smoking hot?
Smoking.
Who loves to smoke? Who doesn't know anyone who doesn't smoke? I bet there is none. Each of us has a friend, classmate, family member, workmate, neighbor that smokes cigarettes. And I find it very annoying. I don't smoke. Yes, I did try it, and after a few puffs, never did again. I despise people who smoke in certain public transportations such as the bus, the jeep or even some taxi cabs. Or to sum it all, I hate smokers.
What is it with smoking?
Some people say it relieves their stress, helps them with digestion, blahblahblahs. I think it's all in their minds. They can't seem to accept that cigars have nicotine, an addictive component. They deny that it is the main reason why they can't stop smoking.
So, what do smokers really get for puffing these cigars? We all know about the cancer, other illnesses, and yet it seems these smokers are just confident of themselves and their health huh?
* Cigarette smoking has been identified as the most important source of preventable morbidity and premature mortality in the United States and the world.
* Smoking-related diseases cause an estimated 440,000 American deaths each year.
* Smoking costs the United States over $150 billion annually in health care costs.
* A 2004 Study by the CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion found that cigarette smoke contains over 4,800 chemicals, 69 of which are known to cause cancer.
* Women account for 39 percent of all smoking deaths.
* Children and adolescents who are active smokers will have increasingly severe respiratory illness, as they grow older.
* A shocking . . . 1 out of every 5 deaths is caused by tobacco.
* It is estimated that tobacco is responsible for 400,000 deaths in the US every single year
*Cigarettes are responsible for about 25% of deaths from residential fires, causing nearly 1,000 fire-related deaths and 3,300 injuries each year.
* Tobacco is blamed for many serious cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases.
“It seems unlikely that we will be able to locate a toxicologist [ a scientist who studies poisons] who will give a 'clean' opinion to tobacco, even if (s)he agrees that ingredients pose no risk. The most realistic hope is that we can get an opinion that tobacco is a 'risk factor.'” -1986 R.J. Reynolds (RJR) document

Second Hand Smoking Facts
* The EPA reported the following about Secondhand smoke.
* 3,000 nonsmoking adults die of diseases caused by exposure to second hand smoke every year.
* Secondhand smoke causes coughing, phlegm, chest discomfort and reduced lung function in nonsmokers.
* US infants and children under 18 months of age suffer some 150,000 to 300,000 respiratory tract infections (lung diseases such as pneumonia and bronchitis) every year, leading to 7,500 to 15,000 hospitalizations.
I guess from all these things, I can not find anything positive with smoking. All I know, is that it kills. Yes, that cigar you've puffed earlier, may be your last, who knows. Or, if it doesn't kill you, the child next to you will suffer a lot more than you will do.
So please, when the sign says "No Smoking", just try to think of it as a personal message to you.
It will be a better place without smoking.

this is for Iran
Honestly, I am not well informed and educated about the current status in Iran right now. All i know is there was an election, and it was believed to have been rigged and a fraud. And as far as I learn from the news, people there are protesting against the government.
Sounds familiar right? It seems like another bit in a "news-around-the-world" where we just watch, and just shrug it off and become careless and insensitive to it. And just day to ourselves:" So what? I'm not in Iran. I don't know anybody in Iran. I've got more problems on my own, thanks."
True.
Indifference is ok? Wrong.
That must stop, right now. It's a different thing that we don't know anything at all, versus that we are aware, and yet, we still don't care. We are in the 21st century. All of us are global citizens. Barriers must be torn down. We are the ones separating ourselves from the world, from humanity.
Violence, arrests, crackdowns and media blackouts continue to increase in Iran in the aftermath of the recent presidential elections. wiki link
I don't want this to happen in my county, in my people. And I don't want to see these things happen to anyone.
How can I help? How can you help?
It may seem a gargantuan task, but if we all act together, we can do things, and as the cliche goes, make a difference.
This is from "Bloggers Unite for a Free Iran"

* ask democratic leaders from around the world to unite and stand up for the citizens of Iran
* let the people in Iran know that we are supporting them and their fight for freedom

wala pang 5 minutes, mainet pa ang pera from atm. ang pinaka una kong withdraw ng aking first paycheck.
sarap!
walang pasubali, pagkaen agad naisip ko, kase gutom na ko!
mali pa ung pili ko. dapat kase cheeseburger lang, e no.7 un, no.5 naman ang double cheeseburger.
di ko alam kung baket sinenyas ko lang e "5", at di na ako nagsalita sa gutom at pagmamadali.
( kase ung 7-11 sa katabi nya eh bano yung nasa counter. walang panukli. lagi na lang.)
ayon, ang cheeseburger ko, naging dobol!
isang double cheeseburger meal sa mcdo.
ikaw, ano ang sa'yo?
Paano bumati ng “gudam” (2x)
***yes, this is a repost aka product of a writer's block. had this on my friendster blog. a peek of a day's life when i was a call center agent.***
Paano bumati ng "gudam" sa umagang madilim at malamig.

