Stand Off sa Manila Pen

Isang stand off ang naganap sa may manila pen simula kaninang umaga. Nagsimula ang martsa ng mga magdalo soldiers ksma sina Sen. Trillanes at dating VP Guingona sa Makati Trial Court patungong manila peninsula. Halong tuwa at lungkot ang naramdaman ko habang pinanuod ang pangyayari sa telebisyon. Nakaka tuwa dahil lahat ng tao ay nakatutok sa kaganapan, parang lahat ng tao nagkaroon ng pakialam sa bayan, lahat sila may opinion, lahat may hinaing at saloobin sa pangyayare. Pero nakakalungkot dahil tulad ng inaasahan, matatag at mahigpit parin ang kapit ng nakaupo.. Di na talaga kayang puksain ng kahit anung antiBIOTICS ang taong immune na dito.. May nabuo na ngang eksena sa aking isipan habang nanunuod kanina..(Yung tipong, darating si binay ksama si erap na magpapamud mod ng mga pulang arm band sa mga SAF, AFP, PNP, at SWAT na nakapaligid sa Manila pen at sabay sabay sisigaw ng pagbabago) Pero syempre sa pelikula lang pwede mangyari ang mga ganung bagay... Pero malaking bagay pa rin ang ginawa nilang stand off, madaming kababayan ang muling namulat at nagising na ang totoong buhay ay wala sa bahay ni kuya at sa kusina ni ysabella, wala sa isla ni marimar at kalawakan ni ZAIDO... Madaming tao ang nakapanuod kung anung klaseng gobyerno meron tayo...


Following is the transcript of Lim's statement which he read during the conference:

"Today, we address all decent Filipinos to announce that now is the time to end the sufferings and miseries inflicted upon us by the illegitimate Gloria Macapagal Arroyo government and start a new life, a new Philippines. The die is cast pursuant to our constitutional mandate as protector of the people and state.

And by these acts the officers and men of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police supported by the masses of our people and the various political forces give substance to the constitutional provisions which says the Philippines is a democratic and republican state.

Sovereign peace resides in the people and all government authority emanate from them. That we take the faithful steps of removing Mrs Arroyo from the presidency and undertake the formation of a new government.

Mrs Arroyo had occupied the presidency under a questionable mandate publicly disputed by a vast majority of Filipinos. She stole the presidency from President Estrada through unconstitutional and deceitful means and later manipulated the results of the 2004 elections to perpetuate herself in power.

We have individually and collectively tried all means to resolve this legitimacy issue through the normal electoral, juidicial, and congressional processes but Mrs Arroyo used naked power through the issuance of Executive Order 464 and other executive proclamations and the sheer weight of numbers to paralyze the impeachment process procured at the people's great expense to fustrate us at every turn.

After all these have failed our people tried to air their grievances in peaceful street assemblies. They thought they were exercising a combination of constitutional right which no official or agency of government may legally abridge but they were stopped and dispersed violently with cannons from firemen and truncheons from the police.

The abuses of our government continue the deliberate the deliberate refusal or failure of the dubious leaders to castigate and prosecute the people responsible for the scandalous Hello, Garci electoral cheating, the Joc-joc Bolante multi million peso fertilizer scam, Impsa bribery, the Jose Pidal and Jueteng scandals involving billions of public funds, the North Rail Project, scandal, the Venable contract scandal, the NBN scandal, the wholesale bribery of congressmen in Malacañang as well as the unabated and unresolved extrajudicial killings of citizens particularly journalists and members of the judiciary and the use of military and police officers for some unlawful mission.

Among others, these are clear proof of her failure for good and decent governance. There are numerous illegal and immoral activities and transactions conducted by these government with impunity that betray the citizens and the state of their pristine right to exist as a people with decency, dignity and integrity.

With all the avenues closed by the use of naked force, no other means remain but for the officers and men of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police to exercise their constitutional mandate and to take the side of the sovereign people against this illegitimate and unjust president.

We take due indulgence and apologize for any untoward disruptions attendant to fighting this righteous cause.

