AWEFULL

I just finished watching “Bottom Line” on ABS-CBN and the guest was Governor Ed Panlilio of Pampanga. I must admit, I never liked the person. Probably because I didn’t bother knowing him through readings and the media. And now that I got to hear him speak for a few minutes and answer difficult questions being thrown at him by Boy Abunda, I guess somehow I was able to comprehend a portion of him.

After the show I realized that:

• He always beats around the bush. From what I hear, there were questions that he wasn’t able to answer clearly. One of which is when he was asked if he has a woman and a child. He kept on saying that he had a girlfriend in the past. But when asked about having a child, he just said that “Madami na naglalabasan na ganyan. Sabi ko nga, prove it to me.. blah blah blah” that guests were starting to get impatient in waiting for unambiguous answers.
• He is still HUMAN. He’s not sure whether he has a child or not. By that he implied that he committed premarital sex. Something that the church condemns.
• He is an ambitious person. When he went out of priesthood, he promised to just finish a term of governance and he’ll be back to being a priest. But now, he wants more. He even wants to run for the presidency.
• He has unhealthy relationship with majority of his constituents/Sanggunian. He only has 1 Mayor friend.
• He is still a PRIEST by heart. He admits his mistakes and doesn’t lie. There were questions that might deprave his image but he opted to tell nothing but the truth. Another thing that makes him a priest is his opposition to birth control methods. Something that the Catholic Church has been refusing to accept.
• He is not perfect. Cliche, indeed, but nobody’s perfect, after all.  But some people say, 2.5 years is not enough for Among Ed to establish his worth. Probably, he still needs another chance to prove himself.
• He is really a PRIEST, not a POLITICIAN. Being a politician doesn’t mean you will only use your heart. Knowledge about the law, public administration and governance must also be in attendance.

Among Ed has a lot of strong points and shortcomings as a public servant but I can no longer enumerate them all as my chinky eyes are slowly closing already..

So I’m gonna end this post with my own conclusion.

My bottomline is: The church and the government are two separate institutions, thus, each of them has distinct characteristic, duties and responsibilities that must not be expected of the other.

Since Among Ed already chose to be part of the filthy world of politics, he should not go back to priesthood, even if he’d be permitted by the Archbishop or the Pope.

Just my opinion. Goodnight, people.. errrr.. Good morning.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a PBB Double Up fan. There’s nothing wrong about being a follower, though. It’s just that I usually go home late that I no longer catch it’s primetime edition on TV. Also, I don’t have a favorite in their batch. The last PBB Season that I followed was PBB 2. I know I would sound odd and all, but I love Wendy. Haha! I liked how palaban she was and I believe that she’s the epitome of a nagpapakatotoong Pinoy. She may be bitchy and has no breeding at all, but I guess that’s just how real she is. I never really liked the hindi madapuan ng laway or the “silent water” type (that is usually the more deadly one) probably because I grew up in a non-conformist environment and studied in a university with a large number of radical students.

Anyhoo, going back to PBB Double Up. I watched it a while ago since it’s a weekend and I am just staying at home. I really prefer surfing the net and blog than watching TV, all the more if it’s something like PBB. However, it quite catches my interest everytime I hear people in the office and my friends talk about it. Also, the episode tonight was a debate. It’s an interesting show, actually. But then again, I felt like a complete idiot trying to absorb everything that they said when in fact they were just telling the same stuff as other housemates did, like the “ako ay nagpakatotoo”, “ibinibigay ko po ang best ko”, etc. etc. What’s with the pagpapakatotoo thingie when you don’t actually know what to do with your life. Like Tibo (as stated by Jayson), who always gives advices yet he doesn’t even know how to follow his own advice. Another is the “May kaya po sya.”, “Sya ang mas nakakaangat sa amin lahat.”, “Di na po nya kelangan ng pera.” Crap, you should’ve joined Wowowee instead.