Paano bumati ng "gudam" sa umagang madilim at malamig.
January 30, 2007
Madilim. Malamig. Alas-kwatro ng madaling araw. Naglalakad sa kalye na kung saan maraming nangyayaring di kanais-nais maski sa katanghaliang tapat na tirik ang araw at labu-labo ang mga tao sa pagkakalat sa kalyeng ito.
Pero walang magagawa, walang masasakyan papunta sa trabaho. Lakarin ng buong tapang, habang bulong-bulong ang mga panalangin. Nakakatawa, di ka naman madasalin, pero sa mga panahong ito na kung saan ang peligro ay di mo alam kung kailan gugulat sa yo.
Bigla kang nag Ama Namin, at ilang
Aba
Maria.
Nagulantang ng kaunti. Nagkahulan ang mga asong gala sa isang kanto na may kaluskos. Mga asong ligaw na walang may-ari, mga buto’t-balat at naglalaway. Binubutas ang mga plastik ng mga basura na nakatambak sa bakanteng lote, naghahanap ng makakain.
Binilisan ang mga hakbang, ingat sa pag-iwas.
Nanginig. Dahil isang sakmal lamang ng mga ito sa binti ninuman, rabies ang katapat mo syento porsyento. At wala man lang makakakita sayo, walang sasagot.
Dahil mag-isa mong nilalakad ang kalyeng ito, sa madilim at malamig na umagang malungkot.
Nagtext sa mga kaibigan. Pasilip-silip. Walang mensahe. Sapagkat tulog pa ang lahat sa kalamigan at kasarapan ng madaling-araw.
Umaasa na may sasagot sa pagbati sa umaga.
Maliwanag na sa kanto. Salamat sa 7-11. Sa labasan, parang mga langaw ang mga bagong labas na mga taxi sa paglapit sa mga mangilan-ngilang nakatayo sa mga sakayan ng jeep. Mga naghahanap ng bwena mano. Tipong kape lang ang almusal. Minsan nga ay wala.
Kapareho ko lang pala sila.
Umuugong na ang makina ng jeep. Sa wakas. Pagkasakay, kasabay mo ay mga masisipag na mga matatanda. Halos mamamalengke lahat. May nakabota. May naka-bayong. Mayron me timbang bitbit.
Ako, naka-polo, slacks, leather shoes.
Pagababa ng jeep, para ng killer bus. Ordinary bus na extraordinaryo. Extra alisto at dapat ay gising ka sa mga mangyayari sa bus.
Maraming nangyayare.
Malas. Nasakyan ay CUBAO IBABAW, CROSSING IBABAW. Panigurado mahuhuli ka sa trabaho. Dahil ginagawang pilahan ng mga bus ang mga yon para sa mga pasahero. Gusto mong sumimangot, pero malamig pa ang umaga, at madilim.
Masyadong maaga, dapat masaya.
Sa harap, may nakaupong magkasintahan. Hindi sila mag-asawa, dahil mahigpit na mahigpit ang yakap ng lalake sa babae, at panay ang halik. Parang tulog ang babae, naksandal ang babae sa balikat na lalake. At panay ang punas ng lalake sa noo ng babae. Alagang-alaga. Malambing na malambing. Pero walang imik ang babae. Pagod siguro. Di naman sila mukhang galing sa trabaho. At mukhang di rin naman papasok. Pero kapansin-pansin na parang wala sa sarili ang babae. Parang lasing o kung ano man. Wala ka na lang inimik. Napansin mo ang iteketa na damit na lalake, nasa labas. Baliktad ang t-shirt nya. At panay parin ang halik sa babaeng walang malay.
Sa kanan, may mamang mahimbing ang tulog. Malalim ang idlip. Pero kanina, mayron siyang katabi, parang kasama nya dahil magkadikit sila sa pagkakaupo. Pero wala na, kanina pa bumaba. At naalimpungatan ang mama. Gulat. Kinapa ang bulsa sa harap ng polong suot. May dinukot sa magkabilang-bulsa. Tumayo. Lumingon sa kaliwa, kanan, harap, likuran. Nagkatitigan kayo. Iwas ka ng tingin. Sinilip ang ilalim ng upuan. Paulit-ulit. Hanggang sa hinampas ng malakas ang upuan.may ngitngit, inis, at galit. Tinanong ang inosenteng konduktor kung napansin ang katabi nito. Alam mong isasagot niya na hindi.
“Kanina pa bumaba.” Sabay hampas sa upuan ang mama kakambal ang mura.
Bumaba ka na ng bus. Madilim. Malamig. Alas-kwatro kwarenta’y singko ng madaling araw. Naglalakad sa kalye na kung saan maraming nangyayaring di kanais-nais maski sa katanghaliang tapat na tirik ang araw.
Magsisimula pa lang ang umaga.

thoughtpic: out CA(s)T
sa pagsilip mula sa bintana ng aming psychward, ay maraming pusa tuwing 7 am. (or, maski anung oras pala).
gustong-gusto ko palagi yung eksena kapag tulog pa silang lahat at nagkukumpulan, siguro dahil malamig.
pero astig tong kuting na ito. rebelde ata.
tsaka ang aga-aga pa maligo.