We are confident that the will of the sovereign people will prevail. The end of the corrupt and vicious government and its bogus leaders is long overdue.

We support the political and economic reforms that will be initiated by the new government regardless of the personal cause it may impose on each one of us.

We therefore call on our people and all the government around the world to give the constitutional rescue initiated by our patriotic brothers in the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police a chance to work.

To the task of organizing a new government and pursuing a program of total and no nonsense reform, we commit our full support.

We shall do whatever we can too to prevent any backsliding to the corruption and abuse of power of the immediate past and advance the cause of truth, freedom and justice, peace and progress for all Filipinos. God bless the Filipino people. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas."

MCS '97 reunion

Ano ba talaga ang Pinoy???

Ano ba talaga ang Pinoy??? Kung iisipin mong mabuti ay.. ang Pinoy ay isang halo-halo na tao. May kaunting Aeta, kaunting Intsik, kaunting Kastila, etc. etc.
Ang problema sa Pinoy ay mayroong tinatawag na "Class RACISM". Hinihiwalay ang tao sa A, B, C, o D. Bato bato sa langit, tamaan huwag magalit.
Ang A ay yung mga lumang yaman. Mga apilido nila ay Ayala, Lopez, Soriano. Nakapasok rin dito ang mga bagong yamang Intsik tulad nina Concepcion, Tan, Gokongwei, Cojuangco. Hindi yan nagkokotse (natatakot na makidnap). Naka-helicopter yan papunta sa opisina. Kung nakakotse (Range Rover o S class na Chedeng o 7 series na BMW) sigurado ay may bodyguard na kasama. Ang mga damit niyan ay mamahalin pero walang tatak na kilala ng karaniwang Tao dahil sa Europa lang nabibili. Hindi na nila kailangang magyabang ng damit dahil alam na ng tao na mayaman sila. Ang mga anak nila ay nagaaral sa mamahaling eskwelahan (Ivy league ikanga) sa Tate o UK.Ang problema lang sa mga ito ay kahit tinatawag nila ang sarili na Pinoy, ang mga TAI PAN ay hindi pumapayag na mag-aasawa ang mga anak nila sa mga hindi Intsik. Maraming mga T.H. na gustong sumama dito, karaniwan ay mga pulitiko, crony, artista, ibang at burgis. Mga class B lang ang mga yan kahit na may pera.Mahilig ang Class B sa mga damit na mamahalin at may pangalan na nakatatak sa malalaking letra tulad ng POLO o di kaya ay DKNY o yung maliit na buhaya sa dibdib. Ang gusto nila sa sapatos ay yung may pangalan din tulad ng GUCCI o FERRAGAMO o COLE-HAAN. Mahilig silang maglakad na may nakakabit na telepono sa sinturon para masabing importante daw sila o may kaya sila.Mahilig gumimick ang mga class B dahil hindi sila natatakot lumabas at makidnap. Makikita ang mga yan sa d FORT o di kaya sa Makati Ave sa mga magara nilang sasakyan na galing sa Hapon o Alemanya. Mahilig sila sa Kape na napakamahal. Hindi uubra diyan ang Great Taste o Nescafe.
Karaniwan ay ang mga anak nila ay nasa tinatawag na "exclusive schools", kung bakit ganyan ang tawag ay hindi ko alam. Exclusive kanino? Sa may pera siyempre. TAG Heuer ang relos na pinipili nito, Kung mas may kaya ay Rolex o Cartier. Mahilig ang mga yan na magsalita ng Ingles, kahit kausap nila ang tindera sa Shoemart (kung magpapakita sila na pumupunta sila sa loob ng tindahan na ito na para sa Class C). Ang Class C ay ang mga karaniwang tao, hindi naman squatter pero hindi kayang magaksaya ng pera sa mga katarantaduhan tulad ng cerveza na imported,telepono na nadadala (cell phone ika nga), damit na may tatak.
Maswerte na ang C kung may kotse sila, minsan nakakabili ng gamit na gawang Hapon o kung may tulong galing sa isang kamaganak sa tate ay bagong gawang hapon na kotse.Hindi kaya ng C ang kotseng galing Europa o yung mga tinatawag na SUV. Ang mga damit namang may pangalan ay galing sa Divisoria (ie:PEKE) at Tiangge ng Greenhills at hindi sa Makati o Hong Kong.
Mahilig rin gumimick ang mga taga C, pa sine sine, manood ng concert, kumain sa Jolibee, pumunta sa beerhouse. Masyadong mahal yung mga d FORT para sa kanya. Timex/ Casio/ Seiko ang kayang bilhin na relos.
Maraming C gustong maging B. Hindi na nila inaasam na maging A dahil alam nilang imposible ito (kahit manalo sa lotto).
Ang pinakamalaki ay ang Class D. Dito nangampanya si ERAP nung eleksyon kaya nanalo. Yan ay si Juan dela Cruz sa kalye na isang kahig isang tuka. Sila ang naaapi, at mas lalong nahihirap dahil sa sistema ng gobyerno natin na "patronage system" Kahit sumigaw tayo hanggang mapaos ay walang mangyayari sa gobyerno natin. Masyadong nasisilaw sa pera ang tao, kahit maganda ang intensyon niya sa pagpasok sa Gobyerno. Hindi ko masasabi na hindi rin ako magbabago kung naging senador o congressman ako (panaginip).Ano ang solusyon???--- Hindi ko alam. Ang magagawa ko lang ay ang pagrespeto sa lahat ng tao kesa ABC o D ka. Wala akong pakialam kung anak ka ng senador na nagaaral sa La Salle o batang kalye.Respeto lang sa isa't isa kababayan. Wala nang patawag tawag na "baduy" ang isang tao o "walang class".
Pare-pareho tayong mga PINOY.