Another thing that annoys me is Melai. Sorry, but I was never a Melason fan. I really don’t think that that kind of “relationship” would work. I mean, they are inside the house. They have no life but with housemates only. Jayson hasn’t seen the “real world”.. he’s a true blue promdi with limited opportunities back in the province.. wait ’til he sees the life outside of PBB. Wait ’til he sees the other women outside. Sorry, I’m just being real. What irritates me about Melai is the way she speaks, I just couldn’t understand every single thing that she utters. Imagine, what would happen to the quality of education in the Philippines if the educator is not well-educated? I remember Korina Sanchez telling Melai, “Di ba English teacher ka sa GenSan? Kaya mo sumagot ng English?”.. Ohhhh crap, she wasn’t able to say a whole sentence in English. Errrr….

Like I said, I am not a fan. The reason why I didn’t have something nice to say.

Ayos, baka awayin ako nito ng mga kaopisina kong fanatics. Nyahahha! Peace!

… (AGAIN ), it will be forever
or I’ll never fall in love (AGAIN ),
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it’s begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun….

……..Ooops! Okay, I’m back to my cheesy self again.

Whenever I see the trailer of The Wedding on ABS-CBN, I couldn’t help it.. I always smile. A few days ago, when I saw it (for the nth time) I even slapped (mild lang naman) my mom’s arm. I’m sooo weird I become violent whenever I get kilig, the reason why nobody in my barkada doesn’t wanna sit beside me whenever we watch romantic comedy flicks.

Believe it or not — I am a fan of Anne Curtis. I know most of you don’t like her and find her really annoying, especially her kaartehan and her high-pitched voice. A lot of people din say she has no talent (I won’t argue anymore, totoo naman yun.. haha!) Wa ako keber, I really like her. Walang basagan ng trip! Haha! When she was in GMA, I didn’t notice her, I was never a viewer of any of her teenybopper shows there. When she transferred to ABS-CBN and landed a good role in Hiram (it was a teleserye starring Kris Aquino & Dina Bonnevie — oh yeah, Kris had a teleserye.. harhar!) I began to like her. There’s something in her that I really admire. Perhaps it’s her transparency that made me adore her. Also, she’s so bubbly and her cheerful disposition is really contagious. She’s so cute when she screams. Hehe.

She may not be the typical icon that people would want to idolize because of her not-so-spotless image in showbusiness (there’s a lot of bad publicity about her — most of which are true), but the fact that she’s not afraid to show the real Anne is one thing that made me look up to her. She cries when she’s hurt, she laughs when she’s happy. She’s just so real.

She is not a “living saint” nor an angel wannabe. She’s sometimes a bad girl, but being bad at times doesn’t mean she’s a bitch for eternity. After all, sabi ko nga.. sino ba sa atin ang malinis? Ako hinde. Hahaha.. jooooke! Basta ayoko ng mga taong mapagmalinis, pero sa likod ng maskara ay nagtatago ang isang impakta… weeeeeeeeee!!! (wala po ako pinapatamaan, pramis )

Another thing that I like about her is her fashion statement. Sana ganun ako kapayat para makapagsuot din ako ng mga ganun.

Anyway, let me get to the main point of this entry..

I am excited to see the series!!! I so so like her leading men — Derek & Zanjoe. Again, kung wala man talent ang dalawang yummyballs na itech, wala ako keber. Basta ang gwapo lang nila. Sorry, hindi kase ako mahilig sa mga boy next door at mga Aga-wannabe. Mas gusto ko yung mga mukang brusko, yung mga lalakeng-lalake ang dating at yung kayang-kaya ka ilaban ng bugbugan pag ikaw ay inaapi. Haha! Gusto ko yung mga mukang basura, pero pag inamoy mo yummy naman pala.. yung mga kayang-kaya ako bugbugin — sa PAGMAMAHAL. Wahahahah!