Bangag na Paalam
dear manikmakina,
kamusta? eto, bangag at basag ako ngayon. dahil after 2 months ay naibalik ako sa rotation ng night shift na 10pm to 6am. masakit sa ulo. sira ulit body clock ko. pero sige, ayos lang sana eh.
oo despedida rin ni krizel bago ako pumasok, dahil alis na siya next week pa abroad, basta sa middle east daw, para dun mag nars.
di ko nasulit ang toma at pulutan, pero ayos lang.
babawi na lang ako.
kaya krizel, ingat na lang ang mga arabo sayo.
mag sanay ka na mag mask. di dahil sa h1n1. pero dahil sa kanilang mga "firecrackers" na natural odor.
palaki ka na lang ng masel para matakot sila sayo ng husto. cheers!
so, bakit naman ako nabangag ng husto? well, bukod sa puyat, (mga 2-3 hours lang itinulog ko bago pumasok), nakakapagod din ang aming duty kanina sa psychward.
marami ang magugulo at pasaway, kaya, marami ang naka mechanical restraints, or naka-tali ang kanilang extremities sa kanilang kama. sounds barbaric? hindi naman. don't worry, di kami nagtatali dahil trip lang. ordered din naman ng mga doctor yun, kaya di ako berdugo. (defensive?)
bukod pa run, ay may dalawa kaming admission, ang isa ay 11pm dumating, at ang isa nama'y halos 5 am na. parehong lalaki. ang isa, 20 anyos, ang isa, 60 anyos. parehong "manic". o kaya'y restless, sleepless, disruptive, hyper religious, verbally abusive, attention seeking. (nag-iisip ka na ba ng may kilalang ganito?)
pareho silang pasaway, magulo at di makausap ng matino para mabigyan ng instructions, kaya, dagdag sila sa lisatahan ng mga natali namin.
bukod pa roo'y mayroon kaming na ECT. anu yung ECT? Electro-Convulsive Therapy. Ibig sabihin, gagamitan ng minimal controlled electric voltage ang tao na nakadirect sa kanyang utak. Sounds barbaric? Yes. Pero wag mo isiping silya-electric. Di naman natutusta ang pasyente.
Samu't sari rin ang nangyari kagabi. Kaya wasted at wasak ako paguwi.
Di naman bilog ang buwan recently. Mukhang marami lang ang trip mag-wala ngayon. Ingat na lang sa mga readers. Or ingat na lang sakin no?

SPOILER!:Transformers 2:Revenge of the Fallen
This is the first screening day of the much-anticipated robot sequel to the box-office hit Transformers. After 2 years, we can finally see the Autobots and Decepticons battle it out again in Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.
The same cast and crew are back. Sam Witwicky (Shia Labeouf) is getting ready for another adventure, which is going to college. And his girlfriend, Mikaela will be left behind, together with Sam's parents, and his guardian, a Chevrolet Camaro robot, Bumblebee.
Then, something else goes wrong. Sam had a "minor accident" with an Allspark shard, which caused him to "see" alien symbols, which neither he, or any other known Transformer is able to understand. It is some sort of code, or a map.
But the Decepticons knew it leads to something very important, or rather, somewhere very important, which leads to an incomparable energy that will give them supreme dominance over their rival Autobots. Thus, they hunt for Sam.
If from the first movie, their leader Megatron was killed and buried deep in the ocean floor, yeah, you guessed it right, he will be resurrected.
And if you're asking if he's "The Fallen", the answer is a big NO. He is the ancestor of Decepticons, who once roamed Earth hundreds of years ago, who wanted to kill mankind. But was defeated by the Primes, or the ancestors of the Autobots. He is now seeking refuge, somewhere in deep space, waiting for the time to have his revenge, and Sam Witwicky will lead them to the key.
As the Autobots learn of this development, they must stop every Decepticon summoned from space who tries to hunt Sam, Mikaela, and even his parents. Helping them are the NEST, the same special military team that helped the Autobots fight the Decepticons on the first movie.
- More robots. A lot of robots. And huge ones too.
- Lots of explosions. Big bangs, big booms. Your seat and eardrums will shake every 5 seconds.
- Edge-of-seat feel. Some scenes will get your heart worked out.
- Great special effects. Almost realistic
- Not much plotholes
- Corny lines. Michael Bay must hire better writers. Too "slapstick".
- Off scenes. Again, on the "comedy" side. Too much dog pumping scenes. And a mini-robot dry-humping Megan Fox's foot. TOO unnecessary!
- Predictability factor.
- Too much focus on the "love" story between Sam and Mikaela.
- Unnecessary shots of Megan Fox trying to be "extra-sexy".
- Less Transformer robot focus. especially on fight scenes.
- Crowd scenes of running "ala-Armageddon".
Ok. This is a PG-13 film. And I'm a cartoon fan of the original series. It's okay for me over-all to watch this film. I am not looking for an Oscar-worthy performance here, I understand I wanted to see it to enjoy and have myself entertained.
But, the problem with sequels, they have this risk of getting the same mistakes from the first movie. For the Transformers movie series, it's about the lines. The comedy part is not a comedy part anymore. Yes, Michael Bay is not known as a comedian director, but they can do better lines than that. And I think Michael Bay just focused on explosions, crashes, fireballs, and explosions.
The verdict? I'm quite dissapointed.
I expected too much as the Transformer 1 was a success.
But this time, it fails.
I'm not sure on the box-office success this time, but over-all, it won't live up to people's expectations.
If the first Transformer movie is a 4, the Transformers 2:Revenge of the Fallen is a 3.

