a fat-ass who constantly struggles to take a breather every now and then. a conventional man of quixotic tastes. a masticated piece of nothingness begging for your last drop of conceit. a procrastinate insisting on raw but substantial work under time constraint. a romantic, and incurable at that.

    Ang isyu? Ninakaw diumano ng GMA ang orihinal na komposisyon na pagmamay-ari ni Gary Granada. Ang tanong, may habol ba si Gary laban sa GMA? Paki-post lamang po ang inyong mga komento.

    Eto’t pakibasa ang original transcript na ginawa ko ayon sa podcast na ginawa ni Gary. Please lang po, bigyan nyo naman ng credit ang munti kong site kung nais ninyong i-commercialized ang transcript na ito. Sige kayo, baka ako naman ang gumawa ng next podcast pag nagreklamo ako. ^_^ (Gary, I support you kaya ko ginawa ito. I hope you like it. ^^)

    You may stream his podcast or by downloading the mp3.

    Magandang araw po, ang pangalan ko po ay Gary Granada. Ako po ay isang song writer o composer at ang hanap-buhay ko ay gumawa ng mga jingles.

    Kung kaya ako ay kinomisyon ng GMA Kapuso Foundation na gumawa ng jingle para sa kampanyang Threepid Handog Edukasyon ng Procter and Gamble. Gaya ng nakasanayan sa advertising industry binigyan nila ako ng lyrics, which I’m supposed to set to music, na dapat ang haba ay sixty seconds. Eto po yung binigay nila:

    Kung may lapis kaya kong isulat ang aking mga pangarap
    Kung may krayola kaya kong iguhit ang aking kinabukasan
    Sa handog edukasyon mga gamit pampaaralan aking makakamtan
    Sa tulong mo edukasyon ko tuloy-tuloy na magagampan
    Ang aking pagpupursigi hindi masasayang dahil nandiyan ka
    katulong ko sa bawat hakbang

    Tapos may voice over, tapos kanta ulit.

    Sa handog edukasyon magandang kinabukasan aking makakamtan.

    Obviously kailangang ayusin o i-edit ito para tumugma duon sa music. Ang proseso ay ganito. Anumang revisions na gawin ko ay dapat may approval ng client. And after several revisions, ito na yung huli kong sinubmit na study.

    Kung may lapis kaya kong isulat ang pangarap
    Kung may krayola kaya kong iguhit ang bukas
    Sa handog edukasyon mga gamit pampaaralan aking makakamtan
    Sa tulong mo pag-aaral ko magagampanan
    Ang pagpupunyagi di masasayang

    Sa Threepid Handog Edukasyon at GMA Kapuso Foundation, kaya mo ring tumulong. Sa bawat threepid na bibilhin mo, makakatulong kang magbigay ng school supplies sa isang bata.

    Sa handog edukasyon magandang kinabukasan
    Aking makakamtan

    Hanapin ang threepid sa mga brands na ito.

    Mangyari ito ay hindi pumasa at pinagawa na lang sa ibang composer. At ito naman yung lumabas na brinoadcast sa GMA network.

    Obviously, ginamit nila yung edited lyrics batay sa pagkasukat ko. Pero hindi lang po yun ang isyu. Bukod sa lyrics, ginamit din nilang tuntungan ang musical structure na ginawa ko. At ipapaliwanag ko sa inyo kung paano.

    Ang musicial composition ay may tatlong basic elements.

    Una, ay yung tono. Halimbawa, sa A-B-C-D-E-F-G, ang tono ay, DO-DO-SOL-SOL-LA-LA-SOL. Ngayon, kung gagawa ka ng kantang, ABCDEFG na ganito, A-B-C-D-E-F-G, o, SO-LA-TI-DO-TI-LA-SOL. Hindi mo ngayon yun completely original na creation dahil sinakyan mo lang ang pinagpaguran ng iba. At nagiging madaling gawin, precisely because, sinukat na yung piyesa nung gumawa nung original.

    Ang ikalawang element ay tinatawag na balor ng mga nota. Halimbawa, ang mga nota ng DO-DO-SOL-SOL-LA-LA-SOL, ay anim na magkasunod na quarter notes at isang half note. Iba po yun kaysa halimbawa apat na magkasunod na eight notes, isang dotted quarter note, isang eight note ulit at isang half note na ganito naman, DO-DO-SOL-SOL-LA-LA-SOL.

