Rainy Day Blues Before New Year

It's raining right now and I have headache. Not really doing much just watching some anime show and munching junk food. My tummy hurts.I feel dull, despondent and just damn lazy right now.

Blah..gging my shopping

I went to the mall to look for presents to buy. I wasn't in the mood to fight my way with so many people in Greenhills so I ended up going to Rockwell instead. At least inside Power Plant, I didn't have to jock for position with so many people. I was able to shop for myself. I was frugal for the most part though. Really.

Kinda sleepy now. I'm trying to re code my journal page from CDX cos my xhtml strict 1.0 got messed up. I'm still not done. At least I still have my Word Press. Yay. So I got two online journal and this blog...plus my Twitter. Now you know what I do online. Wait, I have my Flickr too. He he.

The Act of Being a Jounalist

I don't think throwing shoes at the Bush accomplished anything. Well, except for laughter, viral videos, online games, online popularity. So where's the accomplishment in throwing shoes? None.
Sad thing is.. he's a Journalist. Yikes.

If you really wanted to be heard and need to express you outburst against US presence in Iraq, throwing shoes, doesn't really help. Do your job and be nosy and ask hard tough question that would've made the President respond. Instead we're treated to a shoe throwing tantrum. To be a Journalist and do that says a lot about standards of being in the media and how you are as a someone trying to shed light on something or making other see what the real problem is. And isn't it that if you report something you should set a aside feelings because you wouldn't be able to put anything in perspective. Lest you be biased. I'm not sure if I'm right or wrong..but to each his own. I don't think the Journalist should be hailed as a hero. He expressed his feelings, but throwing shoes? In hindsight, sure it's funny, but it's crude to say the least. Missed that target too.

I'm laughing. The whole incident is a laugh trip.

I mean, if the shoes don't' struck, try again. Indeed. Boy, that scene played over and over with the many cable news out there. Blogged about and of course triggering may shoes jokes and what not. Oh yeah, what a day for comedians! Tons of punchlines for them.

No need for Sole...er, soul searching. Freedom is alive! Talk about freedom!

"This is a gift from the Iraqis; this is the farewell kiss, you dog!"

That's whats Iraqi Journalist, Muntazer al-Zaidi said while hurdling the shoes at the President.

When Saddam ruled Iraq nobody could even utter a word, nor write, nor do anything against him ('else they'd be tortured 0r worse.. killed), standing up for their beliefs and what they're fighting for. With the show throwing incident, it's just goes to show how freedom has come a long way. In that sense, the US and Bush can take credit for bringing back that liberty to be able to expressed opinions, albeit by throwing shoes.

Pacman Outwit, Outplayed, Outboxed the Golddenboy

Yes! The whole of the archipelago stood still as our man the 'Pacman' outwit, outplayed and outboxed the rusty old 'Goldenboy.'

Woohooo! Manny Pacquiao beat Oscar De La Hoya! So that's what I did over the weekend. I watched. It was sucky though cos they showed it on a delayed telecast and by the time the the fight was to begin, I already knew the result. But I still watched the whole eight rounds just to see how 'Pacman' finished off his opponent. Hooray to the Pacman.

Eh...ha ha! pa cheeseburger ka naman!