Sa totoo lang, yung mga lalakeng mukang maton.. kapag sila ay tinamaan ni Kupido, ay nakow… laglag na lahat ng pwede malaglag… ANG SARAP! Ang sarap nila magmahal… Naranasan ko na yan. Ayun, sa awa ng Diyos… hindi na naka-move on si Kuya sa sobrang pagkainlab. Acheche.. sori naman makapal lang talaga fezz ko at nagbuhat na ko ng sariling bangko. Sori naman po. Single lang at walang ibang pwede magbuhat ng aking bangko kundi ako. Haha!

Ang tagal naman kase… inip na ko…

Walang basagan ng trip!!! Hmphmphmp! Hekhek!

Kung ganito nga naman ang mga nag-aagawan sayo, tingnan ko lang kung di ka masiraan ng tuktok! Nyahahaha!

Gusto ko yung titingnan pa lang ako, kumpleto na ang araw ko.. yung ngingitian pa lang ako, kinikilig na ako..

Weeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, luma na to.. pero nakakatawa talaga pramis. Ni-share lang sa kin kanina ng opismate ko. Kaya post ko dito para maaliw din kayo.

Pwede magcall center si Koya!

Kellie, screen mo na para sa APAC!

Teka lang ha, napasulat ako bigla.. pagbigyan nyo na ko at nairita ako bigla..

Taena si Marian Rivera singer na din???

Bwiset narinig ko bigla yung kanta nya at nakita ko sa GMA (nanonood ako ng late night news dahil sa ABS ay si Bespren Games Uplate Live na nakakairita so sa siete muna ako nood balita.. shet haba ng explanation ko, whatever). Ah basta ganun nga narinig ko yung nakakairitang kanta tapos takte nakita ko sa TV si Marian pala kumanta ng talaga namang nakakatindig balahibo at makabagbag tengang kanta na yun?!!

Ay wait.. yun din ba yung kinanta nya sa SOP na may nip-slip sya na moment? Na pinadala mo sa kin ang video, GB! Manyak ka talaga! Wahahahah!

Ah basta.. ayun, share ko lang kase naiirita ako. Pwede pala singer yun??? Shet… next time di na ko magugulat kung pati si Dingdong singer na din. Namaaan kase sa lyrics walang kwenta pucha parang Tagalog version ng “Realize” eh, panay “Sabay sabay tayo” ang narinig ko. At ang melody talaga namang nakakaindak na parang nakakita ka ng Ninja Geese!

Sabagay kaya nga tinawag na novelty eh. Para madali masakyan ng masa. Tsk. Tanga ko talaga.

Haaaaaaaaaayyyyy… ano na nga ba ang depinisyon ngayon ng TALENT? Pabonggahan na lang batalaga ng career? O Pataasan ng ratings ng mga palabas? E pucha wala na ko naintindihan sa mga palabas kundi mga remakes na di naman talaga remake dahil binago na takbo ng istorya mula sa original. Ayan tuloy wala na ginawa si Marian kundi sumayaw ng Marimar, kakaumay maaaaaaaan! Tsaka si Marimar diba sa orig batang dagat? E san ka naman nakakita ng batang dagat na kulay gatas ang kutis? Bwiset.

Obvious ba? FAN ako ni Marian. Bwahahhaha!

Sorry ranting. Natatamad pa ko magsulat ng sensible eh. Hehehe.

Eto ko ngayon at kasalukuyang naglalamay at nanonood ng Probe ni Cheche Lazaro. Naintriga kase ako sa isang topic tungkol sa male breast cancer. May isang ininterview si Cheche na biktima ng breast cancer, si Mang Romy. Si Mang Romy ay isang mahirap lamang na nanggaling sa Samar. Nagdecide sya na manatili na lang sa Maynila para magpagamot. Nakikipagsapalaran sya sa pagpapagamot sa gobyerno dito sa Maynila at tinitiis na hindi makita ang pamilya na nasa Samar dahil sa pag-asang gagaling sya mula sa kanyang sakit.

Nagsimula ang sakit ni Mang Romy sa isang bukol sa kanyang suso. Akala nya nung una ay wala lang. Madalas pa nga daw sya tinutukso nun dahil sa bukol sa kanyang suso. Tapos yun pala malala na sya, cancer na pala. Hanggang sa natuloy nanga sa gamutan.