As the Autobots learn of this development, they must stop every Decepticon summoned from space who tries to hunt Sam, Mikaela, and even his parents. Helping them are the NEST, the same special military team that helped the Autobots fight the Decepticons on the first movie.
++What's right with it++
- More robots. A lot of robots. And huge ones too.
- Lots of explosions. Big bangs, big booms. Your seat and eardrums will shake every 5 seconds.
- Edge-of-seat feel. Some scenes will get your heart worked out.
- Great special effects. Almost realistic
- Not much plotholes
++What's wrong with it++
- Corny lines. Michael Bay must hire better writers. Too "slapstick".
- Off scenes. Again, on the "comedy" side. Too much dog pumping scenes. And a mini-robot dry-humping Megan Fox's foot. TOO unnecessary!
- Predictability factor.
- Too much focus on the "love" story between Sam and Mikaela.
- Unnecessary shots of Megan Fox trying to be "extra-sexy".
- Less Transformer robot focus. especially on fight scenes.
- Crowd scenes of running "ala-Armageddon".
++Commentary++
Ok. This is a PG-13 film. And I'm a cartoon fan of the original series. It's okay for me over-all to watch this film. I am not looking for an Oscar-worthy performance here, I understand I wanted to see it to enjoy and have myself entertained.
But, the problem with sequels, they have this risk of getting the same mistakes from the first movie. For the Transformers movie series, it's about the lines. The comedy part is not a comedy part anymore. Yes, Michael Bay is not known as a comedian director, but they can do better lines than that. And I think Michael Bay just focused on explosions, crashes, fireballs, and explosions.
The verdict? I'm quite dissapointed.
I expected too much as the Transformer 1 was a success.
But this time, it fails.
I'm not sure on the box-office success this time, but over-all, it won't live up to people's expectations.
++Rating++
Out of possible 5.If the first Transformer movie is a 4, the Transformers 2:Revenge of the Fallen is a 3.

this is a like it!
Bihira ko lang gawin ito. Pero sa pagkakataong ito, di ko na palalagpasin ito. Dahil kumbaga sa facebook, i-cclick ko ang LIKE THIS.
(At Lord, patawad po sa pang-ookray na ito. Minsan lang po ito. Marami rin naman pong nang-ookray sa akin, so kwits lang.)
Mayroon akong lumang account sa isang social networking site (note:not friendster!). Di ko na ito na-update (kaya nga luma eh), pero para pang-trip lang, ay binuksan ko ito kamakailan lang. Bakit? Dahil nga pang-trip nga lang eh. Ay, isa pa palang dahilan ay may sakit ako, kaya di ako makalabas ng bahay at nasa kompyuter lang ako madalas.
Ayon.
So, parang sa "search people" ng site, tumingin tingin ako ng mga random profiles ng mga tao, ke babae, lalake, bakla, tomboy, butiki, baboy. May mga parang peke na account, may parang tunay na kanila nga. May mga nakakatuwa, at marami ang mga nakakatawa. Minsan sa picture pa lang. (oops, okray ulit)
Pero mas trip ko yung mga "About me" nila. At so far, ito ang isa sa pinakamalupit na nakita ko.
Itago natin siya sa name na "JOY". Kung i-dedescribe ko ang picture niya, sabihin na nating pwede siyang pang-tv ang dating, pang-FHM ang katawan, so in short, ok. (oh, di yan okray ha)
Sorry pero di ko pwede ilagay ang picture. Bakit? Dahil mas malupit ang "KANYANG" sinulat:
"if you ask why i need to find my soulmate and put up my numbers in my account, is it because ive experienced to be hurt, that is why, i want to find the man of my life here in the net, anyway, if you think so that you are the Mr. Right send me letter and picture of you in my mail address dont ask me why...?! i just the love the old type of showing love and care and not like this time, we are so technology dependent, so if you really want me to be your girl, do it, dont worry, im not a witch, i just want that we continue our communication by means of letters & our own penmanship, at the same time, i want that the man who is lucky, will not broke my hurt that easy because he suffer a lot just to hear & get my sweet YES.... take note: im in a hurry to have a boyfriend, the deadline is through out this year.... so....what are you waiting for....! take care, mwaah"

Pinoy impresses NBA scouts
Great news for Pinoys and basketball fans. Japeth Aguilar, the former Ateneo Blue Eagle, is making noise and getting attention on the international basketball scene, particularly from NBA scouts.He scored positive feedbacks as he showcased his talent and potential at a recently conducted try-out at the U.S. Can't wait to see him suit up for the RP Team a.s.a.p.

Filipino cager impresses NBA scouts
By Ronnie Nathanielsz
JAPETH Aguilar, who will join the Philippine national team coached by Yeng Guiao in the Jones Cup in Taipei and the Fiba Asia Men’s Basketball Championships in Tianjin, China in August, has impressed scouts on the first day of tryouts conducted by the NBA Developmental League in Los Angeles, Saturday.
Joseph Pimentel of ABS-CBN’s North American bureau and who shot exclusive footage of the tryouts and interviewed NBA scouts about Aguilar told www.insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports that the 6’10” center looked good.
NBA scout Hernando Planells, who scouts for Marty Blake, Director of Scouting Services for the NBA, gave Pimentel his assessment of Aguilar.
“He s got potential. Athletically, he can run with the best big men out there. He’s long, athletic. He’s great. He had a block shot on a three-pointer. I think those are things that are definitely going to help him. Athleticism is the key to the game, whether it’s international or the NBA, so I think he has the potential to do some damage,” Plannells told Pimentel.
The scout added: “You’re looking for athleticism, you are looking for guys who can jump. Scoring is secondary. You want guys with good hands who can rebound because when you go to the next level, you’re looking for guys who can find a niche. Guys who can block shots, guys who can make the easy baskets. Things like that.”
Pimentel told Standard Today that although Aguilar’s team lost both games they played during the scrimmage, the lanky Filipino, who played for Western Kentucky University in the US National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I, had “a few blocked shots”
But he said the big centers and power forwards pushed him around a bit because of Aguilar’s slim frame, but that he compensated for this with his “leaping ability.”