    And finally ang ikatlong element ng musical composition ay ang harmonic logic. Sa lay persons term ay yun yun kung saan dumadaan ang chords at kung kailan lumilipat. Halimbawa, ang A-B-C-D-E-F-G, ay C papuntang F tapos balik sa C. Hindi magwo-work yung ilalagay mo yung F sa huli. A-B-C-D-E-F-G. Hindi rin magwowork kung, sa A dumaan papuntang D minor, halimbawa, A-B-D-C-E-F-G, pero pwede yung daanan na yun kung ang kantang yun ay, “He– answers prayers”.

    At para patunayan ko sa inyo na ginawa nilang tuntungan yung aking komposisyon, kakantahin ko yung jingle sa tono na pinagawa nila sa iba, kasabay nung minus one na study na ginawa ko.

    Kung may lapis kaya kong isulat ang pangarap
    Kung may krayola kaya kong iguhit ang bukas
    Sa handog edukasyon mga gamit pampaaralan
    aking makakamtan
    Sa tulong mo pag-aaral ko magagampanan
    Ang pagpupunyagi di masasayang

    Sa Threepid Handog Edukasyon at GMA Kapuso Foundation, kaya mo ring tumulong. Sa bawat threepid na bibilhin mo, makakatulong kang magbigay ng school supplies sa isang bata.

    Sa handog edukasyon
    mga gamit pampaaralan
    aking makakamtan…

    Hanapin ang threepid sa mga brands na ito.

    Think about it, yung mga parteng may kanta ay mga mga kantang twenty eight na bara yun. Yung probability na magkaruon na magkahawig mula umpisa hanggang dulo ay ganito. Sa bawat bara you have theoritically dozens of possible combinations. Sabihin na lang nating dalawang possibilities na lang per bar. That would be two times two times twenty seven times mong i-(http://foobarph.multiply.com)multiply.

    The chances of that coincidence would be one in one hundred thirty four million two hundred seventeen thousand seven hundred twenty eight. At those odds, I think our dog has a better chance of becoming president of god-forsaken country, since they are throwing it to the dogs anyway.

    Nagsumbong ako sa FILSCAP, yun po yung Filipino Society of Composers, Authors(http://rllqph.wordpress.com) and Publishers. Nagpadala ito ng sulat sa GMA, tinanong namin kung bakit di nila ginawa yung friendly reminder namin, na kung ipagawa nila sa iba, ang ibigay nila sa gagawa ay yung original nilang lyrics at h’wag gamitin ang ginawa kong study.

    At kung napansin ninyong hindi gaanong maganda ang quality ng audio nung jingle na brinodcast nila, ay kasi ni record ko lang yun galing sa TV mismo. Paano kasi, mahigit isang buwan na akong nag re request kahit mp3 man lang nun for reference ay di man lang ako binigyan. Nabanggit din yun sa sulat ng FILSCAP, di man lang sinagot. Napaka-arogante.

    Sa halip, ang sagot ng GMA, ay wala akong claim dahil yun daw ginawa ko ay collective effort namin. Siguro parang ganito, halika upo tayo at mag compose tayo collectively. Kung ganun, eh di ibig sabihin pala, kung paano sinukat yung lyrics at music para magkasya sa isang minuto ay collective naming ginawa yun. Yung paano pagtugmahin yung mga letra sa mga nota ay collective naming ginawa yun. Yun kung saan dalhin ang daloy ng harmony ay collective naming ginawa yun. At kung ganun na nga, marami naman palang mga tao sa GMA that can collectively compose. Bakit pa nila ako kinuha? Sa tinagal-tagal ko sa trabahong ito, nuon ko lang maranasan na mag compose collectively.

    Maalala ko yung short meeting namin na yun eh, mahaba kasi yung lyrics kaya kailangan pang paiksiin. Halimbawa yung, aking kinabukasan, sabi ko, ok ba sa inyo kung gawin ko na lang bukas, aking kinabukasan, pito, pitong syllables, bukas, dalawa lang. Tatango-tango naman yung iba. Ganun pala mag compose collectively.