Anyway, eto ang mga natutunan ko kay Dok kanina:

1. 1 out of 1000 cases ng breast cancer ay matatagpuan sa lalake
2. Halos lahat ng edad ay walang kawala sa breast cancer.. mapa-teenager man o yung mga nasa old age na (60 pataas)
3. Pareho ang sanhi ng pagkakaroon ng breast cancer ng mga babae at ng mga lalake: family history/background, radiation exposure, chemical exposure, high level of estrogen
4. Ang estrogen ay female sex hormones kaya mas madaming kaso ng breast cancer sa mga babae kesa sa mga lalake. Dahil syempre mas mataas ang estrogen level ng babae kesa sa lalake.
5. Kelan tumataas ang estrogen sa mga lalake? Kapag ang itlog ng lalake ay hindi nadedevelop ng normal kung kaya bumababa ang testosterone level at natataasan ng estrogen level.
6. Ang breast cancer ay ma madali kumalat/lumala sa mga lalake kesa sa mga babae dahil ang dibdib ng lalake ay maskulado at walang gaanong tissues na syang nagpapabagal ng pagkalat ng bukol at cancer cells.
7. Kapag ang lalaki ay nadiagnose na may breast cancer, kadalasan ay nasa advanced stage o malala na.
8. Ang mga sintomas ng breast cancer: bukol, hindi pantay na bagsak ng suso, nauukang balat sa dibdib, at marami pang iba.

Madaming-madami pang iba pero hindi ko na naintindihan dahil may ka-chat akong makulit eh. Hahaha!

Kaya lang nakakalungkot. Sabi sa Probe hindi na daw natupad ang pangarap ni Mang Romy na makauwi sa Samar at makasama ang kanyang pamilya dahil siya ay binawian ng buhay noon December 28, 2008… mahigit isang linggo pagkatapos sya makausap ng programa.

Sad.

Since I lessen my gimmicks (used to be almost every night), I am gradually joining the “congregation of teleserye”. I was watching Kahit Isang Saglit a few nights ago while talking to Che via SMS. I guess same things were playing in our minds at that time. It was the first time in months that I had the memory to talk about my past with Che again (because of a scene in the series)

While watching Alona (Cristine Reyes), tears were already trying to make a comeback. Of course, I am not bitter anymore, it’s just that I can see myself in her. It was like “shet, ganun pala ako nun.. mukang tanga lang..” I told Che that I felt like I was watching myself onscreen. Alona was crying coz she felt like Rocky’s about to leave her since he is in Malaysia with Garie (his real love) and the guy just kept on telling her calmly “Kahit anong mangyari hinding-hindi kita iiwan.. babalik ako diyan.. babalikan kita..” I felt the pain once more.

Kung minsan hindi sapat ang mga salita. Kahit alam mong lahat ng bagay sasabihin nila para lang matahimik ka at maramdaman mong hindi ka mag-iisa, na hindi ka iiwan.. alam mong kapos ang lahat.. Lalo na when I saw Jericho’s face on TV when he was telling that to Cristine.. para kong nakita ang someone from the past.. with all those gestures and those facial expressions.. now I know, hindi lahat ng maamong ipinapakita sayo ay dapat mong paniwalaan..

Che: Kahit anong sabihin na di ka iiwan, di ka mapapakali. Kase alam mong something’s goin on na pag nalaman mo masasaktan ka lang, kaya mas pipiliin mong tanggapin kung ano yung nakahain diyan. Kahit di ka naman nakukuntento. Kahit may gusto ka pang marinig. Nag-aassure sya kahit di nya talaga alam ang basis ng assurance na yon.

Sabi din ng nanay ni Alona “Ubusin na ang lahat ng katangahan. Gawin at itodo ang lahat. Kase isang araw gigising ka na lang na tapos na at pagod ka na.”