ITS ONE IN ONE
"It's one in one"- Money PacMan's "H1N1"
***
Importante ang mga naganap na recent developments tungkol sa "Swine Flu", o ang Influenza A H1N1.
Marami akong naririnig na mga komento mula sa taong bayan na sila ay nasosobrahan na sa "paranoia" tungkol sa sakit na ito. Ang iba naman ay sobrang apektado dahil sila mismo ay natatakot at nagiging paranoid, maski sa pakikisalamuha sa ibang tao, lalo na sa mga taong galing ng ibang bansa.
Kung meron mang positibo sa mga nakaraang araw, ang karamihan sa atin ay mas naging health conscious, na siyang magiging pangunahing paraan para maiwasan di lang ang H1N1, ngunit pati na rin ang ibang sakit.
Merong masamang balita kahapon. Dahil may namatay na Pinoy na positibo sa Influenza A(H1N1). Ang pinakahuling bilang ng kaso sa bansa ay 445, pero ayon sa DOH, 374 dito ay magaling na.
Sabi ni Health Secretary Francisco Duque III, ang ikinamatay ng 49-taong gulang na ginang ay “congestive heart failure secondary to acute myocardial infarction aggravated by severe pneumonia – either bacterial, viral or both.”
At bukod pa rito, ay mayroon pa siyang tuberculosis, enlarged liver, kidney at spleen, tumor sa uterus at tyromegaly o goiter.
Kaya di rin matukoy kung ang H1N1 nga ba ang naging pangunahing dahilan ng kanyang pagkamatay, pero ang tiyak ay paniguradong nakatulong ito sa mga nasabing mga sakit.
Nakikiramay ang DOH sa pamilya ng namatay na ginang.

++ Di ako takot. Anu nga ulit sintomas ng H1N1?++
Ito ay ayon sa website ng CDC.
Is novel H1N1 virus contagious?
CDC has determined that novel H1N1 virus is contagious and is spreading from human to human. However, at this time, it is not known how easily the virus spreads between people.
What are the signs and symptoms of this virus in people?
The symptoms of novel H1N1 flu virus in people are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have been infected with this virus also have reported diarrhea and vomiting. Also, like seasonal flu, severe illnesses and death has occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus.

So, eto na ang koneksyon sa akin. Galing ako sa outing kasama ng aking mga katrabaho sa ospital sa Pansol, Laguna mula June 20 hanggang 21. Oo, enjoy. Maraming toma, maraming chow. Masarap ang pool. Libre videoke.
Pero anak ng tipaklong. Pag-ahon ko sa pool, kayganda ng timing, pero tinablan ako ng lagnat.
Wala kaming dalang thermometer, pero sa experience ko sa ospital at sa pagkapa ng mga pasyente, tantya ko ay more or less nasa 39 degrees Celsius ang init ko noon.
Buti na lang at puro nars ang mga kasama ko, at may boyscout akong kasama at may dala na rin isang banig ng paracetamol.
Ok lang ang lagnat. Pero bago ako bumyahe at umalis ng bahay, tinablan ako ng super tindi na sakit ng ulo, na noon ko lang naranasan. Pero ininda ko lang dahil baka sa kakanood ko lang ng mga ano...ng mga palabas sa tv, hehe.
Pagkalipas ng lagnat, nakaranas naman ako ng sakit ng katawan. Yung para bang nagbuhat ka ng malaking bagahe, tapos imbes na tiniklop mo tuhod mo ay sa bewang ka kumuha ng bwelo, na halos nakatuwad? Ganun.
Hanggang pag-uwi ko ng bahay ay taas-baba lagnat ko. Wala naman akong ubo o sipon, pero para akong malat at medyo masakit ang lalamunan.
Hanggang sa mga panahong ito, nakaranas naman ako ng LBM. Oo, nakakahiyang sabihin. Pero naghuhugas ako ha! Pero talagang halos maya't-maya ako sa C.R. Di pa naman diarrhea, pero malapit-lapit na siguro.
Pero ramdam ko ang panghihina ng katawan maski ilang araw na akong nasa bahay lang.
So ako'y nagka-fever. Headache. Bodyache. Sore Throat. Fatigue. LBM/semi-diarrhea.
Hmmm....nagbyahe ba ako sa Mexico?...
Teka, c.r. muna ako...

ASTIG nga!!!!
Ang saya! Dahil di ko inaasahan na ang bloga ko tungkol sa Dog Tag Day ng Ako Mismo ay mapapansin ng mismong taga Ako Mismo Org.
At ang mas malupet pa roon, ay humingi sila ng permiso na maishare ang aking article na may subtitle na "++ASTIG!++", na dali-dali naman akong pumayag.
At kanina ngang umaga, ako'y sinabihan na lamang ni Russee na naidyaryo na raw ang aking pangalan at ang aking bloga.
Di ako makapaniwala nung una.
Pero nung nakita ko na nga, nagulat ako at natuwa ng malupit!!!
Kaya bumili pa ako ng isa kong kopya.
Pagdating sa bahay:
reigun: "Mami, nasa dyaryo ako!"
mami: "patingin nga?...." (tinignan) "Ah..teka, di ko mabasa, wala akong salamin."
reigun:"....ayun pangalan ko oh.."
mami:" ahhh.. oo nga noh, teka basahin ko.."
reigun:" nakita nila sinulat ko sa blog. ayan yung inatendan naming concert."
mami:"dapat marami kang binili."
reigun:"wala akong pera eh, hehe."
Ayun ako. (teka, diko mabasa)