    Ang hindi nila naiintidihan, kaya ko sinuggest yung bukas kasi concious ako na pasok yun duon sa melody na naiisip ko. At kaya nga naging madali na lang gawan ng ibang tono ng iba, kasi finormat ko na yung original lyrics mo, na magiging singable at musical. Hindi na lang yun prose, poetry o freeverse. Ginawa ko nang musical yung metro, bigkas at sukat ng copy mo. Kaya nga ang tawag sa inyo ay copywriter, at ang tawag sa akin ay composer. Kasi, babalen-balentungin mo man yang utak mo ng isang milyung beses, hindi mo ma-compose yung lyrics na yun ng ganun.

    And you have the audacity to tell me that my composition is our collective effort. In fairness to you, you have a very imaginative mind. Baka sabihin ngayon ng mga fans ko, sir, I have a collection of your collective compositions.

    Seriously, yun pong mag compose ng kanta hindi naman siguro yun basta-basta gawin na lang ng kahit sino. Mas lalo na yung mag compose ka ng exactly sixty seconds na kanta. Pero ang natutuhan ko sa loob ng thirty years, minaliit ng GMA network duon din sa sagot na sulat na pirmado ni Atty. Dick Perez na kanilang abugado. Nakalagay po duon.

    These changes we’re not made by Mr. Granada alone. One word from Mr. Granada or even three, assuming without admitting, that all changes were made by Mr. Granada does not make the piece his own.

    Para akong sinabihan na, aangkinin mo ito eh wala ka namang ginawa liban na palitan ang isang salita.

    It did not thirty days to finish that composition. It took me thirty years to hone the skill required to create that composition. Ngayon ipamumukha mo sa akin na ginawa ko lang ay palitan ko ang isang salita. At may nalalaman pa itong mga abugadong ito, na assuming without admitting.

    Unang-una po, liwanagin ko lang. Hinding-hindi ko inaangkin yung nilabas nila sa TV. Frankly, ayoko yung mga tono na ganun. Bakit ko naman aangkinin yun? In fact, dahil ayaw ko yung kinalabasan, naiinis pa lalo tuloy na isiping may kinalaman pala ako duon.

    Ganun pa man, ang sinasabi ko, hindi sila makakagawa nun, kung hindi nila sinamantala ang aking ginawa. Again, ang kini-claim ko, hindi sila makakagawa nun, hindi man ako nagagandahan duon, o gandang-ganda man sila duon. Hindi nila magagawa yun kung hindi nila sinamantala ang study na gawa ko.

    And if we will just let GMA Kapuso Foundation and Procter and Gamble get away with it, that is like applauding their arrogance and condoning stealing. And to think that GMA as publisher, sits in the board of FILSCAP which protects the writes of composers and lyricist. At may mga anti-piracy anti-piracy ka pa minsang kampanyang napapalabas sa GMA.

    Kung hahayaan natin ito, what is now stopping anyone from commissioning artists in general to make studies only to reject them, make easily done modifications out of their hard work and pass them of as entirely new creation all together?

    Ninakawan mo na yung mangagawa sa pinagpaguran niya, dinuro-duro mo pa na wala siyang claim dahil wala naman siyang ginawang significant.

    Ha… *sigh*

    Which makes me wonder? Saan napunta ngayon yung puso sa GMA Kapuso Foundation?

    Kung sa tingin po ninyo ay tama lang na ipaglaban ito, malaking tulong kung makakagawa kayo ng statements of support. Mahalaga rin na makakalap ng mga opinyon ng mga dalubhasa kung kayo ay nasa literature department o creative writing center ng iyong university o college of music, your expert opinion will help a lot.

    Kung kayo ay composer, lyricist, writer o artists in general. Please send us your comments. Kung kayo ay abugado na dalubhasa sa mga ganitong bagay at sa tingin ninyo ay lehitimong grievance ito, please send us your views.

    Paki email lamang po sa garygranada@yahoo.com.Thank you very much for your time.

    "Pangarap Na Bituin also stars top-notch actors namely Arianne Orellosa, Ivan De Lara, Jenny Ravelo and Hershey Homol..."

    ganto yan, i have a friend who told me na pag ginoogle daw ang pangalan ko, may lalabas na entry from alodia haters club.

    Napa-tanga ako kasi nga non ko lang narinig yung alodia haters club, at hindi naman ako member dun.

