Lolong . . . from the land of the greedy!

They said that Lolong was the biggest crocodile in the world and that we are very proud of it, as we are again recognized in the Guinness World Record.

I don't know how to consider these kind of things. . .

When the time comes that a new record for the biggest croc's was overcome by other countries, definitely, Philippines will lost the records.

So I think it's not really that big deal.

We Filipinos cheered every time we set a record or we become renown even from these petty things that happened around us. Maybe that is the reason why we are called as the most happiest people in the world, we always smile, do parties and laugh even on small things. . .

So I think it's not really that big deal.

We Filipino's laugh on small things because we think small. . .
We party too much because we are one day millionaires. . .
We are called the happiest people in the world, because we don't face and solve our problems. . .

So I think it's not really that big deal.

Well, I think we only used this as a defense mechanism, to avoid the pain brought about by worst scenarios and tragedy from our Country. Maybe because of the corrupt and greedy politicians and the disparity of the poor and the rich is getting wider. Philippines are, for decades are always in depression in the economic cycle.

So I think it's not really that big deal - That Lolong was the biggest crocodile in the world, because he was only a product of the worst crocodile in the Philippines - the last administration. A family of crocodiles.

Only in the Philippines that a former President is being convicted by graft and corruption because of Jueteng, and almost again won for presidency.

Here is the best part. . .A former president, being investigated for tons of corruption charges, get sick suddenly, and being allowed to go abroad. . . (& possibly not comeback again and seek political asylum to countries with no extradition law).

So I think it's not really that big deal that we are recognized for having the biggest crocodile, because what the Guinness records can't see are the crocodiles here in the Philippines bigger and more greedy that Lolong.

I already saw other of my fellowmen who are now trying to recoup from our lost. Marami narin ang nagigising, sa mga nangyayari satin, pero matagal din ang panahon na kelangan para magamot ang sugat, matagal, dahil malalim na ang sugat.

This is not actually a political propaganda against GMA. . . ang hirap na kasi magtiwala sa isang tao na marami ng nagawang mali at kasakiman.

I can now clearly remember the story of the boy who cried wolf!

Pacquiao the Filipinos' Dark Knight!

During my college days, my professors in Sociology and in Rizal, described Manny Pacquiao as the common-day hero of the Filipinos, because every time that he fights inside the ring, the Filipino people stops and everybody's eyes are with Pacman! With Zero-crime rate and streets are almost deafening for its peacefulness.

The Pinoy's unites, not because we are totally separated as a country, but for one goal and one heart - to have Pacman win and give glory to our mother nation.

Manny even said: If I have to fight everyday, for the unity of our people as one nation, I will Fight!

But yesterday, November 13, 2011 PH time, the Philippine Nation was divided in their opinion who won match in the third installment of the Pacquiao-Marquez Trilogy.

Most of the analyst told that Marquez won, because he controls the game, he beats Pacquaio; Even various commentators and sports analyst in the US commented on their tweeter accounts that they felt that Pacquiao won. Well, even their main profile pictures are with Manny posing with them.

I don't know, but it's a majority decision by the judges, it could have been more controversial if it were a split decision. The world see's a different side, each one of us is entitled to our own opinion. Well I guess, We Filipino's already saw the greatness of Pacquiao that a win for Manny Pacquaio is having an English knocked-out in the middle of the ring, a Mexican with a blown face, and bloodshot eyes, an American boxer who jogs away from him, or a Malaysian knocked down within minutes, without us even feeling the tense.

Yet, speaking of being unfair and injustice as a line of the box yesterday, I will still stand with Manny, never had I become that well-versed with boxing nor had a chance to study the in's and out's of the sport. I will stand with Manny, because I am still a Filipino, Proud Pinoy ika nga. Let me reiterate to my fellowmen that this is not crab mentality which we Pinoy's are famous for, this more of us being a nation for a warrior who fought for us to keep us united.

What the hell if he didn't box at his best yesterday? What the hell if he doesn't know-out Juan Manuel Marquez yesterday? What the hell IF HE DIDN'T BOX THE WAY YOU WANT HIM TO?

One of my friend even posted on her facebook account before the Manny-Marquez bout: I hope matalo naman si Pacquaio, para malaman natin if he is man enough to accept defeat.

Natawa nalang ako, ang babaw naman nya. Hindi naman to laban ni Pacquiao lang eh, laban natin to bilang isang nation, diba lalo na kapag nanalo siya? e, kapag talo, are we man enough as a nation to accept defeat? laban natin to Pinas!

We don't have to be separated again because of the performance he showed yesterday, let's keep united, protect the dark knight as one nation, the Mexicans will not take refuge for Pacman, nor other nation, only us na pango ang mga ilong at kayumanggi ang kulay. Si Pacman lang ang sumuntok at namaga ang mukha, pero satin parin ang karangalan dahil naukit tayo sa boksing dahil sa kanya ('di lang dahil sa Joe Frazier and Mohammad Ali Fight).

Pacquiao - Marquez 4? Why not. . .walang problema sakin. . .hindi dahil controversial talaga. . .gusto ko lang matahimik ang karamihan sa inyo, mawala ang mga agam-agam niyo sa Pinoy's Champ!

Para sayu ang laban na tu!

Nakakahiya naman para sa isang boksingero na nakipaglaban para sayo, tapos, pagdududhan mo pagkatapos ng laban. Tama naman na hindi maganda ang nilaro ni Pacman. Pero lumabas naman ang resulta, panalo talaga siya. Maybe most of us are perplexed with the outcome, maybe Manny himself too.

"All I know, plainly and straight, Pacquiao won because he showed the heart and performance of a Champion, He remains aggressive when Marquez should be as JMM is the challenger."