FAME:I'm gonna live forever?
“Fame
I'm gonna live forever
Baby remember my name”
I'm gonna live forever
Baby remember my name”
Who wants fame? Who wants VIP status? Who wants that lifestyle of the rich and famous?
Or, the right question must be: Is there anyone who doesn't want fame?
I guess everybody deep inside of us wants to be famous. That's why "regular" people idolize many celebrities, be it sports athletes, movie actors, politicians, artists, etc.
And is an aspiring artist, who wants to be successful, willing to do anything to be famous? Such as sex, drugs, money and scandals?
I guess, not all of them.
We heard about what Paris Hilton did.
News were all about Britney.
Snoop Dogg had his spotlight on.
Then there’s 50 Cent, Kanye West, and Lindsay Lohan to name a few.
Oh, and yeah, Michael Jackson.
Creativity has nothing to do with these things. These factors are just staple ingredients of (in)famous celebrities who happens to have gone through some difficult times.
Yes, money does make the world go round, and it is a major factor for every living thing here on earth. I don’t see any problem dealing with money in the music business, as long as it is well-earned, then they deserve it.
But sex? An artist can be celibate and yet that person’s mind can’t stop the outflow of creative juices if he/she wanted to. An artist doesn’t have sex whenever they do their stuff, so, that means it just plays a minor part to an artist’s achievement.
Drugs? Some artist claim getting “inspiration” in doing their craft by using drugs, or alcohol. That may be true, but there are a lot of evidences of the ill-effects of these substances. Amy Winehouse may be known for her antics, but she can be really good without any other distractions and artificial “inspiration.”
And obviously scandal is not a good thing. Yes, you may get publicity from it. But in any other angle, it will always be a scandal. Take a cue from the King of Pop.
I may sound biased against artists who are known for their lifestyle of sex, drugs, and scandals. It is great to hear stories from successful people who went through the “blind” path, and did some wrongs, and yet they found their way out and have given themselves to be reborn.
And I’m sure, those people, if given another chance, wouldn’t have done the things they did. And they won’t preach on doing the same things they have done.
This is not limited to artists only, but also valid for every aspiring person who wanted to be successful.
There is a line that says: ” Nice guys finish last.”
But I say:”Nice guys finish right.”
And for sure, Fame will still remember your name.

BAKLESE!
Baklese: Pinoy Pop Queer Dictionary
by Louie Cano
33 pages ISBN - 9789718280539by Louie Cano
Description: “Badutch, vhaklers, botomesa, ecla-voo, mascula-doll, pa-mhinta. It’s not what you call me, but what I answer to.”
This is the first dictionary of Filipino gayspeak. Very informative and entertaining!
Para sa mga di nakakakilala sa akin, di po ako bading, badingerzie, voltron, vaklush, atbp. Ako po ay straight na lalake. Pero dahil ako ay may mga kaibigan na mga gays, sila ay aking naiintindihan at ako ay walang hadlang sa kanilang kalayaan. Sila ay kapantay nating lahat. At sa ayaw nyo man tanggapin, sila ay nakakatuwa!
Kaya naman nung nakita ko ang libro na ito galing sa kaibigan kong lalake (hindi rin siya jundingski), pinabasa niya ito at natuwa ako. May nabasa na rin akong dictionary na parang Pinoy slang, na kung saan ang mga salitang tila naimbento lang ng ating panahon ay isinama sa pawang pormal na paglilimbag ng libro, tulad ng mga salitang "kupal". Nag-enjoy din akong basahin yon dahil dito ko nakikilala ang kultura ng Pinoy ngayon.
Pero iba ang "Gay Lingo". Inventive ika nga. Nakakaaliw, nakakatawa, nakakatuwa, bastos. At sa totoo lang, challenging dahil di ko alam yung ibig sabihin ng ibang salita pag naririnig ko.
Mahilig pa naman ako sa mga "etymology" ng mga salita kung saan ito galing at kung anung ibig sabihin, dahil dito, mas madali ko maiintindihan at mas madaling gamitin.
Ang ibang salitang "gay" ay alam ko na, pero sooooobrang dami pa palang words na ngayon ko lamang narinig!At nakakatuwa kapag celebrity names ang ginagamit nila!
Ilan lamang ito sa napakaraming salita sa Baklese. At sa pagkakaalam ko, mayroon na palang Baklese vol.2! chorva!