    Anyhow, nothing much about that alodia entry. Something about Jogalyne, Chiqui, and me lang. You can check out the said thread HERE.

    Shempre, na-curious ako, kaya ginoogle ko din ang name ko. The only other time I searched for my name online was when i was looking for my published works sa Inquirer.

    Among the other entries that came up, na-curious ako dun sa "abs cbn forum" pertaining to moi, as well as other names na part ng college life ko.

    And when i clicked on the cached link...

    "pangarapnabituin_4jrn1
    (6 members, Unmoderated)
    Pangarap Na Bituin is the latest teleserye that will mirror the reality behind the glitz and glamor of the showbiz world. Jamaica Pascual, Dale De Vera, and Joyce Segui play the Jewel Sisters, a singing pop trio who will walk the royal yet sometimes rocky road to fame. After the tragedy that left their parents dead, Sapphire (Jamaica), Emerald (Dale), and Ruby (Joyce) are accidentally separated from one another. But one dream will make their paths cross, and together, they will make music that fans all over the country will deeply adore. At first, they will all think that their love for one another as sisters will see them through the challenging life as celebrities. But little did they know that there is more to dream than the wealth and glory. Sapphire is willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead. Emerald wants to be with Terrence (Kevin Jimeno), but the manipulative manager Alberta (Evangeline Evangelista) will stand against their love. Ruby will battle with her own insecurities to gain the self-esteem she needs. Pangarap Na Bituin also stars top-notch actors namely Arianne Orellosa, Ivan De Lara, Jenny Ravelo and Hershey Homol. Directed by Trina Dayrit and Eric Salud, this new teleserye will feature the best of drama and music. Be sure to catch Pangarap Na Bituin beginning September 3rd on ABS-CBN Primetime Bida." (Check out actual link HERE).

    I SWEAR!! For a good five to ten minutes ata, e tawa lang ako ng tawa. saka ko lang naalala na antagal nga palang running joke samin before 'tong "Pangarap Na Bituin" Dreamcast.

    Wala lang, it just made my night. hahahahaha ( :

    ------

    And you know what "un-made" my night??

    this expose show in a local channel. Although it wasn't a first for an expose show to dedicate an entire episode to these--domestic squabbles, FOR ME, are best left out of the public's tv sets. Especially when that particular squabble only concerns adultery/concubinage of sorts.

    Hindi sa minamaliit ko yung issue ng adultery, pero naman, andami-dami namang pwedeng ibang gawan ng expose. at kung adultery na rin lang naman, sana man lang naghanap sila ng tipong malalaking tao, yung tipong ikakagulantang ng marami dahil public figure yung involved. Yung may anggulo man lang sana ng "betrayal of public trust". Like, kung nakapag-investigate man lang sana sila ng pulitiko na guma-ganon. but on second thought, wag na pala, ayoko palang ma-tv. hahaha joke

    E, kamusta naman yung in-expose nila kanina, parang gusto kong tampal-tampalin yung segment producers kasi, hello, sa tingin nyo ba naiintindihan ng mga yan ang word na "concubinage". mas problema kaya nila kung pano sila susunod na kakain!! (hindi ako nagmama-sama). Para kasing sinastify lang ng mga producers ang need nung neighborhood for chismis sa mga nailantad nila.

    Im not saying that these people's collective ignorance of the law should excuse them from its binding power. Nor am i condoning their illegal acts. I just hate it when local channels waste precious airtime. Airtime which could have been properly utilized to address other more pressing social concerns. and to borrow some words from our "thesis album",

    TANGNA, ANDAMING NAGUGUTOM SA MUNDO, PAMBABABAE PA RIN PINOPROBLEMA NYO?!"

    Ayun wala lang. Na-share ko lang.

    ------

    hay, sobrang na-miss ko sila: Jacky Lynne Oiga, Angela Lourdes Rebueno, at Ralph Gregor Francisco.

    Kaya ayan, instead na manood ng MMFF flick (Baler!! Anne!!), at dahil fully-booked ang Redbox Trinoma, napadpad kaming Centerstage Morato.