Batasan Bombing

Isa nanamang pangyayari ang gumulat sa ating lahat, madaming agam agam ang kumalat.. madaming spekulasyon mula sa mga indibidwal.. Mahirap magbigay ng conclusion sa mga pangyayaring ito dahil may mga inosenteng nasugatan at namatay...
Mabilis na nakapag bigay ng lead ang PNP, si Cong Akbar daw ang target ng bomba at ang may sala ang Abu Sayaff agad daw na nabigyan ng lead ang PNP dahil sa tipster na nagsabi kapalit ang 5M na pabuya..
Pero madaming katanungan sa aking isipan...
1. Kung si Cong. Akbar ang target ng pambobomba, bakit sa batasan pa at hindi nalang sa lugar kung saan sya lang ang tao, yung tipong wala ng madadamay pang iba..
2. Ang pagsabog sa Glorietta 2 ay nangyare nung na exposed ang bribery case ng Malacañang. Ang Batasan bombing naman ay naganap isang araw bago humarap si Pampanga Governor Panlilio to testify on the bribery in the Senate and the day before the House Justice Committee Hearing on the impeachment case.. (nagkataon lang siguro?)
3. Talaga bang kailangan pa ng 5M na pabuya para mapabilis ang kaso?

Sa pagbabasa ng article tungkol sa Pagbomba sa malakanyang ay nabasa ko ang isinulat ni Mr. Mon Tulfo at ito ang nilalaman:

Batasan bombing: Who did it?
By Ramon TulfoInquirer
Last updated 01:23am (Mla time) 11/15/2007
MANILA, Philippines--As an institution, the Philippine Marine Corps couldn’t have been behind the death of Basilan Rep. Wahab Akbar.
But here’s my educated guess: It was done by individual members to avenge the death of 10 comrades after an ambush in Basilan in July.
The Marines suspected it was Akbar’s men who beheaded and mutilated their dead after they strayed into the territory of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in search of a kidnapped Italian priest.
The ambush was allegedly staged by both the MILF and Akbar’s men.But the mutilation of the dead soldiers was reportedly the work of the late congressman’s goons.
I talked with some Marines who expressed bitterness over what they considered to be the government’s apathy towards the death of their comrades in Basilan.
“Di namin palalampasin ang ginawa nila, Sir (They won’t get away with it),” a Marine enlisted man told me several days after the ambush.
The Marine Corps, like its counterparts in other countries, is a fraternity.You oppress one member, the entire group goes after you.
The victims of the Basilan ambush in July were members of the Recon Battalion, the Corps’ commando unit. The crème de la crème.
Recon members are experts in surveillance and demolition operations.
The Marines used to guard the Batasan complex, so they had the run of the place.
They have since been replaced by the Special Action Force of the Philippine National Police.
“Mon, it’s a pity that innocent people were killed or wounded in the bombing,” said a Marine officer, commenting on the death of Akbar.
But it’s a reality in war that civilians get killed, the officer added.
If I may venture another guess, the bombing was done inside the Batasan complex probably to send a message.Most congressmen get Marines as their bodyguards, but they don’t defend the Corps when it is in trouble.
After the humiliating debacle in Basilan last July, Congressman Akbar added salt to the wound by criticizing the Corps in a privilege speech.
Only one congressman defended the Marine Corps from Akbar’s attack: Teodoro “Teddyboy” Locsin of Makati City.

Computer Vision Syndrome

Computer Vision Syndrome and Computer Glasses by Wendy Strouse Watt, O.D.
People who spend more than two hours on a computer each day will experience symptoms of CVS or Computer Vision Syndrome. The most common symptoms include headaches, focusing difficulties, burning eyes, tired eyes, general eyestrain, aching eyes, dry eyes, double vision, blurred vision, light sensitivity, and neck and shoulder pain.
The human focusing system responds very well to images that have well-defined edges with good contrast between the background and any letters and symbols. The eyes react very well to most printed material that consists of solid black letters on a white background. The eyes react very differently to electronically generated characters than to printed characters on a page. Characters displayed on a computer screen or video display terminal (VDT) are made up of many, many small dots or pixels. Pixels are the result of an electron beam striking the phospor-coated rear surface of the screen. Each pixel is brightest in the center, with the brightness decreasing toward the outer edges. When a light meter with a very small aperture is passed across a pixel, with the light amplitude being charted against the horizontal location, the pixel shows a bell-shaped curve (Gaussian), while the same light amplitude graph of a printed character forms an almost perfect square wave.



The eyes have a very hard time focusing on the pixel characters. They focus on the plane of the computer screen, but cannot sustain that focus. They focus on the screen and relax to a point behind the screen, called the Resting Point of Accommodation (RPA) or dark focus. The RPA is different for every individual, but for almost everyone, it is further away than the working distance to the computer. The working distance is the distance from the computer user's eyes to the front of the screen. So, the eyes are constantly relaxing to the RPA, and then straining to refocus on the screen. It is similar to raising the arm in a position like when volunteering for something or voting by hand and pumping the fist open and closed 40,000 times. The raised arm would get tired, let alone the hand, which symbolizes the focusing that the eyes must do in an 8 hour day. The following diagram illustrates this:





This constant flexing of the focusing (ciliary body) muscles is what creates fatigue, and generates burning and tired eyes. In clinical studies, it has been found that there is a significant difference in the glasses prescription required for focusing on a standard printed near card (called a Snellen card) and focusing on the image of a typical computer screen, both at a viewing distance of 20 inches. Many patients also need a different correction in each eye. In the past, traditional eye exams for near vision have resulted in glasses suited only for reading printed material, not for viewing computer screens. Once an eye doctor accurately diagnoses your computer vision problems, the next step is to produce computer eyeglasses that will allow the person to work comfortably and productively at a computer. One way to accurately diagnose and identify computer vision problems is by using the PRIO diagnostic instrument that simulates a computer screen. The PRIO tester is set at the distance that the patient works on their computer and the prescription is measured at that distance. Standard reading glasses in most cases are not enough. Because your eyes react differently to the stimulus of a computer, 70-75% of the computer users need computer eyeglasses. Even contact lens wearer sometimes will need computer glasses over their contacts.
Only when they eyes can clearly focus at the plane of the computer screen can the patient experience relief from the fatiguing effects of Computer Vision Syndrome.
Suggestions That Can Help Reduce Some of the Effects of CVSS
Glare screen filters may be helpful for some people, but they will not solve your computer vision problems because they only affect glare from the computer screen, not the problems caused by the constant refocusing the eyes must do when working on a computer. An anti-reflective coating (AR Coat) on the lenses of glasses will reduce the glare coming at you and from behind you that causes eyestrain.
Proper lighting can reduce eyestrain and glare. Glare is created by glare on walls and other surfaces, reflections from the computer screen, bright light coming in from outside, and bright light inside. To decrease light and reflections from external light, close drapes or blinds. When using computers, lighting should be about half of that used in most offices. Using fewer light bulbs or florescent bulbs or use lower intensity bulbs can reduce glare caused by overhead lighting.
Take a 10-15 minute break every hour to reduce eyestrain. Look away from the computer screen every 10-15 minutes and focus for 5-10 seconds on a distant object outside or down the hallway or get up and take a short walk. Everyone tends to stare at the computer and blink less, about 5 times less than normal, according to studies. Staring and decreased blinking dry the eyes out. Taking frequent breaks allows normal blinking and better wetting of the eyes. Office buildings tend to be dry environments that also reduce tearing. If you are experiencing significant dryness, ask your eye doctor about artificial tears or eye drops that you can use during the day. By modifying your work area, you can reduce eyestrain and other effects of CVS. If you need to look back and forth between the printed or written page and the computer, eyestrain can occur. Place written pages on a copy stand next to the monitor. Properly light the copy stand. Adjust your workstation and chair to the correct height. Purchase ergonomic furniture to assure proper screen locations and posture. Poor ergonomic setup is a cause of head, neck, shoulder, and back pain. Place your monitor directly in front of you, not off to one side. It should be about 20 to 26 inches away from you. Make sure your monitor is just right for you, not too high and not too low. You may need to raise or lower your chair. If you reposition your chair, keep in mind that your arms should be parallel to the floor when you type, and your feet should be flat on the floor or on a footstool. Finally, maintain good posture at your desk: keep your back straight and your shoulders back. Adjust the contrast between the background and the characters on the screen by adjusting the brightness on your computer screen.

