After King Darius, Saladin, here we come!

Dear Lord,

Wag Poe! Wag Poe!

So it's official: Ex-President Joseph Ejercito Estrada is running again for the highest seat of the land, together with Makati mayor Jejomar Binay as his Vice-President. I have nothing against Mayor Binay, in fact i admire his admistration job at Makati City and I've experienced his good governance since I lived in Makati for 20 yrs. But as for Erap, oh no, can he just please shut himself out in the political setting of our country and just stay home and do some movies and stuff. When Erap dabs himself in politics, everything became disarray. I remember an old quote before "Ma-Erap pag si Erap ang nanalo".

I just hope and pray (a lot!) that the Filipino people would now choose the best President for our country.
God Bless the Philippines!

Living in a Multiverse

My post is inspired (again) by the Season 8 episode 1 of Family Guy, where Stewie and Brian was visiting the Multiverse . One of the universe they visited was everything was drawn by Disney animators. Stewie love the idea of Disney world and this is one idea that he and brian agree ("this is perfect! everything is so nice and wonderful, let's live on this world"). Of course when it's disney there SHOULD be a song a dance portion together with the birds and squirrels, and rabbit and those tiny animals you see in the forest (think Snow White and her furry little friends). It was funny because the lyrics are ryhmed till the very end to the word "Pie" (well, they actually sang about the Pie Stewie's mother made). Another Disney must-have is "kontrabida", which was played by their neighbor Hubert (who dressed up like the evil witch of Snow White). The story ends up Stewie and Brian left the Disney World when their neighbor Jew was attacked by the Disney characters (fyi: some people think that Mr. walt Disney hates jews).

I wonder if anyone would like to live in a Disney kind-of-world, all happy and gay (no pun intended), free flowing, everything is nice, problem free and not much to think about. Personally, if i'll live in a disney world i might die of diabetes coz there's too much sweetness everywhere. Though the perks of living in a Disney-world are:

1. You'll have Princessess as you're neighbors.
2. If you're car broke down or without gasoline you can always borrow the magic pumpkin or Aladdin's flying carpet.
3. You can borrow Abu or Stich or the 101 Dalamatians from their master and make them as your pet for a day
4. If you need baby sitter, just call Mary Poppins.
5. Swimming in the sea with Ariel and Nemo..when hungry why not look for sebastian......to lead you to the best lobster resto in Disneyworld
6. If seafood is not your thing, try the French resto Ratatouille
7. Hanging around with the Mickey Mouse club.

Hay, the possibilities are endless, but if i we're to choose what kind of multiverse i would live i rather be in a multiverse where:

1. the setting is like the Dino-Rider cartoons.
2. the British did not leave the Phils after they defeated the Spaniards (edi sana lahat tayp may accent na ngayon!)
3. Japan did not succeed in conquering Manila, therefore retaining the grandeur of the Ever Loyal City, especially the Intramuros and Malate.
4. im living with Shaun the sheep.
5. the Phils is in a parliamentary setting and we have a good prime minister and our country belong to G20.
6. the most number of First world nation comes from Africa.
7. Since Phils is a first world, we have many expats coming from Europe and have inter racial marriage (more blondes, more happiness).

Well, it's just a imagination, malabo pa sa mata ko na totoo ang multiverse. Sabi nga ng isang kanta "libre lang mangarap".

Though i would love to live in dino-rider setting....

When Anxiety Attack

A couple of days ago, i was confunded by a tremendous anxiety attack while here @ Saudi Arabia. i was very anxious (more to my normal self) on personal decisions and certain actions that i asked myself:

is this for real?
is this the right thing?
why do i have to do this?

there's no time to ponder if this action is right or wrong, there is no turning back once you're there on that situation. i just say a little prayer asking the lord "pls forgive me".

and i believe god never let his sheep gone astray. i've been a good boy naman for quiet sometime.

an hour passed.nothing happen.
second hour... nada
until i finally succumbed to sleep..and i must say it was one of my best sleep ever.

the next day, the thought still circling on my mind. maybe yesterday was not the day. maybe today or tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.

thank god nothing happen even after the day after tomorrow.