    Late as usual si bhabesz. pero, keri na rin, dahil ibe-burn nya ko ng dvd, diba bhabesz, di ba?? *happyface*

    i heart them so much!! at shempre, phonecam lang lahat ng shots jan, sabi na nga kasing manonood lang dapat ng Baler e

    I guess I'll always be alone.. hahaha (reposted from Mareng Raye's) :p |

     


    SINGAPORE (Reuters Life!) – It really does pay to be a doctor, with an international survey showing the medical profession is the most trusted, among the most admired and includes the most eligible marriage partners.

    By contrast, actors and musicians, along with journalists and advertisers, were among professionals that people trusted the least, and were also least likely to choose a partner from, according to a survey by Synovate, the market research arm of Aegis Group plc.

    "Much of who we are is tied up in what we do in the hours from nine to five, and often way beyond," a Synovate statement said.

    "Asking someone what they do for a living is often the first question you ask them; right after 'what's your name?'."

    The survey polled about 5,500 respondents in Brazil, Canada, China, France, Malaysia, South Africa and the United States.

    It asked people what makes for an admirable job, which professions they trust or do not, who is overpaid, and which profession they would prefer to marry.

    Sixteen percent nominated doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals as their preferred marriage partners, higher than any other profession.

    Other eligible -- and admired -- professions were education, at 14 percent, and science and technology, at 10 percent.

    Educators and doctors were also voted the most trusted by an overwhelming 86 and 87 percent, followed by homemakers and those in science and technology.

    Only one percent picked retail professionals as partner-material, and those in media and marketing, as well as entertainers, did little better at two and three percent.

    These professions were also among the least trusted by respondents, who, across the seven markets, picked the media as the single least trusted group.

    Entertainers, along with corporate executives and lawyers, were voted as being the most overpaid, while homemakers and educators were among those seen as being underpaid.

    Takoyaki and Literotika for the Annoyed |

     

    Before i headed to Kozui, morato earlier this evening, i managed to still get myself irritated over this incident. i was THAT annoyed i dint realize i was walking very briskly toward the traffic gridlock of San Mig Av, until motorists simultaneously buzzed me back into logical thoughts again.

    I was really only able to calm down when i thought of the takoyaki i was surely having for dinner. i have been craving for the really good takoyaki (not those which are sold in food court stalls, ulk) which i haven't eaten for quite some time.

    over our servings of takoyaki, my friend and i got to conversing about a subject, a literary genre that i have only heard of then. LITEROTIKA. and yes, your guess is as good as mine. it's erotic literature.

    she told me that a couple of people are considering the Literotika novel "One Night Stand" as an indicator of feminine liberalism. The short of the said novel--the heroine "f*cks around", as my friend put it. (or you could also refer to a panitikan.com.ph news archive excerpt below)

    he said that a heroine who f*cks around does not indicate feminine liberalism.

    i have certainly not read the book. yet. (and now that it has intrigued i might just go and buy myself a copy). so i told J that if the only premise those people have for the indication of feminine liberalism in a heroine is her liberality in performing with ease the most consummating human act, then definitely, that is not enough. Because if she is merely f*cking around, where's the greatness in that?? it's plainly whoring, nothing uncommon about it. if you throw in a wad of cash, then it becomes the cut-and-dried story of prositution. (And as jogalynne aguilar would have it: "SO YESTERDAY" dah-ling).

    But, if you would put in another premise to the whole f*cking drama--say, for instance, this is a heroine who sleeps around because she simply could and because she doesn't believe in the politics of it all; or because this heroine could go down on the first night because she's audacious enough to go against the social norms depicting loose women; or because this heroine is smart enough to be just as savvy and tricky as her gender counterparts, then hell yeah, that'd be a good springboard for feminine liberalism.

    because if you really wanna liberate the feminine, then you should be able to provide postulates which would remove the woman from the usual social constructs. Start with the age-old depiction of women who melodramatically sulk behind in tears when their men left them after mind-blowing sessions of groping-in-the-dark sex. Change that nauseating portrayal. Show that women, are not unlike the traditional depiction of men anymore. Women can, and will if necessary, make love out of nothing at all (lalalalalala), not for the cash or the pleasure of it, but to get even, for once. Because women could exhibit the manly after-lovemaking characteristics of complacency, disregard, and indifference too.