Ten for the Zen
The NBA season is now officially over.
Superman and Orlando Magic lost in their own homecourt, giving Los Angeles Lakers its 15h franchise championship title, Kobe Bryant's 4th ring (1st without Shaq), and Coach Phil Jackson's 10th ring.
It will be a long tough summer for Superman, Jameer, Hedo, Rashard, and Coach Stan Van Gundy. But they exceeded every expectations, and they got more than what other people thought. They're not just good enough for the Lakers.
Much respect for this young team.
The Lakers deserved the ring more than any other team this season. They had a very difficult road to the Finals, eliminating tough opponents like Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets, and the Denver Nuggets.
They lost the Finals last year to the rival Boston Celtics, and lost that game in an embarassing way.
And this year, they made sure it won't happen again. (or, on them that is)
This time, it is sweet redemption for the Finals MVP, Kobe Bryant. As much as many fans adore him, he also has a lot of critics and doubters. For those people who kept on saying that he won't win another ring without Shaquille O'Neal, he proved them wrong.
And as for that line of thought, that critique would be very immature, and say childish.
First of all, would Shaq win 3 titles with the Lakers without Kobe? Would Shaq won his 4th with the Heat without D-Wade? Would the Lakers win titles without Robert Horry, Rick Fox, Derek Fisher, Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol, etc.?
Or would Jordan won 6 titles without Scottie Pippen, Steve Kerr, John Paxson, Dennis Rodman, etc.?
Basketball is, and will always be, a team basketball. You can be the best player, but without good teammates, you won't succeed. Go ask Reggie Miller, Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Allen Iverson, and many other ring-less greats.
In NBA, amazing happens, but everybody needs everybody.
And while we are on the count of rings, it doesn't matter much either. Maybe you'l think, the more rings a player has, the better he is among others. That may be true, but not all the time. Bill Russell may have 11 rings, and yeah, he's also a Hall of Famer. But Robert Horry has 7 rings. so, does that make him better than Michael Jordan, who "only" has 6 rings?
So, that argument of who has the most rings will not always be a reliable source for comparison.
By the way, Steve Kerr has four rings, matching Kobe's 4.
Personally, if you'd deal with the number of rings, I'd like to associate it better with the coaches. For they are the central driving force of gathering the team, guiding and teaching them the game. They deal with great players, and mix them up with mediocre talents. They deal with monsterous egos, and must tame them for the good of the team.
Coach Phil Jackson got his 10th ring, the most by any coach in NBA history, eventually passing the late Red Auerbach, the great Boston Celtics coach, leaving him with 9 rings.
The Zen Master's dominance in the NBA now spans two decades, winning 6 with arguably the best player ever, Michael Jordan, then won three championships with Shaquille O'Neal as the alpha dog, and now this time with Kobe as the Finals MVP.
Coach Phil's job may seem easy when his team has a Jordan/Shaq/Kobe. But dealing with these superstars and their ego's may be a more difficult task than imagined. Plus the chemistry of players, down to the last player sitting on the bench, affects the whole team, and may alter the season.
But Jackson did a great job. He loved preparation. He loved teaching new kids not just on plays, but focused more on mental toughness on each player, for them to make the plays come crunch time.
That's why he always seemed calm, quiet, and rarely stands up despite down 10 points in a game, because he knew he prepared his players well.
He didn't care if Andrew Bynum gets in foul trouble, or if Lamar messes up a play, or Kobe missed a shot, or Trevor Ariza gets a technical, or Pau hobbling down the court. It's because he trusts his team that they, as a whole, as a wolfpack, can do things together.
This team may not be the best team in NBA history, but the Zen made sure they at least play like one.
And for that, I'd say Phil is the best NBA coach.( and kudos to you Mr. Red, but I think someone is better, like ever).

Superman and Orlando Magic lost in their own homecourt, giving Los Angeles Lakers its 15h franchise championship title, Kobe Bryant's 4th ring (1st without Shaq), and Coach Phil Jackson's 10th ring.
It will be a long tough summer for Superman, Jameer, Hedo, Rashard, and Coach Stan Van Gundy. But they exceeded every expectations, and they got more than what other people thought. They're not just good enough for the Lakers.Much respect for this young team.
The Lakers deserved the ring more than any other team this season. They had a very difficult road to the Finals, eliminating tough opponents like Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets, and the Denver Nuggets.
They lost the Finals last year to the rival Boston Celtics, and lost that game in an embarassing way.
And this year, they made sure it won't happen again. (or, on them that is)

mahirap
dear manikmakina,
pagod ako. galing ako sa duty sa ospital. at may pumanget na namang pasyente. ang kaninang iniwan ko na medyo ok pa, malamang pagbalik ko bukas ay naka mechanical ventilator na.
mahirap ang trabaho.
nakakapagod sa katawan. at sa utak.
pati emosyon, pati gana sa pagaken, maaapektuhan. sana kayanin ko pa.
buti nalang at nandoon ang libro ni paul: BAKLESE: Pinoy Pop Queer Dictionary by Louie Cano.
Maganda ito. di lang pang badingerzie ito. nakakatawa, at masarap ding matutunan ang mga gay words. tipong pwede mong gamitin. (pero kung tunay kang lalake, gamitin mo na lang as joke para medyo safe ka pa rin.)
naka 3 araw na akong straight na duty, at 3 araw na sunod pa. di ko na maantay ang off ko. pati na rin ang sweldo. ang tagal ng sweldo. kinakapos na ako.
nahihirapan na akong magbudget kung sa pagkaen ko ba ito gagastusin, o para sa pamasahe.
anu ba mas maganda: di bale nang gutom, nasa bahay naman? o di bale nang maglakad pauwi, busog naman?
o di bale nang may utang, kesa magmukhang tanga?
mahirap ata pag-isipan yan.

