines. so what happened?

well, as far as i know, students are there in casa. teachers were also there. they had a little program with senator chiz escudero as their guest speaker. and that's it.

so where are the soldiers who were supposed to be celebrating with us? we filipinos have a saying, "ang di marunong tumingin sa pinanggalingan ay di makakarating sa patutunguhan.". well, basically that's my point. i think its about time for the afp chief to acknowledge this place's worth, right?

where are the veterans? veteran people are the closest predecessor of our heroes. they may not be directly involve with those magdiwangs and magdalos but they should have at least given the priority.

have you seen the place lately? oh men. how can someone put this place back on track if you have this place look awful. the local government of rosario should look into this if they are into tourism right now.

well, so much things have been said. for me, tejeros convention should be in the limelight.

grace ibuna - the voice of the mistresses - v.02

i am neither a mistress nor a whore. - grace ibuna

until now, grace ibuna is still the talk in town. after going out in the open to be the partner of the late congressman iggy arroyo, she sure made the media busy for some time. i don't want to speak ill towards her. i may not know how she feels but i think she suffered a lot. interviews show that she really loves the late congressman and no one is going to stop it. right now, as i see it, i think she feels that she has all the rights for she keeps on talking. a very tele-serye like love story, right? "you and me against the world" type of story is really selling to the public. what's new? lol!

i think this only happens in teleserye. lol! imagine, saying that she's neither a mistress nor a whore is a big thing for me. she may not be a whore. i really don't think that she is. her family is living comfortably. recent interviews even shows that they can have anything she wants. however, admitting that she's not a mistress is something that bothers me. oh well, probably she's still in denial stage. she may call it whatever she wants but the truth is she's denying of things that she needs to admit.

this picture is from this site. 

i'll just hope and pray that everyone will move on with their lives. i wish that she could move on and admit that she's a mistress.

thanks for the rain

dear God -

early in the morning, you greeted us with an awesome. i always knew that its going to be an awesome day for me and other people to work and do their chores. you let the sun sees us this morning but the clouds were there, too. and honestly, i did not realize what this beautiful day has to offer. all i know is that you are going to make it special.

someone texted and said we're going to have eucharist tonight. i said..."wow! a gift from God.". you made time pass by and made me write some long overdue entries. though its quite hot, you gave me an idea to have the fan turned on. and now, you made the rain fall so heavy to ease the humid day.

thank you for the sun and the rain. this day is really awesome for you made all of them. tomorrow, is going to be another day. please protect me and guide me for i am going to have a 10K run in BGC. if you are going to make it a rainy day, please make me "sick"-proof runner.

to you God, we always pray. thank you for loving a sinner like me.

love,
edu