Computer Glasses for Blurred Vision and Other CVS Symptoms
Computer glasses are prescription glasses designed to be worn when working on a computer. They allow you to focus your eyes on a computer screen, which is at arms length, further away than the normal reading distance. There are other activities, such as playing the piano, tying flies, or shooting, that also require lenses that focus at a certain distance. These specialty glasses are designed to meet the patient's visual needs while performing the activity.
Computer work involves focusing the eyes at close distances. Computer monitors are often placed too close to the user because of space constraints or lack of understanding on how the eyes function while working on a computer. Some young people, whose near focal point are at around 16 inches, can compensate for the closeness of the monitor without significant eyestrain, but others who have focusing and binocular problems, uncorrected hyperopia (farsightedness), or uncorrected astigmatism, have significant eyestrain and symptoms.
Studies have shown that the constant effort needed to focus near objects and to sustain that focus can accommodative spasms, in which the focusing muscles lock into position and the eyes won't relax easily. This will lead to increased myopia (nearsightedness) or pseudo-myopia (looking nearsighted when you aren't). Pseudo-myopia is when you look up and it takes awhile to focus in, the eyes are locked in focus at near and won't relax easily. When the eyes are examined, they will accept nearsighted lenses, but when the eyes are dilated (the focusing muscles are relaxed and the true prescription is found) the patient is actually farsighted or requires significantly less nearsighted correction. If the cause of over-focusing is not corrected, the pseudo-myopia can become structuralized and the patient will truly become nearsighted and need to wear glasses full-time.
By wearing glasses that are set for the computer working distance and decreasing the accommodative effort younger computer operators need to focus on the computer screen, permanent vision changes can be prevented. Even contact lens wearers may need to wear glasses over their contacts for computer use.
Starting around age forty, the ability to focus on closer objects decreases and books and newspapers have to be held farther away to bring them into clear focus. This is the first sign of the condition called presbyopia (the inability to focus up close). Another sign of presbyopia is that the ability to refocus quickly between near and far objects decreases. For a while, it is possible to compensate for these difficulties, then, all of a sudden, the person just cannot focus at near. Most people over forty require vision correction for reading or performing other near tasks. The most common correction that allows for near vision without compromising far vision is a bifocal lens. The bifocal lens has an upper part that allows clear vision at a distance and the lower part is for reading or viewing close objects.
The conventional bifocal correction (general purpose bifocals) is not recommended for working with a computer. Wearing bifocal glasses forces a computer user to tilt the head back and move closer to focus on the screen to see through the lower part of the bifocal lenses. Such a position can cause neck and shoulder pain, as well as back pain and headaches. In this situation, a lens that corrects at the intermediate distance (armslength, not near or far) is needed to adequately focus on the computer screen. Old and young alike experience blurred vision and eyestrain that arise from their correction or lack of correction, which adds to the fatiguing effects of Computer Vision Syndrome. Computer glasses can make a world of difference in your comfort while using a computer. Not only do they correct blurred vision, but they also relieve symptoms caused by struggling to focus, such as headaches, eyestrain, tired eyes, and burning. If you already wear regular glasses or reading glasses, you may be tempted to dismiss the need for computer glasses. Unfortunately, regular glasses are not right for computer work. Most people wear glasses that do not correct the intermediate zone (armslength). Reading glasses correct near vision only. Multifocals correct distance and near and even those that do correct the intermediate area, such as trifocals and progressive (no-line bifocals), have only a small portion for the intermediate area, which is not nearly large enough for comfortable computer work.
Without appropriate eyeglasses, computer users end up with blurred vision, eyestrain a nd, often, headaches. Worse still, many people try to compensate for their blurred vision by leaning forward, or by tipping their head to look through the bottom portion of their glasses. Both of these actions can result in a sore neck, sore shoulders and a sore back.
Computer Lens Designs
Depending on the individual's vision and type of work, there are several options the type of lenses for computer glasses. Single vision, bifocal, trifocals, and progressive lenses are the main types of lenses prescribed for computer glasses. Most often, a separate pair of glasses is needed for computer work, in addition to the patient's dress glasses (general purpose glasses).
Single vision glasses provide the appropriate correction for the working distance between the screen and the computer user's eyes. This option allows users to have the same power the whole way across the lens and the whole screen can be seen with a minimum head movement. For presbyopic patients, the disadvantage of this option is that both distant objects and reading materials that are closer than the computer screen will appear blurry. When they look up, things at distance are blurry and when they want to read small print, they cannot pull things closer to see because the lenses only focus at armslength.
Bifocal glasses can be prescribed so that the focus of the upper part is set for the distance of the screen (armslength) and a lower area is set to focus at the regular reading distance. The disadvantage of this option is that distance is blurry. If distance viewing is desired, the computer bifocals must be removed and those who need a correction for distance will need to put on their regular glasses.
Trifocal lenses have the top part for distance, the bottom part for near vision, and a third for armslength (sits above the bottom part). The disadvantage of using trifocal lenses the small viewing area of the trifocal and the need for head movement.
Progressive lenses have basically the same three distances of focus as a trifocal, but there are an infinite number of focus points in between each of them. The disadvantage of progressive lenses is the distortion in peripheral vision (where they eliminate the lines), a small intermediate area, and a lot of head movement is required to use the lenses.
Occupational lenses or readables (the Sola Access lens or the Zeiss R lenses) that are a modified type of progressive lenses work the best for presbyopic computer users. They have three different zones of vision. The center is the largest and focuses the computer distance. If the chin is raised slightly and reading material is pulled closer, there is a comfortable power at the bottom for smaller print and focuses at the regular reading distance. If the head is dropped and the patient looks out through the top, the lens focuses out to about 10 feet, room-type vision. They do not have the lines blurred out and there is no distortion off the side. They address all of the disadvantages of the other types of lenses and are the most functional lenses. Most people working on computers need to focus at many distances for other tasks while doing their work. They are not intended for driving because they do not have a true distance focus in the lens. Distance viewing would require removal of the computer glasses and looking at distance without glasses or with the general use glasses.
If two pairs of glasses are not an option, there are clip-on magnifiers available that clip-on like clip-on sunglasses. Also, there are frames available that have a magnetic sunclip. It is possible to buy a second clip that has the armslength correction in it to focus on the computer. Caution should be used concerning buying ready made magnifying or reading glasses off the rack in stores to use as computer glasses. The perceived advantage of buying off the rack is price. The problem is that they are single vision lenses (they correct the vision at only one distance), the correction is exactly the same in each eye (few people have the exact same correction in each eye), and there is no option available for prism, a tint, a UV coating, and an anti-reflective coating.
There is no one type of computer glasses that fits all or is the best for everybody. Visual ability, personal preferences of the computer user, the type of work, the distance between the computer user's eyes and the monitor, and lighting in the workplace are all factors that should be taken into consideration when selecting and prescribing computer glasses. Each of the options listed above can be beneficial for computer users, if properly fitted and corrected maximally. It is very important that the selection of computer glasses is made based on consultation with an eye doctor (optometrist or ophthalmologist) who is knowledgeable in Computer Vision Syndrome