Rediscover Manila–aboard a Pasig River cruise
Rediscover Manila–aboard a Pasig River cruise
MANILA, Philippines – “The state of the Pasig River today mirrors the state of the country. And the potential of the river mirrors the potential of the country. It might take a generation to make it happen, but the river, and the country, can be transformed,” said Tourism Secretary Ace Durano as he observed the view from the deck of the Pasig River Ferry.
Durano recently took the ferry as part of the launch of a new tourism program. Thanks to a partnership between Philcoa, an association of tour operators that exclusively promotes in-bound and domestic tourism, and Department of Tourism and ABS-CBN’s “Kapit Bisig sa Ilog Pasig” project, visitors can now use the Pasig River “to see and explore Manila.”
Alternative
Providing an alternative to the more conventional tour package trips to Luneta, the National Museum or Intramuros, this new program is centered on the concept of “Beyond the Usual.” Its first tour, “Pasig Ferry Cruise and Binondo Culinary Walking Tour” is just the beginning.
The ferryboat cruise will start at the station in Mandaluyong and end in Escolta. En route, the air-conditioned, 150-passenger boat passes historical areas such as Malacañang Palace and Sta. Ana. An outside deck is also available for those who want fresh air and a glimpse of water lilies floating by.
Starting in September, pre-taped audio-visual presentations will be shown onboard on all ferries with tours, with historical facts and stories shared as each particular area of interest is passed by the ferry.
A guide from the Mabuhay Guides group, the DOT’s highly-trained team of tourist guides, will meet the group at Escolta and conduct a three-hour walking tour of the highlights of Binondo.
The tour provides historical information and insights on what life was like in a bygone era, with visits to streets such as Escolta, Tomas Pinpin, Quintin Paredes, Ongpin, Condesa, and Enrique Yuchengco.
A visit to a local Philippine-Chinese temple is also included. To provide a break from experiencing the sights and sounds of this bustling area of little streets and alleys, stops are made at different eateries where participants can try things such as delicious dumplings and fresh Chinese lumpia.
Although walking tours of Binondo exist, this program is unique in that it uses the Pasig River as a means to transport local and foreign tourists to the heart of what was once “Chinatown.”
Walking tours emanating from other Pasig River Ferry stations will be launched in September.
Within the next two years, tourists will be able to disembark at the Mexico station for a walking tour of Intramuros; the Sta. Ana station for a heritage tour of Sta. Ana; and Guadalupe for shopping at nearby Shangri-La Plaza, and SM Megamall.
Sense of pride
As Clang Garcia, owner of Jeepney Tours and Philcoa member, says, “It gives me a sense of pride to rediscover the richness of Philippine history. Seeing it through such an unusual experience of traveling on the Pasig River only heightens that affect. It made me feel connected to my real identity as a Filipino.”
According to Durano, the Pasig River tour program is important because everything begins with building appreciation of this vital waterway.
“We just need more people to appreciate it and to not continue the mind-set of past generations, which have neglected what we have. It can dramatically improve the quality of life of residents of Metro Manila,” he says.
The Pasig Ferry Cruise, along with its peripheral tours, is just one example of the “Beyond the Usual” tour packages that have been created by Philtoa. The rest will be officially launched at the Philippine Travel Mart on Sept. 4. The fair is open to the public.

++ASTIG!++
Yan ang description ko sa pag-spend ko ng ika-111 araw ng kalayaan ng pinas. Ako mismo ay nagpunta sa dog tag day ng Ako Mismo sa The Fort sa Boni, Taguig kahapon.
Alas-2 pa lang ng hapon ay nandoon na kami ni russee upang makaiwas sa mahaaaaabaaang pila ng katauhan. At sa halagang 40 pesos, ay may dog tag na kami, na magsisilbin ticket papasok ng concert.
Pagkatapos sumaglit sa Fully Booked upang magpalamig, ay pumasok na kami. May binili akong shirt ng TeamManila, na ang proceeds ay mapupunta sa isang charity.
Nagulat kami dahil 4pm na ay nakapwesto pa rin kami sa pinakaharap, bandang kaliwa ng stage, kaya, ayos!
More or less ay 20,000 katao ang nandoon nung gabing yon!
++AYAN NA!++
Ang kulet ng mga hosts na sila Ramon Bautista at Marc Abaya. Nagstart ang concert kasama ang mga up and coming bands. May mga malulupet din na mga bago lang sa pandinig ko. Ang ilan sa mga iyon ay ang Roots of Nature, na mix ng acoustic, punk at funk music. At ang mga SKA bands (think of Put3Ska), tulad ng Juan Pablo Dream (sa wakas nagbalik sila), at ang Skabeche (galing!).
Bawat tugtog ng banda ng 3 kanta, ay ipininapakilala nila Ramon at Marc ang mga charity, organization, at mga participating groups para sa "ako mismo".
Ilan sa mga "front-acts" ng concert ay Stonefree at Hale. Pagkatapos ay nagreak sandali, at habang naghihintay ay nagflash sa screen ang mga pledges ng mga nag-sign up. Ilan dito ay super lupet!
At bandang 7pm, lumabas si Ely Buendia at nagbigay ng maikli, pero importanteng mensahe. Pagkatapos ay nagstart na ang tugtugang malupit.
Nag-umpisa ang The Dawn, with Barbie Almalbis on guitars (wala si Francis Brew), at kasama si hiphiop artist D-Coy, at tinugtog nila ang "Mga Kababayan Ko" ni FrancisM in his honor. Ang saya ng tugtugan nila.
Sumunod na tumugtog ay ang Up Dharma Down. Pagkatapos ng smooth at relaxing at chilling sound ng Up Dharma Down, ay nagsimula na an malupit na idol kong banda: KAMIKAZEE!
Wasak na wasak na naman ang set ng Kamikazee. At ang pledge nga ni Jay ay :"Kami mismo ay magbabago na." Tawanan ang lahat ng tao kay Jay.
Pagkatapos ng Kamikazee, nagpahinga naman sa paghohost si Marc, at sumunod na tumugtog ang Kjwan. At tulad ni Jay nung una, nagtanggal siya ng t-shirt, at ibinato sa mga tao. Bumaba siya ng stage, at may nahalikan pa atang isa(o dalawa?)female fan.
Next naman ang Bamboo. Ang ganda ng set ng Bamboo, full power na naman ang level ni Bamboo, at lumapit siya sa mga tao, at sa mini-stage ng camera siya nagperform ng Hallelujah.
At ang finale, ang Pupil. Bago pa man pumasok ang Pupil ay nagsisigawan na ang lahat ng "ELY!ELY!ELY!". At sinimulan na nga nila ang pagtatapos ng matagumpay na gabi.
Tinugtog din nila ang kantang "Sala", na binago ng kaunti para maging theme song ng Ako Mismo.
Ang Lupet!
