Calm before the storm

No rain yet but a super typhoon heading our way and is predicted to make landfall tomorrow evening and hit Metro Manila by Friday evening. Weather bureau sadi it's powerful storm and probably with thesame intensity gustiness or even worse than that of milenyo. I just hope basic services like phone and electricity doesn't get affected like it did the last time...which made people curse Meralco!

Newsies

Saw from the news yesterday that court's decision for Subic rape trial of four U.S. Marines will be handed down Monday the 27th 4th of December. I'll just blog my own two cents worth of thoughts later. Right! Like people would care what I think. Ha!

*edit... the verdict for the Subic trial has been moved. The judge said more time needed to study and think and weigh in before making decision. By the way our courts have no jury system. So it's up to the judge. But sometimes public opinion affects decision in favor of or against. But that should not be the case.

'Pacman' king of the ring! finishing Morales with KO!

Woohooo! Nation is rejoicing! Oh yes! the whole of Philippines was at stand still. Everybody and I mean everybody watched the whole Manny Paquiao vs Eric Morales fight earlier in the day and boy it was thrilling three rounds. Just three rounds! It didn't even go to the full 12. Manny won via knoclout in the 3rd round of the fight (I think..cos Morales fell 3x and couldn't get up anymore--too bruised and tired). Once again the 'Pacman' proved to the boxing community he is the best of his class! Pound for pound punch for punch, he's got the power the stamina and determination and he won! He is boxing's superstar at the moment! Hooray!

I'm no boxing fan but hey, gotta support our own. :)

Going crazy for Sony PS3! I'll take Nintendo's Wii, thank you very much!

Let the frenzy begin! Sony debuting the new PS3! Oh my goodness!!! Diehard gamers, dying literally just to have their hands with the new PS3. People are killing each other, braving the cold weather, saved months of money just to buy the newly released Play Station 3! The retail price $500 (25,000 pesos) but man, at Ebay it sells for$9,000! Whaaaaatttt! that's a whopping 450000 pesos (if my calculation is correct). but I'll betcha, the fools gonna seel theirs for more than $9,000 maybe as far as $15000 ot $24000. Absurd! FOOLS! I think I can say oh my damn goodness again! Shit! I can buy myself brand new car for that money and even for the retail price, I'll buy me a new cellphone! or go on a shopping spree!

My newphew would probably want PS3 but he's 10 and he's not a serious gamer yet so he's into gameboy advance.

And what of Nintendo's Wii? better! I'll have it! Good price, nice console cool remote control wand. I saw the CNN report about the console and boy, I agree with the kids that were interviewed! asked to choose from Wii or PS3 guess who won? I think Wii.. will be wii..nner! success!

No amount can equal caring words-- unless of course, one wins the powerball or lotto... maybe. Heh. Thank you.

Hiding on empty, captured in full

I some how find myself empathizing with the former Senator Gringo Honasan; the master of disguise, the fugitive soldier who's been hiding for the last nine months was captured by police operatives. Honasan is accused of masterminding the failed overthrow of the Arroyo administration was arrested the other day in the wee hours of the morning in an exclusive subdivision in Quezon City. Read details and report.

If he really wanted to, I guess he wouldn't have been captured. He's been soo good eluding the authorities but reports say he's been in Manila for a month now so I'm leaning towards the theory he's supposed to surrender next month, but yes, maybe the administration double crossed him. Looks like he's interested in running for senator again. Oh boy, he aged! his hair is silver strand of greys and gone is the trademark moustache.I betcha though his charisma is still there. For the benefit of those who don't know Honasan, well.... he was once part of the group that toppled the Marcos regime and he plotted several coup attempts against the Aquino administration.

And the plot comes to an end.. or is it just the beginning of a new chapter?

The decision not to exist

Again.. Empty. Sullen. Void. Gone. I'm always afraid that one day I'd end up in the gutter begging for mercy. I have nothing and no one and it's hard.

I posted this two days ago but deleted it now it's back again....for a good while (thinking of selling the pc but.. I dunno yet *sigh*). Des laddie, sorry didn't see the comment cos I deleted the post w/o looking. Yes no one, just siblings, couple of friends. Yes nothing. I am [feeling] blue.

An a polling situation

Midterm madness indeed. Every politician and their supporters and have their own gimmicks, tactics. Final attacking ads from left wing liberals and right wing conservatives sending voters in frenzied confusion.

The push poll -- designed to disseminate information about the candidates, rather than collect it -- is just one of the last-minute tactics inundating, and in some cases rankling, Maryland voters in the final week of a campaign. (Washington Post)

Yes. From stem cell research to having the phrase "under God" removed n out or have it remain with the pledge of allegiance.

And then the ads... dumping tens of millions of dollars just to convince people to vote for them. According to Evan Tracey of the Campaign Media Analysis Group. "Politics is probably the only business in the world where they spend the most money when they have the least number of available customers to pitch to" (Washington Post)

Man, these politicians and their fund rasing supporters are swimming in bucks. Televisions gonna be inundated with campaign ads. Voters gonna be swimming in television confusion. Shit. I have two ads, the left and the right... whom should I vote, please tell me! Convince me! Oh yeah!I think for some of the people voting, they make up their minds minutes before casting their ballots. And for others, they know already who they want to see lead their state.

We're going to experience similar frenzied motions, and money dumping ads and different gimmiks of running candidates next year for our May elections. Heh. Politics kills me. It's is soo exciting don't you think so? Boringly exciting. Lets see who leads the nation as people exercise their right of suffrage.