Kung may mga katanungan kau.. maari kong ipaliwanag... pnta kau sa optical laboratory ko.. hehe..

ZTE Broadband Deal

ZTE deal.. di naman dapat ako nagkokomento sa ganitong bagay dahil, di naman ako pamilyar sa sa deal na ito, at higit sa lahat hindi ako naambunan kahit 50 dollar.. Ang nag bigay lang sa akin ng idea para mag komento dito ay sa kadahilanang sila ulit ang sangkot... sila uli ang kasali.. sila uli ang nakinabang... tayo nanaman ang naisahan.. Nakakalungkot isipin na dahil sa mga taong di makuntento ay madaming tao ang nagugutom at walang tirahan... Milyon milyong dolyar ang na kick back ng mga mahuhusay na pinuno sa deal na ito, ito na ba ang kabayaran ng mga paghihirap nila? paghihirap sa pag canvass ng boto? boto na hindi naman nabilang o kung nabilang man eh na hokus pokus?? hello??? abalos??? ^_^...
Naisip ko nga bakit hindi nalang sila mag globe broadband o pldt broadband... o kya smart bro? hehehe... bakit kailangan pang umangkat sa ibang bansa kung meron naman dito dba? pag dito siguro kukuha eh alam nilang di nila magagatasan dahil kapwa pinoy... hay bahala na sila sa buhay nila, matatanda na sila... bukas o makalawa... baka mag balik ang bara sa kanilang mga ugat papuntang puso.... STROKE...DEAD...

One way daw oh...

kung titignan ang larawang ito.. parang wala namang mali...


pero pag nakita mo ang katagang one way sa kanang bahagi ng signboard ng PULIS...
parang mali na....

D2 sa pilipinas ang one way ay two way din... ang malupit pa nyan eh sa harapan mismo ng pulis station.... Bat kaya pag nasa ibang bansa ang mga pinoy eh masunurin sa batas,, pero pag sa sariling bayan eh barubal at walang respeto sa mga simpleng panuto....
Nanawagan ako sa mga pulis jan sa station na yan.. along quezon ave near BIR.... paki kalas na yang one way na sign nyo jan.... para di nakakahiya...

Erap was convicted to plunder case...

Pag gising ko kaninang umaga inabangan ko na agad sa telebisyon ang balita... tiniyak ko kse kung may pasok kme o wala... walang pasok sa CEU pero dahil sa QC ave. ako nag iintern, may pasok kme.. Napanood ko pa ang mga eksenang papaalis na si ERAP pa puntang sandiganbayan.. pero dahil malelate nko.. pumasok nko.. Inabangan ko ang magiging hatol, kaya tinext ko si kat at sinabing itxt sa akin ang hatol kay ERAP.. Hindi ako ERAP loyalist pero nakaka lungkot pa rin ang nangyare sa kanya.. sa pagkakaalam ko eh 72 y/o na sya tapos hahatulan ng 30-40 yrs na pagkakabilanggo.. huwaw.. pero sabi nga nila ang batas ay batas.. si GLORIA kaya kelan ang conviction??? Helo GArci??? haay.. mukhang malabo naman un kse andme nyang bataan sa mababang kapulungan... kya ipagdadasal ko na lamang na huwag umabot ng ganun ang paghusga ng tao sa kanya...

madaming natuwa sa desisyon, pero mas madameng nalungkot... pero tuloy pa rin ang buhay sa ilalim ng kasakiman at dayaan...