    Because a woman, could be that self-absorbed too, that her ego wouldn't be bruised by something so mundane as a man who wouldn't bother following up on her after a hysterical night of exultations. Because if feminine liberalism were to be contextualized in the sexual aspect, women should never suffer the double standards that conservatism has confined them with.

    Don't I just adore takoyaki??

    ------

    Not a few people have told me I think differently from others. Maybe I do. Granted I do, I surely didn't intend to just deviate. How i think, how i act, how i conclude from point A to point B and hereforward, are all results of what "ought" stands for me.

    So please don't use what i am against me. Just don't. If you're damn too reserved for me, then don't take notice of me, ignore me, because i honestly couldn't care less. when people prove too out of sync for me, i don't bother with them. So please, please, afford me the common courtesy of not minding me, lest i trample upon your highly morals and inhibitions.

    Babae, lalaki, third sex, bata o matanda ay may kanya-kanyang eksena na tumatakbo sa isip na parang isang pelikula. Pantasya ng nagbibinatang estudyante ang private lesson kasama ang masungit pero seksing si Ma'am na madalas umaangat ang maiksing skirt habang nagsusulat sa pisara. Habang to sir with love naman ang drama ng kolehiyala na in lab sa kanyang guwapong propesor. Sa pagpasok sa klasrum ay suot ng dalaga ang maiksing skirt na lumilislis sa tuwing nagkukuyakoy ng legs habang nakaupo sa front row, dahilan kung bakit madalas pagpawisan ng malagkit ang nagle-lecture na si Sir. Mapaglaro ang imahinasyon ni Mister dahil sa kanyang pagnanasa sa biyuda pero seksing kapitbahay. Madalas niya itong inaabangan sa umaga na magwalis sa harap ng bakuran dahil ang suot lang nito ay braless na sando at maiksing kuyukot shorts. `Di rin mapigilan ng pasyente ang paninilip sa cleavage ng konserbatibong nurse habang ito ay nakayuko sa kanyang harapan para kuhanan siya ng blood pressure. Mataas ang libido ng isang middle-age na dalaga dahil sa kakaibang pakiramdam ng nakakukuryenteng paghawak ng kanyang yoga instructor sa kanyang balakang habang tinuturuan siya ng tamang posisyon sa pag-meditate, makapag-concentrate kaya siya? `Di na rin iba ang isang gabi ng pag- oovertime kasama ang isang wild na officemate kung saan `di lang brainstorming ang nangyayari sa conference table.Pero hindi dito nagtatapos ang lahat. Dahil sa kabila ng bawat kuwentong libog ay may istoryang may saysay ang bawat tauhan.

    Ang kolehiyalang si Grace ang bida sa "One Night Stand", ang isa sa dalawang pinakaunang handog ng Literotika sa mambabasang Pilipino. Iba-ibang lalaki na may iba-ibang personalidad, iba-ibang iskor at iba-iba ring laki ng ari ang kanyang naging pakikipagsapalaran. Lungkot, libog at pagod at kung ano-ano pang emosyon ang kanyang naging laban sa paghahanap ng tamang lalaki para sa tamang pag-ibig. Makabagong bayani ang tawag kay Scott dahil sa kanyang pagsabak bilang isang OFW sa Korea na dahilan kung bakit iniwan niya ang kanyang asawa na si Gelli, isang pre-school teacher at ang kanilang anak sa Pilipinas. E-mail ang naging kasagutan ng nobelang "Mingaw" para sa mag-asawa upang mapunan ang kanilang pangungulila sa isa't isa. Tinahak ng kuwento ang naging kasagutan ng mag-asawa sa kanilang pangangailangang pinansyal ngunit paano naman ang pangangailangan ng katawan?

    Sa Literotika, malayang inilalarawan sa wikang Filipino ang kulturang Pilipino, seks at lipunan. Matapang at lantarang hinuhubad para sa mambabasa ang iba't ibang istorya ng bawat kasarian nang walang kimi at hiya para maipahayag ang tunay na pagnanasa ng ating katawan at isipan sa pamamagitan ng panitikan.

    Ang edisyong Literotika ay mabibili sa lahat ng National Bookstore outlets. Para sa karagdagang impormasyon, mga interesadong distributor at/o manunulat, tumawag sa 856-0347 o mag-email sa market2@philsprint.ph

    To Do Something Spontaneous, You'll Need... |

     

    ..A Motorbike. Check.