The Apple of my Eyes

Its very unusual that looking back when I was in 1st year high school, I was involved in a scandal of cell phone stealing of a classmate of mine. A Nokia 3310 phone which at that time considered as the trend! The Hip! The In! Well it turned out later on that the person who accused me was the one who actually stole the 3310. 10Years later, who would have known it that I will be publishing my blog using a phone? yeah! while lying on the bed. the apol of my eyes! My Samsung s3850. Hope it will be posted, just keep up with it. Who knows that I might be posting my next kwento using this. ang ganda talaga ng Filipina, parang mansanas na nakakatibok ng puso! one. . . two. . . three. . .

Few of the Best Lines

I sit and wait. . .
Does an angel contemplate my fate. . .

(Angels by Robbie Williams)

It changes his singing career from that point, popularity increasing dramatically from being part of the boyband "Take that." Which until now releasing his own albums.

I wanna know
whoever told you I was letting go
the only joy I have ever known
Girl that lyin. . .

(Swear it Again by Westlife)

These boys who started in 1998, conquered the record of being the longest boy band who sang for 14 years before splitting in the year 2012 in the hype of their success.

Got to start your own lines, no one can tell you what will happen next, until you can say to your self. . ."Looking back, I really didn't know where I begin."

Kaibigan O' Ka-i-bigan?

I once had a lunch party in Glorietta 5 with friends and colleagues to celebrate a birthday. We had a lot of fun of course, sharing sumptuous meals and endearing stories to one another.

Well, mostly when it comes to "Kwentuhan" you can almost bet that I am one of the talkative whatever topic it may be, well save for girlie talks, of which I do not really that participative as girls are usually hesitant to converse with the presence of a guy.

Obviously, as man would be on their case, well except those men that really demeans the meaning of self-respect.

Well, for our kwentuhan on this article, I would like to share this topic about self respect boys and girls, which for me seems quite unfair. Really. Two ways that is, the 1st way is like this:

I was talking to a dear friend with her friend beside her (who-is quite a nuisance by her inexplicable actions, which seems unnecessary sometimes, hihihi???). And this friend of mine approached me with the statement: "Ward, sana di ka sweet pagdating sa mga girls, kasi baka ma-misinterpret nila and may chance na ma-fall in-love sila sayo agad, without you knowing it"

...and her friend just agreed on her statement, yeah of course, giggling again...hihihi...

That was a statement that left me blushing, not because of shame or due to shyness, but of course hearing that statement, is totally one-sided, and from a dear friend of mine. It was quite difficult for me accept the fact the it came from her.

Well, if you were on my shoes? what will you answer? seriously?

...and that giggle again...

Practically, when I am approach stupidly, I answer stupidly. But this is something quite cute. So I tell my friend: "I think it's unfair, being committed someone because you thought that he cares and loves you just because he is sweet and extraordinary with the other guys in treating you. You can't just tell yourself that I am in Love with you because of my traits towards women and towards you.

You can't just manufacture a relationship with him just being malambing. You-have-to-wait-for-the-man-to-tell-you-he-loves-you! (Pls pls, never presumed!)

You got to respect him and respect yourself with it, wait for him to propose, and that's the right time you can say to yourself that he is in love with you. Respect him and you will see every men will respect you.

...and that giggle again...(You see, I really like this part! She keeps doing it, I'm dead serious!)

The Luncheon was finished and we are all full, but the topic was not settled, the girls keep pressing that women are really like that, fell in-love with a man so easily without a decent proposal and devastatingly cries when it turns out the other way. (I used "girls" 'coz it is really immature to think that way, even when I used the term "immature", that girl giggles, again!)

Ooops! By the Way, the 2nd way is: It was unfair, as it directly referred to me. Being sweet and malimbang is a unique personality of Ilonggo's (this statement is not to demean others, I appreciate them too). We often joke that, Ilonggo's sweetness remains even if on the verge of threatening someone of death!

Yeah, Patyon! kita diyan eh! (Pataytin kita diyan eh!) well, smiling, soft voice, and holding a knife.

Hihihihi (Darn?!?!?)

Anong Klaseng Magulang Ka?

Mas pinili kong magkwento sa tagalog ngayon dahil sa inis ko!!!

Nang mapanuod ko sa youtube ang video footage ng isang suicide incident sa Pampanga nung Setyembre 20, 2011. Sobra ang inis ko sa mga tao, guwardiya at namamahala ng tanyag na mall na yan.

Bakit kayo nagpalakad lakad at pa-picutre picture lang diyan? mga anak kayo ng nanay at tatay niyo! mga wala kayong &%$(&^&!!!

Gumagalaw pa yung bata, hindi niyo tinakbo sa hospital?

- - -

Tama na yan! marami akong gusto sabihin, pero tama na. Di na mababago ang lahat, sana hindi kayo maging magulang ng mga batang naging "bakla" at magbarilan sa mall, at ang anak mo ay nakahandusay, duguan, at naghihingalo habang tinitigan, pinipicturan ng mga guwardiya at management ng mall!

Ika nga ni Lourd Dey Vera: Kung mas malakas pa ang impluwensiya ng mga pelikula, babasahin at websites sa anak mo, anong klaseng magulang ka?

Tapos!

Dallas Mavericks (Champions!!!)

Congratulations to the Dallas Mavericks for winning their first NBA Championship!

For all the years that I have been their avid fan, I never see them straying away from each other. Every team has the desire to have that Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy, but only Dallas showed us the heart and the teamwork needed to win a Championship.

They all worked for this so hard, they endure all the criticisms, they all take the challenge to lead the team for a Championship, They all stick together and humble themselves, they played as a team and never played just for themselves...They are ALL Champions!

Congratulations to Dallas Mavericks! Congratulations Mavs' Nation.