yesterday, i was talking to my good friend floro over the fone and confess to him this certain problem. he told me that god's love is far bigger than your sins. no matter how you have sin, when you repent about it, surely god will forgive you. and then he talks something about sins and forgiveness and some very deep religious term that i cannot even understand it already (hahaha, sorry bro, you really lived up to your desire to be a priest). But the only thing that i understand from his sermon was god loves me, dont do it again.period.

and my motto for that "JUST SAY NO!"

and now, after days of anxiety and nervousness over some thing. i finally have some peace.

mental note to self: must-improve-prayer-time

The story of the deaf frog and Mr. Compliment Guy

Naalala nio paba yung kwento about a group of frogs who fell on a deep well (or anything basta malalim) then each one of them tried to get to the surface but they end up dead by doing so and their frog friends in the surface keep on telling this one frog to stop jumping coz he'll be killed by doing it but eventually he manage to jump to the surface alive. And when the surface frog ask this survivor why he didn't follow their instruction to stop jumping and come-what-may-wait-and-see-attitude nalang he respond to them "i can't hear you coz im deaf".

Basta the story goes like that...

Anyway, the moral of the story is what we say can either make or break a person. Though actions speaks louder than words pero what goes out in our mouth sometimes can either be helpful or destructive to other people.

Gets nio ba?

I just remember this story after watching the season 8 episode 1 of The Family Guy last night (try to watch that show, it’s so hilarious!). Bryan and Stewie were transported in another universe where there is only one living man, and this man is called Mr. Compliment guy (or something). All he say is compliments and pampalakas ng loob kind of words to Stewie and Stewie want to stay on that universe coz he thinks it’s the best. Then it hit me, is our way of talking really affects other peoples life?

After watching the show, I ponder the lesson in the cartoon and the story of the deaf frog, and applied it to my personal life. Well, to be honest, I’m not the best person who compliments other people, nor give them good advice or words of wisdom. If I we’re in that frog story maybe I’m one of the “surface frog” who discourage the deaf frog not to jump. One “surface frog kind-of-attitude” I did was just recently, before I went here @ KSA and thank God my friend had a severe case of deaf ear coz he did not listen to me hahaha!

Now he’s living in a place where he found his true happiness, and I’m so proud and happy for him.

The point is, whatever we say or express to other people, whether you’re making an opinion or just plain being tactless, it still affects other people’s life whether on a positive way or the negative way =D. Well as for me, I’m trying to let go my “surface frog kind-of-attitude” and be the “Mr. Compliment guy” nalang. I think the later is much more fun than the former.

Tantantaran....

Andami kong mga kaibigan at kakilala na ikinasal or ikakasal ngayong taon. Marami rin akong pinuntahang mga binyagan ng mga anak ng aking mga kaibigan.Nakakatuwa actually to attend this kind of gathering, and to be with your friends on their special day. Pero minsan napapatanong ako sa sarili ko, kelan kaya ako naman ang magiinvite sa sarili kong kasal, or sa binyag ng anak man lang. Aba, im in the right age and im ready physically, spiritually and financially naman na, baka puede naman na. Sabi ko nga dati, pag na-achieve ko na ang mga requirements na ito eh gogogo na, wala nang makakapigil pa. And now i finally achieved this requirements baka puede na!

Then it hit me, "teka may GF ba ako?".

Wala nga pala akong girlfriend.Wahahahahaha!

On second thought, since nasa abroad ako now, mahirap pala ang long distance relationship (had experienced a very traumatic long distance relationship that almost ruined my life) so mahirap mag ka GF. Maybe next year pagbalik ko sa pinas i will finaly meet the "one". NO, it's not true na ang pagibig ay dadating ng kusa, in my understanding dpat hinahanap ito, we have to pursue it. it's like finding a diamond in piles of lupa.

Walang sense tong sinusulat ko pra dun sa mga taong hindi naniniwala sa kasabihang "first love never dies" or "love at first sight" or "love is a many splendored things" pero para sa mga taong marunong magmahal diba totoo naman ang kasabihang "ang pagibig pag pumasok sa puso ninuman, hahamakin ang lahat masunod ka lamang".

Let share our love to everyone, but our heart should be to the only one lang.

Basta pag nakita ko ung perfect girl, at minahal nia rin ako, invited kayo sa kasal ko. Pramis!