    ..A Newfound BFF. Check.

    ..A Really Really Nice, Cold, Breezy Evening. Check.

    ..Ow, a full moon too. Check.

    ..Plus a lot of gall to go to Antipolo, from Morato, at almost 2 in the morning!! Mm-mm.

    it's eight in the morning and i still haven't slept since i got up at 11 am yesterday. almost twenty-four hours, man!!

    This is probably the caffeine-and-antipolo-induced adrenaline rush. I'm really on a high. And what bliss. I haven't felt this way in such a long time. Really, you've just gotta do something you've never done before in your life and voila, an instant spirit uplift!!

    I was having a pretty slow Friday night, (something I have never really grown accustomed to especially when i used to always hang out with this someone..). I was already seeing myself going home (from Morato) at 1am. Bummers.

    This is where my newfound bff comes in. He's so newfound that i actually met him just hours ago. It was his idea that we motorbike to Antipolo. Of course, I don't own a motorbike so i had to scoot off with him. And i've never actually been anywhere on a big bike (i just do the scooter and that's like a plaything) so i was really just game for the ride.

    Imagine, we were in Antipolo like in less than TWENTY f*cking minutes. Seriously!! Talk about the need for speed, dah-ling!!

    And i was just enthralled by the "going there" that the city lights as seen from antipolo's peak just paled in comparison to what i felt. the rush. of my blood as we sped along the highways. and the rush of the cool evening air against my face (never mind the pollution that is the air we breathe in in the metro).

    Now i know why alicia silverstone was all that in Aerosmith's Cryin' vid. haha

    next stop: tagaytay. hell yeah!!

    Policemen. They do Serve. They do Protect. |

     

    read the title?? good, then you must know what sardonic means.

    im sure by now you've already gone beyond your initial shock on the outcome of the pacquiao-de la hoya "dreammatch" (nay, fixed match) and that you've at least somehow managed to get wind of the other local news.

    if not, click on this article.

    I was watching the evening news when something really really dumbass stupid got hold of my temper and infuriated me like hell.

    One police director/officer, let's call him the "Incredibly Stupid Mr. B", said he will be asking his men to review the pnp's sacred book on the rules of engagement. In fact, Incredibly Stupid Mr. B will even be asking directors to carry the handbook with them whenever they have some really fancy operations like say, the takedown of really really skilled robbers, so they would be guided in their tactics.

    And all the time he was saying this, Incredbly Stupid Mr. B put on a face which he might have thought of as the "puppy-eyed" look, but which just screamed "hey, we shouldn't be made responsible for collateral damage!!"

    F*ck. Do doctors carry with them their 'basic anatomy' during surgeries?! Do lawyers, when representing their clients, bring with them their constitution books just so they would be reminded of the basic laws of the land?! They don't!! You know why, because they know their craft by heart, as if knowing it comes as easy to them as breathing. And more so because they are (and ought to be) prepared in advance. Would you want a surgeon (hot as he would be) operating on you as he follows a step-by-step procedure from a surgery book?! Or a lawyer defending you in the highest court and he keeps on asking you what you're being charged with?! hell no!!

    And no, being a policeman is not any different!! it's a profession which requires mastery of skills as well. it asks for precision especially when you're chasing down perps and civilians are in your line of fire. you don't just empty your ammo everywhere you believe the targets are. because you SHOULDN'T even be talking to bereaved families afterwards, explaining to them that their departed beloveds were merely in the crossfire. Get some dignity as*holes, maybe then you'd understand shame.

    You idiots have killed, among others, a father/husband and his daughter. You don't get to wipe your guns clean of reponsibility by telling the surviving wife/mother that her family got caught in the crossfire. You imbeciles don't get to tell that woman that while she was waiting to be picked-up by her "mag-ama", her mag-ama is getting gunned-down in their car. That woman still clutches her daughter's pillows at the wake. Her husband is a migrant worker who was just in town for their daughter's seventh birthday. SEVENTH. And you know what this woman said on national tv?! "Bakit natira pa 'ko?" ("Why did I not perish too?")

    No. you idiotic policemen should never be absolved of the carnage you've brought about by your incompetence.

    And in true Queen-Marie-Antoinette-of-France fashion,

    To the guillotine --

    Bastards.