Kundiman...

Habang nakikinig sa radyo sa 99.5 hit fm, napukaw ang atensyon ko dahil ang topic ng Brewrats ay kundiman.. Isang uri ng awit na kapos ang aking kaalaman.. kaya naman inulan ko sila ng tanong sa hitboard.. Guest nila si Sir Michael Caroza... Sana nga magkaroon ng Tribute ang mga sikat na banda para sa mga kundiman songs.. parang ung Ginagawa nila sa mga hit song ng APO hiking society...

The kundiman is the Philippines’ signature love song, generally expressing the forlorn lament of a faithful lover pining for his beloved. Written in triple time, and predominantly in the minor key, it is closely related in form to its predecessors: the kumintang, which is strangely enough, a war song; and the awit, direct offspring of the kumintang. Both these forms share the same rhythmic pattern and melodic inflection, which also reappear, although somewhat altered, in the kundiman.
The origin of the term kundiman is the subject of several theories, one being that is the contraction of “kung hindi man,” literally meaning “if it were not so.” This phrase was a stock formula used in many early kundimans, which gives insight into the plaintive character of the song.
Interestingly, the form took on a patriotic cast in the early days as a reaction to the Spanish practice of forbidding the Filipinos any display of nationalism. The result was an outpouring of feelings in song, expressing love for a woman who symbolized the Motherland. “Jocelynang Baliwag” (circa 1896), for example, was popular among the revolutionaries, and called the “kundiman of the Revolution,” because although disguised as a long song dedicated to a young beauty of Baliwag, Bulacan called Josefa (Pepita) Tiongson y Lara, it really spoke of the country they were working to free (“Happy Eden in which are enthroned/Enjoyment and sweet joy…”).
The era of the kundiman is generally set between 1800 and 1930, in which the form underwent several distinct phases. What started as an expression of love through an extemporized text set in preexisting melodies next underwent semistylization, in which the metric pulses of Western dance forms – the danza, the waltz, the fandango – were integrated into the musical style. Then came the change from the extemporized text to literary-poetic verse forms by poets and fictionists like Jose Corazon de Jesus, who wrote the lyrics of the still-famous, patriotic “Bayan Ko” (My Country: A bird free to fly/ Weeps when caged…”), Deogracias A. Rosario and Jesus Balmori. The songs, however, continued to express unrequited and undying love, along with a resignation to heartbreak and pain.
During the early decades of the 20th century, in the American colonial regime, the kundiman underwent a final transformation as a result of the composers’ exposure to the academe. Formally trained musicians such as Fransisco Santiago and Nicanor Abelardo elevated it to the status of an art song. Santiago is credited with taking the simple folk song from and giving it three distinct parts. His first kundiman was “Anak Dalita” (Child of Woe) in 1917 (“I am the child of woe/burdened with tears… Let your heart fall to me/ and let fall life and hope”). Other important compositions were “Pakiusap” (Plea: ”I plead with you to take pity on me/ Even unto death, I only love once…”) and “Madaling Araw” (“Dawn”).
Nicanor Abelardo later wrote kundimans believed to have been inspired by Santiago’s works. Among his most famous are “Mutya ng Pasig” (Muse of Pasig), “kundiman ng Luha” (kundiman of Tears: “Let fall your perfumed handkerchief/ to wipe away my heart’s tears…), and “Nasaan Ka Irog” (Where are You, My Love). It was alos at about his time that kundimans were used by sarswela composers for their plays’ love songs, a practice that would lead, in the late 1930s and after World War II, to similar use of the songs in film musicals.
